NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Brain Scientific Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on November 18, 2013 under the name All Soft Gels Inc. The Company on September 21, 2018 acquired MemoryMD, Inc. (“MemoryMD”), a privately held Delaware corporation formed in February 2015. Upon completion of the acquisition, MemoryMD is treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer although the Company was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of MemoryMD, the surviving entity and accounting acquirer. MemoryMD is a cloud computing, data analytics and medical device technology company in the NeuroTech and brain monitoring industries seeking to commercialize its EEG devices and caps. The Company is headquartered in New York.
Reverse Merger and Corporate Restructure
On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with MemoryMD and AFGG Acquisition Corp. to acquire MemoryMD (the “Acquisition”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on September 21, 2018 and, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of MemoryMD were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, the Company acquired 100% of MemoryMD in exchange for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock and MemoryMD became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. The Company issued an additional 4,083,252 shares of its common stock upon the automatic conversion at the closing of an aggregate of $1,507,000 principal amount plus accrued interest of outstanding convertible promissory notes issued by MemoryMD, and it further issued an additional 1,604,378 shares of its common stock upon the automatic conversion immediately subsequent to the closing of an aggregate of $640,000 principal amount plus accrued interest of outstanding convertible promissory notes issued by MemoryMD. Furthermore, as of the closing, Mr. Amer Samad, the sole director and executive officer until the consummation of the Acquisition, committed to tender for cancellation 6,495,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the conditions to closing, of which 6,375,000 have been cancelled at December 31, 2018 and 120,000 are expected to be cancelled as soon as practicable. Total shares issued as a result of the Acquisition was 13,421,752.
The Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of Brain Scientific by MemoryMD, but in substance as a capital transaction, rather than a business combination since Brain Scientific had nominal or no operations and assets prior to and as of the closing of the Acquisition. The transaction is deemed a reverse recapitalization and the accounting is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets should be recorded. For accounting purposes, MemoryMD is treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer although Brain Scientific was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of MemoryMD.
All references to common stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse recapitalization as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Assignment and Assumption Agreement
As of immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Chromium 24 LLC, pursuant to which Chromium 24 LLC assumed all of the Company’s remaining assets and liabilities through the closing of the Acquisition. Accordingly, as of the closing of the Acquisition, Brain Scientific had no assets or liabilities other than the shares of MemoryMD acquired in the Acquisition.
Name Change and Increase in Authorized Shares
On September 18, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name to Brain Scientific Inc. On September 18, 2018, FINRA approved of the name change as well as a ticker symbol change, which was effective as of September 19, 2018. In addition, the Company increased its authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000 and created and authorized 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of its balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, MemoryMD and MemoryMD - Russia. The operations of the newly formed 100% wholly owned subsidiary, MemoryMD – Russia, are included beginning April 1, 2019. All significant consolidated transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the useful life of property and equipment and assumptions used in the valuation of options and warrants.
The Effects of COVID-19
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic on January 30, 2020. Since the outbreak in China in December 2019, COVID-19 has expanded its impact to Europe, where all of our operations reside, as well as our employees, suppliers and customers. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration of the closings and shelter-in-place orders and the ultimate impact of governmental initiatives. However, the financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents.
The Company’s cash is held with financial institutions, and the account balances may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. Accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts with these financial institutions. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $0 and $22,856, respectively, in excess over the FDIC insurance limit.

Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods that are valued at lower of cost or market using the weighted average method. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had inventory totaling $1,814 and $1,461, respectively.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for repair and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Property and equipment consisted of computer equipment, with an estimated useful life of three years. Depreciation expense was $176 and $341 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company has issued convertible notes, which contain variable conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest automatically convert into common shares at a fixed price which may be at a discount to the common stock at the time of conversion. For certain notes, the conversion features are contingent upon future events, whereby, the holder agreed not to convert until the contingent future event has occurred.
Derivative Instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible notes and warrants to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded as a liability and marked-to-market each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo Method that values the liability of the debt conversion feature, derivative financial instruments and derivative warrants in cases where there may be multiple embedded features or the features of the bifurcated derivatives may be so complex that a Black-Scholes valuation does not consider all of the terms of the instrument. Therefore, the fair value may not be appropriately captured by simple models. The Monte Carlo technique applied generates many possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and constant volatility. The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes.
From time to time, certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt and outstanding warrants have been treated as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes under ASC 815 due to insufficient authorized shares to fully settle conversion features of the instruments if exercised. In this case, the Company utilized the latest inception date sequencing method to reclassify outstanding instruments as derivative instruments. These contracts were recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings until such time as the conditions giving rise to such derivative liability classification were settled.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding lease liability. Lessor accounting under the standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company adopted the following practical expedients and elected the following accounting policies related to this standard update:
● | Short-term lease accounting policy election allowing lessees to not recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. |
● | The option to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain equipment lease asset categories such as freight car, vehicles and work equipment. |

Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Once the steps are met, revenue is recognized, generally upon receiving a letter of acceptance from the customer. There has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of NeuroCaps, as well as revenue from the sale of goods purchased through manufacturers of medical devices. Primarily all revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is from the sale of medical devices in Russia purchased from Neurotech, a related party.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses all research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development includes expenditures in connection with in-house research and development salaries and staff costs, application and filing for regulatory approval of proposed products, regulatory and scientific consulting fees, as well as contract research, data collection, and monitoring, related to the research and development of the cloud infrastructure, data imaging, and proprietary products and technology. Research and development costs recognized in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $100,844 and $96,390, respectively.
Sales and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs recognized in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $77,254 and $40,584, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options and warrants. Equity-based compensation expense is recorded in administrative expenses based on the classification of the employee or vendor. The determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as by assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock equivalents such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt instruments. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented are identical. As of March 31, 2021, 7,268,245 anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are measured and recorded at fair value based on inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact, and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

Fair value is determined for assets and liabilities using a three-tiered value hierarchy into which these assets and liabilities are grouped based upon significant inputs as follows:
● | Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2 - Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3, the determination is based upon the lack of significance of the observable parameters to the overall fair value measurement. However, the fair value determination for Level 3 financial instruments may consider some observable market inputs. |
The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, convertible notes, accounts payable, loans payable and due to others approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.
The Company did not have any other Level 1 or Level 2 assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and the Company did not have any other Level 1 or Level 2 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset-and-liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The standard applies to all tax positions and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The first step involves assessing whether the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical merits. The second step involves measurement of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position in the financial statements if it believes that the position is more likely than not to be sustained by the relevant taxing authority. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized uncertain income tax positions.
On December 22, 2017, the passage of legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted and significantly revised the U.S. income tax law. The TCJA includes changes, which reduce the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% for years beginning after December 31, 2017. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) was issued and allows a company to recognize provisional amounts when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed, including computations, in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in tax law. SAB 118 provides for a measurement of up to one year from the date of enactment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had $117,229 in revenues, a net loss of $3,197,829 and had net cash used in operations of $577,787. Additionally, as of March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $7,766,693, $7,786,405 and $11,154,691, respectively. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Successful completion of the Company’s development program and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities, acceptance of the Company’s patent applications and ultimately achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investments or achieve an adequate sales level.
NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In January 2019, the Company commenced an offering of up to $500,000 pursuant to which the Company will issue convertible notes to investors. On January 18, 2019, February 5, 2019 and July 23, 2019, the Company issued three such convertible notes payable to three investors for $100,000, $130,000 and $150,000, respectively. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum, computed based on a 360-day year and mature on the earlier of one year from the date of issuance or the consummation of an equity or equity-linked round of financing of the Company in excess of $1,000,000 (“Qualified Financing”) or other event pursuant to which conversion shares are to be issued pursuant to the terms of the note. On February 24, 2021, the $100,000, $130,000, and $150,000 loans were extended to January 18, 2022, February 5, 2022 and February 21, 2022, respectively.
The notes are convertible into common stock of the Company following events on the following terms: with no action on the part of the note holder upon the consummation of a Qualified Financing, the debt will be converted to new round stock based on the product of the outstanding principal and accrued interest multiplied by 1.35, then divided by the accrual per share price of the new round common stock. If a change of control occurs or if the Company completes a firmly underwritten public offering of its common stock prior to the Qualified Financing the notes would, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal of the notes, be either payable on demand as of the closing of such change of control or Initial Public Offering (‘IPO”) or convertible into shares of common stock immediately prior to such change of control transaction or IPO transaction at a price per share equal to the lesser of the per share value of the common stock as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or the per share consideration to be received by the holders of the common stock in such change of control or IPO transaction. Based on the terms of the conversion, the holders may receive a discount, and the notes are considered to have a contingent beneficial conversion feature. If conversion of the debt occurs, the Company will recognize an expense related to the intrinsic value. The Company recorded $75,533 of accrued interest and has a total outstanding principal balance of $380,000 as of March 31, 2021.
In the event that the Company consummates a financing prior to the maturity date, other than a Qualified Financing, and the economic terms thereof are more favorable to the investors in such financing than the terms of the note, the note shall automatically be amended to reflect such more favorable economic terms.

December 31, 2019 Securities Purchase Agreement
On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued and sold to a third party investor a Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $275,000 (the “Note”), and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”). The aggregate purchase price received by the Company was $250,000 after an original issue discount of $25,000. A one-time interest charge of 8% was applied on December 31, 2019 and will be payable, along with the Principal, on July 31, 2020, as may be extended at the option of the Investor.
On August 5, 2020, the Company entered into an Allonge to the Convertible Note, dated as of August 8, 2020, which amended the Note. The allonge amended the Note by, among other things, extending the maturity date of the loan until October 31, 2020. As consideration for the allonge, the original principal amount was increased by ten percent, and the Company agreed to issue 50,000 shares of its common stock to the investor that were valued at fair market value of $75,000. The Company evaluated the allonge for debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the $297,000 of principal and accrued interest was written off, new debt was recorded at fair value as of August 5, 2020 in the amount of $324,500 and the Company recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $176,467.
On October 29, 2020, the Company entered into a second Allonge to the Convertible Note which amended the Note. The allonge amended the Note by, among other things, extending the maturity date of the loan until January 31, 2021. As consideration for the allonge, the original principal amount was increased by ten percent, and the Company agreed to issue 50,000 shares of its common stock to the investor that were valued at fair market value of $75,000. The Company evaluated the allonge for debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the $324,500 of principal and accrued interest was written off, new debt was recorded at fair value as of October 29, 2020 in the amount of $359,370 and the Company recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $115,524.
On December 28, 2020, the Company issued a non-convertible promissory note with interest terms that were more favorable than the terms of the Convertible Note. As a result of that issuance, certain abovementioned terms of the Convertible Note were triggered which reset the interest rate of the Convertible Note to 12%. The effect of the interest rate reset resulted in increases of $2,310 to the balance of the Convertible Note, $11,000 of accrued interest, $11,000 of interest expense and $2,310 of loss on extinguishment of debt. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $294,301. The Company has a total outstanding principal balance under the Note of $339,680 and $33,000 of accrued interest as of December 31, 2020.
On February 8, 2021, the Company entered into a third Allonge to the Convertible Note which amended the Note. The allonge amended the Note by, among other things, extending the maturity date of the loan until May 1, 2021. As consideration for the allonge, the original principal amount was increased by ten percent, and the Company agreed to issue 50,000 shares of its common stock to the investor that were valued at fair market value of $75,000. The Company evaluated the allonge for debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the $372,680 of principal and accrued interest was written off, new debt was recorded at fair value as of February 8, 2021 in the amount of $409,948 and the Company recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $165,442.
The Company recorded a total debt discount of $332,042 related to the above convertible notes. Amortization of the debt discount is recorded as interest expense of the full discount of $332,042 was amortized through the original maturity date of July 31, 2020.
The unpaid outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the investor. The conversion price shall be equal to 80% multiplied by the price per share paid by the investors in the next capital raising transaction consummated by the Company in the amount of $1,000,000 or more (the “Qualified Financing”), subject to adjustments as provided in the Note. In the event the investor elects to convert the Note prior to a Qualified Financing, the conversion price shall be the effective exercise price per share from time to time pursuant to the Warrant. At any time prior to the maturity date of the Note, upon 10 business days’ notice to the investor, the Company shall have the right to pre-pay the entire remaining principal amount of the Note subject to the pre-payment terms contained in the Note. The note is valued at face value and not considered a derivative since the Qualified Financing is at the control of the Company.

The Note contains a price-based anti-dilution provision, pursuant to which the conversion price of the Note shall be reduced upon the occurrence of certain dilutive issuances of Company securities as set forth in the Note. The conversion of the Note is also subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. In the event the Company, prior to the maturity date of the Note, issues any Security (as defined in the Note) with any term more favorable to the holder of such Security or with a term in favor of the holder of such Security that was not similarly provided to the Investor, then at the Investor’s option such term shall become a part of the Note. The Company also agreed to provide piggy-back registration rights to the investor pursuant to which the Company shall include all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note on the next registration statement the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Note contains events of default which, among other things, entitle the Investor to accelerate the due date of the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Note. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance shall immediately and automatically increase to 130% of the outstanding balance immediately prior to the event of default, and the conversion price of the Note shall be redefined to equal 65% of the lowest trade accruing during the 10 consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Note) immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date (as defined in the Note). Nickolay Kukekov, a director of the Company, and a third party, each has personally guaranteed the repayment of the Note.
The Warrant has an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustments as provided in the Warrant, and has a term of five years. The Warrant contains a price-based anti-dilution provision, pursuant to which the exercise price of the Warrant shall be reduced upon the occurrence of certain dilutive issuances of securities as set forth in the Warrant, with a corresponding increase in the number of shares underlying the Warrant if the dilutive event occurs during the first three years of the Warrant, and a cashless exercise provision. The exercise of the Warrant is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Company calculated the Warrants at fair value of $130,768 using the Monte Carlo model, which was recognized as a discount to the Note and is being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the notes. The Note is considered a derivative liability due to the variable market-based conversion price upon default. The Warrant is accounted for as a discount to the Note, and therefore fair valued and recorded as a derivative liability as well. On March 31, 2021, the Warrant derivative was valued at $193,178. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair market value of derivative liabilities in the amount of $84,152 and $47,219, respectively, in relation to the Warrant derivative.
Due to the partial conversion of an outstanding convertible loan, certain anti-dilution provisions were triggered, resulting in the reset of the warrant amounts from 125,000 to 166,667, warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.75 and the conversion price was capped at $0.75.
Convertible Grid Notes
On April 21, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Grid Promissory Note (the “Caleca Note”) to Thomas J. Caleca (“Caleca”), an existing stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which Caleca agreed to advance to the Company the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 (the “Caleca Aggregate Advance”). The Company also issued to Caleca a common stock purchase warrant (the “Caleca Warrant”), granting Caleca the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.80 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Caleca Warrant).

Also on April 21, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Grid Promissory Note (the “Brown Note”, and together with the Caleca Note, the “Grid Notes”) to Andrew Brown (“Brown”, and together with Caleca, the “Grid Investors”), an existing stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which Brown agreed to advance to the Company the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 (the “Brown Aggregate Advance”, and together with the Caleca Aggregate Advance, the “Aggregate Advance”). The Company also issued to Brown a common stock purchase warrant (the “Brown Warrant”, and together with the Caleca Warrant, the “Grid Warrants”), granting Brown the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.80 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Brown Warrant). The Grid Warrants are exercisable at any time commencing on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance of the Grid Warrants (as may be accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Grid Warrants) and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the issuance of the Grid Warrants.
On April 22, 2020, the Grid Investors each made their first cash advance of $25,000 pursuant to the terms of the Grid Notes, for an aggregate cash advance to the Company of $50,000 (the “First Advance”). The Grid Investors made additional cash advances to the Company pursuant to the terms of their Grid Notes. As of December 31, 2020, a total of $250,000 in principal was advanced to the Company. The Company recorded debt discount of $233,893 related to the Grid Notes. Amortization of the debt discount is recorded as interest expense and a total of $59,981 was amortized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The Grid Notes bear interest on the unpaid balances at a fixed simple rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (subject to a rate increase if the Company commits an Event of Default (as defined in the Grid Notes)), computed based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, commencing on the date of the respective advance and payable quarterly. The principal amount of the Aggregate Advance, or so much thereof as has been advanced to the Company by the Grid Investors from time to time pursuant to the Grid Notes, will be payable on April 21, 2021, unless sooner converted into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the Grid Notes. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the due date was extended to April 21, 2022. The Company recorded $13,032 of accrued interest and has a total outstanding principal balance of $250,000 as of March 31, 2021.
The unpaid outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under the Grid Notes shall be convertible at any time prior to the maturity date of the Grid Notes at the election of the Grid Investors into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock obtained by dividing the amount so converted by $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”). At the maturity date of the Grid Notes, all of the remaining unpaid outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest (the “Outstanding Balance”) under the Grid Notes shall automatically convert into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock obtained by dividing the Outstanding Balance by the Conversion Price. The Grid Notes may not be prepaid by the Company in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the respective Grid Investor.
The Grid Notes contain customary events of default, which, if uncured, entitle the Grid Investors to accelerate the due date of the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, their Grid Notes.
September 1, 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement
On September 1, 2020 (the “September 1 Issuance Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued and sold to an investor an 8% Convertible Redeemable Note in the original principal amount of $157,500 (the “September 1 Note”).

The September 1 Note bears interest commencing on the September 1 Issuance Date at a fixed rate of 8% per annum on any unpaid principal balance, and will be payable, along with the principal amount, on September 1, 2021, unless such interest is earlier converted into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the conversion terms contained in the September 1 Note. The Company recorded debt discount of $157,500 related to the September 1 Note. Amortization of the debt discount is recorded as interest expense and a total of $47,000 was amortized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company recorded $10,167 of accrued interest and has a total outstanding principal balance of $137,500 as of March 31, 2021.

At the investor’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the investor underlying shares upon conversion by the 3rd business day thereafter and if the investor incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss (as defined in the September 1 Note), then the Company must make the investor whole in relation to such loss.
Upon certain sale events as specified in the September 1 Note, the Company shall, upon request of the investor, redeem the September 1 Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the investor, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of the September 1 Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Company common stock immediately prior to such sale event at the conversion price specified in the September 1 Note.

If the Buyer elects to have the Company pay such liquidated damages in shares of common stock, such shares shall be issued at the conversion price at the time of payment.
The September 22 Note bears interest commencing on the September 22 Issuance Date at a fixed rate of 12% per annum on any unpaid principal balance, and will be payable, along with the principal amount, on September 22, 2021, unless such interest is earlier converted into shares of the common stock pursuant to the conversion terms contained in the September 22 Note.

The September Warrants each have an exercise price of $1.28, subject to customary adjustments, and may be exercised at any time until the three-year anniversary of the September Warrants; provided, however, in the event the Company repays the September 22 Note in its entirety on or prior to the maturity date of the September 22 Note, Warrant B shall automatically expire and may only be exercised in the event it does not so automatically expire. The September Warrants include a cashless exercise provision as set forth therein.
On December 28, 2020, the Company issued a non-convertible promissory note with a warrant exercise price that was more favorable than the terms of the September 22 Note. The amount of shares under the September Warrants was reset to 1,505,882 with an exercise price of $1.20.
February 8, 2021 Loan
On February 8, 2021, the Company signed a loan agreement in the amount on $500,000 (the “February 8 Loan”) pursuant to which the Company would enter into a business combination with the lender subject to the terms and conditions defined in the agreement. The loan bears interest of 10% and matures upon the earlier of 6 months or the date that the business combination becomes effective. In the case of a business combination becoming effective, the loan shall convert immediately into or be credited towards such transaction.
Derivative Accounting for the Convertible Notes Payable
The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the Note, the Grid Notes, the September 1 Note, and the September 22 Note under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable could exceed the Company’s authorized share limit, the equity environment is tainted, and all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the derivative liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion options and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date and revalued at each reporting period.
Certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt and outstanding warrants are treated as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes under ASC 815 due to insufficient authorized shares to settle these outstanding contracts, or due to other rights connected with these contracts, such as registration rights. In the case of insufficient authorized share capital available to fully settle outstanding contracts, the Company utilizes the issuance date sequencing method to reclassify outstanding contracts as derivative instruments. These instruments do not trade in an active securities market. As a result, the conversion terms of the Note, the Grid Notes, the September 1 Note, and the September 22 Note are treated as a derivative liability. (see Note 6)

Provided that an event of default under the December 28 Note has not occurred, the Company may prepay in whole or in part the amounts outstanding under the December 28 Note without a prepayment penalty.
The December 28 Note contains customary events of default which entitle the investor, among other things, to accelerate the due date of the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the December 28 Note.

The December Warrants each have an exercise price of $1.20, subject to customary adjustments, and may be exercised at any time until the three-year anniversary of the December Warrants; provided, however, in the event the Company repays the December 28 Note in its entirety on or prior to the maturity date of the December 28 Note, Warrant B shall automatically expire and may only be exercised in the event it does not so automatically expire.

NOTE 9 – LEASES
The Company has inventoried all leases where the Company is a lessee as of the initial date of application and has examined other contracts with suppliers, vendors, customers and other outside parties to identify whether such contracts contain an embedded lease as defined under the new guidance. The Company’s lease population comprises lease for corporate office space and a warehouse that are year-to-year basis with monthly rent ranging from approximately $150 to $3,200 and qualify under the practical expedient of short-term leases. The Company does not have exclusive rights of control to any assets in the customer and vendor contracts reviews and does not have any financing leases as of the date of adoption of ASC 842.
Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company entered into a 12-month lease agreement ending December 31, 2020, with a third party in Russia. The Company is paying rent at a rate of 17,900 Rubles ($240) per month.
Additionally, the Company also rents a warehouse. Beginning December 1, 2018, the Company entered into a 6-month warehouse rental agreement for $2,980 per month.

This conversion triggered certain anti-dilution provisions of the Note (See note 5) and as a result, the conversion price of the Note was reduced to $0.45, and the warrant amount was reset to 277,741 with an exercise price of $0.45 per share.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes included in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain information contained in this MD&A includes “forward-looking statements.” Statements which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our existing and proposed business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks described in detail in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, and especially given the nature of our existing and proposed business, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will in fact occur. Potential investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.
Overview
We are a neurodiagnostic and predictive technology platform company seeking to provide a centralized platform for data acquisition and analysis of EEG data that combines innovative medical device technologies with cloud-based telehealth services. Both our NeuroCap, a pre-gelled disposable EEG headset, and NeuroEEG, a 16 channel, portable, cloud-enabled data acquisition platform for EEG activity, received FDA clearance to market in 2018.
The Company is not currently offering any data analysis services. The Company is primarily focused on establishing diagnostic protocols to identify pathological risk factors involving the brain, and driving novel insights into cognitive health that support early treatment of neurological disorders.
22
In 2019, we commenced acting as a distributor of third-party medical devices in Russia (including those purchased from a company affiliated with one of our former officers and directors), which resulted in all of our revenue for 2019. Sales in Russia is also the majority of all revenue in 2020 (except for $7,498 that was from sales from our U.S. operating subsidiary). While we intend to continue the sale of third party medical devices, we do not intend for it to be our primary source of revenue in the long-term and expect to curtail or cease this line of operations as, if and when we commence generating material, recurring revenues from our products, of which we can give no assurance. We also can give no assurance that any revenue we generate from so acting as a distributor of third-party medical devices will continue, will continue to be material or will be sufficient to enable us to continue our operations. We have no supply or distribution agreements in place with respect to such business. In the event that we see an opportunity to sell such products, we procure them and then re-sell them.
We have very limited resources. To date, our primary activities have been limited to, and our limited resources have been dedicated to, performing business and financial planning, raising capital, recruiting personnel, negotiating with business partners and the licensors of our intellectual property and conducting development activities, although we have acted as a distributor of third-party medical devices in Russia (including those purchased from a company affiliated with one of our officers and directors) which has generated revenue for us. Our first products, the NeuroCap and NeuroEEG, are ready for commercialization and sale and we have commenced some non-recurring, initial sales. Our other products are still being tested or are still under development.
We have incurred losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $11,154,691 as of March 31, 2021, primarily as a result of expenses incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future.
Historically, our primary source of cash has been proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes and other borrowings. To fund our operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, we issued one convertible promissory note for gross proceeds of $500,000. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued convertible promissory notes for aggregate gross proceeds of $897,700 and a promissory note for gross proceeds of 285,000.
We need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise such capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop and commercialize our products and future products and our ability to pursue our business strategy. See “Liquidity and Capital Requirements” below.
Financial Overview
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we have generated approximately $117,000 of revenue primarily through our acting as a distributor of third-party medical devices in Russia (including those purchased from a company affiliated with one of our former officers and directors), while we continue to commercialize our products. While we intend to continue generating revenues through the sale of third-party medical devices, we do not intend for it to be our primary source of revenue in the long-term. We do not expect to generate recurring, material revenue from our products unless or until we successfully commercialize our products. If we fail to successfully commercialize our developed products or fail to complete the development of any other product candidate we may pursue in the future, in a timely manner, or fail to obtain regulatory approval, we may not be able to solely rely on generating substantial and material revenue from the distribution of third-party medical devices.
23
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for personnel in functions not directly associated with research and development activities. Other significant costs include legal fees relating to corporate matters, intellectual property costs, professional fees for consultants assisting with regulatory, clinical, product development and financial matters, and product costs. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will significantly increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities, commercialization of our products, if approved, and the increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases will include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees for legal and professional services, as well as other public company related costs.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities in developing our products. Research and development expenses include compensation and benefits for research and development employees, overhead expenses, cost of laboratory supplies, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, costs related to regulatory operations, fees paid to consultants, and other outside expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed.
We expect our research and development expenses to remain substantially the same for the next six to nine months as we continue to develop and commercialize our products. As we develop our cloud-based computing system, we expect our research and development expenses to significantly increase.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily consists of amortized debt discount related to the convertible and non-convertible notes we issued in 2019 and 2020. The convertible notes bear interest at fixed rate ranging from 10%-12% per annum.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 vs. March 31, 2020
Revenues
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $117,229, compared to $133,845 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we generated our revenue primarily through acting as a distributor of third-party medical devices in Russia (including those purchased from a company affiliated with one of our former officers and directors).
24
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $511,653 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $208,635 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to an increase in consulting fees related to marketing and fundraising activities. In addition, wages increased in the current quarter due to a new employee and increased stock-based compensation expenses.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses were $100,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $96,390 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Professional fees
Professional fees were $132,292 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $123,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal fees in the current year due to regulatory requirements and capital raising.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $393,848, consisting of interest expense of $31,137 and amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts of approximately $362,711 related to the Company’s convertible and non-convertible promissory notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
While we have generated revenue in 2021 and 2020, we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, substantially all of such revenue was generated through acting as a distributor of third-party medical devices in Russia, and we did not have any material sales of our products. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we develop our products and pursue pre-clinical testing and clinical trials, seek any further regulatory approvals, contract to manufacture any products, establish our own sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our products, hire additional staff, add operational, financial and management systems and operate as a public company.
Historically, our primary source of cash has been proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes and related party loans. We have also from time to time issued shares of our common stock to individuals and entities as payment for services rendered to us in lieu of cash.
We have no current source of revenue to sustain our present activities other than as acting as a distributor of medical devices in Russia (including those purchased from a company affiliated with one of our offices and directors), which is not our primary business goal, and we do not expect to generate material revenue, from our products until, and unless, the FDA or other regulatory authorities approve our products under development and we successfully commercialize our products. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through our distributorship revenue, a combination of equity (preferred stock or common stock) and debt financings as well as collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third-party partners, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our Product development, future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, noting the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This uncertainty arose from management’s review of our results of operations and financial condition and its conclusion that, based on our operating plans, we did not have sufficient existing working capital to sustain operations for a period of twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
We will require additional funds and/or generate revenues, to continue to fund our operating expenses.
25
In February 2021, we issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $500,000. We may obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of our common stock, through other equity or debt financings or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and any failure to raise capital as and when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan. We recently launched a Regulation A+ offering pursuant to which the Company is offering up to a maximum of 1,111,111 units, with each unit consisting of five shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.001, at an offering price of $9.00 per unit or $1.80 per share of common stock, for a maximum aggregate offering of $10,000,000, the success of which cannot by assured by the Company. As of the date hereof, the Company has raised approximately $8,000 under its Regulation A+ offering.
The development of our products is subject to numerous uncertainties, and we have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be substantially different than we currently anticipate and could use our cash resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of developing medical devices is costly, and the timing of progress in pre-clinical tests and clinical trials is uncertain. Our ability to successfully transition to profitability will be dependent upon achieving a level of product sales adequate to support our cost structure. We cannot assure you that we will ever be profitable or generate positive cash flow from operating activities.
Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $577,787 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $252,319 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This fluctuation is primarily due to an increase in net loss of approximately $2,246,000, a decrease in amortization of debt discount of approximately $69,000, and accounts payable of approximately $161,000 partially offset by an increase in change in fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $1,864,000, loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $92,000, common stock issued for services of approximately $89,000, prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $43,000, accounts payable – related party of 76,000 and a decrease in the amortization of debt discount and non-cash interest expense of approximately $69,200.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which primarily consisted of the issuance of a convertible promissory note for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 offset by the partial repayment of a different convertible promissory note.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which consisted of the proceeds from the issuance of a note payable.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances at the time such estimates are made. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions. We periodically review our estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. The effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected in our financial statements prospectively from the date of the change in estimate.
26
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report, we believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements that require significant estimates and judgments.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimates of useful lives for depreciation, the valuation of stock options, and the valuation of derivative liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
● | Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
● | Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. |
● | Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. |
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair value of current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Derivative Instruments: The Company evaluates its convertible notes and warrants to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded as a liability and marked-to-market each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo Method that values the liability of the debt conversion feature, derivative financial instruments and derivative warrants in cases where there may be multiple embedded features or the features of the bifurcated derivatives may be so complex that a Black-Scholes valuation does not consider all of the terms of the instrument. Therefore, the fair value may not be appropriately captured by simple models. The Monte Carlo technique applied generates many possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and constant volatility. The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes.
From time to time, certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt and outstanding warrants have been treated as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes under ASC 815 due to insufficient authorized shares to fully settle conversion features of the instruments if exercised. In this case, the Company utilized the latest inception date sequencing method to reclassify outstanding instruments as derivative instruments. These contracts were recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings until such time as the conditions giving rise to such derivative liability classification were settled.
Revenue Recognition: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Once the steps are met, revenue is recognized, generally upon receiving a letter of acceptance from the customer. There has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of NeuroCaps, as well as revenue from the sale of goods purchased through manufacturers of medical devices. Primarily all revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is from the sale of medical devices in Russia purchased from Neurotech, a related party.
27
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes, ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Stock Based Compensation. The Company accounts for the grant of restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of equity based compensation. The expense is recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the compensation. Any remaining unrecognized balance will be recognized ratably over the life of the vesting period and is a reduction of stockholders’ equity.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,” which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements and is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management of the Company, under the direction of our Board of Directors and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2021. Based on that review and evaluation, the Board of Directors and Chief Financial Officer, along with the management of the Company, have determined that as of March 31, 2021, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Specifically, we have identified the following material weakness in our disclosure controls: (i) insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure timely filing of reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, and (ii) a lack of full-time executive management, including a lack of a full-time chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and other members of management who would otherwise oversee the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
28
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business.
We are not currently a party in any legal proceeding or governmental regulatory proceeding nor are we currently aware of any pending or potential legal proceeding or governmental regulatory proceeding proposed to be initiated against us that would have a material adverse effect on us or our business.
Not required for a Smaller Reporting Company.
