(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. On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired Piezo Motion Corp (“Piezo”), a privately held Delaware corporation formed in January 2020. Upon completion of the acquisition, Piezo 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 Piezo.. The Company has two lines of operations The MemoryMD subsidiary group is involved in cloud computing, data analytics and medical device technology in the NeuroTech and brain monitoring industries seeking to commercialize its EEG devices and caps. The Piezo subsidiary group is focused on the ultrasonic standing wave-type piezo motor technology for rotary and linear motion and has experience in the research and development, as well as the manufacturing, of piezo motors for high-tech industries across the globe. The Company is headquartered in Sarasota, Florida.

Reverse Merger and Corporate Restructure

On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Piezo and BRSF Acquisition Inc. to acquire Piezo (the “Acquisition”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on October 1, 2021 and, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of Piezo were exchanged for 29,520,454 shares of the Company’s common stock and Piezo became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

The Merger was effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger whereby Piezo is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Piezo is considered the acquiring company for accounting purposes as upon completion of the Merger, Piezo’s former stockholders held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company.

Pursuant to the Merger, the Company issued shares of its common stock to Piezo’s stockholders, at an exchange ratio of 2.93 shares of the Company’s common stock.

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.

Acquisition Accounting 

The fair value of Brain Scientific assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based upon management’s estimates assisted by an independent third-party valuation firm.

The following table summarizes the allocation of purchase price of the acquisition: 

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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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, Piezo Motion Corp, Discovery Technology International, Inc., MemoryMD US, MemoryMD – Russia and MemoryMD - Europe. 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $0 and $277,989, 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. 

Property and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the assets estimated service lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred, and betterments are capitalized. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations of the respective period. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years.

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

Amortization expense is included in the consolidated income statement within general and administrative expenses.

The asset is tested for impairment if there is a trigger for impairment.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or whenever we identify certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, macro and reporting unit specific economic factors (for example, interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and loss of key personnel), supply costs, unanticipated competitive activities, and acts by governments and courts.

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.

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 revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are from the sale of medical devices purchased from Neurotech, a related party. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $1,475 related to the sales of evaluation kits.

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, 2022 and 2021 were $84,717 and $55,165, 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, 2022 and 2021 were $191,471 and $43,773, 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. In the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 73,193,185, and 0 anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation, respectively.

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:

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, Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 

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, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no unrecognized uncertain income tax positions.

Reclassification

Certain prior years balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

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, 2022, the Company had $159,588 in revenues, a net loss of $2,159,938 and had net cash used in operations of $1,493,658. Additionally, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $3,612,721, $2,488,880 and $24,438,861, 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 10 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE – SHORT TERM

Assumed convertible debt

As part of the merger, the Company assumed $891,133 of outstanding convertible debt. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company paid off $574,133, and signed an amendment to one of the debt agreements increasing the debt by $20,000, resulting in an outstanding balance of the assumed convertible debt as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of $337,000. The assumed convertible debt is made up of the 2019 Note and the Convertible Grid note whose terms described below.

2019 Note

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued and sold to a third party 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”). A one-time interest charge of 8% was applied on December 31, 2019 and will be payable, along with the Principal, on the maturity date.

On December 30, 2021, the Company signed an allonge amending the Note extending the maturity date to April 30, 2022 and amending the outstanding balance and payment schedule to provide for two equal payments of $60,000 on March 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022. On March 31, 2022 the Company signed an allonge amending the Note, extending the maturity date to December 31, 2022 and amended the outstanding balance and payment schedule to provide for seven monthly payments of $10,000 plus interest at the rate of 14% per annum. The first monthly payment is payable on June 30, 2022. A final payment of $50,000 plus interest is due upon maturity. The outstanding principal balance as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $87,000. 

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 was set at the merger to $0.28 which is equal to 80% multiplied by the price per share used in the merger calculations.

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.

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. In 2021, the terms of the Grid Warrants were amended extending the first date of exercise to October 21, 2022.

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, was payable on April 21, 2021, which was amended to April 21, 2022. The Company has a total outstanding principal balance of $250,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and accrued interest of $35,532 and $28,032 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Grid Notes and accrued interest were converted into 287,242 shares of common stock.

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.

NOTE 11 – NOTES PAYABLE

December 28, 2020 Note

On December 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December Purchase Agreement”) dated as of December 28, 2020 (the “December 28 Issuance Date”) and issued and sold to an investor a Promissory Note (the “December 28 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000. Pursuant to the December Purchase Agreement, in connection with the issuance of the December 28 Note, the Company issued two common stock purchase warrants (separately, “Warrant A” and “Warrant B”, and together, the “December Warrants”) to the investor, allowing the investor to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with Warrant A being a commitment fee of 250,000 shares of common stock, and Warrant B being fully earned upon issuance as an additional commitment fee of 250,000 shares of common stock, provide that Warrant B is returnable to the Company upon the repayment of the December 28 Note, as an additional incentive for the repayment of the December 28 Note. The net amount received by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $265,000 after payment of certain fees to the investor or on behalf of the investor. The December 28 Note bears interest commencing on the December 28 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 December 28, 2021.

A lump-sum interest payment for one year is due on the December 28 Issuance Date and added to the principal balance and payable on the maturity date of the December 28 Note or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise, notwithstanding the number of days which the principal is outstanding. Principal payments shall be made in 6 installments each in the amount of $56,000 commencing 180 days following the Issue Date (as defined in the Note) and continuing thereafter each 30 days for 5 months. The Company recorded debt discount of $300,000 related to the December 28 Note, which was fully amortized as of December 31, 2021. The Company has a total outstanding principal balance of $300,000 as of March 31, 2022.

On December 28, 2021, the December 28 Note was amended to add $33,600 of interest, and to amend the payment terms to two equal payments of $184,800 due on February 28, 2022 and March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company made a payment of $65,300 in respect of the outstanding interest. The Company is in the process of renegotiating the payment terms of the outstanding principal and remaining interest.

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. Upon an event of default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. The December 28 Note further contains monetary penalties in the event of certain events of default or breaches. 

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. The December Warrants include a cashless exercise provision as set forth therein.

NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

2021 Notes

In conjunction with the closing of the Merger on October 1, 2021, the Company conducted an initial closing under a private offering (the “Offering”) of 10% convertible promissory notes due and payable on April 1, 2023 (the “2021 Notes”). As part of the Offering, the Company exchanged the 2020 Notes and accrued interest as well as additional notes issued in 2021 with the same terms as the 2020 Notes and their accrued interest amounting to $4,328,407, as well as $1,540,508 of debt assumed in the merger into 2021 Notes. At the merger, the Company also issued a convertible promissory note to an investor in the amount of $2,950,000 with proceeds of $2,850,000 net of an original issuance discount, with the same terms as the 2021 Notes. The balance of the debt discount at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $66,910 and $83,364, respectively. Each holder of the 2021 Notes, provided that the note is still then outstanding, will be issued, on the earlier of (i) the date, if any, upon which the Company’s common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange (the “Uplist”), and (ii) the date that is eighteen months from the date of issuance, a warrant to purchase an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to such holder’s Warrant Share Amount. For purposes of the foregoing, a holder’s “Warrant Share Amount” means (i) if such Warrant is issued in connection with the Uplist, one half of the initial principal balance of such Holder’s Note at issuance divided by the lesser of (A) $0.40, and (B) and the greater of (x) $0.20 and (y) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the closing price for the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the date of the Uplist, and (ii) if such Warrant is issued otherwise than in connection with the Uplist, the initial principal balance of such Holder’s Note, divided by the lesser of (A) $0.40, and (B) and the greater of (x) $0.20 and (y) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the Company’s common stock over the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date that is eighteen months from the date of issuance. The 2021 Notes contain mandatory and voluntary conversion features as detailed in the agreement.

On December 21, 2021, the Company consummated the second closing of the Offering whereby the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with three accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors purchased from the Company, 2021 Notes in the principal amount of $900,000.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total amount of 2021 Notes principal outstanding was $10,868,915 and $9,718,915, respectively.

NOTE 13 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

As part of the October 1, 2021 merger with Piezo Motion Corp. and BRSF Acquisition Corp., the Company assumed $155,530 of related party loans from entities related to the former executives and directors of the Company. When assumed, these loans did not bear interest and had a maturity date of December 31, 2021. On March 9, 2022, the loans were amended to provide for an interest rate of 9% per annum, and to extend the maturity dates to provide for payments of $53,000 with accrued interest on March 31, 2022 and June 1, 2022, and a payment of $49,000 plus accrued interest on August 1, 2022.

NOTE 14 – LEASES

The Company has two leases that are accounted for under ASC 842.

The Company entered into a lease agreement for office space located in Sarasota, Florida. The term of the lease is for a period of two years commencing on February 1, 2021 and ending on February 1, 2023. The rent is $6,530 per month for year 1, $6,726 per month for year 2 and $6,928 per month for year 3. The Company will account for the lease under ASC 842 whereby the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date.

The Company had a lease agreement with terms up to 2 years for the lease of office space. The assets and liabilities from operating leases were recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. This lease was settled on January 1, 2022, and the Company recorded a gain of $1,660 in respect of the early settlement.

Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company’s operating lease does not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate used at the date closest to lease inception.

The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 1.9 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 10.32%.

The Company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $21,497 and $0 which was included in “General and administrative expenses,” for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following table presents information about the amount and timing of liabilities arising from the Company’s operating lease as of March 31, 2022: 

At March 31, 2022, the operating lease right of use assets was $144,380. Supplemental balance sheet information related to the lease as of March 31, 2022 was:

These options were amended on December 10, 2021 and December 30, 2021 adjusting the exercise price to $0.21 and the vesting schedule to vest equally at the end of each quarter in 2022. The expense will be amortized over the amended vesting period and a total of $36,667 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

On December 10, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase an aggregate of 2,718,247 shares of common stock to the certain employees of the Company.

The options will expire on December 11, 2031. The aggregate fair value of $472,975 was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) expected life of 5 years, (ii) volatility of 116.90%, (iii) risk free rate of 1.26% (iv) dividend rate of zero, (v) stock price of $0.21, and (vi) exercise price of $0.21. These options were amended on December 30, 2021 adjusting the vesting schedule to vest equally at the end of each quarter in 2022. As the share price had increased on the amendment date, the amendment resulted in an increase to the aggregate fair value of $111,166. The increased fair value along with the unamortized portion of the original fair value will be amortized over the amended vesting schedule. A total of $26,574 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

On November 15, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase an aggregate of 1,448,276 shares of common stock to the directors of the Company.

The options will expire on December 11, 2031. The aggregate fair value of $341,793 was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) expected life of 5.04 years, (ii) volatility of 115.8%, (iii) risk free rate of 1.25% (iv) dividend rate of zero, (v) stock price of $0.29, and (vi) exercise price of $0.29.

Overview

The Company is a MedTech company with two cutting edge product lines: Neurology and Motion Products.  Since October 1, 2021, the Company has had two subsidiaries, each of which is focused on one of our complimentary Product lines. The Neurology Products of Memory MD are designed for neurology-focused medical devices. The Motion Products of Piezo are piezoelectric motors which are fast, precise, tiny and powerful.  The piezo motors are designed for and expected   to have valuable and beneficial uses as motors within medical devices and devices outside of the MedTech industry. We have developed twelve motor platforms and an ultra-precise micro dosing pump, each of which is presently available commercially. We are also currently developing additional motion products that leverage our patented intellectual property.  

We were initially organized on November 18, 2013 as a Nevada limited liability company under the name Global Energy Express LLC by the filing of articles of organization with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. On December 18, 2015, we converted from a Nevada limited liability company under the name Global Energy Express LLC to a Nevada corporation under the name All Soft Gels Inc. by the filing of articles of conversion and articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. On September 18, 2018, we changed our name from All Soft Gels Inc. to Brain Scientific Inc. and changed our ticker symbol on the OTC Pink market to “BRSF”. 

On September 21, 2018, we entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with MemoryMD, Inc. and AFGG Acquisition Corp. to acquire MemoryMD, Inc. (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 our common stock. Accordingly, we acquired 100% of Memory MD, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock and MemoryMD, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary. In conjunction with the Acquisition, we ceased all direct operations and assigned all of our assets and liabilities from prior to the Acquisition, and assumed and commenced the business of MemoryMD as the sole business of the Company. 

On June 11, 2021, we entered into another merger agreement (the “Piezo Merger Agreement”) with Piezo Motion Corp. and BRSF Acquisition Corp. to acquire Piezo. (the “Piezo Acquisition”). The transactions contemplated by the Piezo Merger Agreement were consummated on October 1, 2021.  Pursuant to the terms of the Piezo Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of Piezo were exchanged for shares of our common stock. Accordingly, we acquired 100% of Piezo in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock and Piezo became our wholly-owned subsidiary.   

The financial statements are represented based upon the Piezo financials up until the Piezo Acquisition. The combined company financials are provided inclusive of the BSI operations for the fourth quarter of 2021. The accounting is based upon reverse merger accounting due to the majority of outstanding shares after the Piezo Acquisition were with the Piezo shareholders.

The majority of revenue in 2021 is from 4^th quarter sales from our subsidiary which operates as a distributor of third-party medical devices in Russia (except for $38,309 from Piezo sales and $6,194 of sales from MemoryMD in the U.S.). Sales of $93,664 in 2020 were based upon sale of piezoelectric motors, including non-recurring engineering consulting and software licensing revenue. 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. The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 may have impact on our ability to continue the Russian operations. 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 limited resources. To date, our primary activities have been limited to, and our limited resources have been dedicated to, commercializing our piezoelectric motors, NeuroCap and NeuroEEG. performing business and financial planning, raising capital, recruiting personnel, and conducting development activities, although we have acted as a distributor of third-party medical devices in Russia (which has generated revenue for us in 2021. Both our Neurology Products and Motion Products are production ready for manufacture and sale. For all our Products we have commenced some non-recurring, initial sales.

Financial Overview

Revenue

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were generated primarily from the Russian subsidiary for distributing 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. Sales for piezoelectric motors decreased from 2021 as the Company focused on the final commercialization of the Blue Series of motors. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $1,475 related to the sales of evaluation kits. 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.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for administration, product management, for personnel in functions not directly associated with sales and marketing or research and development activities. Other significant costs include rent, travel, legal fees relating to corporate matters, intellectual property costs, professional fees for consultants assisting with regulatory, product development and financial matters, and product costs. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will be steady in the near to support our continued commercialization of our Products and maintaining the infrastructure for a public company.

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, 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 be maintained at the current level until we begin generating revenue from our existing Neurology and Motion Products. We anticipate it will then begin to increase as we exploit additional patents in our Motion Products and develop our Neurology Products, including conducting preclinical testing and clinical trials.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of costs and interest costs related to the convertible notes we issued in 2022 and 2021. The convertible notes bear interest at fixed rate of 10% per annum.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Revenues

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $159,588, compared to $1,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we generated our revenue primarily through our Russian subsidiary acquired in the merger, 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). Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $1,475 related to the sales of evaluation kits.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,185,457 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $55,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in payroll and related expenses, and amortization of intangible assets.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were $84,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $55,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in research and development expenses were primarily due to increased activities in our Ukranian office as well as payroll expenses.

Professional fees

Professional fees were $187,766 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $50,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal, accounting and consulting fees in the current quarter due to regulatory filings and requirements, and fund-raising activities. 

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $271,919, consisting of interest expense of $255,466 and amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts of approximately $16,453 related to the Company’s convertible and non-convertible promissory notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

While we have generated revenue in 2022 and 2021, we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, including after any consummation of the Merger with Piezo, which we can give no assurance of success. 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. We also expect to increase our expenses as a result of the Merger.

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, 2021 and 2020, 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 operations of the company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued convertible promissory notes in the amount of $1,150,000. 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.

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 $1,493,658 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $672,962 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This fluctuation is primarily due to an increase in net loss of $1,505,934 and a gain on lease settlement of $1,660, partially offset by increases in share based compensation expenses of $298,301, depreciation and amortization expenses of $195,350, amortization of debt discount of $16,454 and a decrease in cash used in working capital of $64,455.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $6,508 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $20,122 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,060,759 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which primarily consisted of the issuances of convertible promissory notes for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,150,000, offset by the partial repayments of non-convertible promissory notes and accrued interest in the amount of $89,241.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,319,982 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which consisted of proceeds from the issuances of convertible promissory notes.

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.

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:

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.

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

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than those disclosed below.

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements.

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, 2022. 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, 2022, 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.
