NOTE 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (the “Company” or “NeuroOne”), a Delaware corporation, is an early-stage medical technology company developing comprehensive neuromodulation electroencephalogram (cEEG) and stereoelectrocencephalography (sEEG) recording, monitoring, ablation, and brain stimulation solutions to diagnose and treat patients with epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders.

 

The Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its Evo cortical technology in November 2019, and in September 2021 received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Evo sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 24 hours) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain. To date, the Company has had limited commercial sales.

 

The Company is based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

 

Global Economic Conditions

 

The COVID-19 pandemic that began around December 2019 introduced significant volatility to the global economy, disrupted supply chains and had a widespread adverse effect on the financial markets. The development of the Company’s technology was delayed in the first quarter due to interruptions in global manufacturing and shipping as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company’s own staff has been impacted by infections and mandatory quarantines. Testing and clinical trials, manufacturing, component supply, shipping and research and development operations may be further impacted by the continuing effects of COVID-19.

 

The lingering impacts of COVID-19 throughout 2021 and into 2022 have impeded global supply chains and resulted in inflationary cost increases. These broad-based inflationary impacts have increased the manufacturing costs of our products and product candidates. We expect these inflationary impacts to continue for the foreseeable future,

 

In addition to the direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19, the United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. As a result of the conflict, the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other countries have levied economic sanctions and bans on Russia and Russia has responded with its own retaliatory measures. These measures have contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets, and could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies, and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity for the duration of fiscal year 2022 and beyond.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed financial statements may not include all disclosures required by GAAP; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2021 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2021 was derived from the audited financial statements of the Company.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On March 11, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a one-for-three reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (“common stock”) effective end-of-day March 31, 2021 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

All issued and outstanding common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise and/or vesting of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. A proportionate adjustment was also made to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Any fraction of a share of common stock that was created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was rounded up to the next whole share. The common stock par value and additional paid-in-capital line items contained in the financial statements were adjusted to account for the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. Lastly, the authorized shares and par value per share of the common stock and preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

NOTE 2 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, negative cash flows from operations, and had an accumulated deficit of $49.5 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company has not established a source of revenues to cover its full operating costs, and as such, has been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of debt and sale of equity securities. The Company does not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations without raising additional funds and such actions are not solely within the control of the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this condition. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, or the Company’s anticipated operating results are not achieved, management believes planned expenditures may need to be reduced in order to extend the time period that existing resources can fund the Company’s operations. The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its current cash on hand, from product and collaborations revenue and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. If management is unable to obtain the necessary capital, it may have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and the development of its technology, or the Company may have to cease operations altogether. 

 

NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Management’s Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, primarily in connection with the convertible promissory notes when outstanding, and disclosure 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company entered into a development and distribution agreement which has current and future revenue recognition implications. See “Note 7 – Zimmer Development Agreement”.

Product Revenue

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. At the inception of each contract, performance obligations are identified and the total transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations. The Company commenced commercial sales of cEEG strip/grid and electrode cable assembly products beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company sold, on a limited application basis for design verification, sEEG depth electrode products for non-human use beginning in late fiscal year 2021.

 

Cost of Product Revenue

 

Cost of product revenue consists of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by the Company’s third-party contract manufacturer in connection with cEEG strip/grid and sEEG depth electrode products, and outside supplier materials costs in connection with the electrode cable assembly products. In addition, cost of product revenue includes royalty fees incurred in connection with the Company’s license agreements.

 

Collaborations Revenue

 

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

  

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606. Performance obligations may include license rights, development services, and services associated with regulatory submission and approval processes. Significant management judgment is required to determine the level of effort required under an arrangement and the period over which the Company expects to complete its performance obligations under the arrangement. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate when its performance obligations are either completed or become inconsequential, then revenue recognition is deferred until the Company can reasonably make such estimates. Revenue is then recognized over the remaining estimated period of performance using the cumulative catch-up method.

 

As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price, which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. The Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or service underlying each performance obligation.

 

Licenses of intellectual property: If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer, and the customer can use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

 

Milestone payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the value of the associated milestone (such as a regulatory submission) is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company, such as approvals from regulators, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. When the Company’s assessment of probability of achievement changes and variable consideration becomes probable, any additional estimated consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or service underlying each performance obligation and recorded in license, collaboration, and other revenues based upon when the customer obtains control of each element.

Royalties: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (a) when the related sales occur, or (b) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s accounting for fair value measurements of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring or nonrecurring basis adheres to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the Company at the measurement date.

 

  Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

  Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the fair values of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. The fair value of the convertible notes while outstanding were based on both the fair value of our common stock, discount associated with the embedded redemption features, and cash flow models discounted at current implied market rates evidenced in recent arms-length transactions representing expected returns by market participants for similar instruments and are based on Level 3 inputs.

 

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The following table provides a roll-forward of the convertible notes at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable level 3 inputs for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. There were no convertible notes outstanding during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Intellectual Property

 

The Company has entered into two licensing agreements with major research institutions, which allow for access to certain patented technology and know-how. Payments under those agreements are capitalized and amortized to general and administrative expenses over the expected useful life of the acquired technology.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and reduced by accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life for equipment and furniture ranges from three to seven years and three years for software. Tangible assets acquired for research and development activities and that have alternative use are capitalized over the useful life of the acquired asset. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed, and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. Software purchased for internal use consists primarily of amounts paid for perpetual licenses to third-party software providers and installation costs. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred.

 

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company records a provision for doubtful accounts, when appropriate, based on historical experience and a detailed assessment of the collectability of its accounts receivable. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers, among other factors, the aging of the accounts receivable, its historical write-offs, the credit worthiness of each customer, and general economic conditions. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes that it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. Actual write-offs may be in excess of the Company’s estimated allowance.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out “FIFO” method) or net realizable value. The Company calculates inventory valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory, when appropriate, based on current inventory levels, movement, expected useful lives, and estimated future demand of the products and spare parts. The Company’s inventory is currently comprised of cEEG strip/grid, sEEG depth electrode and electrode cable assembly finished good products and related component parts. The strip/ grid and depth electrode products are produced by a third-party contract manufacturer and the electrode cable assembly products are obtained from outside suppliers.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, which consist of licensed intellectual property and property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether or not the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses may include costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and pre-clinical materials as well as other contracted services, license fees, and other external costs. Non-refundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received, rather than when payment is made, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 730, Research and Development.

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs including stock-based compensation 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, financial matters and sales and marketing in connection with the commercial sale of cEEG strip/grid, sEEG depth electrode and electrode cable assembly products.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the Company, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability 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 base and operating loss and tax credit 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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

For the Company, basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted earnings or loss per share of common stock is computed similarly to basic earnings or loss per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents, if dilutive. The Company’s warrants, stock options, and restricted stock units while outstanding are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. Diluted earnings is computed utilizing the treasury method for the warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. No incremental common stock equivalents were included in calculating diluted loss per share because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive given the net loss reported for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The following potential common shares were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

   2022   2021 
Warrants   6,753,444    7,503,808 
Stock options   1,245,582    1,162,838 
Restricted stock units   443,670    18,176 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) which amends the existing guidance relating to the accounting for income taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes and to improve the consistent application of GAAP for other areas of accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on October 1, 2021 and the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2020, FASB issued 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which, among other things, provides guidance on how to account for contracts on an entity’s own equity. This ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, this ASU modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. The amendments in this ASU are effective for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements.

 

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832) - Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of the types of assistance, an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a material impact to our financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

WARF License Agreement

 

The Company has entered into an exclusive start-up company license agreement with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) for WARF’s neural probe array and thin film micro electrode technology (the “WARF Agreement”). The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Exclusive Start-up Company License Agreement (the “WARF License”) with WARF on January 21, 2020, which amended and restated in full the prior license agreement between WARF and NeuroOne, LLC, a predecessor of the Company, dated October 1, 2014, as amended on February 22, 2017, March 30, 2019 and September 18, 2019.

 

The WARF License grants to the Company an exclusive license to make, use and sell, in the United States only, products that employ certain licensed patents for a neural probe array or thin-film micro electrode array and method. We have agreed to pay WARF a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage of our product sales pursuant to the WARF License, with a minimum annual royalty payment of $50,000 for 2020, $100,000 for 2021 and $150,000 for 2022 and each calendar year thereafter that the WARF License is in effect. If we or any of our sublicensees contest the validity of any licensed patent, the royalty rate will be doubled during the pendency of such contest and, if the contested patent is found to be valid and would be infringed by us if not for the WARF License, the royalty rate will be tripled for the remaining term of the WARF License.

 

WARF may terminate the WARF License on 30 days’ written notice if we default on the payments of amounts due to WARF or fail to timely submit development reports, actively pursue our development plan or breach any other covenant in the WARF License and fail to remedy such default in 90 days or in the event of certain bankruptcy events involving us. WARF may also terminate the WARF License (i) on 90 days’ notice if we had failed to have commercial sales of one or more FDA-approved products under the WARF License by June 30, 2021 or (ii) if, after royalties earned on sales begin to be paid, such earned royalties cease for more than four calendar quarters. The first commercial sale occurred on December 7, 2020, prior to the June 30, 2021 deadline. The WARF License otherwise expires by its terms on the date that no valid claims on the patents licensed thereunder remain. We expect the latest expiration of a licensed patent to occur in 2030. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, $37,500 and $25,000 in royalty fees were incurred related to the WARF License, respectively. During each of the nine month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, $100,000 in royalty fees were incurred related to the WARF License. The royalty fees were reflected as a component of cost of product revenue.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, $962 and $1,203 in royalty fees were incurred related to the Mayo Agreement, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, $2,798 and $3,894 in royalty fees were incurred related to the Mayo Agreement, respectively. The royalty fees were reflected as a component of cost of product revenue.

 

Legal 

 

PMT Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to litigation and claims in the ordinary course of business.

 

On March 29, 2018, the Company was served with a complaint filed by PMT Corporation (“PMT”), the former employer of Mark Christianson, a current Company employee, and Wade Fredrickson, a now former Company employee. The complaint added the Company, NeuroOne, Inc. and Mr. Christianson to its existing lawsuit against Mr. Fredrickson in the Fourth Judicial District Court of the State of Minnesota. In the lawsuit, PMT claims that Mr. Fredrickson and Mr. Christianson, by virtue of their work for the Company and their prior work during employment with PMT, breached their non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disclosure obligations, breached their fiduciary duty obligations, were unjustly enriched, engaged in unfair competition, engaged in a civil conspiracy, tortiously interfered with PMT’s contracts and prospective economic advantage, and breached a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The complaint purported to attach Mr. Fredrickson’s noncompete agreement as Exhibit A. Against Mr. Fredrickson, PMT also alleged that he intentionally or negligently spoliated evidence, made negligent or fraudulent misrepresentations, misappropriated trade secrets in violation of Minnesota law, and committed the tort of conversion and statutory civil theft. Against the Company and NeuroOne, Inc., PMT alleged that the Company and NeuroOne, Inc. were unjustly enriched and engaged in unfair competition. PMT asked the Court to impose a constructive trust over the shares held by Mr. Fredrickson and Mr. Christianson and to award compensatory damages, equitable relief, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest.

  

On April 18, 2018, Mr. Christianson, the Company and NeuroOne, Inc. filed a motion for dismissal, which was heard by the Court on October 11, 2018. The motion for dismissal stated that: the contract claims against Mr. Christianson fail because his agreement was not supported by consideration; the Minnesota Uniform Trade Secrets Act preempts plaintiff’s claims for unfair competition, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment; plaintiff fails to state a claim regarding alleged breach of the duties of loyalty and good faith/fair dealing; plaintiff cannot legally obtain a constructive trust; plaintiff has insufficiently pled its tortious interference claims; and Plaintiff has not stated a claim for unfair competition. On January 7, 2019, the judge granted the motion for dismissal with respect to PMT’s claim for breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing and denied the motion for dismissal with respect to the other claims presented.

 

In April 2019, PMT served the Company, NeuroOne, Inc. and Christianson with a proposed Second Amended Complaint, which included new claims against the Company and NeuroOne, Inc for tortious interference with contract and tortious interference with prospective business advantage and punitive damages against the Company, NeuroOne Inc. and Christianson. On June 28, 2019, the Company presented evidence indicating that PMT had participated in a fraud on the Court and sought an Order that PMT had waived the attorney client privilege.

On July 16, 2019, the defendants served PMT with a joint notice of motion for sanctions seeking a variety of sanctions for litigation misconduct including, but not limited to, dismissal of the case and an award of attorneys’ fees. The Company, NeuroOne Inc and Mr. Christianson further moved for summary judgment on all remaining claims asserted against them as well as for leave to assert counterclaims against PMT for abuse of process. Following hearings on the dispositive motions and defendants’ sanctions motion, the district court granted the Company’s motion for sanctions on April 29, 2020. Additionally, the district court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment in part with respect to the counts for Christianson’s breach of non-confidentiality agreement and denied the Company’s motion for summary judgment on all other counts.

   

On August 24, 2020, defendants moved the Court to amend their counterclaims for abuse of process against PMT to add a claim for punitive damages with respect to its conduct pertaining to the Fredrickson noncompete. On October 12, 2020 the Court awarded NeuroOne, Inc. $185,000 in Rule 11 sanctions and Fredrickson $145,000 in Rule 11 sanctions with respect to PMT’s misconduct relating to the Fredrickson noncompete. PMT and its former litigation counsel, Barnes & Thornburg, were jointly and severally liable for these awards, which were paid on December 11, 2020 and have been recognized in other income in the statements of operations. The Court granted NeuroOne, Inc.’s motion to amend to permit its assertion of the right to assert a punitive damages claim against PMT associated with fighting the allegations relating to the Fredrickson noncompete.

 

On May 27, 2021 PMT, moved for summary judgment on defendants’ claims for abuse of process and punitive damages, and on August 5, 2021, the district court granted PMT’s motion to dismiss the Company’s abuse of process and punitive damage claims.

 

On April 29, 2022, the district court issued an order ruling on several motions brought by the parties to exclude evidence from the trial, granting many of the Company’s requests to exclude certain evidence, and denying PMT’s exclusion requests.

 

On July 26, 2022, the Special Master appointed by the district court issued an order striking PMT’s attempt to supplement its trade secret claim by adding thirteen new trade secret claims which it never disclosed during discovery. The Special Master found that the attempt by PMT’s fourth set of lawyers to add claims on the eve of trial was both untimely and unfairly prejudicial to the Company. In addition, the Special Master found the alleged trade secrets were too vague and indefinite to constitute actionable trade secrets.

 

Trial was postponed from December 2021 to August 22, 2022. The Company intends to continue to defend itself vigorously. The outcome of any claim against the Company by PMT was not able to be estimated as of the issuance of these financial statements.

NOTE 7 – Zimmer Development Agreement

 

On July 20, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive development and distribution agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Zimmer Development Agreement”) with Zimmer, Inc. (“Zimmer”), pursuant to which the Company granted Zimmer exclusive global rights to distribute the Strip/Grid Products and electrode cable assembly products (the “Electrode Cable Assembly Products”). Additionally, the Company granted Zimmer the exclusive right and license to distribute certain depth electrodes developed by the Company (“SEEG Products”, and together with the Strip/Grid Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products, the “Products”).

NOTE 8 - Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrant Agreements

 

2019 Paulson Convertible Note Offering

 

On November 1, 2019, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement (the “2019 Paulson Private Placement”), agreed to issue and sell to the investors 13% convertible promissory notes (each, a “2019 Paulson Note” and collectively, the “2019 Paulson Notes”) and warrants (each, a “2019 Paulson Warrant” and collectively, the “2019 Paulson Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The initial closing of the 2019 Paulson Private Placement was consummated on November 1, 2019, and, on that date and through December 3, 2019, the Company issued the 2019 Paulson Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3,234,800 to the subscribers for gross proceeds equalling the principal amount. The 2019 Paulson Private Placement terminated on December 3, 2019.

 

On April 24, 2020, the Company and holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Paulson Notes entered into an amendment to the 2019 Paulson Notes (the “Second 2019 Paulson Notes Amendment”) to, among other things:

 

  i. Extended the Maturity DateThe Second 2019 Paulson Notes Amendment extended the maturity date of the 2019 Paulson Notes from May 1, 2020 to November 1, 2020 (in either case, unless a change of control transaction happens prior to such date);

 

  ii. Revised Optional Conversion TermsThe Second 2019 Paulson Notes Amendment provided that the amount of shares to be received upon the a subscriber’s optional conversion of the 2019 Paulson Notes prior to a 2019 Qualified Financing (as defined in the 2019 Paulson Notes) would have equalled: (1) the Outstanding Balance as defined below of such subscriber’s 2019 Paulson Note elected by the subscriber to be converted divided by (2) an amount equal to 0.6 multiplied by the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion; and

 

  iii. Revise the Registration Date – The Second 2019 Paulson Notes Amendment provided that promptly following the earlier of (1) May 1, 2020, if the applicable subscriber converted all or a majority of the Outstanding Balance of such subscriber’s 2019 Paulson Note prior to such date; (2) the final closing a 2019 Qualified Financing; and (3) the maturity date, the Company will enter into a registration rights agreement with the applicable subscriber containing customary and usual terms pursuant to which the Company shall agree to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on or prior to the 90th calendar day following the registration date, covering the resale of any common stock received on conversion of such 2019 Paulson Notes, and shares of common stock underlying the Warrants.

The 2019 Paulson Notes had a fixed interest rate of 13% per annum and required the Company to repay the principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon on November 1, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest on principal amounted to $5,701 during the nine month period ended June 30, 2021 and was recorded under the net valuation change of instruments measured at fair value in the condensed statements of operations. The 2019 Paulson Notes were not outstanding during the nine month period ended June 30, 2022.

 

The Company elected to account for the 2019 Paulson Notes on a fair value basis under ASC 825 to comprehensively value and streamline the accounting for the embedded conversion options. Subsequent to issuance, the fair value change of the Paulson Notes amounted to a benefit of $(1,974) during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and was recorded under the net valuation change of instruments measured at fair value in the condensed statements of operations.

 

Each 2019 Paulson Warrant grants the holder the option to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to (i) 0.5 multiplied by (ii) the principal amount of such subscriber’s 2019 Paulson Notes divided by 5.61, with an exercise price per share equal to $5.61. As of the final closing on December 3, 2019, the Company issued 2019 Paulson Warrants exercisable for 288,305 shares of common stock in connection with all closings of the 2019 Paulson Private Placement. The 2019 Paulson Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on November 1, 2022. The exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends or splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described therein. The 2019 Paulson warrants were deemed to be a free-standing instrument and were accounted for as equity. Given that the fair value of the 2019 Paulson Notes exceeded the proceeds received at issuance, there was no value attributed to the 2019 Paulson Warrants in the condensed financial statements.

 

Issuance costs during the nine month period ended June 30, 2021 in connection with the 2019 Paulson Private Placement were $3,053 and related to legal costs. The issuance costs were recorded as a component of interest in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the remaining holders of the 2019 Paulson Notes elected to convert the remaining outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $615,159 into 292,754 shares of common stock.

The Inducement Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors without stockholder approval in accordance with such rule.

 

2017 Plan Evergreen Provision

 

Under the 2017 Plan, the shares reserved automatically increase on January 1st of each year, for a period of not more than ten years from the date the 2017 Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, commencing on January 1, 2019 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2027, to an amount equal to 13% of the fully-diluted shares outstanding as of December 31st of the preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that there will be no January 1st increase in the share reserve for such year or that the increase in the share reserve for such year will be a lesser number of shares of common stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. “Fully Diluted Shares” as of a date means an amount equal to the number of shares of common stock (i) outstanding and (ii) issuable upon exercise, conversion or settlement of outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan and any other outstanding options, warrants or other securities of the Company that are (directly or indirectly) convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of common stock, in each case as of the close of business of the Company on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. Effective January 1, 2022, 1,614,538 shares were added to the 2017 Plan as a result of the evergreen provision.

No shares were available for future issuance under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Unrecognized stock-based compensation was $1,927,956 as of June 30, 2022. The unrecognized share-based expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

 

NOTE 10 – Concentrations

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company’s cash is held by a network of financial institutions in the United States. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits since inception, and management believes that minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.

Revenue

 

One customer accounts for all of the Company’s product and collaborations revenue.

 

Supplier concentration

 

One contract manufacturer produces all of the Company’s Strip/Grid Products and SEEG Products.

 

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was zero percent. As a result of the analysis of all available evidence as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Consequently, the Company reported no income tax benefit during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. If the Company’s assumptions change and the Company believes that it will be able to realize these deferred tax assets, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be recognized as a reduction of future income tax expense.  If the assumptions do not change, each period the Company could record an additional valuation allowance on any increases in the deferred tax assets.

  

NOTE 12 – Stockholders’ Equity

Overview

 

We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of thin film electrode technology for cEEG and sEEG recording, spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation and ablation solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders. Additionally, we are investigating the potential applications of our technology associated with artificial intelligence.

 

We are developing our cortical, sheet and depth electrode technology to provide solutions for diagnosis through cEEG recording and sEEG recording and treatment through brain stimulation and ablation, all in one product. A cEEG is a continuous recording of the electrical activity of the brain that identifies the location of irregular brain activity, which information is required for proper treatment. cEEG recording involves an invasive surgical procedure, referred to as a craniotomy. sEEG involves a less invasive procedure whereby doctors place electrodes in targeted brain areas by drilling small holes through the skull. Both methods of seizure diagnosis are used to identify areas of the brain where epileptic seizures originate in order to precisely locate the seizure source for therapeutic treatment if possible.

 

Deep brain stimulation, or DBS, therapies involve activating or inhibiting the brain with electricity that can be given directly by electrodes on the surface or implanted deeper in the brain via depth electrodes. Introduced in 1987, this procedure involves implanting a power source referred to as a neurostimulator, which sends electrical impulses through implanted depth electrodes, to specific targets in the brain for the treatment of disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremors, dystonia, and chronic pain. The effects of DBS as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s is also being evaluated by researchers. Unlike ablative technologies, the effects of DBS are reversible.

RF ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency under the electrode contacts which is directed to the site of the brain tissue that is targeted for removal. The process involves delivering energy to the contacts, thereby heating them and destroying the brain tissue. The ablation does not remove the tissue. Rather, it is left in place and typically scar tissue forms in the place where the ablation occurs. This procedure is also known as brain lesioning as it causes irreversible lesions.

 

We received 510(k) FDA clearance for our Evo cortical technology in November 2019, and in September 2021 we received FDA clearance to market our Evo sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 24 hours) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain.

 

In November 2021, the Company submitted a request to the FDA seeking a 510(k) clearance for use of its Evo sEEG electrode technology for less than 30 days. On March 11, 2022, the Company received a letter via email from the FDA that the FDA had denied the Company’s 510(k) application based on a finding of non-substantial equivalence based on their analysis of the methodology used for exhaustive extraction testing. The FDA letter stated the Company has not demonstrated that the sEEG Electrode for less than 30-day use is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (sEEG Electrode for less than 24 hours K211367). The FDA also stated that the Company may re-submit a new 510(k) if it has biocompatibility data it believes can show its device to be substantially equivalent.

 

The Company filed an appeal of this decision to a higher level within the FDA, which placed the submission on hold until a decision was made. In a letter to the Company dated May 13, 2022, the FDA stated that they were upholding their decision that the device is not substantially equivalent for extended use based on their analysis of the methodology used for exhaustive extraction testing.

 

The FDA also stated that the Company may submit a new 510(k) with new evidence, specifically as it relates to the subacute toxicity endpoint, to support a finding of substantial equivalence. The Company is in the process of collecting such data and intends to submit a Special 510(k) which according to FDA guidance is processed within 30 days of receipt, rather than the 90 days for a traditional 510(k). The Company expects to resubmit the application to the FDA in August 2022.

 

The Company has stated previously that it expected to be commercial ready with the Evo sEEG electrode in the first calendar quarter of 2022 pending FDA clearance. The Company now expects that additional time will be required and will continue to work with the FDA in pursuit of 510(k) clearance.

 

The Company commenced commercial sales of cEEG strip/grid and electrode cable assembly products beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company sold, on a limited application basis for design verification, sEEG depth electrode products for non-human use beginning in late fiscal year 2021. Our other products are still under development.

 

Prior to FDA approval or clearance of certain of our products, our primary activities were limited to, and our limited resources were dedicated to, performing business and financial planning, raising capital, recruiting personnel, negotiating with business partners and the licensors of our intellectual property and conducting research and development activities.

 

We have incurred losses since inception. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $49.5 million, primarily as a result of expenses incurred in connection with our research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses associated with our operations and interest expense, fair value adjustments and loss on extinguishments related to our debt, offset in part by collaborations and product revenues.

 

Prior to FDA approval of certain of our products, our main source of cash was proceeds from the issuances of notes, common stock, warrants and unsecured loans. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources” below. While we have begun to generate revenue from the sale of products based on our cEEG and sEEG technology and through milestone payments from our current collaboration with Zimmer, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future until and unless we generate a higher level of revenue from commercial sales, and we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations through public or private equity or debt financings, through collaborations or partnerships with other companies or other sources.

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 cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology and future products and our ability to pursue our business strategy. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Outlook” below

 

Recent Developments and Upcoming Milestones

 

Corporate Updates

 

In November 2021, we submitted a request to the FDA seeking a 510(k) clearance for use of our Evo sEEG electrode technology for less than 30 days. On March 11, 2022, the FDA denied the Company’s 510(k) application based on a finding of non-substantial equivalence based on their analysis of the methodology used for exhaustive extraction testing.

 

We filed an appeal of this decision to a higher level within the FDA, which placed the submission on hold until a decision was made. On May 13, 2022, the FDA stated that they were upholding their decision that the device is not substantially equivalent for extended use based on their analysis of the methodology used for exhaustive extraction testing. We intend to submit a Special 510(k) which according to FDA guidance is processed within 30 days of receipt, rather than the 90 days for a traditional 510(k). We expect to resubmit the application to the FDA in August 2022.

 

We had stated previously that we expected to be commercial ready with the Evo sEEG electrode in the first calendar quarter of 2022 pending FDA clearance. We now expect that additional time will be required and will continue to work with the FDA in pursuit of 510(k) clearance.

 

We completed feasibility bench top testing with a new design of our diagnostic and ablation depth electrode in the first calendar quarter of 2021, and signed a contract with RBC Medical Innovations to develop and manufacture hardware (a radio frequency generator) for the system in the third calendar quarter of 2021. We are targeting the third calendar quarter of 2022 for completion of a prototype of hardware, with the submission of an application for FDA clearance in early calendar 2023. We also completed an animal feasibility study at Emory University in September 2021 and additional animal studies are planned. During the fiscal quarter, we also announced that we have surpassed five years of accelerated aging testing for our recording electrodes.

 

We continue to develop our Chronic Use electrodes and remain focused on developing a system for the treatment of chronic back pain due to failed back surgeries that provides the capabilities of recording and stimulation in a thin film electrode technology. We recently established a physician advisory board comprised of leading anesthesiologists and neurosurgeons that have extensive experience with implanting these systems. In our fiscal fourth quarter, we will convene the group to begin to develop the framework of a desired feature set customized to the advantages of our electrode technology.

 

Global Economic Conditions

 

The COVID-19 pandemic that began around December 2019 introduced significant volatility to the global economy, disrupted supply chains and had a widespread adverse effect on the financial markets. The development of our technology was delayed in the first quarter due to interruptions in global manufacturing and shipping as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, our own staff has been impacted by infections and mandatory quarantines. Testing and clinical trials, manufacturing, component supply, shipping and research and development operations may be further impacted by the continuing effects of COVID-19.

 

The lingering impacts of COVID-19 throughout 2021 and into 2022 have impeded global supply chains and resulted in inflationary cost increases. These broad-based inflationary impacts have increased the manufacturing costs of our products and product candidates. We expect these inflationary impacts to continue for the foreseeable future,

 

In addition to the direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19, the United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. As a result of the conflict, the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other countries have levied economic sanctions and bans on Russia and Russia has responded with its own retaliatory measures. These measures have contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets, and could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies, and may have a material adverse effect on our results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity for the duration of fiscal year 2022 and beyond.

Financial Overview

 

Product Revenue

 

Our product revenue was derived from the sale of strip/grid, depth electrode and electrode cable assembly products based on Evo cortical and sEEG technology. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will generate additional revenue from the sale of products based on Evo cortical and sEEG technology.

  

We have received FDA 510(k) clearance for our cortical strip electrode, but we do not expect to generate any significant revenue from the sale of our other products until we develop and obtain all required regulatory approvals or clearances for and commercialize depth electrode technology for human use. If we fail to complete the development of the depth electrode technology, or any other product candidate we may pursue in the future, in a timely manner, or fail to obtain regulatory approval, we may never be able to generate revenue from product sales sufficient to sustain operations.

 

Product Gross Profit (Loss)

 

Product gross profit (loss) represents our product revenue less our cost of product revenue. Our cost of product revenue consists of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by our third-party contract manufacturer in connection with our strip/grid and depth electrode products and outside supplier materials costs in connection with the electrode cable assembly products. In addition, cost of product revenue includes royalty fees incurred in connection with our license agreements.

 

Collaborations Revenue

 

Collaborations revenue was derived from the upfront initial exclusivity fee payment under the Zimmer Development Agreement. We anticipate that we may earn additional revenues stemming from additional milestone and royalty payments from Zimmer, however, the achievement and timing of future milestones or level of sales required to earn royalty payments from Zimmer is uncertain. For a discussion of milestones and royalty payments under the Zimmer Development Agreement, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Outlook” below and see “Note 7 — Zimmer Development Agreement” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs including stock-based compensation 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 financial and administrative matters, and sales and marketing in connection with the commercial sale of cEEG strip/grid, sEEG depth electrode and electrode cable assembly products. We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will significantly increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities, further commercialization of our cortical strip technology, potential further commercialization of our grid electrode and depth electrode technology, 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 cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology. Research and development expenses include compensation and benefits for research and development employees including stock-based compensation, 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. Lastly, de minimis income from the sale of prototype products and related materials are offset against research and development expenses.

 

28

 

 

NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation

Form 10-Q

 

We expect our research and development expenses to significantly increase over the next several years as we develop our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology and conduct preclinical testing and clinical trials and will depend on the duration, costs and timing to complete our preclinical programs and clinical trials.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense consists of interest costs related to our convertible notes issued in 2019 (the “2019 Paulson Notes”) outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

 

Net valuation change of instruments measured at fair value

 

The net valuation change of instruments measured at fair value included the change in fair value of the 2019 Paulson Notes while they were outstanding.

 

Other Income

 

Other income primarily consists of interest income related to our cash deposits and proceeds outside of normal operating activity relating to legal settlements and sales of non-commercial supplies.

Other income during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 consisted principally of proceeds received in connection with the PMT Corporation litigation in the amount of $0.2 million and the forgiveness of the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan in the amount of $0.1 million. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of June 30, 2022, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash deposits of $10.2 million. While we began to generate revenue in fiscal year 2021 from commercial sales and through milestone payments under our collaboration with Zimmer, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future until and unless we generate an adequate level of revenue from commercial sales to cover expenses. Our most significant cash requirements relate to the funding of our ongoing product development and commercialization operations and our royalty obligations under our intellectual property licenses with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”).  Our additional material cash needs include commitments under operating leases and other administrative services. See “—Funding Requirements” below for more information. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we develop and commercialize our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology and pursue pre-clinical and clinical trials, seek regulatory approvals, manufacture products, establish our own sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our ablation electrode technology, hire additional staff, add operational, financial and management systems and continue to operate as a public company.

On October 13, 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement relating to the issuance and sale of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $3.20 per share (the “October 2021 Underwritten Public Offering”). In addition, under the terms of the underwriting agreement, we granted the underwriter an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 562,500 shares of common stock on the same terms. The base offering closed on October 15, 2021, and the sale of 422,057 shares of common stock subject to the underwriter’s overallotment option closed on November 15, 2021. The gross proceeds from this offering were approximately $13.4 million prior to deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses payable by us.

On January 12, 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement (the “2021 Private Placement”), agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 4,166,682 shares of the common stock of the Company, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,166,682 shares of common stock (the “2021 Warrants”) at an aggregate purchase price of $3.00 per share of common stock and corresponding warrant, resulting in total gross proceeds of $12.5 million before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses. The 2021 Warrants have an initial exercise price of $5.25 per share. The 2021 Warrants became immediately exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of such date. Prior to expiration, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2021 Warrants, the holders of such 2021 Warrants may exercise the 2021 Warrants for shares of common stock by providing notice to the Company and paying the exercise price per share for each share so exercised or by utilizing the “cashless exercise” feature contained in each 2021 Warrant. The 2021 Private Placement closed on January 14, 2021. 

 

In connection with the 2021 Private Placement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares, the 2021 Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2021 Warrants. The Company agreed to file such registration statement within 30 days of the execution of the 2021 Purchase Agreement on January 12, 2021 and filed such registration statement on February 10, 2021.

 

Funding Requirements

 

As noted above, certain of our cash requirements relate to the funding of our ongoing product development and commercialization operations and our milestone and royalty obligations under our intellectual property licenses with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”).  See “Item 1—Business—Clinical Development and Regulatory Pathway—Clinical Experience, Future Development and Clinical Trial Plans” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021 for a discussion of design, development, pre-clinical and clinical activities that we may conduct in the future, including expected cash expenditures required for some of those activities, to the extent we are able to estimate such costs.

  

On January 22, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “WARF License”) with WARF, which amended and restated in full our prior license agreement with WARF, dated October 1, 2014 (the “Original WARF License”). Under the WARF License, we have agreed to pay WARF a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage of our product sales pursuant to the WARF License, with a minimum annual royalty payment of $50,000 for 2020, $100,000 for 2021 and $150,000 for 2022 and each calendar year thereafter that the WARF License is in effect. If we or any of our sublicensees contest the validity of any licensed patent, the royalty rate will be doubled during the pendency of such contest and, if the contested patent is found to be valid and would be infringed by us if not for the WARF License, the royalty rate will be tripled for the remaining term of the WARF License.

Under the Amended and Restated License and Development Agreement with Mayo (the “Mayo Development Agreement”), we have agreed to pay Mayo a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage of our product sales pursuant to the Mayo Development Agreement. See “Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report for more information about the WARF License and the Mayo Development Agreement.

 

Our other cash requirements within the next twelve months include accounts payable, accrued expenses, purchase commitments and other current liabilities. Our other cash requirements greater than twelve months from various contractual obligations and commitments include operating leases and contracted services. Refer to “Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report for further detail of our lease obligations and the timing of expected future payments. Contracted services include agreements with third-party service providers for clinical research, product development, manufacturing, supplies, payroll services, equipment maintenance services, and audits for periods up to fiscal 2023.

 

We expect to satisfy our short-term and long-term obligations through cash on hand and, until we generate an adequate level of revenue from commercial sales to cover expenses, if ever, from future equity and debt financings.

 

Liquidity Outlook

 

For a discussion of potential fee payments under the Zimmer Development Agreement, see “Note 7 — Zimmer Development Agreement” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report. The Company does not intend to deliver saleable product to Zimmer unless and until it receives regulatory clearance to expand the use of its Evo sEEG Electrode technology for up to 30 days, at which point the Company and Zimmer intend to commence negotiations regarding payments of applicable milestone payments described therein, notwithstanding the deadlines for the Product Availability Date and the Acceptance of all Deliverables for SEEG Products. Zimmer has exclusive global rights to distribute our strip and grid cortical electrodes, depth electrodes and electrode cable assembly products. Zimmer’s failure to timely develop or commercialize these products would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, our inability to agree with Zimmer on dates of completion for product development, regulatory clearance and commercialization milestones on which various fee payments to the Company are based under the Zimmer Development Agreement could have a material adverse impact on our financial and operating results.

 

At June 30, 2022, we had approximately $10.2 million in cash deposits. Management has noted the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm and our former independent registered public accounting firm included explanatory paragraphs in the reports on our financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, noting the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our existing cash may not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses through at least twelve months from the date of this filing. To continue to fund operations, we will need to secure additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings, through collaborations or partnerships with other companies or other sources. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any failure to raise capital when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan. If we are unable to raise additional funds, or if our anticipated operating results are not achieved, we believe planned expenditures may need to be reduced in order to extend the time period that existing resources can fund our operations. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital, it may have a material adverse effect on our operations and the development of our technology, or we may have to cease operations altogether.

 

The development and commercialization of our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology is subject to numerous uncertainties, and we 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 further regulatory approvals and 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.

Cash Flows

 

The following is a summary of cash flows for each of the periods set forth below.

 

   For the
Nine Months Ended
 
   June 30, 
   2022   2021 
Net cash used in operating activities  $(8,537,351)  $(6,573,520)
Net cash used in investing activities   (209,044)   (31,970)
Net cash provided by financing activities   12,023,282    11,559,834 
Net increase in cash  $3,276,887   $4,954,344 

 

Net cash used in operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $8.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, which consisted of a net loss of $8.6 million partially offset principally by non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization related to intangible assets, operating lease expense, totaling approximately $0.9 million in the aggregate. The net change in our net operating assets and liabilities associated with fluctuations in our operating activities resulted in a cash use of approximately $0.8 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and to an increase in inventory and prepaid expenses attributed to both the timing of payments and the timing of product sales. 

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, which consisted of a net loss of $7.3 million partially offset principally by non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization related to intangible assets, revaluation of convertible notes, operating lease expense and the forgiveness of the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan, totaling approximately $1.5 million in the aggregate. The net change in our net operating assets and liabilities associated with fluctuations in our operating activities resulted in a cash use of $0.7 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses attributed to the timing of payments coupled to a lesser extent with an increase in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid and other assets.

 

Net cash used in investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million and $32,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and consisted of outlays for purchases of property and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, which consisted of net proceeds from the October 2021 Underwritten Public Offering.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, which consisted primarily of net proceeds received from the 2021 Private Placement in the amount of $11.3 million. There were also exercises of stock options and warrants during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 resulting in additional cash proceeds of $0.3 million, offset in part by deferred offering costs of $24,000.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that we make these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described in Note 3 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.

Of these policies, the following are considered critical to an understanding of our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report as they require the application of the most subjective and the most complex judgments:  

 

Revenues:

 

For discussion about the determination of collaborations revenue, product revenue and cost of product revenue, see “Note 7 — Zimmer Development Agreement” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report. To date, we have not had, nor expect to have in the future, significant variable consideration adjustments related to product revenue, such as chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

For discussions about the application of grant date fair value associated with our stock-based compensation, see “Note 9 — Stock-Based Compensation” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.

 

Income Tax Assets and Liabilities

 

Income tax assets and liabilities include income tax valuation allowances. For additional information, see “Note 11 — Income Taxes” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report and “Note 11 – Income Taxes” in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021.

 

Contingencies

 

We are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, including legal contingencies. For additional information, see “Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Refer to Note 3 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

  

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and 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 disclosure.

 

36

 

 

NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation

Form 10-Q

 

We designed and evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures recognizing that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d- 15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The material legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 4, “Commitments and Contingencies – Legal” of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth elsewhere in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Those factors, if they were to occur, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements in this report, and materially adversely affect our financial condition or future results. Although we are not aware of any other factors that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business, financial conditions and/or operating results.
