Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and organization

BioSig Technologies, Inc. was initially incorporated on February 24, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada and subsequently re-incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2011. The Company is principally devoted to improving the standard care in electrophysiology with our PURE EP’s enhanced signal acquisition, digital signal processing, and analysis during ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. The Company has generated minimal revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in business enterprises in early commercialization stage.

On November 7, 2018, the Company formed a subsidiary under the laws of the State of Delaware originally under the name of NeuroClear Technologies, Inc. which was renamed to ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ViralClear”) in March 2020. The subsidiary was established to pursue additional applications of PURE EP™ signal processing technology outside of cardiac electrophysiology, and subsequently in 2020, was repurposed to develop merimepodib, a broad-spectrum anti-viral agent that showed potential for the treatment of COVID-19. Since late 2020, ViralClear has been realigned with its original objective of pursuing additional applications of PURE EP™ signal processing technology outside of cardiac electrophysiology.

In 2019 and 2020, ViralClear sold an aggregate of 1,965,240 shares of its common stock to investors for net proceeds of $15.6 million and issued an aggregate of 894,869 shares of its common stock in connection with acquiring assets and with know-how agreements. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had a majority interest in ViralClear of 69.08%.

On July 2, 2020, the Company formed an additional subsidiary, NeuroClear Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was renamed to BioSig AI Sciences, Inc. (“BioSig AI”) on May 31, 2023. The subsidiary was established to pursue clinical needs of cardiac and neurological disorders through recordings and analyses of action potentials. BioSig AI aims to contribute to the advancements of AI-based diagnoses and therapies. In June and July 2023, BioSig AI sold an aggregate of 2,205,000 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $1,971,277 to fund initial operations. At December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had a majority interest in BioSig AI of 84.5% (see Notes 9 and 11).

The Company continues to evaluate opportunities for the two subsidiaries.

On January 28, 2024 and February 20, 2024, management of the Company commenced a workforce reduction intended to reduce significantly the annual cash burn which was completed as of February 20, 2024. The workforce reduction consisted of the departure of sixteen employees, effective as of January 31, 2024 and included the departure of John Sieckhaus, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Gray Fleming, the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer and twenty-six employees effective February 20, 2024. The effect of the workforce reductions has significantly reduced operations in the short term. In connection with workforce reduction, the Company issued an aggregate of 85,244 shares of common stock with a fair value of $72,065 as severance.

On March 5, 2024, Nasdaq (the “Staff”) notified the Company that it failed to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share and did not qualify for an additional compliance period due to insufficient stockholders’ equity. Nasdaq indicated it would delist the Company’s common stock unless appealed. The Company requested an appeal hearing on March 11, 2024. On March 12, 2024, Nasdaq further stated the Company appeared to be a “public shell” without an operating business, citing workforce reductions and board resignations, and noted it also no longer met the required $35 million minimum Market Value of Listed Securities. These issues formed additional grounds for delisting. The Company appealed these determinations, and the hearing took place on May 7, 2024.

On June 10, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq due to the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. As a result, trading in the Company’s common stock will be suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. The Company’s common stock should be eligible to trade on the OTC Markets’ Pink Current Information tier under symbol “BSGM” effective with the open of trading on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. The Company sought the Panel’s reconsideration of its decision in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

On June 24, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had declined to reconsider its decision dated June 10, 2024 to delist the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq (the “Delisting Decision”). Trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on June 12, 2024, at which point the Company’s common stock was eligible to trade on the OTC Market’s Pink Current Information tier.

On July 10, 2024, the Company filed a submission in support of an appeal to the Delisting Decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council.

On October 18, 2024, the Company received a decision from the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council granting the Company a grace period until March 7, 2025 to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”), which requires a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million.

On October 21, 2024, the Company was notified that its common stock will commence trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, effective at the opening of trading.

On October 24, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock from the period of June 11, 2024 through the reinstatement date, October 23, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules (“Rules”) and as a result, the Company no longer meets this requirement. However, the Rules also provides the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.

On November 13, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing its Nasdaq bid price compliance.

On March 6, 2025, the Company submitted supporting documents to the Listing Council evidencing compliance with the Equity Rule. And on March 24, 2025, the Company was notified by the Office of General Counsel of Nasdaq that the Company had successfully met the qualifications to regain full compliance for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On April 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between February 27, 2025, through April 10, 2025, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 8, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.

NOTE 2–GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $0.14 million and working capital deficit of $1.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $4.8 million. These balances create a liquidity concern, which in turn raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from sale of common and preferred stock. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. See Note 16 – Subsequent event from cash proceeds from sales of common stock after December 31, 2024.

The Company’s plans include the continued research and development of our PURE EP and other applications of our core technology and raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. The Company’s strategic shift to potentially hiring a team of an additional 4-6 persons to execute a business development strategy of finding partners for the commercialization of PURE EP, develop new products in the field of Pulse Field Ablation and to continue to integrate PURE EP into today’s lab equipment will allow the Company to significantly reduce operating expenses from years prior.

The Company will require additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing research and development will be successfully completed or that any additional products will be commercially viable.

Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

Reverse Stock Split

On January 31, 2024, the Company filed a Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective February 2, 2024. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company accounted for the reverse stock split on a retrospective basis pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. All authorized, issued and outstanding common stock, common stock warrants, stock option awards, exercise prices and per share data have been adjusted in these consolidated financial statements, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. Authorized common and preferred stock was not adjusted because of the reverse stock split.

Principals of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BioSig Technologies, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary, ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and wholly owned subsidiary, BioSig AI Sciences, Inc. herein collectively referred to as the “Company” or “BioSig”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derived its revenue primarily from the sale of its medical device, PURE EP, and well as related support and maintenance services and software upgrades in connection with the system.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842,Leases(“ASC 842”) for lease components and ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for non-lease components. For medical device sales, the Company recognize revenue under ASC 606.

The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Under ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

●Identify the contract with the customer;
●Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
●Determine the transaction price;
●Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and
●Recognize revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

Performance obligations are the units of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer. If the Company determines that it has not satisfied a performance obligation, it will defer recognition of the revenue until the performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied. Once PURE EP is delivered, installed, and accepted by the customer, our performance obligation is recognized. Support, maintenance, and software upgrades are performance obligations over a defined period and are recognized ratably over the contractual service period. Customers typically purchase these services with the initial sale of PURE EP and do not have the right to terminate their contracts unless we fail to perform material obligations.

The Company may execute more than one contract with a single customer. If so, it is evaluated whether the agreements were negotiated as a package with a single objective, whether the amount of consideration to be paid in one agreement depends on the price and/or performance of another agreement, or whether the goods or services promised in the agreements represent a single performance obligation. The conclusions reached can impact the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation and the timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements.

The Company records accounts receivable for amounts invoiced to customers for which the Company has an unconditional right to consideration as provided under the contractual arrangement. Unbilled receivables, if any, include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Deferred revenue includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Our unbilled receivables and deferred revenue are reported on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Unbilled receivables are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to bill the customer. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue.

The Company’s unconditional right to consideration for goods and services transferred to the customer is included in accounts receivable, net (if any) in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

In 2022, the Company entered two leases for our PURE EP at a rate of $4,333 per month each. The term of the leases is for 30 months with an option provided to extend for an additionalone year. The leases also have an option to purchase at the end of the lease at the fair market value. The Company accounts for the leases in accordance with ASC 842 and ASC 606.

The Company determined the leases meet the criteria of a sales-type lease whereby the present value of the future expected revenue (less the present value of the estimated unguaranteed residual value), cost of sales and profit and loss are recognized at the lease inception. Non-lease components are recognized under ASC 606. The discount rate utilized was the contract explicit rate of 2% per annum. (See Note 6 – Lease Receivables).

A reconciliation of contract liabilities with customers for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, are presented below:

Year ended December 31, 2024:

Balance at December 31, 2023 (000’s) · Consideration Received (000’s) · Recognized in Revenue (000’s) · Balance at December 31, 2024 (000’s)
Service revenue$-$40$(40)$-

Year ended December 31, 2023:

Balance at December 31, 2022 (000’s) · Consideration Received (000’s) · Recognized in Revenue (000’s) · Balance at December 31, 2023 (000’s)
Service revenue$5$13$(18)$-

The Company had one customer which accounted for 97.5% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024 and three customers which accounted for approximately 48.1%,29.7% and 22.2% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company had three customers which accounted for approximately 43.6%,39.9% and 11.9% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 and three customers which accounted for approximately 62.3%,19.6% and 18.0% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2023.

The Company utilized one contract manufacturer for the manufacture and supply of PURE EP for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

Deferred Costs (Contract acquisition costs)

The Company capitalizes initial and renewal sales commissions in the period the commission is earned, which generally occurs when a customer contract is obtained, and amortize deferred commission costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have deemed to be the contract term. As a practical expedient, the Company expenses sales commissions as incurred when the amortization period of related deferred commission costs would have been one year or less.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company adjusts accounts receivable down to net realizable value with its allowance methodology. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses, aged receivables are analyzed periodically by management. Each identified receivable is reviewed based upon historical collection experience, financial condition of the customer and the status of any open or unresolved issues with the customer preventing the payment thereof. Corrective action, if necessary, is taken by the Company to resolve open issues related to unpaid receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 at December 31, 2024, and 2023. The Company believes that its reserve is adequate, however results may differ in future periods. For the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, bad debt expense totaled $0.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. At December 31, 2024, and 2023, deposits in excess of FDIC limits werenil.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

Prepaid Expenses and Vendor Deposits

Prepaid expenses and vendor deposits are comprised of prepaid insurance, operating expenses and other prepayments.

Leases (lessee)

The Company determines if a contractual arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluates and classifies leases as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which result in an economic penalty. All the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

The lease payments included in the present value are fixed lease payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company applies the portfolio approach in applying discount rates to its classes of leases. The operating lease ROU assets include any payments made before the commencement date. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not currently have subleases. The Company does not currently have residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in its leases.

Leases (lessor)

The Company classifies contractual lease arrangements entered as a lessor as a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease as described in ASC 842-Leases. For sales-type leases, the Company derecognizes the leased asset and recognizes the lease investment on the balance sheet.

Other Assets:

Other assets are comprised of the following:

December 31, 2024 (000’s)December 31, 2023 (000’s)
Security deposits4343
Trademarks11
Total other assets$44$44

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company recognizes an impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, other than goodwill, when events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their remaining lives are less than the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value, which is typically calculated using the discounted cash flow method.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company re-assessed its carrying amounts of certain property and equipment due to reduced manufacturing of its commercial products and determined that these carrying amounts exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $253 impairment charge to current operations during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company did not recognize and record any impairments of long-lived assets used in operations during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Research and Development Costs

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $0.8 million and $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Net Income (loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:

December 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Series C convertible preferred stock413,78165,711
Options to purchase common stock2,515,200603,229
Warrants to purchase common stock4,899,7162,748,371
Restricted stock units to acquire common stock1,385,839163,250
Totals9,214,5363,580,561

Stock Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award as measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.

Patents, Net

The Company capitalizes certain initial asset costs in connection with patent applications including registration, documentation and other professional fees associated with the application. Patent costs incurred prior to the Company’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) 510(k) application on March 28, 2018 were charged to research and development expense as incurred. Commencing upon first in-man trials on February 18 and 19, 2019, capitalized costs are amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the lesser of the legal patent term or the estimated life of the product of 20 years. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded amortization of $19,006 and $19,106, respectively.

Warranty

The Company generally warrants its products to be free from material defects and to conform to material specifications for a period of up to two (2) years. Warranty expense is estimated based primarily on historical experience and is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Segment Information

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and relied upon when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the CODM reviews total revenues, total expenses, and expenses by functional classification; using this information to make decisions on a company-wide basis. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. (See Note 13 – Segment Reporting).

Non-controlling Interest

The Company’s non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling shareholders’ ownership interests related to the Company’s subsidiaries, ViralClear and BioSig AI. The Company reports its non-controlling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and reports both net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest and net loss attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s equity interest in ViralClear and BioSig AI is 69.08% and 84.48%; and the non-controlling stockholders’ interest is 30.92% and 15.52%, respectively as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. This is reflected in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Warrants

The Company accounts for stock warrants as either equity instruments, derivative liabilities, or liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,*which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through incremental disclosures of segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and interim periods thereafter with and it has been applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 – Segment Reporting.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement and disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The claimant sought compensation in the amount of $775,782. After an investigation conducted by the Board and guidance of legal counsel, it was concluded that the claim was without merit.

On February 22, 2024, the Company received a threat of litigation seeking restitution for losses resulting from unlawful actions taken by the Company and its board of directors. The claimant contends that he and others have sustained losses totaling approximately $1,440,000.

The Plaintiff contended that the Company failed to meet its obligations in issuing the Plaintiff stock under the terms of a restricted stock award agreement. Plaintiff was seeking at least $288,000 in damages. The Company believed Plaintiff’s allegations were baseless and had moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims during a hearing in September 2024.

We may be subject at times to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

There are no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our common stock is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Stock-based compensation

The Company takes some tax positions, including the reporting of stock-based compensation, that may not be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon an examination, and we may be subject to penalties for underreporting of recipient’s income. The result of any such examination is uncertain, and any such penalties could be material to our financial position and results of operations given our current limited cash and revenues.

NOTE 13–SEGMENT REPORTING

The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Company’s CEO reviews operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a whole for the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. This decision-making process reflects the way in which financial information is regularly reviewed and used by the CODM to evaluate performance, set operational targets, forecast future financial results, and allocate resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has one reportable and operating segment.

The Company’s CODM assesses financial performance and allocates resources based on consolidated operating results which are also reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM utilizes consolidated operating results by comparing actual results against budgeted amounts. As part of this process, consolidated net loss is a critical performance measure used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and guide strategic decisions and resource allocations, including additional investments in research and development The table below provides information about the Company’s revenue, significant segment expenses and other segment expenses.

If the Company is limited in its ability to use its net operating losses in future years in which it has taxable income, then the Company will pay more taxes than if it were otherwise able to fully utilize its net operating losses. The Company may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in ownership of the Company’s capital stock that the Company cannot predict or control that could result in further limitations being placed on the Company’s ability to utilize its federal net operating losses.

A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. When determining the amount of net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods and the feasibility of ongoing tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income, exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences, to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses. Based on these criteria and the relative weighting of both the positive and negative evidence available, management continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years ending on or before December 31, 2018.

NOTE 16–SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date on which these condensed financial statements were issued. Other than as described in the notes above, the Company did not have any material subsequent events that impacted its condensed financial statements or disclosures.

On February 28, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Equity Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Lind Global Fund III, LP (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor from time to time (each such occurrence, an “Advance”) up to $5.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), during the 36 months following the execution of the Subscription Agreement, subject to (a) an overall cap of 10,000,000 shares and (b) the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The Company is under no obligation to sell any of its Common Stock to the Investor under the Subscription Agreement. At the Company’s option, the shares of Common Stock would be purchased by the Investor from time to time at a price (the “Market Price”) equal to 95% of the lowest of the daily VWAPs (as hereinafter defined) during a five (or such other period as the Company and the Investor may agree) consecutive trading day period commencing on the date that the Company delivers a notice to the Investor (an “Advance Notice”) that the Company is requiring the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock (the “Advance Shares”). The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable price per share in each Advance. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may require the Investor to purchase in any Advance is an number equal to 66.667% of the average daily volume of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Advance Notice; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in any period of 30 consecutive days, the total number of Advance Shares that the Company may sell to the Investor may be up to 0.5% of the quotient of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Advance divided by the Market Price determined for such Advance.

As consideration for the Investor’s irrevocable commitment (subject to the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement) to purchase the Company’s Common Stock up to the Commitment Amount, the Company issued 108,542 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to the Investor. The Company had previously advanced to the Investor $10,000 to cover certain expenses related to the Subscription Agreement.

The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), registering the issuance and sale of the Commitment Shares and the Advance Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC.

Notice of Delisting

On April 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between February 27, 2025, through April 10, 2025, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 8, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of Nasdaq. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.
