附註1 – 業務性質及報表依據
業務 及組織
BioSig Technologies, Inc. 最初於2009年2月24日根據內華達州的法律註冊成立,並於2011年在特拉華州重新註冊。該公司主要致力於通過我們的PURE EP系統在電生理學中改善標準護理,並提供增強的信號採集、數字信號處理及在心臟心律不整消融過程中的分析。至今該公司產生的營業收入有限,因此其業務運營面臨所有早期商業化階段企業所固有的風險。
2018年11月7日,公司根據特拉華州法律成立了一家子公司,最初名為NeuroClear Technologies,後來於2020年3月更名為ViralClear Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(“ViralClear”)。這家子公司成立是為了開發PURE EP™信號處理技術在心臟電生理學以外的其他應用,隨後在2020年,轉為開發merimepodib,一種廣效抗病毒劑,對治療COVID-19顯示潛力。 自2020年底以來,ViralClear已重新調整其原始目標,尋求在心臟電生理學以外追求PURE EP™信號處理技術的其他應用。
在
2019年和2020年,ViralClear共計向投資者出售了
2020年7月2日,公司成立了一家額外的子公司NeuroClear Technologies, Inc.,一家特拉華州的公司,於2023年5月31日更名為BioSig AI Sciences, Inc.(“BioSig AI”)。這家子公司成立的目的是通過動作電位的記錄和分析來追求心臟和神經系統疾病的臨床需求。BioSig AI旨在促進基於人工智能的診斷和治療的進步。截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日,公司對BioSig AI擁有絕大多數股權。
公司持續評估兩家子公司的機會。
2024年1月28日及2024年2月20日,公司管理層開始了旨在大幅減少年度現金燃燒的員工減少,該工作已於2024年2月20日完成。這次員工減少包括了十六位員工的離職,生效日期為2024年1月31日,其中包括公司首席營運官約翰·西克豪斯和公司首席商業官格雷·弗雷明,以及二十六位員工生效日期為2024年2月20日。員工減少的影響在短期內顯著減少了業務。為了員工減少,公司發行了合計
2024年3月5日,公司收到了納斯達克上市資格部門("工作人員")發來的一封信,指出公司尚未恢復符合《納斯達克賬目規則》5550(a)(2)條款,因為公司的普通股未達到1美元的最低買盤價格要求。

信函進一步指出,公司不再符合維持列出證券最低市值為$的規定。
在2024年6月10日,公司收到了正式通知,納斯達克聽證會小組決定將公司的普通股從納斯達克退市,因為公司持續不符合納斯達克上市規則5550(b)(2)所訂的最低股東權益要求,因此不再符合繼續在納斯達克上市的資格。因此,公司的普通股將於2024年6月12日星期三開盤時在納斯達克停止交易。公司的普通股應符合於2024年6月12日星期三開盤時在場外交易市場的粉紅色當前資訊層下的標的“BSGM”進行交易的資格。根據納斯達克上市規則,公司對小組的決定提出了重新考慮的申請。
在2024年6月24日,公司收到納斯達克的通知,納斯達克聽證委員會拒絕重新考慮其於2024年6月10日做出的決定,即將公司的普通股自納斯達克退市(以下稱「退市決定」)。公司的證券於2024年6月12日開市時在納斯達克暫停交易,屆時公司的普通股可在場外交易市場的粉紅色當前資訊層進行交易。
二零二四年七月十日,公司向納斯達克上市及聽證審查委員會提交上訴以支持反上市決定。
於2024年7月23日,該公司開始在場外交易官方報價系統(OTCQB)交易其普通股,該系統由OTC市場集團公司運營。
2024年10月18日,公司收到了納斯達克上市和聽證會審查委員會的決定,允許公司在2025年3月7日之前獲得寬限期,以恢復符合納斯達克上市規則5550(b)(2)(稱為“MVLS規則”)的要求,該規則要求上市證券的市值至少為$
2024年10月21日,公司收到通知,其普通股將於2024年10月23日週三開市時,在納斯達克資本市場正式掛牌交易。
在 2024年10月24日,公司收到納斯達克上市資格("納斯達克")的通知信,告知公司基於從2024年6月11日至恢復日期2024年10月23日的公司普通股收盤買盤價格,公司未能達到納斯達克上市規則("規則")要求的最低買盤價格$ 每股。這導致公司不再符合該要求。然而,這些規則還為公司提供了180天的合規期,以便重新達到合規。
2024年11月13日,公司發布新聞稿宣佈其納斯達克買盤價合規。
未經審核的簡明合併基本報表包括BioSig Technologies, Inc.及其大部分持股子公司ViralClear和BioSig人工智能。
本公司未經審計的簡明合併基本報表是依據美國通用會計原則("GAAP")針對臨時財務資訊及10-Q表格的說明和S-X規則第8-03條準備的。因此,它們並不包括GAAP要求的完整基本報表所需的所有資訊和註腳。 管理層認為,所有被視為公平表達所需的調整(包括正常的經常性應計項目)均已包括在內。

截至2024年9月30日的三個月和九個月的經營結果不一定能反映2024年12月31日結束的年度可能預期的結果。這些未經審核的簡明綜合基本報表應與截至2023年12月31日的經審核基本報表一同閱讀,該報表已於2024年4月16日提交給證券交易委員會的公司10-k表格中。
註記2 – 繼續營業和管理層的流動性計劃
截至2024年9月30日,公司現金為$
公司自成立以來的主要經營資金來源,主要來自於出售股權證券及發行債務所籌得的現金收入。公司自成立以來一直經歷淨虧損和營運現金流為負,並預期這些情況將在可預見的未來持續。
公司的計劃包括持續商業化PURE EP系統及我們核心科技的其他應用,並通過出售額外的股權證券、債務或來自策略夥伴關係的資本流入來籌集資金。公司的策略轉變可能會聘用一支額外4至6人的團隊,以執行尋找夥伴以商業化PURE EP的業務發展策略,開發脈衝場消融領域的新產品,並持續將PURE EP整合到當前的實驗室設備中,這將使公司能夠顯著降低營業費用。
公司將需要額外的融資來資助未來的運營。此外,盡管公司已開展商業運營,但無法保證公司將能夠產生足夠的現金流以資助運營。此外,無法保證公司持續的研究和開發將成功完成,或任何附加產品將具有商業可行性。

因此, 隨附的未經審計的簡明合併基本報表已按照美國公認會計原則編製,這些原則 假設公司將持續經營,並在正常業務過程中實現資產和償還負債。合併基本報表中呈現的資產和負債的帳面金額不 一定代表可實現或結算的價值。合併基本報表不包含可能因這一不確定性結果而產生的任何 調整。
註記3 – 重要會計政策摘要
附帶的綜合基本報表中採用的重要會計政策摘要如下。
反向 股票合併
於2024年1月31日,公司向特拉華州國務卿提交了反向股票分割修正案,該修正案於2024年2月2日生效。根據反向股票分割修正案,公司實施了
使用估計值
根據GAAP準則,編製這些合併基本報表需要管理層進行估計和假設,這些估計和假設影響資產和負債的申報金額,披露合併基本報表日期時的條件資產和負債以及報告期間內的收入和支出金額。重要的估計包括長壽資產的回收能力和使用年限,股份報酬和與递延稅資產有關的估值準備金。實際結果可能與這些估計不同。
營業收入 認列
公司主要營業收入來自於銷售其器械PURE EP™系統,以及相關的支援、維護服務和軟體升級租賃。
公司根據會計準則編碼(ASC)842來確認營業收入, 租賃 (“ASC 842”)用於租賃元件和ASC 606, 客戶合同的營業收入 (“ASC 606”)用於非租賃元件。對於醫療設備銷售和軟體出租,公司根據ASC 606確認營業收入。
ASC 606的核心原則是,實體在向客戶轉讓承諾的商品或服務時,確認營業收入,以反映實體期望在交易所中獲得的報酬數額。
根據 ASC 606,公司通過以下五個步驟確定營業收入的確認:
● | 判斷與客戶的合約; |
● | 識別 合約中的履約義務; |
● | 判斷交易價格; |
● | 將 交易價格分配給合約中的履約義務; |
● | 當或在履行義務滿足時,確認 營業收入。 |

履行義務是確認營收的會計單位,通常代表向客戶承諾的獨特商品或服務。如果公司確定未滿足一項履行義務,則將推遲承認收入,直到履行義務被視為滿足。一旦PURE EP平台被交付、安裝並被客戶接受,我們的履行義務即被確認。支援、維護和軟體升級租金是在一定期間內的履行義務,並且在合約服務期間內按比例確認。客戶通常在購買PURE EP平台時同時購買這些服務,並且在未履行重大義務的情況下並無權終止合約。
公司可以與單一客戶執行超過一份合同。 若有如此情況,就需要評估協議是否是作為一個套裝簽定,支付金額是否取決於另一份協議的價格和/或表現,或者協議中承諾的商品或服務是否代表一個單一履約義務。 得出的結論可能會影響將交易價格分配給每個履約義務的方式以及與這些安排相關的收入確認時間。
公司將已向客戶開具帳單並具有無條件收款權的金額記錄為應收帳款,符合合同安排。如有尚未開具帳單的已完工履行義務所涉金額,屬未開帳的應收帳款。逾期收到協議下履行前收取的金額,尚未實現營業收入。我們的未開帳應收帳款和逾期收到款將於每個報告期末按個別合同基礎報告。根據我們預計向客戶開具帳單的時間,未開帳應收帳款分為流動或非流動。根據我們預期認定營業收入的時間,逾期收到款分為流動或非流動。
公司對於轉移給客戶的商品和服務的無條件收款權利已包含在公司的綜合賬戶應收款淨額中(如有)在公司的合併資產負債表中。
在2022年,公司以每月$的價格,租賃了兩個PURE EP平台。
在 2023年,公司簽訂了一份為期一年的軟體升級租約。公司依據ASC 606來處理該租約。
公司確定這些租賃符合銷售類租賃的標準,其中未來預期營業收入的現值(減去估計的未保證殘值的現值)、銷售成本及損益在租賃開始時認列。非租賃元件根據ASC 606進行認列。使用的折現率為合同明確利率的

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.

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). ASU 2023-07 modifies reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about segment expenses categorized as significant or regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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.

Business Overview
BioSig Technologies is a medical device company with an advanced digital signal processing technology platform to deliver insights to the treatment of cardiovascular arrhythmias. Through collaboration with physicians, experts, and healthcare leaders across the field of electrophysiology (EP), we are committed to addressing healthcare’s biggest priorities — saving time, saving costs, and saving lives.
Our first product, the PURE EP™ System, is an FDA 510(k) cleared non-invasive class II device consisting of a unique combination of hardware and software designed to provide unprecedented signal clarity and precision for real-time visualization of intracardiac signals paving the way for personalized patient care. Integrating with existing systems in the EP lab, PURE EP™ is designed to accurately pinpoint even the most complex signals to maximize procedural success and efficiency.
By capturing critical cardiac signals—even the most complex, the PURE EP™ System is designed to enhance clinical decision-making and improve clinical workflow for all types of arrhythmias - even the most challenging procedures for cardiac arrhythmias, like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
On July 1, 2024, the Company announced the intent to acquire the assets of Neuro-Kinesis Corporation (NKC), a privately held Los Angeles-based medical technology company developing smart EP tools. A non-binding letter of intent (LOI) has been executed confirming BioSig’s preliminary interest in the proposed acquisition of the assets of NKC. The purchase price will be paid through the issuance of shares of BioSig’s common stock to the shareholders of NKC. In addition, at closing, NKC will provide a minimum of $2.5 million, but could provide up to $6 million, of unrestricted cash to BioSig. The proposed acquisition will require extensive due diligence, potentially through year-end, with full disclosures in the Company’s next proxy statement for shareholder vote.
Our owned patent portfolio now includes 41 issued/allowed utility patents (29 utility patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Twenty-seven additional U.S. and foreign utility patent applications are pending covering various aspects of our PURE EP System for recording, measuring, calculating and displaying of electrocardiograms during cardiac ablation procedures (27 U.S. and foreign utility patent applications where either BioSig, Mayo, or both is at least one of the applicants). We also have one U.S. patent and one U.S. Pending application directed to artificial intelligence (AI). We also have 30 issued worldwide design patents, which cover various features of our display screens and graphical user interface for enhanced visualization of biomedical signals (30 design patents where BioSig is at least one of the applicants). Finally, we have licenses to 12 (issued/allowed) patents and 9 additional worldwide utility patent applications from Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research that are pending (12 issued/allowed patents and 9 applications where only Mayo is the applicant). These patents and applications are generally directed to electroporation and stimulation.

Notices of Delisting
On March 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) stating that the Company has not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the Company’s common stock did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company is not eligible for a second 180 day cure period under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(2) because the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market, and that accordingly, Nasdaq would delist the Company’s common stock unless the Company requested an appeal of this determination. On March 11, 2024, the Company submitted a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination.
On March 12, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that based upon the Staff’s review of the Company and pursuant to Listing Rule 5101, the Staff believes that the Company no longer has an operating business and is a “public shell,” and that the continued listing of its securities is no longer warranted, in view of work force reductions and resignations of members of the board of directors and officers (see below).
The letter further stated that the Company no longer meets the requirement of Rule 5550(b)(2) to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities of $35 million, if none of the other standards set forth in Rule 5550(b) is met.
The Staff stated that the foregoing matters serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market, and that the Hearings Panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
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 October 21, 2024, the Company was notified that its common stock will commence trading on The Nasdaq Stock 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 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.
If at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, 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.

We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, such as the progress of our research and development and commercialization efforts, the timing and outcome of future regulatory submissions and uncertainty around the current pandemic. Due to these uncertainties, accurate predictions of future operations are difficult or impossible to make.

Segment Results
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.
Summary Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in Note 13 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern ($000’s)
As of September 30, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $853, comprised of cash of $615, accounts receivable of $81, current portion of net investments in leases of $39 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $113, which was offset by $1,448 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued dividends on preferred stock issuances of $108 and of current portion of lease liability of $145. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used $4,284 of cash in operating activities and nil of cash in investing activities.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 (000’s)
Cash provided by financing activities totaled $4,709, comprised of proceeds from the sale of our common stock and warrants, net of expenses, of $4,209 and proceeds from issuance of a related party note of $500.
In the comparable period in 2023, our aggregate cash provided by financing activities totaled $14,585 comprised of proceeds from the sale of our common stock and warrants. At September 30, 2024, we had cash of $615 compared to $389 at September 30, 2023. Our cash is held in bank deposit accounts. At September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had no convertible debentures outstanding.
Cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $4,284 and $14,371, respectively, which represent cash outlays for research and development and general and administrative expenses in such periods. The decreases in cash outlays principally resulted in reduced operating costs, general and administrative expenses in 2024 and with net decreases in our operating assets of $114 and a net increase in our operating liabilities of $5,242.
We used nil cash for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $182 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the comparable period, we purchased computers and other equipment.
We had an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2024 of $254.24 million, as well as a net loss attributable to BioSig of $9.2 million and negative operating cash flows. We expect to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations until our products (primarily PURE EP Platform) reach full commercial profitability.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised due to our net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and our expectation is that these conditions will continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, we will require additional financing to fund future operations. Although we have commercial products available for sale, we have not generated significant revenues to date, and there is no assurance that we will be able to generate cash flow to fund operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that our research and development will be successfully completed or that any additional products will be approved or commercially viable. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, obtaining loans from various financial institutions or being awarded grants from government agencies, where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. Additionally, with our reduction in staff, our planned commercialization may be further delayed.
Our plans include the continued commercialization of the PURE EP System and other applications of our core technology and raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. Our shift from a focus on technology development to commercialization has allowed us to reduce our annual expenses in a meaningful way. As a result of this transition, we have been able to achieve savings through reductions in executive and management compensation and a reduction of our utilization of external consultants and professional service providers. We believe these cost-saving measures combined with our expectations of positive trends in commercial activity create the potential for us to achieve a lower cash flow breakeven rate. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for our operations. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and continues to result in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in recent months. In addition, U.S. 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.
35 |
A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital and on the market price of our common stock, and we may not be able to successfully raise capital through the sale of our securities.
Our Series C Preferred Stock contains triggering events which would, among other things, require redemption (i) in cash, at the greater of (a) 120% of the stated value of $1 or (b) the product of (I) the variable weighted average price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the triggering event and (II) the stated value divided by the then conversion price or (ii) in shares of our common stock, equal to a number of shares equal to the amount set forth in (i) above divided by 75%. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate stated value of our Series C Preferred Stock was $105. The triggering events include our being subject to a judgment of greater than $100 or our initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. If any of the triggering events contained in our Series C Preferred Stock occur, the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock may demand redemption, an obligation we may not have the ability to meet at the time of such demand. We will be required to pay interest on any amounts remaining unpaid after the required redemption of our Series C Preferred Stock, at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We expect to incur additional marketing and commercialization expenses related to our PURE EP system in addition to additional research and development costs relating to the PURE EP and other product candidates, including expenses related to clinical trials. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we expand our business development, add infrastructure and incur additional costs related to being a public company, including incremental audit fees, investor relations programs and increased professional services.
Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of our research and development of product candidates, the timing and outcome of regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of competitive products, the availability of financing and our success in developing markets for our product candidates.
Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, existing holders of our securities may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our securities.
If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain product candidates that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.
Equity Financing

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Issuance of Debt
On March 7, 2024, we issued a promissory note to an investor and an affiliate (10% or more shareholder) for $500,000. We designated its 12% note due 2026, in accordance with exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The note is due March 7, 2026. We promise to pay interest in cash on the unpaid principal amount of this note at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12%), commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the maturity date or earlier prepayment as provided therein. The Note contains customary events of default.
We may prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of the Note at any time or from time to time without penalty.
On May 1, 2024, we converted the promissory note and related accrued interest of $509,165 into 348,624 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 174,312 shares of common stock at $1.398 per share, that will become exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five and one-half years following the date of issuance.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and our judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances.
We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Among the significant judgments made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the following:
Stock Based Compensation
We estimate the fair value of options and stock warrants granted using the Black Scholes Merton model. We estimate when and if performance-based awards will be earned. If an award is not considered probable of being earned, no amount of equity-based compensation expense is recognized. If the award is deemed probable of being earned, related equity-based compensation expense is recorded. The fair value of an award ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations, which is generally the vesting period of the award.
The Black Scholes Merton model requires the input of certain subjective assumptions and the application of judgment in determining the fair value of the awards. The most significant assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, and the expected term of the awards. In addition, the recognition of equity-based compensation expense is impacted by our forfeitures, which are accounted for as they occur.
The assumptions used in our option pricing model represent management’s best estimates. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. The assumptions used in our option pricing model represent management’s best estimates. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
37 |
All stock-based payments to employees and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors consisted of grants of restricted stock and stock options, which are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation expense over the relevant vesting period. Restricted stock payments and stock-based payments to non-employees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance.
Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached, or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are non-forfeitable, the measurement date is the date the award is issued.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; | |
(2) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and | |
(3) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible enhancements to controls and procedures.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the criteria in a framework developed by the Company’s management pursuant to and in compliance with the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, walkthroughs of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2024, because management identified that i) inadequate identification, recording and reporting of stock based compensation, ii) ineffective review processes over period end financial disclosure and reporting, and (iii) inadequate segregation of duties for transaction posting and processing, amounted to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
38 |
The material weaknesses did not result in any identified misstatements to the consolidated financial statements and there were no changes to previously released financial results.
Management’s Remediation Plan
In 2025, we have intents to add sufficient staff and oversight supervision controls to provide adequate accounting segregation. We believe these changes will remediate the underlying deficiencies as identified by us. The remediation efforts will include an ongoing review of the implementation of additional controls to ensure all risks have been addressed.
As a result of the material weaknesses discussed above or of others, we may experience negative impacts on our ability to accurately report our results of operation and financial condition in a timely manner. If we do identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and are unsuccessful in implementing or following a remediation plan, or fail to update our internal control over financial reporting as our business evolves or to integrate acquired businesses into our controls system, if additional material weaknesses are found in our internal controls in the future, or if our external auditors cannot attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial review, if applicable, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. If we are unable to report financial information in a timely and accurate manner or to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, we could be subject to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions by the SEC, an inability for us to be accepted for listing on any national securities exchange in the near future, securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our common stock. Further, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. We could face additional litigation exposure and a greater likelihood of an SEC enforcement or other regulatory action if further restatements were to occur or other accounting-related problems emerge.
The weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that occurred during our last completed fiscal quarter that has materially negatively affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As discussed above, management has remediation plans that will be implemented in 2025.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 4, 2023, we received a threat of litigation for the termination of employment with the Company alleging the termination of employment was in retaliation for bringing to the attention of the Company’s board of directors and executives a series of wrongful and questionable practices by members of the Company’s board of directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The claimant sought compensation of 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, we received a threat of litigation seeking restitution for losses resulting from unlawful actions taken by the Company’s board of directors. The claimant contends that he and others have sustained losses totaling $1,440,000. On March 22, 2024, the claimant sent another letter to the Company referencing the previous letter and requesting several documents. The Company believes that these claims are without merit.
On March 22, 2024, plaintiff, Michael Gray Fleming (the “Plaintiff”), filed a lawsuit in Hennepin County, Minnesota District Court naming the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer as defendants. The Plaintiff contends that the Company failed to meet its obligations in issuing the Plaintiff stock certificates under the terms of a restricted stock award agreement. Plaintiff is seeking at least $288,000 in damages. The Company believes Plaintiff’s allegations are baseless, and its intent is to contest the allegations vigorously. As of the date of this report, the Company is unable to provide an evaluation of the outcome of the litigation or to provide an estimate of the amount of or a range of potential loss that might be incurred by the Company. The Company has moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims; a hearing is set in September 2024. The Company also has learned that, following expiration of the SEC Rule 144 waiting period for affiliate/control shares, Plaintiff was able to have his restrictions removed. In light of the pending motion and legend removal, the Company hopes that Plaintiff will simply withdraw his complaint.
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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to risk factors associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price.
The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.
Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
