All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future financial condition, future operations, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "aim," "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "design," "due," "estimate," "expect," "goal," "intend," "may," "objective," "plan," "positioned," "potential," "predict," "seek," "should," "target," "will," "would" and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different from those indicated (both favorably and unfavorably). These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the Risk Factors section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the Form 10-K) dated March 28, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024, under Rule 424(b)(4). Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have filed as exhibits completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward- looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by these cautionary statements.

Certain financing activities stated in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting the six-month period ending June 30, 2024, have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

In the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six-month period ending June 30, 2024, the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows included separate line items to report cash issuance costs related to our common stock fund raising activities, the equity line ($262,744) and public offering ($256,094). In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2024, the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows include one line item to report cumulative cash issuance costs for all common stock financing activities in the period.

This reclassification had no effect on the net income or net assets as previously reported.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, its limited operating history, competition from other companies, limited access to additional funds, dependence on key personnel, and management of potential rapid growth. To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, develop its customer base; implement and successfully execute its business and marketing strategy; develop follow-on products; provide superior customer service; and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in addressing these or other such risks.

2024 Reverse Stock Split

In March 2023 the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split proposal at a ratio in the range of one-for-five to one-for-fifty, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company's board in its discretion without further approval from the Company's stockholders. In January 2024, the Company's board subsequently approved the final reverse stock split ratio of one-for-sixteen(the "2024 Stock Split"), which resulted in a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock, warrants, stock options and restricted share units and a proportionate increase in the value of each share or strike price of the warrants and stock options. The common stock began trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ on January 4, 2024.

As a result of the 2024 Stock Split, unless described otherwise, all references to common stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock splits for all periods presented. In addition, any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued as a result of the stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Further, the number of shares issuable and exercise prices of stock options and warrants have been retrospectively adjusted in these financial statements for all periods presented to reflect the 2024 Stock Split.

The following tables present selected share information reflecting on a retroactive basis the reverse stock splits as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Nasdaq $1.00 Minimum Bid Price Notice

On April 8, 2024, we received a written notice (the "Bid Price Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Bid Price Requirement").

The Bid Price Notice did not result in the immediate delisting of the Company's common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the 30 consecutive business days for the period ending April 5, 2024, the Company no longer met this requirement.

The Notice indicated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days (or until October 7, 2024) in which to regain compliance. We did not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period on October 7, 2024. On October 8, 2024, we received from the Nasdaq staff (the "Staff") written notification that our securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. We had an appeal hearing on October 10, 2024 before a Nasdaq hearings panel (the "Panel") appeal the delisting notice from the Staff. While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of our common stock will be stayed. Our common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision. The Panel has granted the Company an extension until January 31, 2025 to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

At the Company's special stockholders' meeting on September 23, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved a proposal to grant discretionary authority to our board of directors to (i) amend our certificate of incorporation to combine outstanding shares of our common stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares, or a "reverse stock split," at a specific ratio within a range of one-for-five(1-for-5) to a maximum of a one-for-fifty(1-for-50) split, with the exact ratio to be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion; and (ii) effect the reverse stock split, if at all, within one year of the date the proposal was approved by stockholders. The Company intends to implement a reverse stock split in the near future in order to assist with the Company's compliance with Nasdaq's Bid Price Requirement.

Nasdaq Stockholder Equity Notice

On August 22, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that that the Company was not in compliance with the requirement to have at least $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement"). In its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported stockholders' equity of $1,642,177, and, as a result, did not satisfy Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

Accordingly, the Staff determined to delist our common stock from Nasdaq. Nasdaq's letter provided the Company until August 29, 2024 to request an appeal of this determination. The Company requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the delisting notice from the Staff. The hearing request stays any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing.

We had an appeal hearing on October 10, 2024 before the Panel to appeal the delisting notice from the Staff. The Panel granted the Company an extension until January 31, 2025 to demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of the Company's common stock will be stayed. Our common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues its final written determination.

The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq. The Company is currently evaluating its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum stockholders' equity requirement.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to depreciation, amortization, and valuation of warrants, warrant and derivative liabilities, and options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts on an Entity's Own Equity, addresses whether an equity-linked contract qualifies as equity in the entity's financial statements. Agreements where an entity has insufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the contract generally are accounted for as a liability and marked to fair value through earnings each reporting period. The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are liabilities or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are accessible by the Company on the measurement date.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the instrument requiring the development of assumptions by the Company.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board's ("FASB") accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The Company's warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities are estimated using level 3 inputs (see Note 3).

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has derivative financial instruments that are not hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in other income (expenses), on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had nocash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company maintains cash deposits at several financial institutions, which are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. The Company's cash balance may at times exceed these limits. On September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $973,093and $761,800, respectively, in excess of federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. The Company maintains no international bank accounts. As of September 30, 2024, $10,000of the Company's cash was restricted as collateral related to the credit card program offered by our bank.

Accounts Receivable, Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0on September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when a contract with a customer exists, and at that point in time when we have delivered a Nociscan report to our customer. Revenue is recognized in the amount that reflects the negotiated consideration expected to be received in exchange for those reports. Following the delivery of the report, the company has no ongoing obligations or services to provide to the customer. Customers pay no other upfront, licensing, or other fees. To date, our reports are not reimbursable under any third-party payment arrangements, The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules in its sales arrangements. Payment terms range generally from 30 to 90 days from the date of invoice.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

The Company believes that the net proceeds from the common shares offered at-the-market in August 2024 and the issuance of C-Series preferred stock in September 2024 will be sufficient to fund current operating plans into December 2024. The Company has based these estimates, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could spend available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue funding our technology development. Management plans to secure such additional funding.

As a result of the Company's recurring losses from operations and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, under which the Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of stock-based awards issued to employees and nonemployee board members as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award, while awards containing a performance condition are recognized as expense when the achievement of the performance criteria is achieved. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options. The Company records expense for forfeitures in the periods they occur.

The exercise or strike price of each option is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted.

The Company issues restricted stock unit awards to non-employee consultants who are providing various services. The awards are valued at the market price on the date of the grant. The awards vest over the contract life and based on achievement of targeted performance milestones.

On occasion, the Company grants common stock to compensate vendors for services rendered.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other fees and costs that are directly attributable to in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are completed. Upon the completion of an equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital of the related offering. Approximately $543,500of issuance costs related to the public offering in February 2024 were reclassified to additional paid-in capital ($310,100 deducted from proceeds, and $239,400 paid in cash). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately $375,939of costs related to all other common stock issuances, and $90,000of costs related to preferred stock issuances were reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period to comply with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), the Company uses various inputs to measure the outstanding warrants, certain embedded redemption features associated with the senior note to Aclarion, Inc. on a recurring basis to determine the fair value of the liability.

		Fair value measured as of September 30, 2024
		Fair value on September 30, 2024			Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)			Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Warrant liability		$	16,270			$	-			$	-			$	16,270
Derivative Liability			-				-				-				-
Total Fair value		$	16,270			$	-			$	-			$	16,270

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2, and 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measures at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category.

		Warrant Liability			Derivative Liability			Total
Balance - December 31, 2023		$	289,165			$	121,326			$	410,491
Exchange and Payoff of Notes Payable			-				(63,589	)			(63,589	)
Change in fair value			(272,895	)			(57,737	)			(330,632	)
Balance - September 30, 2024		$	16,270			$	-			$	16,270

The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities associated with the Senior Notes Payable was estimated using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model to measure the fair value. This involves significant Level 3 inputs and assumptions including an (i) estimated probability and timing of certain financing events and event of default, and (ii) the Company's risk-adjusted discount rate.

The fair value of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation using the following assumptions.

		As of Dec 31, 2023			As of Sept 30, 2024
		Warrant Liability			Warrant Liability
Strike Price		$	4.32			$	0.29
Contractual term (years)			5.0				5.0
Volatility (annual)			80.0%				120.0%
Risk-free rate			3.89%				3.58-4.44%
Floor Financing price		$	2.24			$	0.14

NOTE 4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

To date, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 5. REVENUE

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections may result in trade, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues on the balance sheets. At times, revenue recognition may occur before the billing, resulting in an unbilled receivable, which would represent a contract asset. The contract asset would be a component of accounts receivable and other assets for the current and non-current portions, respectively. In the event the Company receives advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, this would result in a contract liability.

NOTE 9. SHORT TERM NOTES AND CONVERTIBLE DEBT

Convertible Notes:

As of December 31, 2023, there were noConvertible Notes payable and outstanding. There was noconvertible note activity in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Senior Notes Payable

In May 2023, the Company issued $1,437,500unsecured senior notes with a maturity date of May 16, 2024(the "May 2023 Notes"), for cash proceeds of $1,250,000. The May 2023 Notes contained an original issue discount of 15.0% and accrued interest at an annual rate of 8.0%.

In September 2023, as agreed to during the issuance of the May 2023 Notes, the Company exercised their right to an additional financing, issuing $862,500unsecured senior notes that mature on September 1, 2024(the "September 2023 Notes") for cash proceeds of $750,000. The September 2023 Notes contained an original issue discount of 15.0% and accrued interest at an annual rate of 8.0%.

In November 2023, the Company issued $294,118unsecured senior notes with a maturity date of April 19, 2024(the "November 2023 Notes"), for cash proceeds of $250,000. The November 2023 Notes contained an original issue discount of 15.0% and accrue interest at an annual rate of 8.0%.

The Company incurred issuance costs, recorded as deferred financing costs, of $361,675relating to due diligence and legal costs associated with the issuance of the May 2023 Notes, the September 2023 Notes, and the November 2023 Notes (the "Senior Notes").

The Company evaluated the embedded redemption and contingent interest features in Senior Notes to determine if such features were required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative liability. In accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the embedded redemption features and contingent interest feature were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date. The Company fair valued such derivative liabilities and recorded a debt discount at issuance of the Senior Notes of $320,561.

The Company issued warrants to purchase 77,010 and 46,556 shares of common stock (1,232,156 and 744,890 shares before giving effect to the 2024 Stock Split) to the holders of the May 2023 Notes and November 2023 Notes (collectively the "Senior Notes Warrants") with an exercise price of $10.02 and $4.58 per share ($0.6262 and $0.2856 pre-2024 split), respectively. The Company accounted for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" whereby under that provision these warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. As such, these warrants are recorded at fair value as of each reporting date with the change in fair value reported within other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as "Change in fair value of warrant liability" until the warrants are exercised, expired or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified to stockholders' equity. The fair value of the Senior Notes Warrants at issuance was $736,249 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company incurred issuance costs of $72,862 relating to the Senior Notes Warrants which was recorded as a day 1 expense due to the liability classification of such warrants.

In connection with the issuance of the May 2023 Notes and November 2023 Notes, the Company paid a commitment fee in the form of 21,210 and 9,311 shares (339,360 and 148,978 shares before giving effect to the 2024 Stock Split) of unregistered common stock to the holders, respectively. The aggregate commitment fees had a fair value at issuance of $208,916 and were recorded as a deferred financing cost.

The resulting debt discounts from the derivative liabilities, warrant liabilities and deferred financing costs were presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $60,226in amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs which is recorded in interest expense.

Between January 22 and January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a series of exchange agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") with the accredited investors to exchange principal and accrued interest on the May 2023 Notes for shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of 644,142post-split shares of common stock in exchange for $1,519,779principal and accrued interest on the May 2023 Notes. Following these exchanges, the remaining outstanding balance of principal and interest on the Senior Notes was $1,145,037. This transaction accelerated the recognition of the related note discounts and resulted in a $1,066,732charge.

On March 6, 2024, the Company paid $300,973of principal and accrued interest on the November 2023 Notes. Following this payment, the remaining outstanding balance of principal and interest on Senior Notes was $898,380. This transaction accelerated the recognition of the related note discounts and resulted in a $111,928charge.

On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the accredited investors to exchange $930,052of principal and accrued interest on the September 2023 Notes for 930shares of newly issued Series B convertible preferred stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $1,000 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price ("Conversion Price") of $0.234 per share. Following these exchanges, the remaining outstanding balance of principal and interest on the Senior Notes was $0. This transaction accelerated the recognition of the related note discounts and resulted in a $6,585charge.

The following table reconciles the aggregate amount for the Senior Notes as well as the unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts relating to the derivative liabilities and warrant liabilities.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Royalty Agreement

The Company has an exclusive license agreement with the Regents of the University of California to make, use, sell and otherwise distribute products under certain of the Regents of the University of California's patents anywhere in the world. The Company is obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty of $50,000, and an earned royalty of 4% of net sales. The minimum annual royalty will be applied against the earned royalty due for the calendar year in which the minimum payment was made. The license agreements expire upon expiration of the patents and may be terminated earlier if the Company so elects. The U.S. licensed patents that are currently issued expire between 2026 and 2029, without considering any possible patent term adjustment or extensions and assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity, or other governmental fees. The Company recorded royalty costs of $12,500for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $37,500for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, as Cost of Revenue.

Litigation

To date, the Company has not been involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. If any legal proceeding occurs, the Company will record a provision for a loss when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, although litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, the Company could incur significant charges related to legal matters that could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

NOTE 11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on April 21, 2022, as part of the Company's initial public offering. The Company was authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "common stock" and "preferred stock." The total number of shares which the Company was authorized to issue was two hundred twenty million (220,000,000) shares.

Reverse Stock Split

The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on March 24, 2023. At the special meeting, our stockholders approved one proposal, which was to grant discretionary authority to our board of directors to (i) amend our certificate of incorporation to combine outstanding shares of our common stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares, or a "reverse stock split," at a specific ratio within a range of one-for-five(1-for-5) to a maximum of a one-for-fifty(1-for-50) split, with the exact ratio to be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion; and (ii) effect the reverse stock split, if at all, within one year of the date the proposal was approved by stockholders.

In January 2024, the Company's board subsequently approved the final reverse stock split ratio of one-for-sixteen (the "2024 Stock Split"), which resulted in a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock, warrants, stock options and restricted share units and a proportionate increase in the value of each share or strike price of the warrants and stock options. The common stock began trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ on January 4, 2024.

Public Offering

On February 27, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 5,175,000units ("Units") at a price of $0.58per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, before deducting offering expenses. Each Unit was comprised of (i) one share of common stock or, in lieu of common stock, one prefunded warrant to purchase a share of common stock, and (ii) two common warrants, each common warrant to purchase a share of common stock. The prefunded warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $0.00001 per share of common stock and only expire when such prefunded warrants are fully exercised. The common warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $0.58 per share of common stock and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

NOTE 12. NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number shares of common stock outstanding during the period and shares issuable for vested restricted stock units. Potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for loss periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to stockholders follows:

NOTE 13. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

2022 Aclarion Equity Incentive Plan

On April 21, 2022, in connection with the IPO, the Company's 2022 Aclarion Equity Incentive Plan, or "2022 Plan", went into effect. Our board of directors has appointed the compensation committee of our board of directors as the committee under the 2022 Plan with the authority to administer the 2022 Plan. The aggregate number of our shares of common stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes under the 2022 Plan is 125,000shares (2,000,000 prior to the 2024 Stock Split), with an automatic increase on January 1st of each year, for a period of not more than ten years, commencing on January 1st of the year following the year in which the initial public offering date (April 2022) occurs and ending on (and including) January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding on 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 shares for such year or that the increase in shares for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence.

As of the year ended December 31, 2023, the aggregate number of our shares of common stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes under the 2022 Plan was 154,426(2,470,814 pre-split). On January 1, 2024, the 2022 Plan had an automatic increase of 41,270 (660,311 pre-split) shares which was 5% of the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding on December 31, 2023.

Options granted under the 2022 Plan may be incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options, as determined by the administrator at the time of grant of an option. Restricted stock may also be granted under the 2022 Plan. The options vest in accordance with the grant terms and are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from grant date.

Nooptions were granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Nocimed, Inc. 2015 Stock Plan

The Company maintains the Nocimed, Inc. 2015 Stock Plan, or the "Existing Plan", under which the Company could grant 152,558 shares (after giving effect to the 2024 Stock Split) or options of the Company to our employees, consultants, and other service providers. The Company suspended the Existing Plan in connection with the April 2022, initial public offering. The Company did not grant any stock options under the Existing Plan for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and thereafter. No further awards will be granted under the Existing Plan, but awards granted prior to the suspension date will continue in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Existing Plan.

Determining Fair Value of Stock Options

The fair value of each grant of stock options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Valuation and Amortization Method -The Company estimates the fair value of its stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. This fair value is then amortized over the requisite service periods of the awards.

Expected Term-The Company estimates the expected term of stock option by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option, as illustrated by the simplified method.

Expected Volatility-The expected volatility is derived from the Company's expectations of future market volatility over the expected term of the options.

Risk-Free Interest Rate-The risk-free interest rate is based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield curve on the date of grant.

Dividend Yield-The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of no dividend payouts.

Stock Award Activity

A summary of option activity under the Company's incentive plans is as follows:

		Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (In Years)

Total revenues. Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $14,407, which was a decrease of $4,658, or 24%, from $19,065 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in revenues was driven primarily by the conclusion of certain clinical activity at customer sites utilizing NOCISCAN ® reports, offset in part by an increase in patient-pay reports.

Cost of Revenue. Direct cost of revenue is comprised of hosting and software costs, field support, UCSF royalty cost, partner fees (Radnet), and credit card fees. Total cost of revenue was $21,332 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $19,558 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 9%. This increase was primarily due to a change in revenue mix that increased partner fees.

Sales and Marketing. Marketing expenses include post-market clinical and reimbursement consulting, salaries, website support, press releases, conferences, travel, and shared-based compensation for Key Opinion Leaders. Sales and marketing expenses were $232,775 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $192,896 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $39,879, or 21%. Post-market clinical expenses increased as the Company focused on the initiation of the Clarity trial. Marketing expenses also increased with the number of press releases year-over-year. There was a partial favorable offset as shared-based compensation decreased in the third quarter of 2024 with the conclusion of Key Opinion Leader grant periods.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $195,797 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $198,252 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $2,455, or 1%.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $860,461 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $89,927, or 12%, from $770,534 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there was increased investment in investor relations and consulting, offset in part by reduced bonus expense, D&O insurance premiums, and legal fees compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Other Income (Expense).

Interest expense was $71,527 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $94,805 from the $166,332 incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. This decrease in interest expense was due to the ongoing retirement of debt over the nine month period ended September 30, 2024.

The Company's warrant and derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value as of each reporting date (see Note 3 to the condensed financial statements). For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a favorable adjustment in fair value of $7,591.

Total cost of revenue was $64,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $56,312 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 14%, driven by a price increase related to hosting costs and a change in revenue mix that increased partner fees.

Sales and Marketing. Marketing expenses include post-market clinical and reimbursement consulting, salaries, website support, press releases, conferences, travel, and shared-based compensation for Key Opinion Leaders. Sales and marketing expenses were $638,869 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $577,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $60,900, or 11%. Increased post-market clinical expense related to the Clarity trial, greater marketing expense, and increased benefits costs were offset in part by a reduction in restricted stock vesting expense related to the Company's engagement of Key Opinion Leaders.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $636,940 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $652,657 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $15,717, or 2%.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $2,402,408 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $121,900 or 5%, from $2,524,308 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by reduced bonus accruals, lower personnel expense, and decreased D&O insurance premiums, offset in part by higher legal and finance support costs and increased investment in investor relations.

Other Income (Expense).

Interest expense was $535,199 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $320,349 from the $214,850 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase in interest expense was due to the increase in debt taken on by the Company in 2023. In May, September and November 2023 the Company issued $2,594,118 aggregate principal amount of unsecured non-convertible notes to certain accredited investors. (see Note 9 to the condensed financial statements).

The Company incurred losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, on three transactions to reduce debt. The first transaction took place between January 22 and January 29, 2024, whereby the Company entered into a series of exchange agreements with investors to issue an aggregate of 644,142 post-split shares of common stock in exchange for $1,519,779 principal and accrued interest on the notes. This transaction accelerated the recognition of the related note discounts and resulted in a $1,066,732 charge. The second transaction was on March 6, 2024, whereby the Company paid $300,974 of principal and accrued interest on the notes. This transaction accelerated the recognition of the related note discounts and resulted in a $111,928 charge. The third transaction was on August 14, 2024, whereby the Company entered into an exchange agreement with investors to issue an aggregate of 930 shares of B-Series convertible preferred stock in exchange for $930,052 principal and accrued interest on the notes.

The Company's warrant and derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value as of each reporting date (see Note 3 to the condensed financial statements). For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a favorable adjustment in fair value of $330,632.

Other net income of $93,284 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, included a favorable discount to accounts payable of $117,985, offset in part by a $25,000 penalty paid to investors related to a failure to timely register certain commitment shares.

Critical accounting policies and use of estimates

Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues from one source, the delivery of Nociscan reports to medical professionals. Revenues are recognized when a contract with a customer exists, and the control of the promised services are transferred to our customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. Our revenues are generated from contracts with customers in the United States and internationally.

Equity-Based Compensation

Certain of our employees and consultants have received grants of common stock options and RSUs in our company. These awards are accounted for in accordance with guidance prescribed for accounting for equity-based compensation. Based on this guidance and the terms of the awards, the awards are equity classified.

Until our April 2022 initial public offering, we were a private company with no active public market for our common equity. Therefore, we had periodically determined the overall value of our company and the estimated per share fair value of our common equity at their various dates using contemporaneous valuations performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of CPA's Practice Aid. Since a public trading market for our common stock has been established in connection with the completion of our initial public offering, it will no longer be necessary for us to estimate the fair value of our common stock in connection with our accounting for equity awards we may grant, as the fair value of our common stock will be its public market trading price.

For financial reporting purposes, we performed common stock valuations as a private company with the assistance of a third-party specialist. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the fair value of the Company's common stock underlying its equity awards is based on the quoted market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.

Going Concern

The Company believes that the net proceeds from the common shares offered at-the-market in August 2024 and the issuance of C-Series preferred stock in September 2024 will be sufficient to fund current operating plans into December 2024. The Company has based these estimates, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could spend available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue funding our technology development. Management plans to secure such additional funding.

As a result of the Company's recurring losses from operations and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources of liquidity

To date, the Company has financed operations primarily through public and private offerings of our debt and equity securities and PPP loans that were forgiven.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 5,175,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.58 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, before deducting offering expenses. Additionally, the Company raised approximately $1.4M of net proceeds from an equity line in January 2024 and $0.3M in April 2024, retired approximately $930K of debt in exchange for 930 shares of B-Series preferred stock in August 2024, issued common stock pursuant to our Reg A+ offering of $529K, and issued 1,000 shares of C-Series preferred stock in September 2024 for proceeds of $1.0M.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash, including $10,000 of restricted cash, of $1,322,098. The Company believes that this cash will be sufficient to fund current operating plans into December 2024. The Company has based these estimates, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could spend available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue funding our technology development. Management plans to secure such additional funding.

Operating activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating activities used $4,348,748 of cash. The Company significantly reduced accounts payable, primarily legal expenses that had accrued over time, and significantly reduced accrued expenses including payroll, bonuses, board compensation, and audit fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, operating activities used $2,913,165 of cash. This use of cash consisted primarily of employee compensation and benefit expense, general liability insurance, contractor compensation, and audit and legal fees.

Investing activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, investing activities used $261,220 and $85,603 of cash, respectively. These investing activities consisted almost entirely of patent and license maintenance.

Financing activities

Between January 4 and January 8, 2024, and pursuant to the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to White Lion 452,343 newly issued common shares for proceeds of $1,449,532. On April 26, 2024, the Company issued 1,050,000 common shares for proceeds of $304,500.

Between January 22 and January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a series of exchange agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") with the accredited investors to exchange principal and accrued interest on the May 2023 Notes for shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of 644,142 post-split shares of common stock in exchange for $1,519,779 principal and accrued interest on the May 2023 Notes.

On February 27, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 5,175,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.58 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, before deducting offering expenses. Each Unit was comprised of (i) one share of common stock or, in lieu of common stock, one prefunded warrant to purchase a share of common stock, and (ii) two common warrants, each common warrant to purchase a share of common stock. The prefunded warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.00001 per share of common stock and only expire when such prefunded warrants are fully exercised. The common warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.58 per share of common stock and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

On March 6, 2024, the Company paid $300,973 of principal and accrued interest on the November 2023 Notes.

Between August 12 and August 27, 2024, the Company issued 1,825,000 shares of common stock pursuant to our Reg A+ offering for proceeds of $529K.

On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the accredited investors to exchange $930,052 of principal and accrued interest on the September 2023 Notes for 930 shares of newly issued Series B convertible preferred stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.

On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors for a convertible preferred stock and warrants financing. The Company has received $1,000,000 of gross proceeds in connection with the closing of this financing. The Company issued 1,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price ("Conversion Price") of $0.1759 per share of Common Stock. The Company also issued warrants exercisable for 5,685,049 shares of Common Stock with a 5.5 year term and an initial exercise price of $0.1759 per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold one (1) share of the Company's newly designated Series A preferred stock to Jeffrey Thramann, the Company's Executive Chairman, for a purchase price of $1,000. The share of Series A preferred stock had proportional voting rights that were limited to the proposal to approve a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock. Following the March 24, 2023, special meeting, the Company redeemed the one outstanding share of Series A preferred stock on March 28, 2023, in accordance with its terms. The redemption price was $1,000. No Series A preferred stock remains outstanding.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued $1,437,500 May 2023 Notes, with a maturity date of May 16, 2024, for cash proceeds of $1,250,000. The May 2023 Notes contained an original issue discount of 15.0% and accrued interest at an annual rate of 8.0%.

In September 2023, as agreed to during the issuance of the May 2023 Notes, the Company exercised their right to an additional financing, issuing $862,500 September 2023 Notes that mature on September 1, 2024, for cash proceeds of $750,000. The September 2023 Notes contained an original issue discount of 15.0% and accrued interest at an annual rate of 8.0%.

Funding requirements

Developing medical technology products is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and the Company may never generate meaningful revenues. Accordingly, we may need to obtain substantial additional funds to achieve our business objectives.

Adequate additional funds may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the ownership interest of existing stockholders may be diluted. Any debt or preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends, which could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business, and may require the issuance of warrants, which could potentially dilute existing stockholders' ownership interests.

If we raise additional funds through licensing agreements and strategic collaborations with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technology, future revenue streams, research programs, or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce and/or terminate development of our product candidates or any future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Contractual obligations and commitments

The Company does not have any contractual obligations not otherwise on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2024.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

The Company did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The Company reviewed all recently issued standards and has determined that, as disclosed in Note 4 to our condensed financial statements appearing in this quarterly report, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Emerging growth company and smaller reporting company status

The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to "opt out" of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will not adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for public entities. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies that do not elect the extended transition period.

We are also a "smaller reporting company" meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC's rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to our limited resources our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in providing material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings on a timely basis and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company worked with an outside firm to establish best practices to improve our required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023, due to material weaknesses related to (1) a limited segregation of duties due to our lack of formal control documentation, limited resources, and the small number of employees, and (2) a lack of adequate accounting resources to properly account for complex accounting transactions. Management determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, which could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.

The Company did engage an outside firm in the third quarter of 2023 to provide accounting support and increased segregation of duties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company continued to work with the outside firm to establish best practices over time that enhance internal control over financial reporting.

Other than the applicable remediation efforts described above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in our management's opinion, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations or financial position. There are no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial stockholder 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.

In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those included in such Annual Report except as noted below. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Not applicable.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, no director or officer of the Company adoptedor terminatedor otherwise had in effect a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
