NOTE 1 — NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

Nexalin Technology, Inc. (“NV Nexalin”) was formed on October 19, 2010 as a Nevada corporation. The Company’s principal offices are located at 1776 Yorktown, Suite 550, Houston, Texas 77056.

 

On September 6, 2019, Neuro-Health International, Inc. (“Neuro-Health”), a Nevada corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NV Nexalin, was formed. Neuro-Health had no activity from September 6, 2019 (Inception) through the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

On November 22, 2021, NV Nexalin entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nexalin Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nexalin”, or the “Company”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, NV Nexalin merged with and into Nexalin with all shareholders of NV Nexalin receiving one common share of Nexalin in exchange for twenty shares of NV Nexalin held at the time of the Merger Agreement. NV Nexalin treated the transaction as a corporate reorganization with the historical consolidated financial statements of NV Nexalin becoming the historical consolidated financial statements of Nexalin. Nexalin had nominal assets and liabilities and did not conduct any operations prior to the reorganization other than its incorporation. NV Nexalin has retroactively applied the 20-for-1 exchange, effective on November 22, 2021, to share and per share amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. NV Nexalin’s authorized shares of common stock was not affected as a result of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, NV Nexalin was dissolved and Neuro-Health became a subsidiary of Nexalin. The Company completed its initial public offering on September 20, 2022. The initial public offering consisted of 2,315,000 units consisting of 2,315,000 shares of its Common Stock and 2,315,000 accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,315,000 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock is being sold together with one Warrant, each to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of $4.15 per share at a combined offering price of $4.15, for gross proceeds of approximately $9,607,250 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. In addition, Nexalin granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 347,250 shares of common stock and/or Warrants to purchase up to 347,250 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount.

 

The registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261989) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which became effective on September 15, 2022. A final prospectus relating to the offering was filed with the SEC and is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The offering was being made only by means of a prospectus forming part of the effective registration statement.

 

The shares and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on September 20, 2022, under the symbols “NXL” and “NXLIW”, respectively.

 

Business Overview

 

The Company is a medical device company that designs and develops innovative neurostimulation products to help uniquely and effectively combat the ongoing global mental health epidemic. The Nexalin Device (the Device) emits a patented, frequency-based waveform that has been proven to be highly effective in stimulating a positive response from the mid-brain structures associated with various mental health disorders. The Company’s design of an advanced waveform that is safely administered to the human brain is the basis of the Company’s treatment and the evolution of its business strategy.

 

The Company had previously marketed and licensed a Federal Drug Administration approved 4-milliamp device which is a non-invasive drug-free therapy for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. Although the devices are being used in the field and continue to use our single use disposable, we no longer are marketing the 4-milliamp device.

 

We have designed and developed an advanced device. The 4-milliamp device and the advanced device may be referred to as the “Nexalin Device” or “Nexalin Therapy” and, collectively, “Nexalin”. The Company has received approval from the China National Medical Products Administration to market and sell the advanced device in China for the treatment of insomnia and depression. The Company sells the advanced device in China though an acting distributor. It is in the Company’s plan to also achieve regulatory approval for the advanced device in other countries including the United States.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company, nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) characterized the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as COVID-19, as a global pandemic. This has resulted in governments enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to business, resulting in a global economic slowdown. Equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness and the governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions.

 

The current challenging economic climate may lead to adverse changes in cash flows, working capital levels and/or debt balances, which may also have a direct impact on the Company’s operating results and financial position in the future. The ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact and the efficacy of government interventions on the economy has and may continue to indirectly impact the Company because of its current dependence upon its distributor relationship with Wider Come Limited. Wider Come Limited acts as a distributor for the Company’s devices in China and Asia. Because of significant restrictions imposed by the Chinese government during the Covid pandemic, Wider’s ability to market and sell the Company’s devices has been negatively impacted, resulting in decreased revenue to the Company. Patients and salespeople are restricted in their movements resulting in a significant slowdown in the medical and other sectors. Fortunately, our Chinese distributor continues our strategy of multiple clinical studies in the major institution in Beijing in an array of brain related diseases. Significant efforts and funds expended by our Chinese distributor has led to regulatory approval in China in both depression and insomnia thus far which has allowed for sales of our devices in China this year. The extent of future impact will depend on future developments, including future activities by the Chinese government and other possible events which are highly uncertain and not in the Company’s control, including new information which may emerge concerning the spread and severity of COVID-19, or any of its variants, and actions taken to address its impact, among others. The repercussions of this health crisis could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and operating results.

 

In response to COVID-19, the Company has implemented working practices to address potential impacts to its operations, employees and customers, and will take further measures in the future if and as required. At present, we do not believe there has been any appreciable impact on the Company specifically associated with COVID-19.
