Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and the operating results and cash flows. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other subsequent interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 
Reclassification

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 
Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nexalin and its wholly owned subsidiary Neuro-Health. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates, which may cause the Company’s future results to be affected.
Revenue

Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. At contract inception, the Company determines if the contract is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and then evaluates the contract using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.

 

The Company has existing licensing and treatment fee agreements with its customers for the use of the Nexalin Device in their practices. These agreements generally have terms of one year with automatic renewal if certain requirements are met and amounts due per these agreements are billed monthly. The Company also sells products related to the provision of services. The Company sells its Devices in China to its acting distributor and sells products relating to the use of the Devices. The Company has a Royalty Agreement whereby the manufacturer of the Company’s electrodes pays a royalty to the Company for a three-year period beginning January 1, 2022. The amount of the Royalty is equal to 20% of the amount that the manufacturer invoices to the acting distributor for the sale of the electrodes.

 

Revenue Streams

 

The Company derives revenues from our license agreements by charging a monthly licensing fee for the duration of the agreement. The Company derives revenues from equipment by selling additional individual electrodes to customers for use with the Nexalin Device. We receive revenue from the sale in China of our Devices to our distributor and from the sale of products relating to the use of those Devices. We derive revenue as a royalty fee from the China-based manufacturer for electrodes ordered in connection with our China sales.

 

Performance Obligations

 

Management identified that subsequent licensing revenue has one performance obligation. That performance obligation is satisfied if the licensing contract remains valid and is not terminated. The licensing revenue is invoiced monthly and is recognized at a point in time in which the invoice is sent to the customer.

 

Management identified that the Company’s equipment and Device revenue has one performance obligation. That performance obligation is satisfied when the equipment and Devices are shipped. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time in which the equipment and Devices are shipped to the customer. The Company does not offer a warranty on the equipment or Devices.

 

Management identified that treatment fee revenue has one performance obligation. The performance obligation is satisfied upon the completion of individual treatments on patients by customers.

 

Management identified that royalty revenue has one performance obligation. The performance obligation is satisfied at the time the Electrode manufacturer notifies the Company that it has invoiced the distributor for the sale to the distributor.

 

Practical Expedients

 

As part of ASC 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including:

 

  ● Significant Financing Component — the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers promised goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less.
  ● Unsatisfied Performance Obligations — for all performance obligations related to contracts with a duration of less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC Topic 606 and therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.

 

  ● Shipping and Handling Activities — the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfilment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.

 

  ● Right to invoice — the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date; the Company may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.

Contract Modifications

 

There were no contract modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Contract modifications are not routine in the performance of the Company’s contracts.

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions may at times exceed insured amounts. The Company believes it mitigates such risk by investing in or through, as well as maintaining cash balances with, with major financial institutions.

 
Short-Term Investments

Short-Term Investments

 

The appropriate classification of marketable securities is determined at the time of purchase and evaluated as of each reporting balance sheet date. Investments in marketable debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for equity securities are recognized in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available for sale debt securities are recognized in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses and interest and dividends earned are included in other income, net. For individual debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities, the Company determines whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If the decline below amortized cost is a result of credit loss or the Company will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company will recognize an impairment relating to the decline through an allowance for credit losses. There were no deemed permanent impairments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 
Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivables are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for credit loss. The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides for an allowance for credit loss based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for credit loss when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company did not write off accounts receivable. The Company did not record an allowance for credit loss on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 
Inventory

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods and components stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV) with cost determined on a first-in first-out basis. The Company reviews the composition of inventory at each reporting period in order to identify obsolete quantities in excess of demand, or otherwise non-saleable items. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not write down inventory.

 
Patents and Trademarks

Patents and Trademarks

 

Patents and trademarks are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment when warranted by economic conditions. Amortization expense was $4,786 and $2,662 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

The following table summarizes the gross carrying amount, amortization and the net carrying value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Total December 31, 2024   $ 279,849     $ (19,122 )   $ 260,727  

 
Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment.

 

The Company records valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a full valuation allowance applied against its net tax assets.

 
Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

 

  ● Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

  ● Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

 

  ● Level 3: Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the loans payable approximates the estimated fair value for this financial instrument as management believes that such debt and interest payable on the note approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

 

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, unrealized gain (loss) and the fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

                         
    Amortized
Cost		     Unrealized
Gain (Loss)		     Fair

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The following table summarizes the securities that would be excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise price could be less than the most recent fair value of the common shares:

 

               
    Three Months Ended
March 31,		  
    2025     2024  
Warrants     2,662,250       2,662,250  
Stock options     3,071,635       2,281,879  
Total     5,733,885       4,944,129  

 
Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

For stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options and restricted shares issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.

 
Warrant Accounting

Warrant Accounting

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued private and public warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is assessed as part of this evaluation. During the reporting periods the public warrants were outstanding, they were precluded from liability classification, being equity-classified.

 
Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $406,288 and $105,668 respectively on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 
Equity Method Investments

Equity Method Investments

 

The Company accounts for its investments in common stock or in-substance common stock that give it the ability to exercise significant influence over as an equity method investment in accordance with the guidance in ASC 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Specifically, the company initially recognizes its investment in investees as an asset at cost. Further, the company subsequently measures its investment by recognizing its share of earnings or losses of the investee in the period in which they are reported.

 
Segment Information

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker or decision-making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating and reporting segment, which is the business of designing and developing innovative neurostimulation products.

 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August of 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture (“JV”) Formations: Recognition and Initial Measurement. The guidance requires newly formed JVs to apply a new basis of accounting to all of its contributed net assets, which results in the JV initially measuring its contributed net assets under ASC 805-20, Business Combinations. The new guidance would be applied prospectively and is effective for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this update and will apply during the formation of future joint ventures.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this update effective December 31, 2024, on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 9 for the disclosures related to our single operating segment.

 

In December of 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, establishes incremental disaggregation of income tax disclosures pertaining to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included on the face of the income statement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.
