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 since formation.

 

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. NV Nexalin’s authorized shares of common stock were not affected as a result of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the Merger Agreement, NV Nexalin was dissolved, and Neuro-Health became a subsidiary of Nexalin. Nexalin is headquartered, and maintains its base of management and operations, in Houston, Texas.

 

Our shares and warrants began and continues to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on September 16, 2022, under the symbols “NXL” and “NXLIW”, respectively.

 

Throughout this report, the terms “Nexalin,” “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Nexalin Technology, Inc.

 

Business Overview

 

Gen-1:

 

We design and develop innovative neurostimulation products to uniquely and effectively help combat the ongoing global mental health epidemic. We developed an easy-to-administer medical device — referred to as “Generation 1” or “Gen-1” — that utilizes bioelectronic medical technology to treat anxiety, insomnia and depression without the need for drugs or psychotherapy. Our original Gen-1 devices are cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) devices that emit a waveform at 4 milliamps during treatment and are presently classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) as a Class II device for anxiety and insomnia and Class III for depression.

 

Medical professionals in the United States have utilized the Gen-1 device to administer treatment to patients in clinical settings. While the Gen-1 device had been cleared by the FDA to treat depression, anxiety, and insomnia, three prevalent and serious diseases, because of the FDA’s December 2019 reclassification of CES devices, the Gen-1 device was reclassified as a Class II device for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. We are required to file a new application under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“510(k) Application”) to be approved by the FDA for the sales and marketing of our devices for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. In the FDA’s December 2019 reclassification ruling, the treatment of depression with our device will require a Class III certification and require a new PMA (premarket approval) and/or a new De Novo application to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

 

While we continue providing services to medical professionals to support patients’ use of the Gen-1 devices which were in operation prior to December 2019, we are not making new sales or new marketing efforts of Gen-1 devices in the United States. We continue to derive revenue from devices which we sold or leased prior to the FDA’s December 2019 reclassification announcement. This revenue consists of monthly licensing fees and payments for the sale of electrodes and patient cables. We have paused marketing efforts for new sales of our Gen-1 device for treatment of anxiety and insomnia in the United States. Our regulatory team continues to have discussions with the FDA regarding the suspension of the marketing and sale of the Gen-1 products to new providers.

 

Gen-2 SYNC and Gen-3 HALO:

 

Beginning in 2019, Nexalin engineers began the testing and design of a new advanced 15 milliamp waveform that became the basis of our new “Generation 2” or “Gen-2” and new “Generation 3” or “Gen-3” medical devices. Today the Gen-2 is branded under a new trademark name known as “SYNC”, the Gen-3 is branded under a new trademark name known as “HALO”. The Gen-2 Sync and Gen-3 Halo are in the Q-submission process for review by the FDA. This process allows Nexalin to get clear, specific, written feedback from the FDA on indications, device classification and clarity on the regulatory pathway and improves the efficiency and predictability of the regulatory pathway.

 

We plan to conduct decentralized clinical trials for the Gen-2 Sync and Gen-3 Halo device in the U.S. and we will continue to consult with the FDA as part of the pre-submission process. If and when we obtain FDA clearance for the Gen-2 SYNC and/or the Gen-3 HALO devices, we will begin the commercialization of our devices for sale in the U.S. and other territories, given the potential unmet demand for the treatment of mental health conditions.

 

All determinations of the safety and efficacy of our devices in the United States are solely within the purview of the FDA.

 

Nexalin’s new advanced waveform technology will be emitted at 15 milliamps through our new and improved medical devices referred to as Gen-2 SYNC and Gen-3 HALO. The new Gen-2 SYNC is a clinical use device with a modern enclosure to emit the new 15 milliamp advanced waveform. The Gen-3 HALO is a new patient headset we intend to be prescribed by licensed medical professionals in a virtual clinic setting similar to existing tele-health platforms. The Nexalin research team believes that the new 15 milliamp SYNC and HALO devices can penetrate deeper into the brain and stimulate deep brain structures that contribute to or cause mental illness, which we believe will generate enhanced patient response without any risk or unpleasant side effects. The Nexalin regulatory team is developing strategies for pilot trials and/or pivotal trials for various mental health disease states. In addition, a new PMA application in the United States will be in development for the treatment of depression utilizing both Gen-2 SYNC and Gen-3 HALO. We plan to execute additional pilot trials and/or pivotal trials for the new Gen-3 HALO device for anxiety and insomnia in the United States, Brazil and China throughout 2025. Preliminary data provided by The University of California, San Diego (“UCSD”) and recent published data from Asia supports the safety of utilizing our 15 milliamp waveform technology. However, the determination of safety and efficacy of medical devices in the United States is subject to review by the FDA.

 

Additionally, a new pre-submission document in preparation of a new 510(k) and/or De Novo application for our Gen-3 HALO headset at 15 milliamps was filed with the FDA in January of 2023. Formal comments to our pre-submission document filing were received in March of 2023. A formal meeting to address FDA comments took place on May 9, 2023. Minutes of the meeting with the FDA were filed with the FDA on May 16, 2023.

 

A second FDA pre-submission document was submitted on February 13, 2024. FDA comments to this second pre-submission document were received on April 26, 2024. A formal teleconference was held with the FDA on April 26, 2024. The Nexalin regulatory team and the FDA came to a consensus on the Anxiety and Insomnia Clinical research protocols.

 

Data from these clinical trials will also be used to support an application for the CE-mark of our Gen-2 and new Gen-3 headset devices in the European Union.

 

Joint Venture:

 

On May 31, 2023, the Company formalized an agreement related to the formation of a joint venture established to engage in the clinical development, marketing, sale and distribution of Nexalin’s second generation transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (“tACS”) devices (“Gen-2 devices”) in China and other countries in the region.

 

The joint venture entity formed under the laws of Hong Kong, Nexalin Neurohealth Company Limited (“Joint Venture”), with Wider Come Limited (“Wider”). We own 48% of the equity of the Joint Venture entity, and Wider owns 52% of such equity.

 

Significant aspects of our ongoing clinical trials programs are conducted in Asia, with Wider. In September of 2021, the China National Medical Products Administration (the “NMPA”), the equivalent of the FDA, approved the Gen-2 device for marketing and sale in China for the treatment of insomnia and depression. These treatment indications and clearances from the NMPA have allowed Wider to market and sell the Gen-2 device in China for the treatment of insomnia and depression.

 

As of the date of this Report, (i) we have no employees or offices in China and none of our operations are conducted in China; and (ii) the Joint Venture does not maintain any variable interest entity structure or operate any data center in China.

 

Under the Joint Venture Agreement, Wider, is obligated to fund all operations for the initial 12-month period of the Joint Venture, after which Nexalin and Wider plan to jointly fund the Joint Venture’s operating expenses in accordance with their pro rata ownership. The Company has not been required to contribute any additional funds subsequent to the initial 12-month period to date.

 

The Joint Venture is controlled by a Board of Directors in which Wider is to have sole representation but neither the Company nor Wider has exclusive decision-making ability over day-to-day or significant operational decisions. Wider and Nexalin own 52% and 48% of the Joint Venture, respectively. In accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”) and ASC 810 - Consolidations (“ASC 810”), the Company recognized $0 and ($1,048) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and ($1,291) and $4,492 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

The investment in the Joint Venture is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had an Equity Method Investment of $0 and $864, respectively, recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, included in Other Assets. The Company invested $96,000 in the joint venture in September 2023 and Wider invested $104,000. In accordance with ASC 323, the Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in the Joint Venture, an unconsolidated entity over which it does not have a controlling interest. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the unconsolidated entity’s earnings or losses. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of this investment in the Joint Venture for impairment in accordance with ASC 323. If the Company determines that a loss in the value of the investment is other than temporary, the Company writes down the investment to its estimated fair value. Any such losses are recorded to equity in income of unconsolidated entities in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company has made an election to classify distributions received from the Joint Venture using the nature of the distribution approach. Distributions received are classified as cash inflows from operating activities based on the nature of the activities of the unconsolidated entity.
