NOTE 1 – OrganizationDescription of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

On July 20, 2017, NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (the “Company”), a Delaware Corporation, (the “Company”), through a wholly owned acquisition subsidiary, acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of NeuroOne, Inc. (“NeuroOne”) in a reverse triangular merger and reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was accounted for as a capital transaction, or reverse recapitalization. NeuroOne was the accounting acquirer in this transaction. As such, the historical financial statements of NeuroOne and its predecessor NeuroOne LLC (the “LLC”) reflect operations of the Company for all periods presented prior to the date of Acquisition. NeuroOne, Inc. was formed on October 7, 2016 and acquired the LLC on October 27, 2016 (the “Merger”) as described more fully below. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to the Acquisition include those of the Company, as well as those of its wholly owned subsidiary NeuroOne.

Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company’s operating activities are the same as those of NeuroOne,is an early-stage medical technology company engaged infocused on the development and commercialization of comprehensive neuromodulation cEEGthin film electrode technology for continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG) and sEEG monitoring, ablation, andstereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) recording, brain stimulation and ablation solutions to diagnose and treatfor patients withsuffering from epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors and other related brain related disorders. Additionally, we are investigating the potential applications of our technology associated with artificial intelligence.

To date, the Company has recorded no product sales and has a limited expense history. The Company is a development stage company and its activities to date have included raising capital to fund the development of its proprietary technology and seek regulatory clearances required to initiate commercial activities.

The Company is based in Eden Prairie,Minnetonka, Minnesota.

Acquisition

The transactions contemplated by the agreement were consummated on July 20, 2017 (the “Closing”) and, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, (i) all outstanding shares of common stock of NeuroOne, par value $0.0001 per share (the “NeuroOne Shares”) were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company Shares”) based on the exchange ratio of 17.0103706 Company Shares for every one NeuroOne Share (the “Exchange Ratio”), resulting in the Company issuing, on July 20, 2017, an aggregate of 6,291,994 Company Shares for all of the then-outstanding NeuroOne Shares, (ii) all outstanding options of NeuroOne were replaced with options to purchase Company Shares based on the Exchange Ratio, with corresponding adjustments to their respective exercise prices, pursuant to which the Company reserved 992,265 Company Shares for issuance upon the exercise of options, (iii) all warrants of NeuroOne, Inc. were replaced with warrants to purchase Company Shares and (iv) the Company assumed the outstanding convertible promissory notes of NeuroOne. NeuroOne options had been issued pursuant to the NeuroOne 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company assumed the NeuroOne 2016 Equity Incentive Plan upon the Closing.

Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of NeuroOne Shares in exchange for the issuance of Company Shares and NeuroOne became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Also at the Closing, Mr. Samad (the majority owner of the Company prior to the Acquisition) tendered for cancellation 3,500,000 Company Shares held by him as part of the conditions to Closing.

At the time of Acquisition, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.

All issued and outstanding common stock share amounts, options for common stock and per share amounts contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements were retroactively adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio for all periods presented. The number of authorized shares for common and preferred stock and their respective par values per share as of December 31, 2016 reflect those of the Company prior to the Acquisition.

Merger

The LLC was formed on December 12, 2013 and operated as a limited liability company until it was merged with and into NeuroOne on October 27, 2016 with NeuroOne as the surviving entity of the “Merger”. NeuroOne was formed on October 7, 2016 under different ownership than the LLC. As a result of the Merger, all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the LLC vested in NeuroOne, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the LLC became the debts, liabilities and duties of NeuroOne with the exception of the LLC’s license agreement with Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) which required WARF’s approval for transfer (See Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies). The purpose of the Merger was to change the jurisdiction of NeuroOne’s incorporation from Minnesota to Delaware, change the ownership of the LLC’s underlying assets, and to convert from a limited liability company to a corporation.

NeuroOne and the LLC were not entities under common control. As the LLC did not have an integrated set of activities that contained the required complement of inputs, processes and outputs to be considered a business, the Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition as prescribed under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 –Business Combinations.

 

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements may not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal yearnine month transition period ended December 31, 2016September 30, 2018 included in the NeuroOne CurrentTransition Report on Form 8-K filed on July 20, 2017.10-KT. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016September 30, 2018 was derived from the audited financial statements of NeuroOne.the Company.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

NOTE 2 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $3,699,438$11,810,534 as of September 30, 2017. Prior to the Merger, the LLC also incurred losses since its inception and had cumulative losses of $49,930 as of the date of the Merger.December 31, 2018. The Company does not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations throughout fiscal 20182019 without raising additional funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this condition. Management intends to continue to seek additional financing to fund operations. If the Company is not able to raise additional working capital, it will have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and the development of its technology.

 

Through September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the Company has completed botha $528,000 unsecured loan financing, a $253,000 short-term promissory note financing (which notes were amended and restated to become convertible promissory notes), a $1,625,120 convertible promissory note financing of a planned $2.5 million subscription and a second $1,540,000 convertible promissory note financing of a planned $2 million subscription. In addition, the Company entered into a private placement transaction of its common stock beginning in July 2018, and as replaced in December 2018, whereby $1.9 million in gross proceeds were raised out of a planned $11.8 million maximum under the subscription amounts through December 31, 2018. See Note 13 – Subsequent Events for financings that have closed after December 31, 2018. The Company does not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations throughout fiscal 20172019 without raising additional funds. Management believes that the currently available resources from the short-term promissory note and convertible promissory note financings combined with funds expectedintends to be raised in the last quarter of fiscal 2017 will be sufficientcontinue to enable the Companyseek additional debt and/or equity financing to meet its operating plan through at least September 30, 2018.fund operations. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds, or the Company’s anticipated operating results are not achieved, management believes planned expenditures may need to be reduced in order to extend the time period that existing resources can fund the Company’s operations. If management is unable to obtain the necessary capital, it may have to cease operations.

NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company’s cash is held by one financial institution in the United States. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution is financially sound, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to the financial institution. As of September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the Company did not have deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.amounts by $134,109.

Common Stock Valuation

 

PriorDue to October 27, 2016, the LLC did not maintain a bank account. Any expenses incurred whilelimited market liquidity for the LLC was organized as a limited liability company were paid byCompany’s common stock, the sole memberCompany utilized methodologies in accordance with the framework of the LLC.American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Technical Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, to estimate the fair value of its common stock. The valuation methodology includes estimates and assumptions that require the Company’s judgment. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions affecting the biotechnology industry sector, and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an offering or sale. Significant changes to the key assumptions used in the valuations may result in different fair values of common stock at each valuation date.

The Company estimated its enterprise value on a continuing operations basis, using the market approach, with certain adjustments relating to the thinly traded status of the Company. The traded price of the Company was deemed not to be an entirely reliable indication of fair market value given the lack of trading liquidity. Therefore, in addition to applying partial weighting to the traded price, the Company relied on forward revenue multiples from guideline public companies (“GPC”) for calendar year 2019 and 2020. The resulting equity value from the GPC method was allocated to common stock using the option pricing method, and a discount for lack of marketability was applied. Based on the above methodology and weightings, the Company derived a valuation conclusion of $2.20 and $2.30 per common share as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

 

The fair value the Company’s common stock is used as an input into the fair value determination of the warrants, stock option or other equity awards that the Company has issued or are outstanding liabilities at the reporting date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s accounting for fair value measurements of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring or nonrecurring basis adheres to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the Company at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2018, the fair values of cash, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and the unsecured loanloans approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. The estimated fair value of the short-term promissory notes and the convertible promissory notes of the Company was based on amortized cost which was deemed to approximate fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability and the premium conversion derivativederivatives associated with the convertible promissory notes wasof the Company were based on both the estimated fair value of our common stock of $2.20 and $2.30 as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively, and cash flow models discounted at current implied market rates evidenced in recent arms-length transactions representing expected returns by market participants for similar instruments which wereand are based on Level 3 inputs.

Intellectual Property

NeuroOne and the LLC have

The Company has entered into two licensing agreements with major research institutions, which allows for access to certain patented technology and know-how. Milestone paymentsPayments under those agreements are capitalized and amortized to general and administrative expense over the expected useful life of the acquired technology.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates theirits long-lived assets, which consists entirely of licensed intellectual property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether or not the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. Through September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the Company has not impaired any long-lived assets.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction of the short-termconvertible promissory notes and convertible promissory notes.when applicable. Amortization of debt issuance costs is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of respective short-term andthe convertible promissory notes, which approximates the effective interest method, and is recorded in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses may compriseinclude costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and pre-clinical materials as well as other contracted services, license fees, and other external costs. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received, rather than when payment is made, in accordance with ASC 730,Research and Development.

 

Warrant Liability

The Company issued warrants to purchase equity securities in connection with the issuance or amendment of the convertible promissory notes (see Note 8 – Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrant Agreements).notes. The Company accounts for these warrants as a liability at fair value aswhen the number of shares wereis not fixed and determinable at the issuance date.in cases where warrant pricing protections in future equity financings are not available to other common stockholders. Additionally, issuance costs associated with the warrantswarrant liability are expensed as incurred and reflected as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjustadjusts the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant,warrants for any period when pricing protections in future equity financings remain in place, or until such time, if any, as the number of shares to be exercised becomes fixed, at which point the warrants will be classified in stockholders’ (deficit) equity provided that there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to settle the warrants and redeem any other contracts that may require settlement in shares of common stock. Any future change in fair value of the warrant liability, will bewhen outstanding, is recognized as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Premium Debt Conversion DerivativeDerivatives

The Company evaluates all conversion and redemption features contained in a debt instrument to determine if there are any embedded derivatives that require separation from the host debt instrument. An embedded derivative that requires separation is bifurcated from its host debt instrument and a corresponding discount to the host debt instrument is recorded. The discount is amortized and recorded to interest expense over the term of the host debt instrument using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.  The separated embedded derivative is accounted for separately on a fair market value basis. The Company records the fair value changes of a separated embedded derivative to interest expense at each reporting period. The Company issued convertible promissory notes that contained a 125% conversion premiumperiod in the event that a qualified financing occurs at a price under $2.25 per common share (see Note 8 – Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrant Agreements). We also issued 2017 Convertible Notes that contained a 125% conversion premium in the event that a qualified financing occurs at a price under $2.8125 per common share (see Note 13 – Subsequent Events).condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company determined that the redemption featurefeatures under the convertible promissory notes qualified as an embedded derivativederivatives and waswere separated from itstheir debt host.

Income Taxes

For NeuroOne,the Company, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion ofor all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

The LLC operated as a single-member LLC from formation on December 12, 2013 until it was merged into NeuroOne on October 27, 2016. As such, it was a disregarded legal entity for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was included in the financial statements for the period from January 1, 2016 through October 26, 2016.

Net Loss Per Share

The LLC was a single-member LLC for which no units were outstanding. Accordingly, earnings per share is not presented for the LLC.

 

For NeuroOne,the Company, basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted earnings or loss per share of common stock is computed similarly to basic earnings or loss per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents, if dilutive. The Company’s stock options, convertible promissory notes, warrants, and warrantsstock options while outstanding are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. Diluted earnings is computed utilizing the treasury method for the warrants and stock options and warrants.options. Diluted earnings with respect to the convertible promissory notes utilizing the if-converted method was not applicable during the three and nine monthsmonth periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017 as no conditions required for conversion had occurred during these periods. No incremental common stock equivalents were included in calculating diluted loss per share because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive given the net loss reported for the three and nine monthsmonth periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

The following potential common shares were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017:

  2018  2017 
Warrants  3,257,572(1)  189,750(1)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 for public entities and for all other entities in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this new guidance and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11,Earnings Per Share, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and Derivatives and Hedging, which changes the accounting and earnings per share for certain instruments with down round features. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal year or retrospective adjustment to each period presented and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public business entities, and after December 15, 2019 for all other entities, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this new guidance and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2018-07), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should generally apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except in circumstances where there is specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The guidance also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(ASC 606). This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). The new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 as follows:

 9Removals: the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements.

 Modifications: for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; and the amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date.

 

Additions: the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should all be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

NOTE 4 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

WARF License AgreementLegal

On October 1, 2014,

From time to time, the LLC entered into an exclusive start-up company license agreementCompany is subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  In May 2017, NeuroOne received a letter from PMT Corporation (“PMT”), the former employer of Mark Christianson and Wade Fredrickson.  PMT claimed that these officers had breached their restrictive covenant obligations with PMT by virtue of their work for NeuroOne and such officer’s prior work during employment with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) for WARF’s neural probe arrayprior employer, that these officers had breached their confidentiality and thin film electrode technology (the “2014 WARF Agreement”). The LLC wasnon-disclosure obligations to make $110,000 in milestone payments depending on achievement of certain developmentPMT and approval milestones or within twelve months of signing the 2014 WARF Agreement. Additionally, if the LLC was successful in obtaining regulatory approval, the LLC was to pay royalties to WARF on a percentage of net sales of products of the licensed technology. Under the terms of the 2014 WARF Agreement, amounts that remained unpaid more than 30 days after they were due, accrued interest at 1 percent per month. Milestone payments due in 2015 were not made to WARF. From October 27, 2016 until the 2014 WARF Agreement was amended as described below, the LLC was in default under the 2014 WARF Agreement. In addition, the LLC was not able to transfer the rightsfederal and obligations under the 2014 WARF Agreement to NeuroOne at the time of the Merger (October 27, 2016) without the consent of WARF, which was received when the 2014 WARF Agreement was amended in February 2017 as described below. In connection with the Mergerstate law by misappropriating confidential and in accordance with ASC 805-50, NeuroOne estimated the fair value of consideration payable to WARFtrade secret information, and recorded an intangible asset of $90,000 with a corresponding accrued expense.

This agreement was subsequently amended in February 2017 (as so amended, the “2017 WARF Agreement”) whereby WARF consented to the transfer of the rights and obligations under the license agreement from the LLC to NeuroOne (which are now the Company’s rights and obligations, following the Acquisition). In the 2017 WARF Agreement, a contingent payment amount of $120,000 is due in the event that the Company completesis responsible for tortious interference with the contracts.  The letter demanded that Mr. Fredrickson (who resigned from the Company in June 2017), Mr. Christianson and NeuroOne cease and desist all competitive activities, that Mr. Fredrickson step down from his position and that Mr. Christianson and NeuroOne provide the former employer access to NeuroOne’s systems to demonstrate that it is not using trade secrets or proprietary information nor competing with the former employer.

On March 29, 2018, the Company was served with a qualified financing.complaint filed by PMT adding the Company, NeuroOne and Mr. Christianson to its existing lawsuit against Mr. Fredrickson.  In the lawsuit, PMT claims that Mr. Fredrickson and Mr. Christianson breached their non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disclosure obligations, breached their fiduciary duty obligations, were unjustly enriched, engaged in unfair competition, engaged in a civil conspiracy, tortiously interfered with PMT’s contracts and prospective economic advantage, and breached a covenant of good faith and fair dealing.  Against Mr. Fredrickson, PMT also alleges that he intentionally or negligently spoliated evidence, made negligent or fraudulent misrepresentations, misappropriated trade secrets in violation of Minnesota law, and committed the tort of conversion and statutory civil theft.  Against the Company and NeuroOne, PMT alleges that the Company and NeuroOne were unjustly enriched and engaged in unfair competition.  PMT asked the Court to impose a constructive trust over the shares held by Mr. Fredrickson and Mr. Christianson and to award compensatory damages, equitable relief, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest. 

On April 18, 2018, Mr. Christianson, the Company and NeuroOne, Inc. filed a motion for dismissal, which was heard by the Court on October 11, 2018. The motion for dismissal states that: the contract claims against Mr. Christianson fail because his agreement was not supported by consideration; the Minnesota Uniform Trade Secrets Act preempts plaintiff’s claims for unfair competition, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment; plaintiff fails to state a claim regarding alleged breach of the duties of loyalty and good faith/fair dealing; plaintiff cannot legally obtain a constructive trust; plaintiff has insufficiently pled its tortious interference claims; and Plaintiff has not stated a claim for unfair competition. On January 7, 2019, the judge granted the motion for dismissal with respect to PMT’s claim for breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and denied the motion for dismissal with respect to the other claims presented. The Company, is also obligated to pay royalties to WARF based on a percentage of net sales of products of licensed technology with minimum royalties of $50,000NeuroOne, Inc. and $100,000Mr. Christianson (who has not worked for calendar years 2019 and 2020, respectively, and $150,000 per year beginning in 2021 through the duration of the 2017 WARF Agreement. Subject to earlier termination, the WARF License otherwise expires by its terms on the date that no valid claims on the patents licensed thereunder remain. The Company expects the latest expiration of a licensed patent to occur in 2030. The 2017 WARF Agreement is also subject to certain cancellation provisions with 90 days’ notice should the Company elect notPMT since February 2012) intend to continue to use the licensed technology.defend themselves vigorously.

 

The Company has agreed to diligently develop, manufacture, marketoutcome and sell products under the WARF License in the United States during the term of the agreement and, specifically, that the Company will submit a business plan to WARF by February 1, 2018 and file an application for 510(k) marketing clearance with the FDA by February 1, 2019. WARF may terminate the 2017 WARF Agreement in the event that the Company fails to meet these milestones on 30 days’ written notice, if the Company defaults on the payments of amounts due to WARF or fails to timely submit development reports, actively pursue the development plan or breaches any other covenant in the 2017 WARF Agreement and fails to remedy such default in 90 days or in the event of certain bankruptcy events involving the Company. WARF may also terminate this license (i) on 90 days’ notice if the Company fails to have commercial sales of one or more FDA-approved products under the 2017 WARF Agreement by March 31, 2019 or (ii) if, after royalties earned on sales begin to be paid, such earned royalties cease for more than four calendar quarters.

Mayo Agreement

On October 3, 2014, the LLC entered into an exclusive license and development agreement with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”)potential loss related to certain intellectual propertythis matter is unknown and development servicesno reserve has been accrued for thin film electrode technology (“2014 Mayo Agreement”). The LLC was to make milestone payments depending on achievement of certain development and approval milestones and sales targets, none of which were met as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, if the LLC was successful in obtaining regulatory approval, the LLC was to pay royalties to Mayo based on a percentage of net sales of products2018 and as of the licensed technology through the termissuance of the 2014 Mayo Agreement, set to expire May 25, 2037. Also, the LLC was obligated to issue common stock to Mayo if certain events occurred. Upon the LLC’s Merger with NeuroOne on October 27, 2016, the rights under the 2014 Mayo Agreement transferred to NeuroOne, and certain milestones were attained. Therefore, NeuroOne recorded $300 related to 10,000 shares of common stock issued to Mayo and $91,709 for the intellectual property. Milestone payments due under the 2014 Mayo Agreement and accrued were $91,709 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Under the terms of the 2014 Mayo Agreement, amounts that remained unpaid accrued interest at 2 percent above the prime rate. Milestone payments due in 2016 were not made to Mayo. As such, prior to the amendment of the 2014 Mayo Agreement in May 2017), NeuroOne was in default under the 2014 Mayo Agreement. Mayo and NeuroOne amended and restated the 2014 Mayo Agreement in May 2017 (as so amended and restated, the “2017 Mayo Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2017 Mayo Agreement, NeuroOne issued 50,556 shares of common stock to Mayo to settle the amount of common stock NeuroOne was previously obligated to issue under the 2014 Mayo Agreement and to amend the terms of the 2014 Mayo Agreement. NeuroOne recorded an additional $23,115 to intangible assets related to the fair value of the 2017 stock issuance to Mayo. As a part of the 2017 Mayo Agreement, as amended in November 2017, the $91,709 milestone payment is to be paid upon the earlier of a qualified financing or December 31, 2017.

The November 2017 amendment to the notes resulted in a substantial modification to the original Convertible Notes whereby the maturity date was extended and the terms associated with the Warrants were revised. The Company recorded the Convertible Note amendment under the provisions of extinguishment accounting. The fair value of the underlying Convertible Notes was $97,223 lower than the carrying value of the Convertible Notes on the date of the modification. The $97,223 difference was recorded as a discount to the debt with a gain on convertible note extinguishments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The discount of $97,223 was then amortized from November 21, 2017 to December 31, 2017 totaling $15,756.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, interest on the principal was $32,502 and interest related to amortization of discounts related to the bifurcation of premium derivative liability, separation of warrants, revaluation discounts and issuance costs amounted to $261,749. The fair value changes related to the underlying premium conversion derivative and warrant liability amounted to a benefit of ($108,641) and an expense of $272,059, respectively, during the three month period ended December 31, 2017.

 

As noted above, the Convertible Notes were converted into shares of September 30, common stock and not outstanding during the three month period ended December 31, 2018.

2017 Convertible Notes

From October 2017 to May 2018, the Company has issued $1,625,120convertible notes (the “2017 Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes and common stock purchase warrants to investors. The Convertible Notes are unsecured. The Convertible Notes$1,540,000 that bear interest at a fixed rate of 8 percent8% per annum and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (the “New Warrants”). The Company initially entered into a subscription agreement with certain accredited investors and closed the initial private placement of the 2017 Convertible Notes in October 2017. In December 2017, the Company and holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes entered into an amended and restated subscription agreement to amend the terms of the 2017 Convertible Notes and New Warrants. On December 31, 2018, the 2017 Convertible Notes were amended again to extend the maturity date from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The amendment was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring given the Company’s financial condition and given the concession granted by the lenders with regards to pushing out the maturity date to June 30, 2019 with no corresponding compensation paid for the extension. The future undiscounted cash flows of the of the 2017 Convertible Notes as amended exceeded their carrying value as of December 31, 2018. As such, no gain was recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and no adjustments were made to the 2017 Convertible Note carrying value.

The 2017 Convertible Notes require the Company to repay the principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon aton June 30, 2019 (the “2017 Convertible Notes Maturity Date”). If the earlier of November 21, 2017 or the consummation of the nextCompany consummates an equity or equity-linked round of financing resulting in more than $3.0$3 million in gross proceeds (a “Qualifiedbefore June 30, 2019 (the “2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing”). If a Qualified Financing occurs before November 21, 2017,, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2017 Convertible Notes shall automatically convertsconvert into the securities issued by the Company in the 2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing equal to the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2017 Convertible Notes divided by 80% of the price per share of the securities issued by the Company in the 2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing. The New Warrants also become exercisable upon a 2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing for an amount of shares equal to the number of shares received by the holder in the 2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing at the same price per share of the securities issued in the 2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing.

Prior to the December 2017 amendment, if the Company had raised more than $3,000,000 in an equity financing before October 4, 2022, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2017 Convertible Notes would have automatically converted into the securities issued by the Company in such financing based on the greater number of such securities resulting from either (i) the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2017 Convertible Notes divided by $1.80,$2.25 or (ii) the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2017 Convertible Notes multiplied by 1.25, divided by the price paid per security in such financing. The New Warrants would have also become exercisable in conjunction with the 2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing. If the Company fails to complete a Qualified Financing by November 21, 2017, the Convertible Notes will be immediately due and payable on such date.

IfLastly, if a change of control transaction or initial public offering occurs prior to the earlier of a 2017 Convertible Notes Qualified Financing or the 2017 Convertible Notes Maturity Date, the 2017 Convertible Notes would, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal of the 2017 Convertible Notes, either become payable on demand as of the closing date of such transaction, or become convertible into shares of common stock immediately prior to such transaction at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the per share value of the common stock as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors as if in connection with the granting of stock based compensation or in a private sale to a third party in an arms’ lengtharms-length transaction or (ii) at the per share consideration to be paid in such transaction. Change of control means a merger or consolidation with another entity in which the Company’s stockholders do not own more than 50 percent50% of the outstanding voting power of the surviving entity or the disposition of all or substantially all of the assetsCompany’s assets. The New Warrants also become exercisable upon a change of control transaction for an amount of shares equal to the Company.number of shares received by the holder upon conversion in connection with such transaction at the same price per share that the 2017 Convertible Notes converted in the change of control transaction.

 

The warrants granted holdersDecember 2017 amendment resulted in a substantial modification to the optionoriginal 2017 Convertible Notes whereby the maturity date was moved up to purchase either (i) if exercised after conversionDecember 2018 from October 2022 and the terms associated with the embedded features were revised as described previously. The Company recorded the 2017 Convertible Note amendment under the provisions of extinguishment accounting. The fair value of the underlying Convertible Notes was $294,615 higher than the carrying value of the Convertible Notes net of unamortized debt discount on the number of shares issuable upon the conversiondate of the modification. The $294,615 difference as well as legal costs associated with the amendment in the amount of $8,945 were recorded as a loss on convertible notes extinguishment totaling $303,560 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017. After the modification, there remained a debt discount of $27,371 of which $6,574 and $1,286 was amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

The 2017 Convertible Notes or (ii) if exercised prior tocontain a conversion discount in the event of thea 2017 Convertible Notes the number of shares of common stockQualified Financing to equal to the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2017 Convertible Note held by such warrant holderNotes divided by $1.80. The warrants were immediately exercisable on80% of the dateprice per share of issuance and expire on November 21, 2021. In June 2017, however,the securities issued by the Company amendedin the terms of the common stock purchase warrants under the2017 Convertible Notes to be exercisable only in the event of conversion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the related Convertible Notes.Qualified Financing. The amount of warrant shares to be issued are now fixed to the number of shares of common stock received by the holder of the Convertible Notes upon conversion of such holder’s Convertible Notes, and to an exercise price equal to the price at which the Convertible Notes convert into common shares.

The warrants were accounted for as a liability because there is no set exercise price. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to estimate the aggregate fair value of the warrants as of September 30, 2017. Input assumptions used were as follows: risk-free interest rate 1.79 percent; expected volatility 50 percent; expected life 4.14 years; and expected dividend yield 0 percent. The underlying stock price used in the analysis is on a non-marketable basis and is according to a separate 409A valuation analysis. The convertible promissory note proceeds assigned to the warrants were $440,919 and $345,640 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from October 7, 2016 to December 31, 2016, respectively, which represented their fair value at issuance, and were discounted from the Convertible Notes and reflected as a warrant liability. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. The amortization expense was $284,637 and $601,794 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recorded the fair value changes of the warrant liability associated with the Convertible Notes to interest expense which amounted to $6,546 and $(12,707) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

At the time of their issuance, the Convertible Notes contained a 125% conversion premium in the event that a Qualified Financing occurs at a price under $2.25 per common share. The Company determined that the redemptionembedded feature under the Convertible Notes qualified as an embedded derivative and was separated from its debt host. The bifurcation of the embedded derivative from its debt host resulted in a discount to the 2017 Convertible Notes in the amount of $213,961 and $137,564$128,525 for the convertible debt issued during the ninethree months ended September 30,December 31, 2017; there were no issuances of 2017 andConvertible Notes during the period from October 7, 2016 tothree months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.2018. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2017 Convertible Notes using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. The amortization expense was $133,367$62,158 and $266,848$3,815 for the three and nine month periodmonths ended September 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The embedded derivative wasis accounted for separately on a fair market value basis. The Company recorded the fair value changes of the premium debt conversion derivative associated with all of the 2017 Convertible Notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations which amounted to an expense of $6,265 and $466 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The New Warrants were deemed to be a free-standing instrument and were accounted for as a liability given the variable number of shares issuable in connection with a change of control conversion event. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to estimate the aggregate fair value of the New Warrants. Input assumptions used were as follows: risk-free interest rate of 2.52% and 2.94% as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively; expected volatility of 50% as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018; expected life of 5.25 and 5.21 years as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively; and expected dividend yield of 0% as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The underlying stock price used in the analysis was on a non-marketable basis and was according to the market approach, considering both the traded price and forward multiples from guideline public companies, using allocation and marketability-discount methodologies. The 2017 Convertible Note proceeds assigned to the New Warrants were zero and $336,571 during the three month period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which represented their fair value at issuance and were discounted from the 2017 Convertible Notes and reflected as a warrant liability. The discount was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2017 Convertible Notes using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. The amortization expense was $163,060 and $9,971 for the three month period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company also recorded the fair value changes of the warrant liability associated with all of the 2017 Convertible Notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations which amounted to $15,406an expense of $6,689 and $90,212a benefit of ($1,337) for the three and nine months ended September 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

In connection with the 2017 Convertible Notes, the Company incurred original cost of issuance in the amount of $8,133 which consisted of legal costs and was recorded as an issuance cost discount to the 2017 Convertible Notes, of which $1,431 and $157 was amortized to interest expense during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In connection with the Convertible Notes, the Company incurred issuance costs in the amount of $151,915, which included (i) a placement agent cash fee, which was $113,610 for the Convertible Notes issued through June 19, 2017 (ii) the obligation to issue a warrant to the placement agent (the “placement agent warrant”) which will have an exercise price of $2.00 per share of common stock and had a total fair value of $4,855 at September 30, 2017 and (iii) legal expenses of $33,450. The placement agent warrant is issuable at the time the private placement transaction closes. The placement agent warrant will be immediately exercisable on the date of issuance and will expire five years following the date of issuance. The placement agent is to receive a placement agent warrant to purchase shares of common stock in an amount equal to 8 percent of the common stock (or common stock equivalents) purchased by investors in the private placement transaction. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has an obligation to issue a placement agent warrant for the purchase of approximately 63,000 and 29,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The Company recorded an issuance cost discount to the Convertible Notes in the amount of $39,781 and $37,469 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from October 7, 2016 to December 31, 2016, respectively, of which $27,317 and $59,184 was amortized to interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The balance of the issuance costs in the amount of zero and $38,119 was attributed to the common stock purchase warrants and was immediately recorded as interest expense upon issuance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The placement agent is also entitled to receive warrants to purchase common stock in an amount equal to 10 percent of the common stock (common stock equivalents) purchased by certain investors in subsequent equity financing rounds (see Note 13 – Subsequent Events). Such warrants if issued will have an exercise price determined in relation to the pricing of the subsequent financing rounds and will be immediately exercisable once issued.

NOTE 9 – Investment Banker FeeDefined Contribution Plan

 

Investment Banker Fee

NeuroOne paidThe Company adopted a $50,000 non-refundable fee401(k) defined contribution plan (the “401K Plan”) on January 1, 2017, which was amended and restated on March 1, 2018 (the “Restatement”), for all employees over age 21. Employees can defer up to an investment banker100% of their compensation through payroll withholdings into the 401K Plan subject to federal law limits. The Company began matching in December 2016the fourth quarter of 2017 on deferrals at 100% of deferrals up to raise equity financing. This fee is reflected3% of one’s contributions and 50% on deferrals over 3%, but not exceeding 5% of one’s contributions up through the Restatement. The Company’s matching contributions to employee deferrals became discretionary after the Restatement. The Company may also make discretionary profit sharing contributions under the 401K Plan in NeuroOne’sthe future, but it has not done so through December 31, 2016 balance sheet as2018.

250,000 shares of common stock were reserved in February 2018 as a result of a consulting agreement for investor relations services executed in February 2018. Under the agreement, 50,000 shares of common stock were awarded during the three month period ended December 31, 2018 on a time-based vesting condition that was met in November 2018. The compensation expense related to the vested common shares was included in the total stock-based services expense referenced above which totaled $115,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2018. The expense was based on the fair value of the underlying common stock at the point of vesting which was $2.30 per share. The underlying stock price used in the analysis was on a non-marketable basis and was according to the market approach, considering both the traded price and forward multiples from guideline public companies, using allocation and marketability-discount methodologies. As of November 2018, all shares under the February 2018 share reserve were issued, but were not eligible for issuance under either of the 2016 or 2017 Plans as the consulting contract was not with an individual.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a formal obligation to issue future common stock options relating to a consulting agreement. The estimated liability associated with the vested portions of these awards was recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018. The corresponding stock-based services expense related to the stock-based award liability amounted to $3,980 during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and was included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was no unrecognizedcorresponding stock-based services expense during the three month period ended December 31, 2017.

The number of option shares and pricing under the consulting agreement will not be set until the occurrence of the award date which is defined as the earlier to occur of a public offering, qualified financing, or June 30, 2019. The number of option shares under the agreement is based on a $3,000 monthly compensation cost for stock options and restrictedamount divided by the fair value of the underlying common stock on the award date. The exercise price will also be set at the fair value of the underlying common stock on the award date. The liability associated with the unissued options was based on an option share equivalent estimate that reflects the portion of the award where performance vesting conditions have been met as of September 30, 2017.December 31, 2018 and was based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2018 as the award date has not occurred. The common stock fair value on December 31, 2018 was $2.20 per share and was determined based on a non-marketable basis and was according to the market approach, considering both the traded price and forward multiples from guideline public companies, using allocation and marketability-discount methodologies. The total accrued liability for this award at December 31, 2018 was $15,133.

The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows for the stock- option liability during the three month period ended December 31, 2018:

2018
Expected stock price volatility49.8%
Expected life of options (years)5
Expected dividend yield0%
Risk free interest rate2.5%

Upon the issuance of all of the unissued options associated with the stock-based award liabilities, the estimated number of shares available for future issuance as of December 31, 2018 would be reduced from 1,533,596 shares to 1,518,596 shares as a result of the potential stock option issuance under the second consulting agreement.

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes

  

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017 was zero percent. As a result of the analysis of all available evidence as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2018, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Consequently, the Company reported no income tax benefit during the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017. If the Company’s assumptions change and the Company believes that it will be able to realize these deferred tax assets, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be recognized as a reduction of future income tax expense.  If the assumptions do not change, each period the Company could record an additional valuation allowance on any increases in the deferred tax assets.

 

The LLC operated as a single-member LLC from formation on December 12, 2013 until it was merged into NeuroOne on October 27, 2016. As such, the LLC was a disregarded legal entity for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was included in the financial statements for the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2016.

The Company issued 2019 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $295,000 from January 1, 2019 through February 12, 2019.  See Note 12 – Stockholders Deficit for more information on the 2019 Units.

In February 2019, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreementamended its engagement letter with HRA Capital (“HRA”), acting through its affiliate, Corinthian Partners, LLC, each of which are affiliates of one of the Company’s greater than 5% stockholders. Pursuant to the original agreement (prior to the amendment), the Company agreed to pay HRA 10% of the gross proceeds (the “Subscription Agreement”“HRA Fee”) with certain accredited investors (the “Subscribers”), pursuant to whichreceived by the Company in asubsequent private placement transactions from investors with whom HRA or Corinthian Partners, LLC had material contact with for purposes of the engagement letter (the “Private Placement”“Prospects”), provided such compensation would only be paid in connection with private placement transactions that closed within 12 months of the expiration of the engagement letter (the “Tail Period”). The Company agreed to issue and sell to the Subscribers 8% convertible promissory notes (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “2017 Convertible Notes”) andHRA warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock.

The initial closing of the Private Placement was consummated on October 4, 2017, and, on that date, the Company issued Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000 to the Subscribers. Between November 2, 2017 and November 7, 2017, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with additional Subscribers, and issued Notes in a principal amount of $215,000 to those Subscribers. The Company may conduct any number of additional closings so long as the final closing occurs on or before the five-month anniversary of the initial closing date and the amount does not exceed $1,000,000 or a higher amount determined by the Board of Directors.

The 2017 Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum and require the Company to repay the principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon on October 4, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company raises more than $3,000,000 in an equity financing before the Maturity Date (the “Qualified Financing”), the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2017 Convertible Notes shall automatically convert into the securities issued by the Company in such financing based on the greater number of such securities resulting from either (i) the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2017 Convertible Notes divided by $2.25 or (ii) the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Notes multiplied by 1.25, divided by the price paid per security in such financing. If a change of control transaction occurs prior to the earlier of a Qualified Financing or the Maturity Date, the 2017 Convertible Notes would, at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal of the 2017 Convertible Notes, either become payable on demand as of the closing date of such transaction or become convertible into shares ofCommon Stock (or common stock immediately prior to such transaction at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the per share value of the common stock as determined by our Board of Directors as if in connection with the granting of stock based compensation or in a private sale to a third party in an arms’ length transaction or (ii) at the per share consideration to be paid in such transaction (the date of any such conversion of the 2017 Convertible Notes pursuant to this paragraph, is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”). Change of control means a merger or consolidation with another entity in which our stockholders do not own more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the surviving entity or the disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Each New Warrant grants the holder the option to purchase the number of shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the conversion of the 2017 Convertible Notes held by such holder at a per share exercise price equal to the price at which the 2017 Convertible Notes converted. The New Warrants are exercisable commencing on the Conversion Date and expire on the five year anniversary of the Conversion Date. The exercise price and number of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercising the New Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described therein.

Such warrant, if issued will have an exercise price determined in relation toProspects during the pricing of the subsequent financing and will be immediately exercisable once issued.Tail Period (“HRA Warrants”).

 

In such subsequent equity financing rounds,February 2019, the placement agentCompany and HRA agreed (i) to extend the Tail Period until June 30, 2019, (ii) to modify the HRA Fee so that HRA is also entitled to receive a cash fee equal to 10 percent8% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from Prospects in all subsequent private placement transactions and (iii) to modify the HRA Warrants so that they are exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock (or common stock equivalents) in an amount equal to 8% of the shares of Common Stock purchased by Prospects in subsequent private placements (collectively, the “HRA Amendments”). Upon issuance, the HRA Warrants will be immediately exercisable and expire five years from the closing of the related transaction.

The cash commission and broker’s commission to be received by Paulson were not impacted by the changes to the agreement between the Company and HRA.

2018 Private Placement – Broker Compensation Change

In connection with the 2018 Private Placement, the Company agreed to pay the brokers a cash commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Units sold to investors by such brokers. In addition to the brokers’ commission, the Company agreed to issue 5-year warrants to the brokers to purchase an amount of Common Stock equal to 10% of the total amount of capitalshares sold by such brokers in the 2018 Private Placement, at an exercise price of $3.45 per share.

Notwithstanding the Company’s agreement to pay to brokers the 10% cash commission and issue warrants for 10% of the shares sold in the 2018 Private Placement, the HRA Amendments modified the broker commission arrangements with respect to HRA. HRA was the only broker in the 2018 Private Placement.Pursuant to the Company’s engagement letter with HRA (acting through the registered broker-dealer, Corinthian Partners, LLC), as amended in February 2019 by the HRA Amendments, the Company agreed to pay HRA a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds received by the Company as well as a cashfrom Prospects in the 2018 Private Placement and to issue warrants exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock (or common stock equivalents) in an amount representing a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3%8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in such financing.

Subscription Agreements

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company is entitled to receive noticeshares of Common Stock purchased by Prospects in the event a holder elects to sell or receives a bona fide offer for any portion of the 2017 Convertible Notes or New Warrants, and the right to purchase the 2017 Convertible Notes or New Warrants on the same terms as the proposed sale or bona fide offer, as applicable, as long as the Company exercises that right within 15 days of receiving written notice.

Overview

 

We were originally incorporated in the State of Nevadaare a medical technology company focused on August 20, 2009 as Original Source Entertainment, Inc. (“OSE”). OSE was originally formed to license songs to the television and movie industry. From our inception and prior to the acquisition of NeuroOne, Inc. on July 20, 2017 (the “Acquisition”), as described more fully below, our operations have been primarily limited to organizational, start-up, and capital formation activities. Upon completion of the Acquisition, more fully described below, our operations consist of the development and commercialization of comprehensive neuromodulation cEEGthin film electrode technology for continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG) and sEEG monitoring, ablation, andstereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) recording, brain stimulation and ablation solutions to diagnose and treatfor patients withsuffering from epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors and other related brain related disorders.

The Acquisition was accounted for as a capital transaction, or reverse recapitalization. As a result, the financial information contained in the Report reflect solely the operations of NeuroOne, Inc. (“NeuroOne”) and its predecessor NeuroOne LLC (the “LLC”).

We had very limited resources prior to our convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Notes”) and warrant financings commencing in November 2016. To date, our primary activities have been limited to, and our limited resources have been dedicated to, performing business and financial planning, raising capital, recruiting personnel, negotiating with business partners and the licensors of our intellectual property and conducting research and development activities. Our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology is still under development, we do not yet have regulatory approval in any jurisdiction to sell any products and to date, we have not generated any revenue.

 

We have incurred losses since inception. As of September 30 2017,December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,699,438,$11.8 million, primarily as a result of expenses incurred in connection with our research and development programs, and from general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. The LLC, prioroperations and interest expense related to the merger with NeuroOne, also incurred losses since its inception and had cumulative losses of $49,930 as of the date of the October 26, 2016 merger.our debt. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future.

We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain marketing authorization to sell our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology from applicable regulatory authorities.

 

Our primary source of cash to date has been proceeds from the issuances of short-term promissory notes (the “Short-Term Notes”), Convertible Noteswith warrants and common stock purchasewith warrants (the “Warrants”). From November 2016 to September 2017,and unsecured loans. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Historical Capital Resources” below.

At December 31, 2018, we issued Short-Term Notes (in aggregate principal amount of $253,000)had $0.4 million in cash deposits. Our existing cash and Warrants resulting in net proceeds of $249,970, and Convertible Notes (in aggregate principal amount of $1,625,120) and Warrants, for aggregate net proceeds of $1,511,510cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations.

On October 4, 2017, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which we,operating expenses in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), agreed to issue and sell to the Subscribers 8% convertible promissory notes (each, a “Note” and collectively, (the “2017 Convertible Notes”) and warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase shares of our common stock.

The initial closing of the Private Placement was consummated on October 4, 2017, and, on that date, we issued Notes (in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000) to the Subscribers. Between November 2, 2017 and November 7, 2017, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements under the Private Placement with additional Subscribers, and issued Notes (in an aggregate principal amount of $215,000) to those Subscribers. We may conduct any number of additional closings so long as the final closing occurs on or before the five-month anniversary of the initial closing date and the amount does not exceed $1,000,000 or a higher amount determined by our Board of Directors.

We need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise such capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop and commercialize our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology and future products and our ability to pursue our business strategy. See “–“—Liquidity and Capital Requirements”Resources—Funding Requirements and Outlook” below.

Acquisition

On July 20, 2017, we entered into a merger agreement with NeuroOne and OSOK Acquisition Company to acquire NeuroOne. The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement were consummated on July 20, 2017 and, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, (i) all outstanding NeuroOne Shares were exchanged for Company Shares based on the Exchange Ratio of 17.0103706 Company Shares for every one NeuroOne Share, (ii) all NeuroOne Options were replaced with options (“Company Options”) based on the Exchange Ratio, with corresponding adjustments to their respective exercise prices, (iii) all NeuroOne Warrants were replaced with Company Warrants and (iv) we assumed the outstanding Convertible Notes of NeuroOne. Accordingly, we acquired 100% of NeuroOne, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock and NeuroOne became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Our sole business is the business of NeuroOne. Our management’s discussion and analysis below is based on the financial results of NeuroOne. Except as otherwise indicated herein, all share and per share information in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section gives retroactive effect to the exchange of NeuroOne Shares, NeuroOne Options and NeuroOne Warrants for Company Shares, Company Options and Company Warrants, respectively, in the Acquisition, as well as the corresponding exercise price adjustments for such Company Options.

Predecessor NeuroOne, Inc. and NeuroOne LLC

The LLC was formed on December 12, 2013 and operated as a limited liability company until it was merged with and into NeuroOne on October 27, 2016 with NeuroOne as the surviving entity of the merger. NeuroOne was formed on October 7, 2016 under different ownership than the LLC. As a result of the merger, all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the LLC vested in NeuroOne, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the LLC became the debts, liabilities and duties of NeuroOne with the exception of the Company’s license agreement with Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) which required WARF’s approval for transfer. The purpose of the merger was to change the jurisdiction of NeuroOne’s incorporation from Minnesota to Delaware, change the ownership of the LLC’s underlying assets, and to convert from a limited liability company to a corporation.

NeuroOne and the LLC were not entities under common control. As the LLC did not have an integrated set of activities that contained the required complement of inputs, processes and outputs to be considered a business, the Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition as prescribed under ASC 805 –Business Combinations. As such, the activities of NeuroOne and the LLC were not combined and are shown separately in the accompanying financial statements included in this Report.

 

Financial Overview

Revenue

 

To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate revenue unless or until we develop, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology. If we fail to complete the development of our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology, or any other product candidate we may pursue in the future, in a timely manner, or fail to obtain regulatory approval, we may never be able to generate any revenue.

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs including stock-based compensation for personnel in functions not directly associated with research and development activities. Other significant costs include legal fees relating to corporate matters, intellectual property costs, professional fees for consultants assisting with regulatory, clinical, product development, and financial matters and product costs. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will significantly increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities, potential commercialization of our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology, if approved, and the increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases will include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees for legal and professional services, as well as other public-company related costs.

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities in developing our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology. Research and development expenses include compensation and benefits for research and development employees including stock-based compensation, overhead expenses, cost of laboratory supplies, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, costs related to regulatory operations, fees paid to consultants and other outside expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed.

 

We expect our research and development expenses to significantly increase over the next several years as we develop our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology and conduct preclinical testing and clinical trials and will depend on the duration, costs and timing to complete our preclinical programs and clinical trials.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historical Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash deposits of $70,029.$0.4 million. We have not generated any revenue, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we develop our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology and pursue pre-clinical testing and clinical trials, seek regulatory approvals, contract to manufacture any products, establish our own sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology under development, if approved, hire additional staff, add operational, financial and management systems and continue to operate as a public company.

 

Our primary sourcessource of cash since inception, haveto date has been short-term financing instruments and associated warrants in the amount of $303,000, and proceeds from the issuanceissuances of notes with warrants, common stock with warrants and unsecured loans, the terms of which are further described below. See “—Funding Requirements and Outlook” below for the outstanding balances on our convertible notes.

Effective as of July 2, 2018, the Company amended the Series 1 Notes by entering into debt conversion agreements with each Series 1 Note subscriber to (i) convert the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Series 1 Notes into shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the outstanding balance divided by $1.80 per share (the “Series 1 Conversion Shares”); (ii) cancel and extinguish the Series 1 Notes; and (iii) amend and restate the Series 1 Warrants to make them immediately exercisable upon conversion, at a per share exercise price equal to $1.80 per share. As consideration for the early conversion of the Series 1 Notes, the Company issued each subscriber a new warrant (the “Series 1 Payment Warrants”), exercisable for up to the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Series 1 Conversion Shares received by such subscriber; at a per share exercise price of $1.80 per share. The Series 1 Payment Warrants are exercisable commencing on July 2, 2018, and expire on November 21, 2021.

Funding Requirements and Outlook

 

We have no current source of revenue to sustain our present activities, and we do not expect to generate revenue until, and unless, the FDA or other regulatory authorities approve our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology under development and we successfully commercialize our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity and debt financings as well as collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third-party partners, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development, future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on NeuroOne’sour financial statements as of and for the yearsnine months ended September 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016,2017, noting the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This uncertainty arose from management’s review of our results of operations and financial condition and its conclusion that, based on our operating plans, we did not have sufficient existing working capital to sustain operations through December 31, 2017.fund our operating expenses.

 

As of September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes totaled $1,705,834 and the outstanding principal on the Short-TermSeries 3 Notes was $253,000.$1,657,828. If we fail to complete an equity financingthe Series 3 Qualified Financing by November 21, 2017,June 30, 2019, the ConvertibleSeries 3 Notes will be immediately due and payable on such date, and we willmay not have sufficient cash to pay the principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In addition, the Short-Term Notes mature on February 18, 2018 and we may not have sufficient cash to pay the principal thereon.

 

We have agreements with WARFthe Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”) that require us to make certain milestone and royalty payments.

 

We have entered into an Exclusive Start-Up CompanyUnder the WARF License Agreement with WARF (the “WARF License”) pursuant to which WARF has granted us an exclusive license, or the WARF License, to make, use and sell, in the United States only, products that employ certain licensed patents for a neural probe array or thin-film micro electrode array and method. In exchange for the license,, we have agreed to pay WARF a one-time fee of $120,000$55,000 (representing a license feefee) upon the earliest to occur of the date we cumulatively raise at least $3 million in financing, which threshold was met, the date of a change of control, or our revenue reaching a specified threshold amount, and to pay $65,000 (representing reimbursement for costs incurred by WARF in maintaining the licensed patents) upon the earliest to occur of certain events related to the Company raising a minimum amountdate we cumulatively raise at least $5 million in financing, the date of financing, a change of control, or our revenue reaching a specified threshold amount. The initial $55,000 payment was paid in April 2018. The $65,000 reimbursement milestone was paid in February 2019. We have also agreed to pay WARF a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage of our product sales pursuant to the WARF License, with a minimum annual royalty payment of $50,000 for 2019, $100,000 for 2020 and $150,000 for 2021 and each calendar year thereafter that the WARF License is in effect. If we or any of our sublicenses contest the validity of any licensed patent, the royalty rate will be doubled during the pendency of such contest and, if the contested patent is found to be valid and would be infringed by us if not for the WARF License, the royalty rate will be tripled for the remaining term of the WARF License.

 

We have agreed to diligently develop, manufacture, marketUnder the Amended and sell products under the WARF License in the United States during the term of the agreement and, specifically, that we will submit a business plan to WARF by February 1, 2018 and file an application for 510(k) marketing clearance with the FDA by February 1, 2019. WARF may terminate this license in the event that we fail to meet these milestones on 30 days’ written notice, if we default on the payments of amounts due to WARF or fail to timely submit development reports, actively pursue our development plan or breach any other covenant in the WARFRestated License and fail to remedy such default in 90 days or in the event of certain bankruptcy events involving us. WARF may also terminate this license (i) on 90 days’ notice if we fail to have commercial sales of one or more FDA-approved products under the WARF License by March 31, 2019 or (ii) if, after royalties earned on sales begin to be paid, such earned royalties cease for more than four calendar quarters. The WARF License otherwise expires by its terms on the date that no valid claims on the patents licensed thereunder remain. We expect the latest expiration of a licensed patent to occur in 2030.

In addition, WARF reserves the right to grant non-profit research institutions and government agencies non-exclusive licenses to practice and use the inventions of the licensed patents for non-commercial research purposes, and we grant WARF a non-exclusive, sub licensable, royalty-free right and license for non-commercial research purposes to use improvements to the licensed patents. In the event that we discontinue use or commercialization of the licensed patents or improvements thereon, we must grant WARF an option to obtain a non-exclusive, sub-licensable royalty-bearing license to use the improvements for commercial purposes.

We have entered into a license and development agreementDevelopment Agreement with Mayo (the “Mayo Development Agreement”) with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”) with to license worldwide (i) certain know how for the development and commercialization of products, methods and processes related to flexible circuit thin film technology for the recording of tissue and (ii) the products developed therefrom, and to partner with Mayo to assist the Company in the investigation, research application, development and improvement of such technology. Mayo has agreed to assist us by providing access to certain individuals at Mayo, or the Mayo Principal Investigators, in developing our cortical thin film flexible circuit technology, including prototype development, animal testing, protocol development for human and animal use, abstract development and presentation and access to and license of any intellectual property that the Mayo Principal Investigators develop relating to the procedure.

Whether or not any such technology, product, method, process, device or delivery system is developed, we agreed, in consideration for Mayo’s efforts under the Mayo Development Agreement, as amended, to pay Mayo a cash payment of approximately $92,000 on the earlier of December 31, 2017 or the date we raise a minimum amount of financing, and on May 25, 2017, prior to the closing of the Acquisition, NeuroOne, Inc. issued Mayo 50,556 shares of NeuroOne, Inc. common stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement. Finally,, we have agreed to pay Mayo a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage of our product sales pursuant to the Mayo Development Agreement. Mayo may purchase any developed products licensed under the Mayo Development Agreement at the best price offered by us to the end user in the prior year. The Mayo Development Agreement generally will expire in October 2034, unless the Mayo know-how and improvements under the Mayo Development Agreement remain in use, and the Mayo Development Agreement may be terminated by Mayo for cause or under certain circumstances.

We may obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of our common stock,Common Stock and securities convertible into our Common Stock, through other equity or debt financings or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Further, we may not be able to pay off or modify terms of some of our existing debt that may comecoming due  in June 30, 2019, and any failure to raise capital or to amend existing debt that may be due as and when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan.

 

The development of our cortical strip, grid electrode and depth electrode technology is subject to numerous uncertainties, and we have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be substantially different than we currently anticipate and could use our cash resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of developing medical devices is costly, and the timing of progress in pre-clinical tests and clinical trials is uncertain. Our ability to successfully transition to profitability will be dependent upon achieving FDA approval and then a level of product sales adequate to support our cost structure. We cannot assure you that we will ever be profitable or generate positive cash flow from operating activities.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have beenare prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requiresrequire us to make estimates and judgments and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the datesdate of the balance sheets andfinancial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expensesexpense during the reporting periods. In accordance with GAAP,periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we baserely are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that we make these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions thatjudgments and which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances at the time such estimatesmost critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are made. Actual results may differ materially fromdescribed in Note 3 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions. We periodically review our estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. The effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected in ourcondensed consolidated financial statements prospectively from the date of the changeincluded in estimate.“Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described inDuring the notesthree months ended December 31, 2018, there were no material changes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report, we believe the following are the critical accounting policies usedor estimates disclosed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements that require significant estimates“Management’s Discussion and judgments.

Fair ValueAnalysis of Financial Instruments

We accountCondition and Results of Operations” included in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for fair value measurements of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring or nonrecurring basis adhering to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

���Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the Company at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

26

NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation

Form 10-Q

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair values of cash, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and the unsecured loan approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. The estimated fair value of the short-term promissory notes and convertible promissory notes was based on amortized cost which was deemed to approximate fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability and the premium conversion derivative associated with the convertible promissory notes was based on cash flow models discounted at current implied market rates evidenced in recent arms-length transactions representing expected returns by market participants for similar instruments which were based on Level 3 inputs. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the nine-monthnine month transition period ended September 30, 2017, or during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Intellectual Property

We entered into two licensing agreements with major research institutions, which allow for access to certain patented technology and know-how. Milestone payments under those agreements are capitalized and amortized to general and administrative expense over the expected useful life of the acquired technology.2018.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate long-lived assets, which consists entirely of licensed intellectual property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether or not the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. Through September 30, 2017, we had not impaired any long-lived assets.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction of the short-term promissory notes and convertible promissory notes. Amortization of debt issuance costs is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the short-term promissory notes and convertible promissory notes, which approximates the effective interest method, and is recorded in interest expense in the statement of operations.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses may comprise costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and pre-clinical materials as well as other contracted services, license fees, and other external costs. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received, rather than when payment is made, in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Warrant Liability

We issued warrantsRefer to purchase equity securities in connection with the issuanceNote 3— “Summary of the convertible promissory notes. We account for these warrants as a liability at fair value for each reporting period as the number of shares were not fixed and determinable at the issuance date for the warrants associated with the convertible promissory notes. Additionally, issuance costs associated with the warrants are expensed as incurred and reflected as interest expense in the accompanyingSignificant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We will continue to adjust the warrant liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants, or until such time, if any, as the number of shares to be exercised becomes fixed, at which point the warrants will be classified in stockholders’ (deficit) equity provided that there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to settle the warrants and redeem any other contracts that may require settlement in shares of common stock. Any future change in fair value of the warrant liability will be recognized as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Premium Debt Conversion Derivative

We evaluate all conversion and redemption features contained in a debt instrument to determine if there are any embedded derivatives that require separation from the host debt instrument. An embedded derivative that requires separation is bifurcated from its host debt instrument and a corresponding discount to the host debt instrument is recorded. The discount is amortized and recorded to interest expense over the term of the host debt instrument using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method. The separated embedded derivative is accounted for separately on a fair market value basis. We record the fair value changes of a separated embedded derivative to interest expense at each reporting period. We issued Convertible Notes that contained a 125% conversion premium in the event that a qualified financing occurs at a price under $2.25 per common share. We also issued 2017 Convertible Notes that contained a 125% conversion premium in the event that a qualified financing occurs at a price under $2.8125 per common share. We determined that the redemption feature under the respective notes qualified as an embedded derivative and was separated from its debt host.

Income Taxes

For NeuroOne, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The LLC operated as a single-member LLC from formation on December 12, 2013 until it was merged into NeuroOne, Inc. on October 27, 2016. As such, it was a disregarded legal entity for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes wasstatements included in the financial statements“Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report for the period from January 1, 2016 through October 26, 2016.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per sharea discussion of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings or loss per share of common stock is computed similarly to basic earnings or loss per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents, if dilutive. Our stock options, Convertible Notes and warrants are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. Diluted earnings is computed utilizing the treasury method for the stock options and warrants. Diluted earnings with respect to the Convertible Notes utilizing the if-converted method was not applicable during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 as no conditions required for conversion had occurred during this period. No incremental common stock equivalents were included in calculating diluted loss per share because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive given the net loss reported for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.

The LLC was a single-member LLC for which no units were outstanding. Accordingly, earnings per share is not presented for the LLC.

Fair Value of Common Stock on Grant Dates

Prior to the Acquisition, we were a private company with no active public market for our common stock. Therefore, we have historically periodically determined for financial reporting purposes the estimated per share fair value of our common stock at various dates using contemporaneous valuations performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, also known as the Practice Aid. We performed these contemporaneous valuations on an as-needed basis. In conducting the contemporaneous valuations, we considered all objective and subjective factors that we believed to be relevant for each valuation conducted, including our best estimate of our business condition, prospects and operating performance at each valuation date.

Common Stock Valuation Methodology

The contemporaneous valuations that we conducted were prepared in accordance with the guidelines in the Practice Aid, which prescribes several valuation approaches for setting the value of an enterprise, such as the asset, market and income approaches, and various methodologies for allocating the value of an enterprise to its common stock. In determining the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock options granted, our Board of Directors has historically considered, among other things, the most recent estimate of fair value provided by an independent third-party valuation specialist and our assessment of additional objective and subjective factors to determine the common stock fair market value each valuation date. The following factors, among others, were considered:

our financial condition and operating results, including our projected results;

our stage of development and business strategy;

the financial condition and operating results of comparable publicly owned companies;

worldwide economic conditions;

our recent securities transactions; and

the likelihood of a liquidity event such as an initial public offering, a merger or the sale of our company.

There are significant judgments and estimates inherent in the determination of fair value of our common stock, including the contemporaneous valuations. These judgments and estimates include assumptions regarding our future operating performance, and the determination of the appropriate valuation methods. If we had made different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense, net loss and net loss per common share could have been significantly different.

In each of our contemporaneous valuations, we generally used the asset and market approaches to derive an estimated enterprise value. The asset approach establishes value based on the cost of reproducing or replacing the property, less economic depreciation due to physical deterioration, and functional or economic obsolescence, if present and measurable. The particular market approach utilizes the option pricing method, or OPM, backsolve method to determine our enterprise value. Under this method, an implied equity value of the company is derived from recent transactions involving the Company’s securities in arms-length transactions. Under the option pricing method, shares are valued by creating a series of hypothetical call options using exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences and conversion terms of each equity class. The values of the multiple classes of equity are inferred by analyzing these options and determining the option value attributable to each respective security. We applied a discount to the valuations due to the lack of marketability of the ordinary shares at the time of issuance. We calculated the discount for lack of marketability and applied it as appropriate to each allocation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASBrecently issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 for public entities and for all other entities in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2017.December 31, 2018. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be ineffective as of September 30, 2017December 31, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the previously identified material weaknesses disclosed in the risk factors within the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 20, 2017, described below.weaknesses. The material weaknesses relatedstem primarily from our small size and include the inability to ineffective internal(i) maintain effective controls over accounting for non-routine and/or complex debt and equity transactions and (ii) maintain effective controls over the accounting closingfinancial statement close and financial reporting process, pertaining to certain stockaccounting for routine transactions and complicated convertible debt instruments; insufficient internal personnel resources and technical accounting and reporting expertise within the Company’s financial closing and reporting functions; and due to our small size, the Company’s inability to maintain effective internal controls to assure properan overall lack of segregation of duties asresulting from the same employee was responsible for initiating and recording transactions.limited number of employees we have.

  

We intend to recruit additional professionals with the requisite experience and skillset to address these material weaknesses, as our business conditions warrant. However, we do not currently have adequate cash resources to invest in these additional resources. Accordingly, our remediation plans may be delayed. Although we believe that these corrective steps, when taken, will enable management to conclude that the internal controls over our financial reporting are effective when the staff is in place and trained, we cannot provide assurance that these steps will be sufficient. We may be required to expend additional resources to identify, assess and correct any additional weaknesses in internal control.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we arethe Company is subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  Other than the letter received by NeuroOne, Inc. inIn May 2017, NeuroOne received a letter from PMT, the former employer of Mark Christianson and Wade Fredrickson claiming, among other things, certain breachesFredrickson.  PMT claimed that these officers had breached their restrictive covenant obligations with PMT by virtue of non-competition obligationstheir work for NeuroOne and such officer’s prior work during employment with the prior employer, that these officers had breached their confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations to such prior employerPMT and federal and state law by virtuemisappropriating confidential and trade secret information, and that the Company is responsible for tortious interference with the contracts.  The letter demanded that Mr. Fredrickson (who resigned from the Company in June 2017), Mr. Christianson and NeuroOne cease and desist all competitive activities, that Mr. Fredrickson step down from his position and that Mr. Christianson and NeuroOne provide the former employer access to NeuroOne’s systems to demonstrate that it is not using trade secrets or proprietary information nor competing with the former employer.

On March 29, 2018, the Company was served with a complaint filed by PMT adding the Company, NeuroOne and Mr. Christianson to its existing lawsuit against Mr. Fredrickson.  In the lawsuit, PMT claims that Mr. Fredrickson and Mr. Christianson breached their non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disclosure obligations, breached their fiduciary duty obligations, were unjustly enriched, engaged in unfair competition, engaged in a civil conspiracy, tortiously interfered with PMT’s contracts and prospective economic advantage, and breached a covenant of such officers’ workgood faith and fair dealing.  Against Mr. Fredrickson, PMT also alleges that he intentionally or negligently spoliated evidence, made negligent or fraudulent misrepresentations, misappropriated trade secrets in violation of Minnesota law, and committed the tort of conversion and statutory civil theft.  Against the Company and NeuroOne, PMT alleges that the Company and NeuroOne were unjustly enriched and engaged in unfair competition.  PMT asked the Court to impose a constructive trust over the shares held by Mr. Fredrickson and Mr. Christianson and to award compensatory damages, equitable relief, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest. 

On April 18, 2018, Mr. Christianson, the Company and NeuroOne, Inc. filed a motion for dismissal, which was heard by the Court on October 11, 2018. The motion for dismissal states that: the contract claims against Mr. Christianson fail because his agreement was not supported by consideration; the Minnesota Uniform Trade Secrets Act preempts plaintiff’s claims for unfair competition, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment; plaintiff fails to state a claim regarding alleged breach of the duties of loyalty and good faith/fair dealing; plaintiff cannot legally obtain a constructive trust; plaintiff has insufficiently pled its tortious interference claims; and Plaintiff has not stated a claim for unfair competition. On January 7, 2019, the judge granted the motion for dismissal with respect to PMT’s claim for breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and denied the motion for dismissal with respect to the other claims presented. The Company, NeuroOne, Inc., and Mr. Christianson (who has not worked for PMT since February 2012) intend to continue to defend themselves vigorously.  

We have no insurance coverage to protect against any losses we are not currentlymay experience due to this claim. Furthermore, Mr. Christianson is a partykey officer and the loss of his services would be detrimental to any material legal proceedingsour operations and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
