Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”), for interim financial information and with the instruction for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and the operating results and cash flows. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other subsequent interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on March 25, 2026. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nexalin Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Neuro-Health International, Inc. (“Neuro-Health”), PONM, Inc. (“PONM”) and Beijing Nexalin Neurotech Co., Ltd (“WOFE”). PONM has been included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of its acquisition on May 14, 2026. Neuro-Health and WOFE had no operating activity during the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Asset Acquisitions

Asset Acquisitions

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, as asset acquisitions. The cost of an asset acquisition includes cash paid, the fair value of consideration transferred, and the estimated value of any deferred or other purchase consideration attributable to the acquired assets.

 

When deferred purchase consideration is payable based on contractual terms and represents additional consideration for the acquired assets, the Company records a corresponding liability. Until such consideration is settled, the liability is remeasured to reflect changes in the estimated amount of consideration expected to be transferred. Corresponding adjustments are recorded as changes to the carrying amount of the related acquired asset and are not recognized in current-period earnings. The acquired asset is amortized over its estimated useful life, with the adjusted carrying amount serving as the basis for future amortization.

 

Deferred Share Liability

Deferred Share Liability

 

A deferred share liability represents the Company’s obligation to satisfy deferred purchase consideration through the future issuance of shares of its common stock. The deferred share liability is initially recognized at the estimated value of the unpaid purchase consideration and is subsequently remeasured at each reporting date until settlement. Changes in the carrying amount of the deferred share liability are recorded as adjustments to the carrying amount of the related acquired intangible asset in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for asset acquisitions. Upon issuance of the Company’s common stock, the deferred share liability is reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Advance payments made to contract research organizations and other clinical trial vendors are capitalized as prepaid assets and recognized as research and development expense as the underlying services are performed. Management periodically evaluates the status of services provided under each contract to determine the appropriate amount of expense to recognize during each reporting period.

 

Patents and Trademarks

Patents and Trademarks

 

Patents and trademarks are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment when warranted by economic conditions. Amortization expense was approximately $8,000 and $14,000 and $5,000 and $10,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

The following table summarizes the gross carrying amount, amortization and the net carrying value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). In determining fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, and considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). This hierarchy applies to assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

 

  Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

 

  Level 2: Inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1. These inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable market data.

 

  Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of U.S. Treasury bills and mutual funds. The Company also measures its deferred share liability at fair value on a recurring basis until the underlying shares are issued. U.S. Treasury bills and mutual funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices in active markets. The deferred share liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the inputs used in its valuation. The fair value of the deferred share liability is determined using the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock, together with the applicable contractual terms governing the share issuance. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred share liability and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments, except for the deferred share liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, unrealized gain (loss) and the fair value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). This framework applies to both initial and subsequent measurements.

 

The deferred share liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because its fair value is determined using the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock, which represents the significant input used in the valuation.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that would share in the earnings of the Company.

 

Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for all periods presented. For all periods presented, certain potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

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

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

For stock options issued to employees and members of the Board, the Company estimates the grant-date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires management to make assumptions regarding the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yields. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with graded vesting schedules, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally corresponds to the vesting term. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur, rather than being estimated at the grant date.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options and restricted shares issued to nonemployees in accordance with the guidance. Valuation methods and assumptions for nonemployee awards are consistent with those used for employee awards.

 

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance removes references to software development project stages so that capitalization is based on management authorization, commitment to funding, and probable completion for the intended use. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods, with prospective, modified, or retrospective transition methods allowed and early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires additional disaggregated disclosures of certain income statement expense categories. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this guidance.

 

All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements are considered either not applicable or immaterial to the Company.
