1. Basis of Presentation, Organization and Other Matters
NeurAxis, Inc. (“we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “NeurAxis”) was established in 2011 and incorporated in the state of Indiana in 2012 under the name of Innovative Health Solutions, Inc. The name was changed to NeurAxis, Inc. in 2022 when the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion and became a Delaware corporation.
The Company is headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, and specializes in the development, production, and sale of medical neuromodulation devices. The Company has developed four FDA cleared products: (i) the IB-STIM (DEN180057, 2019), (ii) the Rectal Expulsion Device (“RED”) (K242304,2024), (iii) the NSS-2 Bridge (DEN170018, 2017) and (iv) the original 510(K) clearance (K140530, 2014).
● | The IB-STIM is a percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulator (PENFS) device that is indicated in patients 8-21 years of age with functional abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome. | |
● | RED is indicated to evaluate the neuromuscular function of a patient’s ability to expel its contents from the rectum and as a qualitative test for rectal hypersensitivity patients who experience desire or urge to defecate at lower volumes of distention. RED is intended to be used in a clinical setting by trained health care providers in adult populations. | |
● | The
NSS-2 Bridge is a percutaneous nerve field stimulator (PNFS) device indicated for use in the reduction of the symptoms of opioid
withdrawal and was licensed to Masimo Corporation (“Masimo”). Masimo marketed and sold this product as its Masimo Bridge.
On July 1, 2025, the Company terminated the NSS-2 Bridge license with Masimo in exchange for $ | |
● | The original 510(K) device was an Electroacupuncture Device (“EAD”), now called NeuroStim. The EAD is no longer being manufactured, sold or distributed but reserved only for research purposes. |
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follow the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information. These unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or any other interim period or for any other future year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience, and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, income tax provisions, excess and obsolete inventory reserve, and impairment of property and equipment, and intellectual property. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Trade
accounts receivable is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances, net of an allowance for credit losses.
Management evaluates many factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts, including, but not limited to, creditworthiness,
past transaction and payment history, current economic industry trends and changes in payment terms. Management used assumptions and
judgment based on the best available facts and circumstances to estimate and record an allowance. The Company estimates credit losses
on accounts receivable by utilizing an aging schedule. The allowance for credit losses was $
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The inventory is
comprised of finished medical devices on hand. Certain components within the devices have an expiration date that are removed from
current inventory and expensed at the date of expiration. The Company recorded expired and other inventory charges of $
Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 establishes a 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 unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities: quoted prices in markets that are not active; or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market date, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These unobservable inputs reflect that reporting entity’s own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company’s Level 1 accounts include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaids, and other current assets. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts on June 30, 2025 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.
9 |
The Company’s Level 3 accounts include warrant liabilities. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. The valuation techniques involve management’s estimates and judgment based on unobservable inputs. The fair value estimates may not be indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a market exchange. Additionally, there may be inherent uncertainties or changes in the underlying assumptions used, which could significantly affect the current or future fair value estimates. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.
There were no transfers between any of the levels during the periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company had no assets that were measured on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Basic earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss), net of preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents that were outstanding for the periods presented. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, presented in these financial statements, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The Company accounts for all stock-based awards at fair value. The Company recognizes its stock-based compensation expense using the straight-line method. Compensation cost is not adjusted for estimated forfeitures, but instead is adjusted upon actual forfeiture.
The Company accounts for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units to employees and non-employees using the fair value method whereby all awards are measured at fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of all employee stock options and restricted stock units is expensed over the requisite service period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Upon exercise of stock options, the consideration paid by the option holder is recorded in additional paid-in capital, while the par value of the shares received is reclassified from additional paid-in-capital to common stock. Upon vesting of restricted stock units, the par value of the shares issued are reclassified from additional paid-in-capital to common stock.
Stock-based awards to non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued. Compensation expense for non-employee stock awards is recognized over the requisite service period following the measurement of the fair value on the grant date.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected term of the option, risk-free interest rates, the value of the common stock and expected dividend yield of the common stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with FASB’s ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, it performs the following five steps:
(i) | identify the contract(s) with a customer; | |
(ii) | identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
(iii) | determine the transaction price; | |
(iv) | allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
(v) | recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company applies the five-step model to contracts when it determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price, after consideration of variability and constraints, if any, that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company offers a Patient Assistance Program for patients without insurance coverage for IB-Stim. This program extends potential self-pay discounts for IB-Stim devices, based upon household income and size.
Also, the Company offers providers an opt-in program to address adequate insurance claim payments on IB-Stim devices. This program may extend a rebate or invoice credit where the insurance payment and patient responsibility (i.e., deductible, co-payment, and/or co-insurance amounts required by the Payer) are less than the acquisition cost of the IB-Stim device. The Company recognizes revenue at such a time that collection of the amount due is assured.
Certain economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows. All of the Company’s products are sold to healthcare customers including hospitals, clinics and physician offices. Sales to healthcare customers generally lack seasonality and have a mild correlation with economic cycles. All of the Company’s sales are to customers located within the United States. Sales contracts consist of purchase orders that are short-term (i.e., less than or equal to one year).
The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations for goods at a point in time as they are received at the customer’s destination (rather than over time). Goods are shipped by common carrier to customers under FOB destination terms. As such, ownership of goods in transit is transferred to the customer upon receipt as the Company bears the associated risks (e.g., loss, damage, delay). Management typically relies on shipping information from common carriers to evaluate when the customer has obtained control of the goods. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as Cost of Goods Sold in the Statements of Operations.
The Company’s contracts with customers typically do not involve variable consideration. The information that the Company uses to determine the transaction price for a contract is similar to the information that the Company’s management uses in establishing the prices of goods to be sold.
Orders may not be cancelled after shipment. Customers may return devices within 10 days of delivery if the goods are found to be defective, nonconforming, or otherwise do not meet the stated technical specifications. At the option of the customer, the Company shall either:
● | Refund the price paid for any defective or nonconforming products. | |
● | Supply and deliver to the customer replacement conforming products. | |
● | Reimburse the customer for the cost of repairing any defective or nonconforming products. |
At
the time revenue is recognized, the Company estimates expected returns and excludes those amounts from revenue. The Company also
maintains appropriate accounts to reflect the effects of expected returns on the Company’s financial position and periodically
adjusts those accounts to reflect its actual return experience. The estimated returns reserve totaled $
Payment for goods sold by the Company is typically due after an invoice is sent to the customer, within 30 days. The Company does not offer discounts if the customer pays some or all of an invoiced amount prior to the due date. None of the Company’s contracts have a significant financing component.
Medical devices that the Company contracts to sell and transfer to customers are manufactured by two third-party manufacturers located in Indiana and Michigan. In no case does the Company act as an agent (i.e., the Company does not provide a service of arranging for another party to transfer goods to the customer).
Going Concern
As
of June 30, 2025, we had stockholders’ equity of $
Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with developing, manufacturing, and marketing our technologies, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, marketing activities and competing technological and market developments, including regulatory changes and overall economic conditions in our target markets. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability requires us to successfully market and secure purchase orders for our products from customers currently identified in our sales pipeline and to new customers as well. The primary activity that will drive all customers and revenues is the adoption of insurance coverage by commercial insurance carriers nationally, which is a top priority of the Company. These activities, including our planned research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the rest of 2025 and beyond.

Management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date the financial statements are issued.
While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its debt or equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on reasonable terms, or at all. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Neither future cash generated from operating activities, nor management’s contingency plans to mitigate the risk and extend cash resources through the evaluation period, are considered probable. As a result, substantial doubt is deemed to exist about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As we continue to incur losses, our transition to profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. We may never achieve profitability, and unless and until doing so, we intend to fund future operations through additional dilutive or nondilutive financing. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic (220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures that disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible amortization expense. Additional disclosures are also required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts in an expense caption that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and the total amount of selling expenses including a definition. Public business entities are required to adopt the standard for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Disclosures are required for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Although the standard requires enhanced disclosures, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires the enhancement of income tax disclosures to provide better insight into how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, planning and opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The enhanced disclosures require (i) specific categories in a tabular rate reconciliation including both amounts and percentages and (ii) additional information for reconciling items and income tax paid that meet a quantitative threshold. Public business entities are required to adopt the standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. All other entities are required to adopt the standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

12. Segment Information
The Company evaluates the following factors to identify its reportable segments: (i) nature of products and services, (ii) type of customer for the products and services, (iii) sales, production and distribution methods of the products and services and (iv) the nature of the regulatory environment, if applicable. Based on an evaluation of these factors, management concluded that the Company’s operations are managed through one reportable segment, IB-STIM, that derives its revenues in the United States from a PENFS device that is used to treat patients 8-21 years of age with functional abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome. The accounting policies of the IB-STIM segment are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Footnote 2). The CODM regularly evaluates the performance of the IB-STIM segment for the purpose of allocating resources based on net sales and operating loss, both of which are reported in the Condensed Statements of Operations. The CODM uses net sales to evaluate IB-STIM’s adoption and utilization by insurance carriers and physicians. As NeurAxis is an emerging growth company, operating loss is used to monitor the Company’s cost structure in order to achieve future segment profitability. Both net sales and operating loss are measured against the budget on a periodic basis to assess achievement toward annual compensation incentive targets. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. You should read the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
We are a growth stage company focused on developing neuromodulation therapies to address chronic and debilitating conditions in children. Our mission is to provide solutions that create value and provide better and safer patient outcomes. Our IB-Stim device is a PENFS system intended to be used in patients 8-21 years of age with functional abdominal pain associated with IBS and has market clearance from FDA for functional abdominal pain associated with IBS in children. Our RED device is an easy-to-use, office-based, point-of-care test that identifies patients with chronic constipation due to pelvic floor dyssynergia and has FDA market clearance for adults. Other indications in our pipeline are comprised of functional nausea in children, post-concussion syndrome in children, cyclic vomiting syndrome in children and functional abdominal pain associated with IBS in adults.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net loss was $1,690,418 and $2,917,710 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3,969,102 and $5,038,361 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Although we had stockholders’ equity of $4,253,294 as of June 30, 2025, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit opinion. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to pursue widespread insurance coverage of our IB-Stim device and seek FDA clearance of our device for other indications as we also fund sales and marketing efforts to expand the adoption of RED. There are a number of milestones and conditions that we must satisfy before we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations, including FDA clearance of our IB-Stim device to treat future indications.
Factors Affecting our Business and Results of Operations
Revenue
Our revenue is derived from the sale of our IB-Stim device to healthcare companies, primarily hospitals and clinics. Sales generally are not seasonal and only mildly correlated with economic cycles. Our IB-Stim device sells for $1,195 per device, and each child being treated for functional abdominal pain associated with IBS will use three to four devices. Potential patients with future indications are expected to use four to six or more devices per patient. In an effort to treat all patients, the Company provides devices at a discount to lower income patients without healthcare insurance.
Our sales typically are made on a purchase order basis rather than through long-term purchase commitments. We enter into sales agreements with customers for IB-Stim devices based on purchase orders and standard terms, which vary slightly based on the customer’s form, and conditions of sale. Standard payment terms generally are that payment is due within 30 days.
Given the current economic environment, we cannot predict whether inflation will have a material impact on our operations for the foreseeable future.
23 |
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Our management uses gross profit and gross margin to evaluate the efficiency of operations and as a key component to determining the effectiveness and allocation of resources. We calculate gross profit as net sales less cost of goods sold, and gross margin as gross profit divided by net sales. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily the average selling price of our IB-Stim and RED devices, production volume, order flows, change in mix of customers, third-party manufacturing costs related to components of our devices and cost-reduction strategies. We expect our gross profit to increase for the foreseeable future as our net sales grows, both through broader insurer acceptance of our IB-Stim device in the near term and approval of our technology for the treatment of other indications over the longer term. Our gross margin may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in average selling prices and the mix of patient healthcare coverage (e.g. discounts are provided to lower income patients without healthcare insurance), particularly as we introduce enhancements to our IB-Stim device and new products to address other indications, and as we adopt new manufacturing processes and technologies.
Expenses
We have four categories of expenses: cost of goods sold, selling, research and development, and general and administrative.
Costs of goods sold consist of costs paid for the IB-Stim and RED devices to our contract manufacturers along with shipping and handling costs and expired inventory charges. Expired inventory expense is related to the FDA clearance period from the date our devices are manufactured, and if the device is not sold in such period, a reserve is recorded. Expired and other inventory charges totaled $12,174 and $12,174 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. There was no expired inventory for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. We have fixed-price contracts with the manufacturers of our devices.
Our core selling expenses primarily consist of commissions.
Research and development expense is attributable to our clinical trials and related efforts to have our IB-Stim and RED devices cleared by the FDA for other indications. We expect to incur future R&D expenses for other indications, such as functional nausea, post-concussion syndrome and cyclic vomiting syndrome in children.
General and administrative expense primarily consists of wages and benefits, professional fees, including legal, audit, insurance, investor relations, advertising, facility costs, utilities and travel costs.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $282,586, or 46.2%, from $611,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $894,086 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased $531,606, or 42.3%, from $1,258,135 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $1,789,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increases were due to volume growth from customers with full health insurance reimbursement coverage and those participating in our financial assistance programs that provide discounts to patients without insurance coverage and device sales from the Company’s launch of its RED product in 2025.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit increased $209,401, or 38.9%, from $538,042 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $747,443 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to higher sales volume. Despite the increase in sales volume, the decrease in gross margin from 88.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to 83.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was due to higher discounting in the Company’s financial assistance programs provided to patients without health insurance coverage and expired RED inventory.
Gross profit increased $394,027, or 35.5%, from $1,109,596 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $1,503,623 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to higher sales volume. Despite the increase in sales volume, gross margin decreased from 88.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to 84.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to higher growth of the financial assistance programs versus the full reimbursement patients, higher discounting in the Company’s financial assistance programs provided to patients without health insurance coverage and expired RED inventory.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses increased $79,979, or 128.4%, from $62,274 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $142,253 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased $133,902, or 94.1%, from $142,304 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $276,206 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increases were due to higher sales volume and a temporary commission structure to facilitate growth and adoption in new states.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased $4,007, or 7.4%, from $54,312 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $58,319 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased $48,130, or 80.4%, from $59,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $108,012 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increases were due to higher year-over-year spending on a medical research project and costs to develop the RED device.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased $363,559, or 13.8%, from $2,628,288 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $2,264,729 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the absence of certain one-time, non-recurring severance, consulting and advisory costs incurred in 2024 and lower accounting, investor relations, insurance and advertising costs as new hires in 2024 have internally absorbed certain services, partially offset by third party costs incurred to enhance the Company’s internal control environment.
General and administrative expenses increased $185,998, or 3.8%, from $4,946,362 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $5,132,360 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a one-time, non-recurring charge to settle a lawsuit, third party costs incurred to enhance the Company’s internal control environment and the introduction of annual short-term and long-term incentive plans in 2024 that were not outstanding for the full fiscal year, partially offset by the absence of certain one-time, non-recurring severance, hiring, consulting and advisory costs incurred in 2024 and lower legal, accounting, investor relations and insurance costs as new hires in 2024 have internally absorbed certain services.
Operating Loss
Our operating loss decreased $488,974, or 22.2%, from $2,206,832 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $1,717,858 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher sales volume and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a lower gross margin and higher selling costs that are a function of revenue.
Our operating loss decreased $25,997, or 0.6%, from $4,038,952 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $4,012,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by a lower gross margin, higher general and administrative costs primarily due to a one-time, non-recurring settlement of a lawsuit, higher research and development costs and higher selling costs that are a function of revenue.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income increased $738,318, or 103.9%, from $710,878 of expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $27,440 of income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the absence of a one-time, non-recurring 2024 settlement of certain claims relating to pre-IPO Series A Preferred Stock shareholders.
Other income increased $1,043,262, or 104.4% from $999,409 of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $43,853 of income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due the absence of one-time, non-recurring 2024 settlements relating to a 2023 convertible note dispute and certain pre-IPO Series A Preferred Stock shareholder claims.
Net Loss
Our net loss decreased $1,227,292, or 42.1%, from $2,917,710 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $1,690,418 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to higher sales volume, lower general and administrative expenses and the absence of a one-time, non-recurring 2024 settlement of certain claims relating to pre-IPO Series A Preferred Stock shareholders.
Our net loss decreased $1,069,259 from $5,038,361 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $3,969,102 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher sales volume and the absence of one-time, non-recurring 2024 settlements relating to a 2023 convertible note dispute and certain pre-IPO Series A Preferred Stock shareholder claims, partially offset by the one-time, non-recurring settlement of a lawsuit in 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash on hand of $5,988,456 and $3,696,870 as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. We maintained a working capital surplus of $4,271,446 and $1,832,858 as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in working capital was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock and the exercise of common stock warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
We have incurred losses since inception and have funded our operations primarily with a combination of sales, debt, and the sale of capital stock. As of June 30, 2025, we had stockholders’ equity of $4,253,294 and short-term borrowings of $121,433.
Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with developing, manufacturing, and marketing our technologies, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, marketing activities and competing technological and market developments, including regulatory changes and overall economic conditions in our target markets. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability requires us to successfully market and secure purchase orders for our products from customers currently identified in our sales pipeline and to new customers as well. The primary activity that will drive all customers and revenues is the adoption of insurance coverage by commercial insurance carriers nationally, so this is a top priority of the Company. These activities, including our planned research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the rest of 2025 and beyond.
Additionally, we have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. Our management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time our management has to implement our business plan and may delay our anticipated growth plans.
The following table summarizes our cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Operating Activities – Net cash used in operating activities increased $123,850, or 4.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher inventory purchases to support sales growth and the 2025 payment of the 2024 short-term incentive program, partially offset by increased cash collections.
Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities increased $1,880, or 8.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to capital expenditures to manufacture the RED device.
Financing Activities – Net cash provided by financing activities increased $730,602, or 15.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and the exercise of common stock warrants in 2025 compared to the issuance of convertible notes in 2024.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and oversight of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, recognizes that internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
Based on our evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, as set forth below:
● | Ineffective approval processes governing (i) timely Board of Directors authorization and (ii) segregation of duties and roles and responsibilities configurations within the Company’s financial reporting system; | |
● | Inadequate contract management process to capture all executed agreements prior to the commencement of services in order to ensure accuracy within the proper accounting period; | |
● | Misapplication of U.S. GAAP as evidenced by the restatement of our unaudited financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023; and | |
● | Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures a result of (i) lack of segregation of duties, (ii) lack of internal control structure review and (iii) misapplication of U.S. GAAP. |
In order to remediate the identified material weaknesses, management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, undertook measures to enhance the Company’s internal control environment, including the (i) hiring of a principal financial officer and other accounting personnel to ensure the appropriate application of U.S. GAAP including the annual required completion of a minimum number of continuing professional education hours, (ii) implementation of a documented internal control framework and program, (iii) documentation and communication of business policies such as a delegation of authority over company transactions including the Board of Directors and invoice approvals, (iv) completion of a formal monthly close process including account reconciliations with supporting documentation and (v) engagement of a third-party firm that implemented controls to segregate duties and approvals along with the proper assignment of roles and responsibilities within the Company’s financial system. However, management has not fully implemented the remediation steps and expects remediation efforts, including testing, to continue in fiscal year 2025.
While these remediation efforts are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control program over financial reporting and will take further actions and implement additional enhancements or improvements as necessary.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of issuance, other than those described below, there were no pending or threatened legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
On February 6, 2019, plaintiff Ritu Bhambhani, M.D., initiated a lawsuit against Innovative Health Solutions, Inc. and others in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Plaintiffs Bhambhani and Sudhir Rao subsequently amended the complaint, with the Third Amended Complaint (“Complaint”) containing the most recent set of allegations. The Complaint asserted claims under the RICO Act, as well as of fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation by concealment, and civil conspiracy and sought compensatory damages in excess of $5 million, pre-judgment interest, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, court costs and designation of the case as a class action. The Complaint stated that the Company, distributors of the Company’s product, and medical billing and coding consultants allegedly made misrepresentations to the plaintiffs that the Company’s NeuroStim device and related procedures could be billed to, and reimbursed by, Medicare and other insurance payors as a surgically implantable neurostimulator. Plaintiffs claim to have suffered damages when Medicare administrative contractors declined to pay plaintiffs for their use of the device.
On February 11, 2022, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment based upon the plaintiffs not being proper parties to assert claims against the Company. On June 14, 2022, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the Complaint.
On July 14, 2022, plaintiffs Ritu Bhambhani and Sudhir Rao filed a notice of appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. On June 3, 2024, the Fourth Circuit denied the plaintiff’s appeal and entered judgment against the plaintiffs. On June 25, 2024, the Fourth Circuit entered its mandate declaring that its judgment against the plaintiffs took effect that day. The plaintiffs did not seek any further review or appeal of that judgment.
Also on July 14, 2022, plaintiffs Ritu Bhambhani, LLC; Box Hill Surgery Center, LLC; Pain and Spine Specialists of Maryland, LLC; and SimCare ASC, LLC initiated a lawsuit against the Company and others in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “2022 Lawsuit”). The plaintiffs in this lawsuit are business entities owned or partially owned by the plaintiffs that initiated the litigation described above. The Complaint asserted claims under the RICO Act, as well as fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation by concealment, and civil conspiracy and seeks compensatory damages in excess of $75,000, pre-judgment interest, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and court costs. The Complaint states that the Company, distributors of the Company’s product, and medical billing and coding consultants allegedly made misrepresentations to the plaintiffs that the Company’s NeuroStim device and related procedures could be billed to, and reimbursed by, Medicare and other insurance payors as a surgically implantable neurostimulator. Plaintiffs claim to have suffered damages when Medicare administrative contractors declined to pay plaintiffs for their use of the device.
On September 28, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims. On May 25, 2023, the Court issued an Order and a Memorandum Opinion which dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims related to the RICO Act. The remaining claims are still pending, and no trial date has been set for the case. The Court has vacated its Scheduling Order at the parties’ request so that the parties could try to resolve the disputes in both cases through an independent third-party mediator.
On May 15, 2025, the parties executed a $750,000 settlement agreement payable in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in January of 2026.
In January 2024, Dr. Arturo Taca served notice to the Company that asserted an interest in its U.S. Patent No. 10,413,719 valued at $2,000,000 based on his own work in neurostimulation. The Company denied both the neurostimulation patent and compensation claims. The case remains unresolved. While it is too early to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, we believe the Company has meritorious defenses and intends to defend this matter vigorously.
