NOTE 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (the “Company” or “NeuroOne”), a Delaware corporation, is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of thin film electrode for continuous electroencephalogram (“cEEG”) and stereoelectrocencephalography (“sEEG”) recording, monitoring, ablation, drug delivery and brain stimulation solutions to diagnose and treat patients with epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders.
The Company received 510(k) clearance for three of its devices from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), including: (i) its Evo cortical electrode technology for recording, monitoring, and stimulating brain tissue for up to 30 days, (ii) its Evo sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 days) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain, and (iii) its OneRF ablation system for creation of radiofrequency lesions in nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures. The Company has a distribution agreement with Zimmer, Inc. (“Zimmer”) providing Zimmer with a license to commercialize and distribute these three products in the brain. The Company’s other products and indications are still under development.
The Company is based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
Global Economic Conditions
Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected the Company’s access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms or at all. If economic conditions continue to decline, the Company’s future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.
The Company’s operating results could be materially impacted by changes in the overall macroeconomic environment and other economic factors. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, and steps taken by governments and central banks, have led to higher inflation, which has led to an increase in costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including increased interest rates.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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 (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements of 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 financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, negative cash flows from operations since inception, and an accumulated deficit of $73.2 million as of December 31, 2024. To date, the Company’s revenues have not been sufficient to cover its full operating costs, and as such, it has been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of debt and sale of equity securities. The Company has adequate liquidity to fund its operations through April 2025. The raising of additional funds is not solely within the control of the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this condition. 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 to extend the time period that existing resources can fund the Company’s operations. The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its current cash and cash equivalents on hand, from product and license revenue and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. If management is unable to obtain the necessary capital, it may have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and the development of its technology, or the Company may have to cease operations altogether.
NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Management’s Use of Estimates
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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer views the Company’s operations and manages its business in one operating segment, which is the business of development and commercialization of products related to comprehensive neuromodulation cEEG and sEEG recording, monitoring, ablation, and brain stimulation solutions. Accordingly, the Company has a single reporting segment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original contractual maturity on date of purchase of less than or equal to three months to be classified and presented as cash equivalents on the balance sheets. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposit accounts with large financial institutions, institutional money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and corporate notes and bonds. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of the financial institutions, institutional money market funds, and corporations in which the Company invests its surplus funds. The Company has experienced no credit losses from its cash and cash equivalent investments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company entered into a development and distribution agreement which has current and future revenue recognition implications. See “Note 7 – Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue.
In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(unaudited)
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). Performance obligations may include license rights, development services, and services associated with regulatory submission and approval processes. Significant management judgment is required to determine the level of effort required under an arrangement and the period over which the Company expects to complete its performance obligations under the arrangement. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate when its performance obligations are either completed or become inconsequential, then revenue recognition is deferred until the Company can reasonably make such estimates. Revenue is then recognized over the remaining estimated period of performance using the cumulative catch-up method.
Product Revenue
Revenues from product sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. When the Company has consigned inventory at a customer, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the customer issues a purchase order to the Company and when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers. At the inception of each customer contract, performance obligations are identified, and the total transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue consists of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by the Company’s third-party contract manufacturers in connection with the Company’s strip and grid cortical electrodes (the “Strip/Grid Products”), depth electrodes (“sEEG Products), OneRF product offerings (“OneRF Products”) and outside supplier materials costs in connection with the electrode cable assembly products (“Electrode Cable Assembly Products”). In addition, cost of product revenue includes royalty fees incurred in connection with the Company’s license agreements.
License Revenue
As part of the accounting for collaboration arrangements, the Company must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price, which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. The Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or service underlying each performance obligation.
Licenses of intellectual property and distribution rights: If the license to the Company’s intellectual property or distribution rights to an underlying product is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license or distribution rights when the license or distribution right is transferred to the customer, and the customer can use and benefit from the license or distribution right. For licenses or distribution rights that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.
Milestone payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur, the value of the associated milestone (such as a regulatory submission) is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company, such as approvals from regulators, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. When the Company’s assessment of probability of achievement changes and variable consideration becomes probable, any additional estimated consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or service underlying each performance obligation and recorded in license revenues based upon when the customer obtains control of each element.
Royalties: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (a) when the related sales occur, or (b) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

Warrant Liability
The Company issued warrants in connection with its 2024 Private Placement (See Note 9– Stockholders’ Equity). The Company accounts for these warrants as a liability at fair value when warrant pricing protection provisions are not available to other common stockholders. Additionally, issuance costs associated with the warrant liability are expensed as incurred and reflected as a financing cost in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The Company adjusts the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants for any period when pricing protections remain in place. Any future change in the fair value of the warrant liability is recognized in the condensed statements of operations under the fair value change in the warrant liability line item.
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 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, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the fair values of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaids and deferred offering costs, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. The fair value of the warrant liability was based on Level 3 inputs as well as the Company’s underlying stock price and associated volatility, expected term of the warrants and market interest rates. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The fair value of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis is as follows:

Intellectual Property
The Company has entered into two licensing agreements with major research institutions, which allow for access to certain patented technology and know-how. Payments under those agreements are capitalized and amortized to selling, general and administrative expense over the expected useful life of the acquired technology.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and reduced by accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life for equipment and furniture ranges from three to seven years. Tangible assets acquired for research and development activities and that have alternative use are capitalized over the useful life of the acquired asset. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed, and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, which consist of licensed intellectual property, property and equipment and right-of-use assets 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 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 impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Credit Losses
The Company records a provision for credit losses, when appropriate, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. In estimating the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers, among other factors, the estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of the asset, primarily using historical experience and current economic conditions that could affect the collectability of the balances in the future. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes that it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. Actual write-offs may be in excess of the Company’s estimated allowance. The Company has not incurred any bad debt expense to date and no allowance for credit losses has been recorded during the periods presented.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out “FIFO” method) or net realizable value. The Company calculates inventory valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory, when appropriate, based on current inventory levels, movement, expected useful lives, and estimated future demand of the products and spare parts. The Company’s inventory is currently comprised of Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, OneRF Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products component, work-in-process and finished good product. The Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products and OneRF Products are produced by a third-party contract manufacturer and the Electrode Cable Assembly Products are obtained from outside suppliers. No inventory valuation allowance was required during the periods presented.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses comprise of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including 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. Non-refundable 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.
Advertising Expense
Advertising expense is charged to selling, general and administrative expenses during the period that it is incurred. Total advertising expense amounted to $38,543 and $49,272 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, 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 and litigation costs relating to corporate matters, intellectual property costs, professional fees for consultants assisting with financial and administrative matters, and sales and marketing in connection with the commercial sales of the Company’s products.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Accordingly, compensation costs related to equity instruments granted are recognized at the grant-date fair value over the requisite service period. The Company records forfeitures when they occur. Stock-based compensation arrangements to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with the applicable provisions of ASC 718.
Income Taxes
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 or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Net income (loss) per share
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per share of common stock is computed similarly to basic net income 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 warrants, stock options and restricted stock units, while outstanding, are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. Diluted net income or loss per share is computed utilizing the treasury method for the warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. Incremental common stock equivalents that were antidilutive were excluded in calculating diluted net income or loss per share. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, no common stock equivalents were included in the diluted net loss per share because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive given the net loss reported for the prior year period.
The following table presents the computation of weighted average common shares considered in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share during the three months ended December 31,

WARF License Agreement
The Company has entered into an exclusive start-up company license agreement with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) for WARF’s neural probe array and thin film micro electrode technology. The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Exclusive Start-up Company License Agreement (the “WARF License”) with WARF on January 21, 2020, which amended and restated in full the prior license agreement between WARF and NeuroOne, LLC, a predecessor of the Company, dated October 1, 2014, as amended on February 22, 2017, March 30, 2019 and September 18, 2019.
The WARF License grants to the Company an exclusive 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. The Company 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 2020, $100,000 for 2021 and $150,000 for 2022 and each calendar year thereafter that the WARF License is in effect. If the Company or any of its sublicensees 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 the Company if not for the WARF License, the royalty rate will be tripled for the remaining term of the WARF License.
WARF may terminate the WARF License 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 WARF License and fail to remedy such default in 90 days or in the event of certain bankruptcy events involving us. WARF may also terminate the WARF License (i) on 90 days’ notice if we had failed to have commercial sales of one or more FDA-approved products under the WARF License by June 30, 2021 or (ii) if, after royalties earned on sales begin to be paid, such earned royalties cease for more than four calendar quarters. The first commercial sale occurred on December 7, 2020, prior to the June 30, 2021 deadline. 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. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, $37,500 in royalty fees were incurred related to the WARF License during each of these periods and were reflected as a component of cost of product revenue.

NOTE 7 – Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue
On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Zimmer Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Zimmer pursuant to which the Company granted Zimmer the exclusive right and license to distribute its OneRF Ablation System for an upfront payment of $3.0 million, with eligibility for an additional $1.0 million payment from Zimmer upon achievement of certain specified net sales milestones.
The Company and Zimmer previously entered into an Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement dated July 20, 2020, related to the SEEG and Strip/Grid Product Systems, which was subsequently amended pursuant to the terms and conditions of a letter agreement dated January 6, 2021, a Second Amendment to Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement dated June 28, 2022, and a Third Amendment to Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement dated August 2, 2022 (collectively, the “EDDA”).The EDDAs executed prior to the Amendment granted Zimmer exclusive global rights to distribute the Strip/Grid Products and the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. Additionally, the Company granted Zimmer the exclusive right and license to distribute certain sEEG Products developed by the Company and together with the Strip/Grid Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products, the “Products”. In addition, under the prior EDDAs, the Company and Zimmer agreed to collaborate with respect to development activities through a joint development committee composed of an equal number of representatives of Zimmer and the Company.
Under the Amendment, Zimmer paid the Company $3.0 million for an exclusive RF Distribution License (the “RF Distribution License” and “License”) for commercialization of its OneRF™ product. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive a future milestone payment of $1.0 million upon reaching a one-time sales volume threshold.
The revised term under the Amendment (the “Term”) began on the effective date of the Amendment and will remain in effect until October 31, 2034. Upon the expiration of the Term, it may be renewed upon the mutual written of the parties. The Amended and Restated Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement may be terminated before the expiration of the Term in accordance with certain terms under the Amendment. In addition, the license rights granted to Zimmer under this Amendment shall be exclusive (i) until September 30, 2032 for the SEEG Products and Strip/Grid Products; and (ii) until October 31, 2034 for the OneRF™ Product System.

License Revenue
The Amendment was accounted for under the provisions of ASC 606 as a separate contract from the prior EDDAs. In accordance with the provisions under ASC 606, the Company identified the transfer of the RF Distribution License as the sole performance obligation of the RF Distribution License. The distribution rights granted to Zimmer, inclusive of the access to the underlying intellectual property for future production of the OneRF Product if required, was found to have significant standalone functionality as no additional substantive input was required by the Company on a go forward basis. Lastly, ancillary support related to the Amendment was concluded to be a perfunctory obligation and de minimis in terms of required resources.
The transaction price associated with the Amendment was $3.0 million, which was comprised solely of the One RF Exclusivity Fee and was allocated totally to RF Distribution License performance obligation.
Sales Volume Milestone and Payment
The sales volume milestone associated with the Amendment was determined by sales or usage-based thresholds. The sales volume milestone was accounted for under the sales milestone recognition constraint and will be accounted for as constrained variable consideration. The Company has applied the sales volume constraint to the milestone payment and will not recognize revenue until the sales volume threshold occurs.
Recognition of License Revenue
The Company determined that the RF Distribution License represented functional intellectual property given Zimmer’s access to the underlying intellectual property associated with the OneRF Product. As such, the revenue related to the licenses was recognized at the point in time in which the license/know-how was delivered to Zimmer which occurred in October 2024. Revenue recognized under the Amendment during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $3.0 million.
Product Revenue
Product revenue related to the Company’s Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, OneRF Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products. Product revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $3,274,167 and $977,649, respectively. All product revenue was comprised of OneRF Product revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2024. There was no OneRF Product revenue recognized during the prior year period presented. OneRF Products were subject to the Amendment upon its execution in October 2024.

On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement (the “2024 Private Placement”), agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (i) 2,944,446 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,208,333 shares of common stock (the “PIPE Warrants”) at a purchase price of $0.90 per unit, consisting of one share and a PIPE Warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of common stock, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $2.65 million before deducting expenses. Issuance costs attributed to 2024 Private Placement amounted to approximately $0.2 million. The 2024 Private Placement closed on August 2, 2024.
The PIPE Warrants are exercisable beginning on the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $1.19 per share, subject to adjustment, and will expire on the third anniversary of the date of issuance. One of the Purchasers in the 2024 Private Placement included Paul Buckman, a director on the Company’s Board of Directors.
The PIPE Warrants were accounted for and classified as liabilities on the accompanying condensed balance sheets given certain price reset provisions not used for a fair valuation under a fixed for fixed settlement scenario as required for equity balance sheet classification. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to estimate the aggregate fair value of the PIPE Warrants. Input assumptions used were as follows on December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024: risk-free interest rate 4.17% and 3.53%, respectively; expected volatility of 110.20% and 115.7%; respectively; expected life of 2.59 years and 2.84 years, respectively; and expected dividend yield zero percent for both dates. The underlying stock price used was the market price as quoted on Nasdaq as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024. The Company recorded the fair value change of the PIPE Warrants in the amount of $389,445 the fair value change in warrant liability line item on the accompanying condensed statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
At-The-Market Offering
On December 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Capital on DemandTM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“JonesTrading”) that created an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which the Company may offer and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $14.5 million. JonesTrading is entitled to a commission at a fixed commission rate of up to 3% of the gross proceeds. On July 24, 2023, the Company decreased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, such that the Company was offering up to an aggregate of $2.6 million of its common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares of common stock previously sold. Subsequently on December 1, 2023, however, the Company increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, such that the Company was offering up to an aggregate of $4.8 million of its common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares of common stock previously sold. On January 5, 2024, the Company further increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, such that the Company was offering up to an aggregate of $9.3 million of its common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares of common stock previously sold. On August 16, 2024, the Company increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement by $3.0 million.

NOTE 10 - Debt Financing
Debt Facility Financing
On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Debt Facility Agreement”) with Growth Opportunity Funding, LLC, as the lender (the “Lender”), which provided for a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million (the “Debt Facility”). The Company was permitted to borrow loans under the Debt Facility from time to time (collectively, the “Loans”), for general corporate purposes and subject to certain specified conditions, until the earliest of: (i) November 30, 2024, (ii) the occurrence of any Monetization Event (as defined in the Debt Facility Agreement) or Change of Control (as defined in the Debt Facility Agreement), or (iii) at the Lender’s option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Debt Facility Agreement. On November 7, 2024, the Company terminated the Debt Facility Agreement, and no amounts were drawn under the Debt Facility Agreement. The Company paid a termination fee of $125,000 to the Lender and incurred additional legal fees of $7,091 related to the termination. The Company also incurred non-termination Debt Facility costs of $192,647 during the three-months ended December 31, 2024.

At closing of the Debt Facility, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant exercisable for five years for 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.66 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Closing Date Debt Facility Warrant”). The Closing Date Debt Facility Warrant was accounted for and classified as equity on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
NOTE 11 – Concentrations
Revenue
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, one customer accounted for 91% of the Company’s product revenue and three customers accounted for the remaining 9% of product revenue. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, one customer accounted for all of the Company’s product and license revenue.
Supplier concentration
One contract manufacturer produces all of the Company’s Strip/Grid Products and sEEG Products and another supplier was responsible for the development of the Company’s OneRF Ablation system.
NOTE 12 – Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was zero percent. As a result of the analysis of all available evidence as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Consequently, the Company reported no income tax benefit during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 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.
NOTE 13 – Subsequent Events
2017 Plan Evergreen Provision
Effective January 1, 2025, 1,124,446 shares were added to the 2017 Plan as a result of the evergreen provision. See Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation.

Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of thin film electrode technology for continuous electroencephalogram (“cEEG”) and stereoelectrocencephalography (“sEEG”), spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation, drug delivery and ablation solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders. We are also developing the capability to use our sEEG electrode technology to deliver drugs or gene therapy while being able to record brain activity before, during, and after delivery. Additionally, we are investigating the potential applications of our technology associated with artificial intelligence.
We have 510(k) clearance for three of our devices from the FDA, including: (i) our Evo cortical electrode technology for recording, monitoring, and stimulating brain tissue for up to 30 days, (ii) our Evo sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 days) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain, and (iii) our OneRF ablation system for creation of radiofrequency lesions in nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures. Our other products are still under development.
We distribute our cEEG strip/grid electrodes, cable assembly products and our OneRF Ablation System with Zimmer Biomet.
We have incurred mostly losses since inception. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $73.2 million, primarily as a result of expenses incurred in connection with our research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses associated with our operations and interest expense, fair value adjustments and loss on extinguishments related to our debt, offset in part by license and product revenues.
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation
Form 10-Q
Prior to FDA clearance of certain of our products, our main sources of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were proceeds from the issuances of notes, common stock, warrants and unsecured loans. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources” below. While we have begun to generate revenue from the sale of products based on our cEEG and sEEG technology, and OneRF System, and through milestone and other payments from our current collaboration and distribution arrangement with Zimmer, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future until and unless we generate a higher level of revenue from commercial sales, and we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations through public or private equity or debt financings, through collaborations or partnerships with other companies or other sources.
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 Resources—Liquidity Outlook” below.
Recent Developments
Corporate Updates
Zimmer Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement
On October 25, 2024, we entered into the Zimmer Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Zimmer, Inc. (“Zimmer”) pursuant to which we granted Zimmer the exclusive right and license to distribute our OneRF Ablation System for an upfront payment of $3.0 million, with eligibility for an additional $1.0 million payment from Zimmer upon achievement of certain specified net sales milestones.
We previously entered into an Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement dated July 20, 2020 with Zimmer, related to the SEEG and Strip/Grid Product Systems, which was subsequently amended pursuant to the terms and conditions of a letter agreement dated January 6, 2021, a Second Amendment to Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement dated June 28, 2022, and a Third Amendment to Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement dated August 2, 2022 (collectively, the “EDDA”).The EDDAs executed prior to the Amendment granted Zimmer exclusive global rights to distribute the Strip/Grid Products and the Electrode Cable Assembly Products.

Nasdaq Notice
As previously reported, on July 11, 2024, we received a letter (the “Bid Price Deficiency Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, it was not compliant with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had a period of 180 calendar days from July 11, 2024, or until January 7, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
On January 8, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff indicating the Company’s continued non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The letter further informed us that our common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company appeals the Staff’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).
On January 15, 2025, the Company requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the determination by the Staff, and to present its plan to regain and sustain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The request was granted and a hearing was scheduled for February 20, 2025.
On February 3, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq that the Company’s bid price deficiency had been cured and that the Company was in compliance with all applicable listing standards.
Based on the foregoing, the previously scheduled Nasdaq hearing has been cancelled and the matter is now closed.
Financing
Debt Facility Agreement
In August 2024, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Debt Facility Agreement”) with Growth Opportunity Funding, LLC, as the Lender, which provided for a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million. On November 7, 2024, we mutually agreed with the Lender to terminate the loan facility under which no amounts were drawn under the facility.
Global Economic Conditions
Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected our access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms or at all. If economic conditions continue to decline, our future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation
Form 10-Q
Our operating results could be materially impacted by changes in the overall macroeconomic environment and other economic factors. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, increased inflation, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, and steps taken by governments and central banks, have led to higher inflation, which has led to an increase in costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including increased interest rates.
Financial Overview
Product Revenue
Our product revenue was derived from the sale of our Strip/Grid Products, the sEEG Products and the Electrode Cable Assembly Products based on Evo cortical electrode technology and the OneRF Products, which are products based on our OneRF Ablation System. We anticipate that we will generate additional revenue from the sale of products based on Evo cortical electrode technology and our OneRF Ablation System.
In November 2019, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for our cortical electrode for temporary (less than 30 days) recording, monitoring, and stimulation on the surface of the brain. In October 2022, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for our Evo sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 days) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain. In December 2023, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for our OneRF Ablation System for creation of radiofrequency lesions in nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedure.
Product Gross Profit
Product gross profit represents our product revenue less our cost of product revenue. Our cost of product revenue consists of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by our third-party contract manufacturers in connection with our Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, OneRF Products and outside supplier materials costs of producing the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. In addition, the cost of product revenue includes royalty fees incurred in connection with our license agreements.
License Revenue
The Company determined that the RF Distribution License granted under the Zimmer Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement represented functional intellectual property given Zimmer’s access to the underlying intellectual property associated with the OneRF Product. As such, the revenue related to the license was recognized at the point in time in which the license/know-how was delivered to Zimmer which occurred in October 2024. Revenue recognized under the Amendment during the three months ending December 31, 2024 was $3.0 million. For further discussion about the determination of license revenue, product revenue and cost of product revenue, and for a discussion of milestones and royalty payments under the Amended and Restated Zimmer Distribution Agreement, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Outlook” below and see “Note 7 — Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, 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 and litigation costs relating to corporate matters, intellectual property costs, professional fees for consultants assisting with financial and administrative matters, and sales and marketing in connection with the commercial sale of cEEG strip/grid, sEEG depth electrode, OneRF ablation system and electrode cable assembly products. We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities, further commercialization of our cortical strip and grid technology, ablation system and our depth electrode technology, 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.

Product Revenue and Product Gross Profit
Product revenue was $3.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024 with a gross profit and gross profit percentage of $1.9 million and 58.9%, respectively. Product revenue was $1.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023 with a gross profit and gross profit percentage of $0.3 million and 27.2%, respectively. The increase in gross profit percentage during the current period was largely due to the higher sales volume that exceeded fixed royalty and overhead period costs and due to lower overall material supply costs in the current period. Product revenue consisted of Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, OneRF Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products sales. The cost of product revenue consisted of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by our third-party contract manufacturers in connection with our Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products and OneRF Products, and outside supplier materials costs in connection with the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. In addition, cost of product revenue included royalty fees incurred of approximately $38,000 in connection with our license agreements during each of the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
License Revenue
License revenue was $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. License revenue during the current period related to the distribution license granted to Zimmer for the OneRF Product in October 2024. No license revenue was generated from the Amended and Restated Zimmer Development Agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The $130,000 decrease was primarily due to an overall decrease in legal, investor relations, and other professional service fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses included stock-based compensation of $270,000 and $243,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The $0.3 million decrease period over period was attributed largely to the timing of development of activities, which primarily included salary-related expenses and costs related to consulting services, materials and supplies associated with the development of OneRF Products, depth electrode products and to a lesser extent strip/grid products. Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation of $70,000 and $65,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The net change in fair value of the warrant liability during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $0.4 million benefit. The change was due primarily to fluctuations in our common stock fair value. There were no warrants outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2023 that were measured on a fair value basis.
Financing Costs
Financing costs during the three months ended December 31, 2024 consisted of the amortization of the deferred issuance costs associated with the debt facility (described further below) in the amount of $0.2 million and additional legal and loan facility termination costs of $0.1 million upon the termination of the Debt Facility in November 2024. We did not incur any financing costs during the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Other Income
Other income during the three months ended December 31, 2024 consisted of interest income in the amount of $9,000 attributed to our cash and cash equivalents.
Other income during the three months ended December 31, 2023 consisted of interest income in the amount of $46,000 attributed to our cash and cash equivalents.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of December 31, 2024, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate of approximately $1.1 million. While we began to generate revenue in fiscal year 2021 from commercial sales and through milestone and other payments under our agreement with Zimmer, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future until and unless we generate an adequate level of revenue from commercial sales to cover expenses. Our most significant cash requirements relate to the funding of our ongoing product development and commercialization operations. Our additional material cash needs include commitments under operating leases, royalty obligations under our intellectual property licenses with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research as well as other administrative services. See “Funding Requirements” below for more information. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we continue to develop and commercialize our electrode technology and pursue pre-clinical and clinical trials, seek regulatory approvals, manufacture products, market and distribute our OneRF Products, hire additional staff, add operational, financial and management systems and continue to operate as a public company. On August 2, 2024, we closed the 2024 Private Placement, a private placement of shares of common stock and warrants for total gross proceeds of approximately $2.65 million, and entered into the Debt Facility, a delayed draw term debt facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million which was ultimately not used.
Capital Resources
Our sources of cash and cash equivalents to date have been limited to license, collaboration and product revenues, along with proceeds from the issuances of notes with warrants, common stock with and without warrants and unsecured loans with the terms of our more recent financings described below.
August 2024 Private Placement
On August 1, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain Purchasers, pursuant to which we, in a private placement, agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (i) 2,944,446 shares of our Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.001 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,208,333 shares of common stock (the “PIPE Warrants”) at a purchase price of $0.90 per unit, consisting of one share and a PIPE Warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of common stock, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $2.65 million before deducting estimated expenses. The 2024 Private Placement closed on August 2, 2024. Issuance costs attributed to the 2024 Private Placement amounted to $0.2 million.
The PIPE Warrants are exercisable beginning on the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $1.19 per share, subject to adjustment, and will expire on the third anniversary of the date of issuance.
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants which became effective on September 13, 2024.
At-The-Market Offering
On December 21, 2022, we entered into a Capital on DemandTM Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“JonesTrading”) to create an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which we may offer and sell shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $14.5 million. JonesTrading is entitled to a commission at a fixed commission rate of up to 3% of the gross proceeds. On July 24, 2023, we decreased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, such that we were offering up to an aggregate of $2.6 million of our common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares of our common stock previously sold. Subsequently, on December 1, 2023, however, we increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, such that we were offering up to an aggregate of $4.8 million of our common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares of our common stock previously sold. On January 5, 2024, we further increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, such that we are offering up to an aggregate of $9.3 million of our common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares of common stock previously sold. Through December 31, 2024, we have issued 5,188,590 shares of common stock under the ATM for gross proceeds in the amount of $7.6 million. We incurred issuance costs in connection with the ATM in the amount of $0.6 million through December 31, 2024, of which $83,000 was reflected as a deferred cost on our balance sheet. On August 16, 2024, we increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement by $3.0 million.

Debt Facility Financing
On August 2, 2024, we entered into the Debt Facility Agreement with Growth Opportunity Funding, LLC, as the Lender, which provided for a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million. We were permitted to borrow loans under the Debt Facility Agreement from time to time, for general corporate purposes and subject to certain specified conditions, until the earliest of: (i) November 30, 2024, (ii) the occurrence of any Monetization Event as defined in the Debt Facility Agreement or a change of control, or (iii) at the Lender’s option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Debt Facility Agreement. On November 7, 2024, the Company terminated the Debt Facility Agreement, and no amounts were drawn under the Debt Facility Agreement. Total costs incurred under the debt facility financing was $0.4 million.
July 2023 Public Offering
On July 24, 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with The Benchmark Company, LLC, as underwriter (“Benchmark”), relating to the issuance and sale of 5,250,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price to the public of $1.00 per share (the “July 2023 Public Offering”). In addition, under the terms of the July 2023 Public Offering, we granted Benchmark an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 787,500 shares of common stock on the same terms (“the Overallotment Option”). The July 2023 Public Offering closed on July 27, 2023, and we completed the sale and issuance of an aggregate of 6,037,500 shares of our common stock, including the exercise in full of the Overallotment Option.
The net proceeds to us from the July 2023 Public Offering were approximately $5.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
Funding Requirements
As noted above, certain of our cash requirements relate to the funding of our ongoing product development and commercialization operations and our milestone and royalty obligations under our intellectual property licenses with WARF and Mayo. See “Item 1—Business—Clinical Development and Regulatory Pathway—Clinical Experience, Future Development and Clinical Trial Plans” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 for a discussion of design, development, pre-clinical and clinical activities that we may conduct in the future, including expected cash expenditures required for some of those activities, to the extent we are able to estimate such costs.
On January 21, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “WARF License”) with WARF, which amended and restated in full our prior license agreement with WARF, dated October 1, 2014. Under the WARF License, we have 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 2020, $100,000 for 2021 and $150,000 for 2022 and each calendar year thereafter that the WARF License is in effect. If we or any of our sublicensees 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.
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation
Form 10-Q
Under the Amended and Restated License and Development Agreement with Mayo (the “Mayo Development Agreement”), we have agreed to pay Mayo a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage of our product sales pursuant to the Mayo Development Agreement. See “Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report for more information about the WARF License and the Mayo Development Agreement.
Our other cash requirements within the next twelve months include accounts payable, accrued expenses, purchase commitments and other current liabilities. Our other cash requirements greater than twelve months from various contractual obligations and commitments include operating leases and contracted services. Refer to “Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report for further detail of our lease obligations and the timing of expected future payments. Contracted services include agreements with third-party service providers for clinical research, product development, manufacturing, supplies, payroll services, equipment maintenance services, and audits for periods up to fiscal year 2027.
We expect to satisfy our short-term and long-term obligations through cash on hand and, until we generate an adequate level of revenue from commercial sales to cover expenses, if ever, from future equity and debt financings.
Liquidity Outlook
For a discussion of potential fee payments under the Amended and Restated Zimmer Development Agreement, see “Note 7 — Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report. Even though we have received regulatory clearance to expand the use of our Evo sEEG electrode technology for up to 30 days, commercial sales of the sEEG electrodes and OneRF Products are expected to take some time to be a significant source of liquidity. Zimmer has exclusive global rights to distribute our strip and grid cortical electrodes, depth electrodes and electrode cable assembly products. Zimmer’s failure to timely develop or commercialize these products would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. On October 2024, we entered into an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement with Zimmer to provide Zimmer with the exclusive right and license to distribute also our OneRF Ablation System for an upfront payment of $3.0 million, with eligibility for an additional $1.0 million payment from Zimmer upon achievement of certain specified net sales milestones.
At December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate of approximately $1.1 million. Management has noted the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in the report on our financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, noting the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our existing cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses through at least twelve months from the date of this filing. To continue to fund operations, we will need to secure additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings, through collaborations or partnerships with other companies or other sources. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any failure to raise capital when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan. If we are unable to raise additional funds, or if our anticipated operating results are not achieved, we believe planned expenditures may need to be reduced in order to extend the time period that existing resources can fund our operations. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital, it may have a material adverse effect on our operations and the development of our technology, or we may have to cease operations altogether.
The development and commercialization of our cortical strip, grid electrode, depth electrode, ablation system technology and future products and technology is subject to numerous uncertainties, and we could use our cash and cash equivalent 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 further regulatory approvals and achieving 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.

The following is a summary of cash flows for each of the periods set forth below.
| | For the Three Months Ended | |
| | December 31, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | 208,049 | | | $ | (3,809,391 | ) |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (24,416 | ) | | | (37,131 | ) |
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | | | (509,325 | ) | | | 1,205,014 | |
Net decrease in cash | | $ | (325,692 | ) | | $ | (2,641,508 | ) |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which consisted of net income of $1.8 million inclusive of non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization related to intangible assets and deferred costs, non-cash lease expense, fair value change in warrant liability and reclass of debt facility termination costs totaling approximately $0.4 million in the aggregate. The net change in our net operating assets and liabilities associated with fluctuations in our operating activities resulted in a net cash use of approximately $2.0 million. The net cash use stemming from the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable in connection with the Zimmer Distribution Agreement and to a decrease in accrued expenses and accounts payable, offset in part by decreases in prepaid expenses and inventory on hand attributed to the timing of payments and purchases.
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, which consisted of a net loss of $3.3 million partially offset by non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization related to intangible assets and non-cash lease expense, totaling approximately $0.4 million in the aggregate. The net change in our net operating assets and liabilities associated with fluctuations in our operating activities resulted in a net cash use of $0.9 million. The net cash use stemming from the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable in connection with the Zimmer Distribution Agreement and to a decrease in accrued expenses, offset in part by decreases in prepaid expenses and inventory on hand attributed to the timing of payments and purchases.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $24,000 and consisted of outlays for purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $37,000 and consisted of outlays for purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities

In addition, there were common stock repurchases for the payment of withholding taxes.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, which consisted of net proceeds in connection with the ATM, offset in a small part by common stock repurchases for the payment of withholding taxes.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely 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 and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described in Note 3 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.
Of these policies, the following are considered critical to an understanding of our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report as they require the application of the most subjective and the most complex judgments:
Revenues:
For discussion about the determination of license revenue and product revenue, see “Note 7 — Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report. To date, we have not had, nor expect to have in the future, significant variable consideration adjustments related to product revenue, such as chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns.
Stock-based Compensation
For discussions about the application of grant date fair value associated with our stock-based compensation, see “Note 8 — Stock-Based Compensation” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.
Fair Value of Warrant liability
We issued warrants in connection with our August 2024 Private Placement. The warrants were classified as a liability on our balance sheet and were recorded at fair value as certain provisions precluded equity accounting treatment for these instruments. We will continue to adjust the liabilities for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise, expiration, or until such time that cash settlement or indexation provisions are no longer in effect for the warrants. For discussions about the application of fair value associated with the warrants, see “Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity” included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth elsewhere in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. Such factors, if they were to occur, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements in this Report, and materially adversely affect our financial condition or future results. Although we are not aware of any other factors that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Company’s financial condition or future results, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business, financial condition and/or operating results.
