NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Brain Scientific Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on November 18, 2013 under the name All Soft Gels Inc. On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired Piezo Motion Corp (“Piezo”), a privately held Delaware corporation formed in January 2020. Upon completion of the acquisition, Piezo is treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer although the Company was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Piezo. The Company has two lines of operations. The MemoryMD subsidiary group is involved in cloud computing, data analytics and medical device technology in the NeuroTech and brain monitoring industries, seeking to commercialize its EEG devices and caps. The Piezo subsidiary group is focused on the ultrasonic standing wave-type piezo motor technology for rotary and linear motion and has experience in the research and development, as well as the manufacturing of piezo motors for high-tech industries across the globe. The Company is headquartered in Sarasota, Florida.

Reverse Merger and Corporate Restructure

On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Piezo and BRSF Acquisition Inc. to acquire Piezo (the “Acquisition”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on October 1, 2021 and, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of Piezo were exchanged for 29,520,454 shares of the Company’s common stock and Piezo became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

The Merger was effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger whereby Piezo was the acquirer for accounting purposes. Piezo is considered the acquiring company for accounting purposes as upon completion of the Merger, Piezo’s former stockholders held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company.

Pursuant to the Merger, the Company issued shares of its common stock to Piezo’s stockholders, at an exchange ratio of 2.93 shares of the Company’s common stock.

All references to common stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse recapitalization as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Acquisition Accounting 

The fair value of Brain Scientific assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based upon management’s estimates assisted by an independent third-party valuation firm.

The following table summarizes the allocation of purchase price of the acquisition:

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of its balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Piezo Motion Corp, Discovery Technology International, Inc., MemoryMD, Inc., MemoryMD – Russia and MemoryMD - Europe. All significant consolidated transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. Significant estimates include the useful life of property and equipment and assumptions used in the valuation of options, warrants and derivative liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.

The Company’s cash is held with financial institutions, and the account balances may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. Accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts with these financial institutions. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $1,621,012 and $277,989, respectively, in excess over the FDIC insurance limit.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw material, works in progress and finished goods that are valued at lower of cost or market using the weighted average method. 

Property and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the assets estimated service lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred, and betterments are capitalized. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations of the respective period. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years.

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

Amortization expense is included in the consolidated income statement within general and administrative expenses.

The asset is tested annually and during interim periods for impairment if there is a trigger for impairment.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or whenever we identify certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, macro and reporting unit specific economic factors (for example, interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and loss of key personnel), supply costs, unanticipated competitive activities, and acts by governments and courts.

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company has issued convertible notes, which contain variable conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest automatically convert into common shares at a fixed price which may be at a discount to the common stock at the time of conversion. For certain notes, the conversion features are contingent upon future events, whereby, the holder agreed not to convert until the contingent future event has occurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract). The Company has determined that product delivery is the primary performance obligation, and as such recognizes revenues upon delivery to the customer.

If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of NeuroCaps, as well as revenue from the sale of goods purchased through manufacturers of medical devices. Primarily all revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are from the sale of medical devices purchased from Neurotech. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $14,482 related to the sales of Piezo evaluation kits.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses all research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development includes expenditures in connection with in-house research and development salaries and staff costs, application and filing for regulatory approval of proposed products, regulatory and scientific consulting fees, as well as contract research, data collection, and monitoring, related to the research and development of the cloud infrastructure, data imaging, and proprietary products and technology. Research and development costs recognized in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $56,684 and $224,405, respectively. Research and development costs recognized in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $48,282 and $147,324, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs recognized in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $165,414 and $570,666, respectively. Advertising and marketing costs recognized in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $260,832 and $498,583, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options and warrants. Equity-based compensation expense is recorded in administrative expenses based on the classification of the employee or vendor. The determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as by assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock equivalents such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt instruments. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented are identical. In the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 159,239,497, and 0 anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are measured and recorded at fair value based on inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, management considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact, and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

Fair value is determined for assets and liabilities using a three-tiered value hierarchy into which these assets and liabilities are grouped based upon significant inputs as follows:

The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, convertible notes, accounts payable, loans payable and due to others approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a Level 3 financial instrument related to the derivative liabilities related to the issuance of convertible debt and warrants. The Company did not have any other Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2021. 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset-and-liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. 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 bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The standard applies to all tax positions and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The first step involves assessing whether the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical merits. The second step involves measurement of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position in the financial statements if it believes that the position is more likely than not to be sustained by the relevant taxing authority. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no unrecognized uncertain income tax positions.

Reclassification

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had $209,484 in revenues, a net loss of $9,110,360 and had net cash used in operations of $4,691,693. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit and negative working capital of $31,389,283 and $4,353,257, respectively. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Successful completion of the Company’s development program and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities, acceptance of the Company’s patent applications and ultimately achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investments or achieve an adequate sales level.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was a total amount of $80,000 and $95,000 of long-term prepaid insurance, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $8,635 and $25,704 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Depreciation expense was $7,538 and $19,376 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.  

Amortization expense was $192,365 and $577,039 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. There was no intangible amortization expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021.  

NOTE 9 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES – RELATED PARTY

Accounts payable related parties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consists of accrued director’s fees in the amount of $75,000.

NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Short Term

Assumed convertible debt

As part of the merger, the Company assumed $891,133 of outstanding convertible debt. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company paid off $574,133, and signed an amendment to one of the debt agreements increasing the debt by $20,000, resulting in an outstanding balance of the assumed convertible debt as of December 31, 2021 of $337,000. The assumed convertible debt is made up of the 2019 Note and the Convertible Grid note whose terms are described below. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company converted the Grid Notes totaling $250,000 into common stock, added $33,000 of accrued interest to the 2019 Note principal as per an amendment to the agreement, and paid off $30,000 of principal of the 2019 Note, resulting in a balance of $90,000 at September 30, 2022.

2019 Note

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued and sold to a third party a Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $275,000 (the “Note”), and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”). A one-time interest charge of 8% was applied on December 31, 2019 and will be payable, along with the Principal, on the maturity date.

On December 30, 2021, the Company signed an allonge amending the Note extending the maturity date to April 30, 2022 and amending the outstanding balance and payment schedule to provide for two equal payments of $60,000 on March 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022. On March 31, 2022 the Company signed an allonge amending the Note, extending the maturity date to December 31, 2022 and amended the outstanding balance and payment schedule to provide for seven monthly payments of $10,000 plus interest at the rate of 14% per annum. The first monthly payment is payable on June 30, 2022. A final payment of $50,000 plus interest is due upon maturity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company added accrued interest of $33,000 to the 2019 Note principal as per an amendment to the agreement, and paid off $30,000 of principal of the 2019 Note, resulting in a balance of $90,000 at September 30, 2022.

The unpaid outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the investor. The conversion price was set at the merger to $0.28 which is equal to 80% multiplied by the price per share used in the merger calculations.

The Note contains a price-based anti-dilution provision, pursuant to which the conversion price of the Note shall be reduced upon the occurrence of certain dilutive issuances of Company securities as set forth in the Note. The conversion of the Note is also subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. In the event the Company, prior to the maturity date of the Note, issues any Security (as defined in the Note) with any term more favorable to the holder of such Security or with a term in favor of the holder of such Security that was not similarly provided to the Investor, then at the Investor’s option such term shall become a part of the Note. The Company also agreed to provide piggy-back registration rights to the investor pursuant to which the Company shall include all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note on the next registration statement the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Note contains events of default which, among other things, entitle the Investor to accelerate the due date of the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Note. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the outstanding balance shall immediately and automatically increase to 130% of the outstanding balance immediately prior to the event of default, and the conversion price of the Note shall be redefined to equal 65% of the lowest trade accruing during the 10 consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Note) immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date (as defined in the Note). Nickolay Kukekov, a director of the Company, and a third party, each has personally guaranteed the repayment of the Note.

The Warrant has an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustments as provided in the Warrant, and has a term of five years. The Warrant contains a price-based anti-dilution provision, pursuant to which the exercise price of the Warrant shall be reduced upon the occurrence of certain dilutive issuances of securities as set forth in the Warrant, with a corresponding increase in the number of shares underlying the Warrant if the dilutive event occurs during the first three years of the Warrant, and a cashless exercise provision. The exercise of the Warrant is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Convertible Grid Notes

On April 21, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Grid Promissory Note (the “Caleca Note”) to Thomas J. Caleca (“Caleca”), an existing stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which Caleca agreed to advance to the Company the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 (the “Caleca Aggregate Advance”). The Company also issued to Caleca a common stock purchase warrant (the “Caleca Warrant”), granting Caleca the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.80 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Caleca Warrant).

Also on April 21, 2020, the Company issued a Convertible Grid Promissory Note (the “Brown Note”, and together with the Caleca Note, the “Grid Notes”) to Andrew Brown (“Brown”, and together with Caleca, the “Grid Investors”), an existing stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which Brown agreed to advance to the Company the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 (the “Brown Aggregate Advance”, and together with the Caleca Aggregate Advance, the “Aggregate Advance”). The Company also issued to Brown a common stock purchase warrant (the “Brown Warrant”, and together with the Caleca Warrant, the “Grid Warrants”), granting Brown the right to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.80 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Brown Warrant). The Grid Warrants are exercisable at any time commencing on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance of the Grid Warrants (as may be accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Grid Warrants) and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the issuance of the Grid Warrants. In 2021, the terms of the Grid Warrants were amended extending the first date of exercise to October 21, 2022.

The Grid Notes bear interest on the unpaid balances at a fixed simple rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (subject to a rate increase if the Company commits an Event of Default (as defined in the Grid Notes)), computed based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, commencing on the date of the respective advance and payable quarterly. The principal amount of the Aggregate Advance, or so much thereof as has been advanced to the Company by the Grid Investors from time to time pursuant to the Grid Notes, was payable on April 21, 2021, which was amended to April 21, 2022. The Company had a total outstanding principal balance of $250,000 as of December 31, 2021 and accrued interest and $28,032 as of December 31, 2021, respectively. On April 20, 2022, the Grid Notes and accrued interest were converted into 287,282 shares of common stock.

2022 Notes

On June 13, 2022, the Company consummated the first closing of a private placement offering whereby the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA), dated as of June 13, 2022 with thirteen accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors purchased from the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,110,000, (i) 10% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “2022 Notes”), in the principal amount of $5,659,500 and (ii) 18,896,493 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at the same price as the debt conversion price. In addition, 2,015,626 warrants were issued to the book-runner of this offering (together with the 18,896,493 investor warrants – the “2022 warrants”). The 2022 Notes mature on June 13, 2023 and bear interest at an annual rate of 10%. Due the issuance costs and the derivatives associated with the 2022 Notes (see below), the Company recorded a debt discount of 4,470,289, which will be amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the loan. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded discount amortization in the form of interest expense in the amounts of $553,200 and $633,312, respectively. The balance of the discount at September 30, 2022 was $3,836,977

The 2022 Warrants shall be exercisable at any time on or after the earlier of (i) the maturity date; or (ii) the closing of a registered offering of the Company’s securities for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000, resulting in the listing for trading of the Common Stock on the NYSE American or The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Qualified Offering”), and on or prior to December 13, 2028 (if no Qualified Offering has been consummated occurred on or prior to the maturity date of the 2022 Notes) or the date that is five years and nine months following the closing of the Qualified Offering.

The 2022 Notes contain mandatory and voluntary conversion features as follows:

(a) Mandatory Conversion.

In the event a Qualified Offering is consummated prior to the maturity date of the 2022 Notes, the 2022 Notes automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, immediately upon the occurrence of a Qualified Offering (the “Mandatory Conversion”). The exercise price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant shall mean, in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, the price of the Common Stock (or unit, if units are offered in the Qualified Offering) in the Qualified Offering.

(b) Voluntary Conversion.

The holders of the 2022 Notes have the right (subject to the conversion limitations set forth therein) from time following the maturity date and prior to a Mandatory Conversion to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest then due under the 2022 Notes into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Voluntary Conversion”). The exercise price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant shall mean, in the case of a Voluntary Conversion, the lower of (i) $0.25 per share or (ii) 75% of the average of the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period immediately prior to the maturity date.

In connection with the Offering, each of Piezo, and Memory MD, Inc., (the “Company Subsidiaries”) agreed to execute, in favor of the holders of the 2022 Notes, a guarantee to jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to the holders the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the Company’s obligations pursuant to the SPA.

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a security agreement by and among the Company, each of the holders and the Company Subsidiaries, whereby the Company agreed to grant each of the holders a security interest in all of the assets of the Company, to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the 2022 Notes and the Company Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Guarantee.

Long Term

2021 Notes

In conjunction with the closing of the Merger on October 1, 2021, the Company conducted an initial closing under a private offering (the “Offering”) of 10% convertible promissory notes due and payable on April 1, 2023 (the “2021 Notes”). As part of the Offering, the Company exchanged the 2020 Notes and accrued interest as well as additional notes issued in 2021 with the same terms as the 2020 Notes and their accrued interest amounting to $4,328,407, as well as $1,540,508 of debt assumed in the merger into 2021 Notes. At the merger, the Company also issued a convertible promissory note to an investor in the amount of $2,950,000 with proceeds of $2,850,000 net of an original issuance discount, with the same terms as the 2021 Notes. The balance of the debt discount at December 31, 2021 was $83,364. Each holder of the 2021 Notes, provided that the note is still then outstanding, will be issued, on the earlier of (i) the date, if any, upon which the Company’s common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange (the “Uplist”), and (ii) the date that is eighteen months from the date of issuance, a warrant to purchase an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to such holder’s Warrant Share Amount. For purposes of the foregoing, a holder’s “Warrant Share Amount” means (i) if such Warrant is issued in connection with the Uplist, one half of the initial principal balance of such Holder’s Note at issuance divided by the lesser of (A) $0.40, and (B) and the greater of (x) $0.20 and (y) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the closing price for the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the date of the Uplist, and (ii) if such Warrant is issued otherwise than in connection with the Uplist, the initial principal balance of such Holder’s Note, divided by the lesser of (A) $0.40, and (B) and the greater of (x) $0.20 and (y) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the Company’s common stock over the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date that is eighteen months from the date of issuance. The 2021 Notes contain mandatory and voluntary conversion features as detailed in the agreement.

On December 21, 2021, the Company consummated the second closing of the Offering whereby the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with three accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors purchased from the Company, 2021 Notes in the principal amount of $900,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company consummated additional closings of the Offering whereby the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with additional investors, pursuant to which the investors purchased from the Company, 2021 Notes in the principal amount of $2,000,000.

As of December 31, 2021, the total amount of 2021 Notes principal outstanding was $9,718,915. As part of the issuance of the 2022 Notes, all of the 2021 Notes and accrued interest, as well as an additional 10% discount, was converted into shares of common stock. The holders of the 2021 Notes, in connection with their original investment, will also be entitled to warrants based on 50% coverage of their original investment amount. These warrants will have a term of four years after issuance and an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

NOTE 11 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the 2022 Notes (see note 10 above) under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable could exceed the Company’s authorized share limit, the equity environment is tainted, and all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the derivative liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion options and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date and revalued at each reporting period. The Company evaluated the fair value of the derivatives utilizing the “with and without scenario” using options pricing models and Monte Carlo simulation, and a probability weighted value. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of derivative liabilities in respect of the conversion feature and the warrants were $1,159,000 and $698,351, respectively.

The following are the data and assumptions used in the conversion feature derivative valuations at the respective dates:

The following are the data and assumptions used in the warrant derivative valuations at the respective dates:

The following tables summarize the components of the Company’s derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The Company entered into a lease agreement for office space located in Sarasota, Florida. The term of the lease is for a period of two years commencing on February 1, 2021 and ending on February 1, 2023. The rent is $6,530 per month for year 1, $6,726 per month for year 2 and $6,928 per month for year 3. The Company will account for the lease under ASC 842 whereby the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date.

The Company had a lease agreement with terms up to 2 years for the lease of office space. The assets and liabilities from operating leases were recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. This lease was settled on January 1, 2022, and the Company recorded a gain of $1,660 in respect of the early settlement.

Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company’s operating lease does not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate used at the date closest to lease inception.

The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 1.4 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 10.00%.

The Company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $64,490 and $0 which was included in “General and administrative expenses,” for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following table presents information about the amount and timing of liabilities arising from the Company’s operating lease as of September 30, 2022: 

At September 30, 2022, the operating lease right of use assets was $107,617. Supplemental balance sheet information related to the lease as of September 30, 2022 was:
