NOTE  1. THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company

Aclarion, Inc., formerly Nocimed, Inc., (the “Company” or “Aclarion”) is a healthcare technology company that leverages magnetic resonance spectroscopy (“MRS”), and a proprietary biomarker to optimize clinical treatments. The Company was formed in February 2015, is incorporated in Delaware, and has its principal place of business in Broomfield, Colorado.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair representation of the results for the periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, which include a complete set of footnote disclosures, including our significant accounting policies. The December 31, 2023, condensed balance sheet was derived from the December 31, 2023, audited financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, its limited operating history, competition from other companies, limited access to additional funds, dependence on key personnel, and management of potential rapid growth. To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, develop its customer base; implement and successfully execute its business and marketing strategy; develop follow-on products; provide superior customer service; and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in addressing these or other such risks.

2024 Reverse Stock Split

In March 2023 the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split proposal at a ratio in the range of one-for-five to one-for-fifty, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company's board in its discretion without further approval from the Company's stockholders. In January 2024, the Company's board subsequently approved the final reverse stock split ratio of one-for-sixteen (the “2024 Stock Split”), which resulted in a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock, warrants, stock options and restricted share units and a proportionate increase in the value of each share or strike price of the warrants and stock options. The common stock began trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ on January 4, 2024.

As a result of the 2024 Stock Split, unless described otherwise, all references to common stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock splits for all periods presented. In addition, any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued as a result of the stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Further, the number of shares issuable and exercise prices of stock options and warrants have been retrospectively adjusted in these financial statements for all periods presented to reflect the 2024 Stock Split.

The following tables present selected share information reflecting on a retroactive basis the reverse stock splits as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Nasdaq notice regarding compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement

On April 8, 2024, Aclarion, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”).

The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business days for the period ending April 5, 2024, the Company no longer meets this requirement.

The Notice indicated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days (or until October 7, 2024) in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 calendar day period the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq staff (the “Staff”) will provide the Company with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

Alternatively, if the Company fails to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, provided (i) it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the Bid Price Requirement) and (ii) it provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure this deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period, and if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible, the Staff will provide the Company with written notification that its securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and is considering its options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Company’s receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Nasdaq Stockholder Equity Notice

On March 3, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Stockholder Equity Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing. In its annual report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2023 for the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,787,751, and, as a result, does not currently satisfy Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

The Stockholder Equity Notice also indicated that the Company had a period of 45 calendar days from the date of the Stockholder Equity Notice, or until April 17, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The Company submitted such a plan to Nasdaq on April 12, 2023.

On April 20, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Extension Notice”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it has been granted an additional 180-day period, or until August 30, 2023, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

On August 31, 2023, the Nasdaq staff notified the Company that it had not met the terms of the Extension Notice. Accordingly, the Nasdaq staff had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requests an appeal of the staff’s determination to a hearings panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series.

The Company requested a hearing before a hearings panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the delisting notice from the staff. The Company's hearing with the Panel occurred on October 19, 2023.

On November 7, 2023, we were notified by the Panel that the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq was granted, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and bid price requirement on or before January 31, 2024. The Panel subsequently extended this compliance date to February 27, 2024. On February 27, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 5,175,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.58 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, before deducting offering expenses. Each Unit was comprised of (i) one share of common stock or, in lieu of common stock, one prefunded warrant to purchase a share of common stock, and (ii) two common warrants, each common warrant to purchase a share of common stock.

On May 15, 2024, the Company filed a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ending March 31, 2024, and reported stockholders’ equity of $2,505,450.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had Stockholders’ Equity of $1,642,177.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), the Company uses various inputs to measure the outstanding warrants, certain embedded redemption features associated with the senior note to Aclarion, Inc. on a recurring basis to determine the fair value of the liability.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2, and 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measures at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category.

The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities associated with the Senior Notes Payable was estimated using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model to measure the fair value. This involves significant Level 3 inputs and assumptions including an (i) estimated probability and timing of certain financing events and event of default, and (ii) the Company’s risk-adjusted discount rate.

The fair value of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation using the following assumptions. 

NOTE  4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

To date, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE  5. REVENUE

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections may result in trade, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues on the balance sheets. At times, revenue recognition may occur before the billing, resulting in an unbilled receivable, which would represent a contract asset. The contract asset would be a component of accounts receivable and other assets for the current and non-current portions, respectively. In the event the Company receives advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, this would result in a contract liability.
