NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
October 31, 2022
The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2022 was derived from audited annual consolidated financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NIMS”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements reflect adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of October 31, 2022, and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended October 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company’s accounting policies continue unchanged from July 31, 2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2022.
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Organization. Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NIMS”). The Company previously developed and marketed its Exer-Rest ® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms based upon unique, patented whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) technology of which the Company maintains patents. The Company maintains limited administration, but does not have any operations or inventory.
Business. The Company is currently a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act).
Discontinued Operations. On May 3, 2019, the Company exchanged inventory for forgiveness of accrued unpaid rent. The Company has no inventory, no immediate plans to replenish inventory and has no current plans to develop or market new products.
Accordingly, the Company determined that the liabilities met the discontinued operations criteria in Accounting Standards Codification 205-20-45 and were classified as discontinued operations at October 31, 2022 and July 31, 2022.

Going
Concern.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming
it will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had net
losses of approximately $
The Company is seeking potential mergers, acquisitions and strategic collaborations. The Company is also exploring obtaining additional promissory notes from related parties. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard, and, if not successful, that it will be able to continue its business activities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems of Florida, Inc., which has no current operations, and NIMS of Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation, which has no current operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Discontinued Operations. For the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, results from operations for our Exer-Rest Business are classified as discontinued operations. The carve out of the discontinued operations (i) were prepared in accordance with the SEC’s carve out rules under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1B1 and (ii) are derived from identifying and carving out the specific assets, liabilities, operating expenses and interest expense associated with the Exer-Rest Business’s operations (see Note 3).
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, such as deferred taxes as estimates, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents.
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $
Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards and other potential future tax benefits has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized. The utilization of the loss carryforward is limited to future taxable earnings of the Company and may be subject to severe limitations if the Company undergoes an ownership change pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax years ranging from 2018 to 2022 remain open to examination by various taxing jurisdictions as the statute of limitations has not expired.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of October 31, 2022 and July 31, 2022. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest approximate fair values because they are short term in nature or they bear current market interest rates.
| 8 |
Loss Contingencies. We recognize contingent losses that are both probable and estimable. In this context, we define probability as circumstances under which events are likely to occur. In regard to legal costs, we record such costs as incurred.
Related Parties. The Company follows ASC 850 “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all relevant Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU’s”). Our conclusion was that they did not have any material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 3, 2019 the Company exchanged its inventory for forgiveness of accrued unpaid rent. Concurrent with the exchange management with the appropriate level of authority determined to discontinue the operations of the product segment.
The detail of the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the discontinued operations is as stated below:

The Company did t issue any shares of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021.
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock. In computing diluted net loss per share for the periods ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares because the assumed conversion of preferred stock would be anti-dilutive.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company consigned to Sing Lin the development and design of the next generation Exer-Rest and related devices. The Agreement commenced as of September 3, 2007 and had a term that extended three years from the acceptance by NIMS of the first run of production units. Thereafter, the Agreement automatically renewed for successive one year terms unless either party sent the other a notice of non-renewal. Either party was permitted to terminate the Agreement with ninety days prior written notice. Upon termination, each party’s obligations under the Agreement were to be limited to obligations related to confirmed orders placed prior to the termination date.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements .
This Interim Report on Form 10-Q contains, in addition to historical information, certain forward-looking statements regarding Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “NIMS,” also referred to as “us”, “we” or “our”). These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning the Company’s performance, financial condition, business strategies, and other information and that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, could differ materially from the activities and results implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to the Company’s: history of losses and accumulated deficit; need for additional financing; dependence on management; risks related to proprietary rights; other factors described herein as well as the factors contained in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2022. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance.
Overview
We previously were engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of non-invasive, whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) therapeutic platforms, which are motorized platforms that move a subject repetitively head to foot. The Company discontinued operations in May 2019, accordingly, certain liabilities are classified as discontinued operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. A more detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies can be found in Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.
Results of Operations
We had discontinued operations in May 2019. The Company is assessing potential mergers, acquisitions and strategic collaborations.
Three months ended October 31, 2022 Compared to Three months Ended October 31, 2021
General and administrative costs and expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) costs and expenses were $65,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 as compared to $57,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2021. The $8,000 increase was primarily due to professional fees.
Total operating costs and expenses. Total operating costs and expenses were $65,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 as compared to $57,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2021. The $8,000 increase is explained above in G&A.
Interest expense. Net interest expense was $6,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 as compared to $1,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2021. The interest expense is related to the Promissory Notes described in Note 7 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net loss. Net loss was $71,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 as compared to $58,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2021. This $13,000 increase is primarily attributable to professional fees and interest expense as noted above.
| 12 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s operations have been primarily financed through private sales of its equity securities and advances under promissory notes.
At October 31, 2022, we had approximately $89,000 of cash and negative working capital of approximately $484,000. We believe that the cash on hand at October 31, 2022 is not sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months. We are currently exploring promissory notes for additional capital.
We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. It is likely that we will be required to obtain additional external financing through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or collaborative agreements. No assurance can be given that such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Current economic conditions have been, and continue to be, volatile and continued instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital in a timely manner. Additionally, the sales of equity or convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders.
Net cash used in operating activities was $76,000 and $118,000 for three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This $42,000 decrease in cash used was primarily due to the change in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $150,000 for both three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of proceeds from Promissory Notes described in Note 7 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Not required for smaller reporting companies as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of October 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness identified below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2022, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
| 1. | Process and procedures – The internal control procedures over the completeness and accuracy of the general ledger information and the risk assessment process are not formally documented and may not be designed and operate with a level of precision adequate to prevent or detect misstatements. |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2022 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Remedial Actions to Address Material Weaknesses
Management has actively implemented a remediation plan to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated such that these controls will operate effectively. Consistent with the remediation plan we have conducted internal control training to address the lower levels of materiality in order to maintain internal control effectively against a material weakness as first reported in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2022. This remains an ongoing process.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
