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 operations, 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 of operations, 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 operating
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, 2020. 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 assets,
liabilities and expenses 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 consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, 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 have discontinued operations in May 2019. The Company is assessing potential
mergers, acquisitions and strategic collaborations.
Three and six months ended January 31, 2021 compared to three and six months
ended January 31, 2020
General and administrative costs and expenses from continuing operations.
General and administrative ("G&A") costs and expenses from continuing operations
were $39,000 and $98,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2021,
respectively, as compared to $47,000 and $99,000 for the three and six months
ended January 31, 2020, respectively. The $8,000 and $1,000 decrease for the
three and six months was primarily due to a reduction in professional service
fees.

Total operating costs and expenses from continuing operations. Total operating
costs and expenses from continuing operations were $39,000 and $98,000 for the
three and six months ended January 31, 2021, respectively, as compared to
$47,000 and $99,000 for the three and six months ended January 31 2020,
respectively. The $8,000 and $1,000 decrease is explained above in G&A.
Gain from discontinuing operations. Gain from discontinuing operations was $0
for the three and six months ended January 31, 2021 and was $4,000 and $1,000
for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020, respectively, related to
settlement of our previous warehouse lease that was used for inventory.
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 January 31, 2021,
we had approximately $89,000 of cash and working capital deficit of
approximately $180,000.
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 $114,000 and $103,000 for six months
ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This $11,000 increase was
primarily due to increases in prepaid expenses.
