1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. “Rasna Inc.” or the “Company”), is a biotechnology company incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 28, 2016. The Company is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma. 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”) which is also the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

Risks and Uncertainties  

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or ability to secure additional cash resources, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of inflation and the economic environment on the Company, and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that inflation could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or ability to secure additional cash resources, there is no current impact as cash resources are currently secured by existing shareholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the Fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

Basis of preparation 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim reporting. The principles for condensed interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 9, 2022. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information.

The results of the operations for the three and sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2022. 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rasna Research Inc, and Rasna Research Inc’s subsidiary, Arna Therapeutics Limited. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the fair values of share based awards, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Net Income/(loss)loss per Share

Basic net income/(loss)loss per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss)loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options, warrants and convertible loan notes, using various methods such as the treasury stock, modified treasury stock, and if converted methods in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. Common stock equivalents are  included in the diluted income per share calculation only when exercise or conversion prices are lower than the average market price of the common shares for the periods presented. This does not apply to the diluted loss per share calculation.

Diluted loss per share does not include any common stock equivalents as their effects are anti-dilutive. 

The fully diluted earnings per share includes the shares issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding convertible loan notes for the three and six months to March 31, 2022.

The shares issuable on the exercise of options and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not intend to early adopt and continues to evaluate the impact of the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its operations.

3. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

The Company has no present revenue and has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities since inception. 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other pre-commercial stage companies, including its dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, testing, and obtaining related regulatory approvals of its pipeline products, suppliers and collaborators, successful protection of intellectual property, competition with larger, better-capitalized companies, successful completion of the Company’s development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

The Company has generally experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past two years, and as of March 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, had an accumulated deficit of $23,515,120,$24,161,543, a net incomeloss for the sixnine months March 31,ended June 30, 2022 of $19,359$627,064 and net cash used in operating activities of $142,770.$122,139.

The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next 12 months and will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. 

In the event that the Company is unable to secure the additional cash resources needed, the Company may slow current development phases or halt new development phases in order to mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern one year from the date of this filing. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

For the three and sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 there have been no charges for share based compensation.

For the three and sixnine months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, $17,796$5,106 and $35,988$41,094 related to share based compensation to directors and employees respectively, has been included within the general and administrative expense category in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

5. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

The table below summarizes outstanding convertible notes as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and March 31,June 30, 2021: 

On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into an eleventh 12% Convertible Promissory Note with Panetta Partners Ltd. (the “Holder”) with a maturity date of December 31, 2023. The Holder provided the Company with $30,000 in cash. The Note provides the Holder with the right to convert, at any time, all or any part of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.01 per share or (ii) the price of the next equity financing, which raises at least US $1,000,000, subject to adjustments noted within the Agreement. The number of shares issuable upon a conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price. The Note requires the Company to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock the amount of shares that would be issued upon conversion of the Note, which includes the outstanding principal amount of the Note and interest accrued and to be accrued through the date of maturity. 

On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into the twelfth 12% Convertible Promissory Note again with Panetta Partners Ltd. (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to the Holder. The Holder provided the Company with $55,000 in cash. All other terms were the same as the eleventh note.

On February 8, 2022, the Company entered into the thirteenth 16% Convertible Promissory Note again with Panetta Partners Ltd. (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to the Holder. The Holder provided the Company with $30,000 in cash. The Note provides the Holder with the right to convert, at any time, all or any part of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.005 per share or (ii) the price of the next equity financing, which raises at least US $1,000,000, subject to adjustments noted within the Agreement. The number of shares issuable upon a conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price. The Note requires the Company to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock the amount of shares that would be issued upon conversion of the Note, which includes the outstanding principal amount of the Note and interest accrued and to be accrued through the date of maturity. 

On March 2, 2022, the Company entered into the fourteenth 16% Convertible Promissory Note again with Panetta Partners Ltd. (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to the Holder. The Holder provided the Company with $45,000 in cash. All other terms were the same as the thirteenth note.

Amendment

On December 31, 2021, all previously outstanding notes due December 31, 2021 were modified with amended expiry terms. The expiry of the notes was amended to December 31, 2023.

The Company determined that the extension of maturity dates resulted in extinguishment for Notes carrying interest at 12%, while the Notes carrying interest at 1% resulted in modification.

The Company measured the present value of future cash flows that existed just prior to the earliest restructuring in the twelve-month period, which was used to apply the 10% test, since the earlier restructurings was accounted for as a modification. As the change in cash flows for all Notes carrying interest at 12% was greater than 10%, the term amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment. Under extinguishment accounting, the debt was remeasured and recorded at fair value. There was no difference between the carrying value of the debt, prior to the extinguishment, and the new fair value of the debt.

The Notes carrying interest at 1% did not have a change in cash flows greater than 10%, so these Notes were accounted for as a modification.

The Company also noted that the stock was thinly traded with any trading activity resulting in a disproportionate effect on the stock price. Therefore, a Black Scholes valuation was deemed to be inappropriate in this case.

On May 13, 2022, all outstanding notes with a principal value of $828,500 and accrued interest of $170,147 were converted into 111,071,358 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.01.

Embedded Derivative Liability

Under the promissory note agreement, the interest rate will reset upon the event of a default and an additional penalty of 6% will be accrued. The Company analyzed the conversion features of the note agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the interest rate resets met the definition of a derivative. It also noted that the Contingent Interest Rate feature required bifurcation from the host note contract and was to be accounted for at fair value. In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company bifurcated the Contingent Interest Rate feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.

The embedded derivatives for the notes are carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value. During the three and sixnine months to March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company recognized an additional $3,000 and $71,520$71,522 respectively due to the extension and issuance of the convertible notes. Additionally, the Company recognized a gain of $10,114$73,569 and $38,969$112,538 for the three and six monthnine months periods ended March 31,June 30, 2022, relating to the issuance and extension of convertible notes and the release of the derivative liability due to the conversion of the notes.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

The conversion features for all notes issued are in the money as of the issuance date and accordingly a beneficial conversion feature was recorded upon issuance. As the intrinsic value of the Beneficial Conversion Featurebeneficial conversion feature exceeds the face value, the recorded Beneficial Conversion Feature will bebeneficial conversion feature was limited to the gross proceeds less any debt discounts. As at March 31, 2022 this amounted toUpon conversion of the notes, the beneficial conversion feature of $596,481 for the amended and new notes issued. was fully amortized.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements 

This section and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A filed on January 15, 2021June 10, 2022 under the heading “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated herein by reference.

We assume no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Rasna,”,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and, where appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Company Background

To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development efforts relating to our therapeutic candidates, including conducting clinical trials and developing manufacturing capabilities, in-licensing related intellectual property, protecting our intellectual property and providing general and administrative support for these operations. Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities and convertible notes.

We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we:

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing losses for at least the next several years. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in addition to the net proceeds from this offering in order to obtain regulatory approval for, and the commercialization of our therapeutic candidates. Until such time that we can generate meaningful revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements or a combination of these approaches. If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of any approved therapies or products or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We only have one segment of activity, which is that of a biotechnology company focused on targeted drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma.

The Company is currently looking into raising funds to progress its R&D pipeline.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with US GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019 -12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). Among other items, the amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting treatment of tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods. An entity generally recognizes the effects of a change in tax law in the period of enactment; however, there is an exception for tax laws with delayed effective dates. Under current guidance, an entity may not adjust its annual effective tax rate for a tax law change until the period in which the law is effective. This exception was removed under ASU 2019-12, thereby providing that all effects of a tax law change are recognized in the period of enactment, including adjustment of the estimated annual effective tax rate. Regarding year-to-date losses in interim periods, an entity is required to estimate its annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year at the end of each interim period and use that rate to calculate its income taxes on a year-to-date basis. However, current guidance provides an exception that when a loss in an interim period exceeds the anticipated loss for the year, the income tax benefit is limited to the amount that would be recognized if the year-to-date loss were the anticipated loss for the full year. ASU 2019-12 removes this exception and provides that, in this situation, an entity would compute its income tax benefit at each interim period based on its estimated annual effective tax rate. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has determined that the effect of this amendment is immaterial on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Basis of preparation 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”).

Liquidity and Going Concern

We are subject to a number of risks similar to those of other pre-commercial stage companies, including our dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, testing, and obtaining related regulatory approvals of its pipeline products, suppliers and collaborators, successful protection of intellectual property, competition with larger, better-capitalized companies, successful completion of our development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill our development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. 

We have no present revenue and have experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities since inception, and at March 31,June 30, 2022, had a working capital deficit of $2,137,973.$1,785,749.

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months and will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. In the event that the Company is unable to secure the necessary additional cash resources needed, we may slow current development phases or halt new development phases in order to mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date of this filing. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern one year from the date of this filing. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support our cost structure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

We believe we will require significant additional cash resources to continue to launch new development phases of existing products in the Company’s pipeline. In the event that we are unable to secure the necessary additional cash resources needed, we may slow current development phases or halt new development phases in order to mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support our cost structure. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may (i) involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct, delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; (ii) seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize its self on unfavorable terms.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation,  the Chief Executive officer concluded that, as of the date of the evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
