EMMAUS LIFE SCIENCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc., (formerly, “MYnd Analytics, Inc.”) and its PEERdirect and indirect consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Emmaus”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contain adjustments, including normal recurring accruals necessary to fairly state the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed by EMI Holding, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2019 (the “Annual Report”). Interim results for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

Going Concern Assessment

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Based on our loss to date, anticipated future revenues and operating expenses, debt repayment obligations and cash and cash equivalent of $13.5 million, of which $12.2 million was attributable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as of September 30, 2019, we do not have sufficient operating capital for our business without raising additional capital and therefore there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Organization and Nature of Operations

As of and for the period ending June 30, 2019, Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“Emmaus,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), formerly known as MYnd Analytics, Inc., was a predictive analytics product offering. On November 13, 2017, the Company acquired Arcadian Telepsychiatry Services LLC (“Arcadian”), which manages the delivery of telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health services throughcompany that had developed a nationwide network of licensed and credentialed psychiatrists, psychologists and master’s-level therapists. The Company is commercializing its PEER predictive analyticsdecision support tool to help physicians reduce trial and error treatment in mental health. MYnd’s patented, clinically validated technology platformhealth and provide more personalized care to patients. On July 17, 2019, the Company completed its merger transaction with EMI Holding, Inc., formerly known as Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“PEER Online”EMI”) utilizes complex algorithms, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 4, 2019, among the Company, Athena Merger Subsidiary, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Emmaus, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of May 10, 2019 (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to analyze electroencephalograms (“EEGs”which Merger Sub merged with and into EMI, with EMI surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). On July 17, 2019, immediately after completion of the Merger, the Company changed its name to generate Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry (“PEER”) Reports to predict individual responses to a range of medications prescribed for the treatment of behavioral disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and other non-psychotic disorders.

Going Concern Uncertainty“Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.”.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been preparedMerger was treated as a reverse recapitalization with EMI being deemed the acquiring company for accounting purposes under the acquisition method of accounting in conformityaccordance with U.S.accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In connection with and prior to the Merger, the Company contributed and transferred to Telemynd, Inc. (“GAAP”Telemynd”), which contemplate continuationa newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as a going concern. The Company’s operations are subject to certain problems, expenses, difficulties, delays, complications, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the operation of a business. These risks include the ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, if at all the failure to develop or supply technology or services to meet the demands of the marketplace, the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, competition within the industry, government regulation and the general strength of regional and national economies.

The Company’s recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.7 million and used $1.7 million of net cash in operating activities. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $87.6 million. In connection with these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, and negative cash flows from operating activities.

To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from equity financings.  As of December 31, 2018, the Company's principal sources of liquidity were cash balance of $1.5 million and amount available under Aspire Equity Line of Credit of $8.1 million. The Company will need to raise funds immediately to continue its operations and increase demand for its services. Until it can generate sufficient revenues to meet its cash requirements, which it may never do, the Company must continue to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic collaborations. The Company’s liquidity and capital requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its services, the future profitability of the Company, the rate of growthsubstantially all of the Company’s business, assets and other factors described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Company continues to explore additional sources of capital, but there is substantial doubt as to whether any financing arrangement will be available in amounts and on terms acceptableliabilities pursuant to the Company to permit it to continue operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary ifAmended and Restated Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2019, among the Company, is unable to continue asTelemynd and MYnd Analytics, Inc., a going concern.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementswholly owned subsidiary of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations(the “Separation Agreement”). On July 15, 2019, the board of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, changes in stockholders’ equity, results of operations and cash flowsdirectors of the Company declared a dividend with respect to the shares of the Company common stock outstanding at the dates andclose of business on that day of one share of the Telemynd common stock held by the Company for each outstanding share of the periods indicated.Company common stock after giving effect to the reverse split described below. The interim results for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2019 fiscal year or any other future interim periods. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunctiondividend, which together with the consolidated financial statementscontribution and accompanying notes includedtransfer of MYnd’s business, assets and liabilities described above, is referred to as the “Spin-Off.” Prior to the Spin-Off, Telemynd engaged in no business or operations.

On July 17, 2019, in connection with, and prior to the Company’s Form 10-K forcompletion of, the year ended September 30, 2018.Merger, the Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 


BasisAs a result of Consolidationthe Spin-Off and the Merger, since July 17, 2019 the Company has operated through EMI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and the ongoing business of the Company is the EMI business, which is that of a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, marketing and sale of innovative treatments and therapies, including those in the rare and orphan disease categories. As the acquiring company for accounting purposes, financial condition and results of operations of the Company reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for periods prior to the Merger are those of EMI. .

 

Principles of consolidationThe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the resultsaccounts of the Company, its wholly EMI and EMI’s wholly‑owned subsidiary, Arcadian. two professional associations, Arcadian Telepsychiatry PAEmmaus Medical, Inc. and Emmaus Medical, Inc.’s wholly‑owned subsidiaries, Newfield Nutrition Corp., Emmaus Medical Japan, Inc. (“Texas PA”EMJ”), Emmaus Life Sciences, Co. Ltd (“ELSK”) incorporated in Texas, Arcadian Telepsychiatry Florida P.A.and Emmaus Medical Europe, Ltd (“Florida PA”EM Europe”) incorporated in Florida, and two professional corporations, Arcadian Telepsychiatry P.C. (“Pennsylvania PC”) incorporated in Pennsylvania and Arcadian Telepsychiatry of California, P.C. incorporated in California (“California PC” and together the Pennsylvania PC, Florida PA and Texas PA, the “Arcadian Entities.”)

Arcadian is party to Management Services Agreements by and among it and the Arcadian Entities, pursuant to which Arcadian provides management and administrative services to each of the Arcadian Entities.  Each entity is established pursuant to the requirements of its respective domestic jurisdiction governing the corporate practice of medicine.. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Segmentseliminated.

We view our operationsThe Company also consolidates EJ Holdings, Inc., a Japanese corporation, as a variable interest entity (VIE) on the basis that the Company is an indirect 40% shareholder and manage our business as one operating segment.

Variable Interest Entities (VIE)

On November 13, 2017, Arcadian entered into a management and administrative services agreement with Texas PA and with Pennsylvania PC, for an initial fixed term of 20 years. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, Texas PA and Pennsylvania PC are each determined to be a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) as MYnd is the primary beneficiary with the ability to direct the activities (excluding clinical decisions) that most significantly affect Texas PA’s and Pennsylvania PC’s economic performance through its majority representation of the Texas PA and Pennsylvania PC; therefore, Texas PA and Pennsylvania PC are consolidated by MYnd. On January 19, 2018, Arcadian entered into a management and administrative services agreement with California PC, for an initial fixed term of 20 years. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, California PCVIE. The Company is determineddeemed to be a VIE and MYnd is the primary beneficiary with the ability to direct the activities (excluding clinical decisions) that most significantly affect California PC’s economic performance through its majority representation of California PC; therefore, California PC is consolidated by MYnd. On March 27, 2018, Arcadian entered into a management and administrative services agreement with Florida PA, for an initial fixed term of 20 years. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, Florida PA is determined to be a VIE and MYnd is the primary beneficiary with the ability to direct the activities (excluding clinical decisions) that most significantly affect Florida PA’s economic performance through its majority representation of Florida PA; therefore, Florida PA is consolidated by MYnd.

The Company holds a variable interest in the entities which contract with physicians and other health professionals in order to provide telepsychiatry services to Arcadian. The entities are considered variable interest entities since they do not have sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support. An enterprise having a controlling financial interest in a VIE must consolidate the VIE if it has both power and benefits—that is, it has (1)(a) the power to direct the activities of athe VIE that most significantly impactaffect the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2)(b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company has the power and rights to control all activities of the entities and funds and absorbs all losses of the VIE.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Refer to the Annual Report for a summary of significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 except for leases, which are discussed below. Below are disclosures of certain interim balances, transactions, and significant assumptions used in computing fair value as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and comparative amounts from the prior fiscal periods:

Revenues – Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the measurement or on the recognition of revenue of contracts for which all revenue had not been recognized as of January 1, 2018, therefore no cumulative adjustment has been made to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at the beginning of 2018.

The Company generates revenues through the sale of Endari® as a treatment for sickle cell disease (“SCD”) and to a much lesser extent from the sale of AminoPure®, a nutritional supplement.

Revenues from Endari® product sales are recognized upon delivery and transfer of control of products to the Company’s distributors and specialty pharmacy customers. Distributors resell the products to other specialty pharmacy providers, health care providers, hospitals, patients and clinics. In addition to distribution agreements with distributors, the Company enters into contractual arrangements with specialty pharmacy providers, in-office dispensing providers, group purchasing organizations, and government entities that provide for government-mandated or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products. These various discounts, rebates, and chargebacks are referred to as “variable consideration.” Revenues from product sales are recorded net of variable consideration.

Prior to recognizing revenues, the Company’s management forecasts and estimates variable consideration. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Provisions for returns and other variable consideration adjustments are provided for in the period in which the related revenues are recorded. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.  The following are our significant categories of variable consideration:

Sales Discounts and Allowances: The Company provides its customers contractual prompt payment discounts and from time to time offers additional one-time discounts that are recorded as a reduction of revenues in the period the revenues are recognized.


Product Returns: The Company offers its distributors a right to return product purchased directly from the Company based principally upon (i) overstocks, (ii) inactive product or non-moving product due to market conditions, and (iii) expired products. Product return allowances are estimated and recorded at the time of sale.

Government Rebates: The Company is subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs and the Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage gap program.  The Company’s management estimates Medicaid and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage gap rebates based upon a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for the estimated payor mix. These reserves are recorded in the same period the related revenues are recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenues and the establishment of a current liability that is included as accounts payable and accrued expenses in our balance sheet. The liability for these rebates consists primarily of estimates of claims expected to be received in future periods related to the recognized revenues.

Chargebacks and Discounts: Chargebacks for fees and discounts represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to certain specialty pharmacy providers, in-office dispensing providers, group purchasing organizations, and government entities at prices lower than the list prices charged to distributors. The distributors and pharmacy benefit management charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the products and the Company’s contracted selling price to these specialty pharmacy providers, in-office dispensing providers, group purchasing organizations, and government entities. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenues are recognized, resulting in a reduction of revenues. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale of products by the distributors.

Leases As described below under "Recent accounting pronouncements,” we adopted ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) as of January 1, 2019. Pursuant to ASU 2016-02, all of our leases outstanding on January 1, 2019 continued to be classified as operating leases. With the adoption of ASU 2016-02, we recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and an operating lease liability on our balance sheet. Right-of-use lease assets represent our right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and the lease obligation represents our commitment to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use lease assets and obligations were recognized based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, we have used an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at our adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and other operating costs are expensed as incurred. For all lease agreements, we combine lease and non-lease components. No right-of-use asset and related lease liability are recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

Prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-02, when our lease agreements contained tenant improvement allowances and rent escalation clauses, we recorded a deferred rent asset or liability equal to the difference between the rent expense and the future minimum lease payments due. The lease expense related to operating leases was recognized on a straight-line basis in the statements of operations over the term of each lease. In cases where the lessor granted us leasehold improvement allowances, we capitalized the improvements as incurred and recognized it over the shorter of the lease term or the expected useful life of the improvements.

The value of warrant derivative liabilities and the change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities were determined using a Binomial Monte-Carlo Cliquet Option Pricing Model. The model is similar to traditional Black-Scholes-type option pricing models, except that the exercise price resets at certain dates in the future. In connection with the Merger, the variable exercise price was fixed, and the warrants were reclassified to equity.

The value and the change in fair value of embedded conversion option liabilities were determined using a binomial lattice model. The model produces an estimated fair value based on changes in the price of the underlying common stock over successive periods of time.

The values as of September 30, 2019 and as of the Merger date were based upon following assumptions:

Net loss per share — As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had outstanding potentially dilutive securities exercisable for or convertible into 13,458,185 and 16,053,511 shares of Company common stock, respectively. No potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share since their effect would be anti-dilutive for the period ended September 30, 2019.

Recent accounting pronouncements— In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which represents a new credit loss standard that will change the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other financial instruments. Specifically, this guidance will require entities to utilize a new “expected loss” model as it relates to trade and other receivables. In addition, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, regardless of the length of time that a security has been in an unrealized loss position. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 remove some disclosures, modify others, and add some new disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnote disclosures.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) Targeted Improvements to Related Party guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”), which amends two aspects of the related-party guidance in ASC 810.


Specifically, ASU 2018-17 (1) adds an elective private-company scope exception to the variable interest entity guidance for entities under common control and (2) removes a sentence in ASC 810-10-55-37D regarding the evaluation of fees paid to decision makers to conform with the amendments in ASU 2016-17, Interest Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control. The amendments in ASU 2018-17 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-17 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 — INVESTMENTS

Equity Securities—Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 which requires the Company to measure all equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize in earnings any changes in such fair value. The Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, the Company has elected the measurement alternative under which the Company measures these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus


changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Management assesses each of these investments on an individual basis. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, management is required to make a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired; however, the Company is not required to determine the fair value of these investments unless impairment indicators existed. When impairment indicators exist, the Company generally uses discounted cash flow analyses to determine the fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $524,000 in impairment loss for equity securities without readily determinable fair values attributable to an investment in KPS Co., Ltd. The Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $41.4 million, net of $12.3 million income tax benefit, to increase the opening balance of retained earnings with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income as of January 1, 2018, in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-01.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying values of equity securities were included in the following line items in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

The weighted-average stated interest rate of notes payable was 10% as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The weighted-average effective interest rates of notes payable as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 12% and 35%, respectively, after giving effect to discounts relating to beneficial conversion features of these notes. The notes payable and convertible notes payable contain no restrictive financial covenants or acceleration clauses associated with a material adverse change event. The convertible debentures contain negative covenants.

Immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, all but one of the convertible notes payable were converted into shares of EMI common stock at their respective conversion prices. At the completion of the Merger, the converted shares were exchanged for shares of the Company common stock in the same manner as other outstanding shares of common stock of EMI based on the Merger “exchange ratio.” The unconverted convertible note payable of EMI is convertible into shares of common stock of EMI at conversion price of $10.00 per share as of September 30, 2019.

Our 10% senior secured convertible debentures were amended and restated immediately prior to the Merger to include, among other changes, an option to convert their debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $9.52 per share during the term of the debentures. The conversion feature of the debentures is treated as a conversion feature derivative liability.

Contractual principal payments due on notes payable and debentures are as follows (in thousands):

The Company estimated the total fair value of any beneficial conversion feature and accompanying warrants in allocating the proceeds from the sale of convertible notes payable. The proceeds allocated to the beneficial conversion feature were determined by taking the estimated fair value of shares underlying the convertible notes less the fair value of the number of shares that would be issued if the conversion rate equaled the fair value of common stock as of the date of issuance.

The Company issued warrants with our 10% senior secured convertible debentures. The fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with debentures were determined using the Binominal Monte-Carlo Cliquet Option Pricing Model with the following inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018 (See Note 8).

With respect to the notes that included both a beneficial conversion feature and a warrant, the proceeds were allocated to the beneficial conversion feature and the warrant based on their respective pro rata fair values.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Private placement — On September 11, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,020,501 units at a price of $2.50 per unit (the “Private Placement”). Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one common stock warrant for the purchase of an additional share of common stock. The aggregate purchase price for the units was approximately $7.6 million. In addition, 300,000 warrants for the purchase of a share of common stock were issued to a broker under the same terms as the Private Placement transaction (the “Broker Warrants”).

The warrants issued in the Private Placement and the Broker Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase, at any time on or prior to September 11, 2018, shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The warrants contain non-standard anti-dilution protection and, consequently, are being accounted for as liabilities, were originally recorded at fair value, and are adjusted to fair market value each reporting period. Because the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement warrants and Broker Warrants were not effectively registered for resale by September 11, 2014, the warrant holders have an option to exercise the warrants using a cashless exercise feature. The shares have not been registered for resale as of September 30, 2018. The availability to warrant holders of the cashless exercise feature as of September 11, 2014 caused the then-outstanding 2,225,036 Private


Placement warrants and Broker Warrants with fair value of approximately $7.1 million to be reclassified from liability classified warrants to warrant derivative liabilities and to continue to be remeasured at fair value each reporting period. On June 10, 2014, certain warrant holders exercised 1,095,465 warrants issued in the Private Placement for the exercise price of $3.50 per share, resulting in the Company receiving aggregate exercise proceeds of $3.8 million and issuing 1,095,465 shares of common stock. Prior to exercise, these Private Placement warrants were accounted for at fair value as liability classified warrants. As of June 10, 2014, immediately prior to exercise, the carrying value of these Private Placement warrants was reduced to their fair value of $1.8 million, representing their intrinsic value, with this adjusted carrying value of $1.8 million being transferred to additional paid-in capital. Also on June 10, 2014, based on an offer made to holders of Private Placement warrants in connection with such exercises, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,095,465 replacement warrants to holders exercising Private Placement warrants, which replacement warrants have terms that are generally the same as the exercised warrants, including an expiration date of September 11, 2018 and an exercise price of $3.50 per share.

The replacement warrants are treated for accounting purposes as liability classified warrants, and their issuance gave rise to a $3.5 million warrant exercise inducement expense based on their fair value as of issuance as determined using a Binomial Monte-Carlo Cliquet (aka Ratchet) Option Pricing Model. Because the shares of common stock underlying the replacement warrants were not effectively registered for resale by June 10, 2015, the warrant holders have an option to exercise the warrants using a cashless exercise feature. The availability to warrant holders of the cashless exercise feature as of June 10, 2015 caused the then-outstanding 1,095,465 replacement warrants with fair value of approximately $2.5 million to be reclassified from liability classified warrants to warrant derivative liabilities and to continue to be remeasured at fair value each reporting period.

As of September 11, 2018, all of the Private Placement warrants, replacement warrants and Broker Warrants had been exercised primarily on a cashless basis or had expired. 

Purchase Agreement with GPB—On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with GPB Debt Holdings II, LLC (“GPB”), pursuant to which the Company issued to GPB a $13 million principal amount senior secured convertible promissory note (the “GPB Note”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.5 million, which reflected a 4.0% original issue discount.

In connection with the issuance of the GPB Note, the Company also issued to GPB a warrant (the “GPB Warrant”) to purchase up to 240,674 of Company common stock at an exercise price of $10.80 per company share, with customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and other recapitalization events and anti-dilution provisions set forth in the GPB Warrant. If the Company effects a public listing of common stock for trading on any securities market or exchange, whether through a direct listing application or merger transaction, at a price per share less than the exercise price, the exercise price will be adjusted on a one-time basis to a 10% premium to the dilutive issuance price and the number of shares issuable under the GPB Warrant will be increased on a full ratchet basis. The GPB Warrant became exercisable six months after issuance and has a term of five years after the initial exercise date.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with SEC relating to the offer and sale by GPB of the common stock underlying the GPB Warrant within one hundred eighty (180) days of closing of a public listing of the Company’s Common Stock for trading on any national securities exchange (excluding any over-the-counter market), whether through a direct listing application or merger transaction. The Company is required to have the registration statement become effective on the earlier of (A) the date that is two-hundred and forty (240) days following the later to occur of (i) the date of closing of the public listing or (ii) or in the event the registration statement receives a “full review” by the Commission, the date that is 300 days following the date of closing of the public listing, or (B) the date which is within three (3) business days after the date on which the Commission informs the Company (i) that the Commission will not review the registration statement or (ii) that the Company may request the acceleration of the effectiveness of the registration statement. If the Company does not timely effect such registration, it will be required to pay GPB certain late payments specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

In February 2018, the Company prepaid the GPB Note in full. Upon such prepayment, the Purchase Agreement and the Company’s obligations under the transaction documents entered into pursuant to the Purchase Agreement terminated except for the GPB Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Purchase Agreement with 10% senior secured debentures—In October 2018, the EMI sold and issued $12.2 million principal amount of 10% senior secured debentures and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,220,000 share of EMI common stock pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated as of September 18, 2018 among EMI and limited number of accredited investors. The net proceeds of the sale of the debentures and warrants were used to fund EMI’s loan to EJ Holdings, Inc., a variable interest entity (“VIE”), reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


The debentures were amended and restated in their entirety in conjunction with the merger of the Company on July 17, 2019 as described in Note 12. As originally issued, the debentures bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly commencing November 1, 2018, and were to mature on April 21, 2020. The Company was to be obligated to redeem $1 million principal amount of debentures monthly, commencing in May 2019 and to redeem the debentures in full upon a “subsequent financing” of at least $20 million, subject to certain exceptions, or in the “event of default” (as defined). The Company’s obligations under the debentures were secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets, except for certain pledged marketable securities, and are guaranteed by the U.S. subsidiaries, Emmaus Medical, Inc. and Newfield Nutrition Corporation.

The common stock purchase warrants also were amended and restated in their entirety in conjunction with the Merger. As originally issued, the common stock purchase warrants were exercisable for five years beginning April 22, 2019 at an initial exercise price of $11.30 per share, which was to be subject to reduction if EMI became a listed company or its common stock became listed or quoted on a trading market based upon the public offering price or “VWAP” of the common stock. The exercise price also was subject to adjustment in certain other customary circumstances.

T.R. Winston & Company, LLC acted as placement agent in connection with the sale of the debentures and warrants pursuant to an amended and restated fee agreement with us dated October 1, 2018. In accordance with the fee agreement, EMI paid T.R. Winston a cash fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received from the purchasers, granted T.R. Winston warrants to purchase up to 120,000 shares of EMI common stock on the same terms as the common stock purchase warrants sold to the purchasers and reimbursed T.R. Winston for certain legal fees and expenses.

Effective as of March 5, 2019, EMI entered into a securities amendment agreement with the debenture and warrant holders which amended in certain respects the original securities purchase agreement provided that the debentures and warrants were to be amended in certain respects and restated in their entirety immediately prior to and subject to the completion of the then-pending Merger.  

Pursuant to the terms of the securities amendment agreement, (i) the debenture holders waived their right to the monthly redemption of $1,000,000 principal amount of the debentures that was due May 1, 2019 and their right to accelerate the repayment of the debentures in connection with the proposed Merger and (ii) the provision of the debentures requiring their mandatory redemption in connection with any “subsequent financing” was eliminated.  The debenture holders subsequently waived their rights to the monthly redemptions due June 1 and July 1, 2019 respectively.

The amended and restated debentures provide that the mandatory monthly redemption of $1,000,000 principal amount thereof will commence in November 2019 and that they will mature on October 21, 2020, six months later than the original maturity date of the debentures.  Unlike the debentures, the amended and restated debentures are convertible at the option of each holder into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 a share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, merger reorganizations and other customary events. The amended and restated warrants will be exercisable for up to an aggregate of up to 1,460,000 shares of our common stock, or 244,000 more shares than are currently purchasable under the original warrants, at an initial exercise price of $10.00 per share, or $1.30 less than the original exercise price of the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants was subject to reduction in connection with a “going public event,” such as the Merger based upon the “VWAP” (i.e., volume-weighted average trading price) of the Company common stock at the time of the Merger.   The exercise price also will be subject to adjustment for stock splits and other customary events.  Upon completion of the Merger, the exercise price of the warrants and the number of underlying warrant shares were adjusted based upon “exchange ratio” in the Merger. Subsequent to the Merger, exercise price of the warrants was adjusted in accordance with their terms to $5.87 per share based upon the VWAP of the Company common stock on the day following completion of the Merger.

Summary of Plans – Upon completion of the Merger, the EMI Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan was assumed by the Company. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan permits grants of incentive stock options to employees, including executive officers, and other share-based awards such as stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, stock bonus and unrestricted stock awards to employees, directors, and consultants. The Company also maintains a 2012 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan under which the Company may grant incentive stock options to selected employees including officers, non-employee consultants and non-employee directors. All outstanding stock options under the 2012 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan were fully vested prior to the merger.

Stock options—During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock. The options have an exercise price of $10.30 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company grantedstock options to purchase up to 357,000 shares of Company common stock. All of the options are exercisable for ten years of from the date of grant and will vest and become exercisable with respect to the underlying shares as follows: as to one‑third (1/3) of the share on the first anniversary of the grant date, and as to the remaining two‑thirds (2/3) of the shares in twenty‑four (24) approximately equal monthly installments over a period of two years thereafter.  

Upon completion of the Merger, the option exercise prices and number of underlying option shares were adjusted based upon “exchange ratio” in the Merger.

A summary of outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are presented below.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized approximately $3.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense arising from stock options, including $1.9 million of one-time adjustments resulting from the Merger As of September 30, 2019, there was approximately $1.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. That expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining period of 1.9 years.

NOTE 9 — LEASES

We lease 13,734 square feet of office space for our headquarters in Torrance, California, at a base rental of $48,087 per month. In December 2018, we have entered into an amended lease to expand our headquarter by an additional 7,559 square feet commencing September 9, 2019. The base monthly rent for this additional space of $27,590 will be payable commencing January 1, 2020. The amended lease will expire on May 31, 2026. We also lease an additional 1,600 square feet office space in Torrance, California, at a base rent of $2,240 per month and 2,986 square feet office space in New York, New York, at a base rent of $5,500, which leases will expire on January 31, 2020 and December 30, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Management Control Acquisition Agreement — On June 12, 2017, the Company entered into a Management Control Acquisition Agreement (the “MCAA”) with Telcon Holdings, Inc., a Korean corporation, and Telcon RF Pharmaceutical Inc. (formerly Telcon Inc. and herein “Telcon”), a Korean-based public company whose shares are listed on KOSDAQ, a trading board of Korea Exchange in South Korea. In accordance with the MCAA, the Company invested the ₩36.0 billion KRW (approximately $31.8 million USD) of the proceeds from the advance payment by Telcon Inc. under the API Supply Agreement discussed below to purchase 6,643,559 shares of Telcon Inc.’s common shares at a purchase price of ₩5,419 KRW (approximately $4.79 USD) per share.  

The MCAA was amended in certain respect and supplemented by an Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017 (the “September 2017 Agreement”), among the parties. Pursuant to the September 2017 Agreement, among other things, Telcon purchased 4,444,445 shares of Company common stock from two non-affiliated stockholders of the Company at a price of $6.60 per share.

On July 2, 2018, the Company entered into an additional agreement (the “Additional Agreement”) with Evercore Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (formerly Telcon Holdings Co., Ltd.) (“Evercore”) and Telcon. In the Additional Agreement, the Company agreed to use the proceeds from any sales of the Company’s KPM Tech Co., Ltd. shares to repurchase shares of Company common stock from Telcon at a price of $7.60 a share, subject to certain exceptions, and Telcon granted the Company the right to repurchase all or a portion of Telcon’s shares of Company common stock at a price of $7.60 a share until October 31, 2018 and at a price to be agreed upon after October 31, 2018.

Raw Material Supply Agreement — As described in Note 2, on June 12, 2017, the Company entered into an API Supply Agreement with Telcon pursuant to which it advanced to the Company approximately ₩36.0 billion KRW (approximately $31.8 million USD) in consideration of the right to supply 25% of the Company’s requirements for bulk containers of PGLG for a term of fifteen (15) years. The amount advanced to the Company was recorded as a deferred Trade Discount. On July 12, 2017, the parties entered into a Raw Material Supply Agreement which superseded the API Supply Agreement. The Raw Material Supply Agreement is effective for a term of five years with ten one-year renewal periods. The Raw Material Supply Agreement will automatically renew unless terminated by either party in writing. The Raw Material Supply Agreement provides that the Company will purchase from Telcon 940,000 kilograms of PGLG at $50 USD per kilogram, or a total of $47.0 million. The Company purchases from Telcon approximately $0.4 million of PGLG monthly under the Raw Material Supply Agreement. The PGLG purchased from Telcon is included in inventory at net realizable value (i.e., approximately $19 per kilogram as of September 30, 2019) with the excess purchase price being recorded as a charge against the deferred Trade Discount.

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

With respect to the following discussion, the terms, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Emmaus” or the “Company” refer to Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc., (formerly “MYnd Analytics, Inc.”) and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including EMI Holding, Inc. (“EMI”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the EMI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2019 (the “Annual Report”).

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, capital expenditures, cash flows, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, information regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash flow. Such statements reflect our management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, market acceptance of Endari®, our reliance on third-party manufacturers for our drug products, our exposure to product liability and defect claims, obtaining, and, or, maintaining the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other regulatory authorization to market Endari®, maintaining an active public trading market for our securities, and various other matters, many of which are beyond our control.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements. We undertake no duty to amend or update these statements beyond what is required by SEC reporting requirements.

Company Overview

We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, marketing and sale of innovative treatments and therapies, primarily for rare and orphan diseases. On July 7, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved Emmaus’ lead product, Endari® (L-glutamine oral powder), to reduce the severe complications of sickle cell disease, or SCD, in adult and pediatric patients five years of age and older, and in January 2018, we began marketing and selling Endari® in the U.S. Endari® has received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA and Orphan Medical designation from the European Commission, or EC, which designations afford marketing exclusivity for Endari® for a seven-year period in the U.S. and ten-year period in the E.U., respectively, following marketing approval.

Until we began marketing and selling Endari® in the U.S. in early 2018, we had minimal revenues and relied upon funding from sales of equity securities and debt financings and loans, including loans from related parties. As of September 30, 2019, our accumulated deficit was $216.9 million and we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.5 million, of which $12.2 million was attributable to EJ Holdings Inc., a Japanese company which we consolidate as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Until we can generate sufficient Endari® sales revenues, our future cash requirements are expected to be financed through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with pharmaceutical development, we are unable to predict if or when we will become profitable.

We were incorporated in Delaware on March 20, 1987 under the name Age Research, Inc. Prior to January 16, 2007, our company (then called Strativation, Inc.) existed as a “shell company” which nominal assets and whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge. On January 16, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with CNS Response, Inc., and CNS Merger Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which CNS Merger Corporation merged with and into CNS Response, Inc., which survived the merger. On March 7, 2007, we changed our corporate name to CNS Response, Inc. On November 2, 2015, we changed our corporate name to MYnd Analytics, Inc. As described above, on July 17, 2019, we changed our corporate name to Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.

Our principal executive offices are located at 21250 Hawthorne Boulevard, Suite 800, Torrance, California 90503, and our telephone number there is (310) 214-0065.


Financial Overview

Revenues

Since January 2018, we have generated revenues through the sale of Endari® as a treatment for SCD. We also generate revenues to a much lesser extent from AminoPure, a nutritional supplement.

Revenues from Endari® product sales are recognized upon delivery and transfer of control of products to the Company’s distributors and specialty pharmacy providers. Distributors resell the products to other specialty pharmacy providers, health care providers, hospitals, patients and clinics. In addition to distribution agreements with distributors, we enter into contractual arrangements with specialty pharmacy providers, in-office dispensing providers, group purchasing organizations, and government entities that provide for government-mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products. These various discounts, rebates, and chargebacks are referred to as “variable consideration.” Revenues from product sales are recorded net of variable consideration.

Prior to recognizing revenues, we forecast and estimate variable consideration. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Provisions for returns and other variable consideration adjustments are provided for in the period in which the related revenues are recorded. Actual amounts of variable consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. The following are our significant categories of variable consideration:

Sales Discounts and Allowances: We provide our customers contractual prompt payment discounts and from time to time offers additional one-time discounts that are recorded as a reduction of revenues in the period the revenues are recognized.

Product Returns: We offer our distributors a right to return product purchased directly from us based principally upon (i) overstocks, (ii) inactive products or non-moving product due to market conditions, and (iii) expired products. Product return allowances are estimated and recorded at the time of sale.

Government Rebates: We are subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs and the Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage gap program. We estimate Medicaid and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage gap rebates based upon a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for the estimated payor mix. These reserves are recorded in the same period the related revenues are recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenues and the establishment of a current liability that is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our balance sheet. Our liability for these rebates consists primarily of estimates of claims expected to be received in future periods related to recognized revenues.

Chargebacks and Discounts: Chargebacks for fees and discounts represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to certain specialty pharmacy providers, in-office dispensing providers, group purchasing organizations, and government entities at prices lower than the list prices charged to distributors.  The distributors charge us for the difference between what they pay for the products and our contracted selling price to these specialty pharmacy providers, in-office dispensing providers, group purchasing organizations, and government entities.  These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenues are recognized, resulting in a reduction of revenues. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale of products by our distributors.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the raw materials, packaging, shipping and distribution costs of Endari® and of AminoPure, nutritional supplement.


Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs consist of expenditures for new products and technologies, which primarily involve fees paid to contract research organizations (“CRO”) that conduct clinical trials of our product candidates, payroll-related expenses, study site payments, consultant fees, and activities related to regulatory filings, manufacturing development costs and other related supplies. The costs of later-stage clinical studies, such as Phase 2 and 3 trials, are generally higher than those of earlier stages of development, such as preclinical studies and Phase 1 trials. This is primarily due to the increased size, expanded scope, patient related healthcare and regulatory compliance costs, and generally longer duration of later-stage clinical studies.

The contracts with CROs are generally based on time and materials expended, whereas study site agreements are generally based on costs per patient as well as other pass-through costs, including, but not limited to, start-up costs and institutional review board fees. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones.

Future research and development expenses will depend on any new product candidates or technologies that we may introduce into our research and development pipeline. In addition, we cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which product candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree, if any, such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

Due to the inherently unpredictable nature of the process for developing drugs, biologics and cell-based therapies and the interpretation of the regulatory requirements, we are unable to estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of costs which will be incurred in obtaining regulatory approvals of Endari® outside of the U.S. and the continued development of our other preclinical and clinical programs. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations and can vary widely. These and other risks and uncertainties relating to product development are described in the Annual Report under the headings “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Development of our Product Candidates,” “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Reliance on Third Parties,” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Regulatory Approval of our Product Candidates and Other Legal Compliance Matters.”

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs, including share-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance, business development, information technology, marketing and legal functions. Other general and administrative expenses include facility costs, patent filing costs and professional fees and expenses for legal, consulting, auditing and tax services. Inflation has not had a material impact on our general and administrative expenses over the past two years.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel involved in the launch, promotion and marketing of our products. Other selling cost include advertising, commissions, third party consulting costs, the cost of contracted sales personnel and travel. We expect selling expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses to increase as we add additional sales and administrative personnel to support the commercialization of Endari®.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw material, finished goods and work-in-process and are valued on a first-in, first-out basis and at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Substantially all of the raw material purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was from one vendor.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues, Net. Net revenues increased by $1.2 million, or 25%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Substantially all of these revenues were from sales of Endari®, and revenues from sales of AminoPure were immaterial. The increase in net revenues is primarily attributable to the higher market acceptance of Endari® and expansion of our customer base. We expect Endari® revenues to continue to increase as we expand our commercialization efforts in the United States and abroad.


Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Cost of goods sold includes costs for raw material, packaging, testing, shipping and costs related to scrapped inventory. Substantially all of the raw material purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was from one vendor.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 56%, to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses related to our sponsored diverticulosis study. We expect our research and development costs to increase in the remainder of 2019 as the study progresses.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 46%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Selling expenses consist primarily of distribution fees, sales force fees, promotion, travel, marketing and branding expenses for Endari® and to a much lesser extent costs of distribution and promotion related to AminoPure. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to an increase of $0.1 million in contract sales force fees for Endari® and an increase of $0.5 million in salaries and other marketing activities including public relations, sales meeting and sponsorships. We anticipate that our selling expenses will increase during the remainder of 2019 as we expand Endari® marketing and sales activities.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 35%, to $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. General and administrative expenses include share-based compensation expenses, professional fees, office rent and payroll expenses. The increase of general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million in professional services, an increase of $0.4 million in share-based compensation, $0.3 million in salaries and an increase of $0.2 million in insurance expense. The increase in share-based compensation includes $1.9 million of additional one-time expenses resulting from the Merger. We will continue to review and adjust our general and administrative expenses and expect them to remain the same during the remainder of 2019.

Other Income (Expense). Total other expense increased by $39.2 million, or 234%, to $22.5 million of other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $16.7 million of other income for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in other expense was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $19 million in a change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities, an increase of $7.3 million in a change in the net loss on investment in marketable securities, an increase of $6.4 million of loss on debt extinguishment, additional $3.9 million of note conversion expense and an increase of $1.8 million in interest expense. The increase in interest expense includes $6.3 million of accelerated amortization of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes as substantially all convertible notes were converted to equity in connection with the Merger.

Net Income (Loss). Net loss attributable to us for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by $40.7 million, or, to $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 The net loss attributable to us is primarily a result of $ 39.2 million increase in other expenses and $2.6 million increase in operating expenses partially offset by $1.2 million increase in net revenues as discussed above.

 Nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues, Net. Net revenues increased by $9.0 million, or 110%, to $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Substantially all of these revenues were from Endari® sales, and revenues from AminoPure, a nutritional supplement product, were immaterial. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales personnel and higher market acceptance of Endari®. We expect Endari® revenues to continue to increase as we expand our commercialization efforts in the United States and abroad.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold were $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cost of goods sold includes costs for raw material, packaging, testing, shipping and costs related to scrapped inventory. Substantially all of the raw material purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 came from one vendor.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 40%, to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses related to our sponsored diverticulosis study. We expect our research and development costs to increase in the remainder of 2019 as the study progresses.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 41%, to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 2018. Selling expenses include the distribution fees, sales


force fees, promotion, travel, marketing and branding expenses for Endari® and to a much lesser extent costs of distribution and promotion related to AminoPure. The increase was primarily related to increased contract sales force fees for Endari®. We anticipate that our selling expenses will increase during the remainder of 2019 as we expand our selling efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million, or 20%, to $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. General and administrative expenses include share-based compensation expenses, professional fees, office rent and payroll expenses. The increase of general and administrative expenses is primarily $1.1 million of employee salaries and $0.7 million of professional services. The general and administrative expenses also include $1.9 million in shared-based compensation adjustment resulting from the Merger.

Other Income and Expense. Total other expense increased by $25.0 million, or 85%, to $54.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $29.5 million in other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a decrease of $19.7 million in a change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities, $3.2 million in a loss on debt extinguishment, $3.9 million in note conversion expense and $6.5 million in interest expenses partially offset by a decrease of $ 9.9 million net loss on investment in marketable securities. In connection with the Merger, the Company recognized $6.5 million of a loss on debt extinguishment resulting from the modification of senior secured debenture, $3.9 million of note conversion expense and $6.3 million of accelerated amortization of beneficial conversion feature on convertible notes which is included as an interest expense.

Operating Expenses Overall. We anticipate that our overall operating expenses will increase for, among others, the following reasons:

We intend to reinforce our sales and marketing team to commercialize Endari® in the U.S. and to enter into one or more strategic partnerships to market Endari® in other territories, subject to marketing approvals;

We anticipate increases in payroll and employee expenses associated with an increase in personnel, higher consulting, legal, accounting and investor relations cost, and higher insurance premiums; and

We expect increases in research and development activities as we undertake to development of our product candidates continues.

Net Losses. Net losses attributable to us increased by $20.1 million, or 52%, to $58.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $38.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net losses attributable to us is primarily a result of an increase of $25.0 million of other expenses and $4.4 million of operating expenses partially offset by an increase of $9.0 million in net revenues as discussed above. On an operating basis, our loss from operations decreased by $4.5 million or 49%, to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease of loss is primarily due to a $9.0 million increase of net revenue partially offset by a $4.4 million increase of operating expenses as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on our losses to date, anticipated future revenues and operating expenses, debt repayment obligations and cash and cash equivalents of $13.5 million, of which $12.2 million was attributable to a VIE, as of September 30, 2019, we do not have sufficient operating capital for our business without raising additional capital. We had an accumulated deficit of $216.9 million at September 30, 2019. We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we incur expenses for the commercialization of Endari®, research costs for our pilot study of our L-glutamine product in the treatment of diverticulosis and diabetes, research cost relating to corneal cell sheets using Cultured Autologous Oral Mucosal Epithelial Cell Sheet technology and the expansion of corporate infrastructure, including costs associated with being a public reporting company. We have previously relied on private equity offerings, debt financings and loans, including loans from related parties. As part of this effort, we have received various loans from officers, stockholders and other investors as discussed below. As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding notes payable in an aggregate principal amount of $19.3 million, consisting of $4.1 million of non-convertible promissory notes, $3.0 million of convertible notes and $12.2 million of 10% senior secured convertible debentures. The convertible notes and non-convertible promissory notes bear interest at rates ranging from 10% to 11% per year and, are unsecured. The net proceeds of the loans were used for working capital purposes. Immediately prior to the Merger, approximately $35.5 million principal amount of, and accrued interest on, outstanding convertible notes payable and notes payable of the EMI were converted into shares of EMI common stock thereby increasing stockholders’ equity by the corresponding amount.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, we borrowed varying amounts pursuant to convertible notes, non-convertible promissory notes and convertible debentures. As of September 30, 2019, and


December 31, 2018, the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under convertible notes, non-convertible promissory notes and convertible debentures totaled $19.3 million and $55.2 million, respectively.

Of the notes and convertible debentures outstanding as of September 30, 2019, approximately $18.1 million principal amounts of the notes and debentures are either due on demand or will become due and payable within the next 12 months. Our ability to repay the notes and debentures as they come due will require us to raise additional capital or to refinance the notes and debentures, and there is no assurance whether or on what terms we may be able to do so.

Our average monthly cash burn rate over the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $0.6 million.

Until we can generate a sufficient product revenue, our future cash needs are expected to be financed through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, loans, including loans from related parties, or other sources, such as strategic partnership agreements and licensing or other strategic arrangements. We have no understanding or arrangements with respect to future financings, and there can be no assurance of the availability of such capital on terms acceptable to us (or at all). Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  There is also no assurance that revenues from sales of Endari® will increase as expected.

Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019and September 30, 2018

Net cash from operating activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities increased by $0.3 million, or 7%, to a negative net cash flow of $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from negative net cash flow of $4.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to a $20.7 million increase in net loss and a $3.5 million increase in working capital expenditures partially offset by increase of $23.8 million in the non-cash adjustments to net loss. The increase of working capital is due to timing of cash receipt and payments.

Net cash from investing activities

Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities decreased by $7.4 million, or 125%, to $1.5 million negative net cash flow for nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $5.9 million positive cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net cash used in investing activities includes sales and purchase of marketable securities and investment at cost, as well as purchase of property and equipment. The decrease of cash flows is mainly due to $1.6 million of cash paid in connection with the merger and a decrease in cash receipt from sales of marketable securities to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net cash from financing activities

Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities increased by $10.0 million, or 143%, to $3.0 million positive cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $7.0 million negative cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as a result of a decrease of $21.9 million in repayment of notes payable and convertible notes and increase of $5.9 million in net proceeds from issuance of common stock and that there were no repurchases of common stock or warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $7.5 million used during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of cash inflow was partially offset by the $24.3 million of proceeds from convertible notes and note payable issued for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 while there were no corresponding proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to meet its current operating expenses, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as the continuation and expansion of its business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of its products, and finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities revenue and expense, and related disclosure of assets and liabilities.expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates itswe evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of furniture and equipment, intangible assets, valuation allowancedescribed below. We base our estimates on deferred taxes, valuation of equity instruments, and accrued liabilities. The Company bases its estimates onour historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believedwe believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of whichpresent circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or lessRefer to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash with major financial institutions and may at times exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000.  At December 31, 2018 cash exceeds the federally insured limit by $1.3 million.  The Company believes that the risk of loss is minimal. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses related to cash deposits with financial institutions.

Debt Instruments

Debt instruments are initially recorded at fair value, with coupon interest and amortization of debt issuance discounts recognized“Critical Accounting Policies” in the statement of operations as interest expense at each period end while such instruments are outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, ASC 825-10 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

The Company also analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480-10, ASC 815-10 and ASC 815-40.

The FASB has established a framework for measuring fair value using generally accepted accounting principles. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level I inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level II inputs to the valuation methodology include:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means;

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level III inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company estimates the collectability of customer receivables on an ongoing basis by reviewing past-due invoices and assessing the current creditworthiness of each customer.  Allowances are provided for specific receivables deemed to be at risk for collection which as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 were $5,000 and $1,800, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which are recorded at cost, consist of office furniture and equipment which are depreciated, over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.  The useful lives of these assets are estimated to be between three and five years.  Depreciation expense on furniture and equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $16,200 and $12,400, respectively. Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 was $165,400 and $149,000, respectively.

Intangible Assets 

Costs for software developed for internal use are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in intangible assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over three years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software development and costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility and estimated economic life.

On November 13, 2017, the Company acquired customer relationship and tradename intangibles in connection with the Arcadian acquisition which were recorded at fair value and are being amortized over an estimated useful life of four years on a straight-line basis.

Amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $14,000 and $10,900, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $108,300 and $94,200 at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 respectively.

The expected amortization of the intangible assets, as of December 31, 2018, for each of the next five years is as follows:

For the year ended September 30,  Intangible assets 
2019 (for the remaining nine months)  $40,100 
2020   29,400 
2021   29,400 
2022   3,500 
Total  $102,400 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in our business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, or significant under performance relative to expected historical or projected future results of operations. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, additional impairment testing is not required. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually on September 30.


The Company performed a qualitative goodwill assessment at September 30, 2018 and concluded there was no impairment based on consideration of a number of factors, including the improvement in the Company’s key operating metrics over the prior year, improvement in the strength of the general economy and the Company’s continued execution against its overall strategic objectives.

Based on the foregoing, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and therefore that no further impairment testing was required.

During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not record any Goodwill impairment.

Accrued Compensation

Accrued compensation consists of accrued vacation pay, accrued compensation granted by the Board but not paid, and accrued pay due to staff members.

Accrued compensation – related parties consists of accrued vacation pay, accrued bonuses granted by the Board but not paid for officers and directors.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents cash collected in advance of services being rendered but not earned as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. This represents a philanthropic grant for the payment of PEER Reports ordered in a clinical trial for a member of the U.S. Military, a veteran or their family members, the cost of which is not covered by other sources. On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Research Study Funding Agreement with Horizon Healthcare Services, Inc. dba Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and its subsidiaries (collectively "Horizon") and Cota, Inc. ("Cota"). On February 6, 2018, Horizon prepaid for part of the study, $125,000 and the Company paid Cota $15,000 out of this payment for its services under the Study.

These deferred revenue grant funds total $156,900 and $159,700 as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Neurometric services - gross service revenue is recorded in the accounting records at the time the services are provided on an accrual basis at the provider’s established rates, regardless of whether the provider expects to collect that amount. The Company reserves a provision for contractual adjustment and discounts that are deducted from gross service revenue. The Company reports revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.

Telepsychiatry services - The Company satisfies its performance obligation to stand ready to provide telepsychiatry services which occurs when the Company’s clients have access to the telepsychiatry service. The Company generally bills for the telepsychiatry services on a monthly basis with payment terms generally being 30 days. There are not significant differences between the timing of revenue recognition and billing. Consequently, the Company has determined that client contracts do not include a financing component. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected in exchange for the service and this may include a variable transaction price as the number of members may vary from the initial billing. Based on historical experience, the Company estimates this amount which is recorded as a component of revenue.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from providing healthcare services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.


Revenue from providing neurometric and telepsychiatry services are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;

identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

Research and Development Expenses

The Company charges research and development expenses to operations as incurred.

Advertising Expenses

The Company charges all advertising expenses to operations as incurred. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 advertising expenses were $0 and $151,100, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For stock options issued to employees and directors we use the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating fair value at the date of grant. For stock options issued for services rendered by non-employees, we recognize compensation expense in accordance with the requirements of ASC 505-50, Equity, as amended. Non-employee option grants that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the vesting period. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to performance, the value of these options, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, is determined, and compensation expense recognized or recovered during the period is adjusted accordingly. Since the fair market value of options granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future compensation expense is subject to adjustment until the common stock options or warrants are fully vested.

Warrants

From time to time, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock. These warrants have been issued in connection with the Company’s financing transactions. The Company’s warrants are subject to standard anti-dilution provisions applicable to shares of our common stock. The Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: market prices of the stock, time to maturity, volatility, zero expected dividend rate and risk free rate all at the date of the warrant issuance.

 Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law new legislation that significantly revises the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The newly enacted federal income tax law, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35 percent to a flat rate of 21 percent, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30 percent of adjusted earnings (except for certain small businesses), limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80 percent of current-year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, one time taxation of offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated, immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits.


 As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, the Company has analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified U.S. Federal and California as our major tax jurisdictions. Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2014 through 2016 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2013 through 2016 California Franchise Tax Returns. We have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Deferred taxes have been recorded on a net basis in the accompanying balance sheet. The Act reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had gross Federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $60.2 million and State gross net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $33.8 million. Both the Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in the event that a change in ownership, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, occurs in the future.

The Company has placed a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such excess tax assets. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent third-party equity ownership interests in the Company’s consolidated entities. The amount of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $326,900 and $0, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is presented in conformity with the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Net loss per share is calculated as the net loss less the current period preferred stock dividends. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised and converted into Common Stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Apart from the below-mentioned recent accounting pronouncements, there are no new accounting pronouncements that are currently applicable to the Company.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard to its financial statements.


ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Payments” was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in August 2016. The purpose of this amendment is to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 during our first quarter of fiscal year 2019, which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements, and will apply the new guidance in future periods.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” was issued by the FASB in February 2016. The guidance requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for the Company on October 1, 2019. The Company will elect the prospective transition method with the effects of adoption recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the Company’s fiscal 2020 financial statements, with no restatement of comparative periods. The Company will also elect the package of three practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company expects to record right of use assets and lease liabilities, which may be material, on its consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of this standard and is still assessing the impact to its results of operations and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from providing healthcare services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard this new standard did not result in a change to revenue recognition on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

At the adoption of Topic 606, the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard is required to be presented as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company determined there was no impact to opening retained earnings based on applying the new revenue standard.

The Company operates as one reportable segment, the healthcare delivery segment. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts by service type and by payor. This level of detail provides useful information pertaining to how the Company generates revenue by significant revenue stream and by type of direct contracts. The condensed consolidated statements of operations present disaggregated revenue by service type. The following table presents disaggregated revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

  December 31,  December 31, 
  2018  2017 
Neurometric services
 $79,200  $53,300 
Telepsychiatry services
  307,900   68,700 
Revenue $387,100  $122,000 

As of December 31, 2018, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $120,000. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience, specific account information and other currently available evidence.


The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered: (i) commercial insurers; (ii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; (iii) state governments under the Medicaid and other programs; (iv) other third party payors (e.g., hospitals); and (v) individual patients and clients. As the period between the time of service and time of payment is typically one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 and did not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursements are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs, rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical provisions.

Under the new revenue standard, the Company has elected to apply the following practical expedients and optional exemptions:

Recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract with amortization periods of one year or less as expense when incurred. These costs are recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Recognize revenue in the amount of consideration to which the Company has a right to invoice the customer if that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s services completed to date.

Exemptions from disclosing the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized in the amount of consideration to which the Company has a right to invoice for services performed, and (iii) contracts for which variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

Use a portfolio approach for the fee-for-service (FFS) revenue stream to group contracts with similar characteristics and analyze historical cash collections trends.

No adjustment is made for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between the time of service and time of payment is typically one year or less.

Contract Assets

Typically, revenues and receivables are recognized once the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company’s contract assets are comprised of accounts receivable. Generally, the Company does not have material amounts of other contract assets.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)

Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance. The Company’s contract liability balance was $156,900 and $159,700 as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and is presented within the “Deferred Revenue” line item of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. $2,800 of the amounts recorded as of September 30, 2018 was recognized as revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The Company has elected the optional exemption to not disclose the remaining performance obligations of its contracts since substantially all of its contracts have a duration of one year or less.


4.     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable, net, is as follows:

  December 31,  September 30, 
  2018  2018 
Accounts receivable $125,000  $65,100 
Allowance for doubtful accounts  (5,000)  (1,800)
Accounts receivable, net $120,000  $63,300 

5.     LONG - TERM BORROWINGS AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE

Debt assumed from Arcadian

As a result of the acquisition of Arcadian, the Company guaranteed Arcadian’s then outstanding debt obligations totaling $700,000 owed to Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania (“BFTP”). The maturity date for the debt is September 30, 2021 and interest accrues at an 8% annual rate.  Unpaid interest was $115,800 as of December 31, 2018. The Company recorded the debt at its fair value and recorded a discount of $102,900 as of December 31, 2018 attributable to the difference between the market interest rate and the stated interest rate on the debt. Interest expense related to the accretion of debt discount for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $9,400 and $4,700, respectively.

A balloon payment of $700,000 plus interest will be made on the scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2021.

The changes in carrying amounts of the debt acquired through acquisition for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Beginning balance (September 30, 2018) $587,700 
Accretion of debt discount  9,400 
Ending balance (December 31, 2018) $597,100

6.     ACQUISITION

On November 13, 2017, the Company acquired Arcadian. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Arcadian using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives and the expected future cash flows and related discount rates, can materiality impact our results of operations. Significant inputs used for the model included the amount of cash flows, the expected period of the cash flows and the discount rates.

The purchase price, including the value of the indebtedness and payables of Arcadian, is $1,339,600 based upon a deemed acquisition of all of the assets and liabilities of Arcadian, including the equity interests in Arcadian. The aggregate purchase price consists of (i) initial investment in Arcadian of $195,900 (ii) $317,000 of forgiveness of a note receivable with the primary member of Arcadian (iii) assumption by Arcadian of subordinated debt (“Arcadian Note”) with a fair value of $555,000, plus accrued interest of $96,700 (iv) $175,000 payment for the redemption and cancellation of two warrants to purchase equity interests in Arcadian Services. The Arcadian Note bears interest at an annual rate of 8% and matures on September 30, 2021.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations data presents the combined results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as if the acquisition of Arcadian had taken place on October 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes the effects of certain adjustments, including the amortization of acquired intangibles and the associated tax effect and the elimination of the Company’s and the acquiree’s non-recurring acquisition related expenses.

The unaudited pro forma information presented does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated at October 1, 2017 nor of the results which may occur in the future. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

7.     STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Aspire Capital Equity Credit Lines

On December 6, 2016, the Company, entered into the first common stock purchase agreement (the “First Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) which provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital was committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of shares of the Company’s Common Stock over the 30-month term of the First Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the First Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company maintained an effective registration statement registering the sale of the shares of Common Stock that were issued to Aspire under the First Purchase Agreement. Under the First Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by the Company on which the closing sale price of its Common Stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, the Company had the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice, directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock per business day, up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate at a per share purchase price equal to the lesser of:

a)the lowest sale price of Common Stock on the purchase date; or

b)the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices for Common Stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.

In addition, on any date on which the Company submitted a purchase notice to Aspire Capital in an amount equal to 50,000 shares, and the closing sale price of its Common Stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, the Company also had the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock traded on its principal market on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares the Company may determine. The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice is generally 95% of the volume-weighted average price for Common Stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.

The purchase price was subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the period(s) used to compute the First Purchase Price. The Company could deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

There were no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the First Purchase Agreement, and the Company could control the timing and amount of sales of Common Stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital had no right to require any sales by the Company, but was obligated to make purchases from the Company as directed by the Company in accordance with the First Purchase Agreement. There were no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the First Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the First Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 80,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ First Commitment Shares”). The First Purchase Agreement was terminated and replaced by the Second Purchase Agreement defined below on May 15, 2018. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of Common Stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

a) the lowest sale price of Common Stock on the purchase date; or

b) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices for Common Stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.

In addition, on any date on which the Company submits a purchase notice to Aspire Capital in an amount equal to 50,000 shares, and the closing sale price of its Common Stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock traded on its principal market on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares the Company may determine. The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice is generally 95% of the volume-weighted average price for Common Stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.

The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the period(s) used to compute the Purchase Price. The Company may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Second Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

The Second Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital will not effect any sales under the Second Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock is less than $0.50.

There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Second Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Second Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Second Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ Second Commitment Shares”). The Second Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its discretion, without any cost to the Company. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of Common Stock during any time prior to the termination of the Second Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds from the Company receives under the Second Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Merger Agreement

On January 4, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Athena Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Emmaus”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, pending stockholder approval of the transaction, Merger Sub will merge with and into Emmaus with Emmaus surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of MYnd (the “Merger”). Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, Emmaus stockholders will receive a number of newly issued shares of MYnd common stock determined using the exchange ratio described below in exchange for their shares of Emmaus stock. Following the Merger, stockholders of Emmaus will become the majority owners of MYnd.

The exchange ratio will be determined prior to closing and will cause the MYnd securityholders (including holders of options and warrants) prior to the effective time to collectively own 5.9% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis and Emmaus securityholders (including holders of options, warrants and convertible notes) prior to the effective time to collectively own 94.1% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The exchange ratio will reflect any dilution that may result from securities sold by MYnd or Emmaus prior to the closing of the Merger and any changes to the number of outstanding convertible securities of each company. The Merger Agreement provides that if Emmaus converts certain debt obligations into equity within six months of the completion of the Merger, Emmaus will issue additional shares (equal to 5.9% of the shares issued in connection with the debt conversion to third parties) to an existing subsidiary of MYnd which is expected to be spun-off to stockholders of MYnd prior to the effective time of the merger, as described below.

The combined company, led by Emmaus’ management team, is expected to be named “Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.” Prior to the closing of the Merger, MYnd will seek shareholder approval to conduct a reverse split of its outstanding shares if necessary to satisfy listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “NasdaqCM”). The combined company is expected to trade on the NasdaqCM under a new ticker symbol. At the closing, the combined company’s board of directors is expected to consist of one member from MYnd and up to six members from Emmaus. The Merger has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of each company. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2019, subject to approvals by the stockholders of MYnd and Emmaus, and other closing conditions, including but not limited to the approval of the continued listing of the combined company’s common stock on the NasdaqCM, conversion of MYnd’s preferred stock into common stock, satisfaction of certain cash and debt conversion conditions and consummation of the MYnd spin-off described below.

The parties to the Merger Agreement have made representations and warranties to each other as of specific dates for the purpose of allocating risk and not for the purpose of establishing facts. Accordingly, the representations and warranties should not be relied on as characterizations of the actual state of facts.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of MYnd and Emmaus, and further provides that, upon certain terminations of the Merger Agreement, MYnd may be required to pay Emmaus a termination fee of $750,000 and Emmaus may be required to pay MYnd a termination fee of $750,000; provided that if the termination results from the failure to obtain the approval of the continued listing of the combined company’s common stock on the NasdaqCM, this fee payable by Emmaus will be $1,600,000. In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement upon certain circumstances, either party also may be required to pay the other party’s third party expenses up to $600,000. The termination of the Merger Agreement will not relieve any party thereto from any liability or damages resulting from or arising out of any fraud or willful or intentional breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision contained in the Merger Agreement.

Spin-Off

Prior to the closing of the Merger, the Company currently intends, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals and the completion of certain tax analyses, to transfer all of its businesses, assets and liabilities not assumed by Emmaus to our existing wholly-owned subsidiary, MYnd Analytics, Inc., a California corporation (“MYnd California”), pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) entered into on January 4, 2019 by the Company and MYnd California. The Company intends to distribute all shares of MYnd California held by it to the Company’s stockholders of record as of a future record date to be determined for said distribution. The Separation Agreement includes the terms of the proposed spin-off and the distribution to the Company’s stockholders and includes representations and warranties, covenants and conditions, which will impact the terms of the proposed spin-off and distribution. The proposed spin-off will be subject to conditions and regulatory approvals not entirely under the control of MYnd and the terms of the proposed spin-off, if and when completed, are subject to change.


Aspire Line

Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company issued purchase notices to Aspire Capital to purchase 815,429 shares of common stock, at a weighted average per share price of $1.40, resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $1.1 million.

Recent Developments

Merger Agreement

On January 4, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among us, our wholly owned subsidiary, Athena Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Emmaus”).

The exchange ratio will be determined prior to closing and will cause our securityholders (including holders of options and warrants) prior to the effective time to collectively own 5.9% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis and Emmaus securityholders (including holders of options, warrants and convertible notes) prior to the effective time to collectively own 94.1% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The exchange ratio will reflect any dilution that may result from securities sold by us or Emmaus prior to the closing of the Merger and any changes to the number of outstanding convertible securities of each company.

Spin-Off

Prior to the closing of the Merger, we intend, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals and the completion of certain tax analyses, to transfer all of our businesses, assets and liabilities not assumed by Emmaus to our existing wholly-owned subsidiary, MYnd Analytics, Inc., a California corporation (“MYnd California”), pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) entered into on January 4, 2019 by us and MYnd California. We intend to distribute all shares of MYnd California held by us to our stockholders of record as of a future record date to be determined for said distribution.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has a limited operating history and its operations are subject to certain problems, expenses, difficulties, delays, complications, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the operation of a business with a limited operating history. These risks include the ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, if at all, the failure to develop or supply technology or services to meet the demands of the marketplace, the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, competition within the industry, government regulation and the general strength of regional and national economies.

The Company’s recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.7 million and used $1.7 million of net cash in operating activities. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $87.6 million. In connection with these consolidated financial statements, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, and negative cash flows from operating activities.

If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the fully diluted ownership percentages of existing stockholders will be reduced. In addition, any equity or debt securities that the Company would issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of its common stock.

To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from equity financings.  The Company will need to raise funds immediately to continue its operations and increase demand for its services. Until it can generate sufficient revenues to meet its cash requirements, which it may never do, the Company must continue to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic collaborations. The Company’s liquidity and capital requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its services, the future profitability of the Company, the rate of growth of the Company’s business and other factors described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Company continues to explore additional sources of capital, but there is substantial doubt as to whether any financing arrangement will be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company to permit it to continue operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Nasdaq Listing Requirements

As of December 31, 2018, our stockholders’ equity is approximately $1.1 million.  The minimum stockholders' equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market is $2.5 million. While we have not yet received a notice from Nasdaq that we are not compliant with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), we expect that we will. We intend to take the measures that may be necessary to regain compliance. No assurances can be given that we will be successful or that Nasdaq will not delist our securities.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

Our neurometric services revenues are derived from the sales of PEER Reports and services of Electroencephalographs (EEG) and Quantitative Electroencephalographs (qEEG). Physicians and Customers are generally billed upon delivery of a PEER Report. The customer’s insurance is billed for EEG and qEEG services. The Company also derives revenue from its subsidiary Arcadian who manages the delivery of telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health services which are delivered directly to patients.


Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues are for services and represent the cost of direct labor, the costs associated with external processing, analysis and consulting services necessary to generate the revenues.

Research and Product Development

Research and product development expenses are associated with our neurometric and telepsychiatry services and primarily represent costs incurred to design and conduct clinical studies, to recruit patients into the studies, to add data to our database, to improve analytical techniques and advance application of the methodology. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred.

Sales and Marketing

For our neurometric and telepsychiatry services, our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel, media, support and travel costs to inform user organizations and consumers of our products and services. Additional marketing expenses are the costs of advertising, educating physicians, laboratory personnel, other healthcare professionals regarding our products and services.

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel, occupancy, legal, audit, consulting and administrative support costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from providing healthcare services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

Revenue from providing neurometric and telepsychiatry services are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

○         executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;

○         identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

○         determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

○         allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

○         recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.


Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash charge, results from stock option grants and restricted share awards. Compensation for option is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying option. The amount of stock-based compensation expense expected to be amortized in future periods may decrease if unvested options are subsequently cancelled or may increase if future option grants are made.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

Property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, a permanent impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived or intangible asset exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of ten years.

Costs for software developed for internal use are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over three years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software development and costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility and estimated economic life. The Company will begin amortizing the software over its estimated economic life once it has been placed into service.

Derivative accounting for convertible debt and warrants

The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no financial instruments that contain embedded derivative features.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Since our inception, we have never been profitable and we have generated significant losses. The Company has a limited operating history and its operations are subject to certain problems, expenses, difficulties, delays, complications, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the operation of a business with a limited operating history. These risks include the ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, if at all, the failure to develop or supply technology or services to meet the demands of the marketplace, the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, competition within the industry, government regulation and the general strength of regional and national economies.

As of December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $87.6 million compared to our accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2018, of approximately $85.2 million. Our management expects that with our proposed clinical trials, sales and marketing and general and administrative costs, our expenditures will continue to grow and, as a result, we will need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. The Company continues to explore additional sources of capital but there is substantial doubt as to whether any financing arrangement will be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company to permit it to continue operations.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital surplus of approximately $0.2 million. This is compared to our cash position of $3.3 million as of September 30, 2018 and working capital of $2.3 million.

The Company has been funded through multiple rounds of private placements, primarily from members of our Board or our affiliates, one public offering of common stock and recently, through our facility with Aspire Capital.


Working Capital, Going Concern, Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $3.3 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018.

Our recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management's assessment of substantial doubt of going concern is based on current estimates and assumptions regarding our programs and business needs. Actual working capital requirements could differ materially from the above working capital projection. We may explore strategic opportunities including partnerships, licensing and acquisitions of other entities, assets or products. If we are unable to continue to identify sources of capital, we may be required to limit our activities, to terminate programs or terminate operations temporarily or permanently. Even if we close the Merger, we will be required to fund our continuing operations.

Our ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of equity securities, when needed, is subject to many risks and uncertainties and even if we are successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Our risk factors are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I Item 1A and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the SEC.

The amount of capital we will need to conduct our operations and the time at which we will require such capital may vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, such as:

the amount and timing of costs we incur in connection with our clinical trials and product development activities, including enhancements to our PEER Online database and costs we incur to further validate the efficacy of our technology;

whether we can receive sufficient business revenues from Arcadian to adequately cover our costs;

the amount and timing of costs we incur in connection with the expansion of our commercial operations, including our sales and marketing efforts;

whether we incur additional consulting and legal fees in our efforts in conducting Non-Significant Risk trials within FDA requirements, which will enable us to obtain a 510(k) clearance from the FDA;

if we expand our business by acquiring or investing in complimentary businesses; and

our continuing access to funding from Aspire Capital.

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed from equity and debt financings.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q.10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our DCP. Based upon thatthis evaluation and due to the material weaknesses in our President,internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that asthe Company’s DCP were not effective. Our management is working at remediating the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we have not yet completed a resultfull annual accounting cycle since December 31, 2019 to fully validate the remediation of the material weaknessweaknesses in our internal controls and the effectiveness of the Company’s DCP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018.


Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Effective October 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue standard. While the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact on our ongoing revenue and net income, it will require management to make significant judgments and estimates.  As a result, we implemented changes to our internal controls related to revenue recognition for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. These changes include updated accounting policies affected by the new revenue standard, redesigned internal controls over financial reporting related to the new revenue standard, expanded data gathering to comply with the additional disclosure requirements, training of individuals responsible for implementation of, and continuing compliance with, the new revenue standard, as well as ongoing contract review requirements.

Other than the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and adoption of the new revenue standard described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of15d-15(f) under the Exchange ActAct) that occurred during the three monthsfiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 that hasSeptember 30, 2019 which have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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. Material weaknesses would permit information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits to not be recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

We conducted an evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a‑15 of the Exchange Act of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our DCP as of December 31, 2018. This evaluation was conducted under the supervision (and with the participation) of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our DCP were not effective as of December 31, 2018, because of the continuance of a material weakness (the “Material Weakness”) due to inadequate financial closing process, segregation of duties including access control of information technology especially financial information, inadequate documentation of policies and procedures over risk assessments, internal control and significant account process, and insufficient entity risk assessment process.

We are committed to remediating the control deficiencies that constituted the Material Weakness by implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting. In 2018, we implemented measures designed to remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise to the Material Weakness, including, without limitation:

engaging a third-party accounting consulting firm to assist us in the review of our application of GAAP on complex debt financing transactions;

using a GAAP Disclosure and SEC Reporting Checklist;

increasing the amount of external continuing professional training and academic education on accounting subjects for accounting staff including management staff to receive professional certification as a CPA or CMA;

enhancing the level of the precision of review controls related to our financial close and reporting; and

engaging other supplemental internal and external resources.


PART II

OTHER INFORMATIONOur management and Board of Directors are committed to the remediation of the Material Weakness, as well as the continued improvement of our overall system of DCP. We are in the process of implementing measures to remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise to the Material Weakness, which primarily include engaging additional and supplemental internal and external resources with the technical expertise in GAAP, as well as to implement new policies and procedures to provide more effective controls to track, process, analyze, and consolidate the financial data and reports.

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We believe these measures, once fully implemented, will remediate the control deficiencies that gave rise to the Material Weakness. As we continue to evaluate and work to remediate these control deficiencies, we may determine that additional remedial measures are required.

1.Merger Agreement.On January 4, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among us, our wholly owned subsidiary, Athena Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Emmaus”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, pending stockholder approval of the transaction, Merger Sub will merge with and into Emmaus with Emmaus surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of us (the “Merger”). Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, Emmaus stockholders will receive a number of newly issued shares of our common stock determined using the exchange ratio described below in exchange for their shares of Emmaus stock. Following the Merger, stockholders of Emmaus will become our majority owners.None.

 


The exchange ratio will be determined prior to closing and will cause our securityholders (including holders of options and warrants) prior to the effective time to collectively own 5.9% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis and Emmaus securityholders (including holders of options, warrants and convertible notes) prior to the effective time to collectively own 94.1% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The exchange ratio will reflect any dilution that may result from securities sold by us or Emmaus prior to the closing of the Merger and any changes to the number of outstanding convertible securities of each company. The Merger Agreement provides that if Emmaus converts certain debt obligations into equity within six months of the completion of the Merger, Emmaus will issue additional shares (equal to 5.9% of the shares issued in connection with the debt conversion to third parties) to an existing subsidiary of our which is expected to be spun-off to stockholders of us prior to the effective time of the merger, as described below.

The combined company is expected to trade on the NasdaqCM under a new ticker symbol. At the closing, the combined company’s board of directors is expected to consist of one member from us and up to six members from Emmaus. The Merger has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of each company. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2019, subject to approvals by the stockholders of us and Emmaus, and other closing conditions, including but not limited to the approval of the continued listing of the combined company’s common stock on the NasdaqCM, conversion of our preferred stock into common stock, satisfaction of certain cash and debt conversion conditions and consummation of the spin-off described below.

2.Spin-Off. Prior to the closing of the Merger, we intend, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals and the completion of certain tax analyses, to transfer all of our business, assets and liabilities not assumed by Emmaus to our existing wholly-owned subsidiary, MYnd Analytics, Inc., a California corporation (“MYnd California”), pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) entered into on January 4, 2019 by us and MYnd California. We intend to distribute all shares of MYnd California held by it to our stockholders of record as of a future record date to be determined for said distribution. The Separation Agreement includes the terms of the proposed spin-off and the distribution to the our stockholders and includes representations and warranties, covenants and conditions, which will impact the terms of the proposed spin-off and distribution.
