NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

  

1.GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly Active With Me, Inc.) (the “Company” or “Rasna Successor”), is a company incorporated in the State of Nevada.

 

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Rasna Inc.”), is a company incorporated in the State of Delaware. Prior to May 17, 2016 Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. was a non-trading holding company with an investment in one subsidiary company, and also controlled an entity in which it was deemed the primary beneficiary.

 

Arna Therapeutics Limited (“Arna”) was a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands under applicable law and regulation. Arna was incorporated on September 30, 2013. Arna only has one segment of activity which is that of a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on targeted drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of Leukemia.

 

On May 17, 2016, Rasna and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) with Arna. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna in exchange for shares of Arna.

 

The Merger is being treated as a reverse acquisition effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since Arna’s operations, Board of Directors and Management will remain subsequent to the consummation of the transaction, however, the legal aquiror is Rasna Inc. As a result, the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Arna, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in the transaction with Rasna Therapeutics, Inc have been written to fair value in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions, for more information related to the transaction.

 

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna, Inc., and Rasna Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rasna, Inc. (the “Merger”), with Rasna, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

 

The Merger is being treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of Active With Me’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna Successor is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Exchange Agreement, even though Active With Me, Inc. was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Rasna Successor as if Rasna Successor had always been the reporting company.  Since Active With Me, Inc. had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger Agreement.

 

The Company only has one segment of activity which is that of a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on targeted drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of Leukemia.

 

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”) which is also the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Foreign operations are included in accordance with policies set out in note 2 below.

 

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated.

 

Basis of preparation

 

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

 

7 

 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates any entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. Further, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity that it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and have the power to direct its significant activities. Upon review of the relationship between Rasna Therapeutics Limited (“Rasna UK”) and Rasna Inc., Management noted that equity investment in Rasna UK is not sufficient to fund its operations. Accordingly, Rasna Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the assets held within Rasna UK, which primarily consist of cash received from Rasna Inc. to fund its operations, and has power to direct its significant activities. As a result, Rasna Inc. consolidates this variable interest entity.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary, Arna Therapeutics Limited as well as the operations of Rasna Inc. for the period from May 17, 2016 through September 30, 2016. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Business Combinations

 

Management accounts for business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

 

The amounts reflected within the Note 3 - Acquisitions are the results of the preliminary purchase price allocation and will be updated upon completion of the final valuation report. Management is required to complete the purchase price allocation within 12 months of the acquisition date. If such completion of the allocation results in a change in the preliminary values, the measurement period adjustment will be recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”).

 

Going concern

 

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

 

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years, and as at September 30, 2016, had an accumulated deficit of $6,331,183, a net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2016 of $1,507,135 and net cash used in operating activities of $1,353,798.

 

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. The Group has sufficient funds to continue operating until the end of the third quarter of 2017, but will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Group's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Group's cost structure. 

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Fair Value

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, related party balances, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such financial instruments. Management measures certain other assets, including nonmarketable equity securities, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of related party receivables.

 

Deposits held with banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. Management believes that the institutions that hold our instruments are financially sound and are subject to minimal credit risk.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Goodwill and Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are made up of in-process research and development, (“IPR&D”) and certain intellectual property (“IP”). IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to acquired technologies, which at the time of acquisition have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IP assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies, which at the time of acquisition have reached technological feasibility, however, have not yet been put into service. Intangible assets are considered to have an indefinite useful life until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects at which time they will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their economic or legal useful life.

 

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations.  Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test.  Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 

8 

 

  

Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges as of the six months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, and other risks associated with an early stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Research and development

 

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the statements of operation in the year in which it is incurred with the exception of expenditures incurred in respect of the development of major new products where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain in regards to viability and technical feasibility. Such expenditure is capitalized and amortized straight line over the estimated period of sale for each product, commencing in the year that sales of the product are first made. To date, the Company has not capitalized any such expenditures other than certain IPR&D & IP recorded in connection with certain acquisition or equity transactions.

 

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. Management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings experience by jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, and the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, as well as other relevant factors. A valuation allowance may be established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that management believes is more likely than not to be realized. Due to inherent complexities arising from the nature of the business, future changes in income tax law and variances between actual and anticipated operating results, management makes certain judgments and estimates. Therefore, actual income taxes could materially vary from these estimates.

 

The Company recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company records a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s tax return. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision. The Company incurred no liability and, therefore, did not need to record interest and penalties during the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Foreign Currency

 

Items included in the financial statements are measured using their functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”), which is the company’s functional and presentational currency.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the rate of exchange applicable at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-translation at the year end of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 there were no common equivalent shares.

Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees

 

The Company offers stock-based compensation awards based on fair value as of the grant date. Management uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant.

 

Given the limited history with employee grants, the “simplified” method is used for estimating the expected term for stock option awards. The “simplified” method, is calculated as the average of the contractual term and the average vesting period. Estimated volatility is based upon the historical volatility of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available, as the Company did not have sufficient trading history for its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award is granted, with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. The expected dividend assumption is based on the current expectations about the Company’s anticipated dividend policy.

 

The fair value of an award expected to vest on a straight-line basis is amortized over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. For awards with service only conditions and a graded vesting schedule, management elected to recognize costs on a straight-line basis. The Company uses historical data to estimate the number of future forfeitures.

 

3.ACQUISITIONS

 

The following transactions were accounted for using the purchase accounting method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair value.

 

On May 5, 2016, Rasna UK sold its intellectual property to Falconridge, a subsidiary of Rasna, for a note payable in the amount of $236,269. Rasna UK is considered a VIE and consolidated in these financial statements, however, is not an entity under common control as Rasna controlled both Falconridge and Rasna UK at the time of the transaction, this transaction eliminates on consolidation.

 

On May 17, 2016, Rasna and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with Arna. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna in exchange for shares of Arna. Arna was deemed to be the accounting acquirer because Rasna and Falconridge Holdings Limited were non-trading holding companies and Arna’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity and its senior management will serve as the senior management of the combined entity. Further, 65% of the voting interest in Rasna was acquired by Arna shareholders in connection with the transaction. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, Rasna, were written to fair value in accordance with the Acquisition Method prescribed in ASC 805, Business Combinations.

 

The consideration transferred was measured based upon the share price recently received during a non-public equity raise in Rasna, during which non-related investors paid $0.40 per share of common stock. During the acquisition transaction, 19,187,500 of 54,837,790 shares were issued to legacy Rasna shareholders, which results in consideration transferred to the acquiree’s shareholders of $7,675,000.

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition is set forth in the table below and reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analysis. These estimates are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as valuations are finalized. The Company’s allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition was calculated as follows:

 

   Balance as of 
   May 17, 2016 
     
Share consideration transferred  $7,675,000 
Forgiveness of receivable   607,159 
Consideration transferred  $8,282,159 
      
Less: Fair value of assets acquired     
Cash and cash equivalents   (5,116,609)
Other receivables   (14,187)
Related party receivables   (20,412)
Intellectual property   (236,269)
      
Plus: Liabilities assumed     
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   492,603 
Related party payables   15,656 
      
Goodwill  $3,402,941 

 

Of the above assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the intellectual property acquired was owned by Falconridge and the residual assets acquired and liabilities assumed comprised the VIE that was controlled by Rasna, Inc.

 

Active With Me, Inc.

 

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna, Inc., and Rasna Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rasna, Inc. (the “Merger”), with Rasna, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

The Merger is being treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of Active With Me’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna Successor is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Exchange Agreement, even though Active With Me, Inc. was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Rasna Successor as if Rasna Successor had always been the reporting company.  Since Active With Me, Inc. had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger Agreement.

 

Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Rasna Successor to a former officer and director of Active With Me, Inc. in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Rasna Successor’s common stock held by such person.

 

In connection with the share exchange, each share of Rasna, Inc was exchanged for the right to receive .33 shares in Active With Me, Inc. Once issued, the new shares were combined with the 3,305,000 common shares held by legacy Active With Me, Inc. shareholders. Immediately following the Merger, 1,500,000 shares were canceled, which related to one legacy Active With Me shareholder that effectively spun off the remaining assets of Active With Me in connection with the transaction. Finally, subsequent to the transaction, the legal acquirer executed a 3.25 for 1 stock split on its common shares. Historical common stock amounts and additional paid-in capital have been adjusted for the effect of the share splits executived in connection with the Merger transaction at the time of the Merger, as the stock splits occurred in conjunction with the Merger transaction. Following the closing of the Merger and Rasna Successor’s cancellation of 1,500,000 shares in the Split-Off, there were 19,901,471 shares of Rasna Successor issued and outstanding, which once effected for the 3.25 for 1 reverse stock split, resulted in 64,679,798 shares outstanding in the combined entity.

 

4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

As noted in Note 3 - Acquisitions, on May 17, 2016, there was a transaction where the Company acquired an entity and, at initial purchase price, it was determined that there was $236,269 of intellectual property and $3,402,941 of Goodwill.

6.ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK

 

As discussed in Note 3 - Acquisitions, on May 17, 2016, the Company completed a reverse merger whereby 35,650,289 shares of Arna were canceled and converted to a right to receive 35,650,289 shares of the Company’s stock. In effect, as a result of the share exchange, an additional 19,187,500 shares were ultimately issued to previous Rasna non-affiliate shareholders at a price of $0.40 per share of common stock. Management used the price of $0.40 per share of common stock based on the value of shares used by Rasna in its equity raise that occurred in April 2016, where such shares were issued in contemplation of the merger transaction occurring in May 2016.

 

In addition, as noted in the Reverse Recapitalization section of Note 1, the Company effectively completed a 1 for 3 share exchange prior to the Merger, and then issued 3,305,000 common shares to legacy Active With Me shareholders. Immediately following the Merger, 1,500,000 shares were canceled, which related to one legacy Active With Me shareholder that effectively spun off the remaining assets of Active With Me in connection with the transaction. Finally, subsequent to the transaction, the Company executed a 3.25 for 1 stock split on its common shares. Common stock amounts and additional paid-in capital have been adjusted for the effect of the share splits executived in connection with the Merger transaction at the time of the Merger, as the stock splits occurred in conjunction with the Merger transaction.

8.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company adopted a new stock option plan in July 2016. Historically, the Company has awarded stock grants to certain of its consultants that did not contain any performance or service conditions. Compensation expense included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations includes the fair value of the awards at the time of issuance.

 

2016 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

On July 19, 2016, the Company adopted its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The plan was established to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. For the Equity Incentive Plan, employees, officers, directors and consultants who provide services to the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries may be selected to receive awards. A total of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was authorized for issuance with respect to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, an aggregate of 1,300,000 shares were granted under the Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The fair values of stock option grants during the six months ended September 30, 2016 were calculated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the period of service, generally the vesting period. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, 1,300,000 options were granted by the Company. No stock options were granted in the six months ended September 30, 2015. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes options pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options for the six months ended September 30, 2016:

 

    Six Months Ended September 30, 2016
Expected life (years)   3
Expected volatility   137%
Expected dividend yield   —%
Risk-free interest rate   1.06%
Weighted average fair value of options granted during the period   $1.03

  

Estimated volatility is based upon the historical volatility of two similar entities whose share prices are publicly available, as the Company did not have sufficient trading history for its common stock.

 

13 

 

 

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the six month period ended September 30, 2016:

 

   Number of Options   Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option   Weighted Average remaining Contractual Life (years)   Aggregate Intrinsic Value 
Outstanding balance at March 31, 2016   1,662,375    0.20    7.32      
                     
Granted   1,300,000    0.40           
                     
Exercised                  
                     
Forfeited and Expired                  
                     
Outstanding balance at September 30, 2016   2,962,375    0.28    8.46   $524,589 
                     
Options exercisable at September 30, 2016   1,222,275    0.26    8.12   $249,012 

 

There were no options exercised during the six month period ended September 30, 2016 or 2015. Options for the purchase of an aggregate of 375,000 shares of common stock vested during the six month period ended September 30, 2016, and the aggregate fair value at grant date of these options was $386,250. As of September 30, 2016, there was approximately $1,068,645 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.83 years. The charge related to share based compensation to non employees is included within the Consultancy fees third parties expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Company Background

 

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly Active With Me, Inc.) (the “Company” or “Rasna Successor”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 6, 2012.

 

Arna Therapeutics Limited (“Arna”) is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands under applicable law and regulation. Arna was incorporated on September 30, 2013. Arna only has one segment of activity which is that of a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on targeted drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of leukemia.

 

Rasna Therapeutics Limited (“Rasna UK”) is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the U.K. Companies Act on February 10, 2014 (inception).

On April 27, 2016, Rasna UK sold its stake in Falconridge to Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Rasna, Inc.”) for $1. This entity had no operations, no assets or liabilities as at this date.

 

On May 17, 2016, Rasna and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) with Arna. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna in exchange for shares of Arna.

 

The Merger is being treated as a reverse acquisition effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since Arna’s operations, Board of Directors and management will remain subsequent to the consummation of the transaction, however, the legal aquiror is Rasna Therapeutics, Inc.   As a result, the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Arna, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in the transaction with Rasna Therapeutics, Inc have been written to fair value in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions, for more information related to the transaction. 

 

On August 15, 2016, the Company, entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna, Inc., and Rasna Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rasna, Inc. (the “Merger”), with Rasna, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

 

On September 20, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Change in Nevada which effected a 3.25 for 1 forward stock split of its common stock for shareholders of record as of August 16, 2016 and increased the authorized number of shares of common stock to 200,000,000 shares.

 

The Company only has one segment of activity which is that of a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on targeted drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of leukemia.

 

Acquisitions

 

Falconridge

 

The following transactions were accounted for using the purchase accounting method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair value.

 

 15 

 

 

On May 5, 2016, Rasna UK sold its intellectual property to Falconridge, a subsidiary of Rasna, Inc., for a note payable in the amount of $236,269. The fair value of the intellectual property was deemed to be the $236,269 based on the consideration received.

 

On May 17, 2016, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna, Inc. in exchange for shares of Arna. On this day, Rasna, Inc. and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with Arna. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna, Inc. in exchange for shares of Arna. Arna was deemed to be the accounting acquirer because Rasna, Inc. and Falconridge Holdings Limited were non-trading holding companies and Arna’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity and its senior management will serve as the senior management of the combined entity. Further, 65% of the voting interest in Rasna, Inc. was acquired in connection with the transaction. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, Rasna, Inc., were written to fair value in accordance with the Acquisition Method prescribed in ASC 805, Business Combinations.

 

The consideration transferred was measured based upon the share price recently received during a non-public equity raise in Rasna, Inc., during which non-related investors paid $0.40 per share of common stock. During the acquisition transaction, 19,187,500 of 54,837,790 shares were issued to legacy Rasna, Inc. shareholders, which results in consideration transferred to the acquiree’s shareholders of $7,675,000.

 

Rasna

 

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna, Inc., and Rasna Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rasna, Inc. (the “Merger”), with Rasna, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

 

The Merger is being treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of Active With Me’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna Successor is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Exchange Agreement, even though Active With Me, Inc. was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Rasna Successor as if Rasna Successor had always been the reporting company.  Since Active With Me, Inc. had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger Agreement.

 

Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Rasna Successor to a former officer and director of Active With Me, Inc. in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Rasna Successor’s common stock held by such person.

 

In connection with the share exchange, each share of Rasna, Inc was exchanged for the right to receive .33 shares in Active With Me, Inc. Once issued, the new shares were combined with the 3,305,000 common shares held by legacy Active With Me, Inc. shareholders. Immediately following the Merger, 1,500,000 shares were canceled, which related to one legacy Active With Me shareholder that effectively spun off the remaining assets of Active With Me in connection with the transaction. Finally, subsequent to the transaction, the legal acquirer executed a 3.25 for 1 stock split on its common shares. Historical common stock amounts and additional paid-in capital have been retroactively adjusted for the effect of the share splits executive in connection with the Merger transaction. Following the closing of the Merger and Rasna Successor’s cancellation of 1,500,000 shares in the Split-Off, there were 19,901,471 shares of Rasna Successor issued and outstanding, which once effected for the 3.25 for 1 reverse stock split, resulted in 64,679,798 shares outstanding in the combined entity.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2– “Accounting Policies”, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

 

Basis of preparation

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates any entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. Further, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity that it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and have the power to direct its significant activities. Upon review of the relationship between Rasna Therapeutics (“Rasna UK”) and Rasna, Management noted that equity investment in Rasna UK is not sufficient to fund its operations. Accordingly, Rasna is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the assets held within Rasna UK, which primarily consist of cash received from Rasna to fund its operations, and has power to direct its significant activities. As a result, Rasna consolidates this variable interest entity.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary, Arna Therapeutics Limited as well as the operations of Rasna for the period from May 17, 2016 through September 30, 2016. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Business Combinations

 

Management accounts for business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

 

The amounts reflected within the Note 3 - Acquisitions are the results of the preliminary purchase price allocation and will be updated upon completion of the final valuation report. Management is required to complete the purchase price allocation within 12 months of the acquisition date. If such completion of the allocation results in a change in the preliminary values, the measurement period adjustment will be recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined in accordance with ASU 2015-16.

 

Going concern

 

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

 

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years, and as at September 30, 2016, had an accumulated deficit of $6,331,183, a net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2016 of $1,507,135 and net cash used in operating activities of $1,353,798.

 

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. The Group has sufficient funds to continue operating until the end of the third quarter of 2017, but will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Group's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Group's cost structure. 

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Fair Value

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, related party balances, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such financial instruments. Management measures certain other assets, including nonmarketable equity securities, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of related party receivables.

 

Deposits held with banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. Management believes that the institutions that hold our instruments are financially sound and are subject to minimal credit risk.

 

 17 

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Goodwill and Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are made up of in-process research and development, (“IPR&D”) and certain intellectual property (“IP”). IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to acquired technologies, which at the time of acquisition have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IP assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies, which at the time of acquisition have reached technological feasibility, however, have not yet been put into service. Intangible assets are considered to have an indefinite useful life until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects at which time they will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their economic or legal useful life.

 

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations.  Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test.  Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 

Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges as of the six months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, and other risks associated with an early stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Research and development

 

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the statements of operation in the year in which it is incurred with the exception of expenditures incurred in respect of the development of major new products where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain in regards to viability and technical feasibility. Such expenditure is capitalized and amortized straight line over the estimated period of sale for each product, commencing in the year that sales of the product are first made. To date, the Company has not capitalized any such expenditures other than certain IPR&D & IP recorded in connection with certain acquisition or equity transactions.

 

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. Management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings experience by jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, and the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, as well as other relevant factors. A valuation allowance may be established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that management believes is more likely than not to be realized. Due to inherent complexities arising from the nature of the business, future changes in income tax law and variances between actual and anticipated operating results, management makes certain judgments and estimates. Therefore, actual income taxes could materially vary from these estimates.

 

The Company recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company records a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s tax return. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision. The Company incurred no liability and, therefore, did not need to record interest and penalties during the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Foreign Currency,

 

Items included in the financial statements are measured using their functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”), which is the company’s functional and presentational currency.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the rate of exchange applicable at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-translation at the year end of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 there were no common equivalent shares.

 

Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees

 

The Company offers stock-based compensation awards based on fair value as of the grant date. Management uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant.

 

Given the limited history with employee grants, the “simplified” method is used for estimating the expected term for stock option awards. The “simplified” method, is calculated as the average of the contractual term and the average vesting period. Estimated volatility is based upon the historical volatility of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available, as the Company did not have sufficient trading history for its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award is granted, with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. The expected dividend assumption is based on the current expectations about the Company’s anticipated dividend policy.

 

The fair value of an award expected to vest on a straight-line basis is amortized over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. For awards with service only conditions and a graded vesting schedule, management elected to recognize costs on a straight-line basis. The Company uses historical data to estimate the number of future forfeitures.

Revenues

 

There were no revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 because Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. does not have any commercial biopharmaceutical products.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses consisting of, research and development costs, consultancy fees, legal and professional fees and general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $1,560,152 from $224,319 for the six months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1,335,833. The increase is primarily attributable to increased research and development activity in conjunction with increased general and administrative costs.

Net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $1,507,135 from $224,319 for the six months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1,282,816. The increase is primarily attributable to increased research and development cost associated with licensing agreements, offset by an increase in foreign currency transaction gains.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We will be required to raise additional capital within the next year to continue the development and commercialization of current product candidates and to fund operations. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Recently worldwide economic conditions and the international equity and credit markets have significantly deteriorated and may remain difficult for the foreseeable future. These developments will make it more difficult to obtain additional equity or credit financing, when needed. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may (i) involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct, delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; (ii) seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize its self on unfavorable terms.

Liquidity

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

 

   Six Months Ended September 30, 
   2016   2015   Increase/(Decrease) 
             
Net cash used in operating activities  $(1,353,798)  $-   $1,353,798 
Net cash provided by investing activities  $5,116,609   $-   $5,116,609 

 

Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,353,798 for the six months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $0 for the six months ended September 30, 2015. The change is principally attributable to net loss of $1,507,135 excluding non-cash items such as share based compensation to non-employees of $407,468 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of ($254,131) and for the six months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to a net loss of $224,319 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $224,319 for the six months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Cash Provided by Investing Activities

 

Cash provided by investing activities consists of assets acquired in business combination of a VIE of $5,116,609 for the six months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $0 for the six months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest as evidenced by the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE and therefore are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We take into account our entire involvement in a VIE (explicit or implicit) in identifying variable interests that individually or in the aggregate could be significant enough to warrant our designation as the primary beneficiary and hence require us to consolidate the VIE or otherwise require us to make appropriate disclosures.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

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

 

The Certifying Officer has also indicated that there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, and no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

Our management, including the Certifying Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As a result of the post-acquisition integration of our Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. related activities during the six months ended September 30, 2016, we are in the process of evaluating the impact of the acquisition on our internal control over financial reporting as well as the necessary controls and procedures to be implemented.

 

In reliance upon SEC guidance, we intend to exclude management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting in the Form 10-K for our current year; and, accordingly will not be providing such assessment on an interim basis either in respect to the Company’s (formerly Active With Me) prior business or the continuing business.
