This Quarterly Report is filed by Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“Emmaus,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), formerly known as MYnd Analytics, Inc. As of and for the period ending June 30, 2019, the Company was a predictive analytics company that had developed a decision support tool to help physicians reduce trial and error treatment in mental health and provide more personalized care to patients. As reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 22, 2019 and as discussed in more detail in this Quarterly Report, on July 17, 2019, the Company completed its merger transaction with EMI Holding, Inc., formerly known as Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“EMI”), pursuant to which EMI became 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 “Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.”

The Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization with EMI being deemed the acquiring company for accounting purposes under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in 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. (“Telemynd”), a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, all or substantially all of the Company’s business, assets and liabilities. On July 15, 2019, the board of directors of the Company declared a dividend with respect to the shares of the Company common stock outstanding at the close of business on that day of one share of the Telemynd common stock held by the Company for each outstanding share of the Company common stock after giving effect to a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effected by the Company on July 17, 2019. The dividend, which together with the contribution and transfer of the Company’s historical 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.

As a result of the 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. EMI is 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. For more information, please visit www.emmausmedical.com. The information contained on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report and should not be considered a part of this Quarterly Report.

On August 14, 2019, the Company filed an amendment on Form 8-K/A to its Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the completion of the Merger and the Spin-Off which includes financial statements of EMI as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and certain pro forma financial information. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the information in the Form 8-K/A.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc., (formerly, “MYnd Analytics, Inc.”) and its direct 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.

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.

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 company that had developed a decision support tool to help physicians reduce trial and error treatment in mental health 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. (“EMI”), 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 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 “Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.”.

In connection with and prior to the Merger, the Company contributed and transferred to Telemynd, Inc. (“Telemynd”), a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, all or substantially all of the Company’s business, assets and liabilities pursuant to the Amended and Restated Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2019, among the Company, Telemynd and MYnd Analytics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Separation Agreement”). On July 15, 2019, the board of directors of the Company declared a dividend with respect to the shares of the Company common stock outstanding at the close of business on that day of one share of the Telemynd common stock held by the Company for each outstanding share of the Company common stock after giving effect to the reverse split described below. The dividend, which together with the contribution and transfer 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 completion of, the 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.

As a result of the 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 consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, EMI and EMI’s wholly‑owned subsidiary, Emmaus Medical, Inc. and Emmaus Medical, Inc.’s wholly‑owned subsidiaries, Newfield Nutrition Corp., Emmaus Medical Japan, Inc. (“EMJ”), Emmaus Life Sciences, Co. Ltd (“ELSK”) and Emmaus Medical Europe, Ltd (“EM Europe”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The 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 the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if it has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The preparation of the 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.

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.

Inventories — Substantially, all the raw material purchased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 were from one vendor. The below table presents inventory by category (in thousands):

Marketable securities— The Company’s marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 consisted of the following; (a) 39,250 shares of capital stock of CellSeed, Inc., a Japanese Corporation (“CellSeed”) acquired in January 2009 at ¥680 JPY per share ($7.69 USD), which shares were sold in June 2019 for cash proceeds of approximately $221,000; and (b) 6,643,559 shares of capital stock of Telcon RF Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Korean corporation (formerly, Telcon Inc. and herein “Telcon”), which were acquired in July 2017 for ₩36,001,446,221 KRW (equivalent to $31.8 million USD) at ₩5,419 KRW per share.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the closing prices per Telcon share on the Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“KOSDAQ”) were ₩4,995 ($4.16 USD) and ₩8,280 KRW ($7.43 USD), respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the closing price per CellSeed share on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was ¥668 JPY ($6.07 USD).

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all shares of Telcon common stock were pledged to secure our obligations under the revised API agreement with Telcon.

As of December 31, 2018, the 39,250 shares of CellSeed common stock were pledged to secure a $300,000 convertible note of the Company issued to Mitsubishi UFJ Capital III Limited Partnership that was due on demand and were classified as marketable securities, pledged to creditor in our balance sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repaid the convertible notes.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets — Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

Other long-term liabilities—Other long-term liabilities consisted of the following at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

On June 12, 2017, the Company entered into an API Supply Agreement with Telcon pursuant to which Telcon advanced to the Company approximately ₩36.0 billion KRW (approximately $31.8 million USD) in consideration for the right to supply 25% of the Company’s requirements for bulk containers of pharmaceutical grade L-glutamine (“PGLG”). The advance was accounted for a trade discount. See Note 10 for additional details.

Fair value measurements — The following table presents the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

The following table presents the change in fair value of warrants issued to GPB Debt Holdings II, LLC as described in Note 8 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

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 as of the dates set forth in the table above was based on upon following assumptions:

The embedded conversion option in our 10% senior secured convertible debentures is separately accounted at fair value as a derivative liability under the guidance in ASC 815 as of September 30, 2019 and any changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion option are recognized in earnings.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the embedded conversion option measured as of September 30, 2019:

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.

The following table summarizes the revenue allowance and accrual activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands):

The following table summarizes revenues attributable to each of our customers who accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues (as a percentage of total revenues):

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, depreciation expense was approximately $16,000 and $13,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, depreciation expense was approximately $44,000 and $21,000, respectively.

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):

Net unrealized loss on marketable securities available-for-sale still held at September 30, 2019 and at September 30, 2018 was approximately $21.7 million and approximately $24.1 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following (in thousands):

Notes payable consisted of the following at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

(a) The notes are convertible to Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. shares.
(b) The notes are convertible to EMI Holding, Inc. shares.

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.

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 granted stock 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.

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.)

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 13, 2019, the date the financial statements were issued. No events require adjustment of, or disclosure in, the financial statements except for the common stock issued as follow:

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”).

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.

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.

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

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 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 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 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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

The table below lists our outstanding notes payable, convertible debentures and convertible notes payable as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the material terms of our outstanding borrowings:

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 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 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.

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 and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the present 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.

Refer to “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Annual Report for our critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 except for adopting the new lease accounting standard.

Disclosure controls and procedures (“DCP”) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. DCP include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 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 this evaluation and due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the 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 full annual accounting cycle since December 31, 2019 to fully validate the remediation of the material weaknesses in our internal controls and the effectiveness of the Company’s DCP.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 which have materially affected, or are 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:

Our 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.

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.

Please refer to the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report.

On July 9, 2019, EMI sold and issued an aggregate of 454,545 shares of EMI Holding, Inc.’s (“EMI”) common stock to certain stockholders, at a price of $6.60 per share, for an aggregate price of approximately $3,000,000.

On July 17, 2019, EMI issued an aggregate of 6,794,048 shares of common stock upon conversion of EMI convertible notes and notes payable.

The shares noted above were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Regulation D under the Securities Act. These issuance of the shares qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D because it did not involve a “public offering” based upon the following factors: (i) the shares were issued to a limited number of investors; (ii) there was no public solicitation; (iii) each investor was an “accredited investor” as such term is defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act; and (iv) the investment intent of the investors. No broker-dealers was used in connection with such issuance.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
