NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
At
our annual meeting of stockholders held on October 28, 2015, our stockholders approved a proposal to change the Companys
name to MYnd Analytics, Inc. from CNS Response, Inc. The Companys charter was officially amended on November 2, 2015. MYnd Analytics, Inc. (MYnd, CNS, we, us, our, or the Company), formerly known as CNS Response Inc., was incorporated in Delaware on March 20, 1987, under the name Age Research, Inc. Prior to January 16, 2007, the Company (then called Strativation, Inc.) was a shell company with nominal assets and our sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge. On January 16, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with CNS Response, Inc., a California corporation formed on January 11, 2000 (CNS California), and CNS Merger Corporation, a California corporation and the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary (MergerCo) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire CNS California in a merger transaction wherein MergerCo would merge with and into CNS California, with CNS California being the surviving corporation (the Merger). On March 7, 2007, the Merger closed, CNS California became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and on the same date the corporate name was changed from Strativation, Inc. to CNS Response, Inc. At the annual meeting held on October 28, 2015, stockholders approved a change in our name from CNS Response, Inc. to MYnd Analytics, Inc. On November 2, 2015, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation which, among other things, effected the name change to MYnd Analytics, Inc.
The Company is a cloud-based predictive analytics company that provides objective clinical decision support to mental healthcare providers for the treatment of behavioral disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Company uses its proprietary neurometric platform, PEER Online, to generate Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry (PEER) Reports to predict the likelihood of response by an individual to certain medications for the treatment of behavioral disorders. Management intends to conduct a clinical trial focused on Southern California (the SoCal Trial) using substantially the same protocol as had been previously been approved by the Walter Reed Institutional Review Board (the "Walter Reed IRB") during our 2013-2014 reimbursed clinical trial at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (Walter Reed) and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital (Fort Belvoir) (collectively, the Walter Reed PEER Trial), which employed our neurometric platform to provide PEER Reports to military psychiatrists treating patients primarily for depression with various comorbidities, including PTSD and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Our management believes the SoCal Trial will provide additional information to demonstrate the clinical and economic utility of our neurometric platform. We are also focusing our marketing efforts on Southern California to boost our commercialization of the PEER Online platform and its PEER Reports.
The Company acquired the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. (NTC) on January 15, 2008, to provide behavioral health care services. NTCs operations were discontinued effective September 30, 2012. See Note 3. Discontinued Operations.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has a limited operating history and its operations are subject to certain challenges, expenses, difficulties, delays, complications, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the operation of a business with a limited operating history. These risks include the ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, if at all, the failure to develop or supply technology or services to meet the demands of the marketplace, the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, competition within the industry, government regulation and the general strength of regional and national economies.
The Companys continued operating losses and limited capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has limited cash resources for its operations and will need to raise additional funds to meet its obligations as they become due. As of December 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $66,044,200. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had net losses from operations of $622,900 and $779,200 respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, were $607,500 and $793,700 respectively.
To date, the Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from debt and equity financings. The Company will need to raise additional funds immediately to continue its operations and needs to raise substantial additional funds before the Company can increase demand for its PEER Online services. Until it can generate a sufficient amount of revenues to finance its cash requirements, which it may never do, the Company must continue to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, borrowings or strategic collaborations. The Companys liquidity and capital requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its services, the future profitability of the Company, the rate of growth of the Companys business and other factors described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company continues to explore additional sources of capital, but there is substantial doubt as to whether any financing arrangement will be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company to permit it to continue operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Between September 22, 2014, and December 28, 2015, the Company issued secured convertible debt in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000. During the 2015 fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company were $1,350,000 from the debt offering. Additionally, for the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued secured convertible debt in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. |
