BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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.

Going Concern Assessment

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

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

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

As of and for the period ending June 30, 2019, Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“Emmaus,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), formerly known as MYnd Analytics, Inc., was a predictive analytics 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.”.

 

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 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.
