  1. Organization, Nature of Operations and Going Concern Uncertainty

  

MYnd Analytics, Inc. (“MYnd,” “CNS,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), formerly known as CNS Response Inc., is a predictive analytics company that has developed a decision support tool to help physicians reduce trial and error treatment in mental health and provide more personalized care to patients. The Company provides objective clinical decision support to healthcare providers for the personalized treatment of behavioral disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post–traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and other non–psychotic disorders. 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 a range of medications prescribed for the treatment of behavioral disorders. Commercial expansion is focused on payer and self-insured markets, provider direct sales to multi-physician and multi-practice provider groups, and patient direct referrals to these groups. The Company continues to expand its database, including younger adults and adolescents. The Company also continues to focus on military personnel and their family members who are suffering from depression, PTSD and other disorders through the military, Veterans Administration, and Canadian Forces. 

 

On November 13th, 2017 the Company acquired Arcadian Telepsychiatry Services LLC (“Arcadian Services”) which manages the delivery of telebehavioral health services through a multi-state network of licensed and credentialed psychiatrists, psychologists and other behavioral health therapists (“Providers”). Arcadian Services, because it has access to a broad network of licensed behavioral health professionals exclusively focused on telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health. These Providers collectively offer a full suite of behavioral health and wellness services, including short-term (urgent), medium-term (rehabilitation) and long-term (management) behavioral care. 

 

Acquisition

  

On November 13, 2017, Arcadian Telepsychiatry LLC (“Arcadian”), MYnd and certain third-party physicians entered into a number of transactions to reorganize the operations of Arcadian and implement a new ownership and management structure. Arcadian converted into a Pennsylvania professional corporation after the equity interests in Arcadian were sold to a third - party physician for nominal consideration. On that same date, Arcadian entered into a Management Services Agreement with Arcadian Services and transferred certain assets and liabilities to Arcadian Services including its debt obligations. MYnd subsequently acquired 100% of the equity interests in Arcadian Services and in consideration for the transfer of the equity interests in Arcadian Services, MYnd entered into an employment agreement with the founder of Arcadian, pursuant to which MYnd will continue to employ the former founder of Arcadian as the CEO of Arcadian Services for an annual salary of $215,000 and granted him options to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock of MYnd. In addition, MYnd agreed to guarantee Arcadian Services’ assumed debt. 

 

Arcadian Services manages the delivery of telebehavioral health services through a multi–state network of licensed and credentialed psychiatrists, psychologists and other behavioral health therapists or “Providers”. As a result of certain state regulations, Arcadian Services entered into several management services agreements with professional entities owned by physicians who are licensed in those states to provide telepsychiatry services directly to patients. Arcadian Services will collect revenue based on management fees charged to the doctors who own the professional entities through which the telepsychiatry services are being delivered. Arcadian Services is not capital intensive and had a limited number of employees, therefore their balance sheet consisted primarily of working capital accounts and a limited amount of property and equipment consisting primarily of office furniture and computer equipment. Working capital and property equipment (no value assigned) were deemed to be at their fair value due to their short–term nature. The Company hired an independent third–party valuation services firm to assist the Company in its accounting for the intangibles and non–competition agreement in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards (“FASB”) Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). 

 

Going Concern Uncertainty 

 

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

 

The Company’s recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $5.4 million and used $4.7 million of net cash in operating activities. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $81.1 million. In connection with these consolidated financial statements, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, and negative cash flows from operating activities.

 

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

 

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