Organization and Nature of Operations

Organization and Nature of Operations

The Company is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, marketing and sales of innovative treatments and therapies primarily for rare and orphan diseases. On July 17, 2019, we completed a merger transaction with EMI Holding, Inc., formerly known as Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“EMI”), into a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), with EMI surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary. Immediately after completion of the Merger, we changed our name to “Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.”

The Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. For accounting purposed, EMI was considered to have acquired us. 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, we contributed and transferred to Telemynd, Inc. (“Telemynd”), a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, all or substantially all our historical business, assets and liabilities and our board of directors declared a stock dividend of one share of the Telemynd common stock held by the Company for each outstanding share of our common stock after giving effect to a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 As a result of the spin-off and the Merger, our ongoing business became EMI’s 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.

Principles of consolidation

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. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

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.

Restatement of Prior Period Amounts

Restatement of Prior Period Amounts — In connection with the preparation of our December 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements, we identified the following material errors in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

1.

The misclassification as equity of warrants issued by EMI in October of 2018, which warrants should have been accounted for as liabilities based upon fair value; and

 

 

2.

The erroneous consolidation as a variable interest entity, or VIE, of EMI’s interest in EJ Holdings, Inc., which should have been accounted for based upon the equity method.

 

 

3.

The mistreatment of the fair value of cashless exercise warrants originally recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, which fair value should have been recorded in additional paid-in capital in the

 

Consolidated Balance Sheets.  

 

 

4.

In addition to the errors described above, the restated financial statements also include adjustments to correct certain immaterial errors identified during the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Refer to the descriptions of the adjustments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Comprehensive Loss and their impact on net loss above. In addition, a cash flow classification adjustment related to EJ Holdings resulted in a net decrease to cash flows used by operating activities of $105,000.     

 

Net loss per share

Net loss per share — In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Dilutive loss per share is computed in a manner similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding potentially dilutive securities exercisable for or convertible into 16,698,829 shares and 17,995,514 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock. No potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share since the potential dilutive securities were out of the money for the period ended March 31, 2020 and were anti-dilutive for period ended March 31, 2019.
