NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

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 Company’s 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, shareholders 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 Certificate of Incorporation which, among other things, effected the name change to MYnd Analytics, Inc.

 

The Company 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. The Company continues to be focused on military personnel and their family members who are suffering from depression, PTSD and other disorders through the military, Veterans Administration, and Canadian Forces. 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 acquired the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. (“NTC”) on January 15, 2008, to provide behavioral health care services.  NTC’s operations were discontinued effective September 30, 2012. All share amounts are reflective of the reverse split.

 

On September 21, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-200 reverse stock-split (“reverse split”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”),where every 200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the reverse-split were automatically combined into one share of Common Stock. Because the Amendment did not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the effect of the Amendment was to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance relative to the number of shares issued and outstanding. All share amounts stated in the document are reflective of the reverse split.

The Aspire Capital Equity Line

 

On December 6, 2016, the Company, entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of shares of the Company’s Common Stock over the 30-month term of the Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company maintains an effective registration statement registering the sale of the shares of Common Stock that have and may be issued to Aspire under the Purchase Agreement. Under the Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by the Company on which the closing sale price of its Common Stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice, directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock per business day, up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate at a per share purchase price equal to the lesser of:

 

a)       the lowest sale price of Common Stock on the purchase date; or

b)       the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices for Common Stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.

 

In addition, on any date on which the Company submits a purchase notice to Aspire Capital in an amount equal to 50,000 shares and the closing sale price of the Company’s stock is greater than $0.50 per share, the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock traded on its principal market on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares the Company may determine. The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice is generally 95% of the volume-weighted average price for Common Stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.

 

The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the period(s) used to compute the Purchase Price. The Company may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

 

The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital will not effect any sales under the Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock is less than $0.50. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and the Company will control the timing and amount of sales of Common Stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from the Company as directed by the Company in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 80,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”). The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its discretion, without any cost to the Company. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of Common Stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds from the Company receives under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

On February 23, 2017, Aspire Capital purchased 20,000 shares of Common Stock, at a per share price of $7.25, resulting in gross cash proceeds to the Company of $145,000. 

 

Liquidity

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $4.5 million and used $2.7 million of net cash in operating activities. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $73.0 million. In connection with these condensed 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, negative cash flows from operating activities, and a net working capital deficit.

 

8  

 

 

In July 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock and warrants, raising gross proceeds of approximately $8.79 million. As of August 14, 2017, approximately $9.9 million under the Purchase Agreement remains available for sale to Aspire Capital.

 

To meet our short and long-term liquidity needs, management expects to use existing cash balances (including cash raised from the July offering), our revenue generating activities and a variety of other means, including raising funds by selling additional securities to the public or to selected investors in PIPE transactions, utilizing the Aspire line, or by obtaining debt financing. Other sources of liquidity could include partnerships and/or collaborations and/or sale of assets. In addition, we will continue to seek as appropriate grants for scientific and clinical studies from various governmental agencies and foundations. Additionally, the company expects to continue to generate revenues to offset expenses.  

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially favorable terms or at all. 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.

 

Based on the Company’s current operating plan, management anticipates that, given current working capital levels, current financial projections, and the funds raised in the public offering described above, the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months.

 

Recent Private Placements

 

Between September 30, 2016, and March 20, 2017, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of 477,000 shares of its Common Stock, at a per share price of $6.25, in private placements to 13 accredited investors, for which it received gross cash proceeds of $2,981,300. Five of the 13 accredited investors were affiliates of the Company which represented 70% of such cash proceeds.

 

Public Offering

 

In July 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock and warrants, raising gross proceeds of approximately $8.79 million (See Note 7 for additional details on the equity financing).

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (’GAAP”) in the United States of America.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, an inactive parent company, and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries CNS California and NTC, which is a dormant company. There were no intercompany transactions to be eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of furniture and equipment, intangible assets, provision for income taxes, valuation of equity instruments, and accrued liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which 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.

The Company deposits its cash with major financial institutions which may, at times, exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company believes that the risk of loss is minimal. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses related to cash deposits with financial institutions.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any derivative financial instruments.

  

Investments

  

On April 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Master Purchase and Option Agreement with Arcadian Telepsychiatry LLC (“Arcadian”), a Pennsylvania based Limited Liability Company and Mr. Robert Plotkin, who, prior to the transaction, was the sole member and owned 100% of the membership interests in Arcadian. The Company made a $100,000 capital contribution to Arcadian and issued 1,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Plotkin for a membership interest equal to 10% of the outstanding membership interests, together with any and all rights, privileges and interests in Arcadian resulting from, associated with or arising from the purchased membership interests. The value of the 1,000 shares of Common Stock issued on the date of the grant on April 1, 2017, was valued at $5.90 per share for a total of $5,900. On June 19, 2017, the Company made an additional $20,000 capital contribution to Arcadian.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported are defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date (exit price). The Company is required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories:

 

Level 1 inputs are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 inputs are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

 

The Company had no financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016.

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company estimates the collectability of customer receivables on an ongoing basis by reviewing past-due invoices and assessing the current creditworthiness of each customer.  Allowances are provided for specific receivables deemed to be at risk for collection which as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 are $1,200 and $1,200 respectively.

 

Furniture and Equipment

 

Furniture and Equipment, which are recorded at cost, consist of office furniture and equipment which are depreciated, over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.  The useful life of these assets is estimated to be between three and five years.  Depreciation expense on furniture and equipment for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $11,400 and $2,300 respectively.  Accumulated depreciation at June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $75,900 and $64,500, respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

As required by ASC 350-30 the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. No impairment loss was recorded for the nine- months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. 

 

Intangible Assets 

 

Costs for software developed for internal use are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over three years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software development and costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility and estimated economic life. At June 30, 2017, the Company had $101,200 in capitalized software development costs. The Company started amortizing the software over its estimated economic life once it was placed into service in September 2016. Amortization was $20,200 for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and $0 for the nine month ended June 30, 2016.  Accumulated amortization on the intellectual property was $22,400 and $2,200 at June 30, 2017 and at September 30, 2016 respectively.

 

On November 23, 2011, the Company acquired intellectual property in the form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) biomarkers at a cost of $21,200 which was recorded at cost and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years on a straight-line basis. Amortization was $1,600 for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and $1,600 for the nine month ended June 30, 2016.  Accumulated amortization on the intellectual property was $11,800 and $10,200 at June 30, 2017 and at September 30, 2016 respectively.

 

Accrued Compensation

 

Accrued compensation consists of accrued vacation, accrued bonuses, and accrual of withholding taxes on certain common stock awards. The accrued compensation was $546,200 as of June 30, 2017 and $587,200 as of September 30, 2016.

  

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents cash collected in advance of services being rendered but not earned as of June 30, 2017 and 2016. This represents a philanthropic grant for the payment of PEER Reports ordered in a clinical trial for a member of the U.S. Military, a veteran or their family members, the cost of which is not covered by other sources. These deferred revenue grant funds total $45,900 as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Revenues

 

The Company recognizes revenue on services, being the delivery of PEER Reports to medical providers, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  In all cases, revenue is recognized when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, when collection is considered to be reasonably assured and the services have been delivered.

  

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company charges all advertising expenses to operations as incurred. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 advertising expenses were $41,700 and $148,300 respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has adopted ASC 718-20 and related interpretations which establish the accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under ASC 718-20, share-based compensation cost to option grantee, being employees, directors and consultants, and is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the option grantees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  We have identified the U.S. Federal and California as our “major” tax jurisdictions.  Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2013 through 2015 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2012 through 2015 California Franchise Tax Returns.  However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.

  

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.  In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740.  Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income tax based audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

   

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

ASC 220-10 requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income (loss) on an annual and interim basis.  Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is the same as its reported net income (loss) for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

   

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised and converted into Common Stock.

 

Restatement of Prior Period

  

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016 were restated to reflect: (i) the proper accounting treatment of the issuance of Commitment Shares with Aspire Capital as offering costs netted against additional paid in capital as part of stockholders equity and to reverse the associated amortization expense recorded therewith, and (ii) the effect thereof on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The incorrectly classified balance sheet item was non-cash in nature and the Company’s original report did not overstate available cash and cash equivalents nor did it understate its losses for the period. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, the Company filed with the SEC a report on Form 8-K reporting the restatement, as well as Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016. 

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Apart from the below-mentioned recent accounting pronouncements, there are no new accounting pronouncements that are currently applicable to the Company.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09) and has subsequently issued a number of amendments to ASU 2014-09. The new standard, as amended, provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018 and permits two methods of adoption: the full retrospective method, which requires the standard to be applied to each prior period presented, or the modified retrospective method, which requires the cumulative effect of adoption to be recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet selected the transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the method and timing of its adoption and impact of adopting this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires that a lessee recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and will be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This ASU may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The impact on the Company’s results of operations is currently being evaluated.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, accounting for forfeitures, and classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted, dependent upon the specific amendment that is adopted within the ASU. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows, and financial position.

 

13  

 

 

In December 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). Restricted Cash: this update clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance requires a reconciliation of totals in the statement of cash flows to the related cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash captions in the balance sheet. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements. 

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change to the terms and conditions of a stock-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 also provides guidance about the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. For all entities, including emerging growth companies, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

  

3. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common and Preferred Stock

 

Reverse Stock Split

  

At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting held on October 28, 2015, (“2015 Stockholders Meeting”) stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 180,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares.

 

Also at the Company’s 2015 Stockholder Meeting, its stockholders approved an amendment to the Charter for the purposes of effecting a reverse Common Stock-split at a later time and at any time until the next meeting of the Company’s stockholders which are entitled to vote on such actions, by a ratio of not less than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-200, and to authorize the Board of Directors (“Board”) to determine, at its discretion, the timing of the amendment and the specific ratio of the reverse stock-split. On August 24, 2016, the Board approved a 1-for-200 reverse stock-split which was effected on September 21, 2016.

 

On September 20, 2016, the Company announced that on September 21, 2016 it had filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Charter (the “Amendment”) to (i) effect a 1-for-200 reverse stock-split (“reverse split”) of its Common Stock, effective at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September 21, 2016 (the “Effective Time”). Because the Amendment did not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the effect of the Amendment was to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance relative to the number of shares issued and outstanding.

 

At the Effective Time, immediately and without further action by the Company’s stockholders, every 200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically combined into one share of Common Stock. In the event the reverse split left a stockholder with a fraction of a share, the number of shares due to that stockholder was rounded up. Further, any options, warrants and rights outstanding as of the Effective Time that were subject to adjustment were adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof. These adjustments included, without limitation, changes to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise or conversion of such securities, and changes to the applicable exercise or purchase price.

PRIOR YEAR REVISION

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we revised our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017 to correct the accounting for certain common stock awards granted in 2015 and 2016 to board members. Previously, certain stock grant compensation was presented as prepaid common stock when the compensation should have been recognized ratably as the stock awards vested. The revision, which we determined is not a material error, had no impact on loss from operations, or cash flows.

 

The impact on the individual line items of our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017 from the adjustment was as follows:

  

Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016:

 

    Previously Reported     Adjustments     Revised  
Prepaid Common Stock   $ 808,000     $ (808,000 )   $  
Additional Paid in Capital   $ 68,275,400     $ (808,000 )   $ 67,467,400  

 

Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016:

 

  Previously Reported     Adjustments     Revised  
Prepaid Common Stock   $ 588,100     $ (588,100 )   $  
Additional Paid in Capital   $ 70,056,100     $ (588,100 )   $ 69,468,000  

 

Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2017:

 

  Previously Reported     Adjustments     Revised  
Prepaid Common Stock   $ 368,300     $ (368,300 )   $  
Additional Paid in Capital   $ 71,950,300     $ (368,300 )   $ 71,582,000  

 

While there was no change to the previously reported net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, we did decrease the “amortization of grant of common stock” and increase “stock-based compensation” by $128,000. There were no other changes to the previously issued statement of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

6. LOSS PER SHARE

 

In accordance with ASC 260-10 (formerly SFAS 128, “Computation of Earnings Per Share”), basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  For the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has excluded all common equivalent shares from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as such securities are anti-dilutive. 

 

A summary of the net income (loss) and shares used to compute net income (loss) per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

Overview

(“we”, “us” or the “Company”), 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. We provide 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. We use our 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. We will continue to be focused on military personnel and their family members who are suffering from depression, PTSD and mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI”) through the military and veterans, and Canadian Armed Forces, expand commercially though the payer and self-insured markets, multi-physician and multi-practice provider groups as well as direct to consumer sales and seek to expand our data base includes younger adults and adolescents.

 

Working Capital

 

Since our inception, we have never been profitable and we have generated significant net losses. As of June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $73.0 million; at our fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, our accumulated deficit was $68.5 million and as of June 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $67.5 million. We incurred operating losses of $4.4 million and $2.1 million for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and incurred net losses of $4.4 million and $4.9 million for those respective periods. Large, non-cash, accounting transactions significantly impacted the net losses for the 2016 period.

 

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, other expenses were $5,800. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2016, other expenses were approximately $2.8 million, which included approximately $2.3 million as a result of accounting for the loss on extinguishment of debt, approximately $1.2 million of related interest expense and approximately $1.0 million of gain on derivative liability transactions. These non-cash charges are primarily the result of amendments to the terms of our convertible notes payable along with the issuance of warrants pursuant to our fund raising.

 

28  

 

 

We anticipate that a substantial portion of any capital resources and efforts would be focused on conducting our clinical trials, the scale-up of our commercial sales organization, further research, product development and other general corporate purposes, including accrued but unpaid expenses. We also anticipate that some future research and development projects would be funded by grants or third-party sponsorship, along with funding by the Company.

During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, we raised gross cash proceeds of $2.98 million from private placements of Common Stock at $6.25 per share.

Prior Year Revision

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we revised our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017 to correct the accounting for certain common stock awards granted in 2015 and 2016 to board members. Previously, certain stock grant compensation was presented as prepaid common stock when the compensation should have been recognized ratably as the stock awards vested. The revision, which we determined is not a material error, had no impact on loss from operations, or cash flows.

 

The impact on the individual line items of our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017 from the adjustment was as follows:

 

Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016:

 

    Previously Reported     Adjustments     Revised  
Prepaid Common Stock   $ 808,000     $ (808,000 )   $  
Additional Paid in Capital   $ 68,275,400     $ (808,000 )   $ 67,467,400  

 

Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016:

 

    Previously Reported     Adjustments     Revised  
Prepaid Common Stock   $ 588,100     $ (588,100 )   $  
Additional Paid in Capital   $ 70,056,100     $ (588,100 )   $ 69,468,000

Additional Paid in Capital   $ 71,950,300     $ (368,300 )   $ 71,582,000  

 

While there was no change to the previously reported net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, we did decrease the “amortization of grant of common stock” and increase “stock-based compensation” by $128,000. There were no other changes to the previously issued statement of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Financial Operations Overview

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on services, being the delivery of PEER Reports to medical providers, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition.” In all cases, revenue is recognized when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, when collection is considered to be reasonably assured and the services have been delivered.

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense

 

Stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash charge, results from stock option grants. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying option.

 

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

 

Property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, a permanent impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived or intangible asset exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of ten years.

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, changes in net non-operating Other Income (Expense) for Neurometric Services were as follows:

 

  For the 2017 period, we incurred $1,900 in cash interest charges. For the 2016 period, we incurred non-cash interest charges totaling $487,900 of which $64,600 was accrued interest on our convertible promissory notes at 5% per annum; the balance of $423,300 was comprised of warrant discount amortization and warrant and note conversion derivative liability charges; only $1,200 were for actual net interest paid in cash during the period.

 

  Under ASC 815, all derivative instruments are required to be measured periodically at fair value and the resultant change in fair value of non-hedging derivative instruments are to be recognized in current earnings. For the current 2017 quarter, no charges were incurred as we had no derivative liabilities during the period. For the 2016 period, we revalued our derivative liabilities for the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes which resulted in a net non-cash gain on derivative liabilities of $237,700.

Such increase was primarily attributable to the Canadian Armed Forces Study, the preparation of the SMART-MD clinical trial, and work associated with our quality systems. Consulting resources for the 2016 quarter were minimal due to the reduced level of activity at that time.

  (3) System development and maintenance costs increased by $5,700 between the 2017 and 2016 periods, primarily due to increased system maintenance costs and minor system enhancements. Costs associated with the development of our Outcomes Application are currently being capitalized and will be depreciated over the application’s expected economic life.
     

  (4) Conference and travel costs increased by $19,400 between the 2017 and 2016 periods, primarily due to travel to work on the Canadian Armed Forces Trial and to initiate the SMART-MD trial with Carolina Partners; For the 2016 period resources were limited.

 

  (5) Other miscellaneous expenses increased by $12,600 between the 2017 and 2016 periods. Such increases were partly due to the renewal of the State of California Medical Device Manufacturing License and monthly web-hosting fees for our patient-reported-outcomes application which we developed.

  (2) Legal fees increased by a net of $431,500 between the 2017 and 2016 periods. Of this increase $231,200 related to legal fees associated with our fund raising activities; $81,000 related to legal fees for the review of the Aspire Capital Equity Purchase Agreement; $119,300 related to specialty healthcare legal advice; the balance relates to general legal fees which was the same for both periods.

Neurometric Services expense, net   $ (5,800 )   $ (2,824,200 )     99 %

 

For the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, changes in net non-operating Other Income (Expense) for Neurometric Services were as follows:

 

  For the 2017 period, we incurred $5,800 in cash interest charges. For the 2016 period, we incurred non-cash interest charges totaling $1,227,700 of which $153,400 was accrued interest on our convertible promissory notes at 5% per annum; the balance of $1,074,300 was comprised of warrant discount amortization and warrant and note conversion derivative liability charges; only $2,400 was for actual net interest paid in cash during the period.

 

  Under ASC 815, all derivative instruments are required to be measured periodically at fair value and the resultant change in fair value of non-hedging derivative instruments are to be recognized in current earnings. For the current 2017 period, no charges were incurred as we had no derivative liabilities during the period. For the 2016 period, we revalued our derivative liabilities for the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes which resulted in a net non-cash gain on derivative liabilities of $1,035,900.

 

  For the 2016 period, we incurred a non-cash loss of $2,337,400 as a result of the accounting for the extinguishment of debt. The debt extinguishment accounting was precipitated by the changes in the fair value of existing notes pursuant to that certain amended note & warrant purchase agreement which extended the maturity date of the existing Notes and provided 100% warrant coverage of the shares underlying the Notes. No similar transaction occurred in the 2017 period.

    2017     2016        
Neurometric Services net loss   $ (4,464,600 )   $ (4,948,400 )     (10 )%

 

The net loss for our Neurometric Services business of $4,464,600 for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to the approximately $4,948,400 loss in the prior year is primarily due to the large non-cash accounting charges in our Other Expenses category described directly above.

The Company’s operating loss of $4,410,100 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2017, is an increase of $2,118,000 from the $2,123,900 loss for the same period in the prior year. This additional operating loss is largely due to the vesting of grants of common stock and options to directors, officers and staff. Additionally, increased legal fees associated with financing activities, which includes the Aspire Capital Equity Purchase Agreement and corporate actions including the reverse stock split and the annual meeting.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and have never been profitable. As of June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $73.0 million; at September 30, 2016, our accumulated deficit was approximately $68.5 million. Our management expects that with our proposed clinical trials, sales and marketing and general and administrative costs, our expenditures will continue to grow and, as a result, we will need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. We may never achieve profitability.

 

As of June 30, 2017, we had $0.41 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital deficit of approximately $1.63 million. This is compared to our cash position of $0.43 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2016, and a working capital deficit of $1.26 million.

 

The Company has been funded through multiple rounds of private placements, primarily from members of our Board or our affiliates. For details please refer to Item 2. Private Placement Transactions and Notes 3 and 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock and warrants, raising gross proceeds of approximately $8.79 million.

 

Working Capital, Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

 

As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $0.41 million in cash and $9.9 million remaining available for stock sales under the terms of the Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital, compared to $0.3 million of cash as of September 30, 2016.

 

In July 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock and warrants, raising gross proceeds of approximately $8.79 million. Management expects that the proceeds of the public offering will be sufficient for us to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

 

This assessment is based on current estimates and assumptions regarding our programs and business needs. Actual working capital requirements could differ materially from the above working capital projection. We may explore strategic opportunities including partnerships, licensing and acquisitions of other entities, assets or products.

 

Our ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of equity securities, when needed, is subject to many risks and uncertainties and even if we are successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Our risk factors are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I Item 1A and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the SEC.

 

The amount of capital we will need to conduct our operations and the time at which we will require such capital may vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, such as:

 

●      the amount and timing of costs we incur in connection with our clinical trials and product development activities, including enhancements to our PEER Online database and costs we incur to further validate the efficacy of our technology;

 

●      the amount and timing of costs we incur in connection with the expansion of our commercial operations, including our sales and marketing efforts;

 

44  

 

 

●      whether we incur additional consulting and legal fees in our efforts in conducting Non-Significant Risk trials within FDA requirements, which will enable us to obtain a 510(k) clearance from the FDA; and

 

●     if we expand our business by acquiring or investing in complimentary businesses.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed from equity and debt financings. Between September 2014, and August 2016 we have raised $6.0 million through the private placement of secured convertible debt with an exercise price of $5.00 per share of Common Stock. Of this funding $5.1 million, or 85%, was provided by directors, an officer and affiliates of the Company.

 

The Aspire Capital Equity Line of Credit

 

On December 6, 2016, the Company, entered into a common stock Purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock over the 30-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 80,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On February 23, 2017, pursuant to a purchase notice issued by the Company to Aspire Capital pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Aspire Capital purchased 20,000 shares of Common Stock, at a per share price of $7.25, resulting in gross cash proceeds of $145,000.

 

The issuance of shares of common stock that may be issued from time to time to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement are exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

For details of these financings please see Note 3 and Note 5 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock and warrants, raising gross proceeds of approximately $8.79 million. In the offering, the Company sold 1,675,000 shares of Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 1,675,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), at a combined public offering price of $5.25 per share and accompanying Warrant, for a total offering size of $8,793,750. The Warrants were immediately exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the issuance date. In connection with the offering, the Company granted the representative of the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an 251,250 additional shares of Common Stock and/or Warrants to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,671,900 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2,209,900 for the same period in 2016. Of the net $456,100 increase in cash used for operations between the two periods: in general net cash expenditures increased across the board including: consulting fees which increased by approximately $537,000, system maintenance and development increased by $5,700. These increases were partly offset by a reduction in advertising expenditures of $115,000.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2017 the Company spent $230,000 in investing activities, including $87,100 in the purchase of computer equipment and expenditure on our Patient Reported Outcomes application and $120,000 investment in Arcadian. During the nine months ended June 30, 2016 the Company spent $68,500 in investing activities.

 

Financing activities for the nine-months ended June 30, 2017, was $2.99 million, including $2.98 million cash proceeds received from private placements of equity from 13 accredited investors, of which five are affiliated with the Company. During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, financing activities were $2.10 million raised from the private placements pursuant to the second amended note & warrant purchase agreement from eight affiliated investors of the Company.

 

Income Taxes

 

Current and non-current deferred taxes have been recorded on a net basis in the accompanying balance sheet. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had Federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $45.8 million and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $29.3 million. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022 and 2017 respectively. Our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in the event that a change in ownership, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, occurs in the future. The Company has placed a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such excess tax assets. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

Item 4.           Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an evaluation as of June 30, 2017 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2017, were effective for the purposes stated above.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not currently party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in the Company’s management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

Item 1A.        Risk Factors

 

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in the Risk Factors section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

 

The risk factor captioned “We need immediate additional funding to support our operations and capital expenditures, which may not be available to us. This lack of availability could result in the cessation of our business. Our continued operating losses and limited capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Even after taking into account the receipt of net proceeds of our July 2017 public offering, our current operating plan will require significant levels of additional capital. Such capital may not be available when needed and on acceptable terms.

 

46  

 

 

Even after taking into account the receipt of net proceeds of our $8.79 million July 2017 public offering, our current operating plan will require significant levels of additional capital to fund, among other things, the continued advancement and commercialization of PEER product, financing pilot programs, clinical trials and strategic growth including acquisitions.

 

On average, we expended approximately $250,000 of cash per month during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. Cash used in operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and year ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $2.67 million and $2.98 million, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital after we exhaust our current cash.

 

When we elect to raise additional funds or additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements or other financing alternatives, as well as through sales of Common Stock to Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) under a common stock purchase agreement between us and Aspire Capital, dated as of December 6, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10 million of our Common Stock (on any trading day that our stock price does not close below $0.50 per share) over the 30-month term of the Purchase Agreement.

 

Additional equity or debt financing or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we will be prevented from pursuing acquisition, licensing, development and commercialization efforts and our ability to generate revenues and achieve or sustain profitability will be substantially harmed.

 

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities (including pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences, which are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected and we may be unable to continue our operations.

 

The risk factor captioned “Our liabilities exceed our assets; we have a working capital deficit” is hereby deleted.

 

The risk factor captioned “We currently have a limited trading volume, which results in higher price volatility for, and reduced liquidity of, our common stock” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Although our shares of common stock are now listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we currently have a limited trading volume, which results in higher price volatility for, and reduced liquidity of, our common stock.

 

Although our shares of common stock are now listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “MYND,” trading volume in our common stock has been limited and an active trading market for our shares of common stock may never develop or be maintained. The absence of an active trading market increases price volatility and reduces the liquidity of our common stock. As long as this condition continues, the sale of a significant number of shares of common stock at any particular time could be difficult to achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately before such shares are offered.

 

47  

 

 

The risk factor captioned “We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to potential future appreciation on the value of our common stock” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Other than a dividend of warrants each exercisable for one share of common stock that was distributed on or about July 27, 2017, we have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to potential future appreciation on the value of our common stock.

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including without limitation, our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. To the extent we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if and to the extent our stock price appreciates, which may never occur. In addition, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize their investment, and if the price of our stock does not appreciate, then there will be no return on investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

 

The following risk factors are hereby added:

 

If we cannot continue to satisfy NASDAQ’s continuing listing criteria, NASDAQ may subsequently delist our Common Stock.

 

NASDAQ requires us to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of our Common Stock. Generally, we must maintain a minimum amount of stockholders equity (generally $2.5 million) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (generally 300 round lot holders). If we fail to meet any of the continuing listing requirements, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting. If our Common Stock is delisted and we are not able to list our Common Stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained.

 

The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.

 

Our certificate of incorporation gives our board of directors the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.

Item 2.               Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Private Placement Transactions

Section 2.             Indemnification and Insurance .

 

(a)            Right to Indemnification . Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation-to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. 

 

(b)            Right of Claimant to Bring Suit . If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard or conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard or conduct.

 

(c)            Non-Exclusivity of Rights . The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

(d)            Insurance . The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

 

 

 

The undersigned, for the purpose of forming a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, do make, file and record this certificate, and do certify that the facts stated herein are true; and have executed this Certificate of Incorporation.

EXECUTION VERSION

 

WARRANT AGREEMENT

 

MYnd Analytics, Inc.

 

and

 

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC,

 

as Warrant Agent

 

 

 

 

WARRANT AGREEMENT

 

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ” or “ Warrant Agreement ”), dated as of July 25, 2017, is by and between MYnd Analytics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company, as Warrant Agent (the “ Warrant Agent ”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend to holders of record (“ Record Holders ”) as of July 13, 2017 of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Common Stock ”), of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (“ Warrants ”) and, in connection therewith, has determined to issue and deliver up to 2,539,061 Warrants to Record Holders, each such Warrant evidencing the right of the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance of a certificate (the “ Warrant Certificate ”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A representing such number of Warrants set forth therein, and the other matters as provided herein.

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms and conditions upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Warrants (each, a “ Holder ”); and

 

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Appointment of Warrant Agent . The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

2  

 

 

2. Form of Warrant .

 

2.1 Warrants in Global Form . The Warrants shall initially be issuable in book-entry registration only and evidenced by one or more global Warrant Certificates (the “ Global Warrant Certificates ”) deposited with the Depository Trust Company (the “ Depository ”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (“ Cede ”), a nominee of the Depository. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership (in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement) shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) the Depository or its nominee for each Global Warrant Certificate or (ii) institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institutions, with respect to a Warrant in its account, each a “ Participant ”). For purposes of this Agreement, the delivery of a notice from the Depository or a Participant of the transfer (in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement) or exercise of Warrants in the form of a Global Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to constitute the delivery of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such transfer or exercise. If the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding other arrangements for book-entry settlement. If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, not to have securities represented by the Global Warrant Certificates, the Company will instruct the Warrant Agent to prepare and deliver physical certificates evidencing the Warrants in exchange for the beneficial interests in the Global Warrant Certificates, based on directions received by the Depository from its Participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Warrant Certificates. In such event, any physical certificates evidencing the Warrants shall represent one or more Warrants as set forth on the Warrant Certificate and be issued in registered form only as definitive Warrant Certificates and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be dated the date of issuance thereof (whether upon initial issuance, register of permitted transfer, exchange or replacement) and shall bear such legends and endorsements typed, stamped, printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.2 Effect of Signature . Warrant Certificates shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile or electronic signature of, the Chair of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, any Vice President, or Secretary of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile or electronic signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant Certificate before such Warrant Certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance

 

2.3 Effect of Countersignature . Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant Certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Warrant Certificate has been duly issued under the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.4 Registration .

 

2.4.1 Warrant Register . The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “ Warrant Register ”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of permitted transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrants represented thereby for the purpose of any exercise thereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes under this Agreement, absent actual notice to the contrary. Any Person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate is recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its nominee shall be deemed the “beneficial owner” thereof for the purposes of this Agreement; provided, that all such beneficial interests shall be held through a Participant, which shall be the registered holder of such Warrants.

 

3  

 

 

2.4.2 Registration of Transfers . The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer (in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement) of any portion of a Warrant Certificate in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Assignment attached thereto, to the Warrant Agent at its address specified for notice set forth in this Agreement. Upon any such registration or permitted transfer, a new Warrant Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (any such new Warrant Certificate, a “ New Warrant Certificate ”), evidencing the portion of the Warrant Certificate so transferred shall be issued to the permitted transferee and a New Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the Warrant Certificate not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. Upon issuance and delivery of the New Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Certificate surrendered to the Warrant Agent shall be clearly marked “cancelled” or bear a similar statement to that effect. The delivery of the New Warrant Certificate by the Warrant Agent to the permitted transferee thereof shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by such permitted transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Warrants are evidenced by Global Warrant Certificates deposited with the Depository, ownership of beneficial interests in the Warrants shall be shown on, and the permitted transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained (i) by the Depository or its nominee for each Warrant; (ii) by Participants; or (iii) directly on the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent with respect only to owners of beneficial interests that represent such direct registration.

 

2.5 Uncertificated Warrants . Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, unless otherwise requested by the holder, the Warrants may be issued in uncertificated or book-entry form through the Warrant Agent and/or the facilities of the Depository or other book-entry depositary system. Any Warrant so issued shall have the same terms, force and effect as a certificated Warrant that has been duly countersigned by the Warrant Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

4  

 

 

3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants .

 

3.1 Exercise Price . Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $5.25 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided herein. The term “ Exercise Price ” as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.

 

3.2 Duration of Warrants . A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “ Exercise Period ”) commencing on July 27, 2018 (the first anniversary of issuance thereof) and ending on the earlier of: (a) July 26, 2022; or (b) upon the dissolution and winding up of the Company (the “ Expiration Date ”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions. Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date.

 

3.3 Exercise of Warrants .

 

3.3.1 Exercise and Payment . Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, and if and only if, there is then an effective registration statement (“ Registration Statement ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), covering the offer and sale of the Warrant Shares and as to which no “stop order” suspending the effectiveness thereof shall be in effect, a Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by submitting a duly executed election to purchase (“ Election to Purchase ”) attached to the applicable Warrant, at the office of the Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York or at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York (or, in the case of a Global Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depository’s procedures), which may be done by fax or email delivery, and by paying, within two days of the date of exercise, in full the Exercise Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised, in lawful money of the United States, by wire transfer or in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Company or by Cashless Exercise in accordance with Section 3.3.2 hereof. Upon delivery of an Election to Purchase when there is then an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of the Warrant Shares and as to which no “stop order” suspending the effectiveness thereof shall be in effect, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which a Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be).

3.3.2 Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if and only if an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Election to Purchase is not available for the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, the Registered Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

   

 Net Number =   (A x B) - (A x C)  
    B  

 

  For purposes of the foregoing formula:
  A          = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
  B          = the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices (as defined below) of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Election to Purchase.
  C          = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable shares of Common Stock at the time of such exercise.

 

Upon receipt of an Election to Purchase for a Cashless Exercise, the Warrant Agent will promptly deliver a copy of the Election to Purchase to the Company to confirm the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with the Cashless Exercise. The Company will promptly calculate and transmit the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with such Cashless Exercise to the Warrant Agent, which shall issue such number of Warrant Shares in connection with such Cashless exercise.

 

The term “ Closing Sale Price ” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for such security on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Nasdaq Capital Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price, as the case may be, then the last bid price or the last trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Nasdaq Capital Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the OTC Link or “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc. (formerly Pink OTC Markets Inc.). If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Registered Holder. If the Company and the Registered Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, assuming the Registered Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, the shares of Common Stock issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Registered Holder, and the holding period for the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date the Warrant was originally issued

 

3.3.3 Issuance of Common Stock on Exercise . Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, upon delivery of an appropriately completed and duly signed Election to Purchase submitted in accordance with Section 3.3.1 hereof (with the Warrant Shares Exercise Log attached and reference to the applicable Warrant Certificate sufficient to identify it) to the Warrant Agent (or, in the case of a Global Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depository’s procedures), at its address for notice set forth herein, and assuming funds for exercise are paid on or before the second trading day following the date of receipt by the Company of an Election to Purchase, then on or before the third trading day following the date upon which the Company has received an Election to Purchase for a Warrant, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to (i) provided that the transfer agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Warrants are exercised through a Cashless Exercise, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian System, or (ii) if the transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the Holder, or at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the delivered Election to Purchase, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case pursuant to this clause (ii), sent by reputable overnight courier to the address specified in the applicable Election to Purchase, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Election to Purchase), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.

 

3.3.4 Valid Issuance . All Common Stock issued or issuable upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

7  

 

 

3.3.5 Date of Issuance . Each person in whose name any certificate for the Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Stock on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and, other than in the case of Cashless Exercise, payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books are open

 

3.4 Beneficial Ownership Limitation on Exercises . The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of a Warrant, and the Registered Holder of such Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Registered Holder (together with the Registered Holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any Registered Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on exercise shall not apply to any Registered Holder who, together with such Registered Holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such Registered Holder and such Registered Holder’s affiliates, owns in excess of the Maximum Percentage immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Registered Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by the Registered Holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Registered Holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Registered Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.4 applies, the Registered Holder’s submission of an Election to Purchase shall be deemed to be the Registered Holder’s determination of whether a Warrant is exercisable (in relation to any other securities owned by the Registered Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of a Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Maximum Percentage, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of the Warrants, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Registered Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Registered Holder, the Company shall within three (3) trading days confirm to the Registered Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including any Warrant, by the Registered Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Registered Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant and the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall continue to apply; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to that Registered Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Common Stock underlying any Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage for a Registered Holder shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by that Registered Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.4 to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

4. Adjustments .

 

4.1 Stock Dividends .

 

4.1.1 Split-Ups . If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock, or by a split-up of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price shall be proportionally decreased such that the aggregate Exercise Price, after such adjustments, remains the same for each Warrant.

 

9  

 

 

4.1.2 Dividends and Other Distributions . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction), except to the extent an adjustment was already made pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or 4.2 (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Company shall reserve and put aside the maximum Distribution amount the Holder would have been entitled to receive if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution. Upon exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Company shall, contemporaneously with the delivery of the Warrant Shares, distribute to the Holder a pro rata portion of such Distribution based on the portion of the Warrant that has been exercised (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution at such time and to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

4.2 Aggregation of Shares . If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price shall be proportionally increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price, after such adjustments, remains the same for each Warrant.

 

10  

 

 

4.3 Purchase Rights . If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

11  

 

 

4.4 Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of a Warrant, the Registered Holder of each Warrant shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Registered Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 3.4 on the exercise of the Warrants), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 3.4 on the exercise of the Warrants). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then each Registered Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration such Registered Holder receives upon any exercise of a Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction in which cash and/or non-cash consideration is being offered to stockholders of the Company for their Common Stock, the Company shall, at a Registered Holder’s option, exercisable at any time prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase such Registered Holder’s Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction from the Registered Holder by paying cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of such Registered Holder’s Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of a Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the trading day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share of Common Stock being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction (the “FMV”) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all obligations of the Company under each Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3 pursuant to agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Registered Holders and approved by the Registered Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of each Registered Holder, deliver to such Registered Holder in exchange for such Registered Holder’s Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to such Registered Holder’s Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such Warrant (without regard to the limitations on exercise set forth in Section 3.4) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of such Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Registered Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Agreement and each Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and each Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

12  

 

 

4.5 Calculations . All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest whole share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 4, any calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall not include treasury shares, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of the immediately preceding sentence are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. In any case in which this Section 4 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, if the Registered Holder exercises a Warrant after such record date, the Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company in excess of the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that in such case the Company or the Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Registered Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Registered Holder’s right to receive such additional shares and/or other capital securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

4.6 Notices of Changes in Warrant . Upon every adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each Warrant holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

13  

 

 

4.7 No Fractional Shares . Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round to the nearest whole number, the number of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder.

 

4.8 Form of Warrant . The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement.

 

4.9 Other Events . In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of preceding subsections of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

 

5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants .

 

5.1 Registration of Transfer . The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer, only in the following limited circumstances: (i) transfers as a gift or gifts, by will or intestacy or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Registered Holder or the immediate family of the Registered Holder (provided that any donee or transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof); (ii) the distribution of Warrants to partners, members, stockholders, other equity holders of the Registered Holder, or if the Registered Holder is a trust, trust beneficiaries, in each case, of the Registered Holder’s (provided that any transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof); (iii) transfers of Warrants to the Registered Holder’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Registered Holder’s (provided that any transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof); and (iv) a tender offer of Warrants of the Company or any other transaction, including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation or other business combination, involving a change of control of the Company (including, without limitation, entering into any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the Registered Holder may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of the Warrants in connection with any such transaction), provided that all Warrants subject to this Agreement that are not so transferred, sold, tendered or otherwise disposed of remain subject to this Agreement; and provided further that it shall be a condition of transfer, sale, tender or other disposition that if such tender offer or other transaction is not completed, any Warrants subject to this Agreement shall remain subject to the restrictions herein). Upon any such permitted transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.

 

14  

 

 

5.2 Procedure for Surrender of Warrants . Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or permitted transfer (in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement), and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants.

 

5.3 Fractional Warrants . The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of permitted transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.

 

5.4 Warrant Execution and Countersignature . The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.

 

6. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants .

 

6.1 No Rights as Stockholder . A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, except as otherwise set forth herein or in any Warrant, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

 

6.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants . If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity bond or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

15  

 

 

6.3 Reservation of Common Stock . The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

 

6.4 Registration of Common Stock . The Company shall use reasonable efforts to register the Warrant Shares in a Registration Statement prior to the Warrants becoming exercisable. Subject to any Black Out Period (as defined below), the Company will use reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein, or to file and maintain the effectiveness of another registration statement under the Securities Act and another current prospectus covering the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants at any time that the Warrants are exercisable. In addition, the Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to register such shares of Common Stock under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of the exercising Warrant holders to the extent an exemption from such registration is not available

 

6.5 Black Out Periods . If, at any time during which a prospectus for a Registration Statement is required to be delivered in connection with the sale of any Warrant Shares, the Company reasonably determines in good faith that a development has occurred or a condition exists as a result of which the prospectus contains a material misstatement or omission, or that a material transaction in which the Company is engaged or proposes to engage would require an amendment to the prospectus or Registration Statement, a supplement to the applicable Registration Statement and related prospectus, or a filing under the Exchange Act or other public disclosure of material information and the disclosure of such transaction would be materially premature or materially injurious to the consummation of the transaction, the Company will so notify in writing the holders of the Warrant Shares to otherwise be included in the Registration Statement. Upon receipt of such notification, such holders and their affiliates will immediately suspend all offers and sales of Warrant Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or supplement the applicable Registration Statement and related prospectus or make such filings or public disclosures as promptly as reasonably practicable consistent with the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5 and will use reasonable efforts to take such other steps as may be required to permit sales of the Warrant Shares thereunder by the holders of Warrant Shares whose Warrant Shares are to be, or are, included in the Registration Statement and its affiliates in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Company will notify the holders of Warrant Shares whose Warrant Shares are to be, or are, included in the Registration Statement after it has determined in good faith that such sales have become permissible in such manner and will deliver copies of the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented, if applicable) or, alternatively, provide a link to the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented, if applicable) on the SEC’s EDGAR system, to the holders of Warrant Shares whose Warrant Shares are to be, or are, included in the Registration Statement. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and prospectus, for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period, provided however any suspension that shall extend beyond the period set forth above shall be deemed a Public Information Failure under this Agreement.

The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
