MYND ANALYTICS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization, Nature of Operations and Going Concern Uncertainty

 

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

 

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

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

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

 

The Company’s recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $8.4 million and used $7.4 million of net cash in operating activities. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $83.6 million. In connection with these consolidated financial statements, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses, and negative cash flows from operating activities. 

 

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

 

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

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated. The interim results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2018 fiscal year or any other future interim periods. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Mynd, its wholly owned subsidiary, Arcadian Services, two professional associations, Arcadian Telepsychiatry PA (“Texas PA”) which is incorporated in Texas and Arcadian Telepsychiatry Florida P.A. (“Florida PA”) which is incorporated in Florida, and two professional corporations, Arcadian Telepsychiatry P.C. (“ Pennsylvania PC”) which is incorporated in Pennsylvania and Arcadian Telepsychiatry of California, P.C. (“California PC”) which is incorporated in California collectively “the Arcadian Entities.”

 

Arcadian Services is party to Management Services Agreements by and among it and the Arcadian Entities pursuant to which each entity provides services to Arcadian Services. Each entity is established pursuant to the requirements of its respective domestic jurisdiction governing the corporate practice of medicine. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Variable Interest Entities (VIE)

 

On November 13, 2017, Arcadian Services entered into a management and administrative services agreement with a Texas PA which is incorporated in Texas and with a Pennsylvania PC which is incorporated in Pennsylvania, for an initial fixed term of 20 years. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, Texas PA and Pennsylvania PC are determined to be a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) as MYnd is the primary beneficiary with the ability to direct the activities (excluding clinical decisions) that most significantly affect Texas PA’s and Pennsylvania PC’s economic performance through its majority representation of the Texas PA and Pennsylvania PC; therefore, Texas PA and Pennsylvania PC’ are consolidated by MYND.

 

On January 19, 2018, Arcadian Services entered into a management and administrative services agreement with California PC which is incorporated in California, for an initial fixed term of 20 years. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, California PC is determined to be a VIE and MYnd is the primary beneficiary with the ability to direct the activities (excluding clinical decisions) that most significantly affect California PC’s economic performance through its majority representation of California PC; therefore, California PC is consolidated by MYND.

 

On March 27, 2018, Arcadian Services entered into a management and administrative services agreement with Florida PA which is incorporated in Florida, for an initial fixed term of 20 years. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, Florida PA is determined to be a VIE and MYnd is the primary beneficiary with the ability to direct the activities (excluding clinical decisions) that most significantly affect Florida PA’s economic performance through its majority representation of Florida PA; therefore, Florida PA is consolidated by MYND.

 

The Company holds a variable interest in the entities which contract with physicians and other health professionals in order to provide telepsychiatry services to Arcadian Services. The entities are considered variable interest entities since they do not have sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support. An enterprise having a controlling financial interest in a VIE must consolidate the VIE if it has both power and benefits—that is, it has (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company has the power and rights to control all activities of the entities and funds and absorbs all losses of the VIE.

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, valuation allowance on deferred 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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash with major financial institutions and may at times exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000.  At June 30, 2018 cash exceeds the federally insured limit by $2,381,100.  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. 

 

Debt Instruments

 

Debt instruments are initially recorded at fair value, with coupon interest and amortization of debt issuance discounts recognized in the statement of operations as interest expense at each period end while such instruments are outstanding.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, ASC 825-10 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

 

The Company also analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480-10, ASC 815-10 and ASC 815-40.

 

The FASB has established a framework for measuring fair value using generally accepted accounting principles. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

Level I inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
     
Level II inputs to the valuation methodology include:
     
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
     
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
     
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

 

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means;

 

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level III inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The changes in carrying amounts of the debt acquired through acquisition for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:

 

Beginning balance as of acquisition date (November 13, 2017)   $ 555,000  

Accretion of debt discount

  23,400  
Ending balance (June 30, 2018)   $ 578,400  

 

The long–term borrowing noted above was recorded at fair value in connection with the business combination described in Note 5, and are not required to be re–valued at each subsequent reporting date.

 

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, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were $3,700 and $1,000, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and Equipment, which are recorded at cost, consist of office furniture and equipment which are depreciated, over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The useful lives of these assets are estimated to be between three and five years. Depreciation expense on furniture and equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $16,100 and $7,800, respectively. Depreciation expense on furniture and equipment for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $44,200 and $11,400, respectively. Accumulated depreciation at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 was $133,100 and $84,200, respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

As required by ASC 350-30 - Intangibles — Goodwill and other, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future undiscounted 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 three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

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, 2018, the Company had $101,700 in capitalized software development costs. Amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $7,200 and $7,200, respectively. Amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $21,600 and $21,600. Accumulated amortization was $63,200 and $39,300 at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 respectively.

 

On November 13, 2017, the Company acquired customer relationship and tradename intangibles in connection with the Arcadian Services acquisition of $109,000 which were recorded at fair value and are being amortized over an estimated useful life of four years on a straight-line basis. Amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $6,800 and $0, respectively. Amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $17,000 and $0, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $17,000 and $0 at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

The expected amortization of the intangible assets, as of June 30, 2018, for each of the next five years is as follows:

 

      For the year ended
September 30,
 
2018 (for the remaining three months)     $ 16,600  
2019       51,600  
2020       29,400  
2021       29,400  
2022       3,500  
Total     $ 130,500  

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identified net assets of businesses acquired. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are measured at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

 

Goodwill was $1,386,800 and $0 as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

 

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company tests its goodwill each year on September 30th. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not record any Goodwill impairment.

 

Accrued Compensation

 

Accrued compensation consists of accrued vacation pay, accrued compensation granted by the Board but not paid, and accrued pay due to staff members.

 

Accrued compensation – related parties consists of accrued vacation pay, accrued bonuses granted by the Board but not paid for officers and directors.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents cash collected in advance of services being rendered but not earned as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. 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 $165,700 and $45,900 as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

 

Revenues

 

The Company recognizes revenue on services, in accordance with the ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, collection is considered to be reasonably assured and the services are delivered.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

The Company charges research and development expenses to operations as incurred.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company charges all advertising expenses to operations as incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 advertising expenses were $0 and $38,600, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 advertising expenses were $248,500 and $43,100, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For stock options issued to employees and directors we use the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating fair value at the date of grant. For stock options issued for services rendered by non-employees, we recognize compensation expense in accordance with the requirements of ASC 505-50, Equity, or ASC 505-50, as amended. Non-employee option grants that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the vesting period. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to performance, the value of these options, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, is determined, and compensation expense recognized or recovered during the period is adjusted accordingly. Since the fair market value of options granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future compensation expense is subject to adjustment until the common stock options or warrants are fully vested.

 

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.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into legislation. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Tax Cuts and Job Act on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for Fiscal 2018 and cannot be determined with certainty at this time because of a blended rate. Any impact against the Company’s gross deferred tax asset will be offset by a 100% valuation allowance, therefore the Company expects no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to review the components of the Tax Cuts and Job Act and related regulations and evaluate their impact to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended September 30, 2018.

 

As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, the Company has 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 U.S. Federal and California as our major tax jurisdictions. Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2013 through 2016 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2012 through 2016 California Franchise Tax Returns. 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. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent third-party equity ownership interests in the Company’s consolidated entities. The amount of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $332,200 and $404,500, respectively. 

 

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.

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, ASU, ASU 2014-9, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-9) and has subsequently issued a number of amendments to ASU 2014-9. 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 October 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 2014-9 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet selected the transition method.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, 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 2016-9, 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. The Company adopted the guidance on October 1, 2017 and chose to prospectively apply the guidance in its financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This guidance narrows the definition of a business. This standard provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance must be applied prospectively to transactions occurring within the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and prospectively applied ASU 2017-01 as required with no impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the goodwill carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and prospectively applied ASU 2017-04 as required with no impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-9, “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 2017-9 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 adopted the guidance on October 1, 2017 and there is no impact on the financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued a two-part ASU 2017-11, I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Down Round Features and II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 amends guidance in FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The amendments in Part I of ASU 2017-11 change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments in Part II of ASU 2017-11 re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. ASU 2017-11 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and retrospectively applied ASU 2017-11 as required with no impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. 

 

3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Accounts receivable, net, is as follows:

 

    June 30,     September 30,  
    2018     2017  
Accounts receivable   $ 141,100     $ 7,500  
Allowance for doubtful accounts     (3,700 )     (1,000 )
Accounts receivable, net   $ 137,400     $ 6,500  

 

4. LONG - TERM BORROWINGS AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE

 

Debt assumed from Arcadian Services

 

As a result of the acquisition of Arcadian Services, the Company guaranteed Arcadian Services’ then outstanding debt obligations totaling $700,000 owed to Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania (“BFTP”). The maturity date for the debt is September 30, 2021 and interest accrues at an 8% annual rate. Unpaid interest of $132,200 as of June 30, 2018 is classified as long-term in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet because interest is not due until maturity. The Company recorded the debt at its fair value as the result of a discount of $121,600 as of June 30, 2018 attributable to the difference between the market interest rate and the stated interest rate on the debt. Interest expense related to the accretion of debt discount for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $9,400 and $23,300, respectively.

 

A balloon payment of $700,000 plus interest will be made on the scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2021.

 

Other Notes Payable

 

Note Payable - finance company, principal is payable over thirty-six equal payments of $1,200 through May 8, 2018. Interest is payable monthly on the unpaid balance at 19% per annum. The outstanding balance was paid in full on May 8, 2018.

 

Loan payable to a vendor, principal payments of $5,000 per month, together with interest computed at 6% per annum. The outstanding balance was paid in full on May 8, 2018.

5. ACQUISITION

 

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Arcadian Services using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

 

As the Company finalizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months). Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives and the expected future cash flows and related discount rates, can materiality impact our results of operations. Significant inputs used for the model included the amount of cash flows, the expected period of the cash flows and the discount rates. The finalization of the purchase accounting assessment may result in a change in the fair value of the debt assumed and intangible assets, which may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

 

On November 13, 2017, the Company acquired Arcadian Services. The purchase price, including the value of the indebtedness and payables of Arcadian Services, is $1,339,600 based upon a deemed acquisition of all of the assets and liabilities of Arcadian Services, including the equity interests in Arcadian Services. The aggregate purchase price consists of (i) initial investment in Arcadian of $195,900 (ii) $317,000 of forgiveness of a note receivable with the primary member of Arcadian (iii) assumption by Arcadian Services of subordinated debt (“Arcadian Note”) with a fair value of $555,000, plus accrued interest of $96,700 (iv) $175,000 payment for the redemption and cancellation of two warrants to purchase equity interests in Arcadian Services. The Arcadian Note bears interest at an annual rate of 8% and matures on September 30, 2021.

 

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase consideration and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed for the acquisition of Arcadian Services made by the Company:

 

Assets acquired:      
Cash   $ 25,900  
Accounts receivable     57,100  
Other assets     24,000  
Intangibles     109,000  
Goodwill     1,386,800  
Total assets acquired   $ 1,602,800  
         
Liabilities assumed        
Accounts payable   $ 147,700  
Accrued other liabilities     108,700  
Notes payable     6,800  
Total liabilities assumed   $ 263,200  
         
Net assets acquired   $ 1,339,600  
         
Consideration paid:        
Initial investment in Arcadian Services     195,900  
Long-term debt     555,000  
Accrued interest     96,700  
Payment on warrant outstanding     175,000  
Forgiveness of loan in relation of acquisition     317,000  
Total consideration   $ 1,339,600  

 

14  

 

The weighted average useful life of all identified acquired intangible assets is 3.9 years. The useful lives for trade names and customer relationships are 1.0 years and 4.0 years. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and the estimated useful lives of one to four years. The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the distribution of the economic value of the identifiable intangible assets.

 

As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded $1,386,800 of goodwill. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the anticipated synergies from the acquisition and expanded market opportunities with respect to the integration of Arcadian Services’ products with the Company’s other solutions. The Company believes that the factors listed above support the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the purchase price paid.

 

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred transaction costs of $0 and $438,600 in connection with the Arcadian Services acquisition, which were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Aspire Capital Equity Credit Lines

 

On December 6, 2016, the Company, entered into the first common stock purchase agreement (the “First Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) which provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital was 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 First Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the First Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company maintained an effective registration statement registering the sale of the shares of Common Stock that were issued to Aspire under the First Purchase Agreement. Under the First 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 had 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 submitted a purchase notice to Aspire Capital in an amount equal to 50,000 shares, and the closing sale price of its Common Stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, the Company also had 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 was subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the period(s) used to compute the First Purchase Price. The Company could 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 First Purchase Agreement provided that the Company and Aspire Capital would not effect any sales under the First Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock was less than $0.50. There were no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the First Purchase Agreement, and the Company could control the timing and amount of sales of Common Stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital had no right to require any sales by the Company, but was obligated to make purchases from the Company as directed by the Company in accordance with the First Purchase Agreement. There were 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 First Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the First Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 80,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ First Commitment Shares”). The First Purchase Agreement was terminated and replaced by the Second Purchase Agreement defined below on May 15, 2018. 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 First Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company cannot request Aspire to purchase more than $100,000 per business day.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has issued purchase notices to Aspire Capital under the First Purchase Agreement to purchase an aggregate of 1,180,000 shares of common stock, at a per share price of $2.00, resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $2.4 million. The issuance of shares of common stock that were issued from time to time to Aspire Capital under the First Purchase Agreement were 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.

The Second Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital

 

On May 15, 2018, the Company, entered into a second common stock purchase agreement (the “Second Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital under substantially the same terms, conditions and limitations as the First Purchase Agreement which are: 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 Second Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the Second 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 Second Purchase Agreement. Under the Second 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 its Common Stock is equal to or 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 Second Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

 

The Second Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital will not effect any sales under the Second 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 Second 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 Second Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 2500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ Second Commitment Shares”). The Second 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 Second Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds from the Company receives under the Second Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company cannot request Aspire to purchase more than $300,000 per business day.

 

On June 11, 2018, Aspire Capital purchased 222,222 shares of Common Stock, at a per share price of $2.25, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $500,000. The issuance of shares of common stock that may be issued from time to time to Aspire Capital under the Second 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.

Expected Dividend Yield . The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Expected Life . The Company elected to utilize the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options to value stock option grants. Under this approach, the weighted-average expected life is presumed to be the average of the vesting term and the contractual term.

 

Expected Volatility. The expected volatility rate used to value stock option grants is based on the historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.

 

Risk-free Interest Rate . The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on U.S. Treasury bill instruments that had terms consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock option grants.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or such subsidiaries the assets of which constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (“Liquidation Event”), the holders of shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution in such Liquidation Event to the holders of any junior securities, including the Common Stock, by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Series A and Series A-1 Liquidation Preference for each outstanding share of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock then held by them. After the payment or setting apart of payment of the full preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Common Stock ratably on a per-share basis.

 

Consolidation; Merger.

Any securities to be delivered to the stockholders pursuant to a Deemed Liquidation Event will be valued at fair market value.

 

23  

 

Conversion .

Each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”), at any time and from time to time, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Upon a holder’s election to exercise its Conversion Right, each share of Series A Preferred Stock for which the Conversion Right is exercised shall be converted into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Purchase Price by the conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock at the time in effect. Series A-1 Preferred stock cannot be converted into Common Stock by an Investor if, as a result of such conversion, such Investor would beneficially own greater than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.Additionally, the Warrants were amended to provide that they would not be exercisable by an Investor if, following any such exercise, such Investor would beneficially own greater than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

In connection with the Financing, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investors, requiring the Company to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the preferred stock and the Warrants. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, holders of a majority of the registrable securities then outstanding (the “Majority Holders”) may by a written Demand Notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”) commencing six (6) months from the closing date, request the Company to effect the registration of all or part of the registrable securities owned by such Majority Holders and their respective affiliates on a Registration Statement on Form S-3. The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration and/or qualification to be complete as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days, after receipt of the Demand Notice.

 

The shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock were offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), set forth under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each purchaser represented that it is an accredited investor and that it acquired the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of such securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws. 

 

8. 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.

 

As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, the Company has 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 U.S. Federal and California as our major tax jurisdictions. Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2014 through 2016 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2013 through 2016 California Franchise Tax Returns. 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. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the US Federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company’s Federal net deferred tax assets currently are in a full valuation allowance position and will continue to be in a full valuation allowance position, therefore the rate reduction does not affect the net deferred Federal tax asset balance. Additionally, for the Company’s state net deferred tax asset balance, the state deferred rate has been determined at the full amount without a reduction for the Federal benefit (no benefit recognized in a full valuation allowance), and therefore the state deferred rate and net deferred tax asset balances would not change with the reduction in the Federal tax rate.

 

24  

 

Deferred taxes have been recorded on a net basis in the accompanying balance sheet. The Act reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a $6.2 million tax expense representing the detriment of remeasuring its U.S. deferred tax assets at the lower 21% statutory tax rate, as well as a corresponding full valuation allowance for the same amount resulting in no impact to our Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had gross Federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $51.5 million or $10.8 million tax effected and State gross net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $33.9 million or $2.0 million tax effected, both tax effected. Both the Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022 and 2018 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.

10. LOSS PER SHARE

 

In accordance with ASC 260-10, 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has excluded all common equivalent shares from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as such securities are anti-dilutive.

Overview

 

MYnd Analytics, Inc. (the “Company” or “MYnd”) employs a clinically validated scalable technology platform to support personalized care for mental health patients. The Company utilizes its patented machine learning, artificial intelligence, data analytics platform for the delivery of telebehavioral health services and its PEER predictive analytics product offering. On November 13, 2017, the Company acquired Arcadian Telepsychiatry Services LLC (“Arcadian Services”), which manages the delivery of telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health services through a nationwide network of licensed and credentialed psychiatrists, psychologists and master’s-level therapists. The Company is commercializing its PEER predictive analytics tool to help physicians reduce trial and error treatment in mental health. MYnd’s patented, clinically validated technology platform (“PEER Online”) utilizes complex algorithms to analyze electroencephalograms (“EEGs”) to generate Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry (“PEER”) Reports to predict individual responses to a range of medications prescribed for the treatment of behavioral disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and other non-psychotic disorders.

 

Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirement

 

On February 23, 2018, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company was not compliant with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market because the Company's stockholders' equity, as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2017, was below the required minimum of $2.5 million. Further, as of February 22, 2018, the Company did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. This notice of noncompliance has had no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

  

On May 9, 2018, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq granting the Company an extension through August 22, 2018 to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b). As of June 30, 2018, the Company had stockholders' equity in excess of $2.5 million and believes that it continues to be in compliance through the current date. The Company achieved compliance through a variety of factors, including through improved revenue, certain cost cutting measures and, primarily, through the sale of securities under the common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital. Although the Company has regained compliance at June 30, 2018, it must also demonstrate compliance at and as of its fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to demonstrate compliance at such date.

   

Financial Operations Overview

 

Revenues

 

Our neurometric services revenues are derived from the sale of PEER Reports to physicians. Physicians are generally billed upon delivery of a PEER Report. The list price of our PEER Reports to physicians is $400 per report which excludes the cost of conducting the EEG. The Company also derives revenue from its subsidiary Arcadian Services who manages the delivery of telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health services which are delivered directly to patients.

 

29  

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues are for services and represent the cost of direct labor, the costs associated with external processing, analysis and consulting services necessary to generate the revenues.

 

Research and Product Development

 

Research and product development expenses are associated with our neurometric and telepsychiatry services and primarily represent costs incurred to design and conduct clinical studies, to recruit patients into the studies, to add data to our database, to improve analytical techniques and advance application of the methodology. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

For our neurometric and telepsychiatry services, our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel, media, support and travel costs to inform user organizations and consumers of our products and services. Additional marketing expenses are the costs of advertising, educating physicians, laboratory personnel, other healthcare professionals regarding our products and services.

 

General and Administrative

 

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel, occupancy, legal, audit, consulting and administrative support costs.

 

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 consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these 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.

 

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report 10–K filed with the SEC on December 29, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

 

Since our inception, we have never been profitable and we have generated significant losses. The Company has a limited operating history and its operations are subject to certain problems, expenses, difficulties, delays, complications, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in the operation of a business with a limited operating history. These risks include the ability to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, if at all, the failure to develop or supply technology or services to meet the demands of the marketplace, the failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, competition within the industry, government regulation and the general strength of regional and national economies.

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $83.6 million compared to our accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2017, of approximately $75.6 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. The Company continues to explore additional sources of capital but there is substantial doubt as to whether any financing arrangement will be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company to permit it to continue operations. 

 

38  

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had $2.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital surplus of approximately $1.7 million. This is compared to our cash position of $5.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and working capital of $4.1 million.

 

The Company has been funded through multiple rounds of private placements, primarily from members of our Board or our affiliates, one public offering of common stock and recently, through our facility with Aspire Capital.

 

On March 29, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,050,000 units for $2.00 per Unit, each consisting of one share of newly-designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and one Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share for $2.34 per share in a private placement to three affiliates of the Company, for gross proceeds of $2.1 million. The private placement closed on March 29, 2018. The closing price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on March 29, 2018 was $1.19 per share.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed one financing transaction and drew down on its Equity Line of Credit Agreements with Aspire Capital, resulting in total cash proceeds of $5.0 million. As a result of the receipt of additional capital, the Company significantly reduced its outstanding accounts payable. In addition, the Company took several steps to reduce its expenses, including but not limited to reducing certain personnel.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has issued purchase notices to Aspire Capital to purchase 1.4 million shares of common stock, at a per share price of $2.00, resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $2.86 million.

 

Working Capital, Going Concern, Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $2.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $5.4 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017.

 

Our recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s assessment of substantial doubt of going concern 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. If we are unable to continue to identify sources of capital, we may be required to limit our activities, to terminate programs or terminate operations temporarily or permanently.

 

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;

 

whether we can receive sufficient business revenues from Arcadian Services to adequately cover our costs;

 

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

 

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;

 

if we expand our business by acquiring or investing in complimentary businesses; and

 

our continuing access to funding from Aspire Capital.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed one financing transaction and drew down on its Equity Line of Credit with Aspire, resulting in total cash proceeds of $5.0 million. As a result of the receipt of additional capital, the Company significantly reduced its outstanding accounts payable. In addition, the Company took several steps to reduce its expenses, including but not limited to reducing certain personnel.

Private Placement Transactions

 

The Aspire Capital Equity Credit Lines

 

On December 6, 2016, the Company, entered into the First Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital which provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital was 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 First Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the First Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the First Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 80,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity”, Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

 

Under the First Purchase Agreement, after the SEC declared effective the registration statement referred to above, on any trading day selected by the Company on which the closing sale price of its Common Stock was equal or greater than $0.50 per share, the Company had 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.

 

The Company had 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 was generally 95% of the volume-weighted average price for Common Stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.

 

41  

 

The purchase price was to 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 could 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 would not effect any sales under the First Purchase Agreement on any purchase day selected where the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock was less than $0.50. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the First Purchase Agreement, and the Company could control the timing and amount of sales of Common Stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital had no right to require any sales by the Company, but was obligated to make purchases from the Company as directed by the Company in accordance with the First Purchase Agreement. There were 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 First Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the First Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 80,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ First Commitment Shares”). The First Purchase Agreement was terminated and replace by the Second Purchase Agreement, defined below on May 15, 2018. Aspire Capital had 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 First Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds from the Company receives under the First Purchase Agreement were expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

On May 15, 2018 the Company, entered into the Second Purchase Agreement with 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 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock ( the “Second Commitment Shares”). See Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity, Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

 

Under the Second Purchase Agreement, after the SEC declared effective the registration statement referred to above, on any trading day selected by the Company on which the closing sale price of its Common Stock is equal 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.

 

The Company 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 Second Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital will not effect any sales under the Purchase Agreement on any purchase day selected 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 Second Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Second Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Second Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 250,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”). The Second 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 Second Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds from the Company receives under the Second Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

42  

 

On June 11, 2018, Aspire Capital purchased 222,222 shares of Common Stock, at a per share price of $2.25, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $500,000.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has issued purchase notices to Aspire Capital under the First Purchase Agreement to purchase 1,180,000 shares of common stock, at a per share price of $2.00, resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $2.4 million.

 

The Company has issued purchase notices under the Equity Line of Credit to Aspire Capital for the total number of shares subject to the registration statement covering the resale of shares under the First Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the Company is considering the most efficient and beneficial course of action to continue access to capital financing, including but not limited to an Aspire Equity Line of Credit.

On March 29, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,050,000 units for $2.00 per Unit, each consisting of one share of newly-designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and one Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share for $2.34 per share in a private placement to three affiliates of the Company, for gross proceeds of $2.1 million (“the Financing”).

Additionally, the Warrants were amended to provide that they would not be exercisable by an Investor if, following any such exercise, such Investor would beneficially own greater than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Shares of the Company’s Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cash dividends at the rate of five percent (5.00%) of the Original Series A and Series A-1 Issue Price per annum, payable out of funds legally available therefor.

The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years for an exercise price of $2.34. The exercise price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. The Warrants may not be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

In connection with the Financing, the Company also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the investors, requiring the Company to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the preferred stock and the Warrants. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Majority Holders may by a written Demand Notice to the Company commencing six (6) months from the closing date, request the Company to effect the registration of all or part of the registrable securities owned by such Majority Holders and their respective affiliates on a Registration Statement on Form S-3. The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration and/or qualification to be complete as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days, after receipt of the Demand Notice.

 

43  

 

The shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock were offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, set forth under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each purchaser represented that it is an accredited investor and that it acquired the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Warrants for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of such securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws.

 

The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Financing for general corporate purposes.

 

These private placements were made pursuant to an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D thereunder.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2018, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018.

 

We have identified a material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures. The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. We do not have adequate review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions. The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported. The failure to adequately review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically feasible.

 

Based on the foregoing material weaknesses, we have determined that, as of June 30, 2018, our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective. We are developing a remediation plan outlining the steps and resources necessary to address each material weakness. Additionally, we continue to add employees and consultants to address these issues and we will continue to broaden the scope of our accounting and realign responsibilities in our financial and accounting review functions. The Company does not believe that the material weakness has resulted in any material inaccuracies in the financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, or any prior periods.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 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, 2017.

 

The risk factor capitioned “ If we cannot continue to satisfy NASDAQ’s continuing listing criteria, NASDAQ may subsequently delist our Common Stock, particularity given recent notice that our stockholder equity is below the required level” is hereby amended as follows:

 

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. We may choose to raise additional capital in order to increase our stockholders’ equity in order to meet the NASDAQ continued listing standards. Any additional equity financings may be financially dilutive to, and will be dilutive from an ownership perspective to our stockholders, and such dilution may be significant based upon the size of such financing. Additionally, we cannot assure that such funding will be available on a timely basis, in needed quantities, or on terms favorable to us, if at all.

 

On February 23, 2018, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not compliant with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market because the Company’s stockholders’ equity, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2017, was below the required minimum of $2.5 million. Further, as of February 22, 2018, the Company did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. This notice of noncompliance has had no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

On May 9, 2018, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq granting the Company an extension through August 22, 2018 to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b). As of June 30, 2018, the Company had stockholders' equity in excess of $2.5 million and believes that it continues to be in compliance through the current date. Although the Company has regained compliance at June 30, 2018, it must also demonstrate compliance at and as of its fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to demonstrate compliance at such date or thereafter.

   

Additional risk factor: There may be adverse consequences if the independent contractor status of Arcadian’s providers is successfully characterized as employee status.

 

We have independent contractor relationships with our providers rather than employee relationships. An independent contractor is generally distinguished from an employee by his or her degree of autonomy and independence in providing services. Our providers must be afforded independence over their actions and judgment while providing medical services. If a federal or state authority or court enacts legislation or adopts regulations or adopts an interpretation that changes the manner in which employees and independent contractors are classified or makes any adverse determination with respect to some or all of our independent contractors, we could incur significant costs in complying with such laws, regulations or interpretations, including, in respect of tax withholding, social security payments and recordkeeping, or we could be held liable for the actions of such independent contractors. As a result, we could be required to modify our business model. All of the above, individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there is the risk that we may be subject to significant monetary liabilities arising from fines or judgments as a result of any such actual or alleged non-compliance with federal, state or local tax or employment laws.
