Independent Auditors’ Report
Board of Directors and Stockholders
DILIsym Services, Inc.
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of DILIsym Services, Inc., which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DILIsym Services, Inc., as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. | Organization and Description of Business |
Business Activity
DILIsym Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 29, 2014 (inception), under the laws of Delaware. The DILI-sim Initiative is a consortium of pharmaceutical and other life science companies centered around and led by the Company. The DILI-sim Initiative sponsors the development and application of DILIsym® software, a mechanistic model of drug induced liver injury (DILI). The goals of the DILI-sim Initiative include developing the DILIsym® software and advancing the knowledge of DILI for the benefit of the scientific community and the public at-large. DILIsym® will be used during drug development, to provide enhanced understanding of potential DILI hazards posed by individual molecules, and to provide deeper insight into the mechanisms responsible for observed DILI responses at various stages of the development process. The development plans for DILIsym® are shaped by the DILI-sim Initiative members at regularly held meetings. Research topics are discussed, along with desired model additions and improvements. DILI-sim engages with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other academic and non-profit groups to ensure that the model includes the most recent advances related to DILI. Experiments are also undertaken at the IDSS and with collaborators as key unanswered questions related to DILI arise throughout the modeling process.
The Company spun out from the dissolution of The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences (the “Hamner”) and began operations on July 1, 2015, although these services were provided under the Hamner since January 2011.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with a high credit quality financial institution.
6 |
DILIsym Services, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. At December 31, 2016, two customers accounted for 64% and 35% of accounts receivables, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016, three customers accounted for 18%, 13%, and 11% of total revenue, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Receivables are typically due within 30 days. Accounts outstanding for longer than the payment terms are considered past due. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses its need for an allowance for potential losses in the collection of its receivables. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2016.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of computer equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method. Computer equipment has useful lives of three years.
Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
The carrying values of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value cannot be recovered from the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. When the book value of an asset exceeds the associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, there was no impairment at December 31, 2016.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include all direct costs related to the development of the Company's technology, including salaries and related benefits of personnel, fees paid to consultants, share-based compensation and license fees. Research and development costs during the year ended December 31, 2016 were $1,426,566.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
Software development costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, “Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed”. Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility and is discontinued when the product is available for sale.
7 |
DILIsym Services, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment for recoverability of capitalized software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Capitalized software development costs are comprised primarily of salaries and direct payroll-related costs and the purchase of existing software to be used in our software products.
Once a product's technological feasibility has been established, the software development costs are then capitalized until the associated product is available for general release. Once the product is available for general release to customers, these capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the product or enhancement. For the year ended December 31, 2016, capitalized software development costs were $92,744.
Amortization of capitalized software development costs is calculated on a product-by-product basis on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the products (not to exceed one year). Amortization of software development costs amounted to $46,372 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The unamortized portion of $46,372 will be recognized over the first six months of the subsequent year. We expect future amortization expense to vary due to increases in capitalized computer software development costs.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues related to software licenses and software maintenance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 985-605, “Software - Revenue Recognition”. Software product revenue is recorded when the following conditions are met: 1) evidence of arrangement exists, 2) delivery has been made, 3) the amount is fixed, and 4) collectability is probable. Post-contract customer support ("PCS") obligations are insignificant; therefore, revenue for PCS is recognized at the same time as the licensing fee, and the costs of providing such support services are accrued and amortized over the obligation period.
The Company earns revenue from software subscriptions, post-contract customer support and professional services. The Company's deliverables typically consist of the sale of a 3-year subscription commitment (typically invoiced yearly) and 12-month service agreements. Revenues are recognized for the identified separate accounting units based on achievement of vendor specific objective evidence of fair value of the delivered element (the service agreement). Deferred revenue is recorded at the time of sale for subscriptions and service agreements and are amortized over the term of the service agreement. The Company allocates the total professional service agreement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables, determined based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company reported zero instances where a consortium member ended their subscription commitment early.
Share-based Compensation
Employees
Measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees are based on estimated grant-date fair values. The expense associated with share-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award, which is generally four years.
Non-employees
Share-based compensation granted to non-employees requires compensation be recorded each reporting period for changes in the fair value of the Company's stock until the measurement date. The measurement date is generally considered to be the date that options are fully vested based on the arrangement.
8 |
DILIsym Services, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
The Company recorded employee share-based compensation of $720, for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company recorded non-employee share-based compensation of $719 for the year ended December 31, 2016. These amounts are recorded in various components of operating expenses in the accompanying statement of income.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. The fair value of each option grant is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016:
Estimated dividend yield | 0% | |
Expected stock price volatility range | 42.6% | |
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | 1.15-1.42% | |
Expected life of options (in years) | 6.25 |
The dividend yield rate is zero because the Company neither currently pays dividends nor intends to do so during the expected option term. The expected stock price volatility is estimated based on the actual volatility of comparable public companies over the expected term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve during the expected life of the option. The expected life represents the average time the options that vest are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of employee stock options is based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term and the expected term for share-based compensation granted to non-employees is the contractual life.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company follows the uncertain tax position provisions of U.S. GAAP, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. U.S. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard will eliminate the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for years beginning after December 15, 2016. The revenue recognition standard is required to be applied retrospectively, including any combination of practical expedients as allowed in the standard. We are evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to our financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

DILIsym Services, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2015-17 change the requirements for the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. Currently, GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-17 because it reduced complexity while maintaining the usefulness of the information.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in "Leases (Topic 840)" and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The ASU is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions that include - the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-09. The adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements. Actual income tax benefit differs from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, primarily as a result of state income taxes, permanent income tax differences, and utilized credits. As of December 31, 2016, the company has no net operating loss or credit carryforwards available to offset future tax expense.
Deferred income taxes are provided for estimated tax effects of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of recognized assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and accordingly, no accrued interest and penalties.
8. | Commitments and Contingencies |

Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present the pro forma consolidated balance sheet and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of Simulations Plus, Inc. (“SIMPLUS”) and DILIsym Services Inc. (“DILIsym”), after giving effect to the acquisition of DILIsym and adjustments described in the following footnotes, and are intended to reflect the impact of this acquisition on SIMPLUS on a pro forma basis.
On June 1, 2017, Simulations Plus, Inc. consummated the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of DILIsym Services, Inc. pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) and DILIsym became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company: (1) paid to the DILIsym Shareholders Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) payable at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) subject to certain adjustments and holdbacks as provided in the Agreement and as more fully described below; and (2) will pay to the DILIsym Shareholders certain earn-out payments, to be measured by the earnings of DILIsym before income taxes, payable following the Closing, as more particularly described in the Agreement and as more fully described below (the “Earn-out Payments”):
On June 1, 2017, the Company paid the DILIsym Shareholders total cash consideration of $4,515,982; which such amount included $515,982 in working capital left in DILIsym’s accounts in excess of the amount required under the Agreement,
At the holdback release date, eighteen months from the Closing and subject to any offsets, the Company will pay potentially up to $1,000,000 of holdback consideration; and
The Company may pay up to an additional $5,000,000 in Earn-out Consideration Payments over the 3 years following the Closing if and when such Earn-out Payments become due and payable, and subject to certain offsets as provided in the Agreement, according to the Agreement.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects the acquisition of DILIsym as if it had been consummated on May 31, 2017 and includes pro forma adjustments for preliminary valuations by SIMPLUS management of certain tangible and intangible assets as of the acquisition date of June 1, 2017. These adjustments are subject to further revision upon finalization of the transaction, the related intangible asset valuations and fair value determinations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 and for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 combines SIMPLUS’s historical results for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 and the nine months ended May 31, 2017 with DILIsym’s historical results for the same periods. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations gives effect to the acquisition as if it had been consummated on September 1, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only. They do not purport to represent what SIMPLUS’s consolidated results of operations and financial position would have been had the transaction actually occurred as of the dates indicated, and they do not purport to project SIMPLUS’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Pro Forma Adjustments
Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase price and to reflect the amounts related to DILIsym’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities at an amount equal to the preliminary estimate of their fair values. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition and (2) factually supportable and reasonable under the circumstances. There are no events that are expected to have a continuing impact and therefore, no adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations were made in that regard.
1 |
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the acquisition are based upon the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805 “Business Combinations” and the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that SIMPLUS believes are reasonable under the circumstances. A final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may differ materially from the preliminary estimates. This final valuation will be based on the actual fair values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed of DILIsym that are acquired as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The final valuation may change the purchase price allocation, which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

SIMULATIONS PLUS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of SIMPLUS.
2. Acquisition of DILIsym
On June 1, 2017, DILIsym, a private company provider of mechanistic modeling and simulation services and software to evaluate Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) and hepatotoxic risk for compounds for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, became a wholly owned subsidiary of SIMPLUS pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated May 1, 2017 (the “Agreement”), by and among SIMPLUS, DILIsym Services, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“DILIsym”), the shareholders of DILIsym (the “DILIsym Shareholders”) and Brett A.

3. Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of SIMPLUS and DILIsym, after giving effect to the DILIsym acquisition and adjustments described in the following footnotes, and are intended to reflect the impact of this acquisition on SIMPLUS on a pro forma basis.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects the acquisition of DILIsym as if it had been consummated on May 31, 2017 and includes pro forma adjustments for preliminary valuations by SIMPLUS management of certain tangible and intangible assets as of the acquisition date of June 1, 2017. These adjustments are subject to further revision upon finalization of the fair value determinations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 and the nine months ended May 31, 2017 combines SIMPLUS’s historical results for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 and the nine months ended May 31, 2016 with DILIsym historical results for the same periods. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations gives effect to the acquisition as if it had taken place on September 1, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only.
4. Pro Forma Adjustments
Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase price and to reflect amounts related to DILIsym’s net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities at an amount equal to the preliminary estimate of their fair values. The intangible assets identified were customer lists, non-compete agreements, and the trade name valued at $1,900,000, $80,000 and $860,000, respectively. The trade name is capitalized on the balance sheet until it is either abandoned or written off.
There were no significant intercompany balances or transactions between SIMPLUS and DILIsym at the dates and for the period of these pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include any adjustments for liabilities that will result from integration activities related to the DILIsym acquisition. Additional assets or liabilities may be recorded that could affect amounts in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. During the measurement period, any such adjustments to provisional amounts would increase or decrease goodwill. Adjustments that occur after the end of the measurement period will be recognized in the post-combination current period operations.

5. Pro Forma Earnings per Share

6. Transaction Costs
For the nine months ended May 31, 2017, transaction costs incurred related to the acquisition of DILIsym totaled $377,889; SIMPLUS and DILIsym each incurred transaction costs of $260,837 and $117,052, respectively. These costs have been recorded as a pro forma adjustment to reduce general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2017. $374,000 of transaction costs were incurred in the period between June 1, 2017 and July 31, 2017, all of which were SIMPLUS expenses. The combined company expects to incur approximately $800,000 in direct transaction costs in connection with the acquisition. The remaining $20,000 will be incurred and expensed in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018.
The combined company may incur additional one-time charges to operations that SIMPLUS cannot reasonably estimate, in the quarter in which the acquisition is completed or the following quarters, to reflect costs associated with integrating the two businesses. In addition, the combined company may incur additional charges relating to the transaction in subsequent periods, which could have a material impact on the combined company’s financial position or results of operations.
