CEREBAIN BIOTECH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Description of Business

 

Cerebain Biotech Corp. (Formerly Discount Dental Materials, Inc.) (“Cerebain Biotech”), was incorporated on December 18, 2007 under the laws of Nevada. The Company is a smaller reporting biomedical company and through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cerebain Operating, Inc. (Formerly Cerebain Biotech Corp.), the Company’s business revolves around the discovery of products for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease utilizing Omentum. The Company plans to produce products that will include both a medical device solution as well as a synthetic drug solution.

 

Cerebain Operating, Inc. was incorporated on February 22, 2010, in the State of Nevada.

 

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 has been derived from audited statements and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2016 included on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2016.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The Company operates in one segment in accordance with accounting guidance Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Our Principal Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker as defined by FASB ASC Topic 280.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27,000,000 and $11,500,000 at March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and had a net loss of approximately $15,500,000 and $1,600,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $446,000 and $394,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, with no revenue earned since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to commence operations, and generate revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: useful lives and residual values of long-lived assets, the valuation of equity instruments and the valuation of warrants and options. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cerebain Biotech Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cerebain Operating, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Company”). There are no material intercompany transactions.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior fiscal year amounts or balances to conform to the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year, which did not have any impact to consolidated net loss or stockholder’s deficit amounts previously reported.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations were approximately $1,600 and $15,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and approximately $10,000 and $51,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development costs charged to operations were approximately $59,000 and $0 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and approximately $190,000 and $0 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are included in research and development costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In exchange, the Company modified the $1,475,000 convertible note payable issued in June 2015, the $112,000 note payable issued in December 2015, accounts payable related to accrued interest of approximately $293,000, and received cash of $200,000. The amended and consolidated note payable matures February 2018, accrues interest at 5% per annum, and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share, but only if such conversion would not cause the noteholder to own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock, and contains piggyback registration rights.

 

In connection with the $2,100,000 convertible note payable, the Company determined the embedded conversion feature does not meet the criteria in ASC 470-50-40-10 or 470-20-25, and the issuance of the convertible promissory note payable is considered a modification, and not an extinguishment that would require the recognition of a gain or loss.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) computations.

 

The total number of potential additional dilutive options and warrants outstanding was approximately 2.6 million and 2.2 million for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, the convertible notes convert at an exercise price of between $0.15 and $5.00 per share of common stock representing approximately 17.9 million shares. The options, warrants and shares underlying the convertible note were considered for the dilutive calculation but in periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 respectively, because it is not presently known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforwards.

 

At March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $27,000,000 in Federal and State tax loss carryforwards that can be utilized in future periods to reduce taxable income, and begin to expire in 2030. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the future utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

DISCLAIMER REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, which are not statements of historical fact, are what are known as "forward-looking statements," which are basically statements about the future. For that reason, these statements involve risk and uncertainty since no one can accurately predict the future. Words such as "plans," "intends," "hopes," "seeks," "anticipates," "expects," and the like, often identify such forward looking statements, but are not the only indication that a statement is a forward-looking statement. Such forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans and objectives with respect to our present and future operations, and statements which express or imply that such present and future operations will or may produce revenues, income or profits. These and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we base these forward-looking statements on our expectations, assumptions, and projections about future events, actual events and results may differ materially, and our expectations, assumptions, and projections may prove to be inaccurate. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing.

 

Business Overview

 

We were incorporated on December 18, 2007, in the State of Nevada. We are a smaller reporting biomedical company and through our wholly owned subsidiary, Cerebain Operating, Inc. (“Cerebain”), our business involves the discovery of products for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease utilizing Omentum. Under our current plan, our products will include both a medical device solution as well as a synthetic drug solution.

 

On January 17, 2012, the holders of a majority of our common stock entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Cerebain Operating, Inc., a Nevada corporation, under which Cerebain Operating, Inc. agreed to purchase an aggregate of 380,000 shares of our common stock from those shareholders in exchange for $296,000. These shares represented approximately 90% of our outstanding common stock at the time of the transaction (after taking into account the cancellation of 600,000 shares of our common stock by R. Douglas Barton under the Spinoff Agreement as discussed herein). The transaction closed February 9, 2012. Concurrently with the close of the transaction, we closed a transaction with the shareholders of Cerebain whereby we issued 455,680 shares of our common stock in exchange for 22,784,000 shares of Cerebain’s common stock, which represented 100% of Cerebain’s outstanding common stock. In addition, concurrent with these two transactions, we closed a transaction with our primary shareholder, Mr. R. Douglas Barton, whereby we sold all of our then-existing assets to Mr. Barton in exchange for Mr. Barton assuming all of our then-existing liabilities, as well as the return of 600,000 shares of our common stock. The shares were returned by Mr. Barton and were cancelled on our books on February 9, 2012.

 

As a result of these transactions: (i) Cerebain Operating, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary, (ii) all of our officers and one of our directors resigned immediately, and we appointed one new director and retained new executive officers; and (iii) we changed our business focus from one selling disposable dental supply products at discount prices over the Internet to one focusing on researching, developing, and testing medicinal treatments utilizing Omentum under a patent Cerebain licenses from Dr. Surinder Singh Saini, MD.

 

On April 15, 2014, we completed the solicitation of votes of stockholders. A majority of our shareholders voted to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Cerebain Biotech Corp. As a result of this action, we changed the name of our wholly-owned subsidiary to Cerebain Operating Inc. In addition, a majority of our shareholders voted to amend our Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 and approved the 2014 Cerebain Biotech Corp. Omnibus Stock Grant and Option Plan. All share and per share information was retroactively adjusted at that time to reflect the reverse split of our common stock.

Our only operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cerebain Operating, Inc. The term “we” as used throughout this document refers to Cerebain Biotech Corp. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cerebain Operating, Inc

 

In accordance with our current business plan the testing, research and development of both a medical device solution as well as a synthetic drug solution are underway, and we have contracted with certain third party companies to research, develop, and test certain products that could be used to treat dementia utilizing Omentum. We have also contracted with various individuals to facilitate the introduction of the company to medical device testing organizations in overseas locations including Poland, China and Uzbekistan for the purpose of testing our medicinal treatments utilizing Omentum. Our management anticipates that we may form subsidiaries and joint ventures to develop different drugs based on the intellectual property. Although we have contracted with a firm to research, develop and test products that could be used to treat dementia utilizing Omentum, in order to fully execute on that agreement, as well as hire one or more firms to research, develop and test medicinal treatments utilizing Omentum, we will need to raise additional funds. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds. There can also be no assurance that further research and development will validate and support the results of our preliminary research and studies, or that the necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained or that we will be able to develop commercially viable products on the basis of our technologies.

On June 10, 2010, our subsidiary, Cerebain Operating, Inc., entered into a Patent License Agreement under which it acquired the exclusive rights to certain intellectual property related to using Omentum for treating dementia conditions. Under the agreement, we paid rights fees of $50,000 to Dr. Saini, and issued Dr. Saini 825,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $6,600 (based on the fair market value on the date of grant) restricted in accordance with Rule 144. In addition, Dr. Saini has the option to participate in the sale of equity by us in the future, up to ten percent (10%) of the money raised, in exchange for the applicable number of his shares.

 

The Patent License agreement provides for a royalty payment of six (6) percent of the value of the net sales, as defined, generated from the sale of licensed products. The agreement also provides for yearly minimum royalty payments of $50,000 for the fourth (June 2014), fifth (June 2015), and sixth (June 2016) anniversary of the date of the agreement, and a yearly minimum royalty payment of $100,000 for each year thereafter during the term of the agreement. We have recognized costs associated with the patent rights for $137,500 in accounts payable for the patent rights and are currently in arrears and in discussions to renegotiate the terms of the agreement. The term of the agreement shall continue until the patent in the intellectual property expires, unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the agreement, as defined.

 

The patent will have an estimated useful life of 20 years based on the term of the patent. Amortization of the patent will begin when the patent is issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and put in use.

 

Legal fees pertaining to the patent are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. Legal fees charged to operations were approximately $1,300 and $1,700 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and approximately $5,000 and $2,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

We recognized a patent royalty expense of approximately $25,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to $12,500 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, and approximately $75,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to $137,500 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016. The accrued payable of $225,000 pertaining to the patent royalty expense at March 31, 2017 is included in related party payables.

Overview of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease

 

Dementia (taken from Latin, originally meaning "madness") is generally referred to as a serious loss and/or decline of human brain function. The areas of brain function affected by dementia include memory, attention, language, problem solving and emotion. Dementia is generally considered as a progressive and non-reversible condition. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is an age-related, non-reversible brain disorder that develops over a period of years. Initially, people experience memory loss and confusion, which may be mistaken for the kinds of memory changes that are sometimes associated with normal aging. However, the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease gradually lead to behavior and personality changes, a decline in cognitive abilities such as decision making and language skills, and problems recognizing family and friends. Alzheimer’s disease ultimately leads to a severe loss of mental functions. These losses are related to the worsening breakdown of the connections between certain neurons in the brain responsible for memory and learning. Neurons can’t survive when they lose their connections to other neurons. As neurons die throughout the brain, the affected regions begin to atrophy, or shrink. By the final stage of Alzheimer’s disease, damage is widespread and brain tissue has shrunk significantly.

 

Causes

 

Many scientists generally accept that one or more of the following mechanisms are responsible for dementia:

 

 

1) accumulation of toxic materials in brain cells, which leads to death of the cells;

 

2) reduction of certain biological factors (e.g. Acetylcholine or ACh) in a brain; and

 

3) loss or reduction of blood flow in the brain.

 

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, are the most common causes of dementia. Dementia can also be due to a stroke. In most circumstances, the changes in the brain that are causing dementia cannot be controlled or reversed.

 

Statistics

 

· Affected population worldwide

 

According to the Alzheimer’s Association 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures, an estimated 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, including approximately 200,000 individuals younger than age 65 who have younger-onset Alzheimer's. By 2050, it is estimated that up to 16 million Americans will have the disease. Almost two-thirds, 3.3 million, of American seniors living with Alzheimer's are women. By 2025, it is estimated that 20 states will see a 35 percent or greater growth in the number of people with Alzheimer’s. Someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s every 66 seconds. In 2050, it is predicted that someone in the United States will develop the disease every 33 seconds.

 

In addition, the Alzheimer’s Association stated Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States and the 5th leading cause of death for those aged 65 and older. In 2013, over 84,000 Americans officially died from Alzheimer’s; in 2016, an estimated 700,000 people will die with Alzheimer’s, meaning they will die after having developed the disease. Deaths from Alzheimer increased 71 percent from 2000 to 2013, while deaths from other major diseases (including heart disease, stroke, breast and prostate cancer, and HIVAIDS) decreased. Alzheimer’s is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed.

 

According to the 2015 World Alzheimer Report, in 2015 about 46.8 million people had dementia worldwide. The report stated that this figure is likely to nearly double every 20 years, to nearly 74.7 million in 2030 and 131.5 million in 2050. For 2015, they estimate over 9.9 million new cases of dementia each year worldwide, implying one new case every 3.2 seconds. The regional distribution of new dementia cases is 4.9 million (49% of the total) in Asia, 2.5 million (25%) in Europe, 1.7 million (18%) in the Americas, and 0.8 million (8%) in Africa.

 

· Cost

 

According to the Alzheimer’s Association 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures, unpaid caregivers are primarily immediate family members, but they may be other relatives and friends. In 2015, 15.9 million family and friends provided an estimated 18.1 billion hours of unpaid care, a contribution to the nation valued at over $221.3 billion. Nearly half of care contributors cut back on their own expenses (including food, transportation and medical care) to pay for dementia-related care of a family member or friend. Care contributors are 28 percent more likely than other adults to eat less or go hungry because they cannot afford to pay for food. One in five care contributors cut back on their own doctor visits because of their care responsibilities. And, among caregivers, 74 percent report they are “somewhat” to “very” concerned about maintaining their own health since becoming a caregiver. On average care contributors lose over $15,000 in annual income as a result of reducing or quitting work to meet the demand of caregiving.

Table of Contents

 

According to the 2015 World Alzheimer Report, the global cost of care for dementia will likely exceed $818 billion in 2015, or 1.09 percent of the world's gross domestic product (GDP). These costs include those attributed to informal care from family member or others, direct social care from professional care givers, and direct medical bills. About 70% of these costs occur in Western Europe and North America. Such costs will continue to increase dramatically as the affected population of dementia increases.

 

· Cost to Nation

 

According to the Alzheimer’s Association 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures, Alzheimer’s disease is the most expensive condition in the nation. In 2016, the direct costs to American society of caring for those with Alzheimer's will total an estimated $236 billion, with just under half of the costs borne by Medicare. Nearly one in every five Medicare dollars is spent on people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. In 2050, it is estimated it will be one in every three dollars. The average per-person Medicare spending for those with Alzheimer's and other dementias is three times higher than for those without these conditions. The average per-person Medicaid spending for seniors with Alzheimer's and other dementias is 19 times higher than average per-person Medicaid spending for all other seniors. Unless something is done, in 2050, Alzheimer’s will cost over $1.1 trillion (in 2016 dollars). Costs to Medicare will increase over 365 percent to $589 billion.

 

Current Approaches to Treating Dementia

 

Currently, there is no cure for dementia. There are a number of prescription drugs that target those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, however those drugs primarily relieve some of the disease mechanisms and are often used early in the course of the disease; however, their effects in long-term progression of the disease condition are still unclear. A majority of management of dementia generally focuses on providing emotional and physical support to a patient during the progression of the disease from caregivers or in facilities. While such support is important and necessary to a patient, it is irrelevant to treatment of the disease. Accordingly, an effective method of treatment which may be able to delay the progression of the disease and/or recover damaged brain cells does not presently exist and remains a great need.

 

Omentum and its Use in Treating Dementia

 

Omentum Overview

 

The Omentum is a layer of tissue lying over internal organs (e.g. the intestines) like a blanket. Omentum has the ability to generate biological agents that nourish nerves and help them grow. When such agents identified from the Omentum were tested, they were shown to provoke the growth of new brain cells in areas of the brain affected by Alzheimer's disease. The Omentum tissue can also increase the level of Acetylcholine (ACh) whose reduction is considered as a main cause of brain cell death. Some scientists believe that the ability of the Omentum to provide this important factor (ACh) may be a key to successfully treating dementia. Additionally, the Omentum has been shown to be angiogenic (i.e. to promote new blood vessel growth) in areas of the body lacking blood flow.

 

Use of Omentum in Treating Dementia

 

Historically, doctors have utilized Omentum to treat dementia using a procedure called omental transposition. This approach involves a surgical procedure in which the Omentum is surgically lengthened into the brain through the chest, neck and behind the ear. The Omentum is then laid directly on the underlying brain. According to studies conducted by a team in the University of Nevada, School of Medicine, omental transposition not only arrested Alzheimer's disease, but also reversed it, resulting in the patient’s neurologic function being improved. Despite the promising results, this surgical procedure has not been popular because it is very invasive and therefore often causes unwanted complications to a patient, especially in the elderly. Accordingly, a less invasive procedure or a pharmaceutical approach in treatment of dementia remains a significant need.

Agreement with Sonos

 

In an effort to develop a less invasive procedure in the treatment of dementia, on May 16, 2012, we signed an agreement with medical device product development company Sonos Models, Inc. (“Sonos”) to assess our options for a medical device solution (“Initial Feasibility Study”).

 

We completed the Initial Feasibility Study and, as a result of the findings, entered into an agreement with Sonos in September 2012 to build up to three medical device prototypes to be used for testing. In April 2014, we entered into an addendum to the agreement with Sonos, which included a commitment by us to pay Sonos up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) cash, excluding stock based compensation, for research and development costs. These costs will be recognized in research and development expense as costs are incurred. To date, Sonos has been issued 325,000 restricted shares of our stock, 20,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock and paid approximately $220,000, of which $65,000 has been incurred towards our monetary commitment.

 

To date, the results of the research suggest we have three options for implantable devices with a bias towards having them as non-invasive as possible. The options are comprised of two electro-stim types that have a multitude of variable test parameters that can be changed and modified externally as the testing facility conducts clinical trials on each patient. It is theorized that if a patient’s response to the Omentum stimulation is successful, the clinical facility should be able to perform various tests for the purpose of setting “markers” for the patient and then perform the standardized cognitive testing for Alzheimer’s patient with the intent of developing a testing matrix. It is our objective to test various methods and modalities with the aim of developing an enormous matrix of input to direct us to the best solution. Our goal is to be less invasive, as small as possible and as simple as possible to reach the broadest patient base. We intend to “Shape and Innovate History” as we visualize and create a solution for this debilitating disease.

 

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is very limited historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a smaller reporting biomedical company and have not generated revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to increases in the cost of services. To become profitable and competitive, we must receive additional capital. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available, we may be unable to continue operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General – Overall, we had a decrease in cash flows of approximately $20,000 in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017 resulting from cash used in operating activities of approximately $446,000, offset partially by cash provided by financing activities of approximately $426,000.

 

The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating and financing activities during the periods indicated:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities – For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operations was approximately $446,000 compared to net cash used in operations of approximately $394,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016. Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of approximately $15,500,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017, offset by accretion of debt discount of approximately $11,500, loss from extinguishment of debt of approximately $13,800,000, stock based compensation of approximately $264,000, amortization of prepaid consulting compensation of approximately $579,000, and the net changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $371,000.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities – Net cash flows provided by financing activities in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017 was approximately $426,000, compared to net cash provided of approximately $396,000 in the same period in 2016. The cash provided by financing activities was due to proceeds from convertible notes payable to stockholders of approximately $345,000, proceeds from issuance of stock of approximately $50,000 and proceeds from exercise of warrants of approximately $31,000.

 

Financing – We expect that our current working capital position, together with our expected future cash flows used in operations will be insufficient to fund our operations in the ordinary course of business, anticipated capital expenditures, debt payment requirements and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, this belief is based upon many assumptions and is subject to numerous risks, and we will require additional funding in the future.

Table of Contents

 

We have no present agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions of other businesses, products, product rights or technologies or any other material capital expenditures. However, we will continue to evaluate acquisitions of and/or investments in products, technologies, capital equipment or improvements or companies that complement our business and may make such acquisitions and/or investments in the future. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional sources of capital in the future to finance any such acquisitions and/or investments. We may not be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Due to the previous global economic crisis, we believe it may be difficult to obtain additional financing if needed. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Other Capital Expenditures

 

If we have the funds available, we expect to purchase approximately $30,000 of equipment in connection with the expansion of the business.

 

Fiscal year end

 

Cerebain and Cerebain Biotech each has a June 30 fiscal year end.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27,000,000 and $11,500,000 at March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and had a net loss of approximately $15,500,000 and $1,600,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $446,000 and $394,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, with no revenue earned since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While we are attempting to commence operations, and attempting to generate revenues, our cash position will not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan, generate revenues, and successfully borrow money or sell our securities for cash.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Commission has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and which require us to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information, see Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies on page 8.

 

The following are deemed to be the most significant accounting policies affecting us.


 
- 31 -
 
Table of Contents

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires us 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Measurement, estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, useful lives and residual value of long-lived assets, and the valuation of equity instruments. We make these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumption.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the 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 those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, 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.

 

Stock Compensation

 

We account for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We evaluate stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market. We estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

 

If a conversion feature of conventional convertible debt is not accounted for as a derivative instrument and provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount. The convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We follow the provisions of ASC 820. This Topic defines fair value, establishes a measurement framework and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

We use fair value measurements for determining the valuation of derivative financial instruments payable in shares of its common stock. This primarily involves option pricing models that incorporate certain assumptions and projections to determine fair value. These require our judgment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have evaluated new accounting pronouncements that have been issued and are not yet effective for us and determined that there are no such pronouncements expected to have an impact on our future financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are a smaller reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Inflation

 

Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial Officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2017, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act). Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework (“COSO”). Based on that assessment, management believes that, as of March 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective, based on the COSO criteria, due to the following material weaknesses listed below.

 

 

· We have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives.

 

· We have not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls.

 

· We have not implemented adequate system and manual controls.

 

· We do not have sufficient segregation of duties.

 

· We lack sufficient personnel with appropriate training and expertise in accounting principles general accepted in the United States.

 

Despite the material weaknesses reported above, our management believes that our financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2017, 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

 

On July 21, 2016, we were sued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Miriam Weber Miller v. Cerebain Biotech Corp. and Eric Clemons, Civil Action No. 16-3943) by Miriam Weber Miller. According to the Complaint, the Plaintiff alleges: (i) she was hired by us to perform public relations, investor relations, corporate growth strategies, and was to be an advisor to our Chief Executive Officer, (ii) she performed services, and (iii) that she was not fully compensated for those services. The Complaint claims causes of action for breach of contract, violation of the Pennsylvania wage payment and collection law, and unjust enrichment, and seeks damages of approximately $400,000. On April 3, 2017, without admitting fault or liability, and still denying the same, we made a business decision to resolve the lawsuit and it is now settled, effectively ending the litigation. In consideration for signing the agreement, we agreed to pay Ms. Miller no more than $120,000 in total and no less than $100,000 in total, the terms of such alternative payment options are as follows:

 

1) We could pay Ms. Miller the total gross amount of one hundred twenty thousand dollars ($120,000) as follows:

 

 

a) One payment of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) within thirty (30) days after March 29, 2017; and

 

 

 

 

b) Beginning within ninety (90) days after March 29, 2017, we would make monthly payments of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) to Ms. Miller’s representative until such time that Ms. Miller and her representative has received the gross amount of $120,000, OR

 
2) We could pay Ms. Miller the total gross amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) as follows:


 

a) One payment of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) within thirty (30) days after March 29, 2017.

 

 

 

 

b) One payment of eighty thousand dollars ($80,000) within sixty (60) days after March 29, 2017, OR

 
3) We could pay Ms. Miller the total gross amount of one hundred ten thousand dollars ($110,000) as follows:

 

 

a) One payment of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) within thirty (30) days after March 29, 2017.

 

 

 

 

b) One payment of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) within sixty (60) days after March 29, 2017.

 

 

 

 

c) One payment of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) within ninety (90) days after March 29, 2017.

 

Upon all payments being made pursuant to the terms set forth in the agreement, Ms. Miller has agreed to knowingly and voluntarily release and discharge us of and from all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, promises, controversies, compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, damages, rights, actions and causes of action known and unknown, at law or in equity, which Ms. Miller has or may have against us as of the date of execution of the settlement agreement.

 

We have recognized an accrual in Accounts Payable for payment of the agreed upon settlement, but no accrual has been made for additional legal contingencies in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017. In April 2017, we paid Ms. Miller twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) as agreed in the settlement agreement.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no changes to our Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2016.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, we entered into various stock purchase agreements with third parties between January and March of 2017, under which we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, in exchange for $10,000. The stock purchase agreements include piggyback registration rights. The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investors were sophisticated and familiar with our operations at the time of the issuance of the shares.

 

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, we issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to an individual for conversion of notes payable. The aggregate value of these shares was approximately $4,000 as the conversion price was $0.20 per share. The issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investor was sophisticated and familiar with our operations at the time of the issuance of the shares.

 

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, we issued 110,000 shares of common stock to various individuals as payment for consulting services per contracts dated between February 2017 and March 2017. The aggregate Fair Value of these shares was approximately $55,000 as the fair value of the stock was between $0.50 and $0.52 per share. We used recent sales of stock to determine the fair value of these transactions. The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investors were sophisticated and familiar with our operations at the time of the issuance of the shares.

 

In January 2017, we entered into an unsecured amended and consolidated convertible promissory note with a non-affiliate stockholder for a principal amount of approximately $2,460,000. In exchange for the issuance of the promissory note, the stockholder agreed to modify a $2,410,112 convertible promissory note payable issued in November 2016 and paid us cash of $50,000. The amended and consolidated convertible note payable matures January 24, 2019, accrues interest at 5% per annum, and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.15 per share, but only if such conversion would not cause the noteholder to own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock, and contains piggyback registration rights. The issuance of the promissory note was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investor was sophisticated and familiar with our operations at the time of the issuance of the promissory note.
