NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.    GENERAL INFORMATION

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Rasna DE" or "Rasna Inc.”), is a company incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 28, 2016.

On October 11, 2017, we changed our fiscal year end from March 31 to September 30 and we filed a Form 10-KT on November 30, 2017.

On April 27, 2016, Rasna Therapeutics Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the U.K. Companies Act (“Rasna UK”) sold its stake in Falconridge Holdings Limited, or Falconridge, to Rasna DE for $1. This entity had no operations, no assets or liabilities as of this date.

On May 17, 2016, Rasna DE and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) with Arna Therapeutics Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, or Arna, which was a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of leukemia. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna DE in exchange for shares of Arna.

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., or AWM, entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna DE, and Rasna Acquisition, providing for the merger of Rasna Acquisition with and into Rasna DE, (the “Merger”), with Rasna DE, surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AWM. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

The Merger has been treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of AWM’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna DE is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control us after the Merger Agreement, even though AWM was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in our financial statements are those of Rasna DE as if Rasna DE had always been the reporting company.  Since AWM had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by us as a result of the Merger Agreement.

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”) which is also the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. See Note 2, Foreign currency policy. 

2.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2017, contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KT filed with the SEC on November 30, 2017.

Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates any entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. Further, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity that it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and have the power to direct its significant activities. Upon review of the relationship between Rasna Therapeutics Limited (“Rasna UK”) and

8

Rasna Inc., Management noted that equity investment in Rasna UK is not sufficient to fund its operations. Accordingly, Rasna Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the assets held within Rasna UK, which primarily consist of cash received from Rasna Inc. to fund its operations, and has power to direct its significant activities. As a result, Rasna Inc. consolidates this variable interest entity.  

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary, Arna Therapeutics Limited as well as the operations of Rasna Inc. for the period from May 17, 2016 through December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations 

Management accounts for business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

The amounts reflected within the Note 3 - Acquisitions are the results of the final valuation report of the purchase price allocation.

Going Concern

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other pre-commercial stage companies, including its dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, testing, and obtaining related regulatory approvals of its pipeline products, suppliers and collaborators, successful protection of intellectual property, competition with larger, better-capitalized companies, successful completion of the Company's development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years, and at December 31, 2017, had an accumulated deficit of $14,302,519, a net loss for the for the three months ended December 31, 2017 of $2,003,451 and net cash used in operating activities of $1,255,239.  

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. The Company has sufficient funds to continue operating until the end of November 2018, but will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. In the event that the Company is unable to secure the necessary additional cash resources needed, the Company may slow current development phases or halt new development phases in order to mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the fair values of stock based awards, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value

9

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such financial instruments. Management measures certain other assets   at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of related party receivables.

Deposits held with banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. Management believes that the institutions that hold our instruments are financially sound and are subject to minimal credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

From time to time, the Company’s balances in its bank accounts exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company will periodically evaluate the risk of exceeding insured levels and might transfer funds if it deems appropriate. The Company has not experienced any losses with regards to balances in excess of insured limits or as a result of other concentrations of credit risk.

Prepayments and other receivables

Prepayments consists of prepaid Directors and Officers liability insurance.

Property and Equipment

Expenditures for additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is computed in a straight line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of the major classes of depreciable assets are 2 to 5 years for equipment and furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The Company periodically evaluates whether current events or circumstances indicate that the carrying life of the depreciable assets may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and Intangible assets

Intangible assets are made up of indefinite lived intangible assets, in-process research and development, (“IPR&D”) and certain intellectual property (“IP”). The balance of the indefinite lived intangible assets represents the platform technology that was acquired in 2013, which, at the time, was determined to have alternative future uses. IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to acquired technologies in a business combination, which at the time of the business combination have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IP assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies, which at the time of acquisition have reached technological feasibility, however, have not yet been put into service. Intangible assets are considered to have an indefinite useful life until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects.

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews indefinite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

10

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, and other risks associated with an early stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the statements of operations in the year in which it is incurred with the exception of expenditures incurred in respect of the development of major new products where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain in regards to viability and technical feasibility. Such expenditure is capitalized and amortized straight line over the estimated period of sale for each product, commencing in the year that sales of the product are first made. To date, the Company has not capitalized any such expenditures other than certain IPR&D & IP recorded in connection with certain acquisition or equity transactions.

Foreign Currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using their functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”), which is the company’s functional and presentational currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the rate of exchange applicable at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-translation at the year-end of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period.

The following table sets forth potential common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and the exercise of warrants, all of which have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive:

	December 31, 2017	December 31, 2016
Stock options	4,829,875	1,662,375
Warrants	1,926,501	—
Total shares issuable upon exercise or conversion	6,756,376	1,662,375

The following is the computation of net loss per share for the following periods:

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,
	2017 (Unaudited)			2016 (Unaudited)
Net loss for the period	$	(2,003,451	)	$	(1,356,084	)
Weighted average number of shares	68,908,003			65,082,334
Net loss per share (basic and diluted)	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.02	)

11

Warrants

In April 2016, the Company committed to issue warrants as compensation to the placement agents relating to fundraising. On February 28, 2017, the Company issued a ten year warrant to purchase 1,440,501 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.

The Company had determined that the service inception date preceded the grant date, and accordingly, recorded a liability to issue warrants in the Company as of the date that the equity was issued, with an offset charge to additional paid-in capital as these are offering costs. The liability to issue warrants was marked to market each period until the grant date, at which point the Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815-40-25-7, the warrants should be classified in stockholder’s equity. See Note 7 for additional information.

In July 2017, the Company committed to issue warrants as compensation to the placement agents relating to fundraising. On August 31, 2017, the Company issued a ten year warrant to purchase 112,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.

On August 31, 2017, the Company entered into consulting agreements with placement agents who were providing consulting services in the areas of capital market advisory and investor relations. In lieu of fees for these consulting services, on September 1, 2017, the Company issued ten year warrants to purchase 347,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The Company determined that the service inception date did not preceed the grant date, and accordingly classifies the warrants in stockholder's equity, in accordance with ASC 815-40-25-7. See Note 7 for additional information.

Equity-Based Payments

ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the estimated fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company accounts for shares of common stock, stock options and warrants issued to employees based on the fair value of the stock, stock option or warrant, if that value is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration or services received.

The Company accounts for stock options issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50 “Equity -Based Payment to Non-Employees” and accordingly the value of the stock compensation to non-employees is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Accordingly the fair value of these options is being “marked to market” quarterly until the measurement date is determined.

Income taxes

On December 22, 2017, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law and has resulted in significant change to the U.S corporate income tax system.  These changes include a federal statutory rate reduction from 35% to 21%, a transition tax which applies to the repatriate of foreign earnings and profits, the elimination or reduction of certain domestic deductions and credits and limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation. 

Changes in tax rates and tax laws are accounted for in the period of enactment.  Therefore, during the three month period ended December 31, 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit totaling $4,301 related to our current estimate of the impact of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, seeking to eliminate diversity in practice related to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows.

The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity

12

early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company expects to adopt this ASU described above in its Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement cash flows. The new standard is expected to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Management has evaluated the effects of ASU 2016-18 and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt this ASU described above in its Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which addresses the concerns over the cost and complexity of the two-step impairment test, and removes the second step of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted in January 2017. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral. The ASU applies to issuers of financial instruments with down-round features. It amends (1) the classification of such instruments as liabilities or equity by revising the guidance in ASC 815 on the evaluation of whether instruments or embedded features with down-round provisions must be accounted for as derivative instruments and (2) the guidance on recognition and measurement of the value transferred upon the trigger of a down-round feature for equity-classified instruments by revising ASC 260. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3.    ACQUISITIONS

The following transactions were accounted for using the acquisition accounting method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair value.

On May 5, 2016, Rasna UK sold its intellectual property to Falconridge, a subsidiary of Rasna, for a note payable in the amount of $236,269. Rasna UK is considered a VIE and consolidated in these financial statements, however, is not an entity under common control as Rasna controlled both Falconridge and Rasna UK at the time of the transaction, this transaction eliminates on consolidation.

On May 17, 2016, Rasna and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with Arna. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna in exchange for shares of Arna. Arna was deemed to be the accounting acquirer because Rasna and Falconridge Holdings Limited were non-trading holding companies and Arna’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity and its senior management will serve as the senior management of the combined entity. Further, 65% of the voting interest in Rasna was

13

acquired by Arna shareholders in connection with the transaction. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, Rasna, were written to fair value in accordance with the Acquisition Method prescribed in ASC 805, Business Combinations.

The consideration transferred was measured based upon the share price recently received during a non-public equity raise in Rasna, during which non-related investors paid $0.40 per share of common stock. During the acquisition transaction, 19,187,500 of 54,837,790 shares were issued to legacy Rasna shareholders, which results in consideration transferred to the acquiree’s shareholders of $7,675,000.

In addition, $607,159 of a related party receivable due to Arna from Rasna Uk, was forgiven as part of the consideration transferred.

The purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition is set forth in the table below. As per the purchase accounting method, the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.

The Company’s allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition was calculated as follows:

	Balance as of
	May 17, 2016
Share consideration transferred	$	7,675,000
Forgiveness of receivable	607,159
Consideration transferred	$	8,282,159
Less: Fair value of assets acquired
Cash and cash equivalents	(5,116,609		)
Other receivables	(14,187		)
Prepayment	(66,856		)
Related party receivables	(20,412		)
Intellectual property	(236,269		)
In-Process research and development	(613,100		)
Plus: Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	492,603
Related party payables	15,656
Goodwill	$	2,722,985

Of the above assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the intellectual property acquired was owned by Falconridge  and the residual assets acquired and liabilities assumed comprised the VIE that was controlled by Rasna, Inc.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development

Acquired IPR&D is the fair value of the LSD-1 asset at the acquisition date. The Company determined that the fair value of LSD-1 was $613,100 as of the acquisition date using the cost approach. This was based on the fact that LSD-1 was not yet technologically feasible or in use as of the valuation date. Also as no prospective revenue stream could be determined, the cost approach was deemed to be the most appropriate.

The Company retained a Clinical Research Organisation ("CRO") to perform all related research and development associated with LSD-1. As all research and development associated with LSD‐1 was performed by the CRO and no other contributions to LSD‐1 IPR&D were made beyond payments to the CRO, the Company considered the payments made to estimate the fair value of LSD‐1.

Active With Me, Inc.

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna, Inc., and Rasna Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rasna, Inc. (the “Merger”), with Rasna, Inc.

14

surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

The Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of Active With Me’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna Successor is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Exchange Agreement, even though Active With Me, Inc. was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Rasna Successor as if Rasna Successor had always been the reporting company.  Since Active With Me, Inc. had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger Agreement.

Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Rasna Successor to a former officer and director of Active With Me, Inc. in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Rasna Successor’s common stock held by such person.

In connection with the share exchange, each share of Rasna, Inc was exchanged for the right to receive .33 shares in Active With Me, Inc. Once issued, the new shares were combined with the 3,305,000 common shares held by legacy Active With Me, Inc. shareholders. Immediately following the Merger, 1,500,000 shares were canceled, which related to one legacy Active With Me shareholder that effectively spun off the remaining assets of Active With Me in connection with the transaction. Finally, subsequent to the transaction, the legal acquirer executed a 3.25 for 1 stock split on its common shares. Following the closing of the Merger and Rasna Successor’s cancellation of 1,500,000 shares in the Split-Off, there were 19,901,471 shares of Rasna Successor issued and outstanding, which once effected for the 3.25 for 1 reverse stock split, resulted in 64,679,798 shares outstanding in the combined entity.

4.    GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As noted in Note 3 - Acquisitions, on May 17, 2016, there was a transaction where the Company acquired an entity and, at initial purchase price, it was determined that there was $236,269 of intellectual property, $613,100 of In-process research and development, and $2,722,985 of goodwill.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill for the periods indicated resulting from the acquisitions by the Company:

	December 31,		September 30,
	2017		2017
Goodwill	$	2,722,985	$	2,722,985
Acquisition of Rasna and its subsidiaries	—		—
Net Book Value	$	2,722,985	$	2,722,985

The Company  performed an impairment analysis and no impairment was determined. Therefore no impairment was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and the period ended September 30, 2017.

Intangible Assets

On December 17, 2013 the Company’s shareholder, Panetta Partners Limited, transferred 5,000,000 of its shares in Arna Therapeutics Limited to Eurema Consulting S.r.l. and 5,000,000 shares in Arna Therapeutics Limited to TES Pharma S.r.l. In exchange for the shares, Panetta Partners Limited obtained intellectual property ("Platform Technology") from TES Pharma S.r.l and Eurema Consulting S.r.l. Panetta Partners Limited then assigned the Platform Technology to Arna Therapeutics Limited, which was accounted for as a capital contribution. The fair value of the shares exchanged for the IPR&D was $0.13 per share; in addition

15

the issue price for shares in October 2013 was $0.13 per share (shares issued post acquisition of the IPR&D were issued at $0.28) and accordingly the Company valued the Platform Technology at $1.3 million.

IPR&D relating to LSD-1, was acquired in the reverse acquisition of Rasna UK by Arna as of May 17, 2016. The Company retained a Clinical Research Organisation ("CRO") to perform all related research and development associated with LSD‐1. Based on review of the license agreement dated January 1, 2015, between the CRO and Rasna, the Company agreed to pay 100,002 Euros for costs incurred to date and to perform research and development on a going forward basis. Additionally, the Company entered into an amended license agreement whereby Rasna agreed to pay TTFactor an additional 435,000 Euros as of May 17, 2016, regarding services rendered between September 9, 2014 to May 17, 2016. Based on the cost approach, the IPR&D was valued at $613,100.

At the time of the acquisition, the Company had reasonably expected to use the Platform Technology, in the asset’s then current state, in two independent research projects that had not commenced as of the date of the acquisition. The Company’s research projects applied the conclusions reached in the Platform Technology to develop treatments for AML through reformulation of certain available pharmaceuticals and independent development of a new pharmaceutical treatment. Both research projects were initiated shortly after the Platform Technology was acquired and continue through the date of the financial statements.

At the time of acquisition, and at present, no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors were present that would constrain the useful life of the asset to the Company. The agreement to purchase the asset has no provisions that would limit the timeframe of use, legally, contractually or economically, and the asset remains a competitive platform for results in the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and lymphoma. Specifically, the agreement irrevocably assigns all rights and title to the Asset, without limitation or contingencies. No limitations or alternative technology has emerged that would suggest obsolescence or a change in the competitive landscape for the Platform Technology as of the most recent reporting period. In addition, the Company has concluded that the useful life of the Platform Technology at the time of acquisition was beyond a foreseeable horizon, and therefore the asset is classified as an indefinite lived intangible asset.

The IPR&D and intellectual property are considered to have an indefinite life and there were no impairment charges recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and the period ended September 30, 2017.

The following table summarizes the Company’s intangible assets as of the following periods: 

	December 31,		September 30,
	2017		2017		Estimated Useful Life
In-process research and development	$	613,100	$	613,100	Indefinite
Intellectual Property	236,269		236,269		Indefinite
Indefinite lived intangible asset	1,300,000		1,300,000		Indefinite
	$	2,149,369	$	2,149,369

5.    ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

The following table summarizes the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses as of the following periods:

	December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)		September 30, 2017
Accounts payable	$	353,877	$	658,921
Accrued expenses	415,280		328,443
	$	769,157	$	987,364

Accounts payable is predominantly made up of unpaid invoices relating to research and development, accounting and professional fees. Included within the accrued expenses balance of $415,280 at December 31, 2017 is approximately $100,000 relating to vendors for research and development expenses, $75,000 relating to an accrual for directors fees, approximately $67,000 relating payroll accruals, and approximately $70,000 of accrued legal, patent and other costs.

16

Included within the accrued expenses balance of $328,443 at September 30, 2017 is $128,000 of accrued legal, accounting and professional fees, $60,000 for payroll related expenses and $50,000 for Directors fees.

6.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2016 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

On July 19, 2016, the Company adopted its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The plan was established to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. For the Equity Incentive Plan, employees, officers, directors and consultants who provide services to the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries may be selected to receive awards. A total of 9,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was authorized for issuance with respect to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The fair values of stock option grants during the three months ended December 31, 2017 were calculated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the period of service, generally the vesting period. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, no options were granted by the Company. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes options pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options for the three months ended December 31, 2017:

	Employee – Vesting Period				Non- Employee – Vesting Period
	1 Year	2 Years	3 Years	4Years	1 Year	2 Years	3 Years
Stock Price	$0.85	$0.85	$0.85	$0.85	$3.00	$3.00	$3.00
Expected life (years)	5.50	5.75	6.00	6.25	5.50	5.75	6.00
Expected volatility	82.40%	82.20%	81.90%	81.70%	86.60%	85.40%	89.00%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%	—%	—%	—%	—%	—%
Risk-free interest rate	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%

The input assumptions used are as follows:

Discount rate —Based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations with maturities which correspond to the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

Dividend yield —The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

Expected volatility —Based on the historical volatility of seven different comparable Companys’ stock.

Expected term —The Company has had no stock options exercised since inception. The expected option term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment , (“SAB No. 107”), which averages an award’s weighted-average vesting period and expected term for “plain vanilla” share options. Under SAB No. 107, options are considered to be “plain vanilla” if they have the following basic characteristics: (i) granted “at-the-money”; (ii) exercisability is conditioned upon service through the vesting date; (iii) termination of service prior to vesting results in forfeiture; (iv) limited exercise period following termination of service; and (v) options are non-transferable and non-hedgeable.

The Company will continue to use the simplified method for the expected term until it has the historical data necessary to provide a reasonable estimate of expected life in accordance with SAB No. 107, as amended by SAB No. 110. For the expected term, the Company has “plain-vanilla” stock options, and therefore used a simple average of the vesting period and the contractual term for options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 as permitted by SAB No. 107.

Forfeitures —ASC Topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has estimated zero forfeiture.

17

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended December 31, 2017:

	Number of Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option	Weighted Average remaining Contractual Life (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding balance at September 30, 2017	4,829,875	0.56	8.60	$5,975,874
Granted	—	—	—	—

Options exercisable at December 31, 2017	1,963,156	0.27	7.01	$	5,365,467

There were no options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, there was approximately $1,262,741 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017, $257,207 related to share based compensation to directors and employees which has been included within the general and administrative expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.  An additional ($32,225) related to non-employees has been included within the Consultancy fees third parties and related parties expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, $159,095 related to share based compensation to directors and employees which has been included within the general and administrative expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. An additional $91,445 related to non-employees has been included within the Consultancy fees third parties and related parties expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

7.    WARRANTS

On April 10, 2016, the Company incurred the obligation to issue warrants to placement agents relating to fundraising. The Company accounted for the obligation based on an estimate of the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes Model (“BSM”) and the Company recorded $484,009 as a liability and a reduction to proceeds of the equity offering (additional paid-in-capital). The Company assessed the fair value for each reporting period of the liability and recorded changes to additional paid-in capital. At February 28, 2017, the date the warrants were issued, the obligation was reversed to additional paid-in capital and no outstanding liability existed. Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the warrants issued as placement agent warrants are classified as equity in additional paid in capital. 

On July 3, 2017, the Company entered into a finders agreement with a placement agent whereby they incurred an obligation to issue warrants once a private placement has successfully been entered into. On August 31, 2017, the performance condition had been satisfied and the Company issued the related warrants. Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the warrants issued as placement agent warrants are classified as equity in additional paid in capital.

On September 1, 2017, the Company issued warrants to placement agents in lieu of fees for consultancy services to be provided over a period of 6 months. Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the warrants issued in lieu of consultancy fees are classified as equity in additional paid in capital.

18

The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance has been calculated based on the following inputs and assumptions using the Black Scholes Model:

	September 1, 2017	August 31, 2017	February 28, 2017
Fair value at issuance date	$1,420,456	$424,179	$2,914,884
Warrants issued	374,000	112,000	1,440,501
Exercise Price	$0.60	$0.65	$0.37
Stock Price	$4.00	$4.00	$2.10
Expected Term (Years)	10	10	10
Volatility %	91%	91%	105%
Discount Rate - Bond Equivalent Yield	2.35%	2.35%	2.55%
Dividend Yield	—%	—%	—%

The input assumptions used are as follows:

Discount rate —Based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations with maturities which correspond to the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

Dividend yield —The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

Expected volatility —Based on the historical volatility of seven different comparable Companies’ stock.

Expected term —The Company has used the life of the warrant.

The following table summarizes warrant activity for the three months ended December 31, 2017:

	Number of Warrants	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option	Weighted Average remaining Contractual Life (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding balance at September 30, 2017	1,926,501	0.43	8.86	6,875,819
Granted	—	—	—	—
Forfeited	—	—	—	—
Outstanding balance at December 31, 2017	1,926,501	0.43	8.61	$	4,949,318
Warrants exercisable at December 31, 2017	1,926,501	0.43	8.61	$	4,949,318

The performance related warrants issued on August 31, 2017 are fully vested and do not have any forfeiture conditions attached.

The fair value of the consultancy warrants issued on September 1, 2017 was $1,418,071 at December 31, 2017, of which $307,765 was expensed during the six months ended September 30 2017.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, $779,422 of costs were recognized for consultancy related warrants. These costs are included within the Consultancy fees third parties and related parties expense category in the consolidated financial statements.

The specific timing of such milestones cannot be predicted and depend upon future discretionary research and clinical developments, as well as, regulatory agency actions. Further, under the terms of certain agreements the Company may be obligated to pay commercial milestones contingent upon the realization of sales revenues and sublicense revenues. Due to the long range nature of such commercial milestones, they are neither probable at this time nor predictable, and consequently are not considered contingent milestone payment amounts.

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms "Rasna,",” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and, where appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Company Background

To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development efforts relating to our therapeutic candidates, including conducting clinical trials and developing manufacturing capabilities, in-licensing related intellectual property, protecting our intellectual property and providing general and administrative support for these operations. Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities.

We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we:

• continue enrollment in our ongoing clinical trials;

• initiate new clinical trials;

• seek to identify, assess, acquire and develop other products, therapeutic candidates and technologies;

• seek regulatory and marketing approvals in multiple jurisdictions for our therapeutic candidates that successfully complete clinical studies;

• establish collaborations with third parties for the development and commercialization of our products and therapeutic candidates;

• make milestone or other payments under our agreements pursuant to which we have licensed or acquired rights to intellectual property and technology;

• seek to maintain, protect, and expand our intellectual property portfolio;

• seek to attract and retain skilled personnel;

• incur the administrative costs associated with being a public company and related costs of compliance;

• create additional infrastructure to support our operations as a commercial stage public company and our planned future commercialization efforts; and

• experience any delays or encounter issues with any of the above.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing losses for at least the next several years. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in addition to the net proceeds from this offering in order to obtain regulatory approval for, and the commercialization of our therapeutic candidates. Until such time that we can generate meaningful revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements or a combination of these approaches. If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of any approved therapies or products or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On October 11, 2017, we changed our fiscal year end from March 31 to September 30 and we filed a Form 10-KT on November 30, 2017.

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Rasna DE" or "Rasna Inc.”), is a company incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 28, 2016.

On April 27, 2016, Rasna Therapeutics Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the U.K. Companies Act (“Rasna UK”) sold its stake in Falconridge Holdings Limited, or Falconridge, to Rasna DE for $1. This entity had no operations, no assets or liabilities as of this date.

On May 17, 2016, Rasna DE and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) with Arna Therapeutics Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, or Arna, which was a clinical stage

22

biotechnology company focused on drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of leukemia. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna DE in exchange for shares of Arna.

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., or AWM, entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna DE, and Rasna Acquisition, providing for the merger of Rasna Acquisition with and into Rasna DE, (the “Merger”), with Rasna DE, surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AWM. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

The Merger has been treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of AWM’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna DE is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control us after the Merger Agreement, even though AWM was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in our financial statements are those of Rasna DE as if Rasna DE had always been the reporting company.  Since AWM had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by us as a result of the Merger Agreement.

Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Rasna DE to a former officer and director of AWM in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Rasna DE's common stock held by such person.

In connection with the share exchange, each share of Rasna DE was exchanged for the right to receive .33 shares in AWM. Once issued, the new shares were combined with the 3,305,000 common shares held by legacy AWM shareholders. Immediately following the Merger, 1,500,000 shares were canceled, which related to one legacy AWM shareholder that effectively spun off the remaining assets of AWM in connection with the transaction. Finally, subsequent to the transaction, the legal acquirer executed a 3.25 for 1 stock split on its common shares. Historical common stock amounts and additional paid-in capital have been retroactively adjusted for the effect of the share splits executive in connection with the Merger transaction.

On September 20, 2016, we filed a Certificate of Change in Nevada which effected a 3.25 for 1 forward stock split of our common stock for shareholders of record as of August 16, 2016 and increased the authorized number of shares of common stock to 200,000,000 shares.

We only have one segment of activity which is that of a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on targeted drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with US GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we believe the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

Basis of preparation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

23

Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, we consolidate any entity in which we have a controlling financial interest. Further, we consolidate any variable interest entity that we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and have the power to direct its significant activities. Upon review of the relationship between Rasna Therapeutics (“Rasna UK”) and Rasna, Management noted that equity investment in Rasna UK is not sufficient to fund its operations. Accordingly, Rasna is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the assets held within Rasna UK, which primarily consist of cash received from Rasna to fund its operations, and has power to direct its significant activities. As a result, Rasna consolidates this variable interest entity.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary, Arna Therapeutics Limited as well as the operations of Rasna for the period from May 17, 2016 through December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

Management accounts for business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

Management is required to complete the purchase price allocation within 12 months of the acquisition date. If such completion of the allocation results in a change in the preliminary values, the measurement period adjustment will be recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined in accordance with ASU 2015-16. The amounts reflected within the Note 3 - Acquisitions are the results of a purchase price allocation based on a final valuation report.

Going Concern

We are subject to a number of risks similar to those of other pre-commercial stage companies, including our dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, testing, and obtaining related regulatory approvals of its pipeline products, suppliers and collaborators, successful protection of intellectual property, competition with larger, better-capitalized companies, successful completion of our development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill our development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure.

We have experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years, and as at December 31, 2017, had accumulated deficit of $14,302,519 , a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017 of $2,003,451 and net cash used in operating activities of $1,255,239.

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. We have sufficient funds to continue operating until the end of November 2018, but will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. In the event that the Company is unable to secure the necessary additional cash resources needed, we may slow current development phases or halt new development phases in order to mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support our cost structure.

24

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the fair values of stock based awards, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, related party balances, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such financial instruments. Management measures certain other assets, including nonmarketable equity securities, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of related party receivables.

Deposits held with banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. Management believes that the institutions that hold our instruments are financially sound and are subject to minimal credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

From time to time,our balances in our bank accounts exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. We will periodically evaluate the risk of exceeding insured levels and might transfer funds if we deem appropriate. We have not experienced any losses with regards to balances in excess of insured limits or as a result of other concentrations of credit risk.

Goodwill and Intangible assets

Intangible assets are made up of indefinite lived intangible assets, in-process research and development, (“IPR&D”) and certain intellectual property (“IP”). The balance of the indefinite lived intangible assets represents the platform technology that was acquired in 2013, which, at the time, was determined to have alternative future uses. IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to acquired technologies in a business combination, which at the time of the business combination have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IP assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies, which at the time of acquisition have reached technological feasibility, however, have not yet been put into service. Intangible assets are considered to have an indefinite useful life until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects.

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations.  Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test.  Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges as of the three months ended December 31, 2017 or 2016.

Risks and Uncertainties

25

We intend to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. Our operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, and other risks associated with an early stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the statements of operation in the year in which it is incurred with the exception of expenditures incurred in respect of the development of major new products where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain in regards to viability and technical feasibility. Such expenditure is capitalized and amortized straight line over the estimated period of sale for each product, commencing in the year that sales of the product are first made. To date, we have not capitalized any such expenditures other than certain IPR&D & IP recorded in connection with certain acquisition or equity transactions.

Foreign Currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using their functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”), which is the company’s functional and presentational currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the rate of exchange applicable at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-translation at the year-end of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period.

The following table sets forth potential common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and the exercise of warrants, all of which have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive, including the impact on dilutive net loss per share of in-the-money warrants as per ASC 260-10-45-35 through ASC 260-10-45-37:

	December 31, 2017	December 31, 2016
Stock options	4,829,875	1,662,375
Warrants	1,926,501	—
Total shares issuable upon exercise or conversion	6,756,376	1,662,375

Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees

ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the estimated fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company accounts for shares of common stock, stock options and warrants issued to employees based on the fair value of the stock, stock option or warrant, if that value is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration or services received.

26

We account for stock options issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50 “Equity -Based Payment to Non-Employees” and accordingly the value of the stock compensation to non-employees is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Accordingly the fair value of these options is being “marked to market” quarterly until the measurement date is determined.

Income taxes

On December 22, 2017, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law and has resulted in significant change to the U.S corporate income tax system.  These changes include a federal statutory rate reduction from 35% to 21%, a transition tax which applies to the repatriate of foreign earnings and profits, the elimination or reduction of certain domestic deductions and credits and limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation. 

Changes in tax rates and tax laws are accounted for in the period of enactment.  Therefore, during the three month period ended December 31, 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit totaling $4,301 related to our current estimate of the impact of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, seeking to eliminate diversity in practice related to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows.

The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. We expect to adopt this ASU described above in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement cash flows. The new standard is expected to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Management has evaluated the effects of ASU 2016-18 and concluded that there will be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We expect to adopt this ASU described above in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which addresses the concerns over the cost and complexity of the two-step impairment test, and removes the second step of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted in January 2017. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting

27

for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral. The ASU applies to issuers of financial instruments with down-round features. It amends (1) the classification of such instruments as liabilities or equity by revising the guidance in ASC 815 on the evaluation of whether instruments or embedded features with down-round provisions must be accounted for as derivative instruments and (2) the guidance on recognition and measurement of the value transferred upon the trigger of a down-round feature for equity-classified instruments by revising ASC 260. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

The following paragraphs set forth our results of operations for the periods presented.  The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

The following table sets forth the summary statements of operations for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,

Revenues

There were no revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 because the Company does not have any commercial biopharmaceutical products.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consisting of, research and development costs, consultancy fees, legal and professional fees and general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2017 increased to $1,999,775 from $1,377,545 for the three months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $622,230. The increase is primarily attributable to payroll and rental expenditure incurred due to the hiring additional employees and obtaining additional office space (approximately $236,000), and the increase

28

in the charge for options and warrants (approximately $754,000), offset by decreases in research and development expenses and legal and professional fees (approximately $322,000)

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017 increased to $2,003,451 from $1,356,084 for the three months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $647,367. The increase is primarily attributable to payroll and rental expenditure incurred due to the hiring additional employees and obtaining additional office space (approximately $236,000), and the increase in the charge for options and warrants (approximately $754,000), offset by decreases in research and development expenses and legal and professional fees (approximately $322,000)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have sufficient cash to carry out our activities until November 2018. We will be required to raise additional capital to continue the development and commercialization of current product candidates and to fund operations. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may (i) involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct, delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; (ii) seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize its self on unfavorable terms. 

Capital Resources

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital as of the periods indicated:

	December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)		September 30, 2017		Change
Current assets	$	1,479,455	$	2,695,699	$	(1,216,244	)

We had a cash balance of $1,286,048 and $2,537,611 at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively. 

Liquidity

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,
	2017			2016			Increase/(Decrease)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(1,255,239	)	$	(761,633	)	$	(493,606	)
Net cash provided by investing activities	$	—		$	—		$	—
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	—		$	2,007,500		$	(2,007,500	)

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,255,239 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $761,633for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The change is principally attributable to net loss of $2,003,451 excluding non-cash items such as share based compensation of $224,982 , consultancy expense for warrants issued of $779,422 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $258,067.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

29

Cash provided by financing activities consists of proceeds received from the sale of shares of common stock issued in a private placement to accredited investors. This was $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $2,007,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest as evidenced by the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE and therefore are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We take into account our entire involvement in a VIE (explicit or implicit) in identifying variable interests that individually or in the aggregate could be significant enough to warrant our designation as the primary beneficiary and hence require us to consolidate the VIE or otherwise require us to make appropriate disclosures.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods.  In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and

30

operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, each officer concluded that, as of the date of the evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Rasna DE" or "Rasna Inc.”), is a company incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 28, 2016.

On October 11, 2017, we changed our fiscal year end from March 31 to September 30 and we filed a Form 10-KT on November 30, 2017.

On April 27, 2016, Rasna Therapeutics Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the U.K. Companies Act (“Rasna UK”) sold its stake in Falconridge Holdings Limited, or Falconridge, to Rasna DE for $1. This entity had no operations, no assets or liabilities as of this date.

On May 17, 2016, Rasna DE and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) with Arna Therapeutics Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, or Arna, which was a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on drugs to treat diseases in oncology and immunology, mainly focusing on the treatment of leukemia. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna DE in exchange for shares of Arna.

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., or AWM, entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna DE, and Rasna Acquisition, providing for the merger of Rasna Acquisition with and into Rasna DE, (the “Merger”), with Rasna DE, surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AWM. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

The Merger has been treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of AWM’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna DE is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control us after the Merger Agreement, even though AWM was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in our financial statements are those of Rasna DE as if Rasna DE had always been the reporting company.  Since AWM had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by us as a result of the Merger Agreement.

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”) which is also the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. See Note 2, Foreign currency policy.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Dec. 31, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2017, contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KT filed with the SEC on November 30, 2017.

Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates any entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. Further, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity that it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and have the power to direct its significant activities. Upon review of the relationship between Rasna Therapeutics Limited (“Rasna UK”) and Rasna Inc., Management noted that equity investment in Rasna UK is not sufficient to fund its operations. Accordingly, Rasna Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the assets held within Rasna UK, which primarily consist of cash received from Rasna Inc. to fund its operations, and has power to direct its significant activities. As a result, Rasna Inc. consolidates this variable interest entity.  

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary, Arna Therapeutics Limited as well as the operations of Rasna Inc. for the period from May 17, 2016 through December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations 

Management accounts for business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

The amounts reflected within the Note 3 - Acquisitions are the results of the final valuation report of the purchase price allocation.

Going Concern

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other pre-commercial stage companies, including its dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, testing, and obtaining related regulatory approvals of its pipeline products, suppliers and collaborators, successful protection of intellectual property, competition with larger, better-capitalized companies, successful completion of the Company's development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years, and at December 31, 2017, had an accumulated deficit of $14,302,519, a net loss for the for the three months ended December 31, 2017 of $2,003,451 and net cash used in operating activities of $1,255,239.  

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. The Company has sufficient funds to continue operating until the end of November 2018, but will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. In the event that the Company is unable to secure the necessary additional cash resources needed, the Company may slow current development phases or halt new development phases in order to mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the fair values of stock based awards, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such financial instruments. Management measures certain other assets   at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of related party receivables.

Deposits held with banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. Management believes that the institutions that hold our instruments are financially sound and are subject to minimal credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

From time to time, the Company’s balances in its bank accounts exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company will periodically evaluate the risk of exceeding insured levels and might transfer funds if it deems appropriate. The Company has not experienced any losses with regards to balances in excess of insured limits or as a result of other concentrations of credit risk.

Prepayments and other receivables

Prepayments consists of prepaid Directors and Officers liability insurance.

Property and Equipment

Expenditures for additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is computed in a straight line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of the major classes of depreciable assets are 2 to 5 years for equipment and furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The Company periodically evaluates whether current events or circumstances indicate that the carrying life of the depreciable assets may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and Intangible assets

Intangible assets are made up of indefinite lived intangible assets, in-process research and development, (“IPR&D”) and certain intellectual property (“IP”). The balance of the indefinite lived intangible assets represents the platform technology that was acquired in 2013, which, at the time, was determined to have alternative future uses. IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to acquired technologies in a business combination, which at the time of the business combination have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IP assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies, which at the time of acquisition have reached technological feasibility, however, have not yet been put into service. Intangible assets are considered to have an indefinite useful life until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects.

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews indefinite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, and other risks associated with an early stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the statements of operations in the year in which it is incurred with the exception of expenditures incurred in respect of the development of major new products where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain in regards to viability and technical feasibility. Such expenditure is capitalized and amortized straight line over the estimated period of sale for each product, commencing in the year that sales of the product are first made. To date, the Company has not capitalized any such expenditures other than certain IPR&D & IP recorded in connection with certain acquisition or equity transactions.

Foreign Currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using their functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”), which is the company’s functional and presentational currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the rate of exchange applicable at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-translation at the year-end of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period.

The following table sets forth potential common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and the exercise of warrants, all of which have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive:

	December 31, 2017	December 31, 2016
Stock options	4,829,875	1,662,375
Warrants	1,926,501	—
Total shares issuable upon exercise or conversion	6,756,376	1,662,375

The following is the computation of net loss per share for the following periods:

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,
	2017 (Unaudited)			2016 (Unaudited)
Net loss for the period	$	(2,003,451	)	$	(1,356,084	)
Weighted average number of shares	68,908,003			65,082,334
Net loss per share (basic and diluted)	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.02	)

Warrants

In April 2016, the Company committed to issue warrants as compensation to the placement agents relating to fundraising. On February 28, 2017, the Company issued a ten year warrant to purchase 1,440,501 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.

The Company had determined that the service inception date preceded the grant date, and accordingly, recorded a liability to issue warrants in the Company as of the date that the equity was issued, with an offset charge to additional paid-in capital as these are offering costs. The liability to issue warrants was marked to market each period until the grant date, at which point the Company determined that in accordance with ASC 815-40-25-7, the warrants should be classified in stockholder’s equity. See Note 7 for additional information.

In July 2017, the Company committed to issue warrants as compensation to the placement agents relating to fundraising. On August 31, 2017, the Company issued a ten year warrant to purchase 112,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.

On August 31, 2017, the Company entered into consulting agreements with placement agents who were providing consulting services in the areas of capital market advisory and investor relations. In lieu of fees for these consulting services, on September 1, 2017, the Company issued ten year warrants to purchase 347,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The Company determined that the service inception date did not preceed the grant date, and accordingly classifies the warrants in stockholder's equity, in accordance with ASC 815-40-25-7. See Note 7 for additional information.

Equity-Based Payments

ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the estimated fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company accounts for shares of common stock, stock options and warrants issued to employees based on the fair value of the stock, stock option or warrant, if that value is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration or services received.

The Company accounts for stock options issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50 “Equity -Based Payment to Non-Employees” and accordingly the value of the stock compensation to non-employees is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Accordingly the fair value of these options is being “marked to market” quarterly until the measurement date is determined.

Income taxes

On December 22, 2017, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law and has resulted in significant change to the U.S corporate income tax system.  These changes include a federal statutory rate reduction from 35% to 21%, a transition tax which applies to the repatriate of foreign earnings and profits, the elimination or reduction of certain domestic deductions and credits and limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation. 

Changes in tax rates and tax laws are accounted for in the period of enactment.  Therefore, during the three month period ended December 31, 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit totaling $4,301 related to our current estimate of the impact of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, seeking to eliminate diversity in practice related to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows.

The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company expects to adopt this ASU described above in its Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement cash flows. The new standard is expected to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Management has evaluated the effects of ASU 2016-18 and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt this ASU described above in its Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which addresses the concerns over the cost and complexity of the two-step impairment test, and removes the second step of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted in January 2017. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral. The ASU applies to issuers of financial instruments with down-round features. It amends (1) the classification of such instruments as liabilities or equity by revising the guidance in ASC 815 on the evaluation of whether instruments or embedded features with down-round provisions must be accounted for as derivative instruments and (2) the guidance on recognition and measurement of the value transferred upon the trigger of a down-round feature for equity-classified instruments by revising ASC 260. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS

ACQUISITIONS

The following transactions were accounted for using the acquisition accounting method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair value.

On May 5, 2016, Rasna UK sold its intellectual property to Falconridge, a subsidiary of Rasna, for a note payable in the amount of $236,269. Rasna UK is considered a VIE and consolidated in these financial statements, however, is not an entity under common control as Rasna controlled both Falconridge and Rasna UK at the time of the transaction, this transaction eliminates on consolidation.

On May 17, 2016, Rasna and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with Arna. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna in exchange for shares of Arna. Arna was deemed to be the accounting acquirer because Rasna and Falconridge Holdings Limited were non-trading holding companies and Arna’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity and its senior management will serve as the senior management of the combined entity. Further, 65% of the voting interest in Rasna was acquired by Arna shareholders in connection with the transaction. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, Rasna, were written to fair value in accordance with the Acquisition Method prescribed in ASC 805, Business Combinations.

The consideration transferred was measured based upon the share price recently received during a non-public equity raise in Rasna, during which non-related investors paid $0.40 per share of common stock. During the acquisition transaction, 19,187,500 of 54,837,790 shares were issued to legacy Rasna shareholders, which results in consideration transferred to the acquiree’s shareholders of $7,675,000.

In addition, $607,159 of a related party receivable due to Arna from Rasna Uk, was forgiven as part of the consideration transferred.

The purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition is set forth in the table below. As per the purchase accounting method, the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.

The Company’s allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition was calculated as follows:

	Balance as of
	May 17, 2016
Share consideration transferred	$	7,675,000
Forgiveness of receivable	607,159
Consideration transferred	$	8,282,159
Less: Fair value of assets acquired
Cash and cash equivalents	(5,116,609		)
Other receivables	(14,187		)
Prepayment	(66,856		)
Related party receivables	(20,412		)
Intellectual property	(236,269		)
In-Process research and development	(613,100		)
Plus: Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	492,603
Related party payables	15,656
Goodwill	$	2,722,985

Of the above assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the intellectual property acquired was owned by Falconridge  and the residual assets acquired and liabilities assumed comprised the VIE that was controlled by Rasna, Inc.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development

Acquired IPR&D is the fair value of the LSD-1 asset at the acquisition date. The Company determined that the fair value of LSD-1 was $613,100 as of the acquisition date using the cost approach. This was based on the fact that LSD-1 was not yet technologically feasible or in use as of the valuation date. Also as no prospective revenue stream could be determined, the cost approach was deemed to be the most appropriate.

The Company retained a Clinical Research Organisation ("CRO") to perform all related research and development associated with LSD-1. As all research and development associated with LSD‐1 was performed by the CRO and no other contributions to LSD‐1 IPR&D were made beyond payments to the CRO, the Company considered the payments made to estimate the fair value of LSD‐1.

Active With Me, Inc.

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna, Inc., and Rasna Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rasna, Inc. (the “Merger”), with Rasna, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, Rasna Therapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company that is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma.

The Merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of Active With Me’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna Successor is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Exchange Agreement, even though Active With Me, Inc. was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Rasna Successor as if Rasna Successor had always been the reporting company.  Since Active With Me, Inc. had no operations upon the Merger Agreement taking place, the transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by the Company as a result of the Merger Agreement.

Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Rasna Successor to a former officer and director of Active With Me, Inc. in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Rasna Successor’s common stock held by such person.

In connection with the share exchange, each share of Rasna, Inc was exchanged for the right to receive .33 shares in Active With Me, Inc. Once issued, the new shares were combined with the 3,305,000 common shares held by legacy Active With Me, Inc. shareholders. Immediately following the Merger, 1,500,000 shares were canceled, which related to one legacy Active With Me shareholder that effectively spun off the remaining assets of Active With Me in connection with the transaction. Finally, subsequent to the transaction, the legal acquirer executed a 3.25 for 1 stock split on its common shares. Following the closing of the Merger and Rasna Successor’s cancellation of 1,500,000 shares in the Split-Off, there were 19,901,471 shares of Rasna Successor issued and outstanding, which once effected for the 3.25 for 1 reverse stock split, resulted in 64,679,798 shares outstanding in the combined entity.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As noted in Note 3 - Acquisitions, on May 17, 2016, there was a transaction where the Company acquired an entity and, at initial purchase price, it was determined that there was $236,269 of intellectual property, $613,100 of In-process research and development, and $2,722,985 of goodwill.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill for the periods indicated resulting from the acquisitions by the Company:

	December 31,		September 30,
	2017		2017
Goodwill	$	2,722,985	$	2,722,985
Acquisition of Rasna and its subsidiaries	—		—
Net Book Value	$	2,722,985	$	2,722,985

The Company  performed an impairment analysis and no impairment was determined. Therefore no impairment was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and the period ended September 30, 2017.

Intangible Assets

On December 17, 2013 the Company’s shareholder, Panetta Partners Limited, transferred 5,000,000 of its shares in Arna Therapeutics Limited to Eurema Consulting S.r.l. and 5,000,000 shares in Arna Therapeutics Limited to TES Pharma S.r.l. In exchange for the shares, Panetta Partners Limited obtained intellectual property ("Platform Technology") from TES Pharma S.r.l and Eurema Consulting S.r.l. Panetta Partners Limited then assigned the Platform Technology to Arna Therapeutics Limited, which was accounted for as a capital contribution. The fair value of the shares exchanged for the IPR&D was $0.13 per share; in addition the issue price for shares in October 2013 was $0.13 per share (shares issued post acquisition of the IPR&D were issued at $0.28) and accordingly the Company valued the Platform Technology at $1.3 million.

IPR&D relating to LSD-1, was acquired in the reverse acquisition of Rasna UK by Arna as of May 17, 2016. The Company retained a Clinical Research Organisation ("CRO") to perform all related research and development associated with LSD‐1. Based on review of the license agreement dated January 1, 2015, between the CRO and Rasna, the Company agreed to pay 100,002 Euros for costs incurred to date and to perform research and development on a going forward basis. Additionally, the Company entered into an amended license agreement whereby Rasna agreed to pay TTFactor an additional 435,000 Euros as of May 17, 2016, regarding services rendered between September 9, 2014 to May 17, 2016. Based on the cost approach, the IPR&D was valued at $613,100.

At the time of the acquisition, the Company had reasonably expected to use the Platform Technology, in the asset’s then current state, in two independent research projects that had not commenced as of the date of the acquisition. The Company’s research projects applied the conclusions reached in the Platform Technology to develop treatments for AML through reformulation of certain available pharmaceuticals and independent development of a new pharmaceutical treatment. Both research projects were initiated shortly after the Platform Technology was acquired and continue through the date of the financial statements.

At the time of acquisition, and at present, no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors were present that would constrain the useful life of the asset to the Company. The agreement to purchase the asset has no provisions that would limit the timeframe of use, legally, contractually or economically, and the asset remains a competitive platform for results in the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and lymphoma. Specifically, the agreement irrevocably assigns all rights and title to the Asset, without limitation or contingencies. No limitations or alternative technology has emerged that would suggest obsolescence or a change in the competitive landscape for the Platform Technology as of the most recent reporting period. In addition, the Company has concluded that the useful life of the Platform Technology at the time of acquisition was beyond a foreseeable horizon, and therefore the asset is classified as an indefinite lived intangible asset.

The IPR&D and intellectual property are considered to have an indefinite life and there were no impairment charges recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and the period ended September 30, 2017.

The following table summarizes the Company’s intangible assets as of the following periods: 

	December 31,		September 30,
	2017		2017		Estimated Useful Life
In-process research and development	$	613,100	$	613,100	Indefinite

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2016 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

On July 19, 2016, the Company adopted its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The plan was established to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. For the Equity Incentive Plan, employees, officers, directors and consultants who provide services to the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries may be selected to receive awards. A total of 9,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was authorized for issuance with respect to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The fair values of stock option grants during the three months ended December 31, 2017 were calculated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the period of service, generally the vesting period. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, no options were granted by the Company. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes options pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options for the three months ended December 31, 2017:

	Employee – Vesting Period				Non- Employee – Vesting Period
	1 Year	2 Years	3 Years	4Years	1 Year	2 Years	3 Years
Stock Price	$0.85	$0.85	$0.85	$0.85	$3.00	$3.00	$3.00
Expected life (years)	5.50	5.75	6.00	6.25	5.50	5.75	6.00
Expected volatility	82.40%	82.20%	81.90%	81.70%	86.60%	85.40%	89.00%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%	—%	—%	—%	—%	—%
Risk-free interest rate	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%	1.57%

The input assumptions used are as follows:

Discount rate —Based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations with maturities which correspond to the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

Dividend yield —The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

Expected volatility —Based on the historical volatility of seven different comparable Companys’ stock.

Expected term —The Company has had no stock options exercised since inception. The expected option term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment , (“SAB No. 107”), which averages an award’s weighted-average vesting period and expected term for “plain vanilla” share options. Under SAB No. 107, options are considered to be “plain vanilla” if they have the following basic characteristics: (i) granted “at-the-money”; (ii) exercisability is conditioned upon service through the vesting date; (iii) termination of service prior to vesting results in forfeiture; (iv) limited exercise period following termination of service; and (v) options are non-transferable and non-hedgeable.

The Company will continue to use the simplified method for the expected term until it has the historical data necessary to provide a reasonable estimate of expected life in accordance with SAB No. 107, as amended by SAB No. 110. For the expected term, the Company has “plain-vanilla” stock options, and therefore used a simple average of the vesting period and the contractual term for options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 as permitted by SAB No. 107.

Forfeitures —ASC Topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has estimated zero forfeiture.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended December 31, 2017:

	Number of Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option	Weighted Average remaining Contractual Life (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding balance at September 30, 2017	4,829,875	0.56	8.60	$5,975,874

Options exercisable at December 31, 2017	1,963,156	0.27	7.01	$	5,365,467

There were no options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, there was approximately $1,262,741 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017, $257,207 related to share based compensation to directors and employees which has been included within the general and administrative expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.  An additional ($32,225) related to non-employees has been included within the Consultancy fees third parties and related parties expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, $159,095 related to share based compensation to directors and employees which has been included within the general and administrative expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. An additional $91,445 related to non-employees has been included within the Consultancy fees third parties and related parties expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

WARRANTS

WARRANTS

On April 10, 2016, the Company incurred the obligation to issue warrants to placement agents relating to fundraising. The Company accounted for the obligation based on an estimate of the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes Model (“BSM”) and the Company recorded $484,009 as a liability and a reduction to proceeds of the equity offering (additional paid-in-capital). The Company assessed the fair value for each reporting period of the liability and recorded changes to additional paid-in capital. At February 28, 2017, the date the warrants were issued, the obligation was reversed to additional paid-in capital and no outstanding liability existed. Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the warrants issued as placement agent warrants are classified as equity in additional paid in capital. 

On July 3, 2017, the Company entered into a finders agreement with a placement agent whereby they incurred an obligation to issue warrants once a private placement has successfully been entered into. On August 31, 2017, the performance condition had been satisfied and the Company issued the related warrants. Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the warrants issued as placement agent warrants are classified as equity in additional paid in capital.

On September 1, 2017, the Company issued warrants to placement agents in lieu of fees for consultancy services to be provided over a period of 6 months. Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company determined that the warrants issued in lieu of consultancy fees are classified as equity in additional paid in capital.

The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance has been calculated based on the following inputs and assumptions using the Black Scholes Model:

	September 1, 2017	August 31, 2017	February 28, 2017
Fair value at issuance date	$1,420,456	$424,179	$2,914,884

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

License Agreements

In November 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with Profs. Falini and Martelli, wherein it obtained the exclusive rights related to the use or reformulation of Actinomycin D and intends to utilize these rights for the development of new product. In connection with this agreement, the Company was committed to paying milestone payments, the first being a EUR 50,000 payment to be paid six months after the agreement was signed. The payment was made to Profs. Falini and Martelli in June 2017.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the second milestone was achieved triggering a payment EUR 50,000 . This will be paid in February 2018.

The specific timing of the remaining milestones cannot be predicted and depend upon research and clinical developments. The Company expects to incur further payments of EUR 400,000 in respect of this agreement once milestones are achieved.

Lease Agreements

In January 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Bucks County Biotechnology Centre Inc in Doylestown Pennsylvania, where certain employees of the Company are based.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of preparation

Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates any entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. Further, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity that it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and have the power to direct its significant activities. Upon review of the relationship between Rasna Therapeutics Limited (“Rasna UK”) and Rasna Inc., Management noted that equity investment in Rasna UK is not sufficient to fund its operations. Accordingly, Rasna Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the assets held within Rasna UK, which primarily consist of cash received from Rasna Inc. to fund its operations, and has power to direct its significant activities. As a result, Rasna Inc. consolidates this variable interest entity.  

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary, Arna Therapeutics Limited as well as the operations of Rasna Inc. for the period from May 17, 2016 through December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations 

Management accounts for business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

The amounts reflected within the Note 3 - Acquisitions are the results of the final valuation report of the purchase price allocation.

Going Concern

Going Concern

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other pre-commercial stage companies, including its dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, testing, and obtaining related regulatory approvals of its pipeline products, suppliers and collaborators, successful protection of intellectual property, competition with larger, better-capitalized companies, successful completion of the Company's development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years, and at December 31, 2017, had an accumulated deficit of $14,302,519, a net loss for the for the three months ended December 31, 2017 of $2,003,451 and net cash used in operating activities of $1,255,239.  

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months. The Company has sufficient funds to continue operating until the end of November 2018, but will require significant additional cash resources to launch new development phases of existing products in its pipeline. In the event that the Company is unable to secure the necessary additional cash resources needed, the Company may slow current development phases or halt new development phases in order to mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the fair values of stock based awards, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value

Fair Value

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such financial instruments. Management measures certain other assets   at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of related party receivables.

Deposits held with banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. Management believes that the institutions that hold our instruments are financially sound and are subject to minimal credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

From time to time, the Company’s balances in its bank accounts exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company will periodically evaluate the risk of exceeding insured levels and might transfer funds if it deems appropriate. The Company has not experienced any losses with regards to balances in excess of insured limits or as a result of other concentrations of credit risk.

Prepayments and other receivables

Prepayments and other receivables

Prepayments consists of prepaid Directors and Officers liability insurance.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Expenditures for additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is computed in a straight line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of the major classes of depreciable assets are 2 to 5 years for equipment and furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The Company periodically evaluates whether current events or circumstances indicate that the carrying life of the depreciable assets may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and Intangible assets

Goodwill and Intangible assets

Intangible assets are made up of indefinite lived intangible assets, in-process research and development, (“IPR&D”) and certain intellectual property (“IP”). The balance of the indefinite lived intangible assets represents the platform technology that was acquired in 2013, which, at the time, was determined to have alternative future uses. IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to acquired technologies in a business combination, which at the time of the business combination have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IP assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies, which at the time of acquisition have reached technological feasibility, however, have not yet been put into service. Intangible assets are considered to have an indefinite useful life until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects.

Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only when the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews indefinite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, and other risks associated with an early stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Research and development

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the statements of operations in the year in which it is incurred with the exception of expenditures incurred in respect of the development of major new products where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain in regards to viability and technical feasibility. Such expenditure is capitalized and amortized straight line over the estimated period of sale for each product, commencing in the year that sales of the product are first made. To date, the Company has not capitalized any such expenditures other than certain IPR&D & IP recorded in connection with certain acquisition or equity transactions.

Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using their functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”), which is the company’s functional and presentational currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the rate of exchange applicable at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-translation at the year-end of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations.

Net Loss per Share

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period.

Equity-Based Payments

Equity-Based Payments

ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the estimated fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company accounts for shares of common stock, stock options and warrants issued to employees based on the fair value of the stock, stock option or warrant, if that value is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration or services received.

The Company accounts for stock options issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50 “Equity -Based Payment to Non-Employees” and accordingly the value of the stock compensation to non-employees is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Accordingly the fair value of these options is being “marked to market” quarterly until the measurement date is determined.

Income taxes

Income taxes

On December 22, 2017, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law and has resulted in significant change to the U.S corporate income tax system.  These changes include a federal statutory rate reduction from 35% to 21%, a transition tax which applies to the repatriate of foreign earnings and profits, the elimination or reduction of certain domestic deductions and credits and limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation. 

Changes in tax rates and tax laws are accounted for in the period of enactment.  Therefore, during the three month period ended December 31, 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit totaling $4,301 related to our current estimate of the impact of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, seeking to eliminate diversity in practice related to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows.

The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company expects to adopt this ASU described above in its Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement cash flows. The new standard is expected to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Management has evaluated the effects of ASU 2016-18 and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt this ASU described above in its Consolidated Financial Statements beginning in October 1, 2018. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which addresses the concerns over the cost and complexity of the two-step impairment test, and removes the second step of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted in January 2017. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral. The ASU applies to issuers of financial instruments with down-round features. It amends (1) the classification of such instruments as liabilities or equity by revising the guidance in ASC 815 on the evaluation of whether instruments or embedded features with down-round provisions must be accounted for as derivative instruments and (2) the guidance on recognition and measurement of the value transferred upon the trigger of a down-round feature for equity-classified instruments by revising ASC 260. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated and concluded that there will be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
