BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

 

Nature of operations

 

Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric Biosciences, Inc.” “Enveric” or the “Company”) (formerly known as Ameri Holdings, Inc.) (“Ameri”) is a pharmaceutical company developing innovative, evidence-based cannabinoid medicines. The head office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida.

 

On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (as amended on May 6, 2020), (the “Jay Pharma Amalgamation Agreement”) with Jay Pharma Merger Sub, Inc., a company organized under the laws of Canada and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Jay Pharma Inc., a company organized under the laws of Canada (“Jay Pharma”), Jay Pharma ExchangeCo., Inc. a company organized under the laws of British Columbia and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ExchangeCo”), and Barry Kostiner, as the Company Representative, which provided that, among other things, Merger Sub and Jay Pharma would be amalgamated and would continue as one corporation (“Amalco”), with Amalco continuing as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ExchangeCo and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ameri, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Jay Pharma Amalgamation Agreement. On August 12, 2020, the Company, Jay Pharma and certain other signatories thereto entered into a tender agreement (the “Tender Agreement”), which provided that, among other things, Ameri would make a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Jay Pharma for the number of shares of Enveric common stock equal to the exchange ratio set forth in the Tender Agreement, and Jay Pharma would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameri, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement. The Tender Agreement terminated and replaced in its entirety the Jay Pharma Amalgamation Agreement. On December 30, 2020, the Company, Jay Pharma, Merger Sub, and ExchangeCo completed the Offer and Jay Pharma became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization and accordingly, the historical financial statements prior to the date of the business combination in these consolidated financial statements are those of Jay Pharma.

 

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with 1306432 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HoldCo”), 1306436 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Purchaser”), and MagicMed Industries Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“MagicMed”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company, indirectly through Purchaser, acquired all of the outstanding securities of MagicMed in exchange for securities of the Company by way of an amalgamation under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that, upon completion of the Amalgamation (as defined herein), the amalgamated corporation (“Amalco”) will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation was completed on September 16, 2021.

 

At the effective time of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), holders of outstanding common shares of MagicMed (the “MagicMed Shares”) received such number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Shares”) representing, together with the Company Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Converted Options (each as defined herein), approximately 36.6% of the issued and outstanding Company Shares (on a fully diluted basis). The MagicMed Shares were initially converted into Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), which immediately following the Amalgamation were redeemed for 0.000001 of a Company Share. Following such redemption, the shareholders of MagicMed received additional Company Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement) multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares held by each such shareholder. Additionally, following the Effective Time (i) each outstanding MagicMed stock option was converted into and became an option to purchase (the “Converted Options”) the number of Company Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares subject to such MagicMed stock option, and (ii) each holder of an outstanding MagicMed warrant (including Company Broker Warrants (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), the “Warrants”) received upon exercise of such Warrant that number of Company Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Amalgamation if, immediately prior to the date of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Date”), such holder had been the registered holder of the number of MagicMed Shares to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such holder’s Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time (the foregoing collectively, the “Amalgamation”). In aggregate, holders of MagicMed Shares received 9,951,217 Company Shares, representing approximately 31.7% of the Company Shares following the consummation of the Amalgamation. The maximum number of Company Shares to be issued by the Company as in respect of the Warrants and Converted Options shall not exceed 7,404,101 Company Shares.

 

The aggregate number of Company Shares that the Company issued in connection with the Amalgamation (collectively, the “Share Consideration”) was in excess of 20% of the Company’s pre-transaction outstanding Company Shares. Accordingly, the Company sought and received stockholder approval of the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company appointed, effective as of the Effective Time two individuals selected by MagicMed to the Company Board of Directors, Dr. Joseph Tucker and Dr. Brad Thompson.

 

The Amalgamation Agreement contained representations and warranties, closing deliveries and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction of this nature. The closing of the Amalgamation was conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the Share Consideration being approved for listing on Nasdaq, (ii) the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 registering the Share Consideration and (iii) the approval (a) of the MagicMed stockholders of the Amalgamation and (b) of the Company’s stockholders of each of the Amalgamation and the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation. The closing of the Amalgamation occurred on September 16, 2021.

 

MagicMed Industries develops and commercializes psychedelic-derived pharmaceutical candidates. MagicMed’s psychedelic derivatives library, the Psybrary, is an essential building block from which industry can develop new patented products. The initial focus of the Psybrary is on psilocybin and DMT derivatives, and it is then expected to be expanded to other psychedelics.

 

Liquidity and Other Uncertainties

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company is in a development stage and has incurred losses each year since inception and has experienced negative cash flows from operations in each year since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $60.7 million as of December 31, 2021. In February 2022, the Company executed an underwritten public offering, realizing net proceeds of approximately $9.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. Based on the current development plans, other operating requirements, and inclusive of the February 2022 public offering, the Company believes that, based on its current business plan, the existing cash on hand is sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of these consolidated financial statements.

 

During 2020 and continuing into 2021 and 2022, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID-19 (including its variants and mutations) and measures to prevent its spread impacted Enveric’s business in a number of ways. The impact of these disruptions and the extent of their adverse impact on the Company’s financial and operating results will be dictated by the length of time that such disruptions continue, which will, in turn, depend on the currently unknowable duration and severity of the impacts of COVID-19, and among other things, the impact of governmental actions imposed in response to COVID-19 and individuals’ and companies’ risk tolerance regarding health matters going forward and developing strain mutations.
