1.    GENERAL INFORMATION

Rasna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Rasna DE", "Rasna Inc.” or the "Company"), is a biotechnology company incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 28, 2016. The Company is engaged in modulating the molecular targets NPM1 and LSD1, which are implicated in the disease progression of leukemia and lymphoma. 

  

These unaudited condensed consolidated 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. 

  

Risks and Uncertainties 

  

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or ability to secure additional cash resources, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  

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.

 

Use of  Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 share 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 Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

 

 

 3.    LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has no present revenue and has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities since inception. 

 

The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next 12 months and 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 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 for a period of one year from the date of this filing. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern one year from the date of this filing. 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.

 

4.    SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

For the three months ended December 31, 2020  and December 31, 2019, $18,192 and $47,143 related to share based compensation to directors and employees respectively, has been included within the general and administrative expense category in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. No costs related to non-employees have been included within the consultancy fees expense category in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the three months ended December 31, 2020  and the three months ended December 31, 2019. 

As of December 31, 2020, there was $24,482 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.64 years.

5.    CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

Convertible note issued on August 8, 2018

On August 8, 2018, the Company entered into a 12% Convertible Promissory Note with High Octane Bioresearch Ltd. (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to the Holder. The Holder provided the Company with $135,000 in cash, which was received by the Company during the year ended September 30, 2020. The Company promised to pay the principal amount, together with guaranteed interest at the annual rate of 12%, with principal and accrued interest on the Note due and payable on August 9, 2019 (unless converted under terms and provisions as set forth within the Agreement). The Note provides the Holder with the right to convert, at any time, all or any part of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.65 per share or (ii) the price of the next financing during the 180 days after the date of the Agreement, subject to adjustments noted within the Agreement. The number of shares issuable upon a conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price. The Note requires the Company to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock the amount of shares that would be issued upon conversion of the Note, which includes the outstanding principal amount of the Note and interest accrued and to be accrued through the date of maturity.   

  

In relation to the Convertible Promissory Note, the Company has also entered into an agreement with Garcer Bioventures, a broker who introduced the Holder to the Company. Under the terms of this agreement, should the Holder convert its principal amount into common stock of the Company, the Company will issue to Garcer Bioventures the number of shares equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock issued to High Octane upon such conversion. 

  

In July 2019, the Company extended the maturity date of the Convertible Promissory Note from August 8, 2019  to August 8, 2020  All other terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes remained the same. The Amended Convertible Promissory Notes were accounted for as a modification of the original Convertible Promissory Notes as the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion option featured in the Convertible Promissory Notes immediately before and after the amendment did not exceed 10% of the carrying amount of the Convertible Promissory Notes.

  

On August 8, 2020, the maturity date of the 12% Convertible Promissory Note with High Octane Bioresearch Ltd. entered into on August 8, 2018, was further extended until 8 September 2020. All other terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes remained the same.  The Amended Convertible Promissory Notes were accounted for as a modification of the original Convertible Promissory Notes as the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion option featured in the Convertible Promissory Notes immediately before and after the amendment did not exceed 10% of the carrying amount of the Convertible Promissory Notes.

  

As at December 31, 2020, and through to the date of this filing, this note payable is past due and is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The note continues to accrue interest and all relevant penalties have been accrued as of December 31, 2020. The Company has issued an amended and restated  Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 7).

The Company has also entered into another agreement with Garcer Bioventures in lieu of fees, under the same terms as the earlier agreement.

  

In July 2019, the Company extended the maturity date of the Convertible Promissory Note from October 19, 2019 to October 19, 2020, respectively. All other terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes remained the same.  The Amended Convertible Promissory Notes were accounted for as a modification of the original Convertible Promissory Notes as the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion option featured in the Convertible Promissory Notes immediately before and after the amendment did not exceed 10% of the carrying amount of the Convertible Promissory Notes.

  

As at the date of this filing, this note payable is past due. The note continues to accrue interest and all relevant penalties.  The Company has issued an amended and restated  Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 7).

As at the date of this filing, this note payable is past due.

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 and convertible notes.

 

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

 

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.

  

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

The Company is currently looking into raising funds to progress its R&D pipeline.

 

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 US 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 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.

 

The Company has determined that it was not subject to any new accounting pronouncements that became effective during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

 

Basis of preparation 

 

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

 

Liquidity and 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 no present revenue and have experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities since inception, and at December 31, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of $22,830,343, a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020 of $154,941 and net cash used in operating activities of $50,890 for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

 

We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next twelve months and 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 our ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date of this filing. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern one year from the date of this filing. 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.

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, 2020 and 2019

 

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

 

Revenues

 

There were no revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 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, 2020 increased to $154,941 from $149,281 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $5,660. The increase is primarily attributable to a reduction in general and administrative costs, reflecting the decreased activity in the Company (approximately $27,000), a reduction in consultancy fees of ($16,250) due to the departure of the CFO,  offset by an increase in legal and professional fees $50,000, which is due to the reversal of unpaid bonus accruals in 2019. The decreased activity is a result of the Company having insufficient cash resources to fund its operations.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased to $171,862 from $158,042 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $13,820. The increase is primarily attributable a  reduction in general and administrative costs, reflecting the decreased activity in the Company (approximately $27,000), a reduction in consultancy fees of ($16,250) due to the departure of the CFO,  offset by an increase in legal and professional fees $50,000, which is due to the reversal of unpaid bonus accruals in 2019.  In addition there was an increase of approximately $8,000 for additional interest charged for promissory notes. The decreased activity is a result of the Company having insufficient cash resources to fund its operations.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

We believe we will require significant additional cash resources to continue to launch new development phases of existing products in the Company's pipeline. In the event that we are 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 our ability to continue as a going concern. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support our cost structure. 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.

On October 21, 2020, we issued  a 12% convertible promissory note (the “Note”) to an investor, in the principal amount of $40,000 with a maturity date of October 21, 2021. The Note  is convertible by the holder at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.05 per share or (ii) the price of the next financing during the 180 days after the date of the Note. If the holder has not converted the Note into common stock by the maturity date, we must repay the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest. 

All notes contain an anti-dilution provision, which adjusts the conversion price in the event of an issuance by us of common stock below the then effective conversion price. All of these notes were amended and restated in February 2021. The mayurity date of the notes were extended to December 31, 20201 and the conversion price amended to $0.01 per share.

On April 16, 2020, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Tiziana pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of the intellectual property relating to a nanoparticle-based formulation of Act D to Tiziana in exchange for an upfront payment of $120,000 and milestone payments of up to an aggregate $630,000.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net 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 $50,890 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $79,432 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The net loss of $171,862 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was partially offset primarily by non-cash share based compensation of $18,192, interest accrued on the Convertible Loan Notes of $1,440, interest accrued on convertible loan notes of $16,132, depreciation expense of $314 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $84,894.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities consists of proceeds from the issuance of a convertible note of  $40,000  in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $57,500 of proceeds from the issuance of a convertible note during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

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.  

 

 

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 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, 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,  the Chief Executive 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.
