SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2018 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Business and Basis of Presentation – Enochian BioSciences, Inc., formerly DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc. (“Enochian”, or “Registrant”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) engages in the research and development, manufacturing and clinical trials of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of HIV and cancer in humans. The Registrant was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 18, 2011. On March 2, 2018, the Registrant amended its articles of incorporation changing the name of the Company to Enochian BioSciences, Inc.

 

Subsidiaries

 

 Enochian Biopharma Inc. (“Enochian Biopharma”) was incorporated on May 19, 2017 in Delaware and is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Enochian Biopharma owns a perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable, and sole and exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, use, sell, have sold, make, have made, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialize certain intellectual property in cellular therapies for the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy exclusively for HIV in humans, and research and development exclusively relating to HIV in humans (the “Field”). The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Enochian Biopharma from the date of the acquisition which was completed on February 16, 2018.

 

DanDrit BioTech ApS, a Danish corporation was incorporated on April 1, 2001 (“DanDrit Denmark”) and is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Registrant (subject to 86,490 shares of common stock of DanDrit Denmark or 2.20% of outstanding shares to be acquired with the 129,596 shares of common stock of the Registrant (“Common Stock”) held in escrow according to Danish law (the “Escrow Shares”)). DanDrit Denmark engages in the research and development, manufacturing and clinical trials of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of cancer in humans. On November 15, 2018, the Company changed the name of DanDrit BioTech ApS to Enochian BioSciences Denmark ApS.

 

 Acquisition of Enochian Biopharma- On January 12, 2018, the Registrant, DanDrit Acquisition Sub, Inc., (“Acquisition Sub”), Enochian Biopharma and Weird Science, LLC (“Weird Science”) entered into an agreement to acquire Enochian Biopharma (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which on February 16, 2018, Enochian Biopharma became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Enochian Biopharma received (i) 18,081,962 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant and (ii) the right to receive earn-out shares of Common Stock (“Contingent Shares”) pro rata upon the exercise or conversion of warrants which were outstanding at closing. As of June 30, 2018, 6,488,122 Contingent Shares are contingently issuable in connection with the Acquisition of Enochian Biopharma. On December 27, 2018, 1,307,693 Contingent Shares were issued to the stockholders of Enochian Biopharma in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement. At December 31, 2018, 5,180,429 Contingent Shares remained unissued.

 

Year End – In June 2015, DanDrit USA’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a change to its fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30.

 

Consolidation — For the three months and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Registrant, Enochian BioSciences Denmark ApS, and Enochian Biopharma. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Functional Currency / Foreign currency translation — The functional currency of Enochian BioSciences Denmark ApS is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during periods ended December 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as incurred. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured States amounts at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 of $12,990,240 and $15,350,865 respectively.

 

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from four to ten years (See Note 2).

 

Intangible Assets —Definite life intangible assets include patents and licenses. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. License agreements cost represent the Fair Value of the license agreement on the date acquired. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application.

 

Goodwill —Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually in the fiscal fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then it is concluded that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value.

 

The carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2018, was $11.64 million. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, patents and licenses are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use is their respective fair values.

Value Added Tax — In Denmark, Value Added Tax (“VAT”) of 25% of the invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities. VAT of 25% is also paid to Danish and EU vendors on invoices. These amounts are refundable from the respective governmental authority and recorded as other receivables in the accompanying financial statements.

Research and Development Expenses — The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the HIV and cancer therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for HIV and cancer. Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively amounted to $788,968 and $219,969, respectively and for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, amounted to $1,282,523 and $373,621, respectively.

 

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.

 

Loss Per Share — The Company calculates earnings/(loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised. Because of the net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 5,583,520 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of December 31, 2018.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

  Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

 

The following table sets forth the liabilities at December 31, 2018, which is recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

  

          Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

Active Markets for
Identical Assets
    Significant Other

          (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)  
                                 
Contingent Consideration Liability   $ 23,601,000     $ -     $  -     $ 23,601,000  

  

 

The roll forward of the contingent consideration liability is as follows: 

 

Balance June 30, 2018   $ 22,891,000
Fair value adjustment     710,000
Balance December 31, 2018   $ 23,601,000

 

Stock Options and Warrants - The Company has granted stock options to certain employees, officers and directors that were subsequently converted to Grant Warrants (see Note 5). During the three and six month periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has granted stock options and warrants. The Company accounts for options and warrants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Non-cash compensation costs for the vesting of options and warrants granted to officers, board members, employees and consultants for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $1,780,059 and $0, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $1,866,225 and $112,837, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation -The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation and ASC 505 - 50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the employees required service period, which is generally the vesting period. 

Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets, and fair value of equity instruments issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - On January 5, 2017 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This update amended the definition of a business, which is fundamental to the determination of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. That distinction impacts how the acquisition is treated in the financial statements, for instance, whether deal costs are capitalized or expensed. The primary goal of ASU 2017-01 was to narrow that definition, which is generally expected to result in fewer transactions qualifying as business combinations. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either financing or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, however early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

 

 Reclassification—There are no reclassifications for the periods presented.
