GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS [Abstract]

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:


	June 30,		September 30,
	2018		2017
Goodwill	$	2,722,985	$	2,722,985

The Company performed an impairment analysis and no impairment was determined. Therefore no impairment was recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 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 nine months ended June 30, 2018 and the period ended September 30, 2017.

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


	June 30,		September 30,
	2018		2017		Estimated
	(Unaudited)				Useful Life
In-process research and development	$	613,100	$	613,100	Indefinite
Intellectual Property		236,239		236,269	Indefinite
Indefinite lived intangible asset		1,300,000		1,300,000	Indefinite
	$	2,149,339	$	2,149,369
