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, the Company changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to September 30 and  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. 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 the Company after the Merger and  AWM was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the 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 the Company 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.
