ACQUISITIONS

3.    ACQUISITIONS

The following transactions were accounted for using the acquisition accounting method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair value.

On May 5, 2016, Rasna UK sold its intellectual property to Falconridge, a subsidiary of Rasna, for a note payable in the amount of $236,269. Rasna UK is considered a VIE and consolidated in these financial statements, however, is not an entity under common control as Rasna controlled both Falconridge and Rasna UK at the time of the transaction, this transaction eliminates on consolidation.

On May 17, 2016, Rasna and its subsidiary Falconridge entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with Arna. Pursuant to the agreement, Arna was merged into Falconridge and the shareholders of Arna were issued shares of Rasna in exchange for shares of Arna. Arna was deemed to be the accounting acquirer because Rasna and Falconridge Holdings Limited were non-trading holding companies and Arna’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity and its senior management will serve as the senior management of the combined entity. Further, 65% of the voting interest in Rasna was acquired by Arna shareholders in connection with the transaction. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, Rasna, were written to fair value in accordance with the Acquisition Method prescribed in ASC 805, Business Combinations.

The consideration transferred was measured based upon the share price recently received during a non-public equity raise in Rasna, during which non-related investors paid $0.40 per share of common stock. During the acquisition transaction, 19,187,500 of 54,837,790 shares were issued to legacy Rasna shareholders, which results in consideration transferred to the acquiree’s shareholders of $7,675,000.

In addition, $607,159 of a related party receivable due to Arna from Rasna UK, was forgiven as part of the consideration transferred.

The purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition is set forth in the table below. As per the purchase accounting method, the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.

The Company’s allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition was calculated as follows:

	Balance as of
	May 17, 2016
Share consideration transferred	$	7,675,000
Forgiveness of receivable	607,159
Consideration transferred	$	8,282,159
Less: Fair value of assets acquired
Cash and cash equivalents	(5,116,609		)
Other receivables	(14,187		)
Prepayment	(66,856		)
Related party receivables	(20,412		)
Intellectual property	(236,269		)
In-Process research and development	(613,100		)
Plus: Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	492,603
Related party payables	15,656
Goodwill	$	2,722,985

Of the above assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the intellectual property acquired was owned by Falconridge  and the residual assets acquired and liabilities assumed comprised the VIE that was controlled by Rasna, Inc.

 Acquired In-Process Research and Development

Acquired IPR&D is the fair value of the LSD-1 asset at the acquisition date. The Company determined that the fair value of LSD-1 was $613,100 as of the acquisition date using the cost approach. This was based on the fact that LSD-1 was not yet technologically feasible or in use as of the valuation date. Also as no prospective revenue stream could be determined, the cost approach was deemed to be the most appropriate.

The Company retained a Clinical Research Organisation ("CRO") to perform all related research and development associated with LSD-1. As all research and development associated with LSD‐1 was performed by the CRO and no other contributions to LSD‐1 IPR&D were made beyond payments to the CRO, the Company considered the payments made to estimate the fair value of LSD‐1.

Active With Me, Inc.

On August 15, 2016, Active With Me, Inc., entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rasna, Inc., and Rasna Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rasna, Inc. (the “Merger”), with Rasna, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Active With Me, Inc. As a result of the Merger, the resulting company, 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 was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of Active With Me’s operations were disposed of prior to the consummation of the transaction.  Rasna Successor is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Exchange Agreement, even though Active With Me, Inc. was the legal acquirer.  As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of Rasna Successor as if Rasna Successor had always been the reporting company.  Since Active With Me, Inc. 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.

Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Rasna Successor to a former officer and director of Active With Me, Inc. in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Rasna Successor’s common stock held by such person.

In connection with the share exchange, each share of Rasna, Inc was exchanged for the right to receive .33 shares in Active With Me, Inc. Once issued, the new shares were combined with the 3,305,000 common shares held by legacy Active With Me, Inc. shareholders. Immediately following the Merger, 1,500,000 shares were canceled, which related to one legacy Active With Me shareholder that effectively spun off the remaining assets of Active With Me in connection with the transaction. Finally, subsequent to the transaction, the legal acquirer executed a 3.25 for 1 stock split on its common shares. Following the closing of the Merger and Rasna Successor’s cancellation of 1,500,000 shares in the Split-Off, there were 19,901,471 shares of Rasna Successor issued and outstanding, which once effected for the 3.25 for 1 reverse stock split, resulted in 64,679,798 shares outstanding in the combined entity.
