Exhibit 99.1

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
180 Life Sciences Corp.
(formerly known as CannBioRx Life Sciences Corp.)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 180 Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DECEMBER 31, 2019

 

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

180 Life Sciences Corp. (“180”, f/k/a CannBioRx Life Sciences Corp.) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 28, 2019 (180 collectively with its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as the “Company”). 180 is located in the United States (“U.S.”), and is a medical pharmaceutical company focused upon unmet medical needs in the areas of chronic pain, inflammation, inflammatory diseases, and fibrosis by employing innovative research and, where appropriate, combination therapies, through its three wholly owned subsidiaries, Katexco Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“Katexco”), CannBioRex Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“CBR Pharma”), and 180 Therapeutics L.P. (“180 LP”). Katexco, CBR Pharma and 180 LP are together, the “180 Subsidiaries.” Additionally, 180’s wholly owned subsidiaries Katexco Callco, ULC, Katexco Purchaseco, ULC, CannBioRex Callco, ULC, and CannBioRex Purchaseco, ULC were formed in the Canadian Province of British Columbia on May 31, 2019 to facilitate the acquisition of Katexco, CBR Pharma and 180 LP, as described below.

 

Katexco is a medical pharmaceutical company researching and developing orally available therapies harnessing endocannabinoid and nicotine receptors to treat inflammatory diseases. CBR Pharma is a pharmaceutical research company specializing in the clinical development of synthetic pharmaceutical grade cannabinoid compounds for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and related arthritic diseases. 180 LP is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of biologic therapies for the treatment of fibrosis.

 

On July 16, 2019, 180, Katexco, CBR Pharma and 180 LP consummated a reorganization wherein 180 acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Katexco, CBR Pharma, and 180 LP (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, and Katexco is deemed to be the accounting acquirer, while 180, CBR Pharma and 180 LP are deemed to be the “Accounting Acquirees”. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these consolidated financial statements prior to the Reorganization are those of Katexco. Katexco was incorporated on March 7, 2018 under the provisions of the British Corporation Act of British Columbia. The preferred stock, common stock, additional paid in capital and earnings per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the Reorganization have been restated to reflect the recapitalization based on the shares issued to the Katexco shareholders. References herein to the “Company” are to Katexco for the period prior to the Reorganization and are to 180 (as combined with the 180 Subsidiaries) after the Reorganization.

 

On July 25, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with KBL Merger Corp. IV, a special-purpose acquisition company and public company (“KBL”) and KBL Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of KBL after the closing (the “Business Combination”). The Merger Sub will purchase 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of the Company as of the date of closing in exchange for 17.5 million shares of KBL common stock, reduced by the number of shares equal to the amount of any liabilities of the Company in excess of $5 million at the closing divided by $10. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon (i) stockholder and any necessary regulatory approvals, (ii) the effectiveness of a registration statement; and (iii) KBL having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets. The Business Combination is deemed to be a capital transaction of 180 (the legal acquiree) for accounting purposes and is equivalent to the issuance of shares by 180 for the net monetary assets of KBL, accompanied by a recapitalization. See Note 16 — Subsequent Events — Business Combination Update.

 

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred a significant loss since Inception. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $25,394,046 and used $3,318,654 of cash in operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $37,473,580 and a working capital deficit of $8,892,514. The Company expects to invest a significant amount of capital to fund research and development. As a result, the Company expects that its operating expenses will increase significantly, and consequently will require significant revenues to become profitable. Even if the Company does become profitable, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company cannot predict when, if ever, it will be profitable. There can be no assurance that the intellectual property of the Company, or other technologies it may acquire, will meet applicable regulatory standards, obtain required regulatory approvals, be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at reasonable costs, or be successfully marketed. The Company plans to undertake additional laboratory studies with respect to the intellectual property, and there can be no assurance that the results from such studies or trials will result in a commercially viable product or will not identify unwanted side effects.

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS (cont.)

  

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon the continuing support of its creditors and its success in obtaining new financing for its ongoing operations, including closing on the Business Combination with KBL. Financing options available to the Company include equity financings and loans and if the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing timely, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, and could ultimately be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is defined as within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Realization of the Company’s assets may be substantially different from the carrying amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may become necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the historical accounts of Katexco as accounting acquirer (see Note 4 — Reorganization and Recapitalization) and, effective with the closing of the Reorganization, the accounting acquirees. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the fair value of equity shares, the valuation of intangible assets in acquisition accounting, the useful lives of long-lived assets and the recovery of notes receivable and other assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and may cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Accounting for Business Combinations

 

As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company records acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting, under which the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are initially recorded at their respective fair values and any excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired is reflected as goodwill. The Company uses estimates and, in some instances, independent third-party valuation firms to assist in determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent consideration, if any. Such estimates and valuations require significant assumptions, including projections of future events and operating performance. The estimated fair values are subject to change during the measurement period, which is limited to one year subsequent to the acquisition date.

Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date (0.7689 and 0.7329 for the CAD, 1.3262 and 1.2741 for the GBP as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period (0.7568 and 0.7660 for the CAD and 1.2613 and 1.2994 for the GBP for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from March 7, 2018 through December 31, 2018, respectively). Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of an entity from all sources other than investments by owners or distributions to owners and includes foreign currency translation adjustments as described above. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from March 8, 2018 (Inception) through December 31, 2018, the Company recorded other comprehensive gain/(loss) of ($160,745) and $313,548, respectively, as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations. The Company recorded $7,652 and ($5,618) of foreign currency transaction gains/(losses) for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from March 7, 2018 (Inception) through December 31, 2018, respectively. Such amounts have been classified within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in the financial statements. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019 or 2018. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had bank accounts in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company’s cash deposits in United States, Canadian and English financial institutions may at times may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”) insurance limits, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had uninsured balances of CAD $0 and CAD $660,945 ($484,407), respectively, with the CDIC.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consists primarily of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and leasehold improvements and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related asset (5 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the original term of the lease, plus reasonably expected renewal terms, or the estimated useful life of the improvement.

 

Intangible Assets and In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)

 

Intangible assets consist of licensed patents held by Katexco as well as technology licenses acquired in connection with the Reorganization. Licensed patents are amortized over the remaining life of the patent. Technology licenses acquired for the development and commercialization of certain licenses and knowledge are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the underlying patents. It will be necessary to monitor and possibly adjust the useful lives of the licensed patents and technology licenses depending on the results of the Company’s research and development activities.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

  

IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies that were acquired on July 16, 2019 in connection with the Reorganization, which have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During the period that the IPR&D assets are considered indefinite-lived, they are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the IPR&D assets are less than their carrying amounts. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs upon regulatory approval, and the Company is able to commercialize products associated with the IPR&D assets, these assets are then deemed definite-lived and are amortized based on their estimated useful lives at that point in time. If development is terminated or abandoned, the Company may record a full or partial impairment charge related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the IPR&D assets over their estimated fair value.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. An impairment exists when the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its estimated fair value. No impairment charges were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from March 7, 2018 (Inception) through December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Impairment of Goodwill

 

When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company assesses qualitative factors for our reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If impairment is more likely than not, the Company will perform a quantitative test of impairment. At December 31, 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to identify and evaluate events and circumstances to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units is less than their carrying amounts. Based on the Company’s qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that a positive assertion can be made that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values and no impairment of goodwill was identified at December 31, 2019.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and

 

Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting primarily of notes receivable, loans payable and convertible notes payable, approximate their fair values as presented in these consolidated financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

 

Convertible Notes

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Bifurcated embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument.

 

If the instrument is determined to not be a derivative liability, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) by comparing the commitment date fair value to the effective conversion price of the instrument. The Company records a BCF as debt discount which is amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective note using the effective interest method. BCFs that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recognized when the contingency is resolved.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from March 7, 2018 (Inception) through December 31, 2018, the Company incurred $1,887,402 and $895,236, respectively, of research and development expenses.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and is estimated by management based on observations of the recent cash sales prices of common stock. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before these financial statements were issued. Based upon that evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 16, Subsequent Events.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 . The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10 “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”), ASU No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”) in July 2018, and ASU No. 2018-20 “Leases (Topic 842) — Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors” (“ASU 2018-20”) in December 2018. ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-20 provide certain amendments that affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 allows all entities adopting ASU 2016-02 to choose an additional (and optional) transition method of adoption, under which an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating these ASUs and their impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements associated with fair value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal years after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) — Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date (“ASU 2020-02”) which provides clarifying guidance and minor update to ASU No. 2016-13 — Financial Instruments — Credit Loss (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”) and related to ASU No. 2016-02 — Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2020-02 amends the effective date of ASU 2016-13, such that ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issue Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”). This new standard addresses the diversity that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” (“ASU 2017-11”). Among other things, ASU 2017-11 provides guidance that eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s stock and need to be classified as liabilities. ASU 2017-11 provides for entities to recognize the effect of a down round feature only when it is triggered. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 on July 1, 2019 and the adoption had no immediate impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). The new standard makes changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 — REORGANIZATION AND RECAPITALIZATION

 

On July 16, 2019, in connection with the Reorganization, the Company issued an aggregate of 50,808 shares of common stock, and 2 shares of preferred stock which are convertible into an aggregate of 17,763 shares of common stock at the option of the holders, to the former shareholders of CBR Pharma and 180 LP, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of CBR Pharma and 180 LP. Of the 50,808 shares of common stock issued in connection with the Reorganization, 16,000 shares issued to a consultant were subject to redemption by 180 (the “Contingently Redeemable Shares”) for an aggregate redemption price of $4.00 if (i) the closing of the Business Combination did not occur on or prior to October 31, 2019; or (iii) the consultant terminated its service with 180 prior to October 31, 2019. On November 11, 2019, the Company agreed to waive its right of redemption in connection with the Contingently Redeemable Shares. See Note 13, Stockholders’ Equity (Deficiency), Contingently Redeemable Shares.

 

The Reorganization as described in Note 1, Business Organization and Nature of Operations was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, with Katexco being the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes.

(1)Includes $588,349 related to prepaid research and development expenses with Oxford University. See Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies.
(2)Changes in the balance of technology licenses, in process research and development and goodwill reflected on the balance sheet are the result of the impact of the change in foreign currency exchange rates.
(3)Represents deferred income associated with the Reformation Pharmaceuticals Agreement. See Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Management, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, valued the technology licenses and the in-process research and development utilizing the cost approach. The goodwill is attributed to (a) synergies arising from the overlap of clinical research among the entities; (b) the benefit of future market, drug and product development; and (c) the benefit of revenue growth from both areas. The deferred tax liability relates to the book-tax basis difference associated with the intangible assets at an estimated tax rate of 26%, which is an estimate of the blended United States and Canadian federal and state/province effective income tax rates.

180 LIFE SCIENCES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019

 

NOTE 11 — CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (cont.)

 

The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum and matured on November 15, 2019. Any accrued and unpaid interest portion is capitalized to principal on a monthly basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Notes, the maturity date may be extended an additional 30 days at the option of the Company if the Securities and Exchange Commission’s review of the documents filed in connection with the Business Combination has taken more than 30 days. In the event of an event of default: a) the Company is required to notify the holders of these notes (the “Holders”) within one business day of any such occurrence; b) the interest rate increases to 18% per annum; and c) the Holder may require the Company to redeem any or all of the outstanding principal and interest together with a 25% premium.

 

The Senior Notes rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and are secured by: a) the Company’s equity interests in its subsidiaries; b) guarantees issued by those subsidiaries; and c) assets of those subsidiaries.

 

The Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and any outstanding late charges, automatically convert into common shares immediately prior to the occurrence of the Business Combination at the conversion price of $740.37 per share. If the Company issues any shares of its common stock or securities that are effectively common stock equivalents prior to the Business Combination at a price of less than $740.37 per share, then the conversion price per share will be adjusted so that the Holders receive the same conversion price. The above represents a contingent beneficial conversion feature that will be accounted for when the contingency is resolved. As of December 31, 2019, the contingently adjustable, non-bifurcated beneficial conversion features associated with the Senior Notes were not resolved.

 

Amended Senior Note

 

On July 25, 2019, the Company issued a Senior Note in the amount of $900,000, with the same original terms as described in Senior Notes, above, which was amended on December 11, 2019 (the “Amended Senior Note”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Senior Note, the maturity date of the Amended Senior Note was extended to February 28, 2020. Further, each $100,000 of principal outstanding under the Amended Senior Notes is convertible at the option of the holder into 135,067 shares of common stock at any time following issuance until maturity. In connection with the amendment, the holder waived all events of default associated with the Senior Note and the aggregate principal amount of the notes was adjusted to $1,405,695. See Note 16 — Subsequent Events for details regarding the amendment and extension of the Amended Senior Note.

 

The Company accounted for the exchange of the Senior Note for the Amended Senior Note as a note extinguishment as a result of the debt instruments being substantially different with regard to the present value of the cash flows, and accordingly the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $703,188 in connection with the derecognition of the carrying amount of the extinguished Senior Note of $953,346 (consisting of $949,390 of principal and $3,956 of accrued interest) and the issuance of the Amended Senior Note in the principal amount of $1,405,695 (consisting of $949,390 of the outstanding principal of the Senior Note, $3,956 of accrued interest reclassified to principal, $200,000 of restructuring fees and $252,349 of redemption premiums), plus the immediately recognized beneficial conversion feature of $250,839 arising from the modified conversion terms of the Amended Senior Note.

 

Bridge Note

 

Effective December 27, 2019, the Company issued an investor a senior unsecured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000. The convertible note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum, compounding monthly, and provides for a maturity date on the earlier of an effective registration statement, an event of default or June 30, 2020. The convertible note automatically converts into a portion of the 17.5 million shares of KBL common stock to be received upon the consummation of the Business Combination Agreement at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.00 per KBL share or 60% of the implied valuation at such time, as defined. The Company may elect to prepay the note at any time without penalty, however, the holder may elect to receive shares of common stock of the Company in lieu of prepayment at the holder’s discretion.

NOTE 11 — CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (cont.)

 

The Company analyzed the embedded conversion option of the convertible note at issuance and determined the embedded conversion option contains a contingent beneficial conversion feature that will be accounted for when the contingency is resolved. As of December 31, 2019, the contingently adjustable, non-bifurcated beneficial conversion feature associated with the convertible note was not resolved.

 

180 LP Convertible Notes

 

In connection with the Reorganization, the Company assumed $270,000 of debt related to convertible notes payable (the “Notes”), of which $10,000 is owed to the Chief Executive Officer and $260,000 is owed to a founder and director of the Company.

 

Principal of $160,000 due under the Notes accrues interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum and principal of $110,000, accrues interest at 2.5% per annum. Interest is compounded annually. Effective upon the closing of the first issuance of convertible preferred units (or units with similar rights) with proceeds of at least $1,000,000 (the “Qualified Financing”), all of the outstanding principal and interest under these Notes will automatically be converted into other equity interests of the Company of the same class issued to other investors in the Qualified Financing, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the price per unit of the Qualified Financing securities paid by the other investors. The Notes contain contingent beneficial conversion features, which will be accounted for at the time the conversion price is known, and the contingency is resolved.

 

Interest on Convertible Notes

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from March 7, 2018 (Inception) through December 31, 2018, the Company recorded interest expense of $123,112 and $0, respectively, related to convertible notes payable, and recorded interest expense — related parties of $17,827 and $0, respectively, related to convertible notes payable — related parties. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company capitalized an aggregate of $105,641 of accrued interest and $9,604 of accrued interest — related parties, respectively, to note principal.

NOTE 14 — INCOME TAXES (cont.)

 

The Company has assessed the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires that such a review considers all available positive and negative evidence, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. After the performance of such reviews as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of those dates. Thus, the Company established valuation reserves of $2,031,811 in connection with the net deferred tax assets acquired in connection with the Reorganization described in Note 1 during the year ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, the Company recorded increases in the valuation allowance of $1,945,821 and $942,251 in connection with the tax provisions for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from March 7, 2018 (Inception) to December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

 

No tax audits were commenced or were in process during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from March 7, 2018 (Inception) to December 31, 2018. No tax related interest or penalties were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period from March 7, 2018 (Inception) to December 31, 2018. The Company’s tax returns filed in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom filed since inception remain subject to examination, with the exception of the tax returns file for the 180 LP pass through entity whose tax returns remain subject to examination beginning with the 2016 tax return.

COVID-19 Update

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy continue to be impacted for an extended period, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, the ability to complete the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others. As of June 30, 2020, COVID-19 has delayed and paused patient follow ups in one of the Company’s clinical trials to the end 2021.

Business Combination Update

 

See Note 1 — Business Organization and Nature of Operations for additional information related to the Company’s Business Combination Agreement with KBL.

 

On January 29, 2020, KBL and the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties extended the termination date under the Business Combination Agreement from December 9, 2019 to April 9, 2020. The purpose of the extension was to provide the parties with additional time to complete the Business Combination and the other transactions as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. No other changes were made to the Business Combination Agreement.

 

On June 2, 2020, KBL received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that it was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Rules’). In the Notice, Nasdaq advised KBL that, pursuant to Rule IM-5101-2, a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of the SPAC’s initial public offering. Since KBL’s registration statement for its initial public offering became effective on June 1, 2017, it was required to complete its initial business combination by no later than June 1, 2020. Such rule also provides that if KBL does not comply with the above requirement, Nasdaq will issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 to delist the Company’s securities. Accordingly, Nasdaq advised KBL that its securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market and, unless KBL requested an appeal of such determination, its securities would be suspended from trading at the opening of business on June 11, 2020 and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission removing the Company’s securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Stock Market. KBL appealed the Staff’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. The hearing was held on July 16, 2020. On July 17, 2020, KBL received a letter stating that the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing through November 9, 2020 on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the conditions set forth in the letter.

 

On August 7, 2020, KBL and the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties extended the termination date under the Business Combination Agreement to November 9, 2020. The purpose of the extension was to provide the parties with additional time to complete the Business Combination and the other transactions as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. No other changes were made to the Business Combination Agreement.
