RGIN Regenicin Inc (CE)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - THE COMPANY

Windstar, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 6, 2007. On July 19, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Regenicin, Inc. (“Regenicin”). In September 2013, Regenicin formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of conducting research in the State of Georgia (together, the “Company”). The subsidiary has no activity since its formation due to the lack of funding. The Company’s original business was the development of a purification device. Such business was assigned to the Company’s former management in July 2010. The Company adopted a new business plan and intended to develop and commercialize a potentially lifesaving technology by the introduction of tissue-engineered skin substitutes to restore the qualities of healthy human skin for use in the treatment of burns, chronic wounds and a variety of plastic surgery procedures.

The Company entered into a Know-How License and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Know-How SPA”) with Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (“Lonza Walkersville”) on July 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company paid Lonza Walkersville $3,000,000 and, in exchange, the Company was to receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the commercial sale of technology held by the Cutanogen Corporation (“Cutanogen”), a subsidiary of Lonza Walkersville. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company was entitled to receive certain related assistance and support from Lonza Walkersville upon payment of the $3,000,000. Under the Know-How SPA, once FDA approval was secured for the commercial sale of the technology, the Company would be entitled to acquire Cutanogen, Lonza Walkersville’s subsidiary, for $2,000,000 in cash. After prolonged attempts to negotiate disputes with Lonza Walkersville failed, on September 30, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Lonza Walkersville, Lonza Group Ltd. and Lonza America, Inc. (“Lonza”) in Fulton County Superior Court in the State of Georgia.

On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc., (“Amarantus”). Under the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Amarantus all of its rights and claims in the litigation currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Lonza Walkersville and Lonza America, Inc. (the “Lonza Litigation”). This includes all of the Cutanogen intellectual property rights and any Lonza manufacturing know-how technology. In addition, the Company agreed to sell the PermaDerm® trademark and related intellectual property rights associated with it. The purchase price paid by Amarantus was: (i) $3,600,000 in cash, and (ii) shares of common stock in Amarantus having a value of $3,000,000 at the date of the transaction.

The Company used the net proceeds of the transaction to fund development of cultured cell technology and to pursue approval of the products through the FDA as well as for general and administrative expenses. The Company has been developing its own unique cultured skin substitute since the Company received Lonza’s termination notice.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regenicin and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Going Concern:

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $13.3 million from inception, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business and has been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt, private sale of equity securities, and the proceeds from the Sale Agreement. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Currently management plans to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether the Company will be able to obtain such financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Research and development:  

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Income per share:

Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period, only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. The following table summarizes the components of the income per common share calculation:

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:

The following weighted average securities have been excluded from the calculation even though the exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred during 2018:

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures fair value of its financial assets on a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The carrying value of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and all loans and notes payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets approximated their values as of and September 30, 2018 and 2017 due to their short-term nature.

Common stock of Amarantus represents equity investments in common stock that the Company classifies as available for sale. Such investments are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is determined under the guidelines of GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Realized gains and losses, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, are included in net income. Unrealized gains and losses considered to be temporary are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) and are included in equity. Other than temporary declines in the fair value of investment is included in other income (expense) on the statement of operations.

The common stock of Amarantus is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the security is traded. This valuation methodology is considered to be using Level 1 inputs. The total value of Amarantus common stock at September 30, 2018 and 2017 is $8,450 and $8,000, respectively. The unrealized gain for the year ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $450 and $500, respectively, net of income taxes and was reported as a component of comprehensive loss.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Such estimation includes the selection of assumptions underlying the calculation of the fair value of options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “ Compensation - Stock Compensation .” Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505, “ Equity .” Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 505.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance FASB ASC 740, " Income Taxes ," which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 " Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ." The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements.  The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new standard principally affects accounting standards for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Upon the effective date of the new standards, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting, will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The new guidance on the classification and measurement will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption of certain items is permitted. The Company will record a cumulative effect adjustment of a $950 decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income and a corresponding decrease to accumulated deficit as of October 1, 2018, which is the beginning of its 2019 fiscal year.

On May 10, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09 “Compensation --Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which provides guidance to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective prospectively for all companies for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

All other recent pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTE C – SALE OF ASSET

On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Sale Agreement, as amended on January 30, 2015, with Amarantus. See Note A. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Amarantus all of its rights and claims in the Lonza Litigation. These include all of the Cutanogen intellectual property rights and any Lonza manufacturing know-how technology. In addition, the Company had agreed to sell its PermaDerm® trademark and related intellectual property rights associated with it. The Company also granted to Amarantus an exclusive five (5) year option to license any engineered skin designed for the treatment of patients designated as severely burned by the FDA developed by the Company. Amarantus can exercise this option at a cost of $10,000,000 plus a royalty of 5% on gross revenues in excess of $150 million. As of September 30, 2018, and through the issuance date of these financial statements, the option has not been exercised.

NOTE D – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

In Fiscal 2018 and 2017, management determined that certain accounts payables on the balance sheet for over six years totaling $248,828 and $15,000, respectively, were no longer due and payable. These amounts have been reversed and are included as a separate component of loss from operations.

NOTE F - LOANS PAYABLE

Loan Payable:

In February 2011, an investor advanced $10,000. The loan does not bear interest and is due on demand. At both September 30, 2018 and 2017, the loan payable totaled $10,000.

Loans Payable - Officer :

In September 2017, John Weber, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, made an advance to the Company of $10,000. From November 2017 through September 2018 additional advances were made totaling $95,858. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand.

In September 2017, J. Roy Nelson, the Company’s Chief Science Officer, made an advance to the Company of $10,000. From November 2017 through July 2018 additional advances totaling $16,864 were made. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand.

In September 2018, Randall McCoy, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, made an advance to the Company of $4,500. The loan does not bear interest and is due on demand.

NOTE G - NOTES PAYABLE 

Bridge Financing:

On December 21, 2011, the Company issued a $150,000 promissory note to an individual. The note bore interest so that the Company would repay $175,000 on the maturity date of June 21, 2012, which correlated to an effective rate of 31.23%. Additional interest of 10% was charged on any late payments. The note was not paid at the maturity date and the Company is incurring additional interest as described above. At both September 30, 2018 and 2017, the note balance was $175,000. Accrued interest on the note was $109,888 and $92,389 at September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

NOTE H - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Little Falls, New Jersey. The headquarters is located in the offices of McCoy Enterprises LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. McCoy. The office is attached to his residence but has its own entrances, restroom and kitchen facilities.

The Company also maintains an office at Carbon & Polymer Research Inc. ("CPR") in Pennington, New Jersey, which is the Company's materials and testing laboratory. An officer of the Company is an owner of CPR. No rent is charged for either premise.

On May 16, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with CPR in which CPR will supply the collagen scaffolds used in the Company's production of the skin tissue. The contract contains a most favored customer clause guaranteeing the Company prices equal or lower than those charged to other customers. The Company has not yet made purchases from CPR.

See Note F for loans payable to related parties. 

NOTE I - INCOME TAXES

The Company did not incur current income tax expense for either of the years ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had available approximately $4.41 million of net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards which expire in the years 2029 through 2036. However, the use of the net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to September 30, 2011 totaling $0.7 million is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), imposes an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income that may be offset by a corporation’s NOLs if the corporation experiences an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Code.

On December 22, 2017, new tax legislation came into effect. The provisions are generally effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The most impactful item to the Company in the new law is the change in tax rate from 34% to 21%. This reduced the gross deferred tax assets prior to existing full valuation allowance from an effective rate of 40% to an effective rate of 27%. The provision and disclosures for the year ended September 30, 2018 reflect the new tax legislation.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at September 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

Due to the uncertainty of their realization, a valuation allowance has been established for all of the income tax benefit for these deferred tax assets.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income tax rate using the federal statutory rate to the actual income tax rate as of September 30, 2018 and 2017:

At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2018, and 2017 the Company has not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files its federal and state income tax returns under a statute of limitations. The tax years ended September 30, 2015 through September 30, 2018 generally remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities. 

NOTE J - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

Preferred Stock:

Series A

Series A Preferred earns a dividend of 8% per annum on the stated value and has a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the shares ($885,000 liquidation preference as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 plus dividends in arrears as per below). Each share of Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $1 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of 10 for 1.

The Series A Preferred Stock was marketed through a private placement memorandum that included a reference to a ratchet provision which would have allowed the holders of the stock to claim a better conversion rate based on other stock transactions conducted by the Company during the three-year period following the original issuance of the shares. The Certificate of Designation does not contain a ratchet provision. Certain of the stock related transactions consummated by the Company during this time period may have triggered this ratchet provision, and thus created a claim by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock who purchased based on this representation for a greater conversion rate than initially provided. There have been no new developments related to the remaining Series A holders regarding this claim and the conversion rate of their Series A Preferred Stock. Changes to the preferred stock conversion ratio may result in modification or extinguishment accounting. That may result in a deemed preferred stock dividend which would reduce net income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. Certain of the smaller Series A holders have already converted or provided notice of conversion of their shares. In respect of this claim, the Company and its outside counsel determined that it is not possible to offer an opinion regarding the outcome. An adverse outcome could materially increase the accumulated deficit.

The dividends are cumulative commencing on the issue date when and if declared by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2018, and 2017, dividends in arrears were $534,637 ($.60 per share) and $463,837 ($.52 per share), respectively. 

At both September 30, 2018 and 2017, 885,000 shares of Series A Preferred were outstanding.

Series B

On January 23, 2012, the Company designated a new class of preferred stock called Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). Four million shares have been authorized with a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into ten shares of common stock. Holders of Series B Preferred have a right to a dividend (pro-rata to each holder) based on a percentage of the gross revenue earned by the Company in the United States, if any, and the number of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as follows: Year 1 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .03 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 2 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .02 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 3 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .01 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. At September 30, 2018, and 2017 no shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding. 

2010 Incentive Plan :

On December 15, 2010, the board of directors approved the Regenicin, Inc. 2010 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares and performance units to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 4,428,360 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On January 6, 2011, the Company approved the issuance of 885,672 options to each of the four members of the board of directors at an exercise price of $0.035, as amended on December 10, 2013 from $0.62 per share, that were to expire on December 22, 2015. Effective as of the expiration date, the Company extended the term of those options to December 31, 2018. All other contractual terms of the options remained the same. There is no deferred compensation expense associated with this transaction, since all extended options had previously been fully vested.

On January 15, 2015, the Company entered into a stock option agreement with an officer of the Company. The agreement grants the Officer an option to purchase 10 million shares of common stock at $0.02 per share. The agreement expires on January 15, 2019. The options were valued utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price: $0.02; expected volatility: 22.16%; risk-free rate: .75%; expected term: 3 years. The grant date fair value per share was $0.003 and the options vest immediately.

Expected life is determined using the “simplified method” permitted by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The stock volatility factor is based on the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index. The Company did not use the volatility rate for Company’s common stock as the Company’s common stock had not been trading for the sufficient length of time to accurately compute its volatility when these options were issued.

No stock based compensation was paid in either of the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. 

Option activity for 2018 and 2017 is summarized as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated based on the positive difference between the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock and the exercise price of the underlying options.

The following table summarizes information regarding stock options outstanding at September 30, 2018:

As of September 30, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted.

No warrants were issued or exercised during the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and all warrants were expired as of September 30, 2018.
