Nature of Operations

 

Nemus Bioscience, Inc. is an ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company that plans to research, develop and commercialize therapeutics derived from cannabinoids through a partnership with the University of Mississippi. The University of Mississippi (“UM”) is federally permitted and licensed to cultivate cannabis for research purposes. Unless otherwise specified, references in these Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company,” “we” or “our” refer to Nemus Bioscience, Inc., a Nevada corporation formerly known as Load Guard Logistics, Inc. (“LGL”), together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nemus, a California corporation (“Nemus”). Nemus became the wholly owned subsidiary of Nemus Bioscience, Inc. through the Merger (as defined below).

 

Nemus Bioscience, Inc. (formerly LGL) was incorporated in Nevada on March 16, 2011. Nemus was incorporated in California on July 17, 2012. Our headquarters are located in Long Beach, California.

 

In January 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Emerald Health Sciences, Inc. (“Emerald”) discussed in Note 4 below in which Emerald purchased a majority of the equity interest in Nemus resulting in a change in control. As a result, the Board members, with the exception of Dr. Brian Murphy, the Company’s CEO/CMO, tendered their resignation and Emerald has appointed its nominees to the new Board.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to securing product licenses, raising capital, and building infrastructure, and has not realized revenue from its planned principal operations.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and as of June 30, 2018, had an accumulated deficit of $24,906,664, a stockholders’ deficit of $8,245,279 and a working capital deficit of $8,250,258. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future in order to advance and develop a number of potential drug candidates into preclinical development activities and support its corporate infrastructure which includes the costs associated with being a public company. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,874,720, as compared to $259,955 of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017. This increase is primarily attributable to the proceeds of $3,250,000 from the Emerald Financing along with $400,000 of the $900,000 convertible bridge loan from Emerald. However, without additional funding management believes that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company’s continued existence is dependent on its ability to raise additional sufficient funding to cover operating expenses and to invest in operations and development activities. The Company plans to continue to pursue funding through public or private equity or debt financings, strategic collaborations, licensing arrangements, asset sales, government grants or other arrangements. However, the Company cannot provide any assurances that such additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would result. If the Company is unable to secure adequate additional funding, the Company may be forced to reduce spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, suspend or curtail planned programs or cease operations.
