Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations. 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Event

Subsequent Event

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date when financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which modifies ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The ASU’s amendments are based on changes that were suggested by stakeholders as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative (i.e., the Board’s effort to reduce the complexity of accounting standards while maintaining or enhancing the helpfulness of information provided to financial statement users. This ASU was adopted by the Company on September 1, 2021. The Company evaluated and concluded that the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 in response EITF consensus. This ASU addresses how the issuer should account for modifications or exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options. Freestanding written call options (such as warrants) are sometimes issued to enhance the marketability of a company’s debt or common stock offering. Some of these warrants are classified as equity in the issuer’s financial statements but are not accounted for as either stock compensation or derivatives. US GAAP does not address how the issuer should account for modifications of these instruments. The FASB has approved an EITF consensus to fill that void. Under the new guidance, if the modification does not change the instrument’s classification as equity, the company that issued the warrants accounts for the modification as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. In general, if the fair value of the ‘new’ instrument is greater than the fair value of the ‘original’ instrument, the excess is recognized based on the substance of the transaction, as if the issuer had paid cash. The new rule is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 for both public and private companies. Transition is prospective. Early adoption is permitted, as discussed further below. The Company is evaluating whether this will have any impact of on its consolidated financial statements. 

 Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or in management’s opinion will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
