Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates which may cause the Company’s future results to be affected.

 

 

Concentrations

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution. The Company maintains deposits in its cash account in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.

 

The royalties related to the Company’s sublicense comprised all of the Company’s revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

 

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
   
Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
   
Level 3: Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally-developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. All outstanding options and warrants are considered potential Common Stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options and warrants are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible preferred stock is considered Common Stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of Common Stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock have been excluded from the Company’s computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

The following tables summarize the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position even though the exercise or conversion price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
