Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Business

Business – On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc. (“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). In August 2023, the Company changed its corporate name from Enochian Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Biosciences Inc. The Company engages in the research and development of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of cancer, HIV, and HBV with the intent to manufacture said products. On February 13, 2024, Renovaro Inc. acquired Renovaro Cube Intl Ltd and its subsidiaries (“Renovaro Cube”), as a wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to a stock purchase agreement.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation – The Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2023, audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Consolidation

Consolidation – For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of 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, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets acquired in a business acquisition, contingent consideration, and equity instruments issued for goods or services.

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”) and the functional currency of Renovaro Cube is the Euro (“EUR”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions, which, at times, exceed the amount of deposit insurance provided within the relevant jurisdiction where the deposits are held. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four to ten years (see Note 4.)

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets – The Company has both definite and indefinite life intangible assets.

Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Definite life intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Definite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application.

Indefinite life intangible assets include in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. IPR&D represents the fair value of the technology on the date acquired and is tested annually for impairment, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

Goodwill

Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually as of June 30^th of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets – We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss for such excess. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis on June 30th. The annual fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2023. There have been no events which have caused the Company to conduct an interim evaluation of its goodwill through March 31, 2024 (see Note 5.)

For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as IPR&D, on an annual basis on June 30th we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the IPR&D exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $18,960,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $8,421,000 related to the termination of the HV-01 license (see Note 5.)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, definite and indefinite life intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use are their respective fair values.

Leases

Leases – In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determined the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter. The lease terms include any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise, if applicable. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company develops an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the future payments.

Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the operating lease right of use assets have been impaired, over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For operating leases that reflect impairment, the Company will recognize the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred (see Note 6.)

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development Expenses – The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating, and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the Oncology, HIV and HBV therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for Oncology, HIV and HBV. Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to $1,087,156, and $2,274,321, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $239,137, and $3,170,471, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.

Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share – The Company calculates earnings/ (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. Because of the net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the dilutive shares for all periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 9,522,967 and 5,410,460 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There were no Level 1, 2, or 3 assets, nor any Level 1, or 2 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Level 3 liabilities held as of March 31, 2024, consisted of a contingent consideration liability related to the February 13, 2024, acquisition of Renovaro Cube (see Note 3.)

Stock Options and Restricted Share Units

Stock Options and Restricted Share Units – The Company has granted stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants. The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to consultants and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the required service period, which is generally the vesting period. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $1,861,601 and $3,844,658, respectively. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,076,203 and $2,922,166, respectively (See Note 8.)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB do not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
