SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to depreciation, amortization, and valuation of warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company maintains cash deposits at several financial institutions, which are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. The Company’s cash balance may at times exceed these limits. On March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had $146,643 and $1,229,863, respectively, in excess of federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. The Company maintains no international bank accounts. As of March 31, 2023, $10,000 of the Company’s cash was restricted as collateral related to the credit card program offered by our bank.

 

Accounts Receivable, Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 on March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when a contract with a customer exists, and at that point in time when we have delivered a Nociscan report to our customer. Revenue is recognized in the amount that reflects the negotiated consideration expected to be received in exchange for those reports. Following the delivery of the report, the company has no ongoing obligations or services to provide to the customer. Customers pay no other upfront, licensing, or other fees. To date, our reports are not reimbursable under any third-party payment arrangements, The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules in its sales arrangements. Payment terms range generally from 30 to 90 days from the date of invoice.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

The Company believes that the net proceeds from the April 2022 initial public offering, and subsequent funding described in Note 13, will be sufficient to fund current operating plans into the third quarter of 2023. The Company has based these estimates, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could spend available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue funding our technology development. Management plans to secure such additional funding.

 

As a result of the Company’s recurring losses from operations and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Refer to Note 13: Subsequent Events, for information regarding recent funding developments.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company issues stock-based compensation awards to employees and directors in the form of stock options. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the awards’ fair value. Share-based compensation for stock options awards is measured on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

 

Awards vest either on a graded schedule or at the grant date. The Company determines the fair value of each award as a single award and recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The exercise price of stock options granted is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options expire ten years from the date of grant.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period to comply with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies.
