Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization and nature of business:
Qrons Inc. ("Qrons" and/or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on August 22, 2016 under the name BioLabMart Inc. Our headquarters are located at 777 Brickell Avenue, Suite 500, Miami, FL 33131.
The Company is a preclinical stage biotechnology company developing advanced cell-based solutions to combat neuronal injuries with a laser focus on traumatic brain injuries. The technology could potentially treat a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases. The Company's treatment integrates proprietary, engineered mesenchymal stem cells, 3D printable scaffolding, smart materials and a novel delivery system.
On December 14, 2016, the Company entered into a license and research funding agreement ("License Agreement") with Ariel Scientific Innovations Ltd., formerly known as Ariel University R&D Co., Ltd., ("Ariel"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ariel University, based in Ariel, Israel. Under the terms of the License Agreement, Professor Danny Baranes, the principal investigator and his research team will carry out further research relating to cell treatment with conditioned medium for neuronal tissue regeneration and repair. In consideration for payments under the License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive worldwide royalty- bearing license in Ariel patents and know-how to develop and commercialize products based on or incorporating conditioned medium for neuronal tissue regeneration and/or repair, resulting from Ariel's research or technology or the Company's research funding (the "Products).
Under the License Agreement, the Company is required to use its best efforts to develop and commercialize the Products in accordance with development milestones set forth in the Agreement.
On July 6, 2017, the board of directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from "BioLabMart Inc." to "Qrons Inc.". On August 8, 2017, the Company filed Amended Articles of Incorporation with the State of Wyoming to effectuate such name change.
The Company's common stock was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for quotation on the OTC pink sheets under the symbol "BLMB" as of July 3, 2017. FINRA announced the Company's name change to Qrons Inc. on its Daily List on August 9, 2017. The new name and symbol change to "QRON" for the OTC market was effective August 10, 2017.
On October 17, 2017, the Company entered into an option agreement with the Trustees of Dartmouth College which provides for, among other things, the grant to the Company of a one-year exclusive option to negotiate a worldwide, royalty bearing, exclusive license with Dartmouth for 3D printable materials in the field of human and animal health. During the option period, the Company agreed to use all commercially reasonable resources to evaluate the intellectual property and provide quarterly milestone reports and a commercialization plan upon exercise of the option. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to finance the prosecution of patents by Dartmouth to protect its intellectual property. Further, the agreement provides for the payment by the Company of an option fee and certain license fees and royalty payments based upon the Company's product sales, as part of a final negotiated license agreement.
On December 14, 2017, the Company entered into a services agreement with Ariel pursuant to which a team under the direction of Prof. Baranes will conduct molecular biology research activities involving the testing of scaffold materials for the Company.
As at the report date, the Company is aggressively continuing with the development of its cell-based solutions relative to traumatic brain injuries. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Statement Presentation: The audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Fiscal year end: The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Research and Development Costs: The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, "Research and Development". Research and development costs were $1,179,777 for the year ended December 31, 2017, inclusive of stock based compensation costs (2016 – $156,000).
Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $28,481 in advertising and marketing costs during the year ended December 31, 2017 (2016 - $0).
Related parties: For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.
Stock-Based Compensation and Other Share-Based Payments: The expense attributable to the Company's Directors is recognized over the period the amounts are earned and vested, and the expense attributable to the Company's non-employees is recognized when vested, as described in Note 7, Stock Plan.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The following table provides a summary of the fair value of our derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
Warrants: The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" (ASC Topic 815), as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. For warrants classified as equity instruments we apply the Black Scholes model. Presently all warrants issued and outstanding are accounted for using the equity method.
Income taxes: The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740 – "Income Taxes" ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share: In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – "Earnings Per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method), convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features, and stock awards and stock options. The computation of basic loss per share for the periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, stock options and preferred shares, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at each reporting period which have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share:
New Accounting Pronouncements: Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company's present or future financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). The objective of the ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships in order to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. ASU 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-12 on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-09 on the Company's financial statements. |

Going Concern [Abstract] | |
Going Concern | Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company has experienced net losses to date, and it has not generated revenue from operations, and will need additional working capital to service debt and for ongoing operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on favorable terms.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amount and classification of liabilities that might cause results from this uncertainty. |

On September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with CubeSquare, LLC ("CubeSquare"), of which our Chief Executive Officer is the managing partner and our President is a 25% owner. The Company received proceeds of $10,000 during fiscal 2016 ("Note 1"). The note bears interest at 8% per annum and was due on September 1, 2017. Interest accrues from September 1, 2016 and is payable on maturity. Interest is payable, at the lender's option, in cash or common stock. Any portion of the loan and unpaid interest are convertible at any time at the option of the lender into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of the greater of (i) $0.0625 per share if the Company's shares are not trading on a public market and; (ii) in the event the Company's shares are listed for trading on a public market, the conversion price shall be equal to a 50% discount to the average of the five lowest trading prices during the previous twenty trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion from the lender.
On September 28, 2017 the Company and CubeSquare amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date of the note from September 1, 2017 to September 1, 2018 under the same terms and conditions.
On September 27, 2017, the Company entered into a second convertible debenture agreement with CubeSquare under which the Company received proceeds of $15,000 (Note 2). Note 2 bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on September 27, 2018. Interest shall accrue from September 27, 2017 and shall be payable on maturity. Any portion of the principal and unpaid interest under the note is convertible at any time at the option of CubeSquare into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to a 50% discount to the average of the five lowest trading prices during the previous twenty trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion from CubeSquare.
The Company analyzed the amendment to Note 1 and Note 2 under ASC 815-10-15-83 and concluded that these two convertible debentures meet the definition of a derivative. We estimated the fair value of the derivative on the inception dates, and subsequently, using the Black-Scholes valuation technique, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because that technique embodies all of the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk-free rates) that are necessary to fair value complex derivate instruments. The carrying value of these convertible notes is as follows:
Amortization of the discount over the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled $13,082 and $3,583, respectively, which amounts have been recorded as interest expense.
As a result of the application of ASC No. 815 in period ended December 31, 2017 the fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follows:
The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company's derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of September 30, 2017 and commitment date:

Income Taxes | Note 9 – Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 the Company measured our U.S. deferred tax assets at a statutory income tax rate of 34%.
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted into law including a one-time mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company does not have any foreign earnings and therefore, we do not anticipate the impact of a transition tax. We have remeasured our U.S. deferred tax assets at a statutory income tax rate of 21%. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, we consider the accounting of any transition tax, deferred tax re-measurements, and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions. We expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118, and no later than fiscal year end December 31, 2018.
During 2017, the Company incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward was approximately $1,589,930 at December 31, 2017 and $169,240 at December 31, 2016 and will begin to expire in the year 2036.
The Company had deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 as follows:
Tax years from inception to fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 have been filed and are open for examination by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the period presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at September 30, 2017. The Company's utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended activities. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The following table provides a summary of the fair value of our derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Warrants | Warrants: The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" (ASC Topic 815), as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. For warrants classified as equity instruments we apply the Black Scholes model. Presently all warrants issued and outstanding are accounted for using the equity method. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income taxes | Income taxes: The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740 – "Income Taxes" ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share: In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – "Earnings Per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method), convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features, and stock awards and stock options. The computation of basic loss per share for the periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, stock options and preferred shares, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at each reporting period which have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share:

New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements: Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company's present or future financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). The objective of the ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships in order to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. ASU 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-12 on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-09 on the Company's financial statements. |

Description of accounting interpretation for tax change effect | We have remeasured our U.S. deferred tax assets at a statutory income tax rate of 21%. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, we consider the accounting of any transition tax, deferred tax re-measurements, and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions. We expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118, and no later than fiscal year end December 31, 2018. |
