Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Except as described below, the accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Form 10-K/A, and the accounting policies followed by the Company for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies therein.
Treasury stock
The Company records the repurchase of its common stock, par value $ per share (“Common Stock”) at cost on the trade date of the transaction. These shares are considered treasury stock, which is a reduction to stockholders’ equity (deficit). Treasury stock is included in authorized and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative, if required to be bifurcated, is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of other expense (income), net. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Crypto assets
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”), which provides an update to existing crypto asset guidance and requires an entity to measure certain crypto assets at fair value. In addition, this guidance requires disclosures related to crypto assets once it is adopted. As of January 1, 2024, the Company has adopted ASU 2023-08.
The Company reflects crypto assets held at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the activity from remeasurement of crypto assets at fair value on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the required expanded disclosures in Note 3, Crypto Assets Held. The adoption of ASU 2023-08 resulted in no cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2024.
Crypto assets are generally valued using prices as reported on reputable and liquid exchanges and may involve using an average of bid and ask quotes using closing prices provided by such exchanges as of the date and time of determination. The time used is 4:00 pm EST.
The Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Certain warrants participate in distributions of the Company. The pre-funded warrants associated with the July and September 2024 private placements (see Note 7) are considered outstanding shares in the basic earnings per share calculation given their nominal exercise price. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the warrant holders as the warrant holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, including outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock and outstanding stock options under the Company’s equity incentive plan, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding to the Company’s net loss position.
Emerging growth company status
The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (1) is no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.
Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on the presentation of its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to provide enhancements to segment disclosures, even for entities with only one reportable segment. In particular, the standard will require disclosures of information related to significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The standard will also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Finally, the standard will require disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and an explanation of how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the presentation of its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes.
