Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and S-X Article 10 for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2023, and the consolidated results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 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, as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2022, included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements was derived from the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements.

The results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Indaptus and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and the determination of period-end obligations to certain contract research organizations. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loss per share

Loss per share

Loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common stock and of common stock equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common stock equivalents include outstanding stock options and warrants which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive.

The following number of stock options, warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (share data):

	For the three months ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Outstanding stock options		1,873,929		1,580,623
Warrants		3,090,787		3,090,787

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, share-based compensation expenses, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, subcontractors and materials used for research and development activities, including clinical trials and professional services. All costs associated with research and developments are expensed as incurred.

The Company accrues for expenses resulting from obligations under agreements with contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), and other outside service providers for which payment flows do not match the periods over which services or materials are provided to the Company. Accruals are recorded based on estimates of services received and efforts expended pursuant to agreements with CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers. These estimates are typically based on contracted amounts applied to the proportion of work performed and determined through analysis with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, CMO, or outside service provider, the payments will be recorded as a prepaid expense, which will be amortized or expensed as the contracted services are performed.

Recently adopted accounting standard

Recently adopted accounting standard

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard amended its guidance on the recognition of impairment losses of certain financial instruments. The ASU established the current expected credit loss model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
