Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventories	Note 4: Inventories The Company uses the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or net realizable value method of accounting for inventory. Commercial sales of Alferon in the U.S. will not resume until new batches of commercial filled and finished product are produced and released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). While the facility is approved by the FDA under the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Alferon, this status will need to be reaffirmed by an FDA pre-approval inspection. The Company will also need the FDA’s approval to release commercial product once it has submitted satisfactory stability and quality release data. Currently, the manufacturing process is on hold and there is no definitive timetable to have the facility back online. Due to the Company extending the timeline of Alferon production to in excess of one year, the Company reclassified Alferon work in process inventory of $1,095,000 to other assets within our balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and due to the high cost estimates to bring the facility back online. Prior to completing validation, the Company plans on modernizing the manufacturing process to make it lower-cost and higher volume. If, following modernization, the Company is unable to gain the necessary FDA approvals related to the manufacturing process and/or final product of new Alferon inventory, its operations most likely will be materially and/or adversely affected. Considering these contingencies, there can be no assurances that the approved Alferon N Injection product will be returned to production on a timely basis, if at all, or that if and when it is again made commercially available, it will return to prior sales levels. The Alferon work in process is currently compliant with our internal protocols and is stored in a controlled state. All of these factors contribute to the potential sale of the Alferon work in process, after validation lots have been produced and including a successful pre-approval inspection.
