NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the
Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in
this note.
Liquidity
On May 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase
Agreement, which gives the Company the right, but not the
obligation, to sell up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock
to the same investor during the commitment period. Further, on
September 23, 2022, the Company entered into the Supplemental SEPA,
pursuant to which the Company may request advances (“Prepaid
Advances”) up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 from Yorkville.
Yorkville has the right to receive shares, and may select the
timing and delivery of such shares, in an amount up to the balance
of the Prepaid Advance in order to pay down the Prepaid Advance
liability. During the period ended September 30, 2022, the Company
received aggregate gross proceeds of $15,400,000 under the SEPA and
the Supplemental SEPA. The Company is not permitted to
initiate additional sales of its common stock under the SEPA until
the Prepaid Advance liability ($15,539,474 at September 30, 2022)
is settled. During October 2022, the Company issued 5,153,664
shares of common stock, at purchase prices per share ranging from
$0.99 to $1.84, in satisfaction of the initial Prepaid Advance
liability in the aggregate amount of $5,750,000. As of November 14,
2022, the remaining balance on the initial Prepaid Advance
liability is $9,000,000. See Note 9 – Prepaid Advance Liability and
Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $16,168,863 and
working capital of $2,077,848. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $14,977,825
and used cash in operations of $13,366,007.
While the Company anticipates it will continue to incur operating
losses and use cash in operating activities for the foreseeable
future, the Company believes that its current working capital,
combined with the cash availability pursuant to the Standby Equity
Purchase Agreement, is sufficient in comparison to its anticipated
cash usage for a period of at least twelve months after the filing
date of these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes
to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates
used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for
prepaid advance liability, equity securities, stock-based
compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s
deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be
affected by external conditions, including those unique to the
Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these
external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates
and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Treasury Stock
The Company records repurchases of its own common stock at cost.
Repurchased common stock is presented as a reduction of equity in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent reissuances of treasury
stock are accounted for on a weighted average cost basis.
Differences between the cost of treasury stock and the
re-issuance proceeds are charged to additional paid-in capital.
Gains on the reissuance of treasury stock are credited to
additional paid in capital. Losses resulting from the reissuance of
treasury stock are debited to additional paid-in capital to the
extent previous net gains from such reissuances are included in
additional paid-in capital; any losses in excess of that amount are
then charged to retained earnings.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of
cash, accounts receivable, revenue and accounts payable.
