NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Going Concern

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.8 million. Given the Company’s development plans, the Company estimates cash resources will be sufficient to fund its operations into the second quarter of 2021.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The COVID-19 outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown, which would impair the Company’s ability to raise needed funds to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to liquidate its assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on its unaudited consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment. If the Company seeks additional financing to fund its business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to the Company on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Based on these factors, as of June 30, 2020, management determined that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Reverse Stock Split

Reverse Stock Split

On February 11, 2020, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-30 (the “2020 Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the 2020 Reverse Stock Split, (i) every 30 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one newly issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share; (ii) the number of shares of common stock into which each outstanding warrant or option to purchase common stock is exercisable was proportionally decreased, and (iii) the number of authorized shares of common stock outstanding was proportionally decreased. Shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options and other equity instruments convertible into common stock were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities.

All of the Company’s historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options and warrants exercisable for common stock in these consolidated financial statements were adjusted, on a retroactive basis to reflect the 2020 Reverse Stock Split.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) consistent with those applied in, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2020. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2020 and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented, and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, as allowed by the relevant SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU No. 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, ASU No. 2019-04 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, ASU No. 2019-05 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, ASU No. 2019-11 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, ASU No. 2020-02 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU No. 2020-03 “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments, (collectively, “Topic 326”)”. Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Topic 326 is effective for all public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and all other entities beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and the related amending ASU’s on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this ASU. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements - Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer.”  ASU No. 2019-08 amends and clarifies ASU No. 2018-07, which we adopted on January 1, 2019, to require that an entity measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718.  For entities that have already adopted the amendments in ASU No. 2018-07, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-08 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01 “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) —clarifying the interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323 and Topic 815 (a consensus of the emerging issues task force)”. The amendments in this ASU clarify the interaction between the accounting for investments in equity securities, investment in equity method and certain derivatives instruments. The ASU is expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for these interactions. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. ASU No. 2020-01 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2022. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its financial statements.
