Nature of Operations

 

IASO BioMed, Inc. (“IASO” or the “Company”) is a developmental stage biotechnology company focusing on researching and developing drugs and diagnostic tests for products with a large commercial market potential as well as drugs that may qualify for orphan drug status. The Company is developing a unique, first in class drug that it believes will be a safer alternative to currently available testosterone replacement therapy by stimulating the body’s own production rather than using synthetic hormones and steroids. It is also developing a process, or method, which the Company believes will be the basis for developing an early stage blood or fluid test for Alzheimer’s disease. There is no assurance that these research and development activities will result in products that can be sold. The Company was incorporated as a C-corporation in the state of Colorado on March 11, 2015. It has its primary place of business in Denver, Colorado.

 

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the FASB. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that the Company follows to ensure they consistently report the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification , sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC.

  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include but are not limited to the valuation of share-based awards.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $171,078 and $444,007 in research and development costs, respectively.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

Share-based payments are measured at their estimated fair value on the date of grant. Share-based awards to non-employees are re-measured at fair value each financial reporting date until performance is completed. Share-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. For warrants that do not vest immediately but which contain only a service vesting feature, we recognize compensation cost on the unvested warrants on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of warrants and the market price of our common stock on the date of grant for the fair value. Our determination of fair value of share-based awards is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk-free interest rate. 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts payable are considered to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding, plus the impact of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, plus the conversion of convertible notes, if any. There were 8,760,000 and 8,075,000, respectively, shares excluded as they were anti-dilutive at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for those leases classified as operating leases at the commencement date and have lease terms of more than 12 months. This topic retains the distinction between finance leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, and must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Although the Company currently has no lease obligations, it will adopt the new requirements if it enters into a lease obligation.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. For public companies, these amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. It is effective prospectively for the annual period ending June 30, 2019 and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-09 will have a significant impact on its financial statements upon adoption.
