Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company recognizes a liability with regard to loss contingencies when it believes it is probable a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount the Company accrues the minimum amount in the range. The Company has not recorded any such liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Related Parties

Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. FASB ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures (FASB ASC 850) requires that transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making shall be disclosed so that users of the financial statements can evaluate their significance. Related party transactions typically occur within the context of the following relationships:

Affiliates of the entity;
Entities for which investments in their equity securities is typically accounted for under the equity method by the investing entity;
Trusts for the benefit of employees;
Principal owners of the entity and members of their immediate families;
Management of the entity and members of their immediate families; or
Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The Company previously entered into a consulting agreement with van den Boom & Associates, LLC (van den Boom & Associates), a professional services firm contracted to provide resources to assist with day-to-day accounting functions. Services provided under the agreement with van den Boom & Associates are billed at hourly rates. On April 16, 2021, Ms. van den Boom, the managing partner of van den Boom & Associates, entered into an employment agreement with the Company whereby she became its Chief Financial Officer. Van den Boom & Associates is considered a related party under FASB ASC 850 from the point in which Ms. van den Boom became a Company officer. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, van den Boom & Associates rendered contracted services totaling approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There were no other significant updates not already disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 to the recently issued accounting standards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, the Company does not believe any of those accounting pronouncements have had or will have a material impact on its financial position or operating results.
