SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Accounting for Share-Based Payments. The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“Topic 718”), which establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges equity securities for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining fair value. Accordingly, compensation cost has been recognized using the fair value method and expected term accrual requirements as prescribed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no stock compensation expense.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, “Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“2018-07”) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for an “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has adopted this standard effective from January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

In the case of modifications, the Black-Scholes model is used to value modified warrants on the modification date by applying the revised assumptions. The difference between the fair value of the warrants prior to the modification and after the modification determines the incremental value. In the past, the Company has modified warrants in connection with the issuance of certain notes and note extensions. These modified warrants were originally issued in connection with previous private placement investments. In the case of debt issuances, the warrants were accounted for as original issuance discount based on their relative fair values. When modified in connection with a note issuance, the Company recognizes the incremental value as a part of the debt discount calculation, using its relative fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. When modified in connection with note extensions, the Company recognized the incremental value as prepaid interest, which is expensed over the term of the extension.

 

 

The fair value of each share-based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which are determined at the beginning of each year and utilized in all calculations for that year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not make any Black-Scholes model assumptions, as no share-based payments were made during those periods.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The interest rate used is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security as of the beginning of the year.

 

Expected Volatility. The Company calculates the expected volatility based on historical volatility of monthly stock prices over a three-year period.

 

Dividend Yield. The Company has never paid cash dividends, and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus has assumed a 0% dividend yield.

 

Expected Term. For options, the Company has no history of employee exercise patterns. Therefore, the Company uses the option term as the expected term. For warrants, the Company uses the actual term of the warrant.

 

Pre-Vesting Forfeitures. Estimates of pre-vesting option forfeitures are based on Company experience. The Company will adjust its estimate of forfeitures over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

 

Earnings per Share. The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“Topic 260”). Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and the dilutive effect of common share equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase common stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, if applicable, that are outstanding each year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, basic and diluted earnings per share were the same at the reporting dates of the accompanying financial statements, as including common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have been antidilutive.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and at June 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding warrants exercisable for 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and outstanding preferred stock, $0.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”) convertible into 6,196,893 shares of its Common Stock, which options, warrants and Preferred Stock were deemed to be antidilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company had reserved for issuance to certain investors 860,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred”), convertible into 860,000 shares of its Common Stock. As of June 30, 2022 and at June 30, 2021, the Company has estimated and reserved for issuance approximately 20.0 million shares of Common Stock for a future conversion of its issued and outstanding Bridge Notes (See Note 4).

 

Fair Value. The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its assets or liabilities.

 

Use of Estimates. The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, and include certain estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
