Notes to Financial Statements | |
Note 1. Nature of operations | Note 1. Nature of operations RenovaCare, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp. (collectively, the “Company”) is a development-stage company focusing on the research, development and commercialization of autologous (using a patient’s own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications. RenovaCare, Inc. was incorporated on July 14, 1983 in the State of Utah under the name Far West Gold, Inc., and changed its domicile to Nevada in 1997. On January 7, 2014, the Company changed its name at the time from “Janus Resources, Inc.” to “RenovaCare, Inc.” so as to more fully reflect its current operations and business, and changed its trading symbol from “JANI” to “RCAR” effective as of January 9, 2014. On July 12, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of its flagship technologies (collectively, the “ CellMist TM SkinGun TM encompassing improvements to the SkinGun™, expanding its potential application beyond the surgical setting into the field, and allowing the use of liquid suspension solutions to include drugs, hormones, and other useful agents. The CellMist TM CellMist TM SkinGun TM The CellMist™ System facilitates rapid healing of wounds or other afflicted tissues when applied topically as a gentle cell mist using the patented RenovaCare SkinGun™. The Company’s SkinGun™ is used to spray a liquid suspension of a patient’s stem cells – the CellMist™ Solution – on to wounds. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $7,412,969. The Company anticipates that it will remain engaged in research and product development activities through at least December 31, 2022. Based on the Company’s current level of operations and expenditures, we believe that absent any modification or expansion of our existing research, development and testing activities, cash on hand as of December 31, 2020 will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue operation through the twelve months following the issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, the Company has experienced and continues to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment. The Company expects that it may need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company expects to seek to obtain funding through the sale of its equity or convertible debt. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. Additionally, there is significant uncertainty relating to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and capital requirements. Should financing when needed be unavailable or prohibitively expensive or the COVID-19 pandemic continue, it may adversely affect the Company’s ability to (i) retain employees and consultants; (ii) obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all; (iii) delay regulatory submissions and approvals; (iv) delay, limit or preclude the Company from the operation of clinical study sites and testing laboratories; (v) delay, limit or preclude the Company from achieving technology or product development goals, milestones, or objectives; and (vi) preclude or delay entry into joint venture or partnership arrangements. The occurrence of any one or more of such events may affect the Company’s ability to continue on its pathway to commercialization of its technology or products. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. RenovaCare Sciences Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 12, 2013. New Accounting Standards Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021. The Company does not expect ASU 2019-12 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures. The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion other than as discussed above. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Accounting Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to, determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the potential impairment of intangibles, the fair value of warrants issued, the fair value of stock options and other legal claims and contingencies. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial statements include cash and accounts payable which are short term in nature and, accordingly, approximate fair value. It is the Company’s policy to measure non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (such as evidence of impairment), which if material, are disclosed in the accompanying notes. Research and Development Expenses The Company expenses research and development expenses to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of (i) regulatory compliance, (ii) pilot-scale manufacturing of the Company’s cell isolations and SkinGun ™ The Company accounts for nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development as expenses when the services have been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. Equipment Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are: Estimated Useful Lives Office equipment 3 - 5 years Furniture & equipment 5 - 7 years Intangible Assets The Company’s intangible asset consists primarily of the CellMist TM The Company assessed the following qualitative factors that could affect any change in the fair value of the intangible asset: analysis of the technology's current phase, additional testing necessary to bring the technology to market, development of competing products, changes in projections caused by delays, changes in regulations, changes in the market for the technology and changes in cost projections to bring the technology to market. Based on a qualitative assessment, management concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the intangible asset related to the CellMist TM Stock-Based Compensation The Company grants options to purchase common stock to its employees, directors and consultants under its stock option plan. The Company values these share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model (the “Black-Sholes model”). The determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. The variables include, expected term of the award, expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards and the risk-free interest rate. The Company accounts for forfeitures of share-based payment awards as they occur. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions, if any, taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively. Net Loss Per Share The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. The Company has not included the effects of warrants, stock options and convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive. Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Years Ended 2020 2019 Basic and Diluted EPS Computation Numerator: Loss available to common stockholders $ (9,548,336 ) $ (3,358,082 ) Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 87,352,364 87,237,053 Basic and diluted EPS $ (0.11 ) $ (0.04 ) The shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted losses per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented: Stock options 5,895,570 2,317,500 Warrants 12,296,912 13,106,912 Total shares not included in the computation of diluted losses per share 18,192,482 15,424,412 Related Party Transactions A related party is generally defined as (i) any person who holds 10% or more of the Company's securities and their immediate families; (ii) the Company's management; (iii) someone who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company; or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See “Note 9. Related Party Transactions” for further discussion. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains deposits in an accredited financial institution in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in a financial institution that it believes has high credit quality and has not experienced any losses on such account and does not believe it is exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. |

Note 6. Stock Options | Note 6. Stock Options On June 20, 2013, the Company’s Board adopted the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and on November 15, 2013, a stockholder owning a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock approved adoption to the 2013 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Plan, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants in order to attract and hire key technical personnel and management. Options granted to employees under the 2013 Plan, including directors and officers who are employees, may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; options granted to others under the 2013 Plan are limited to non-qualified stock options. As of December 31, 2020, there were 13,962,695 shares available for future grants. The 2013 Plan is administered by the Board or a committee designated by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the officers, employees and consultants to whom options will be granted, the number of shares covered by each option, vesting rights and the terms and conditions of each option that is granted to them; however, no person may be granted options to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares in any one fiscal year under the 2013 Plan, and the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan are exercisable no later than ten years after the date of grant. The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted under the 2013 Plan will be the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of the Company's common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value. No option can be granted under the 2013 Plan after June 20, 2023. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2020: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2019 2,317,500 $ 3.41 5.68 $ 1,460,507 Grants 3,615,570 $ 2.31 Forfeited (37,500 ) $ 4.20 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 5,895,570 $ 2.45 5.14 $ 3,376,267 Vested and Exercisable at December 31, 2020 2,095,299 $ 2.06 5.06 $ 1,920,571 Unvested at December 31, 2020 3,800,271 $ 2.66 5.18 $ 1,455,696 46 The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of stock options is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected term of the stock options. The ranges of assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are set forth in the table below: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rate 0.21- 1.67% 1.65 % Expected term in years 3.25 - 6.00 3.33 Weighted Avg. Expected Volatility 97.20 – 110.71% 102 % Expected dividend yield 0% 0 % The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the expected term. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of an award. Our calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the term of the awards. The average expected life is based on the contractual terms of the stock option using the simplified method. We utilize a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no current intention to pay cash dividends. Future stock-based compensation may significantly differ based on changes in the fair value of our Common Stock and our estimates of expected volatility and the other relevant assumptions. The share-based compensation cost resulting from stock option grants, including those previously granted and vesting over time is expensed over the respective vesting periods.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Note 7. Leases | Note 7. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of an arrangement. If the Company determines that the arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at lease inception, it then determines whether the lease is an operating lease or finance lease. Operating and finance leases result in recording a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, the Company uses the non-cancellable lease term plus options to extend that it is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. As such, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any class of underlying asset. In February 2020, the Company entered into a two-year lease for office premises located at 4 Becker Farm Road, Suite 105, Roseland, New Jersey. Monthly base rent in year one of the lease is $4,356; and $4,459 in year 2 of the lease. The term (and payment of the monthly rent) commences upon substantial completion of the landlord’s work, which was expected to occur on or before May 31, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the lease term commenced on August 1, 2020. Supplemental lease information as of December 31, 2020: Right-of-use asset $ 79,462 Short-term operating lease liability $ 51,125 Long-term operating lease liability $ 28,607 Remaining term 1.6 years Discount rate 7 % The Company does not have any finance leases. Supplemental cash flow information for the nine months ended December 31, 2020: Cash paid for amount included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating lease $ 26,134 Right-of-use asset obtained in exchange for lease obligation $ 98,402 The Company leases office space under a non-cancellable operating lease expiring in 2022. Future lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities on the balance sheet at December 31, 2020 for future periods are as follows: Years ending December 31, 2020, 2021 $ 52,787 2022 $ 31,213 Total future minimum lease payments $ 84,000 Less imputed interest $ 4,538 Total $ 79,462 |

Note 10. Income Taxes | Note 10. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. There is no current or deferred tax expense for 2020 and 2019, due to the Company’s loss position. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes and has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The income tax effect of temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is a result of the following at December 31: 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets (liability): Net operating loss and contribution carryforwards $ 4,677,000 $ 3,838,000 Fixed asset 1,000 — Intangible asset (16,000 ) (14,000 ) Capital loss carryforward — — Charitable contributions 53,000 — Stock-based compensation 696,000 248,000 5,411,000 4,072,000 Valuation allowance (5,411,000 ) (4,072,000 ) Net deferred tax assets $ — $ — The 2020 increase in the valuation allowance was $1,339,000 compared to an increase of $711,000 in 2019. The Company has available net operating loss and contribution carryforwards of approximately $22,272,000 for tax purposes to offset future taxable income which $10,003,000 incurred prior to 2018 expire through the year 2037 while $12,269,000 incurred subsequent do not expire. Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, annual utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and contribution carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% is deemed to occur within any three-year period. The tax years 2017 through 2020 remain open to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates. A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective rate of income tax expense for the years ended December 31 follows: 2020 2019 Statutory federal income tax rate 21 % 21 % Permanent differences and other (3.91 )% 0 % NOL expirations (3.10 ) True-up 0.03 Valuation allowance (14.02 )% (21 )% Total 0 % 0 % |

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. RenovaCare Sciences Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 12, 2013. |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021. The Company does not expect ASU 2019-12 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures. The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion other than as discussed above. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements. |
Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to, determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the potential impairment of intangibles, the fair value of warrants issued, the fair value of stock options and other legal claims and contingencies. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial statements include cash and accounts payable which are short term in nature and, accordingly, approximate fair value. It is the Company’s policy to measure non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (such as evidence of impairment), which if material, are disclosed in the accompanying notes. |
Research and Development Expenses | Research and Development Expenses The Company expenses research and development expenses to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of (i) regulatory compliance, (ii) pilot-scale manufacturing of the Company’s cell isolations and SkinGun ™ The Company accounts for nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development as expenses when the services have been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. |
Equipment | Equipment Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are: Estimated Useful Lives Office equipment 3 - 5 years Furniture & equipment 5 - 7 years |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets The Company’s intangible asset consists primarily of the CellMist TM The Company assessed the following qualitative factors that could affect any change in the fair value of the intangible asset: analysis of the technology's current phase, additional testing necessary to bring the technology to market, development of competing products, changes in projections caused by delays, changes in regulations, changes in the market for the technology and changes in cost projections to bring the technology to market. Based on a qualitative assessment, management concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the intangible asset related to the CellMist TM |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company grants options to purchase common stock to its employees, directors and consultants under its stock option plan. The Company values these share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model (the “Black-Sholes model”). The determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. The variables include, expected term of the award, expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards and the risk-free interest rate. The Company accounts for forfeitures of share-based payment awards as they occur. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions, if any, taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. The Company has not included the effects of warrants, stock options and convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive. Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Years Ended 2020 2019 Basic and Diluted EPS Computation Numerator: Loss available to common stockholders $ (9,548,336 ) $ (3,358,082 ) Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 87,352,364 87,237,053 Basic and diluted EPS $ (0.11 ) $ (0.04 ) The shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted losses per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented: Stock options 5,895,570 2,317,500 Warrants 12,296,912 13,106,912 Total shares not included in the computation of diluted losses per share 18,192,482 15,424,412 |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions A related party is generally defined as (i) any person who holds 10% or more of the Company's securities and their immediate families; (ii) the Company's management; (iii) someone who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company; or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See “Note 9. Related Party Transactions” for further discussion. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains deposits in an accredited financial institution in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in a financial institution that it believes has high credit quality and has not experienced any losses on such account and does not believe it is exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. |
