Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Organization, Nature and Continuance of Operations, Applicable Accounting Guidance and Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial statements of RenovaCare, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2018, and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States for interim financial reporting and include the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Companys Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. Organization RenovaCare, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiary, focuses on the acquisition, research, development and, if warranted, commercialization of autologous (using a patient's own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications. On July 12, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp., completed the acquisition of its flagship technologies (collectively, the CellMist TM The CellMist TM CellMist TM SkinGun TM TM TM Nature and Continuance of Operations The Company does not have any commercialized products. The Company's activities have consisted principally of performing research and development activities and raising capital. These development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including possible failure of preclinical testing. The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies and expects that it will need to raise additional capital through the sale of its securities to accomplish its business plan and failing to secure such additional funding before achieving sustainable revenue and profit from operations poses a significant risk. The Company's ability to fund the development of its cellular therapies will depend on the amount and timing of cash receipts from future financing activities. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $2,906,000 of cash on hand and current liabilities of $269,000. On February 13, 2018, the Company received $110,000 upon the exercise of 100,000 Series D Warrants. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $2,385,000 of cash on hand. The Company believes that it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next year. Therefore, the conditions which initially indicated substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern have been alleviated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Companys ability to establish itself as a profitable business. Applicable Accounting Guidance 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 July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-09 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates a new topic, ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will currently have no impact on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 to further clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Companys 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. Earnings (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 three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Basic and Diluted EPS Computation Numerator: Loss available to common stockholders' $ (649,147 ) $ (571,824 ) Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 76,498,552 71,708,814 Basic and diluted EPS $ (0.01 ) $ (0.01 ) 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 357,500 235,000 Warrants 3,011,912 2,343,401 Convertible debt 629,954 643,074 Total shares not included in the computation of diluted losses per share 3,999,366 3,221,475 |
