1. Organization | |
Q Therapeutics, Inc. (Q Therapeutics) conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Q Therapeutic Products, Inc. (Q Products) and Q Products’ wholly owned subsidiary, NeuroQ Research, Inc. (collectively, the Company). Q Therapeutics is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based biopharmaceutical company that is developing human cell-based therapies intended to treat degenerative diseases and injuries of the brain and spinal cord, the primary components of the central nervous system (CNS). | |
These potential therapies are based on technology developed by Q Products’ co-founder Mahendra Rao, M.D., Ph.D., a leader in glial stem cell biology, during his tenure at the University of Utah and as Head of the Stem Cell Section in the Laboratory of Neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Rao was one of the first scientists to identify and seek patent coverage on stem cells and their progeny cells found in the CNS. After licensing Dr. Rao’s technology from the University of Utah and NIH, Q Products commenced operations in the spring of 2004 to develop cell-based therapeutic products that can be sold as “off-the-shelf” pharmaceuticals. |

Significant Accounting Policies | ' |
2. Significant Accounting Policies | |
The following significant accounting policies are followed in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements: | |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 15, 2014. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), and include all assets and liabilities of Q Therapeutics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Q Products. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. | |
Liquidity | |
The Company has not generated significant revenues and has been focused on developing its products. Historically, the Company has been dependent on government grants and debt and equity raised from individual investors to sustain its operations. The Company’s continued operations will depend on its ability to raise funds through similar sources. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on favorable terms or at all. If it is unable to raise additional capital, the Company will likely be forced to curtail desired development activities, which will delay the development of its product candidates. The Company’s products have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial sale; therefore, the Company has not generated revenues from commercial therapeutic product sales. The Company has incurred losses and used cash for operating activities. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $25,786,305. | |
2014 Financing Transactions | |
Between March 7 and April 14, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,420,530 units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, in which the Company received cash consideration of $2,012,500 and settled indebtedness of $2,408,030 (2014 Financing Transactions). The warrants were issued with an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share, are immediately exercisable, and expire in no more than four years. Both the shares of common stock and the warrants issued in the 2014 Financing Transactions have a “down-round” protection provision provided to the investors in the financing. With respect to the common shares and warrants issued in the 2014 Financing Transactions, with certain exceptions, if the Company subsequently issues or sells any shares of common stock or any common stock equivalents pursuant to which shares of common stock may be acquired at a price less than $1.00 per share, then the Company shall promptly issue additional shares of common stock to the investor in an amount such that the subscription price paid, when divided by the total number of shares issued will result in an actual price paid per share of common stock equal to such lower price and with respect to warrants, the warrant exercise price shall be reduced to the lesser price at which the common stock or common stock equivalents were issued. The down-round provisions expire upon the earlier of (1) the effectiveness of a registration statement with the SEC registering the shares of common stock issued and the common shares underlying warrants issued in the 2014 Financing Transactions, or (2) one year after the issuance date. | |
On June 30, 2014, the Company issued 854,363 shares of common stock as well as warrants to purchase 1,277,363 shares of common stock resulting from the third tranche of financing in which the Company received cash consideration of $3,500 and settled indebtedness of $850,863. The common stock and warrants have terms similar to those in the 2014 Financing Transactions. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, useful lives for property and equipment, valuation allowances for net deferred income tax assets, and valuations for stock-based compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. | |
Revenue Recognition and Grants Receivable | |
The Company periodically applies for research grants, including as a sub-recipient to grants funded by government agencies through research universities. Grant revenues are recognized as associated expenses are incurred and are billed in conjunction with the terms of the grants. The Company records its grants receivable in accordance with the provisions of the grant agreements. The Company’s grants receivable are considered past due when payment has not been received within 30 days of the invoice date, although certain institutions customarily do not pay within these terms. The amounts of the specific reserves are estimated by management based on various assumptions including the age of the individual receivable, as well as changes in payment schedules and histories. Receivable balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when management determines the potential for recovery is remote. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded when payment is received. | |
In June 2014, the Company was notified of a sub-award as part of the fourth and final year of grant funding awarded to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the National Institutes of Health. The sub-award for the 2014 grant plan year is $677,864. As of June 30, 2014, $500,216 has been billed and is included in receivables. | |
Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Company calculates the estimated fair value of its stock options and warrants on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense as services are provided, which is generally over the vesting period of the individual equity instruments. Expense related to stock options issued in lieu of cash to non-employees for services performed are measured at the fair value of the options on the date they are earned. | |
The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is based on the volatility of publicly traded companies in the same industry segment as the Company. The expected lives of the options and warrants granted represent the periods of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rates for periods within the contractual lives of the options and warrants are based on the U.S. treasury securities constant maturity rate that corresponds to the expected terms in effect at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. | |
Net Loss Per Common Share | |
Basic net loss per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire common stock. | |
Due to the fact that for all periods presented the Company has incurred net losses, potential dilutive common share equivalents as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, totaling 25,238,364 and 15,969,958, respectively, are not included in the calculation of Diluted EPS because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic net loss per common share is the same as diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
The Company has elected early adoption of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-10, Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 removes all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities, including but not limited to, inception-to-date financial information included on the statements of operations, statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and statements of cash flows. As a result of the Company’s early adoption, all references to the Company as a development stage entity have been removed. The adoption of this pronouncement has no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. |

5. Notes Payable | |
Between August 12 and September 30, 2013, the Company received $250,000 in cash proceeds resulting from a bridge financing by certain note holders, some of which were also considered affiliates, as evidenced by promissory notes. The notes were issued at 50% of face value, bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum, and matured beginning February 5, 2014. | |
In February 2014, the largest note holder agreed to extend the maturity date for its $400,000 note for an additional 180 days, in exchange for certain call right language being removed from warrants the note holder had acquired in 2011. On March 7, 2014, the remaining note holder converted its note totaling $104,000, including interest, into units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock as part of the 2014 Financing Transactions (see Note 2). | |
In June 2014, the largest note holder converted its notes totaling $427,863, including interest, into units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock (see Note 2). | |
To date, the Company has recorded interest relating to the notes of $281,862, of which $250,000 pertained to the amortization of the debt discount. As of June 30, 2014, the debt discount has been fully amortized and all notes are paid in full. | |
The effective interest rate related to this financing is approximately 156%. |

6. Derivative Liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
In connection with the 2014 Financing Transactions, the Company recorded a derivative liability related to down-round protection provided to the stockholders in the event that the Company completes another offering of units, similar to those issued in the 2014 Financing Transactions, at a price below $1.00 per share. The down-round provision expires upon the earlier of the effectiveness of a registration statement with the SEC or one year after the issuance date. With the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, the Company valued the derivative liability pursuant to the accounting guidance of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair values for derivative liabilities are determined using the Monte-Carlo Simulation Model valuation technique. The Monte-Carlo Simulation Model provides for dynamic assumptions regarding volatility and risk-free interest rates within the total period to expected conversion. In addition, management assessed the probabilities of future financing assumptions. | |||||||||||||||||
As defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 820-10, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2 | Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or market corroborated inputs. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would value the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosure each quarter. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 are summarized as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value as of June 30, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation, Policy | ' |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 15, 2014. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), and include all assets and liabilities of Q Therapeutics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Q Products. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. | |
Liquidity, Policy | ' |
Liquidity | |
The Company has not generated significant revenues and has been focused on developing its products. Historically, the Company has been dependent on government grants and debt and equity raised from individual investors to sustain its operations. The Company’s continued operations will depend on its ability to raise funds through similar sources. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on favorable terms or at all. If it is unable to raise additional capital, the Company will likely be forced to curtail desired development activities, which will delay the development of its product candidates. The Company’s products have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial sale; therefore, the Company has not generated revenues from commercial therapeutic product sales. The Company has incurred losses and used cash for operating activities. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $25,786,305. | |
Use of Estimates, Policy | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, useful lives for property and equipment, valuation allowances for net deferred income tax assets, and valuations for stock-based compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. | |
Revenue Recognition and Grants Receivable, Policy | ' |
Revenue Recognition and Grants Receivable | |
The Company periodically applies for research grants, including as a sub-recipient to grants funded by government agencies through research universities. Grant revenues are recognized as associated expenses are incurred and are billed in conjunction with the terms of the grants. The Company records its grants receivable in accordance with the provisions of the grant agreements. The Company’s grants receivable are considered past due when payment has not been received within 30 days of the invoice date, although certain institutions customarily do not pay within these terms. The amounts of the specific reserves are estimated by management based on various assumptions including the age of the individual receivable, as well as changes in payment schedules and histories. Receivable balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when management determines the potential for recovery is remote. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded when payment is received. | |
In June 2014, the Company was notified of a sub-award as part of the fourth and final year of grant funding awarded to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the National Institutes of Health. The sub-award for the 2014 grant plan year is $677,864. As of June 30, 2014, $500,216 has been billed and is included in receivables. | |
Stock-Based Compensation, Policy | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Company calculates the estimated fair value of its stock options and warrants on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense as services are provided, which is generally over the vesting period of the individual equity instruments. Expense related to stock options issued in lieu of cash to non-employees for services performed are measured at the fair value of the options on the date they are earned. | |
The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is based on the volatility of publicly traded companies in the same industry segment as the Company. The expected lives of the options and warrants granted represent the periods of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rates for periods within the contractual lives of the options and warrants are based on the U.S. treasury securities constant maturity rate that corresponds to the expected terms in effect at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. | |
Net Loss Per Common Share, Policy | ' |
Net Loss Per Common Share | |
Basic net loss per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire common stock. | |
Due to the fact that for all periods presented the Company has incurred net losses, potential dilutive common share equivalents as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, totaling 25,238,364 and 15,969,958, respectively, are not included in the calculation of Diluted EPS because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic net loss per common share is the same as diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Policy | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
The Company has elected early adoption of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-10, Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 removes all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities, including but not limited to, inception-to-date financial information included on the statements of operations, statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and statements of cash flows. As a result of the Company’s early adoption, all references to the Company as a development stage entity have been removed. The adoption of this pronouncement has no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. |
