Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Business, Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Business, Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Overview Kiora Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Kiora” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on December 28, 2004. Kiora is a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of orphan retinal diseases. Since its inception, Kiora has devoted substantially all its efforts to business planning, research and development, and raising capital. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes previously distributed in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 23, 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements of the Company but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Reverse Stock Split On September 23, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-forty ("1-for-40") reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 23, 2022, and by the Company’s board of directors. The amendment became effective on September 27, 2022. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment. As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, and restricted stock awards issued by the Company and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, and restricted stock awards, and, in the case of stock options, a proportionate increase in the exercise price of all such stock options. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment was reduced proportionately. The reverse stock split did not affect the number of shares or par value of common stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which remained at 50,000,000 shares. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof. The reverse stock split affected all stockholders proportionately and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership of the Company’s common stock (except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any stockholder owning only a fractional share). As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of September 27, 2022 decreased from 43,163,123 (pre-split) shares to 1,079,045 (post-split) shares. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, related footnotes, and management’s discussion and analysis have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. While the number of warrants outstanding did not change, the underlying shares did and are presented reflecting the split. The Company’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on September 27, 2022. Going Concern The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Kiora will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2023, Kiora had unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents of $8.0 million, and an Accumulated Deficit of $138.9 million. Kiora has incurred losses and negative cash flows since inception, and future losses are anticipated. Based on the cash on hand as of June 30, 2023, the Company anticipates having sufficient cash to fund planned operations into May 2024, however, the acceleration or reduction of cash outflows by Company management can significantly impact the timing for the need to raise additional capital to complete development of its products. To continue development, Kiora will need to raise additional capital through equity financing, license agreements, and/or grants. Although historically the Company has been successful at raising capital, most recently raising net proceeds of approximately $5.6 million in a public offering that closed on June 6, 2023, as well as an equity line of credit that provides an additional $9.6 million (subject to certain limitations), additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to Kiora, if at all. The Company does not know if any future offerings will succeed. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that Company management will succeed in these endeavors. The factors described above have caused management to determine there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Significant Accounting Policies Refunds for Research and Development Kiora, through its Kiora Pharmaceuticals GmbH and Kiora Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd subsidiaries, is entitled to receive certain refundable tax incentives associated with eligible research and development expenses in Austria and Australia, respectively. These refunds are realized in the form of a cash payment in the year following the incurred research and development expenses. The Company records estimates of the refundable payment as a tax receivable and a reduction in expense in the period in which the research and development expenses are incurred. Related-Party Transactions For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made payments totaling approximately $0.1 million for services to a related party vendor, Ora, Inc., who is providing the Company with clinical study services for KIO-301. One of the Company’s directors is an executive at Ora, Inc. Adoption of Accounting Standards In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity . This guidance removes the liability and equity separation models for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature or beneficial conversion feature. As a result, companies will more likely account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account). In addition, the guidance simplifies the settlement assessment that issuers perform to determine whether a contract in their own equity qualifies for equity classification. Finally, the guidance requires entities to use the if-converted method to calculate earnings per share for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect for the Company.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | Fair Value Disclosures Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. In connection with historical acquisitions, additional consideration may be paid related to the achievement of certain milestones and such contingent consideration is required by U.S. GAAP to be presented at fair value. The following table provides information for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Contingent Consideration: Current $ 313,853 $ 322,385 Non-current 3,670,252 3,309,175 Total Contingent Consideration $ 3,984,105 $ 3,631,560 The Company initially values contingent consideration related to business combinations using a probability-weighted calculation of potential payment scenarios discounted at rates reflective of the risks associated with the expected future cash flows for certain milestones. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration include projected financial information, market data and the probability and timing of achieving the specific milestones. After the initial valuation, the Company generally uses its best estimate to measure contingent consideration at each subsequent reporting period using the following unobservable Level 3 inputs: Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Discounted cash flow Payment discount rate 12.8 % 14.7 % Bayon Payment period 2023 - 2028 2023 - 2028 Panoptes Payment period 2024 - 2028 2024 - 2028 Jade Payment period 2026 2026 Bayon Probability of success for payment 17% - 67% 17% - 67% Panoptes Probability of success for payment 17% - 36% 17% - 36% Jade Probability of success for payment 56 % 56 % Significant changes in these assumptions could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value. The contingent consideration reported in the above table is adjusted quarterly based upon the passage of time or the anticipated success or failure of achieving certain milestones. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily driven by a decreased |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Capital Stock | Capital Stock In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Panoptes Pharma GmbH (“Panoptes”) in December 2020, on June 18, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,086 shares of common stock to former shareholders of Panoptes, which had been held back for a period of eighteen months following the closing of the Panoptes acquisition to satisfy post-closing adjustment and indemnification obligations pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and the former shareholders of Panoptes. On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement to issue and sell stock and warrants in a public offering. On July 25, 2022, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option granted by the Company to purchase stock and warrants. On July 26, 2022, the public offering closed, and the Company issued and sold (i) 592,392 shares of common stock (including 98,138 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option), (ii) 1,280 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into up to 160,000 shares of common stock, (iii) 30,095,697 Class A Warrants (including 3,925,525 Class A Warrants sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option), and (iv) 30,095,697 Class B Warrants (including 3,925,525 Class B Warrants sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option). Upon exercise, the warrants will convert on a 40 for 1 basis into a total of 1,504,785 common shares. The public offering price of $8.00 per share of common stock, Class A Warrant and Class B Warrant or $1,000 per share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, 5,000 Class A Warrants and 5,000 Class B Warrants resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.3 million net of underwriting discount and commissions of $0.4 million and expense of $0.3 million. Each warrant is exercisable at a price per share of common stock of $8.00. The Class A Warrants will expire on September 23, 2023 and the Class B Warrants will expire on September 23, 2027. The exercise prices of the warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock. During August 2022, all holders of the Series E Preferred Shares issued in the July 2022 public offering elected to convert their Series E Preferred Shares into 160,000 shares of common stock. On November 17, 2022, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters with some of the Class A Warrant holders who agreed to exercise for cash all of their Class A Warrants to purchase 654,609 shares of common stock originally issued in the July 2022 public offering in exchange for the Company's agreement to issue new warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) on substantially the same terms as the Class A Warrants to purchase up to 654,609 shares of common stock. Each Inducement Warrant is exercisable at a price per share of common stock of $5.97. Each Inducement Warrant became initially exercisable six months following its date of issuance, and will expire on the eighteen month anniversary of their initial exercise date. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 million from the exercise of the Class A Warrants by the selling stockholders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants. The Company paid its placement agent in connection with the inducement transactions a fee equal to 8% of gross proceeds from the exercise of the Class A Warrants. On February 3, 2023, the Company completed a private placement with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC ("Lincoln Park") for 52,798 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 105,596 shares of common stock. The total net proceeds from the private placement were approximately $0.1 million. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.538 per share, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the warrants, and will be exercisable on the six-month anniversary of the closing date. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the issuance date. On February 3, 2023, the Company also entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of common stock (subject to certain limitations), from time to time and at the Company's sole discretion over the term of the purchase agreement. On February 22, 2023, the Company completed its first issuance under this agreement for a total of 20,000 shares sold to Lincoln Park for proceeds of $0.1 million. In April 2023, the Company completed additional issuances for a total of 105,000 shares sold to Lincoln Park for proceeds of $0.3 million. On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement to issue and sell stock and warrants in a public offering. On June 6, 2023, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option granted by the Company to purchase stock and warrants. On June 6, 2023, the public offering closed, and the Company issued and sold (i) 2,197,628 shares of common stock (including 750,000 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option), (ii) 3,908 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into up to 3,552,372 shares of common stock, (iii) 5,750,000 Class C Warrants (including 750,000 Class C Warrants sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option), and (iv) 5,750,000 Class D Warrants (including 750,000 Class D Warrants sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option). The public offering price of $1.10 per share of common stock, Class C Warrant and Class D Warrant, and $999.90 per share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, 909 Class C Warrants and 909 Class D Warrants, resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.6 million net of underwriting discount and commissions of $0.5 million and other expenses of $0.2 million. Each Warrant is exercisable at a price per share of common stock of $1.10. The Class C Warrants will expire on June 6, 2028 and the Class D Warrants will expire on June 6, 2024. The exercise prices of the warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock. In addition, on August 5th, the 60th calendar day immediately following the initial exercise day, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the lesser of (i) the exercise price then in effect and (ii) 90% of the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock for the five (5) trading day period immediately prior to the reset date. During June 2023, 2,958 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 2,688,822 shares of common stock. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Share - Basic and Diluted | Net Loss per Share - Basic and Diluted Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the time period, which for basic net loss per share, does not include the weighted-average unvested restricted common stock that has been issued and is subject to forfeiture totaling 0 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 40,550 and 0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options, warrants, and preferred stock and are calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes the repurchase of common shares at the average market price during the period. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect when the average price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of options or warrants. Common equivalent shares do not qualify as participating securities. In periods where the Company records a net loss unvested restricted common stock and potential common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Equity Incentive Plans In 2005, the Company approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides for the granting of stock options (incentive and nonqualified), restricted stock or other stock-based awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors. During 2010, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan was increased to 59,414 shares. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for administration of the 2005 Plan. The Company’s Board determines the term of each option, the option exercise price, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable. Incentive stock options may be granted to any officer or employee at an exercise price per share of not less than the fair value per common share on the date of the grant (not less than 110% of fair value in the case of holders of more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock) and with a term not to exceed ten years from the date of the grant (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock). Nonqualified stock options may be granted to any officer, employee, consultant, or director at an exercise price per share of not less than the par value per share. Following adoption of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), no further grants were made under the 2005 Plan. General terms of the 2014 Plan remain the same as that of the 2005 plan. The Company’s Board adopted the 2014 Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), and the Company’s Stockholders approved the 2014 Plan and the ESPP Plan in February 2015. In January 2023, the number of shares of common stock issuable under the 2014 Plan automatically increased by 76,632 shares pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Plan. As of June 30, 2023, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan was 297,363 of which 14,927 shares were available for awards. Stock-based compensation expense is presented in the same expense line items as cash compensation earned and for the three and six months ended June 30 is as follows: Three months ended June 30 Six months ended June 30 2023 2022 2023 2022 Research and Development $ 66,226 $ 26,540 $ 130,913 $ 59,160 General and Administrative 105,569 44,714 176,823 228,015 Total Stock-Based Compensation Expense $ 171,795 $ 71,254 $ 307,736 $ 287,175 Stock Options The Company grants time-based stock options which generally vest one-third of the underlying shares on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remainder ratably over a 24-month period. The fair value of time-based stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, with such value recognized as expense over the service period, which is typically three years, net of actual forfeitures. A summary of the Company’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is shown in the following table. Six months ended June 30 2023 2022 Risk-Free Interest Rate 4.24 % 2.42 % Expected Life (years) 5.00 5.00 Expected Stock Price Volatility 142 % 140 % Expected Dividend Yield — % — % The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $3.26 and $27.08, respectively. The expected term of the options granted is calculated in accordance with the simplified method, whereby for service-based awards the expected life is calculated as a midpoint between the vest and expiry period. The Company uses the simplified method as there is not a sufficient history of share option exercises.. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is determined based upon a constant U.S. Treasury security rate with a contractual life that approximates the expected term of the option. Unamortized compensation expense related to the options amounted to $0.9 million as of June 30, 2023 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.02 years. Following is a summary of stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023: Number of Weighted Average Weighted Average Outstanding at December 31, 2022 84,722 $ 36.90 9.59 Granted 135,900 $ 3.62 Expired (44) $ 295.00 Forfeited (9,452) $ 7.93 Outstanding at June 30, 2023 211,126 $ 16.72 9.45 Exercisable and vested at June 30, 2023 8,275 $ 285.03 7.08 The stock options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2023 had no aggregate intrinsic value. The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company’s common stock for options that had exercise prices lower than $0.64, the closing price of the Company’s stock on June 30, 2023. Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is typically one-third of the underlying shares on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remainder ratably over a 24-month period. Unamortized compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards amounted to $0.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.50 years. The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023: Number of Weighted Average Weighted Average Non-vested Outstanding at December 31, 2022 30,000 $ 6.78 2.79 Awarded 40,550 $ 3.83 Forfeited (3,300) $ 3.83 Non-vested Outstanding at June 30, 2023 67,250 $ 5.15 2.50 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company has a non-qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), which provides for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible employees of the Company that elect to participate in the plan and purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions at a discounted price. Six month offering periods are made at the Board’s discretion. The ESPP provides for 284 aggregate shares of the Company’s common stock for participants to purchase. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the remaining shares reserved for future offerings was 191. |

These policies provide coverage for a variety of potential losses, including loss or damage to property, bodily injury, general commercial liability, professional errors and omissions and medical malpractice. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law. As guidance is released the Company is continually evaluating the impact of the recently enacted law. However, the Company does not expect the impact to be material to its accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events On July 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Choroideremia Research Foundation ("CRF") to support strategic development of KIO-301 in Choroideremia ("CHM"). CHM is a rare, inherited retinal disease that causes blindness. This collaboration will accelerate the Company's development of KIO-301, a small molecule designed to restore vision in patients with later-stage retinal degeneration. Under the collaboration, CRF will assist the Company with access to clinical and scientific thought leaders to assist in further development of KIO-301 for CHM. They will also provide aid in enrollment of patients for any future trials of KIO-301 for CHM. In July 2023, 370 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 336,330 shares of common stock. On August 5, 2023, the Class C and Class D warrants exercise price reset to $0.5231 per share pursuant to the reset provision which stated that the warrants would be reduced to the lesser of (i) the exercise price then in effect and (ii) 90% of the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock for the five (5) trading day period immediately prior to the reset date. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes previously distributed in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 23, 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements of the Company but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. |
Reverse Stock Split | Reverse Stock Split On September 23, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-forty ("1-for-40") reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 23, 2022, and by the Company’s board of directors. The amendment became effective on September 27, 2022. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment. As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, and restricted stock awards issued by the Company and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, and restricted stock awards, and, in the case of stock options, a proportionate increase in the exercise price of all such stock options. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment was reduced proportionately. The reverse stock split did not affect the number of shares or par value of common stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which remained at 50,000,000 shares. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof. The reverse stock split affected all stockholders proportionately and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership of the Company’s common stock (except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any stockholder owning only a fractional share). As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of September 27, 2022 decreased from 43,163,123 (pre-split) shares to 1,079,045 (post-split) shares. |
Going Concern | Going Concern The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Kiora will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2023, Kiora had unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents of $8.0 million, and an Accumulated Deficit of $138.9 million. Kiora has incurred losses and negative cash flows since inception, and future losses are anticipated. Based on the cash on hand as of June 30, 2023, the Company anticipates having sufficient cash to fund planned operations into May 2024, however, the acceleration or reduction of cash outflows by Company management can significantly impact the timing for the need to raise additional capital to complete development of its products. To continue development, Kiora will need to raise additional capital through equity financing, license agreements, and/or grants. Although historically the Company has been successful at raising capital, most recently raising net proceeds of approximately $5.6 million in a public offering that closed on June 6, 2023, as well as an equity line of credit that provides an additional $9.6 million (subject to certain limitations), additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to Kiora, if at all. The Company does not know if any future offerings will succeed. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that Company management will succeed in these endeavors. The factors described above have caused management to determine there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
Refunds for Research and Development | Refunds for Research and DevelopmentKiora, through its Kiora Pharmaceuticals GmbH and Kiora Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd subsidiaries, is entitled to receive certain refundable tax incentives associated with eligible research and development expenses in Austria and Australia, respectively. These refunds are realized in the form of a cash payment in the year following the incurred research and development expenses. The Company records estimates of the refundable payment as a tax receivable and a reduction in expense in the period in which the research and development expenses are incurred. |
Related-Party Transactions | Related-Party TransactionsFor the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made payments totaling approximately $0.1 million for services to a related party vendor, Ora, Inc., who is providing the Company with clinical study services for KIO-301. One of the Company’s directors is an executive at Ora, Inc. |
Adoption of Accounting Standards | Adoption of Accounting Standards In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity . This guidance removes the liability and equity separation models for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature or beneficial conversion feature. As a result, companies will more likely account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account). In addition, the guidance simplifies the settlement assessment that issuers perform to determine whether a contract in their own equity qualifies for equity classification. Finally, the guidance requires entities to use the if-converted method to calculate earnings per share for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect for the Company. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) to clarify an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Specifically, the ASU provides a principles-based framework to determine whether an issuer should recognize the modification or exchange as an adjustment to equity or an expense. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have a material effect for the Company. In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, which requires business entities to disclose information about certain government assistance they receive. Such disclosure requirements include the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and significant terms and conditions of the transactions. ASU 2021-10 was effective for the Company January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-10 did not have a material effect for the Company. |
