SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES | NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future period. All references to September 30, 2022 and 2021 in these footnotes are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company, Rebus Holdings, Inc., (fka Inspyr Therapeutics, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inspyr Therapeutics, Inc., Lewis & Clark Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Ridgeway Therapeutics, Inc. (a California corporation). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Reverse Stock Split and Increase in Authorized Shares The one for seventy-five ( 1-for-75 All share and per share data has been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes for all periods presented to reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Split. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Significant estimates include the fair value of derivative instruments, stock-based compensation, recognition of clinical trial costs and other accrued liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for pre-clinical research, toxicology and other studies, manufacturing, clinical trials, compensation and consulting costs associated therewith. We incurred research and development expenses of approximately $ 0.03 0.1 0.2 0.2 Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed applicable government mandate insurance limits. We have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We did no Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may exceed applicable government mandated insurance limits. Cash was $ 0.1 0.7 no Income (Loss) per Share Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, as they would be anti-dilutive: Schedule of Antidilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 Shares underlying options outstanding - 9 Shares underlying warrants outstanding 1 53 Shares underlying convertible notes outstanding - - Shares underlying convertible preferred stock outstanding 3,272,472 95,250 3,272,473 95,312 Diluted loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the nine months ended September 30, 2021, is calculated as follows: Schedule of Diluted loss per share Three months ended Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2021 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 316 $ 6,125 $ 2,646 Income attributable to convertible instruments (442 ) (6,612 ) (4,131 ) Expense attributable to convertible instruments - 272 924 Diluted loss attributable to common shareholders $ (126 ) $ (215 ) $ (561 ) Basic shares outstanding 32,132,907 7,612,241 6,740,889 Dilutive convertible instruments 148,870,927 30,924,532 14,187,583 Diluted shares outstanding 181,003,834 38,536,773 20,928,472 Diluted loss per share $ (0.00 ) $ (0.01 ) $ (0.03 ) Derivative Liability The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. The Company values its derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments with maturities of one year or less when acquired. We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. The derivative liabilities consist of our convertible notes and Series F preferred stock with variable conversion features. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its derivative liabilities which incorporate the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free interest rate, dividend rate, and estimated life. Fair Value Measurements The U.S. GAAP Valuation Hierarchy establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has recorded a derivative liability for its convertible notes and preferred stock with variable conversion features as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The tables below summarize the fair values of our financial liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands): Schedule of fair values of financial liabilities Fair Value at Fair Value Measurement Using 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Convertible notes $ 363 - - $ 363 Preferred stock 1,271 - - 1,271 Derivative liability $ 1,634 $ - $ - $ 1,634 Fair Value at Fair Value Measurement Using 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Convertible notes $ 518 - - $ 518 Preferred stock 606 - - 606 Derivative liability $ 1,124 $ - $ - $ 1,124 The reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows (in thousands): Schedule of derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of year $ 1,124 $ 6,828 Additions to derivative instruments - 1,354 Reclassification on conversion (507 ) (3,223 ) Loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivative liability 1,017 (3,001 ) Balance at end of year $ 1,634 $ 1,958 Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have not been any recent changes in accounting pronouncements and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company. |
