Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring, and other adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods. Net Loss Per Share In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, shares issuable for little or no cash consideration are considered outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per share. As such, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company included pre-funded warrants to purchase 253,828 shares of common stock in its computation of net loss per share. The pre-funded warrants were issued in November 2019 with an exercise price of $0.001 . See Note 8. In periods with a net loss, no common share equivalents are included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2023 and 2022, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 1,630,695 and 1,382,402 shares, respectively, and exclude pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard, if adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
