The Company and Basis of Presentation | |
Note 1 - The Company and Basis of Presentation | N ote 1 - The Company and Basis of Presentation The Company AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (“ AzurRx Parent ProteaBio Europe SAS ABS Company The Company is engaged in the research and development of targeted, non-systemic therapies for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal (“ GI Our lead drug candidate is MS1819, a recombinant lipase for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (“ EPI CF In 2021, we are launching two new clinical programs using proprietary formulations of niclosamide, a small molecule with anthelminthic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. The first FW-1022, is for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (“ COVID-19 ICI-AC Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to research and development, business development, and raising capital, and has primarily financed its operations through issuance of common stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, and other debt/equity instruments. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development and regulatory success, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and ability to secure additional capital to fund clinical trials and operations. Historically, the Company’s major sources of cash have been comprised of proceeds from various public and private offerings of its capital stock. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $8.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced recurring negative operating cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $112.3 million as of June 30, 2021. The Company has implemented business continuity plans designed to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, our clinical development and regulatory efforts, our corporate development objectives and the value of and market for our Common Stock, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, such as the ultimate duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing and business closure requirements in the U.S., Europe and other countries, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain and treat the disease. The global economic slowdown, the overall disruption of global healthcare systems and the other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, the Company is subject to other challenges and risks specific to its business and its ability to execute on its strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of its drug candidates; delays or problems in the manufacture and supply of its drug candidates, loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or drug candidates; pharmaceutical product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; and the challenges of protecting and enhancing our intellectual property rights; complying with applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, to the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties discussed above. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“ GAAP In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, has been derived from audited financial statements of that date. The unaudited interim consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. Going Concern Uncertainty The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. On June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $112.3 million. The Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute its development plans and continue operations. Without adequate working capital, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and include certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements (including goodwill, intangible assets, and contingent consideration), and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash balances were highly liquid on June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $3.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in one account in the U.S. in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company mitigates its risk by maintaining the majority of its cash and equivalents with high quality financial institutions. The Company also has exposure to foreign currency risk as its subsidiary in France has a functional currency in Euros. Debt Instruments Detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt are measured at their relative fair value, if they are determined to be equity instrument, or their fair value, if they are determined to be liability instruments, and recorded as a debt discount. Conversion features that are in the money at the commitment date constitute a beneficial conversion feature that is measured at its intrinsic value and recognized as debt discount. Debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the maturity period of the debt using the effective interest method. Contingent beneficial conversion features are recognized when the contingency has been resolved. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the maturity period of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at fair value on the grant date per ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” (“ASC 820” As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions, which reflect those that a market participant would use. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company recognizes transfers between levels as if the transfers occurred on the last day of the reporting period. Foreign Currency Translation The Company’s foreign subsidiary has operations denominated in a foreign currency, and assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may be present. Any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of operations. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges through June 30, 2021. Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of in process research and development, license agreements, and patents reported at the fair value at date of the acquisition less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Patents 7.2 years Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360” Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740” The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions. All tax years are still open for audit. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ ROU License Agreements As more fully discussed in Note 14, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “ First Wave License Agreement First Wave As more fully discussed in Note 14, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with TransChem, Inc. (“ TransChem Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expense, except for goodwill related to patents. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, payments to third parties for preclinical and non-clinical activities, expenses with clinical research organizations (CROs), investigative sites, consultants and contractors that conduct or provide other services relating to clinical trials, costs to acquire drug product, drug supply and clinical trial materials from contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMOs) and third-party contractors relating to chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“ CMC Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s board of directors (the “ Board 2014 Plan 2020 Plan ASC 718 For awards with performance conditions that affect their vesting, such as the occurrence of certain transactions or the achievement of certain operating or financial milestones, recognition of fair value of the award occurs when vesting becomes probable. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock. Subsequent Events The Company considered events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but prior to the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued accounting pronouncement (ASU 2020-06) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity’s own equity. As a smaller reporting company, as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” |

Note 3 - Fair Value Disclosures | Note 3 - 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 in the most advantageous market 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.

The fair value of other receivables approximates carrying value as these consist primarily of French research and development tax credits that are normally received the following year.

The net proceeds to the Company from the January 2021 Offerings, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and expenses, was approximately $7.1 million. The Company used the net proceeds to fund the payment of cash consideration to First Wave under the First Wave License Agreement, and for other general corporate purposes. The Company paid the placement agent a cash fee equal to 8.0% and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company in the January 2021 Offerings, or approximately $700,000. The Company also agreed to issue to the placement agent or its designees warrants (the “ January 2021 Placement Agent Warrants Pursuant to the January 2021 Private Placement and the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to hold a meeting of its stockholders not later than March 31, 2021 to seek approval (the “ 2021 Stockholder Approval On February 24, 2021, the Company received the 2021 Stockholder Approval, and all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock. Accounting for the January 2021 Offerings Upon receiving the 2021 Stockholder Approval on February 24, 2021, the Company classified the Series C Preferred Stock as permanent equity because no features provide for redemption by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock or conditional redemption, which is not solely within the Company’s control, and there are no unconditional obligations in that (1) the Company must or may settle in a variable number of its equity shares and (2) the monetary value is predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the Company’s equity shares or varying inversely in relation to the Company’s equity shares. Because the Series C Preferred Stock contains certain embedded features that could affect the ultimate settlement of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company analyzed the instrument for embedded derivatives that require bifurcation. The Company’s analysis began with determining whether the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to equity or debt. The Company evaluated the following criteria/features in this determination: redemption, voting rights, collateral requirements, covenant provisions, creditor and liquidation rights, dividends, and conversion rights. The Company determined that the Series C Preferred Stock was more akin to equity than to debt when evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of the entire Series C Preferred Stock, including the embedded features. The Company then evaluated the embedded features to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks were clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the Series C Preferred Stock. Since the Series C Preferred Stock was determined to be more akin to equity than debt, and the underlying that causes the value of the embedded features to fluctuate would be the value of the Company’s common stock, the embedded features were considered clearly and closely related to the Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, the embedded features would not need to be bifurcated from the Series C Preferred Stock. The Company concluded the freestanding January 2021 Investor Warrants did not contain any provision that would require liability classification and therefore should be classified in stockholder’s equity, based on their relative fair value. The proceeds from the January 2021 Offerings were allocated to the Series C Preferred Stock and the January 2021 Investor Warrants based on their relative fair values. The total proceeds of approximately $7.1 million, net of $0.9 million offering costs, were allocated as follows: approximately $4.6 million to the Series C Preferred Stock and approximately $3.4 million to the January 2021 Investor Warrants. After allocation of the proceeds, the effective conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock was determined to be beneficial and, as a result, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of approximately $4.3 million equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature and recognized on the closing date and recorded as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in computing basic and diluted loss per share. The total offering costs of approximately $0.9 million were recognized in equity.

Note 13 - Stock Options | Note 13 - Stock Options Under the 2014 Plan and the 2020 Plan, the fair value of options granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the common stock price and the assumed risk-free interest rate. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest and the compensation cost from vested options, whether forfeited or not, is not reversed. On June 30, 2021, the Board rescinded and cancelled certain stock option awards previously made under the 2014 Plan (the “ Prior Awards New Awards The terms of the New Awards to Mr. Sapirstein (the “ New Sapirstein Awards The terms of the New Awards to Mr. Schneiderman (the “ New Schneiderman Awards During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued stock options under the 2020 Plan to new employees to purchase an aggregate of 36,000 shares of Common Stock with a strike price of $0.78 per share and a term of ten years that vest in equal monthly installments over three years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, excluding the Prior Awards described above, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 154,778 shares of Common Stock under the 2014 Plan were cancelled with strike prices ranging between $0.85 and $3.60 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 416,142 shares of Common Stock, subject to service-based milestone vesting conditions, vested with a total grant date fair value of approximately 305,000 which was recorded as stock-based compensation, of which approximately $245,000 was included as part of general and administrative expense and approximately $60,000 was included as part of research and development expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 755,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to performance-based milestone vesting conditions, vested due to the Company achieving certain clinical milestones, with a total grant date fair value of approximately $623,000 which was recorded as stock-based compensation, of which approximately $253,000 was included as part of general and administrative expense and approximately $370,000 was included as part of research and development expense. Stock options to purchase an aggregate of 437,500 shares of Common Stock, with a total grant date fair value of approximately $427,000, vested due to the Company completing enrollment of the Phase 2 OPTION 2 clinical trial. Stock options to purchase an aggregate of 210,000 shares of Common Stock, with a total grant date fair value of approximately $148,000, vested due to the Company’s public announcement of topline data for the Phase 2 OPTION 2 clinical trial. Stock options to purchase an aggregate of 7,500 shares of Common Stock, with a total grant date fair value of approximately $8,000, vested due to the Company completing enrollment of the Phase 2 Combination Trial in Europe.

The fair values were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: June 30, 2021 Contractual term (in years) 10 Volatility 83.8 - 90.6 % Risk-free interest rate 0.93 - 1.69 % Dividend yield - % The expected term of the options is based on expected future employee exercise behavior. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock if available or of several public entities that are similar to the Company. The Company bases volatility this way because it may not have sufficient historical transactions in its own shares on which to solely base expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The Company has not historically declared any dividends and does not expect to in the future.

Note 17 - Net Loss per Common Share | Note 17 - Net Loss per Common Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt that are not deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method. On June 30, 2021, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 7,060,539 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series B preferred stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends through June 30, 2021, 54,556,620 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, 112,000 shares of restricted stock not yet issued, 275,000 unearned shares of restricted stock and RSUs, and 4,295,191 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options as their effect would be antidilutive during the periods prior to conversion.

Use of Estimates | The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and include certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements (including goodwill, intangible assets, and contingent consideration), and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash balances were highly liquid on June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $3.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in one account in the U.S. in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company mitigates its risk by maintaining the majority of its cash and equivalents with high quality financial institutions. The Company also has exposure to foreign currency risk as its subsidiary in France has a functional currency in Euros. |
Debt Instruments | Detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt are measured at their relative fair value, if they are determined to be equity instrument, or their fair value, if they are determined to be liability instruments, and recorded as a debt discount. Conversion features that are in the money at the commitment date constitute a beneficial conversion feature that is measured at its intrinsic value and recognized as debt discount. Debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the maturity period of the debt using the effective interest method. Contingent beneficial conversion features are recognized when the contingency has been resolved. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the maturity period of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. |
Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees | Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at fair value on the grant date per ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. |
Fair Value Measurements | The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” (“ASC 820” As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions, which reflect those that a market participant would use. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company recognizes transfers between levels as if the transfers occurred on the last day of the reporting period. |
Foreign Currency Translation | The Company’s foreign subsidiary has operations denominated in a foreign currency, and assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may be present. Any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of operations. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges through June 30, 2021. Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of in process research and development, license agreements, and patents reported at the fair value at date of the acquisition less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Patents 7.2 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360” |
Income Taxes | Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740” The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. On June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions. All tax years are still open for audit. |
Leases | The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ ROU |
License Agreements | As more fully discussed in Note 14, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “ First Wave License Agreement First Wave As more fully discussed in Note 14, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with TransChem, Inc. (“ TransChem |
Research and Development | Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expense, except for goodwill related to patents. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, payments to third parties for preclinical and non-clinical activities, expenses with clinical research organizations (CROs), investigative sites, consultants and contractors that conduct or provide other services relating to clinical trials, costs to acquire drug product, drug supply and clinical trial materials from contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMOs) and third-party contractors relating to chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“ CMC |
Stock-Based Compensation | The Company’s board of directors (the “ Board 2014 Plan 2020 Plan ASC 718 For awards with performance conditions that affect their vesting, such as the occurrence of certain transactions or the achievement of certain operating or financial milestones, recognition of fair value of the award occurs when vesting becomes probable. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock. |
Subsequent Events | The Company considered events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but prior to the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In August 2020, the FASB issued accounting pronouncement (ASU 2020-06) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity’s own equity.
