GENERAL | |
GENERAL | NOTE 1 – GENERAL: a. Nuvectis Pharma Inc. (formerly Centry Pharma Inc.) (hereafter – the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 27, 2020 and commenced its principal operations in May 2021. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at Fort Lee in the state of New Jersey. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel targeted small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of cancer in genetically defined patient populations. The Company’s precision medicine approach translates key scientific insights relating to the oncogenic drivers and pathway addiction of cancer into potent and highly selective anticancer drugs. b. In May 2021, the Company entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with the CRT Pioneer Fund (“CRT”) (see Note 3a). c. In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved and declared a 100 :1 stock split of common and preferred shares. In addition, in October 2021 the Company’s board of directors approved a 39 :1 stock split of common stock. All share and per share amounts reflected in these unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect these share splits. d. In August 2021, the Company entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with the University of Edinburgh, Scotland for the Company’s second drug candidate (see Note 3a). e. In February 2022, the Company’s shares began trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol “NVCT”. f. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has incurred net operating losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $15.8 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. To date, the Company has been able to fund its operations primarily through the issuance and sale of common stock and redeemable convertible preferred shares. Management believes that its existing cash, and cash equivalents enable the Company to fund planned operations for at least 12 months following the issuance date of these condensed financial statements. The Company will need to raise additional capital in order to complete the clinical trials aimed at developing the product candidates until obtaining its regulation and marketing approvals. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure such additional financing if at all, or at terms that are satisfactory to the Company, and that it will be sufficient to meet its needs. In the event the Company is not successful in obtaining sufficient funding, this could force the Company to delay, limit, or reduce its products’ development, clinical trials, commercialization efforts or other operations, or even close down or liquidate. g. Initial Public Offering On February 8, 2022, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it sold 3,200,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share and received net proceeds of $12.6 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.1 million, expenses of $1.8 million and $0.5 million in stock based payments to a third party. Additionally, the convertible preferred stock were converted on a 1:1 basis into 5,012,280 shares of the Company’s common stock. h. Corronavirus Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. During 2021, there was a wide distribution of several vaccinations and medicines to overcome the pandemic. The Company has shifted its operations to co-exist along with the pandemic, including encouragement of vaccinations to all of its employees worldwide. The uncertainty to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, affects management’s judgment and assumptions relating to accounting estimates in a variety of areas that depend on these estimates and assumptions. COVID-19 did not have a material influence on these estimates and judgements since the Company began operations in 2021. The Company continues to face relative uncertainty as to the remaining intensity and duration of and the nature and timeline for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic going forward and how all of that impacts the Company, including the extent to which potentially permanent changes clinical trial operations have been caused by the pandemic. The Company has taken the approach of managing the pandemic (to the extent that it continues to remain a significant factor) via strengthening its balance sheet and cash assets and avoiding debt while focusing on cost controls. |

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES : a. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), are stated in U.S. dollars and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements as certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future period. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the related 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 23, 2022. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: b. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, valuation of equity awards, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. c. Fair Value Measurement The Company follows authoritative accounting guidance, which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (at exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The money market accounts included in cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between fair value measure levels. Other financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values. d. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |

Contingencies As of March 31, 2022, and as of December 31, 2021, there are no contingent liabilities, therefore, no provision was made. |

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of Presentation | a. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), are stated in U.S. dollars and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements as certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future period. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the related 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 23, 2022. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | b. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, valuation of equity awards, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. |
Fair Value Measurement | c. Fair Value Measurement The Company follows authoritative accounting guidance, which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (at exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The money market accounts included in cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between fair value measure levels. Other financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | d. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |
