Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and wholly owned and majority owned subsidiary. The accompanying condensed unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and related notes were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future period. The unaudited consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Form S-1 Registration Statement, Number 333-276987, declared effective November 8, 2024. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassification Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s current year presentation. We have reclassified certain prior period income amounts from R&D expenses and a total of $ 19,186 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in the calculation of right-of-use asset and lease liabilities, accruals for potential liabilities, SAFE liability, and the realization of any deferred tax assets. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” or “EGC” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such choice to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to opt out of the extended transition periods. Concentration of Risk Financial instruments which are potentially subject to the Company’s concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and grants receivable. The Company may periodically have cash balances in financial institutions more than the FDIC insurance limits of $ 250,000 64 36 Revenue Recognition The Company primarily generated revenues from its strategic alliances. The strategic alliances with strategic collaborators typically contain multiple elements, including research and other licenses, research and development services, obligations to develop and manufacture pre-commercial and commercial material, and options to obtain additional research and development services. Such arrangements provide for various types of payments to us, including upfront fees, and funding of research and development services. Such payments are often not commensurate with the timing of revenue recognition and therefore result in deferral of revenue recognition. The Company analyzes the collaboration arrangements to assess whether they are within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808) to determine whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the commercial success of such activities. To the extent the arrangement is within the scope of ASC 808, the Company assesses whether aspects of the arrangement between the Company and the collaboration partner are within the scope of other accounting literature. If the Company concludes that some or all aspects of the arrangement represent a transaction with a customer, the Company accounts for those aspects of the arrangement within the scope of ASC 606. If the Company concludes that some or all aspects of the arrangement are within the scope of ASC 808 and do not represent a transaction with a customer, the Company recognizes its allocation of the shared costs incurred with respect to the jointly conducted activities as a component of the related expense in the period incurred. Pursuant to ASC 606, a customer is a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. ASC 606 requires significant judgment and estimates and results in changes to, but not limited to: (i) the determination of the transaction price, including estimates of variable consideration, (ii) the allocation of the transaction price, including the determination of estimated selling price, and (iii) the pattern of recognition, including the application of proportional performance as a measure of progress on service-related promises and application of point-in-time recognition for supply-related promises. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities or remaining maturities upon purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents held by the Company as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash balances with financial institutions with high credit ratings and in accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Company periodically reviews the financial condition of the financial institutions and assesses the credit risk of such investments. The Company had no uninsured cash balances as of September 30, 2024. The Company did not experience any credit risk losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s consolidated financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Schedule of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on Recurring Basis Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total September 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total SAFE Note $ - $ - $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Total fair value $ - $ - $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total SAFE Note $ - $ - $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Total fair value $ - $ - $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to related party are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in the statement of operations when realized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Schedule of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives Laboratory equipment 5 Furniture and fixtures 7 Leasehold improvements Lesser of the lease duration or the life of the improvements Property and equipment consist of the following as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively: Schedule of Property and Equipment September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Laboratory equipment $ 1,067,241 $ 885,696 Furniture and fixtures 54,338 49,838 Leasehold improvements 279,161 279,161 Total property and equipment 1,400,740 1,214,695 Less: Accumulated depreciation (661,134 ) (461,319 ) Property and equipment, net $ 739,606 $ 753,376 Depreciation expenses were $ 199,815 137,971 68,878 49,722 Research Grants Invizyne receives grant reimbursements, which are offset against research and development expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition to actual reimbursements, Invizyne also receives indirect expense grants (which are not reimbursement-based) and fees (typically of minor significance). It is important to note that there may be instances where the grants received for indirect costs exceed the actual costs, resulting in a negative impact. For capitalized assets, grant reimbursements are recognized over the useful life of the assets. Any portion of the grant not yet recognized is recorded as deferred grant reimbursements and included as a liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Grants that operate on a reimbursement basis are recognized on the accrual basis and are offsets to expenses to the extent of disbursements and commitments that are reimbursable for allowable expenses incurred as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and respectively, expected to be received from funding sources in the subsequent year. Management considers such receivables on September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to be fully collectable due to the historical experience with the Federal Government of the United States of America. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses on the grants receivable was recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Summary of grants receivable activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, is presented below: Schedule of Grants Receivable Activity 2024 2023 Balance at beginning of period $ 882,319 $ 809,532 Grant costs expensed 1,756,852 2,180,581 Grants for equipment purchased 6,379 - Grant fees 50,854 84,827 Grant funds received (2,142,441 ) (2,398,488 ) Balance at end of period $ 553,963 $ 676,452 Invizyne has received three grants provided by the National Institute of Health, the Department of Energy and Department of Defense through September 30, 2024. The first grant was awarded on October 1, 2023 and the latest of these grants was set to expire on May 14, 2026, however grants can be extended, or new phases can be granted, extending the expiration of the grant. None of the grants has commitments made by the parties, provisions for recapture, or any other contingencies, beyond complying with the terms of each research and development grant. Research grants received from organizations are subject to the contract agreement as to how Invizyne conducts its research activities, and Invizyne is required to comply with the agreement terms relating to those grants. Amounts received under research grants are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the underlying research project, to the extent that such amounts are expended in accordance with the approved grant project. Invizyne is permitted to draw down the research grants after incurring the related expenses. Amounts received under research grants are offset against the related research and development costs in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, grants amounting to $ 1,756,852 2,180,581 1,814,085 2,265,408 Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of compensation costs, fees paid to consultants, and other expenses relating to the development of Invizyne’s technology. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development costs prior to offset of the grants amounted to $ 3,046,169 2,332,503 Patent and Licensing Legal and Filing Fees and Costs Due to the significant uncertainty associated with the successful development of one or more commercially viable products based on the research efforts and related patent applications, all patent and licensing legal and filing fees and costs related to the development and protection of its intellectual property are charged to operations as incurred. Patent and licensing legal and filing fees and costs were $ 165,872 98,794 Related Party and Due to Affiliates Expenses As of September 30, 2024, MDB Capital Holdings, LLC has advanced $ 3,669,933 The payable balance includes $ 247,889 3,422,066 3,345,000 as of September 30, 2024, and bears interest at a rate of 5 %, compounding annually.
