Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Inovio have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other period. These financial statements, and notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 18, 2013. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2013 through the date it filed these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with the SEC. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company incurred a net loss of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company had working capital of $14.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $238.6 million as of March 31, 2013. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital in the future and achieve profitable operations. The Company expects to continue to rely on outside sources of financing to meet its capital needs and the Company may never achieve positive cash flow. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. The Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
