Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Liquidity and Financial Condition
 
The Company incurred net losses of $1,715,000 and $477,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s working capital and accumulated deficit were $14,094,000 and $5,384,000, respectively. The Company has not yet achieved profitability and it is expected that its research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, the Company will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability.
 
The Company believes that its existing cash, which includes the proceeds from its initial public offering (“IPO”), will be sufficient to fund its operations into the quarter ending December 31, 2015. However, in order for the Company to execute its research and development strategy and to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to commercialize RUT58-60 as a drug in the United States, the Company will need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means. The Company has not secured any commitment for new financing at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash.
 
Use of Estimates
 
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 and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets and the expense allocations relating to the Company’s operations prior to its deconsolidation from Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (“Oculus” or “Former Parent”) on March 26, 2014.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee and director services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is granted. The Company amortizes the fair value of employee awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Stock-based compensation expense includes the impact of an estimate for forfeitures for all stock awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards with performance conditions if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period for awards with performance conditions and adjusts stock-based compensation expense based on its probability assessment.
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the requisite service period.
 
Net Loss Per Share
 
The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.
 
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation." This ASU removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt this ASU effective with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on June 30, 2014 and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures.
 
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.
