Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include financial statements for Silo Pharma, Inc and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiary with the same name as the parent entity, Silo Pharma, Inc, as of September 30, 2022 and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2022.

 

In accordance with, ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” establishes that the disposal or abandonment of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity should be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. As a result, the NFID, LLC component’s results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. Accordingly, the results of operations of this component, for all periods, are separately reported as “discontinued operations” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Liquidity

Liquidity

 

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company generated a net loss of $2,245,720 and used cash in operations of $2,611,633 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,508,297 on September 30, 2022. However, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $12,600,141.

 

The positive worthy capital serves to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the Company has sufficient cash to meet its obligations for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this filing.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 include the collectability of notes receivable, valuation of equity investments, estimates for obsolete and slow-moving inventory, estimates of the deemed dividend, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of warrants issued with debt and for services, and the fair value of shares and stock options issued for services and in settlements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 or by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates, at least annually, the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits. On September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $11,750,000, and approximately $9,100,000, respectively.

 

Notes Receivable

Notes Receivable

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on notes receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current note receivable aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets - current of $581,373 and $145,324 on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, consist primarily of costs paid for future services which will occur within a year. Prepaid expenses and other current assets – non-current of $72,285 and $26,659 on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, consist primarily of costs paid for license fees and future services which will occur after a year. Prepaid expenses may include prepayments in cash and equity instruments for consulting, business advisory, legal services, license fees, research and development fees, and insurance which are being amortized over the terms of their respective agreements.

 

Equity Investments, at Fair Value

Equity Investments, at Fair Value

 

Realized gain or loss is recognized when an investment is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s carrying value and the net proceeds received from such disposition. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is computed as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment. Net unrealized gains or losses for equity investments are recognized in operations as the difference between the carrying value at the beginning of the period and the fair value at the end of the period.

 

Equity Investments, at Cost

Equity Investments, at Cost

 

Equity investments, at cost are comprised mainly of non-marketable capital stock and stock warrants, are recorded at cost, as adjusted for other than temporary impairment write-downs and are evaluated for impairment periodically.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.

 

The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts.

 

For the license and royalty income, revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation based on the related license agreement. Payments received from the licensee that are related to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized as revenues over the term of the related license agreement (see Note 8).

 

Product sales were recognized when the NFID products were shipped to the customer and title was transferred and were recorded net of any discounts or allowances which are separately reported as “discontinued operations” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Cost of Revenues

Cost of Revenues

 

The primary components of cost of revenues on license fees included the cost of the license fees. Payments made to the licensor that are related to future periods are recorded as prepaid expense to be amortized over the term of the related license agreement (see Note 8).

The primary components of cost of revenues on NFID apparel include the cost of the product, production costs, warehouse storage costs and shipping fees which are separately reported as “discontinued operations” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company did not recognize income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, research and development costs were $375,795 and $70,514, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, research and development costs were $651,750 and $217,962, respectively.

 

Leases

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption and is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has no leases. The Company will analyze any lease to determine if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the as-if converted method. Potentially dilutive securities which included convertible preferred shares and stock options are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding if they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses.

 

The following are the potentially dilutive shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

   September 30, 
   2022   2021 
Series C convertible preferred stock

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. ASU 2020-06 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the adoption did not have material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
