Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Leases | Leases At lease commencement, the Company records a lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company calculates the present value of lease payments using the discount rate implicit in the lease, unless that rate cannot be readily determined. In that case, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company records a corresponding right-of-use lease asset based on the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs paid to the lessor prior to the lease commencement date. After lease commencement, the Company measures its leases as follows: (i) the lease liability based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement; and (ii) the right-of-use lease asset based on the remeasured lease liability, adjusted for any unamortized lease incentives received, any unamortized initial direct costs and the cumulative difference between rent expense and amounts paid under the lease agreement. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term (See Note 4).
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates | Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aethlon Medical, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2019. Estimates were made relating to useful lives of fixed assets, impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense and accruals for clinical trial and research and development expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019, contained in the above referenced 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior year balances within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN | LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have incurred continuing losses from operations and at September 30, 2019 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $109,424,000. These factors, among other matters, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. A significant amount of additional capital will be necessary to advance the development of our products to the point at which they may become commercially viable. We intend to fund operations, working capital and other cash requirements through at least twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements through equity and/or debt financing arrangements as well as through revenues and related cash receipts under our government contracts (see Note 11). Significant additional financing must be obtained in order to provide a sufficient source of operating capital and to allow us to continue to operate as a going concern and to meet our liquidity needs for a twelve month period from the date of this filing. In addition, we will need to raise capital to complete anticipated future human clinical trials in the U.S. We anticipate the primary sources of this additional financing will be from proceeds of our at-the-market offering program, pursuant to our Form S-3 Registration Statement, debt financing and other forms of equity placements. However, no assurance can be given that we will receive any funds in addition to the funds we have received to date. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty and as to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
