Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts and disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s financial presentation.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The unaudited interim condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information, within the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and of the financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the interim unaudited condensed financial statements related to the three months and nine months ended are unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company capitalized deferred offering costs, which primarily consisted of direct, incremental legal, professional, accounting, and other third-party fees relating to the Company’s initial public offering and follow-on offerings. In June 2023 the Company consummated its IPO. In February and July 2024, the Company consummated its follow-on offerings. The Company recorded these amounts against the gross proceeds of these offerings within the statements of stockholders’ equity during the periods ended September 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
In July 2024, the Company also filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement and recorded deferred issuance costs as a long-term asset and will reclass a portion of these costs against gross proceeds upon such time the proceeds are raised.
Deferred Patent Costs
Deferred Patent Costs
Deferred patent costs represent legal and filing expenses incurred related to the submission of patent applications for patents pending approval. These deferred costs will be reclassed to intangible assets and begin to be amortized over their estimated useful lives upon the formal approval of the patent. If the patent is not issued, the costs associated with the patent will be expensed in the year the patent was rejected. Deferred patent costs are reviewed for impairment at each reporting period. The costs associated with any impairment are expensed in the period the deferred patent costs are determined to be impaired.
Leases
Leases
The Company elected to account for non-lease components as part of the lease component to which they relate. Lease accounting involves significant judgments, including making estimates related to the lease term, lease payments, and discount rate. In accordance with the guidance, the Company recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Leases are classified as either operating or financing leases based on the economic substance of the agreement.
The Company has operating leases for buildings. The Company has 3 operating leases with a ROU asset and lease liability totaling $1,418,502 as of January 1, 2022. The basis, terms and conditions of the leases are determined by the individual agreements. The Company’s option to extend certain leases ranges from 36 – 52 months. All options to extend have been included in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The leases do not contain residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants that could incur additional financial obligations to the Company. There are no subleases, sale-leaseback, or related party transactions.
At September 30, 2024, the Company had operating right-of-use assets with a net value of $606,033 and current and long-term operating lease liabilities of $276,839 and $336,556, respectively.
