| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
| Basis of Presentation |
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S.GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring, and other adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods. |
| Reverse Stock Split |
Reverse Stock Split On August 15, 2019, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of its common stock by a ratio of one-for-ten, and its common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis on August 20, 2019. The par value of the Company’s common stock remained unchanged at $0.001 per share after the reverse stock split. All share amounts, per share data, share prices, exercise prices and conversion rates set forth in these notes and the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have, where applicable, been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split. See Note 7. |
| Liquidity and Going Concern |
Liquidity and Going Concern The Company had a net loss of $3.1 million and used $2.4 million of cash in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the Company had net working capital of $0.4 million and the Company’s principal source of liquidity consisted of $0.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balance at September 30, 2019 relative to its estimate of future operating cash requirements led to substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2018 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. On November 13, 2019, the Company completed a private placement of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.5 million and estimated net proceeds of $3.1 million, thereby alleviating the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. See Note 11. The accompanying condensed financial statements 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. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and to develop profitable operations through implementation of its current business initiatives, however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, or develop profitable operations. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |
| Recently Adopted Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Recently Adopted Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the amendments is the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company recognized its lease commitment as a lease liability and right-of-use asset. For more details regarding the lease commitment, see Note 5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard, if adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
