−Removed: March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.
−Removed: COVID-19 has had an impact on our operations as it
−Removed: caused some unexpected delays in our clinical program activities as clinical trials were delayed.
−Removed: Management is unable to estimate the
−Removed: future financial effects, if any, to our business as a result of COVID-19 because of the high level of uncertainties and unpredictable
−Removed: outcomes of this disease.
−Removed: are continuing to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business and are taking proactive measures to protect the health and
−Removed: safety of our employees, as well as to maintain business continuity.

−Removed: Our North American employees are continuing to work
−Removed: We will continue to closely monitor and seek to comply with guidance from governmental authorities and adjust our activities

−Removed: a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member, Denmark will strengthen its own national preparedness as well as that of the NATO
−Removed: defense alliance.
−Removed: The Ukraine crisis has become a new a destabilizing factor in the Danish and global economy.
−Removed: It dampens growth and
−Removed: increases inflation at a time when inflation and capacity utilization is already high.
−Removed: While the Danish economy is generally robust and
−Removed: able to handle new challenges, and it is expected to enter a pause in growth.
−Removed: However, there are risks of a fall in activity in the Danish
−Removed: economy in general.
−Removed: To date the war has not yet had a direct impact on our results of operations, however our costs for clinical supply
−Removed: in both the United States and Europe have increase by 5% to 10% due to inflation.
−Removed: Operations Overview
−Removed: our inception in September of 2004, we have focused substantially all our resources on conducting research and development activities,
−Removed: including drug discovery and preclinical studies, establishing, and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, the manufacturing
−Removed: of clinical and research material, hiring personnel, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations.
−Removed: In recent years, we have recorded very limited revenue from collaboration activities, or any other sources.
−Removed: We have funded our operations
−Removed: to date primarily from convertible notes and the issuance and sale of our securities.
−Removed: Since our inception of our
−Removed: predecessor, Allarity Therapeutics A/S, we have incurred losses and have an accumulated deficit of $82.6 million as of December 31, 2022.
−Removed: Our net losses were $16.1 million and $26.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2022,
−Removed: our cash deposits of $2.0 million were determined to be insufficient to fund our current operating plan and planned capital expenditures
−Removed: for the next twelve months.
−Removed: Substantially all our net losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development
−Removed: programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations.
−Removed: We expect to continue to incur significant expenses
−Removed: and increasing operating losses over at least the next several years.
−Removed: We expect our expenses will increase substantially in connection
−Removed: with our ongoing activities, as we:
−Removed: drug candidates through clinical trials;
−Removed: regulatory approval of drug candidates;
−Removed: as a public company;
−Removed: our preclinical programs and clinical development efforts;
−Removed: research activities for the discovery of new drug candidates;
−Removed: supplies for our preclinical studies and clinical trials.
−Removed: of Operating Expenses
−Removed: and Development Expenses
−Removed: and development expenses include:
−Removed: incurred under agreements with third-party contract organizations, and consultants;
−Removed: related to production of drug substance, including fees paid to contract manufacturers;
−Removed: and vendor expenses related to the execution of preclinical trials;
−Removed: employee-related
−Removed: expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation.
−Removed: expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred.
−Removed: Costs for certain development activities are recognized
−Removed: based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks and estimates of services performed using information and data
−Removed: provided to us by our vendors and third-party service providers.
−Removed: Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services to be received
−Removed: in future periods for use in research and development activities are deferred and accounted for as prepaid expenses.
−Removed: The prepayments
−Removed: are then expensed as the related goods are delivered and as services are performed.
−Removed: date, most of these expenses have been incurred to advance our lead drug candidates, dovitinib, stenoparib, and IXEMPRA.
−Removed: expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research
−Removed: and development activities related to developing our drug candidates, as our drug candidates advance into later stages of development,
−Removed: and as we continue to conduct clinical trials.
−Removed: The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval
−Removed: is costly and time-consuming, and the successful development of our drug candidates is highly uncertain.
−Removed: As a result, we are unable to
−Removed: determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue
−Removed: from the commercialization and sale of any of our drug candidates.
−Removed: and Administrative Expenses
−Removed: and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and
−Removed: professional services expenses, including legal, human resources, audit, and accounting services.
−Removed: Personnel-related costs consist of
−Removed: salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation.
−Removed: Facilities costs consist of rent and maintenance of facilities.
−Removed: We expect our general
−Removed: and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to anticipated increases in headcount to advance our drug candidates
−Removed: and because of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, Nasdaq

−Removed: and Development Expenses
−Removed: currently do not track our research and development costs by product candidate.
−Removed: A breakdown by nature of type of expense for the years
−Removed: ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, is provided below.
−Removed: the year ended
−Removed: study expenses
−Removed: Manufacturing
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, versus December 31, 2021:
−Removed: decrease of $7.3 million in research and development cost was primarily due to decreases in milestone payments of $3.6 million, staffing
−Removed: costs of $1.5 million, contractor costs of $1.0 million, research study expenses of $480 thousand, other of $61 thousand, amortization
−Removed: of $43 thousand and patents of $5 thousand, offset by a $164 thousand decrease in tax credits.
−Removed: Overall, the decrease in research
−Removed: and development costs in the year ended December 31, 2022, was because during the year ended December 31, 2021, our research and development
−Removed: activity increased as activity in the clinical trials came back to a pre-pandemic level.
−Removed: Also, we incurred a 2021 milestone payment of
−Removed: $5 million due to Novartis because of the NDA filing;
−Removed: and manufacturing & supplies, and contractor costs were higher in 2021 because
−Removed: of preparation of our NDA filing for Dovitinib.
−Removed: Milestone expenses fluctuate depending upon our contracts as described in our financial
−Removed: statement notes.
−Removed: Staffing costs decreased in 2022 primarily because stock option grants and bonuses were higher in 2021.

−Removed: Food and Drug Administration regarding the Company’s
−Removed: new drug application (“NDA”) for Dovitinib, and the current depressed state of the Company’s stock price, the Company
−Removed: has performed an impairment assessment on its individual intangible assets utilizing a discounted cash flow model with a weighted average
−Removed: cost of capital (“WACC”) of 16%, and recognized an impairment charge of $14.0 million during the quarter ended March
−Removed: During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, because of continued downward pressure on the Company’s common stock, we performed
−Removed: a further impairment assessment on the Company’s individual intangible asset utilizing a discounted cash flow model with a WACC
−Removed: of 26% and recognized a further impairment charge of $3.6 million.

−Removed: Personnel-related costs consist of salaries, benefits, and
−Removed: stock-based compensation.
−Removed: Facilities costs consist of rent and maintenance of facilities.
−Removed: Legal costs incurred in connection with patents
−Removed: are accounted for as general and administrative expenses.
−Removed: We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable
−Removed: future due to anticipated increases in headcount to advance our drug candidates and because of operating as a public company, including
−Removed: expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, Nasdaq, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities
−Removed: and other administrative and professional services.
−Removed: General and administrative
−Removed: expenses decreased by $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
−Removed: The decrease was
−Removed: primarily due to decreased staffing costs of $3.8 million, listings expenses of $485 thousand, and other administrative costs of $168
−Removed: offset by increases in insurance costs of $1.5 million, financial consultants’ fees of $245 thousand, audit and legal
−Removed: fees of $224 thousand, communications expenses of $43 thousand and premises expenses of $2 thousand.
−Removed: Staffing costs decreased primarily
−Removed: because of reduced stock option costs.
−Removed: Insurance costs were higher in 2022 because we incurred a full year of directors’ and officers’
−Removed: insurance expenses versus one month in 2021.
−Removed: Listings expenses decreased in 2022 versus 2021 because our initial costs of listing on Nasdaq
−Removed: in 2021 were higher than maintenance costs in 2022.
−Removed: Income (Expenses)
−Removed: income (expense) of $16.9 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022, consisted primarily of a $17.1 million fair value adjustment
−Removed: of derivative and warrant liabilities, $1.8 million of other income received in connection with the sale of intangible IP assets, and

−Removed: on our equity investment in Lantern Pharma, Inc., a ($474) thousand change in fair value of convertible debt, a ($141) thousand loss
−Removed: on extinguishment of convertible debt, and net foreign exchange losses of ($95) thousand.
−Removed: Changes in the fair value
−Removed: of our derivative and warrant liabilities and convertible debt are measured using level 3 inputs as described in our consolidated financial
−Removed: During the years ended December
−Removed: 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $1.5 million and ($133) thousand in income tax recovery (expense) respectively.
−Removed: Capital Resources and Plan of Operations
−Removed: Since our inception through
−Removed: December 31, 2022, our operations have been financed primarily by the sale of preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, and the sale
−Removed: and issuance of our ordinary shares.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2022, we had $2.0 million in cash, and an accumulated deficit of $82.6 million.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, we received $1.0 million in proceeds from convertible debt.
−Removed: We also paid $1.5 million in cash on the
−Removed: conversion of Series A preferred shares as well as $800 thousand in penalties on the Series A preferred share liability.
−Removed: Our investing
−Removed: activities included the receipt of $809 thousand on the sale of IP and expenditures of $18 thousand on the purchase of property and equipment.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2021, we received $20.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of Series A preferred stock, $14.9 million
−Removed: in gross proceeds from the issuance of shares, and $1.1 million in proceeds from convertible debt.
−Removed: We also received and repaid a bridge
−Removed: loan of $2.9 million, and we received $1.0 million in proceeds from the sale of IP.
−Removed: primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist of research and development as well as regulatory expenses related to
−Removed: our most advanced therapeutic candidate, dovitinib, and clinical programs for stenoparib and IXEMPRA ® , and to a lesser
−Removed: extent, general and administrative expenses.
−Removed: Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses,
−Removed: as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.
−Removed: of December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash deposits of $2.0 million were determined to be insufficient to fund its current operating
−Removed: plan and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
−Removed: We estimate that as of the date of this filing, our cash reserves
−Removed: are sufficient for approximately 3 months.
−Removed: These conditions give rise to substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue
−Removed: as a going concern.
−Removed: plans to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt include additional funding through public equity, private equity,
−Removed: debt financing, collaboration partnerships, or other sources.
−Removed: There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in
−Removed: raising additional working capital, or if it is able to raise additional working capital, it may be unable to do so on commercially favorable
−Removed: The Company’s failure to raise capital or enter other such arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on its
−Removed: business, results of operations and financial condition and its ability to develop its product candidates.
−Removed: following table summarizes our cash flows for the years indicated:
−Removed: Net Cash used in operating activities
−Removed: Net Cash provided by investing activities
−Removed: Net Cash (used in) provided by financing activities
−Removed: Net (decrease) increase in cash
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities of $16.8 million was attributable to a net loss of $16.1 million,
−Removed: $400 thousand in net non-cash charges, and a $300 thousand change in net operating assets and liabilities.
−Removed: non-cash charges consisted of intangible asset impairment of $17.6 million, stock-based compensation of $1.7 million, non-cash interest
−Removed: of $138 thousand, loss on investment of $115 thousand, depreciation and amortization of $60 thousand, and unrealized loss on foreign
−Removed: currency of $450 thousand, offset by a $17.1 million fair value adjustment to derivative liabilities, a $1.8 million gain from the sale
−Removed: of IP and deferred tax benefit of $1.6 million.
−Removed: The change in operating assets and liabilities of $300 thousand was primarily due to
−Removed: a $4.7 million decrease in accrued liabilities, an increase in prepaid expenses of $618 thousand, a decrease in income taxes payable
−Removed: of $19 thousand, a $1.1 million increase in other current assets, and a decrease in operating lease liability of $99 thousand, offset
−Removed: by a $6.2 million increase in accounts payable.
−Removed: During the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities of $14.9 million was attributable to a net loss of $26.6 million, offset by $6.9 million

−Removed: from the sale of IP.
−Removed: The change in operating assets and liabilities of $5.6 million was primarily due to a $7.2 million increase in accrued
−Removed: liabilities, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $130 thousand, and a decrease in income taxes receivable of $8 thousand, offset by a $1.3
−Removed: million decrease in accounts payable, a $330 thousand increase in other current assets, and a decrease in operating lease liability of
−Removed: $124 thousand.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received $809 thousand in proceeds from the sale of IP and invested $18 thousand in property
−Removed: and equipment.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received $1.0 million in proceeds from the sale of IP.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used by financing activities of $1.3 million consisted of $1.0 million in proceeds from the issuance
−Removed: of convertible debt offset by $1.5 million in cash paid on the conversion of Series A preferred shares and $800 thousand in penalties
−Removed: on the Series A preferred share liability.

−Removed: the sale of Series A preferred stock, $14.9 million from common stock issuance, and convertible loan proceeds of $1.1 million, offset
−Removed: by $1.6 million in Series A preferred stock issuance costs, $484 thousand in share issuance costs, and $84 thousand repayment of our
−Removed: line of credit.
−Removed: We also received and repaid $2.9 million in loan funding during the year ended December 31, 2021.
−Removed: Obligations and Commitments
−Removed: following table summarizes our commitments and contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022:
−Removed: Payments Due By Period
−Removed: Less than 1 Year
−Removed: More than 5 Years
−Removed: (In thousands)
−Removed: Milestone payments
−Removed: enter into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors for preclinical studies, clinical trials and other service providers
−Removed: for operating purposes.
−Removed: We have not included these payments in the table of contractual obligations above since these contracts are generally
−Removed: cancellable at any time by us following a certain period after notice and therefore, we believe that our non-cancellable obligations
−Removed: under these agreements are not material.
−Removed: Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
−Removed: believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this report, based on our anticipated expenditures and commitments
−Removed: for the next twelve months including contractual obligations for milestone payments, will not enable us to fund our operating expenses
−Removed: and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve (12) months from the date of this report.
−Removed: Our estimate as to how long we expect
−Removed: our cash to be able to continue to fund our operations is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available
−Removed: capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
−Removed: Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause
−Removed: us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned.
−Removed: In November 2022, we entered
−Removed: into a Secured Note Purchase Agreement with 3i, LP for a bridge loan to extend our cash runaway beyond December 31, 2022, in order to
−Removed: provide us with more time to complete the process of amending its Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized share capital
−Removed: and proposed reverse stock split to facilitate additional capital investments (the “Bridge Loan”).
−Removed: Under the Secured Note
−Removed: Purchase Agreement, we authorized the sale and issuance of three promissory notes, with the first note in an aggregate principal amount
−Removed: of $350,000 to be issued at closing, which was received in November 2022;
−Removed: the second note in the principal amount of $1,666,640 to be
−Removed: issued at closing and which represents the payment of $1,666,640 due to 3i, LP in Alternative Conversion Floor Amounts, as defined in
−Removed: the Series A Certificate of Designations, that began to accrue on July 14, 2022;
−Removed: and the third note in an aggregate principal amount of
−Removed: $650,000 with respect to a new loan to be funded upon our filing of a registration statement with SEC in connection with a registered
−Removed: As of January 28, 2023, all of the notes have been issued and are outstanding.
−Removed: On February 3, 2023, we held
−Removed: our previously adjourned annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).
−Removed: Nine proposals were submitted to our stockholders
−Removed: for a vote at the Annual Meeting including a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares and a proposal to effect a reverse stock
−Removed: Such proposals did not pass by the requisite stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting.
−Removed: In light of our financing needs and our obligations
−Removed: as holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and PIPE Warrant, we conducted the a private placement offering for the purchase
−Removed: and sale of 50,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share at a purchase price of $24.00 per share, for a subscription
−Removed: receivable in the aggregate amount equal to the total purchase price of $1.2 million.
−Removed: The proceeds were used to fund operating expenses.
−Removed: discussed before, we do not have sufficient cash to support our anticipated expenditures and commitments and the Company is seeking capital
−Removed: to support its current and planned operations.
−Removed: No assurances can be given
−Removed: that any ongoing discussions will be successful or that we will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms, or at all.
−Removed: failure to raise capital or enter into other such arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations
−Removed: and financial condition and our ability to maintain current operations and develop our product candidates which in turn may force us to
−Removed: seek protection under the U.S.
−Removed: bankruptcy laws.
−Removed: We are actively exploring raising capital through equity and debt financing which may
−Removed: require collateralizing debt financing with our assets.
−Removed: However, if the share increase and/or reverse stock split proposals are not approved
−Removed: by the required stockholder vote, we will be limited in the ways we can raise additional capital.
−Removed: expect to incur substantial expenses in the foreseeable future for the development and potential commercialization of our drug candidates
−Removed: and ongoing internal research and development programs.
−Removed: At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing, or aggregate
−Removed: amount of costs for our development, potential commercialization, and internal research and development programs.
−Removed: However, to complete
−Removed: our current and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, and to complete the process of obtaining regulatory approval for our
−Removed: drug candidates, as well as to build the sales, marketing, and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize
−Removed: our drug candidates, if approved, we may require substantial additional funding in the future.
−Removed: Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
−Removed: Our management’s discussion
−Removed: and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited condensed consolidated financial statements for
−Removed: the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements
−Removed: in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
−Removed: the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
−Removed: and expenses during the reporting years.
−Removed: Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include,
−Removed: but are not limited to, the fair value of the Series A preferred shares, warrants, convertible debt and the accrual for research and development
−Removed: expenses, fair values of acquired intangible assets and impairment review of those assets, share based compensation expense, and income
−Removed: tax uncertainties and valuation allowances.
−Removed: The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific
−Removed: or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
−Removed: Estimates are periodically reviewed considering reasonable
−Removed: changes in circumstances, facts, and experience.
−Removed: Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known and if material,
−Removed: their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates or
−Removed: While our significant accounting
−Removed: policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, we believe
−Removed: that the following critical accounting policies are most important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
−Removed: preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
−Removed: amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
−Removed: and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years.
−Removed: Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these
−Removed: consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the Series A preferred shares, warrants, convertible
−Removed: debt, and the accrual for research and development expenses, fair values of acquired intangible assets and impairment review of those
−Removed: assets, share based compensation expense, and income tax uncertainties and valuation allowances.
−Removed: The Company bases its estimates on historical
−Removed: experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
−Removed: Estimates are periodically reviewed considering reasonable changes in circumstances, facts, and experience.
−Removed: Changes in estimates are
−Removed: recorded in the period in which they become known and if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.
−Removed: Acquired in-process research and development
−Removed: Acquired IPR&D represents
−Removed: the fair value assigned to research and development assets that the Company acquired as part of a business combination and have not been
−Removed: completed at the acquisition date.
−Removed: The fair value of IPR&D acquired in a business combination is recorded on the consolidated balance
−Removed: sheets at the acquisition-date fair value and is determined by estimating the costs to develop the technology into commercially viable
−Removed: products, estimating the resulting revenue from the projects, and discounting the projected net cash flows to present value.
−Removed: is not amortized, but rather is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present,
−Removed: until the project is completed, abandoned, or transferred to a third-party.
−Removed: Management assesses its acquired IPR&D for impairment
−Removed: at year end as well as when events and circumstances indicate there is a potential impairment.
−Removed: Significant quantitative indicators considered
−Removed: are the Company’s market capitalization, market share, length of remaining clinical trials, and projected revenue per treatment.
−Removed: The projected discounted cash flow models used to estimate the fair value of partnered assets and cost approach model used to estimate
−Removed: proprietary assets as part of the Company’s IPR&D reflect significant assumptions regarding the estimates a market participant
−Removed: would make to evaluate a drug development asset, including the following:
−Removed: Estimates of obsolescence of development expenditure;
−Removed: Probability of successfully completing clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approval;
−Removed: Estimates of future cash flows from potential milestone payments and royalties related to out-licensed product sales;
−Removed: A discount rate reflecting the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and specific risk inherent in the underlying assets.
−Removed: Once brought into use, intangible
−Removed: assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives using the economic consumption method if anticipated future revenues can
−Removed: be reasonably estimated.
−Removed: The straight-line method is used when revenues cannot be reasonably estimated.
−Removed: The Company has recorded impairment
−Removed: losses of $17,571 on its intangible assets in the year ended December 31, 2022.
−Removed: contract costs and accruals
−Removed: Company has entered into various research and development contracts with companies both inside and outside of the United States.
−Removed: These agreements are generally cancellable, and related payments are recorded as research and development expenses as incurred.
−Removed: records accruals for estimated ongoing research costs.
−Removed: When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued liabilities, the Company analyzes
−Removed: progress of the studies or trials, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs.
−Removed: Significant judgments
−Removed: and estimates are made in determining the accrued balances at the end of any reporting period.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from the Company’s
−Removed: The Company’s historical accrual estimates have not been materially different from the actual costs.
−Removed: debt instruments
−Removed: Company follows ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity in its evaluation of the accounting for a hybrid
−Removed: A financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share
−Removed: that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares shall be
−Removed: classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely
−Removed: or predominantly on any one of the following:
−Removed: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception;
−Removed: (b) variations in something other than
−Removed: the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares;
−Removed: or (c) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s
−Removed: equity shares.
−Removed: Hybrid instruments meeting these criteria are not further evaluated for any embedded derivatives and are carried as a
−Removed: liability at fair value at each balance sheet date with remeasurements reported in change on fair value expense in the accompanying Statements
−Removed: of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: the Company accounts for certain convertible debt (“Convertible Notes”) issued under the fair value option election of ASC
−Removed: 825, Financial Instruments wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and
−Removed: then subsequently re-measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date.
−Removed: The estimated fair value adjustment
−Removed: is recognized as other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and the portion of the fair value adjustment
−Removed: attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk is recognized as a component of other comprehensive loss.
−Removed: Convertible Notes
−Removed: are settled with shares at fair value of the stock issued with any differences recorded to other income (expense), as a gain or (loss)
−Removed: on extinguishment.
−Removed: When the Company issues warrants
−Removed: it evaluates the proper balance sheet classification to determine classification as either equity or as a derivative liability on the
−Removed: consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in the Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC
−Removed: 815-40”), the Company classifies a warrant as equity so long as it is “indexed to the Company’s equity” and several
−Removed: specific conditions for equity classification are met.
−Removed: A warrant is not considered indexed to the Company’s equity, in general,
−Removed: when it contains certain types of exercise contingencies or adjustments to exercise price.
−Removed: If a warrant is not indexed to the Company’s
−Removed: equity or it has net cash settlement that results in the warrants to be accounted for under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,
−Removed: or ASC 815-40, it is classified as a derivative liability, which is carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value with any changes
−Removed: in its fair value recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2022 and
−Removed: 2021, the Company had warrants outstanding for share-based compensation that were classified as equity, and outstanding investor warrants
−Removed: that were classified as derivative liabilities and classified as “Warrant liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
−Removed: Derivative financial instruments
−Removed: Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to interest rate, market, or foreign currency risks.
−Removed: The Company evaluates
−Removed: all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
−Removed: Embedded derivatives
−Removed: must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met.
−Removed: The assessment of the conditions
−Removed: surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract.
−Removed: Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized
−Removed: at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss each reporting
−Removed: Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified as “Derivative liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
−Removed: Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).
−Removed: ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant.
−Removed: The value of the portion of
−Removed: the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated
−Removed: statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
−Removed: Company records the expense for option awards using either a graded or straight-line vesting method.
−Removed: The Company accounts for forfeitures
−Removed: as they occur.
−Removed: For share-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employee consultants, the measurement date is the date
−Removed: The compensation expense is then recognized over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period of the respective
−Removed: Company reviews stock award modifications when there is an exchange of original award for a new award.
−Removed: The Company calculates the incremental
−Removed: fair value based on the difference between the fair value of the modified award and the fair value of the original award immediately
−Removed: before it was modified.
−Removed: The Company immediately recognizes the incremental value as compensation cost for vested awards and recognizes,
−Removed: on a prospective basis over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and any remaining unrecognized
−Removed: compensation cost for the original award on the modification date.
−Removed: fair value of stock options (“options”) on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using
−Removed: the single-option approach.
−Removed: The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including
−Removed: the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, to determine the fair value of the award.
−Removed: applies the Black-Scholes model as it believes it is the most appropriate fair value method for all equity awards.
−Removed: Issued Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: the sections titled “ Recently adopted accounting pronouncements” in Note 2 (cc) and “Recently issued
−Removed: accounting pronouncements ” in Note 2 (dd) to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2022, appearing elsewhere herein.
−Removed: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
−Removed: Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required
