SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. 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 confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Significant estimates during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 include the valuation of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances, and the valuation of stock-based compensation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

 

The Company maintains its cash on deposits with bank and financial institution within the United States that at times may exceed federally-insured limits of $250,000. The Company manages this credit risk by concentrating its cash balances in high quality financial institutions and by periodically evaluating the credit quality of the primary financial institutions holding such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balances were not in excess of the federally-insured limits.

 

Research and Development

 

Expenditures for research and product development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expense of $63,424 and $27,031 in the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

All costs related to advertising and marketing are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, advertising and marketing costs amounted to $3,758 and $17,682, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  • Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

  • Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

  • Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing compensation expense for all share-based awards, including stock warrants and stock grants, based on estimated grant-date fair values. The Company measures employee and nonemployee awards at the date of grant, which generally is the date at which the Company and the nonemployee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.

 

The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to allocate compensation cost to reporting periods over the requisite service period during which the employee or nonemployee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur, with previously recognized compensation reversed in the period that the awards are forfeited.

 

Per Share Data

 

ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes (using the if-converted method) and exercise of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

 

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive:

 

          
   Three Months Ended December 31,
   2024  2023
Warrants to purchase common stock   3,650,000    3,570,000 
Series A convertible preferred stock   6    6 
Series B convertible preferred stock   15,580,223    15,580,223 
Convertible notes (*)   20,000    134,000 
Potentially dilutive securities   19,250,229    19,284,229 

 

(*) Assumed the convertible notes were converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.00 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Assumed the convertible notes were converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.49 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for such contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The segment reporting structure uses the Company’s management reporting structure as its foundation to reflect how the Company manages the businesses internally and is mainly organized by products. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company is organized into one strategic business unit. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to make operating decisions, allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is its CODM.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including breakouts within operating expenses. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances reportable segment disclosure requirements, including significant segment expenses and interim disclosures (“Topic 280”). The guidance allows for disclosure of multiple measures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss, and it requires that public entities with a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by the ASU and all existing disclosures in Topic 280. ASC 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim reporting periods starting after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standard effective June 30, 2024 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU affects only the Company’s disclosures, with no impacts to its financial condition or results of operations.

 

In December 2023, the FASB ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects that the adoption will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
