Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of Provectus, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned subsidiary, VisiRose (see Note 12). The interests of non-controlling shareholders in VisiRose are presented as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments 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. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, accrued liabilities, and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

 

Cash Concentrations

Cash Concentrations

 

Cash is maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000, although the Company seeks to minimize this through treasury management. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances although no assurance can be provided that it will not experience any losses in the future. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $0 and $1,291, respectively.

 

Convertible Instruments

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815: Derivatives and Hedging. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record qualifying embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income, or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Embedded conversion options classified as derivative liabilities, and any related equity classified freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Segment

Segment

 

The Company has one operating and reporting segment (namely, clinical stage biotechnology), for the development of immunotherapy medicines. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s chief executive officer, utilizes the Company’s financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing financial performance, as well as for making strategic operations decisions and managing the organization. The CODM is not regularly provided with disaggregated expense information, other than the expense information included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

 

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

A portion of the prior period stock-based compensation expense, which was previously reported in general and administrative expenses, has been reclassified to research and development expense in order to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversions and Other Options. ASU 2024-04 is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2026. The adoption of ASU 2024-04 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
