| NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
| Nature of Operations | Nature of Operations Rezolute, Inc. (the “Company”) is a late-stage rare disease company focused on developing therapies that treat refractory and debilitating hypoglycemia associated with various forms of hyperinsulinism (“HI”). The Company believes that its primary clinical asset, ersodetug, is a potential treatment for refractory hypoglycemia caused by multiple forms of hyperinsulinism, including congenital HI and tumor HI. The Company is currently enrolling in a Phase 3 clinical trial for a tumor HI indication (“upLIFT”). In December 2025, the Company reported that its Phase 3 clinical trial in congenital HI (“sunRIZE”) did not meet its primary endpoint or key secondary endpoint. The Company met with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA” or the “Agency”) in March 2026 to discuss the summary results from sunRIZE. As a next step for the program, FDA encouraged the Company to submit comprehensive analysis datasets and summary outcomes for the Agency’s independent evaluation. Following that review, the Company believes that a determination may be made whether there is sufficient evidence to support the submission of a marketing application for sunRIZE or if additional information and/or clinical studies are required, which could have an impact on the Company’s operating plans and cash resources. In September 2026, the FDA informed the Company that it is still reviewing the submission for purposes of evaluating a potential regulatory path forward for ersodetug in congenital HI. The Company expects to provide an update on the program in the second half of calendar year 2026. |
| Consolidation | Consolidation The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries consisting of Rezolute (Bio) Ireland Limited, and Rezolute Bio UK, Ltd. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are reported as separate components of shareholders’ equity instead of net income (loss). For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the components of comprehensive loss consisted of the Company’s net loss and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in marketable debt securities. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer also serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance based on financial information of the Company. Since its inception, the Company has determined that its activities as a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company are classified as a single reportable operating segment. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, fair value of share-based compensation, management’s assessment of going concern, and estimates related to clinical trial accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Company's operations may be subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated with a clinical stage company, including the potential risk of business failure discussed in Note 2. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less that are freely available for the Company’s immediate and general business use are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of demand deposits with financial institutions, money market funds, U.S. treasuries and corporate commercial paper purchased with a maturity of three months or less. |
| Investments in Marketable Debt Securities | Investments in Marketable Debt Securities Under the investment policy approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, eligible investments in fixed income debt securities must be denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, including eligible corporate bonds, corporate commercial paper, U.S. government obligations, and money market funds. This investment policy only permits investments in the debt securities of issuers that meet stringent credit quality ratings on the date of the investment. The investment policy also places restrictions on the length of maturities and concentrations by type and issuer. The Company only invests in issuers that management believes are of high credit quality. However, all issuers are exposed to credit risk that could ultimately result in a default. The Company classifies investments in marketable debt securities that mature in less than one year as short-term assets. For investments that mature in more than one year, the investments are classified as long-term assets unless management intends to liquidate the investments to fund current operations before the scheduled maturity dates. The Company accounts for all of its investments in marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities whereby they are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Interest income is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations, consisting of accrued interest earned based on the coupon rate of the security, plus the impact of accreting discounts and amortizing premiums to maturity using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. Unrealized gains and losses due to subsequent changes in fair value of the investments are reported in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reviews the components of its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if declines in fair value below amortized cost have resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors. If declines in fair value below amortized costs are due to the deterioration of an issuer’s credit quality, the Company is required to record an allowance for credit losses related to such investments with a corresponding loss recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Allowances for credit losses may be reversed in subsequent periods if conditions improve and credit-related losses are no longer expected. For declines in fair value that are solely due to changes in interest rates, impairment is not recognized if the Company has the ability and intent to hold the investment until maturity. |
| Prepaid Expenses and Other | Prepaid Expenses and Other Prepaid expenses and other includes nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used or rendered in future research and development activities. These advance payments are deferred and recognized as expenses in the period that the related goods are delivered, or services are performed. |
| Leases | Leases The Company determines if an arrangement includes a lease as of the date an agreement is entered into. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the commencement date of the lease. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the discount rate used to compute the present value of future payments. The Company's leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease; these options are included in the calculation of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements for short-term leases. For lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, the Company generally accounts for them separately. |
| Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment consist solely of office furniture and equipment that is recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. |
| Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets for in-licensing costs incurred under license agreements with third parties are charged to expense, unless the licensing rights have separate economic value in alternative future research and development projects or otherwise. |
| Clinical Trial Accruals | Clinical Trial Accruals Clinical trial costs are a component of research and development expenses. The Company accrues and expenses clinical trial activities performed by third parties based upon estimates of the percentage of work completed over the life of the individual study in accordance with agreements established with clinical research organizations and clinical trial sites. The Company determines the estimates through discussions with internal clinical personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of trials or services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services. |
| Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company measures the fair value of employee and director services received in exchange for grants of stock options and other equity awards, based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. The Company computes the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model and recognizes the value of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award, usually the vesting period. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. Fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is based on the closing market price on the date of grant whereby compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the RSUs. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for share-based compensation. |
| Embedded Derivatives | Embedded Derivatives When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “Host Contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features would meet the definition of a derivative instrument, and whether such features are considered clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the Host Contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the Host Contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument and cannot be classified in shareholders’ equity, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the Host Contract and accounted for as a derivative liability. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded separately from the carrying value of the Host Contract, with subsequent changes in the estimated fair value recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities that are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred income tax asset will not be realized based on the weight of available evidence, including expected future earnings. The Company recognizes uncertain tax position in its financial statements when it concludes that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based solely on its technical merits. Only after a tax position passes the first step of recognition will measurement be required. Under the measurement step, the tax benefit is computed as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon effective settlement. This calculation is determined on a cumulative probability basis. The full impact of any change in recognition or measurement is reflected in the period in which such change occurs. Interest and penalties related to income taxes will be recognized as a component of income tax expense. |
| Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants that are accounted for as equity instruments. Common shares associated with pre-funded warrants are included in the computation of both basic and diluted net loss per share since the exercise price is negligible and all of the pre-funded warrants are fully vested and exercisable. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the treasury stock method by further giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options, unvested RSUs, and Legacy Warrants (defined in Note 8), to the extent dilutive. For participating warrants that are entitled to participate in dividends declared to holders of shares of common stock, the Company applies the two-class method of allocating earnings if the impact of including the participating warrants is dilutive for the calculation of both basic and diluted net loss per share. |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standard. The following accounting standard was adopted for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The implementation of this standard establishes a requirement to disclose differences between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate by jurisdiction and disaggregated information about income taxes paid, income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The Company implemented the guidance in ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and retrospectively for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (see Note 9). The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have any material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Standard Required to be Adopted in Future Periods. The following accounting standard has not yet been adopted by the Company: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 is intended to enhance disclosures by requiring public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2024-03 in its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028, and for interim periods thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 and other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not currently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |
