Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are consistent with those discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On November 2, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-15 (the “2023 Reverse Stock Split”). Shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options and other equity instruments convertible into common stock were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities.

 

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the 2023 Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock instead receive a proportional cash payment.

 

All of the Company’s historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options and warrants exercisable for common stock in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the 2023 Reverse Stock Split.

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Motus Ltd., an Israel corporation, which has operations in Tirat Carmel, Israel, and Motus Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has operations in the U.S. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period, including any potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, unvested restricted stock, warrants, and other convertible instruments unless the result of inclusion would be antidilutive. The dilutive effect of restricted stock units subject to vesting and other share-based payment awards is calculated using the “treasury stock method,” which assumes that the “proceeds” from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted calculation for the entire period being presented. The Company’s net loss is net loss attributable to common shareholders for all periods presented. The Company would use the two-class method to compute net income per common share, as it issued securities, other than common stock, that contractually entitle the holders to participate in dividends and earnings. No such adjustment to earnings is made during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the participating securities have no obligation to fund losses. The two-class method presentation will only be required if and when the Company reports net income.

 

Given the nominal exercise price of the Company’s issuance of Pre-Funded Warrants, such Pre-Funded Warrants are included in in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price per warrant is deemed nonsubstantive when compared to the fair value of the underlying common shares. The 161,266 unexercised pre-funded warrants as of September 30, 2023 were included in the Company’s calculation of basic and diluted loss per share.

 

The Company’s Convertible Note, on an as converted basis into common stock of 9,523 shares, and the following outstanding stock-based awards and warrants, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to net loss for the periods:

Total     375,811       54,510       375,811       54,510  

 

Income taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded zero income tax expense. No tax benefit has been recorded in relation to the pre-tax loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, due to a full valuation allowance to offset any deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carry forwards attributable to the losses.

 

 

Accounting Pronouncements- Adopted

 

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Accounting Pronouncements- Not Yet Adopted

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments primarily by eliminating the existing cash conversion and beneficial conversion models within Subtopic 470-20, which will result in fewer embedded conversion options being accounted for separately from the debt host. The guidance also amends and simplifies the calculation of earnings per share relating to convertible instruments. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within that reporting period, excluding smaller reporting companies. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that reporting period, using either a full or modified retrospective approach. Since the Company is a smaller reporting company (“SRC”), implementation is not needed until after December 15, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
