Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are consistent with those discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 shares of common stock issuable under certain outstanding pre-funded warrants and shares of common stock held by the Company in abeyance are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing earnings per share, as these shares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested, and are exercisable after the original issuance date. The 2,432,705 unexercised pre-funded warrants and in connection with the February 2024 Warrant Exercise (see Note 11), 1,980,000 warrants that were exercised during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were not yet issued as common stock and are held by the Company in abeyance, were included in the Company’s calculation of basic and diluted loss per share.

 

The Company recorded a deemed dividend of $5,508 in connection with a February 2024 Warrant Exchange Agreement, as defined herein and further discussed in Note 11. The deemed dividend is added to the net loss in determining the net loss available to common stockholders.

 

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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded zero income tax expense. No tax benefit has been recorded in relation to the pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, due to a full valuation allowance to offset any deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carry forwards attributable to the losses.

 

 

New Accounting Pronouncements- Recently 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. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024. 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 March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting which provides optional expedients and exceptions for the accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 to clarify the scope of certain optional expedients for derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 to defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures. These new requirements include: disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM, the title and position of the CODM, and the extension of certain annual disclosures to interim periods, permitting the disclosure of multiple measures of segment profit or loss, provided that certain criteria are met. The standard also clarifies that entities with a single reportable segment are subject to new and existing segment reporting requirements. The standard will be effective for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Entities must adopt the changes to the segment reporting guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of the amendments, and it does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements, other than the required changes to the segment disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information in specified categories in the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. ASU 2023-09 also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold and eliminates certain existing disclosures. In addition to new disclosures associated with the rate reconciliation, the standard requires information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. The standard will be effective for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of the standard, and it does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on its condensed financial statements, other than the required changes to the income tax disclosures.
