Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as set forth in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, except as disclosed in this note.

 

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the collectability of an insurance claims receivable, the fair value of financial instruments warrants, options and equity shares, the valuation of stock-based compensation, and the estimates and assumptions related to impairment analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets.

 

Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and may cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries was the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) (0.7874 CAD to 1 US dollar as of December 31, 2021) or British Pound (“GBP”) (1.2146 and 1.3510 GBP to 1 US dollar, each as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period (0.8139 CAD and 0.8018 CAD to 1 US dollar for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, 1.2571 and 1.3973 GBP to 1 US dollar for each of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 1.2995 and 1.3879 GBP to 1 US dollar for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively). Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of an entity from all sources other than investments by owners or distributions to owners and includes foreign currency translation adjustments as described above. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive (loss) income of ($1,908,051) and $406,487, respectively, as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive (loss) income of ($2,636,132) and $595,835, respectively, as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations. The Company recognized $22 and ($120) of foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and recognized $7,395 and $18,543 of foreign currency transaction gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Such amounts have been classified within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Accrued Issuable Equity

Accrued Issuable Equity

 

The Company records accrued issuable equity when it is contractually obligated to issue shares and sometimes there are administrative delays in the issuance of such shares. Accrued issuable equity is recorded and carried at fair value with changes in its fair value recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Once the underlying shares of common stock are issued, the accrued issuable equity is reclassified as of the share issuance date at the then current fair market value of the common stock.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

 

The following table details the net income (loss) per share calculation, reconciles between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, and presents the potentially dilutive shares that are excluded from the calculation of the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Warrant, Option and Convertible Instrument Valuation

Warrant, Option and Convertible Instrument Valuation

 

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options using a Black-Scholes model. The expected term used for warrants is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

 

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon that evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 11 - Subsequent Events.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
