Nature of Operations

Rezolute, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company incorporated in Delaware in 2010.

Reverse Stock Split

Reverse Stock Split

In August 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split that was subject to stockholder approval at a special meeting that was concluded on October 28, 2019. Stockholders approved the proposal whereby the Board of Directors had the ability at any time on or before October 23, 2020 to execute a reverse stock split and set an exchange ratio between 20 and 100 shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. On October 7, 2020, the Board of Directors approved reverse stock split whereby fifty shares were exchanged into one newly-issued share of the Company’s $0.001 par value Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), resulting in the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The Amendment was effective on October 9, 2020. On February 17, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of correction (the “Charter Revision”) with the State of Delaware Secretary of State. The Charter Revision changed the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 on February 17, 2021. The Charter Revision also changed the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 400,000 shares that were authorized beginning on February 17, 2021.

In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments were made to increase the per share exercise prices and decrease the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants whereby approximately the same aggregate price is required to be paid for such securities upon exercise as had been payable immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All references in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to the number of shares of Common Stock and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K, which contains the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended fiscal June 30, 2020.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnote disclosures necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition and results of operations that may be expected for any future interim period or for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the previously issued comparative interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the current interim financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss, working capital, cash flows and stockholders’ equity.

Consolidation

Consolidation

On February 12, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the State of Delaware Secretary of State to dissolve AntriaBio Delaware, Inc., which was a dormant company with no assets, liabilities or operations. As a result, the Company now has two wholly owned subsidiaries consisting of Rezolute (Bio) Ireland Limited and Rezolute Bio UK, Ltd. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 condensed 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, determination of the fair value of the derivative liability for an authorized share deficiency, fair value of share-based payments, management’s assessment of going concern, accrued clinical trial liabilities, and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent 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 as discussed further in Note 2, and the future impact of COVID-19 as discussed in Note 8.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021,  the Company did not adopt any new accounting policies, however the Company did make the following accounting policy election with respect to accounting policies which are currently applied, as necessary, during the quarter:

Derivative Liability for Authorized Share Deficiency

Derivative Liability for Authorized Share Deficiency

As discussed above, the Company filed the Charter Revision that changed the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares effective on February 17, 2021. Upon filing the Charter Revision, the Company had approximately 8,352,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding plus approximately 2,428,000 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and outstanding warrant agreements. Since authorized shares were limited to 10,000,000 shares, the Company could be required to settle in cash the shares subject to the deficiency of 780,000 shares. Since all of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants previously met the criteria for classification in stockholders’ equity, the Company is required to reclassify the fair value related to 780,000 shares from stockholders’ equity to a liability beginning on February 17, 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company made an accounting policy election to select the stock options and warrants with the earliest issuance dates to compute the estimated fair value of the financial instruments associated with the authorized share deficiency. The result of the election of this accounting policy was to determine the liability using the stock options and warrants that generally had the highest exercise prices that were least likely to be exercised. Fair value of the stock options and warrants associated with the deficiency are computed on the date the deficiency arose and at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Key assumptions inherent in this valuation model include the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock, the remaining contractual term of the options and warrants, and the market price of our Common Stock on the valuation date. Changes in these factors from period to period can result in significant increases and decreases in fair value of the derivative liability, with corresponding gains or losses reflected in our operating results for each reporting period. If the Company’s stockholders subsequently approve a sufficient increase in authorized shares, the Company will no longer include the derivative liability in its balance sheets after the approval date. However, any gains or losses reflected prior to the approval date will not be reversed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Required to be Adopted in Future Years. The following accounting standards are not yet effective; management has not completed its evaluation to determine the impact that adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments.  This update adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses.  Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of expected credit losses.  In November 2019, ASU 2016-13 was amended by ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) whereby the effective date for ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies is now required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, which results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 affects the diluted earnings per share calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 allows entities to use a modified or full retrospective transition method and is effective for smaller reporting companies 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 those fiscal years.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not currently expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
