Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2018, and for all periods presented herein, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2018. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are expressed in United States Dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2018 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Singapore Volition, Belgian Volition, Hypergenomics, Volition America and Volition Diagnostics. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As of September 30, 2018, 10,291,897 dilutive potential common shares from warrants and options were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. In the statement of operations and comprehensive loss, the Company has reclassified the prior year comparative three and nine-month amounts of research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative to be consistent with the current year classification.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
