| Note 1 - Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q as they are prescribed for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the nine months period ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement as amended.
On May 24, 2017 the Company effected an 11 to 1 reverse stock split. The statements in this report have been prepared showing the effect as of the beginning of the periods included.
On July 12, 2017, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with WallachBeth Capital, LLC and Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (the “Underwriters”), related to the Company’s initial public offering of 1,178,532 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $6.00 per share, less $0.60 constituting the underwriting commissions and non-accountable expense allowance. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase up to an additional 176,780 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. Total gross proceeds from the offering were $7,071,192 and the Company received net proceeds after costs of $5,977,924.
Coincident with the closing of the IPO, the Company retired all of its principal debt of $3,440,000 and approximately $283,000 of accrued interest through the issuance of approximately 857,000 shares.
Description of Business
Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (“Company,” “CDI,”), a Utah corporation headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a molecular diagnostics company formed in April 2013, that develops, manufactures and markets a new, state-of-the-art diagnostics technology.
CDI’s diagnostics systems enable very rapid, low-cost, sophisticated molecular testing for organisms and genetic diseases by greatly automating historically complex procedures in both the development and administration of tests. CDI’s newest technical advance involves a novel approach to PCR primer design (cooperative primers) that eliminates one of the key vexing issues of PCR amplification, the exponential growth of primer-dimer pairs which adversely interferes with identification of the target DNA. In addition CDI scientists have enhanced the understanding of the mathematics of DNA test design, so as to “engineer” a DNA test and automate algorithms to screen millions of possible designs to find the optimum DNA test design. CDI’s proprietary platform of Co-Dx™ technologies integrates and streamlines these steps as it analyzes biological samples.
Co-Diagnostics’ CoDx™ portfolio of molecular diagnostics development products and tests represents a radical new advancement in the understanding of the molecular interactions of DNA. The Company uses highly specialized, proprietary cooperative-theory mathematics, leading to a revolutionary leap forward in the detection of infectious diseases, genetic disorders and other conditions. CoDx™ tests are a fraction of the cost of other DNA-based tests, designed for a new generation of affordable, mobile point-of-care diagnostic devices and compatible with many other devices, making state-of-the-art diagnostics available anywhere in the world, including developing countries.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB has issued (“ASU”) No. 2017-03. Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) This standard addresses specific guidance on applying the equity method of accounting to investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies. The new authoritative guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 Leases, which requires recognition of leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual periods and interim periods with those periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09: "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this standard to the Company's results of operations or financial position. |
