The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 – The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ampio” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and advancement of immunology-based therapies for prevalent inflammatory conditions. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the SEC on Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of the financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. The results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is unaudited. The balance sheet at December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Impact of Global Pandemic In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). In March 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a global pandemic. COVID-19 has, and continues, to adversely impact the United States and global economies. In April 2020, and pursuant to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), independent Safety Monitoring Committee (“SMC”), and Institutional Review Board guidance covering ongoing clinical trials in the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company and the clinical research organization (“CRO”) paused all ongoing conduct associated with the Phase III clinical trial (the “AP-013 study”) of Ampion for the treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee (“OAK”). In March 2021, the Company submitted a detailed proposal to the FDA in response to the FDA’s guidance regarding the status of the AP-013 study. In April 2021, the Company received a response to the proposal from the FDA, which provides guidance and flexibility on how to maintain the Special Protocol Assessment (“SPA”), while allowing the Company to evaluate and consider several paths for moving forward. The Company is evaluating the FDA’s response and will continue to maintain an ongoing active dialog with the FDA with respect to the AP-013 study to reach agreement on the path forward considering the ongoing pandemic. The AP-013 study data will continue to remain paused and blinded to ensure clinical trial integrity and compliance with the SPA issued by the FDA in June 2019 until agreement is reached with the FDA. In addition, since June 2020, the Company has commenced several clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy for new applications of Ampion (i.e., inhaled and intravenous) related to COVID-19 infection. Given the continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related complexities and uncertainties associated with the additional variants, the Company’s business operations could be significantly impacted and, in addition, the business operations of third parties on which the Company relies, including organizations that conduct clinical trials and key suppliers which provide the raw materials for manufacturing Ampion for the ongoing clinical trials could also be impacted. The full extent of the potential adverse impact on the Company’s business operations and related product development, including, but not limited to, clinical trials, financing activities and the overall impact on the United States and the global economy will depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted at this time due to the continued uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or foreign currency hedging arrangements. The Company consistently maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances in the form of bank demand deposits, United States federal government backed treasury securities and fully liquid money market fund accounts with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company periodically monitors its cash positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, and as consistent with prior reporting periods, the Company maintained balances in excess of federally insured limits. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and related disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions primarily include the Company’s projected liquidity and resulting going concern position and the projected useful lives and potential impairment of fixed assets. The Company develops these estimates using its judgment based upon the facts and circumstances known at the time. Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has not adopted any recent accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “ Debt (Subtopic 470-20); Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging (Subtopic 815-40) Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have a current and/or future impact on or are unrelated to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. |

Going Concern | Note 2 - Going Concern As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15.8 million and a net loss of $3.7 million, respectively. The net loss is primarily attributable to operating expenses of $3.8 million, partially offset by the non-cash derivative gain of $151,000 (see Note 9 In February 2020, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with two agents to implement an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) equity offering program under which the Company, at its sole discretion, may issue and sell from time to time shares of its authorized common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold shares pursuant to the ATM equity offering program, which yielded gross proceeds of $2.7 million, which was offset by offering related costs of $126,000 (see Note 10 The Company has prepared an updated projection covering the period from May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2022 based on the requirements of ASC 205-40, “ Going Concern The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Paycheck Protection Program | |
Paycheck Protection Program | Note 6 – Paycheck Protection Program In April 2020, the Company received proceeds of $544,000 via a loan from KeyBank National Association (the “Lender”) that was issued under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The term of the PPP loan is two years with an annual interest rate of 1.0% and principal and interest payments will be deferred for the first six months of the loan term, which was subsequently updated in accordance with the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”). In October 2020, the Company submitted its PPP loan forgiveness application, requesting forgiveness of the full principal amount of its PPP loan of $544,000, which the Company believes to consist of qualified expenses as defined by the Flexibility Act. The loan forgiveness application has been approved by the Lender and submitted to the SBA for final review. According to the Flexibility Act, the SBA will, subject to any SBA review of the loan or loan application, remit the appropriate forgiveness amount to the Lender, plus any interest accrued thereon through the date of payment, not later than 90 days after the Lender issues its decision to the SBA. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not been notified by the Lender of the SBA’s response to the PPP loan forgiveness application, but the Lender has confirmed that repayment of the loan will be deferred until the SBA provides a response. Based on the PPP loan forgiveness application calculation, and the Lender approving the loan forgiveness application, the Company continues to assert that it is probable the PPP loan qualifies for forgiveness in full by the SBA and such forgiveness will be provided by the SBA in due course. However, without formal approval from the SBA, the Company cannot provide certainty that it will obtain forgiveness in whole or in part. The Company believes that it is not likely or probable, but pursuant to the Flexibility Act, the Company’s PPP loan agreement will be amended in the event that no amount or less than all of the PPP loan is forgiven. In addition, starting in September 2021, the Company will be required to make principal and interest payments totaling $23,000 per month or an adjusted amount based on the loan amendment over the remaining term of the PPP loan until such time as the loan is fully settled. |

Key Clinical Research Trial Obligations Osteoarthritis of the Knee AP-013 study In December 2020, the Company entered into an initial contract with a CRO in connection with the AP-013 study database totaling $1.4 million. The contract required a retainer of $465,000, which the Company funded during the three months ended March 31, 2021. In March 2021, the Company submitted a detailed proposal to the FDA in response to the FDA’s guidance regarding the status of the AP-013 study, which was paused as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, the Company received a response to the proposal from the FDA. The Company is evaluating the FDA’s response and will continue to maintain an ongoing active dialog with the FDA with respect to the AP-013 study to reach agreement on the path forward considering the ongoing pandemic. Until agreement with the FDA is reached, the AP-013 study data will continue to remain paused and blinded to ensure clinical trial integrity. Depending on the FDA’s response, the future contractual commitment amount and timing of disbursement may change. The Company had an outstanding future commitment of $347,000 (net of deposit) as of March 31, 2021. Inhaled treatment for COVID-19 patients AP-014 study and AP-018 study In September 2020, the Company entered into a contract with a CRO in connection with the FDA approved IND application covering inhaled Ampion treatment for COVID-19 infected patients hospitalized for respiratory distress (the “AP-014 study”) totaling $836,000. The contract scope reflected an initial estimate of ten study sites. However, the Company was able to finalize enrollment of the AP-014 study with only three sites. Based on the reduction in study sites, the revised estimate for the AP-014 study was reduced to $530,000. In addition, the contract required an initial retainer of $232,000, which has been funded and will be applied to the study expenses as further defined by the contract. In March 2021, the Company entered into a new contract with a CRO in connection with a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase I study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ampion in patients with Long-COVID, or prolonged respiratory symptoms due to COVID-19 (“the AP-018 study”). Due to the reduction of the AP-014 contractual amount, the Company requested, and the CRO approved, that $105,000 of the AP-014 retainer be transferred to the AP-018 study retainer (see additional information below). Due to the transfer of a portion of the retainer to the AP-018 study, the remaining retainer balance for the AP-014 study is $127,000. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had incurred cumulative costs totaling $496,000 against the contract for the AP-014 study and, as such, had an outstanding obligation of $0 (net of deposit). As noted above, in March 2021, the Company entered into a contract with a CRO totaling $318,000 for the AP-018 study for at-home treatment with inhaled Ampion for patients with Long-COVID, or prolonged respiratory symptoms due to COVID-19. The contract required an initial retainer of $105,000, which will be applied to future study expenses as further defined by the contract. The Company expects to commence enrollment of the AP-018 study during the second quarter of 2021 and, as such, had an outstanding future commitment of $213,000 (net of deposit) as of March 31, 2021. Intravenous (“IV”) treatment for COVID-19 patients AP-017 study In December 2020, the Company entered into a contract with a CRO in connection with the FDA approved IND application covering IV Ampion treatment for COVID-19 patients for an expanded global Phase II study (the “AP-017 study”) totaling $1.8 million. The contract required an initial retainer of $495,000, which the Company funded during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and which will be applied to future study expenses as further defined by the contract. The Company expects to commence enrollment in the AP-017 study during the second quarter of 2021 and, as such, had an outstanding future commitment of $1.1 million (net of deposit) as of March 31, 2021. BLA Consulting Services In March 2018, the Company entered into a BLA consulting services agreement for $1.2 million. This contract required a deposit, of which $182,000 was funded and classified within the “prepaid expenses and other” line item on the balance sheet. In June 2020, the Company finalized contract negotiations to increase the contract by a nominal amount to incorporate the review of the IND applications for inhaled and IV Ampion treatment. In September 2020, the Company finalized an amendment to the existing contract, which resulted in a refund of the initial deposit and requires the Company to provide a future deposit totaling $364,000 at such time the work commences related to the preparation of the related BLA for Ampion. The Company has incurred cumulative costs totaling $82,000 against this contract and, as such, had outstanding future obligations totaling $1.1 million as of March 31, 2021, which will be settled at such time as future services are provided to the Company primarily related to the development and filing of the Ampion BLA. Due to the pause of the AP-013 study, as of the date of this filing, the Company estimates the incurrence of the remaining costs associated with the preparation of the BLA filing will be postponed until early 2022, if not later. Statistical Analysis and Programming Consulting Services In May 2019, Ampio entered into a statistical analysis and programming consulting services agreement for $578,000. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had incurred cumulative costs totaling $252,000 against the contract and, as such, had an outstanding obligation of $326,000, which is expected to be settled over the duration of 2021. Employment Agreements On December 14, 2019, the Company entered into a new three-year employment agreement with Mr. Macaluso, Chief Executive Officer, which became effective January 10, 2020, immediately following the expiration of his prior employment agreement. The new employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $300,000 and term ending January 10, 2023, subject to certain automatic renewal provisions. On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into a new two-year employment agreement with Ms. Cherevka, Chief Operating Officer, which by its terms cancelled the previous employment agreement on such date. The new employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $280,000 and a term ending September 16, 2021, subject to certain automatic renewal provisions. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Daniel Stokely, Chief Financial Officer, on July 9, 2019, which provided for an annual salary of $285,000 and a term beginning July 31, 2019 and lasting for three years, subject to certain automatic renewal provisions. Amounts noted above do not assume the continuation of employment beyond the contractual terms of each employee’s existing employment agreements. Facility Lease In December 2013, the Company entered into a 125-month non-cancellable operating lease for office space and a manufacturing facility. The effective date of the lease was May 1, 2014. The initial base rent of the lease was $23,000 per month. The total base rent over the term of the lease is approximately $3.3 million, which includes rent abatements and leasehold incentives. The Company adopted the FASB issued ASC 842, “Leases (Topic 842)” The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s remaining undiscounted payments for its facility lease and the carrying amount of the lease liability presented in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021: Facility Lease Payments Remainder of 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Remaining Facility Lease Payments $ 1,259,000 $ 260,000 $ 355,000 $ 364,000 $ 280,000 $ — $ — Less: Discount Adjustment (117,000) Total lease liability $ 1,142,000 Lease liability-current portion $ 291,000 Long-term lease liability $ 851,000 The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s remaining ROU asset for its facility lease presented in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021: ROU Asset Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 824,000 Amortization (48,000) Balance as of March 31, 2021 $ 776,000 The Company recorded lease expense in the respective periods is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Lease expense $ 73,000 $ 67,000 |

In addition, former placement agents elected to exercise 32,000 of their warrants utilizing the net exercise option, where the total number of shares of common stock issued was reduced to cover the exercise price, and the Company issued 23,000 shares of common stock as a result. The Company did not receive any cash related to the exercise of placement agent warrants. The total value for the warrant derivative liability as of March 31, 2021 is approximately $2.5 million (see Note 9 |

Fair Value Considerations [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Considerations | Note 9 - Fair Value Considerations Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources not affiliated with the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows: Level 1: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and warrant derivative liability. Warrants are recorded at estimated fair value utilizing the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model. The Company’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of the fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques in all periods presented. The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, by level within the fair value hierarchy: Fair Value Measurements Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total March 31, 2021 Liabilities: Warrant derivative liability $ — $ — $ 2,456,000 $ 2,456,000 December 31, 2020 Liabilities: Warrant derivative liability $ — $ — $ 2,607,000 $ 2,607,000 The warrant derivative liability for both periods presented was valued using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology because that model embodies all the relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy: Derivative Instruments Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 2,607,000 Warrant exercises (347,000) Change in fair value 196,000 Balance as of March 31, 2021 $ 2,456,000 |

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the agents shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions as documented on a purchase notification form. If an agent declines to accept the purchase notification form, the agent must promptly notify the Company and the other agent then has the ability to accept or decline the purchase notification form. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares and may, at any time and in its sole discretion, suspend sales under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Sales Agreement includes customary indemnification rights in favor of the agents, and provides that the agents will be entitled to an aggregate fixed commission of 4.0% of the gross proceeds (2.0% to each agent) to the Company from any shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The following table summarizes the Company’s sales and related issuance costs incurred under the Sales Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2021: Sales Agreement Total shares of common stock sold 1,848,437 Gross proceeds $ 2,705,000 Commissions earned by placement agents (109,000) Issuance fees (17,000) Net proceeds $ 2,579,000 Common Stock Issued for Services The Company issued 54,052 and 136,236 shares of common stock under the Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), each valued at $80,000, as partial compensation for the services of non-employee directors, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |

Equity | Note 11 - Equity Options In December 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2019 Plan, under which shares were reserved for future issuance of equity related awards classified as option awards/grants, restricted stock awards and other equity related awards. The 2019 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors and consultants. The stockholders approved a total of 10.0 million shares to be reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The Company’s previous 2010 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) was cancelled concurrently with the adoption of the 2019 Plan. The following table summarizes the activity of the 2019 Plan and the shares available for future equity awards as of March 31, 2021: 2019 Plan Total shares reserved for equity awards 10,000,000 Options granted during previous fiscal years (2,067,471) Options granted during fiscal 2021 (36,000) Forfeited, expired and/or cancelled equity awards 22,226 Remaining shares available for future equity awards 7,918,755 The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2021: Weighted Weighted Average Number of Average Remaining Aggregate Options Exercise Price Contractual Life Intrinsic Value Outstanding as of December 31, 2020 6,099,651 $ 1.04 7.36 $ — Granted 36,000 $ 1.76 Exercised (129,500) $ 0.48 Forfeited, expired and/or cancelled (5,000) $ 1.75 Outstanding as of March 31, 2021 6,001,151 $ 1.06 7.14 $ 5,109,000 Exercisable as of March 31, 2021 5,692,151 $ 1.06 7.00 $ 4,906,000 Of the 129,500 stock options that were exercised, 8,000 were cash exercised, where the Company received proceeds to cover the option holder’s exercise price and tax obligations totaling $6,000. In addition, 60,000 stock options were exercised as cashless exercises, where the Company received proceeds to cover the option holders’ exercise price totaling $27,000. The remaining 61,500 stock options were net exercised, where the total number of shares of common stock issued was reduced to cover the option holders’ exercise price and tax obligations. The Company submitted the tax obligations totaling $40,000 on behalf of the option holders and did not receive any cash proceeds from the net stock option exercises. Shares of common stock that are held back upon exercise of a stock option to cover the option holder’s exercise price and tax obligations are added back to the shares of stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The following table summarizes the outstanding options that were issued in accordance with the 2010 Plan and the 2019 Plan: Outstanding Options by Plan March 31, 2021 2010 Plan 3,938,180 2019 Plan 2,062,971 Outstanding as of March 31, 2021 6,001,151 Stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2021 are summarized in the table below: Number of Weighted Weighted Average Options Average Remaining Range of Exercise Prices Outstanding Exercise Price Contractual Lives Up to $0.50 602,000 $ 0.44 8.31 $0.51 - $1.00 4,346,007 $ 0.70 7.31 $1.01 - $1.50 194,000 $ 1.38 9.62 $1.51 and above 859,144 $ 3.22 4.88 Total 6,001,151 $ 1.06 7.14 The Company computes the fair value for all options granted or modified using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. To calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding components of the model, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. The Company calculates its volatility assumption using the actual changes in the market value of its stock. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The Company’s historical option exercises do not provide a reasonable basis to estimate an expected term due to the lack of sufficient data. Therefore, the Company estimates the expected term by using the simplified method. The simplified method calculates the expected term as the average of the vesting term plus the contractual life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity. The Company computed the fair value of options granted/modified during the period ended March 31, 2021, using the following assumptions: Expected volatility 127.17 % Risk free interest rate 0.78 % Expected term (years) 5.00 Stock-based compensation expense related to the fair value of stock options is included in the statements of operations as research and development expenses or general and administrative expenses as set forth in the table below. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense (stock options and common stock issued for services) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Research and development expenses Stock-based compensation $ 46,000 $ 59,000 General and administrative expenses Issuance of common stock for services 80,000 80,000 Stock-based compensation 120,000 154,000 Total stock-based compensation $ 246,000 $ 293,000 Unrecognized expense as of March 31, 2021 165,000 Weighted average remaining years to vest 1.29 |

Earnings Per Share | |
Earnings Per Share | Note 12 - Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the treasury stock method and computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The Company’s potentially dilutive shares include stock options and warrants for the shares of common stock. The potentially dilutive shares are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when the effect is dilutive. The investor warrants are treated as equity in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in both the computation of the numerator and denominator, if dilutive. The following table sets forth the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Net loss $ (3,667,000) $ (5,179,000) Less: decrease in fair value of investor warrants (151,000) (831,000) Loss available to common stockholders $ (3,818,000) $ (6,010,000) Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 195,387,047 159,053,722 Add: dilutive effect of equity instruments 5,365,220 1,504,055 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 200,752,267 160,557,777 Earnings per share – basic $ (0.02) $ (0.03) Earnings per share – diluted $ (0.02) $ (0.04) The potentially dilutive shares of common stock that have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because of their anti-dilutive effect are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Outstanding stock options 1,510,485 5,948,013 Warrants to purchase shares of common stock 2,939,996 5,904,288 Total potentially dilutive shares of common stock 4,450,481 11,852,301 |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the SEC on Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of the financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. The results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is unaudited. The balance sheet at December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. |
Impact of Global Pandemic | Impact of Global Pandemic In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). In March 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a global pandemic. COVID-19 has, and continues, to adversely impact the United States and global economies. In April 2020, and pursuant to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), independent Safety Monitoring Committee (“SMC”), and Institutional Review Board guidance covering ongoing clinical trials in the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company and the clinical research organization (“CRO”) paused all ongoing conduct associated with the Phase III clinical trial (the “AP-013 study”) of Ampion for the treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee (“OAK”). In March 2021, the Company submitted a detailed proposal to the FDA in response to the FDA’s guidance regarding the status of the AP-013 study. In April 2021, the Company received a response to the proposal from the FDA, which provides guidance and flexibility on how to maintain the Special Protocol Assessment (“SPA”), while allowing the Company to evaluate and consider several paths for moving forward. The Company is evaluating the FDA’s response and will continue to maintain an ongoing active dialog with the FDA with respect to the AP-013 study to reach agreement on the path forward considering the ongoing pandemic. The AP-013 study data will continue to remain paused and blinded to ensure clinical trial integrity and compliance with the SPA issued by the FDA in June 2019 until agreement is reached with the FDA. In addition, since June 2020, the Company has commenced several clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy for new applications of Ampion (i.e., inhaled and intravenous) related to COVID-19 infection. Given the continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related complexities and uncertainties associated with the additional variants, the Company’s business operations could be significantly impacted and, in addition, the business operations of third parties on which the Company relies, including organizations that conduct clinical trials and key suppliers which provide the raw materials for manufacturing Ampion for the ongoing clinical trials could also be impacted. The full extent of the potential adverse impact on the Company’s business operations and related product development, including, but not limited to, clinical trials, financing activities and the overall impact on the United States and the global economy will depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted at this time due to the continued uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or foreign currency hedging arrangements. The Company consistently maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances in the form of bank demand deposits, United States federal government backed treasury securities and fully liquid money market fund accounts with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company periodically monitors its cash positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, and as consistent with prior reporting periods, the Company maintained balances in excess of federally insured limits. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and related disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions primarily include the Company’s projected liquidity and resulting going concern position and the projected useful lives and potential impairment of fixed assets. The Company develops these estimates using its judgment based upon the facts and circumstances known at the time. |
Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has not adopted any recent accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
