3. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oragenics, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries Noachis Terra, Inc. (“NTI”) and Oragenics Australia Pty Ltd. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

New Accounting Standards

There are no additional accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal area of estimation reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are estimates for research and development expenses and related prepaid and accrued expenses, which are based on the percentage of completion of the Company’s contracts with Contract Research Organizations.

Net Loss Per Share

During all periods presented, the Company had securities outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive because the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented. Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
