General Overview
Jupiter Wellness, Inc. researches, develops, licenses, and sells various products in the wellness field focused on hair, skin, and sexual health. Its PhotocilTM and Minoxidil Booster, are currently licensed to sell in over 30 countries worldwide. Its product NoStingz is sold in the US. The Company's clinical pipeline of -enhanced skin care therapeutics address indications including eczema, burns, herpes cold sores... InFebruary 2021 , we announced the results of our novel Cannabidiol-Aspartame combination treatment JW-100 clinical trial which has shown it significantly Reduces ISGA Score in Eczema patients. A double blinded placebo controlled interventional study was conducted. Subjects were assigned to apply, at home, one of three treatments: JW-100 (a cannabidiol and aspartame combination topical formulation), a cannabidiol only topical formulation, or a placebo topical formulation. After 14 days, the average reduction in the Investigators Static Global Assessment (ISGA) score was calculated for each group. Additionally, the proportion of subjects achieving (ISGA) score 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least 2 grade improvement from baseline was recorded for each arm of the study. 50% of subjects in the JW-100 arm achieved ISGA clear or almost clear (1 or 2) with at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline after treatment versus 20% and 15% in the CANNABIDIOL-only and placebo arms, respectively. The percentage of subjects achieving clear or almost clear with at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline was found to be statistically significant (p=0.028). JW-100, a novel topical formulation containing cannabidiol and aspartame, was shown to significantly reduce ISGA score in atopic dermatitis patients after two weeks of use. The combination of cannabidiol and aspartame was more effective at reducing ISGA scores than cannabidiol alone. A Phase 3 study, a head-to-head comparison with marketed product Eucrisa, is in progress. An OTC system for the treatment of Eczema based on this approach is planned for launch in 2023. Photocil will be launched in Q4 2022. The minoxidil booster product is scheduled to be launched inJapan byTaisho Pharmaceuticals in 2023. The sexual wellness product is completing clinical studies and formulation development and will be ready for product launch in 2023, 2 Table of Contents
In parallel, we plan to initiate the development of other products. We originally anticipated developmental studies to be completed in 2020, however, these studies were delayed due to COVID-19.
InNovember 2021 ,Jupiter Wellness received an official written response from a Type B pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting with theU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for JW-100, a topical drug the treatment of eczema. The main purpose of the pre-IND meeting was to evaluate the drug development plan for JW-100.Jupiter Wellness believes that the written response from the FDA supports the Company's approach and its overall drug development strategy to enable the filing of an IND for its clinical studies on JW-100. OnNovember 16, 2021 ,Jupiter Wellness announced the results of a double-blinded placebo controlled clinical trial on JW-300 showing efficacy for the treatment of developing burns (sunburn). The endocannabinoid system, which is a body system affected by cannabidiol, plays a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy skin through modulating pain sensation, cell proliferation and inflammation. Our strategy for treatment of skin indications is, therefore, to focus on the use of cannabidiol containing topical formulations and to explore potential combinations of cannabidiol and other agents that may augment and act synergistically with cannabidiol. We will explore this strategy by conducting controlled clinical trials to try to ultimately gain FDA approval for specific indications. OnNovember 30, 2020 , the Company acquiredSRM Entertainment, Limited , aHong Kong Special Administrative Region ofthe People's Republic of China limited company ("SRM"). SRM has relationships with and supplies the amusement park industry with exclusive products that are often only available to consumers inside the relevant amusement park, entertainment venues and theme hotels inOrlando Florida ,Beijing China ,Japan and other places throughout the worldwide theme park industry. All of the testing on these products is standard testing for suncare products. Such testing protocols are not intended to test for any effects of adding cannabidiol. In addition to these tests that were conducted to support the claims on the package, each batch is also tested for appearance, color, odor, pH, viscosity, specific gravity, analytical for the sunscreen active ingredients, and microbial content testing. Our products are tested each time they are manufactured.DCR Labs manufactures our products and has represented to us that it is compliant with theFDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practice, or CGMP, regulations in accordance with 21 CFR 210/211 required for Over-the-Counter drug products.DCR Labs has self-imposed health and safety standards to ensure compliance with theFDA's CGMPs. 3 Table of Contents We expect to continually update and expand upon our corporate website and further refine our online retail strategies on an ongoing basis. JupiterWellness.com is our primary corporate website, which will serve as the primary source of information about us for investors and contain press releases, clinical trial pipeline, lab reports, blog posts, and additional information about each of our brands. We anticipate that each brand will have its own front-facing website dedicated to retail sales and brand specific information. For example, our line of sun care products, CaniSun, has its own website at CaniSun.com and allows for online retail purchase of the entire product line. As we expand our brands (CaniSkin and CaniDermRX), we anticipate utilizing the same strategy and dedicating a new e-commerce website to each brand moving forward. We are also building a website dedicated to servicing our wholesale and larger distributor clients. This website will have more information about each product and provide a central location for larger retailers to find more in-depth information about all of our brands in one place. We plan to leverage our websites with a social media presence across multiple platforms designed to utilize product reviews to increase brand loyalty, brand recognition and sales. The references to our website in this prospectus are inactive textual references only. The information on our website is neither incorporated by reference into this prospectus nor intended to be used in connection with this offering. We also see growth potential in developing retail locations. We intend to utilize cross-promotion marketing campaigns with our products and product category expansion that leverages our existing distribution channels. We have built an e-commerce platform designed to connect us directly to consumers. We use the platform to sell products, educate customers and build brand loyalty.
CaniSkin Brand and CaniDermRX Brand
We are currently developing other products such as cannabidiol -infused skin care lotion under the CaniSkin brand. Specifically, a cannabidiol -infused moisturizing face serum is under development. We must first finalize the formula to be used in the face serum, and, once approved, the product candidate will undergo stability testing. We intend to sell the product, provided it first passes stability testing, on our website for CaniSkin products. Additionally, we are developing innovative dermatological treatments under the CaniDermRX brand that are specialized to treat atopic dermatitis and other dermatological conditions such as burns, skin cancer and herpes cold sores, respectively. Subject to obtaining FDA approval, we intend for our experimental-stage product for the treatment of atopic dermatitis to compete with Dupixent, an FDA-approved product for treating atopic dermatitis, and for our experimental-stage product for the treatment of herpes cold sores to compete with Silvadene and Abreva, FDA-approved products for treating herpes cold sores. These products require more extensive testing to show both safety and efficacy. In addition, we plan to seek acquisition opportunities in the branded consumer products space, including but not limited to other OTC therapeutic brands and skin care brands that can be developed, manufactured, marketed and distributed under our CaniSkin and CaniDermRX brand names. We filed a provisional patent number 62/884,955 on08/09/2019 on an Aspartame/ cannabidiol combination and intend to develop products containing a combination of cannabidiol and Aspartame under the CaniDermRX name for the treatment of pain and inflammation. OnFebruary 11, 2021 , the US Patent Published our US Patent Application 20210038513 and onApril 5, 2021 we filed the International filing through PCT Application PCT/US 2020/045408. We believe that our CaniDermRX product candidates have the potential to treat many skin indications such as atopic dermatitis, pruritis-itch, non-atopic dermatitis/eczema, psoriasis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, seborrheic dermatitis, actinic keratosis, epidermolysis bullosa and cutaneous neoplasias. Aspartame is a rigorously tested food ingredient. Reviews by major governmental regulatory bodies have previously found the ingredient safe for consumption at higher levels than we contemplate using in our CaniDermRX product candidates. We believe that our formulations that include Aspartame, such as topical crème, lip balm, powder and dog treats, are well-tolerated by, and safe for, users. We believe that infusing cannabidiol in our products may help alleviate irritation that may be caused by applying sun care products and may lead to reduced inflammation. In human skin, receptors of the endocannabinoid system are found in differentiated keratinocytes, hair follicle cells, sebaceous glands, immune cells, and sensory neurons. Activation of cannabinoid receptor type 2, or CB2, for which cannabidiol is a ligand receptor in these cells has been shown to reduce pain and itch sensation, regulate keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation, decrease hair follicle growth, and modulate the release of damage-induced keratins and inflammatory mediators to control the homeostasis of the skin environment.
SRM Acquisition
OnNovember 30, 2020 , we entered into and closed the Exchange Agreement with SRM, aHong Kong Special Administrative Region ofthe People's Republic of China limited company and wholly owned subsidiary of Vinco, and SRM Shareholders, pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the SRM Common Stock from the SRM Shareholders in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, the resale of which is subject to a leak out provision and escrow of 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Upon closing, and pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company delivered the 150,000 shares of its common stock to SRM and placed 50,000 shares in escrow ("Escrow Shares"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company shall release the Escrow Shares upon SRM generating$200,000 in cash receipts and revenue prior toJanuary 15, 2021 . The Escrow shares have not been released as of the date hereof. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company assumed all of the financial obligations of SRM, as well as its employees and offices. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, SRM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. SRM has relationships with and supplies the amusement park industry with exclusive products such as toys, lights, fans and other items that are sold in amusement parks. SRM has developed, manufactured and supplied the amusement park industry with exclusive products that are often only available to consumers inside the relevant amusement park, entertainment venues and theme hotels inOrlando Florida ,Beijing China ,Japan and other places throughout the worldwide theme park industry. . SRM has developed unique products in conjunction with suppliers of products for core licensed items for major well-known brands, themes, characters and movies. Products developed by SRM are generally shipped directly to the theme park without warehousing at the Company's facilities. SRM does not have long-term agreements with its customers, and instead develops products on an item-by-item basis subject to purchase orders from its customers. Through SRM, we additionally intend to seek to sell our sun care products in the amusement parks. We recently developed a line of non- cannabidiol infused sun care products for sale in the amusement parks. 4 Table of Contents Recent Developments InJuly 2021 , the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the "Offering") of 11,066,258 shares (the "Company Offering Shares") of common stock, par value$0.001 per share and warrants (the "Company Warrants") to purchase up to 11,607,142 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance with an exercise price of$2.79 per share and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and Offering expenses, were$28,318,314 , which includes net proceeds from partial exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase 1,741,071 Company Warrants, representing 15% of the Company Warrants sold in the base offering. OnNovember 3, 2021 , the Company filed a registration statement with theSecurities and Exchange Commission to sponsor Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corporation ("JWAC") a SPAC, dedicated to investing in AI based therapeutics and diagnostics. OnDecember 9, 2021 , JWAC consummated the initial public offering ("IPO") of 13,800,000 at a price of$10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of$138,000,000 . Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, JWAC consummated the sale of 629,000 placement units at a price of$10.00 per placement unit in a private placement generating gross proceeds of$6,290,000 . As ofJune 30, 2022 , the Company had invested$2,908,300 inJupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC ("JWSL"), an affiliate, which in turn invested the funds to JWAC OnJanuary 20, 2022 the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that, because the Company made the Share Grants not pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan despite them considered to be S-8 eligible, Nasdaq had determined that the Company did not comply with Listing Rule 5635(c). It was brought to our attention that 180,000 shares of common stock, out of the total 1,020,000 shares of common stock to consultants (the "Consulting Share Awards") that were issued to three consultants, Greentree Financial (100,000 shares), Inc.,L&H Inc. (20,000 shares), and Tee 2Green Enterprises, Ltd. (60,000 shares), during the relevant period (the "Share Grants"), should have been issued pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan because the Share Grants were considered to be S-8 eligible. As a result, the inadvertent issuance of the Share Grants to the mentioned-above three consultants was not made in compliance with Listing Rule 5635(c). The Company subsequently notified Nasdaq that the Board has approved the reallocation of the Share Grants to be accounted for as if they were originally issued under the 2021 Equity Plan, and has made the corresponding change to the Company's books and records. However, since the 2021 Equity Plan has previously been exercised in full, to allow for the reallocation of the Share Grants under the 2021 Equity Plan, onJanuary 17, 2022 , the Board determined that 100,000 options that have previously been issued under the 2021 Equity Plan toBrian John , and 100,000 options issued to Dr.Glynn Wilson be cancelled, a revocation to which Messrs. John and Wilson have agreed. Following the remedial measures the Company was informed that the Company has regained compliance with the Rule and that this matter is now closed. OnJune 28, 2022 the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that, because the Company made certain share issuances outside of a shareholder approved equity compensation plan, Nasdaq had determined that the Company did not comply with Listing Rule 5635(c). On July 26, 2022, the Company submitted a final compliance plan to Nasdaq consisting of the following corrective actions: (1) onJuly 20, 2022 , the Company's four executive officers (Messrs. John, Miller, and McKinnon andDr. Wilson ), all of whom are on the Company's Board of Directors except forMr. McKinnon , each cancelled 2,750 options issued to them inAugust 2021 pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option Forfeiture Agreement. The cancellation of the 11,000 options in total enabled the issuance of 11,000 shares to a non-executive employee that took place in 2021 to be reallocated to be accounted for as if it was originally issued under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company's Board of Directors passed a resolution onJuly 25, 2022 , making the corresponding change to the Company's books and records with regard to the 11,000 shares; and (2) onJuly 26, 2022 , the same four executive officers, returned, and the Company cancelled, a total of 56,496 shares of common stock issued to them in 2021 outside of a shareholder approved equity compensation plan. Following the remedial measures, the Company was informed that the Company has regained compliance with the Rule and that this matter
is now closed. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations ofUS Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance withUnited States generally accepted accounting principles, orU.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of theSecurities and Exchange Commission . The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates. 5 Table of Contents
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the "JOBS Act"), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as ofJune 30, 2022 orDecember 31, 2021 . Net Loss per Common Share Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the "customer").
The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: ? identify the contract with a customer; ? identify the performance obligations in the contract; ? determine the transaction price;
? allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
? recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company's performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on an FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk
Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the Company's products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , the Company recorded an allowance of$104,851 against accounts receivable acquired in connection with the acquisition ofSRM Entertainment and as ofJune 30, 2022 , the Company had recognized no additional allowance for doubtful collections.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the six-months endedJune 30, 2022 and year endedDecember 31, 2021 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as ofJune 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 were not material.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of our assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
7 Table of Contents Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Since we were incorporated onOctober 24, 2018 , the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year, which would be the only period subject to examination. We believe that our income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to our financial position. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense. The Company's deferred tax asset atDecember 31, 2021 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately$4,865,890 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately$4,865,890 . Because of the Company's lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the years endedDecember 31, 2021 and 2020.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development ("ASC 730-10"). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of$128,241 and$195,716 for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. OnOctober 24, 2018 , the inception date ("Inception"), we adopted ASU No. 2018-07 "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. 8 Table of Contents Related parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of theCompany; b . Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
InJune 2018 , the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The Company has adopted this standard beginningJanuary 1, 2019 . The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures. InFebruary 2016 , Topic 842, "Leases" was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, "Leases". The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2018 , including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company has adopted this standard beginningJanuary 1, 2019 . The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
