Operations

Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a biopharmaceutical company whose principal operations are the development of innovative treatments for cancer.  The Company had an accumulated deficit of $161,453,752 at September 30, 2019 and anticipates incurring losses in the foreseeable future.  In September 2019, the Company commenced a process to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value and engaged a financial advisory firm to assist in the process. 



The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $13.9 million as of September 30, 2019 will be sufficient to cover its cash flow requirements for its current activities for at least the next 12 months from the date these financial statements were issued. 

Basis Of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and of the results of operations, comprehensive loss and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”).  Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the 2018 Form 10-K.    The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.



Use of Estimates

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 and 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.  These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future.  Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically, and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.
