Notes to Financial Statements
Liquidity Disclosures [Text Block]	Note 3 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans We are subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, the need for additional capital, risks of failure of preclinical and clinical studies, the need to obtain marketing approval and reimbursement for any drug product candidate that we may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of our product candidates, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development of technological innovations by competitors, and risks associated with our international locations and activities abroad, including but not limited to having foreign suppliers, manufacturers, and clinical sites in support of our development activities. We have incurred net losses since inception. Our net loss was $17.3 million and $37.4 million, respectively, for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Our net loss was $25.5 million and $46.4 million, respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Included in our net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is an $11.6 million loss on impairment of goodwill, and included in our net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is a $37.8 million loss on impairment of intangible assets related to rostafuroxin and a related $8.3 million deferred income tax benefit (see, Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). We expect to continue to incur operating losses for at least the next several years. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $810.8 million. Our future success is dependent on our ability to fund and develop our product candidates, and ultimately upon our ability to attain profitable operations. We have devoted substantially all of our financial resources and efforts to research and development and general and administrative expense to support such research and development. Net losses and negative cash flows have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital, and accordingly, our ability to execute our future operating plans. We are party to an At-The-Market Offering Agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., or Ladenburg, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, up to a maximum of $10.0 million of shares of our common stock through Ladenburg as agent and/or principal through an at-the-market program, or the ATM Program. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 1,137,246 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $1.3 million and net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million. During July and August 2022, we sold 1,221,706 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program resulting in aggregate gross and net proceeds to us of approximately $0.6 million (see, Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity). The shares of common stock issued and sold under the ATM Program are registered under our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-248874), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 29, 2020. We are currently subject to the limitations contained in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. As a result, we are limited in selling no more than one-third of the aggregate market value of the equity held by non-affiliates, or the public float, during any 12-month period. If our public float increases to $75 million or more, we will no longer be subject to such limitations. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.4 million and current liabilities of $5.3 million. We believe that we have sufficient resources available to support our development activities and fund our business operations into the first quarter of 2023. However, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to support our operations for at least the 12 months following the date that the financial statements are issued. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through 12 months after the date that the financial statements are issued. To alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, management plans to secure additional capital, potentially through a combination of public or private securities offerings, convertible debt financings, and/or strategic transactions, including potential licensing arrangements, alliances, and drug product collaborations focused on specified geographic markets; however, none of these alternatives are committed at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to us to fund continuing operations, if at all, or identify and enter into any strategic transactions that will provide the capital that we will require. Further, on June 3, 2022, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, notifying us that the closing bid price of our common stock had been below the minimum $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we are out of compliance with the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, and are subject to potential delisting. If we are unable to re-achieve compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements within 180 days, or November 30, 2022, after receipt of a delisting notice, and if we are unable to obtain an extension therefore, we would be subject to delisting, which likely would further impair the liquidity and value of our common stock. The failure to obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms when needed would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include accounts of Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CVie Investments Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary, CVie Therapeutics Limited; and a presently inactive subsidiary, Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (formerly known as Acute Therapeutics, Inc.).

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We record acquired identified intangibles, which includes intangible assets (such as goodwill and other intangibles), based on estimated fair value. The acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D, assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. IPR&D is not amortized but reviewed for impairment at least annually, or when events or changes in the business environment indicate the carrying value may be impaired. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no events or changes in circumstances occurred indicating that our IPR&D intangible assets were more likely than not impaired.

During the second quarter of 2021, we determined that the fair value of the IPR&D related to our rostafuroxin drug candidate was more likely than not impaired and we performed the required quantitative impairment assessment of the related intangible asset. We recorded a loss on impairment of intangible assets of $37.8 million, recognized within operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. No events or changes in the business environment occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to indicate that the fair value of the IPR&D related to our istaroxime drug candidate was impaired.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and is not amortized. It is reviewed for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in the business environment indicate that its carrying value may be impaired. Our company consists of one reporting unit. In order to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we compare the estimated fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is required, and no impairment exists. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the difference between the carrying value and the fair value is recorded as an impairment loss, the amount of which may not exceed the total amount of goodwill. When performing our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of December 1, 2021, we estimated the fair value of our reporting unit based upon the quoted market price and related market capitalization of our common stock, adjusted for an estimated control premium. Based on the quantitative test performed, we determined that the fair value of our reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and no impairment loss was recognized as of December 31, 2021.

Throughout the year, we consider whether any events or changes in the business environment have occurred which indicate that goodwill may be impaired. For example, a significant decline in the closing share price of our common stock and market capitalization may suggest that the fair value of our reporting unit has fallen below its carrying amount, indicating that an interim goodwill impairment test is required. Accordingly, we monitor changes in our share price during interim periods between annual impairment tests and consider overall stock market conditions, the underlying reasons for the decline in our share price, the significance of the decline, and the duration of time that our securities have been trading at a lower value. We have experienced a declining trend in the closing share price of our common stock following the announcement in April 2022 of positive topline results in our Phase 2 global clinical study of istaroxime for the treatment of early cardiogenic shock.

During the second quarter of 2022, the continued declining trend in the closing share price of our common stock suggested that the fair value of our reporting unit was more likely than not less than its carrying value. As a result, we performed the required interim goodwill impairment test consistent with the methodology that we use when performing our annual goodwill impairment assessment, including the use of the quoted market price and related market capitalization of our common stock, adjusted for an estimated control premium based on transactions completed by comparable companies. Based on the quantitative test performed, we recorded a loss on impairment of goodwill of $11.6 million, recognized within operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The closing share price of our common stock has continued to decline during July and August 2022. If our share price continues to decline during the remainder of the third quarter of 2022, we may be at risk for future impairment to goodwill in the near term.

The following table represents identifiable intangible assets and goodwill as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	*June 30,*		*December 31,*
(in thousands)	*2022*		*2021*

Istaroxime drug candidate	$	22,340	$	22,340
Rostafuroxin drug candidate		9,730		9,730
Intangible assets		32,070		32,070

Goodwill	$	4,046	$	15,682

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional currency for our foreign subsidiaries is U.S. Dollars. We remeasure monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions are recognized in other income (expense), net. Foreign currency transactions resulted in gains of approximately $0.2 million and losses of approximately $0.3 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Foreign currency transactions resulted in gains of approximately $0.4 million and losses of approximately $0.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and goodwill, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held at domestic and foreign financial institutions and consist of liquid investments, money market funds, and U.S. Treasury notes with a maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Severance

In January 2022, in order to focus our resources on the development of our istaroxime pipeline, we began to reduce costs related to KL4 surfactant that were not already transferred to our licensee in Asia, Lee’s (HK), under the terms of the Asia License Agreement. These costs include certain reductions in headcount dedicated to KL4 surfactant and the decommissioning of both our analytical and technical support laboratory, which previously conducted release testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and supportive research for our lyophilized and aerosolized KL4 surfactant, and our medical device development laboratory, which was previously used to conduct development activities and testing for our ADS technologies. In February 2022, management communicated its commitment to provide severance payments to impacted employees, provided that they remain employed with us through their expected termination dates. The total severance cost for impacted employees is approximately $0.4 million, which was ratably accrued over the service periods of the employees, and to be paid through September 30, 2022. We incurred $0.1 million and $0.4 million of expense related to these severance arrangements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which is included in research and development expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $0.2 million was paid. The related liability as of June 30, 2022 is $0.2 million and is included in accrued expenses.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment [Policy Text Block]

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally three to ten years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

During the first quarter of 2022, we determined that certain manufacturing and laboratory equipment assets related to the KL4 surfactant platform would be abandoned by March 31, 2022. We accelerated depreciation of these assets during the first quarter of 2022, resulting in $0.4 million of additional depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, the abandoned assets and certain other KL4 surfactant platform assets were disposed.

Restructured Debt Liability, Contingent Milestone Payment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Restructured Debt Liability – Contingent Milestone Payment

In conjunction with the November 2017 restructuring and retirement of long-term debt (see, Note 7 – Restructured Debt Liability), we have established a $15.0 million long-term liability for contingent milestone payments potentially due under the Exchange and Termination Agreement dated as of October 27, 2017, or the Exchange and Termination Agreement, between ourselves and affiliates of Deerfield Management Company L.P., or Deerfield. The liability has been recorded at full value of the contingent milestones and will continue to be carried at full value until the milestones are achieved and paid or milestones are not achieved and the liability is written off as a gain on debt restructuring.

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Research and Development

We track direct research and development expenses by preclinical and clinical programs, which include third-party costs such as contract research organization, consulting, and clinical trial costs. We do not allocate indirect research and development expenses, which include product development and manufacturing expenses and clinical, medical, and regulatory operations expenses, to specific programs. Indirect research and development expenses include personnel, facilities, manufacturing and quality operations, pharmaceutical and device development, research, regulatory, and medical affairs. Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 730, Research and Development.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

We use a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Because we have never realized a profit, management has fully reserved the net deferred tax asset since realization is not assured.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a deferred income tax benefit of $8.3 million. The deferred tax benefit recorded for these periods relates solely to the reduction of the deferred tax liability as a result of the loss on impairment of intangible assets related to rostafuroxin.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the number of shares of common stock potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain stock options and warrants, as well as the vesting of restricted stock units, was 21.2 million and 19.9 million shares, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive and therefore have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.

We do not have any components of other comprehensive (loss) income.

Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic [Policy Text Block]

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and we continue to closely monitor its impact on our business and operations, including its continued impact on our clinical development plans and timelines, and financial condition. There has been intermittent impact of the pandemic in differing geographies, and there may be continued impact, particularly in light of the surge of new COVID-19 cases relating to new variants. As of the date of the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our operations, capital and financial resources, and overall liquidity position and outlook have been impacted by COVID-19, primarily due to delays experienced in our operations, including in clinical study initiation and enrollment. The extended timelines have required us to expend more of our capital resources than planned to achieve our projected milestones. For example, our Phase 2 study of istaroxime for early cardiogenic shock in heart failure patients experienced delays in trial initiation and enrollment in 2021. Although many countries have re-opened, rises in new cases, including as the result of newly identified COVID-19 variants, have caused certain countries, states, and localities to re-initiate restrictions. The full extent, duration, or impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have, directly or indirectly, on our financial condition and operations, including ongoing and planned clinical trials, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. These potential future developments include the severity and transmissibility of new variants of the virus, information about any resurgences in one or more geographic locations where our current or intended clinical trial sites, our principal executive offices, research and development laboratories, or manufacturing facilities are located, and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. In addition, regional impact and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have affected where a clinical trial could be executed and how various elements of the clinical trial are performed. Going forward, the pandemic could also impact how monitoring/auditing of clinical trial sites and data occur. The maintenance, or strategic re-implementation, of mitigating COVID-19 measures in one or more geographic locations where our clinical trial sites, principal executive offices, research and development laboratories, or other facilities are located remains possible and if realized, we believe there could be further impact on the clinical development of our product candidates, which may include potential delays, halts, or modifications to our ongoing and planned trials in 2022 and beyond.

We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require us to further update our estimates, judgments, or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

Note 1 – The Company and Description of Business

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapeutics intended to address significant unmet medical needs in important acute care markets. Our development programs are primarily focused on the treatment of acute cardiovascular diseases and secondarily on acute pulmonary diseases. Our lead product candidate, istaroxime, is a first-in-class, dual-acting agent being developed to improve cardiac function in patients with acute heart failure, or AHF, with a potentially differentiated safety profile from existing treatments. Istaroxime demonstrated significant improvement in both diastolic and systolic aspects of cardiac function and was generally well tolerated in three Phase 2 clinical trials. Istaroxime has been granted Fast Track designation for the treatment of AHF by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. Based on the profile observed in our Phase 2 clinical studies in AHF, where istaroxime significantly improved cardiac function and systolic blood pressure in acute decompensated heart failure patients, we initiated a Phase 2 global clinical study to evaluate istaroxime for the treatment of early cardiogenic shock (Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions Stage B shock), a severe form of AHF characterized by very low blood pressure and risk for hypoperfusion to critical organs. We completed this Phase 2 global clinical study and, in April 2022, announced positive topline results with istaroxime in raising systolic blood pressure. In May 2022, we presented the study results at the European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Meeting in Madrid, Spain.

Our heart failure cardiovascular portfolio also includes sarco endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase 2a, or SERCA2a, activators which activate SERCA2a. This research program is evaluating these preclinical product candidates, including oral and intravenous SERCA2a activator heart failure compounds. As potential oral agents, these candidates would be developed for chronic heart failure. In addition, our cardiovascular drug product candidates include rostafuroxin, a novel product candidate for the treatment of hypertension in patients with a specific genetic profile. We are pursuing potential licensing arrangements and/or other strategic partnerships and do not intend to advance this product candidate without securing such an arrangement or partnership.

Our pulmonary product candidate portfolio consists of a KL4 surfactant platform to address a range of serious respiratory conditions in children and adults. In January 2022, we completed enrollment of 20 patients in our Phase 2 study of lucinactant (KL4 surfactant) for patients with severe novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, associated acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. The study demonstrated that intratracheal administration of reconstituted lyophilized lucinactant was generally safe and well tolerated. Oxygenation and other physiological parameters were stable to improved after dosing, supporting the feasibility of this treatment approach to develop a potential treatment for critically ill patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 or other causes.

Previously, we were also developing AEROSURF (lucinactant for inhalation), a novel drug/medical device combination product for noninvasive delivery of aerosolized KL4 surfactant using our aerosol delivery system, or ADS, technology for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants. In order to focus our resources on the development of our istaroxime pipeline, we suspended all internal AEROSURF clinical activities in November 2020, and in January 2022 we began to reduce all other costs related to the KL4 surfactant platform that were not already transferred to our licensee in Asia, Lee’s Pharmaceutical (HK) Ltd., or Lee’s (HK), under the terms of our License, Development and Commercialization Agreement between us and Lee’s (HK) dated as of June 12, 2017, as amended, or the Asia License Agreement. To support the future development of our KL4 surfactant platform in markets outside of Asia, including the U.S., we are pursuing a potential licensing transaction.

Our ability to advance our development programs is dependent upon our ability to secure additional capital in both the near and long-term, through public or private securities offerings; convertible debt financings; and/or potential strategic opportunities, including licensing agreements, drug product development, and marketing collaboration arrangements, pharmaceutical research cooperation arrangements, and/or other similar transactions in geographic markets, including the U.S., and/or through potential grants and other funding commitments from U.S. government agencies, in each case, if available. We have engaged with potential counterparties in various markets and will continue to pursue non-dilutive sources of capital as well as potential private and public securities offerings. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to identify and enter into public or private securities offerings on acceptable terms and in amounts sufficient to meet our needs or qualify for non-dilutive funding opportunities under any grant programs sponsored by U.S. government agencies, private foundations, and/or leading academic institutions, or identify and enter into any strategic transactions that will provide the additional capital that we will require. If none of these alternatives is available, or if available and we are unable to raise sufficient capital through such transactions, we potentially could be forced to limit or cease our development activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The reader is referred to, and encouraged to read in its entirety, “Item 1 – Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 31, 2022, which contains a discussion of our business and business plans, as well as information concerning our proprietary technologies and our current and planned development programs.

Note 10 – Licensing and Research Funding Agreements

In March 2020, we entered into a Term Sheet with Lee’s (HK), pursuant to which Lee’s (HK) provided financing for the development of AEROSURF. In August 2020, we entered into a Project Financing Agreement with Lee’s (HK), or the PF Agreement, formalizing the terms of the Term Sheet, and under which we received payments totaling $2.8 million through October 2020. In November 2020, Lee’s (HK) provided notice of termination of additional funding under the PF Agreement, and we and Lee’s (HK) revised our plans for the continued development of AEROSURF. Lee’s (HK) agreed to continue the development of AEROSURF in Asia at its cost. Lee’s (HK) agreed to fund an additional $1.0 million to us in 2021 for certain transition and analytical services to be provided by us with respect to the development of AEROSURF, which will be considered “Project Expenses” under the terms of the PF Agreement. In 2021, we received payments totaling $1.0 million from Lee’s (HK) and no further amounts are due under the PF Agreement.

To repay the funds provided under the terms of the PF Agreement, until such time as we have repaid 125% of the amounts funded by Lee’s (HK) for the development of AEROSURF, we will pay to Lee’s (HK) 50% of all revenue amounts and payments received by us for any sale, divestiture, license or other development and/or commercialization of the KL4/AEROSURF patent portfolio, excluding (i) payments for bona fide research and development services; (ii) reimbursement of patent expenses and (iii) all amounts paid to us under the Asia License Agreement, minus certain deductions and certain reductions for any payments made by us with respect to third party intellectual property not previously funded by Lee’s (HK).

As of June 30, 2022, the liability balance related to the payments under the PF Agreement was $3.8 million and is recorded in other liabilities.

Note 7 – Restructured Debt Liability

On October 27, 2017, we and Deerfield entered into an Exchange and Termination Agreement pursuant to which (i) promissory notes evidencing a loan with affiliates of Deerfield Management Company L.P., or the Deerfield Loan, in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 8,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2,360.40 per share held by Deerfield were cancelled in consideration for (i) a cash payment in the aggregate amount of $2.5 million, (ii) 23,703 shares of common stock, representing 2% of fully-diluted shares outstanding (as defined in the Exchange and Termination Agreement) on the closing date, and (iii) the right to receive certain milestone payments based on achievement of specified AEROSURF development and commercial milestones, which, if achieved, could potentially total up to $15.0 million. In addition, a related security agreement, pursuant to which Deerfield held a security interest in substantially all of our assets, was terminated. We established a $15.0 million long-term liability for the contingent milestone payments potentially due to Deerfield under the Exchange and Termination Agreement (see, Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). The liability has been recorded at full value of the contingent milestones and will continue to be carried at full value until the milestones are achieved and paid or milestones are not achieved and the liability is written off as a gain on debt restructuring.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the restructured debt liability balance was $15.0 million.

- Definition

Total of all stockholders' equity (deficit) items, net of receivables from officers, directors, owners, and affiliates of the entity which are attributable to the parent. The amount of the economic entity's stockholders' equity attributable to the parent excludes the amount of stockholders' equity which is allocable to that ownership interest in subsidiary equity which is not attributable to the parent (noncontrolling interest, minority interest). This excludes temporary equity and is sometimes called permanent equity.

Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

	●	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	●	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	●	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The tables below categorize assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented:

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity

At-The-Market Program

On September 17, 2020, we entered into an At-The-Market Offering Agreement with Ladenburg, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, up to a maximum of $10.0 million of shares of our common stock through Ladenburg as agent and/or principal through the ATM Program. When we issue sales notices to Ladenburg, we designate the maximum amount of shares to be sold by Ladenburg daily and the minimum price per share at which shares may be sold. Ladenburg may sell shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in privately negotiated transactions.

We agreed to pay Ladenburg a commission of 3% of the gross sales price of any shares sold pursuant to the ATM Program. The rate of compensation will not apply when Ladenburg acts as principal.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 1,137,246 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $1.3 million and net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold 552,474 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program resulting in aggregate gross and net proceeds to us of approximately $1.7 million.

During July and August 2022, we sold 1,221,706 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program resulting in aggregate gross and net proceeds to us of approximately $0.6 million.

The shares of common stock issued and sold under the ATM Program are registered under our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-248874), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 29, 2020. As of August 11, 2022, approximately $3.2 million remains available under the ATM Program. However, we are currently subject to the limitations contained in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. As a result, we are limited in selling no more than one-third of our public float during any 12-month period. If our public float increases to $75 million or more, we will no longer be subject to such limitations.

March 2021 Public Offering

On March 23, 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as representative for the several underwriters named therein, relating to a public offering, or the March 2021 Offering, of an aggregate of 9,230,500 units with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant, or the March 2021 Warrants. The March 2021 Warrants are immediately exercisable for shares of common stock at a price of $3.60 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The shares of common stock and the March 2021 Warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately in the March 2021 Offering.

The closing of the March 2021 Offering occurred on March 25, 2021. The offering price to the public was $3.25 per unit resulting in gross proceeds to us of $30.0 million. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the March 2021 Warrants issued pursuant to the March 2021 Offering, the net proceeds to us were approximately $27.4 million.

We have determined that the appropriate accounting treatment under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 480, is to classify the common stock and the March 2021 Warrants issued in the March 2021 Offering as equity. We have also determined that the March 2021 Warrants are not in their entirety a derivative under the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, due to the scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74, nor are there any material embedded derivatives that require separate accounting. We allocated the net proceeds from the March 2021 Offering based on the relative fair value of the common stock and the March 2021 Warrants.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for shareholders' equity comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, including other comprehensive income. Includes, but is not limited to, balances of common stock, preferred stock, additional paid-in capital, other capital and retained earnings, accumulated balance for each classification of other comprehensive income and amount of comprehensive income.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize expense in our condensed consolidated financial statements related to all stock-based awards granted to employees and non-employee directors based on their fair value on the date of grant. Compensation expense related to stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized ratably over the vesting period, which is typically three years. Compensation expense related to restricted stock unit, or RSU, awards is also recognized ratably over the vesting period, which typically has been between approximately one to three years.

A summary of activity under our long-term incentive plans is presented below:

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula that uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based upon the historical volatility of our common stock and other factors. We also use historical data and other factors to estimate option exercises, employee terminations and forfeiture rates. The risk-free interest rates are based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
