QUANTRX BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Overview
The Company has developed and ultimately intends to commercialize its innovative PAD based products for the over-the-counter (“OTC”) and laboratory markets based on its patented technology platforms, and its genomic diagnostics, based on its patented PadKit® technology for the worldwide healthcare industry. These platforms include: inSync®, Unique™, PadKit®, and OEM branded OTC and laboratory testing products based on the Company’s core intellectual property related to its PAD technology. These products are intended for the treatment of hemorrhoids, minor vaginal infection, urinary incontinence, general catamenial uses and other medical needs.
The Company’s efforts to commercialize its products are currently contingent on additional financing to execute its business and operating plan, which is currently focused on the commercialization of the Company’s PAD technology either directly or through a joint venture or other relationship intended to increase shareholder value. In the interim, the Company has executed a plan to substantially reduce expenses, including headcount, and to restructure and/or eliminate many of its outstanding liabilities. This plan was necessary in order for the Company to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that the Company will obtain financing, or otherwise successfully develop a business and operating plan or enter into an alternative relationship to commercialize the Company’s PAD technology.
On June 20, 2012, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, QX Labs, Inc. (“QX”), and convey and transfer to QX all intellectual property and assets related to the Company’s diagnostic testing business ("Diagnostics Business"). The Diagnostic Business is based principally on the Company’s proprietary PadKit® technology, which the Company believes provides a patented platform technology for genomic diagnostics, including fetal genomics. Following the transfer of the Diagnostics Business to QX, the Company’s other business line will consist of its over-the-counter business, including the InSync feminine hygienic interlabial pad, the Unique pad for hemorrhoid application, and other treated miniforms (the “OTC Business”), as well as established and continuing licensing relationships related to the OTC Business. Management believes the creation of QX permits the Company to more efficiently explore different options to maximize the value of the Diagnostics Business and the OTC Business (collectively, the “Businesses”), with the objective of maximizing the value of the Businesses for the benefit of the Company and its stakeholders.
The Company’s current focus is to develop a financing and operating plan to: (i) leverage its broad-based intellectual property (IP) and patent portfolio to develop new and innovative diagnostic products; (ii) commercialize its OTC Business and Diagnostics Business, either directly or through joint ventures, mergers or similar transactions intended to capitalize on commercial opportunities presented by each of the Businesses; (iii) contract manufacturing to third parties while maintaining control over the manufacturing process; and (iv) maximize the value of the Company’s investments in non-core assets. As a result of its current financial condition, however, the Company’s efforts in the short-term will be focused on obtaining financing necessary to maintain the Company as a going concern.
Recent Developments
Settlement of GUSA Note Receivable and Litigation. On May 24, 2013, the Company and Genomics USA, Inc. ("GUSA") settled the Company’s complaint filed against GUSA seeking to recover all amounts due the Company under the terms of a promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 (the "GUSA Note"). The Complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and sought repayment of all amounts due under the terms of the GUSA Note, and accrued interest thereon, plus attorney's fees. The settlement agreement entered into by the parties provides for the payment to the Company of $200,000, of which $20,000 was paid on June 7, 2013, and $10,000 per month shall be paid on the 7th day of each consecutive month thereafter for a total of 18 months.
Issuance of Additional Promissory Notes. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued two additional promissory notes to two investors in the principal amounts of $2,000, and $25,000 (together, the “Notes”). As additional consideration for the purchase of the Notes, the Company issued an aggregate total of 27,000 warrants to purchase shares of FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (“FPMI”) common stock, for $1.00 per share (“FPMI Warrants”), to the investors. The FPMI Warrants expire on February 15, 2019.
The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6% annually. The Notes were due and payable on June 30, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), and are currently payable upon demand by the Note holders. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.10 per share. In addition, the holder may exchange the Notes for common stock in the event the Company consummates a qualified financing (the “Qualified Financing”), which is defined in the Notes as a financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $500,000. While the Company intends to pay the Notes using proceeds from a Qualified Financing, such Qualified Financing may not occur prior to the date the holder of the Notes demands repayment.
The Company presently intends to issue additional Promissory Notes to finance its current working capital needs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to issue additional Promissory Notes.
2. Management Statement Regarding Going Concern
The Company currently is not generating revenue from operations. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through issuances of equity and the proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes. In the past, the Company also provided for its cash needs by issuing common stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees, as well as divesting its minority equity interests and equity-linked investments.
The Company’s history of operating losses, limited cash resources and the absence of an operating plan necessary to capitalize on the Company’s assets raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, absent a strengthening of our cash position. Management is currently pursuing various funding options, including seeking debt or equity financing, licensing opportunities and the sale of certain investment holdings, as well as a strategic, merger or other transaction to obtain additional funding to continue the development of, and to successfully commercialize, its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts. Should the Company be unable to obtain adequate financing or generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company’s business, result of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed, and the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that, assuming the Company is able to strengthen its cash position, it will achieve sufficient revenue or profitable operations to continue as a going concern.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting for Share-Based Payments. The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, which establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges equity securities for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining fair value. Accordingly, compensation cost has been recognized using the fair value method and expected term accrual requirements as prescribed, which resulted in employee stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 of $30,000 and $30,000, respectively and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $27,000.
The Company accounts for share-based payments granted to non-employees in accordance with ASC Topic 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The Company determines the fair value of the stock-based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
In the case of modifications, the Black-Scholes model is used to value the warrant on the modification date by applying the revised assumptions. The difference between the fair value of the warrants prior to the modification and after the modification determines the incremental value. The Company has modified warrants in connection with the issuance of certain notes and note extensions. These modified warrants were originally issued in connection with previous private placement investments. In the case of debt issuances, the warrants were accounted for as original issuance discount based on their relative fair values. When modified in connection with a note issuance, the Company recognizes the incremental value as a part of the debt discount calculation, using its relative fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” When modified in connection with note extensions, the Company recognized the incremental value as prepaid interest, which is expensed over the term of the extension.
The fair value of each share based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which are determined at the beginning of each year and utilized in all calculations for that year:
During 2012, the fair value of each share based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model using an average risk free interest rate of 3.08%, expected volatility of 261%, and a dividend yield of zero. During 2011, the fair value of each share based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model using a risk free interest rate of 3.22%, expected volatility of 300%, and a dividend yield of zero.
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The interest rate used is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security as of the beginning of the year.
Expected Volatility. The Company calculates the expected volatility based on historical volatility of monthly stock prices over a three year period.
Dividend Yield. The Company has never paid cash dividends, and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus has assumed a 0% dividend yield.
Expected Term. For options, the Company has no history of employee exercise patterns. Therefore, the Company uses the option term as the expected term. For warrants, the Company uses the actual term of the warrant.
Pre-Vesting Forfeitures. Estimates of pre-vesting option forfeitures are based on Company experience. The Company will adjust its estimate of forfeitures over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company has used an average risk-free interest rate of 3%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an average volatility of 261% to calculate the fair value of equity securities issued for services.
Earnings per Share. The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260. Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and the dilutive effect of common share equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase common stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, if applicable, that are outstanding each year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were the same at the reporting dates of the accompanying financial statements, as including common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have been antidilutive.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding options exercisable for 304,500 shares of its common stock, warrants exercisable for 2,132,500 shares of its common stock, and preferred shares convertible into 20,416,228 shares of its common stock. The above options, warrants, and preferred shares were deemed to be antidilutive for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding options exercisable for 304,500 shares of its common stock, warrants exercisable for 6,529,873 shares of its common stock, and preferred shares convertible into 20,416,228 shares of its common stock. The above options, warrants, and preferred shares were deemed to be antidilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Fair Value. The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its assets or liabilities.

On November 19, 2011 these Notes were cancelled and reissued in the original principal amount plus $1,373 of accrued interest, under the terms of the Notes described below. Concurrently with this debt financing commitment, the lender agreed to surrender and cancel 2,069,000 warrants held by it, and in consideration therefore the Company issued the lender 2,069,000 shares of common stock valued at $62,070.

The Notes are convertible at the option of each respective holder into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.10 per share. In addition, the holders may exchange the Notes for common stock in the event the Company consummates a qualified financing (the “Qualified Financing”), which is defined in the Notes as a financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $500,000. While the Company intends to pay the Notes using proceeds from a Qualified Financing, such Qualified Financing may not occur prior to the date the holders of the Notes demand repayment.
In connection with the issuance of all Notes, the Company has recorded debt discount and expenses of the beneficial conversion feature of $106,261 and $28,998, respectively. The Company will amortize these expenses over the life of the Notes. As of December 31, 2012, the Company recorded interest expense related to the debt discount of $21,905 and $3,777 related to the beneficial conversion feature.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Professional Services Agreement.

Under the terms of the consulting agreement, however, amounts due thereunder were not paid, and instead were accrued, until the earlier to occur of such time as the Company's cash balance exceeded $1.5 million, or 24 months from the date of execution. For each month in which payment of the cash component was deferred, the Company's financial advisor was to be issued a warrant exercisable for 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of the higher of $0.20 per share or 105% of the closing price on the date of issuance. The term of the consulting agreement is 18 months, and the term of the warrants was five years.
On August 1, 2012, the consulting agreement was amended to extend the deferral period for accrued cash compensation from May 16, 2013 to December 31, 2013, and the provision related to monthly warrant issuances was replaced with a provision requiring the Company to issue 100,000 shares of restricted stock monthly in lieu of the issuance of 200,000 warrants. This was completed in October 2012. In addition, all warrants previously issued under the consulting agreement were exchanged for shares of common stock at a ratio of one share of restricted common stock for every two warrants issued under the terms of the consulting agreement, resulting in the cancellation of warrants to issue 3.0 million shares of common stock and the issuance of a total of 1.5 million shares of restricted common stock.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included elsewhere in this filing. The following discussion (as well as statements in Item 1 above and elsewhere) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Some or all of the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements may not occur. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, trends in the biotechnology, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors of the economy; competitive pressures and technological developments from domestic and foreign genetic research and development organizations which may affect the nature and potential viability of our business strategy; and private or public sector demand for products and services similar to what we plan to commercialize. We disclaim any intention or obligation to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us,” the “Company” or similar terms refer to QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, a Nevada corporation.
Overview
The Company has developed and ultimately intends to commercialize its innovative PAD based products for the OTC and laboratory markets based on its patented technology platforms, and its genomic diagnostics, based on its patented PadKit® technology for the worldwide healthcare industry. These platforms include: inSync®, Unique™, PadKit®, and OEM branded OTC and laboratory testing products based on the Company’s core intellectual property related to its PAD technology. These products are intended for the treatment of hemorrhoids, minor vaginal infection, urinary incontinence, general catamenial uses and other medical needs.
The Company’s efforts to commercialize its products are currently contingent on additional financing to execute its business and operating plan, which is currently focused on the commercialization of the Company’s PAD technology, either directly or through a joint venture or other relationship intended to increase shareholder value. In the interim, the Company has executed a plan to substantially reduce expenses, including headcount, and to restructure and/or eliminate many of its outstanding liabilities. This plan was necessary in order for the Company to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that the Company will obtain financing, or otherwise successfully develop a business and operating plan or enter into an alternative relationship to commercialize the Company’s PAD technology.
For the period ending June 30, 2013, the Company had minority investments in Genomics USA, Inc. ("GUSA"). The Company is currently evaluating its minority equity interest in GUSA with the objective of extracting the value of such investment for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. The Company currently does not realize any material value in its investment in GUSA.
On June 20, 2012, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, QX Labs, Inc. (“QX”), to convey and transfer to QX all intellectual property and assets related to the Company’s diagnostic testing business ("Diagnostics Business"). The Diagnostic Business is based principally on the Company’s proprietary PadKit® technology, which the Company believes provides a patented platform technology for genomic diagnostics, including fetal genomics. Following the transfer of the Diagnostics Business to QX, the Company’s other business line will consist of its over-the-counter business, including the InSync feminine hygienic interlabial pad, the Unique pad for hemorrhoid application, and other treated miniforms (the “OTC Business”), as well as established and continuing licensing relationships related to the OTC Business. Management believes the creation of QX permits the Company to more efficiently explore different options to maximize the value of the Diagnostics Business and the OTC Business (collectively, the “Businesses”), with the objective of maximizing the value of the Businesses for the benefit of the Company and its stakeholders.
The Company’s current focus is to develop a financing and operating plan to: (i) leverage its broad-based intellectual property (IP) and patent portfolio to develop new and innovative diagnostic products; (ii) commercialize its OTC Business and its Diagnostics Business either directly or through joint ventures, mergers or similar transactions intended to capitalize on commercial opportunities presented by each of the Businesses; (iii) contract manufacturing to third parties while maintaining control over the manufacturing process; and (iv) maximize the value of the Company’s investments in non-core assets, including GUSA. As a result of its current financial condition, however, the Company’s efforts in the short-term will be focused on obtaining financing necessary to maintain the Company as a going concern.
The following discussion of our financial condition should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on April 15, 2013.
Recent Developments
Settlement of GUSA Note Receivable and Litigation. On May 24, 2013, the Company and Genomics USA, Inc. ("GUSA") settled the Company’s complaint filed against GUSA seeking to recover all amounts due the Company under the terms of a promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 (the "GUSA Note"). The Complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and sought repayment of all amounts due under the terms of the GUSA Note, and accrued interest thereon, plus attorney's fees. The settlement agreement entered into by the parties provides for the payment to the Company of $200,000, of which $20,000 was paid on June 7, 2013, and $10,000 per month on the 7th day of each consecutive month thereafter for a total of 18 months.
Issuance of Additional Promissory Notes. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued two additional promissory notes to two investors in the principal amounts of $2,000, and $25,000 (together, the “Notes”). As additional consideration for the purchase of the Notes, the Company issued an aggregate total of 27,000 warrants to purchase shares of FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (“FPMI”) common stock, for $1.00 per share (“FPMI Warrants”), to the investors. The FPMI Warrants expire on February 15, 2019.
The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 6% annually. The Notes were due and payable on June 30, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), and are currently payable upon demand by the note holders. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.10 per share. In addition, the holder may exchange the Notes for common stock in the event the Company consummates a qualified financing (the “Qualified Financing”), which is defined in the Notes as a financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $500,000. While the Company intends to pay the Notes using proceeds from a Qualified Financing, such Qualified Financing may not occur prior to the date the holder of the Notes demands repayment.
The Company presently intends to issue additional Promissory Notes to finance its current working capital needs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to issue additional Promissory Notes.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $965 and $2,304, respectively. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4,306 and $6,819, respectively. The fluctuations in revenue in the 2013 period compared to the same period in 2012 are due to fluctuations in royalty revenue.
Sales, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $53,990 and $51,462 respectively. Sales, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $70,912 and $70,142 respectively. The increase in sales, general and administrative expense is higher legal fees related to intellectual property incurred during the 2013 period.
Professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $32,944 and $121,965, respectively. Professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $61,045 and $239,868, respectively. Professional fees include the costs of legal, consulting and auditing services provided to us. The decrease in professional fees in the 2013 periods is directly related to decreased costs of consulting and professional services provided to the Company.
Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1,864 and $6,779, respectively. Research and development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $3,211 and $7,140, respectively. The decrease in research and development fees in the 2013 periods is directly attributable to the reduced research and development efforts due to suspension of operations at December 31, 2010.
Interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was $4,000 and $8,000, respectively, for each period. The interest income related to the Company’s investment has been deemed to be fully impaired, accordingly the Company has recorded a loss on impairment in the 2013 periods of $4,000 and $8,000, respectively.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was $13,437 and $4,642, respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was $31,963 and $9,006. The increase in interest expense in the 2013 period is related to a higher notes payable balance during the 2013 periods.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on notes payable of $0 and $2,407, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on notes payable was $33,626 and $99,485, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded non-cash other financing expenses related to the amortization of the debt discount related to the exchange of FPMI warrants on Notes payable of $22,961 and $27,753, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a gain on equity investment of $10,908 and $40,593, respectively, representing gains related to the exchange of FPMI warrants related to Notes payable of $10,908 and $27,753, during the three and six month periods, respectively. Also included as gain on equity investments during the six months ended June 30, 2013, is $13,200 related to the exchange of shares it owned in NuRx.
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $98,778 compared to net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $218,142. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $139,694 compared to net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $407,259. The decrease in net losses in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 compared to the comparable periods in 2012 is due to lower losses on dispositions in the 2012 period partially offset by higher professional fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,420, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $9,989 as of December 31, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s cash flows from financing activities totaled $64,000. The overall net decrease in cash of $7,569 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, is attributable to net cash used for operating activities offset by cash received from financing activities.
The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to meet its operating expenses. In addition, the Company will require additional funding to complete the development and launch of its products, or to otherwise capitalize on its PAD technology. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through issuances of equity and the proceeds of debt instruments. In the past, the Company has also provided for its cash needs by issuing common stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees.
Management believes that, given the current economic environment and the continuing need to strengthen our cash position, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are pursuing various funding options, including licensing opportunities and the sale of investment holdings, as well as a strategic transaction with our joint venture partner, to obtain additional funding to continue the development of our products and bring them to commercial markets. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts. Should we be unable to raise adequate financing or generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed.
The Company believes that the ability of the Company to recommence operations, and therefore continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to do any or all of the following:
●
|
obtain adequate sources of funding to pay operating expenses and fund long-term business operations;
|
|
●
|
enter into a licensing or other relationship that allows the Company to commercialize its products;
|
|
●
|
manage or control working capital requirements by reducing operating expenses; and
|
|
●
|
develop new and enhance existing relationships with product distributors and other points of distribution for the Company’s products.
|
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its short- or long-term plans as set forth above, or that such plans, if consummated, will enable the Company to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a fee is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable. Up-front engagement fees are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, although the fee is due and payable at the time the agreement is signed or upon annual renewal. Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in an agreement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreement when they represent the culmination of the earnings process.
The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured. Significant management judgment and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
The Company recognizes revenue from nonrefundable minimum royalty agreements from distributors or resellers upon delivery of product to the distributor or reseller, provided no significant obligations remain outstanding, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. Once minimum royalties have been received, additional royalties are recognized as revenue when earned based on the distributor’s contractual reporting obligations. The Company is able to recognize minimum royalty payments on an accrual basis, as they are specified in the contract. However, since the Company cannot forecast product sales by licensees, royalty payments that are based on product sales by the licensees are not determinable until the licensee has completed their computation of the royalties due and/or remitted their cash payment to us. Should information on licensee product sales become available so as to enable the Company to recognize royalty revenue on an accrual basis, materially different revenues and results of operations could occur.
Our strategy includes entering into collaborative agreements with strategic partners for the development, commercialization and distribution of our product candidates. Such collaboration agreements may have multiple deliverables. In arrangements with multiple deliverables where we have continuing performance obligations, contract, milestone and license fees are recognized as revenue together with any up-front payments over the term of the arrangement as performance obligations are completed, unless the deliverable has stand-alone value and there is objective, reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered element in the arrangement. In the case of an arrangement where it is determined there is a single unit of accounting, all cash flows from the arrangement are considered in the determination of all revenue to be recognized. Cash received in advance of revenue recognition is recorded as deferred revenue.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting policies discussed below are considered by management to be the most important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments due to the inherent uncertainty associated with these matters. All significant estimates and assumptions are developed based on the best information available to us at the time made and are regularly reviewed and adjusted when necessary. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. Additional information on significant accounting principles is provided in Note 3 of the attached financial statements.
Impairment of Assets
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, including our other intangible assets, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The determination of related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments, related primarily to the future profitability and/or future value of the assets. Changes in our strategic plan and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and could require adjustments to recorded asset balances. We hold investments in companies having operations or technologies in areas which are within or adjacent to our strategic focus when acquired, all of which are privately held and whose values are difficult to determine. We record an investment impairment charge if we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future changes in our strategic direction, adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.
In determining fair value of assets, the Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual fair value may differ from management estimates resulting in potential impairments causing material changes to certain assets and results of operations.
Share-Based Payments
We grant options to purchase our common stock to our employees and directors under our stock option plan. We estimate the value of stock option awards on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model (Black-Scholes model). The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, and risk-free interest rate. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
We determine the fair value of the share-based compensation awards granted to non-employees as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
Estimates of share-based compensation expenses are significant to our financial statements, but these expenses are based on option valuation models and will never result in the payment of cash by us.
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In most cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Deferred Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which requires management to perform estimates of future transactions and their respective valuations. We review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, a valuation allowance has been established. The likelihood of a material change in the valuation allowance depends on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. In the future, if management determines that the likelihood exists to utilize the Company’s deferred tax assets, a reduction of the valuation allowance could materially increase the Company’s net deferred tax asset.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer/ principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2013. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer/ principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer/ principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There has been no progress towards remediating our previously disclosed material weakness due to the lack of funding.
