NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

Sangui Biotech International, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Colorado in 1995. Since 2003 when a comprehensive restructuring of the group was completed, all operations have been carried out by Sangui BioTech GmbH, its ninety percent owned subsidiary which is headquartered in Witten, Germany, while Sangui Biotech International, Inc., the parent company acts as a holding company whose purpose it is to secure financing and access to the capital markets.

 

SanguiBioTech GmbH is engaged in the development of technologies aimed at improved supply of oxygen to the human body, to wit wound management products, in particular a wound spray based on natural hemoglobin, wound dressings based on Chitosan, cosmetics and artificial oxygen carriers (external applications of hemoglobin, blood substitutes and blood additives). The cosmetics products are currently being sold via an own internet shop, yielding small revenues. Otherwise, the Company does not produce nor market its products. It has adopted the strategy to license its technologies to industry partners. In the pursuit of this strategy, the Company established a joint venture company in December 2010 for the purposes of marketing and selling the wound spray product in Germany and preparing its market entry in several other European countries as well as in Mexico. As consideration for the license, the Company is paid royalties on all sales of this product and is entitled to a 25% share of all future profits of the joint venture.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company incurred a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $3,491,679 and used cash in operating activities of $722,930 for the year ended June 30, 2012. These and other conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to continue to incur significant capital expenses in pursuing its business plan to market its products and expand its product line, while obtaining additional financing through stock offerings or other feasible financing alternatives. In order for the Company to continue its operations at its existing levels, the Company will require significant additional funds over the next twelve months. Therefore, the Company is dependent on funds raised through equity or debt offerings.

 

Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. If these funds are not available the Company may not be able to execute its business plan or take advantage of business opportunities. The ability of the Company to obtain such additional financing and to achieve its operating goals is uncertain. In the event that the Company does not obtain additional capital or is not able to increase cash flow through the increase of sales, there is a substantial doubt of its being able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sangui BioTech International, Inc. and its ninety percent owned foreign subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting period. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, the realization of receivables, inventories, long-lived assets, and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company's line of future pharmaceutical and cosmetic products (artificial oxygen carriers or blood substitute and additives) as well as other medical products being developed by Sangui GmbH, are deemed as medical devices or biologics, and as such are governed by the Federal Food and Drug and Cosmetics Act and by the regulations of state agencies and various foreign government agencies. The pharmaceutical products, under development in Germany, will be subject to more stringent regulatory requirements, because they are in vivo products for humans. The Company and its subsidiaries have no experience in obtaining regulatory clearance on these types of products. Therefore, the Company will be subject to the risks of delays in obtaining or failing to obtain regulatory clearance.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair market value of the financial instruments could be different than that recorded on a historical basis. The Company's financial instruments consist of its cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial statements.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of the Company’s Sangui GmbH subsidiary is the local currency, the Euro. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect for the period. The resulting translation gains or losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit). For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized gains (losses) on translation adjustment in the amount of ($17,580) and $131,198, respectively. There were no gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

The exchange rates used to calculate values and results of operations for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:

 

 

As of

 

For the Years Ended

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in uninsured bank accounts in Germany. Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits for which the Company has no requirements for compensating balances. The Company has not experienced any losses in its uninsured bank accounts. The Company had no cash equivalents outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease terms. Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $692 and $1,227, respectively. Expenditures for normal maintenance and routine repairs are charged to expense, and significant improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition; any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

 

Treasury Stock

 

During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 53,756 shares of its common stock for cash. The treasury stock is valued using the Treasury Stock Method at $19,387.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used are reviewed by the management of the Company for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates, regularly, whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment and relies on a number of factors, including business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, management of the Company believes that no impairment has been indicated. There can be no assurances, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company's products will continue which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

 

Financial Statement Reclassifications

 

The Company has reclassified certain prior-year account balances in order to comply with current-period classifications and increase comparability.

 

Revenue Recognition/Accounts Receivable

 

The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its cosmetics products. The majority of the Company’s product sales are generated via online orders, with credit card payment. The Company recognizes revenues when: (i) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, (ii) the sales terms are fixed and determinable, (iii) title and risk of loss have transferred, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured — generally when products are shipped to the customer, except in situations in which title passes upon receipt of the products by the customer. In this case, revenues are recognized upon notification that customer receipt has occurred. The Company does not have customer acceptance provisions, but it does provide its customers a limited right of return. As warranted the Company accrues an estimated amount for sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on its ability to estimate sales returns and allowances using historical information. Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales. The related freight costs and supplies associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

The Company also derives royalty revenues from the licensing of its wound spray technology. The wound spray technology is licensed to an entity in which the Company holds a 25 percent equity interest. The Company is presently entitled to royalties on net sales of the wound spray product. The Company has agreed to defer the collection of the royalty until January 1, 2013 but has accrued the amount of $10,272 based upon net sales reported through June 30, 2012.

 

Sales Tax Collected from Customers

 

As a part of the Company’s normal course of business, sales taxes are collected from customers. Sales taxes collected are remitted, in a timely manner, to the appropriate governmental tax authority on behalf of the customer. The Company’s policy is to present revenue and costs, net of sales taxes.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as they are incurred. Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining and protecting patents are also expensed as incurred, due to the uncertainty with respect to future cash flows resulting from the patents. Research and development costs totaled $104,413 and $313,671 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company has a foreign subsidiary formed or acquired to conduct or support its business outside the United States. The Company provides for income taxes, net of applicable foreign tax credits, on temporary differences in its investment in foreign subsidiaries which are not considered to be permanently invested outside of the United States.

 

The Company adopted ASC 740 which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” criterion shall be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. ASC 740 applies to all tax positions accounted for under ASC 740. Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are recorded as a component of provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not recognize any such interest or penalties, nor were any interest fees or penalties accrued as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period of compensation. The computation of the diluted loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities that would affect the loss per share if they were to be included in the loss per share.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Total comprehensive loss represents the net change in stockholders' equity during a period from sources other than transactions with stockholders and as such, includes net loss. For the Company, the components of other comprehensive loss are the changes in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

 

The Company adopted ASC 280, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." ASC 280 establishes standards for the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their annual financial statements and requires them to report selected segment information in their quarterly reports issued to stockholders. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers, if any. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has one business segment, which is the manufacturing and sales of its wound treatment and cosmetics products.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Provisions to value the inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory, or the current estimated market value of the inventory, are based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. The Company also performs evaluations of inventory and records a provision or impairment for estimated excess and obsolete items based upon demand, and any other known factors at the time.  As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, inventory was comprised of the following components:

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are reflected at estimated net realizable value, do not bear interest nor do they generally require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a variety of factors. The Company reviews all open accounts and provides specific reserves for customer collection issues when it believes the loss is probable, considering such factors as the length of time receivables are past due, the financial condition of the customer, and historical experience. The Company also records a reserve for all customers, excluding those that have been specifically reserved for, based upon evaluation of historical losses, which exceeded the specific reserves the Company had established. For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized bad debt expense in the amounts of $203 and $-0-, respectively.

 

Fair Value Measures

 

The Company discloses fair value measures for financial assets and financial liabilities reported or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measures. The Company prospectively implemented the provisions of ASC 820 for financial assets and financial liabilities as of July 1, 2008 and elected to defer implementation of the provisions of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until July 1, 2009 as permitted. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company discloses fair value measures based on a hierarchy for categorizing inputs used to measure fair value, whereby Level 1 represents quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 represents significant other observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and Level 3 represents unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and requires the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

During the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the Company had no significant concentrations of sales or receivables from specific customers.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

On June 11, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned German subsidiary, Sangui Biotech GmbH (“GmbH”) issued 11,400 shares of its previously unissued common stock for cash proceeds of $1,140,759. These shares amount to 10 percent of the GmbH’s total outstanding common stock, which totaled 113,800 shares of as June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company accounts for these minority, or noncontrolling interests pursuant to ASC 810 whereby gains or losses in a subsidiary with a noncontrolling interest are allocated to the noncontrolling interest based on the ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest, even if that allocation results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.

 

Change in Method of Accounting for Investment in Joint Venture

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for its investment in a joint venture to the cost method of accounting, whereas in the prior year the joint venture investment was valued using the equity method. The new method of accounting for the joint venture was adopted due to the fact that the Company deemed that it did not have significant influence over the operations of the joint venture as defined by ASC 323 and comparative consolidated financial statements of prior years have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively. The change in accounting principle had no effect on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.
