Notes to Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In our opinion, the information presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of interim results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IntelliCell and those of Tech Stem Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (collectively the “Company”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Management's Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Management’s Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management’s estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods they are determined to be necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of financial instruments is made as of a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the degree of subjectivity that is necessary to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. GAAP establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Share Based Expenses

Share Based Expenses

GAAP, prescribes that accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payment awards to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if:

a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance, or

b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.

With respect to stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants GAAP requires that the amount of share-based payment transactions be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable:

a) the goods or services received or

b) the equity instruments issued.

The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company licenses independent third parties to use the Company’s technology in order to enable them to establish tissue processing centers in major metropolitan markets, as well as establishing centers it will operate. Each center will utilize the Company’s proprietary technology in conjunction with a suite of laboratory equipment selected by the Company that will enable the lab to process adipose tissue into stromal vascular fraction containing adipose stem cells using the Company’s technology and protocols. In certain centers, the Company will maintain ownership of the laboratory equipment and in other cases the laboratory equipment will be sold to an independent party. These license fees are payable upon signing of a license agreement and are recognized as revenue ratably over the license.

The Company has also entered into agreements with independent sales representative organizations to market the centers services to physicians in the geographic area. Fees for tissue processing cases from such physicians will be collected by the Company and recognized upon performance of the laboratory analysis. Sales of equipment by Tech Stem are recognized when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured.

Concentrations

Concentrations

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. This potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk; however the Company believes the risk is negligible. The Company’s carrying amount of deposits in financial institutions did not exceed federally insured limits as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history and its prospects are subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development and commercialization, especially those companies in rapidly evolving and technologically advanced industries such as the biotech / medical device field. The future viability of the Company largely depends on its ability to complete development of new products and processes and maintain and/or receive regulatory approval for those products and processes. No assurance can be given that the Company’s new processes and products will be successfully developed, regulatory approvals will be maintained or granted, or acceptance of these processes and products by the medical and patient communities will be achieved.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to customers without requiring collateral. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s evaluations of the collectability of accounts receivable. Management’s evaluation is based on the Company’s historical collection experience and a review of past-due amounts. Based on management’s evaluation of collectability, the Company did not require an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company determines accounts receivable to be delinquent when collection is past due under the agreed upon terms. Accounts receivable are written off when it is determined that amounts are uncollectible.

Equipment

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed for financial reporting purposes utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset or, for leasehold improvements, the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses include supplies, salaries, benefits, and other headcount related costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract and other outside service and facilities and overhead costs. The Company expenses the costs associated with research and development activities when incurred.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. The liability method requires recognition of future tax benefits, measured by enacted rates, attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities to the extent that realization of such benefits is “more likely than not.” The Company’s temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting relate primarily to receivable reserves, depreciation expense, and operating loss carry forwards. This standard also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination.

Net Loss per Share

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased by potentially dilutive common shares ("dilutive securities") that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities include stock options and warrants granted and convertible debt. The Company’s loss attributable to common stockholders, along with the dilutive effect of potentially issuable common stock due to outstanding options warrants and convertible securities cause the normal computation of diluted loss per share to be smaller than the basic loss per share; thereby yielding a result that is counterintuitive. Consequently, the diluted loss per share amount presented does not differ from basic loss per share due to this “anti-dilutive” effect.
