(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

 

(a) Description of Business, Development Stage Activities

 

ProUroCare Medical Inc. (“ProUroCare,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is engaged in the business of developing for market innovative products for the detection and characterization of male urological prostate disease. The primary focus of the Company is currently the prostate imaging device, known as the ProUroScanTM System, which is designed to produce an image of the prostate as an adjunctive aid in visualizing and documenting abnormalities of the prostate that have been detected by digital rectal examination. The Company’s developmental activities, conducted by its wholly owned operating subsidiary, ProUroCare Inc. (“PUC”) in conjunction with its development partner, Artann Laboratories, Inc. (“Artann”), have included the acquisition of several technology licenses, the purchase of intellectual property, the development of a strategic business plan and a senior management team, product development and fund raising activities. In April 2012, the ProUroScan System received initial clearance for marketing in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Company is currently in the process of raising additional financing required to complete and obtain FDA approval of a reusable probe for the ProUroScan and move to commercialization.

 

(b) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any other period. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company, and notes thereto, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PUC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.

 

(c) Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive. Antidilutive common equivalent shares issuable based on future exercise of stock options or warrants could potentially dilute basic loss per common share in subsequent years. All options and warrants outstanding were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the period from August 17, 1999 (Inception) to March 31, 2013 due to the Company’s net losses. 9,480,383 and 10,436,577 shares of common stock issuable under stock options, warrants, and convertible debt were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share for each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

(d) Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s policy is to grant stock options at fair value at the date of grant and to record stock-based employee compensation expense at fair value. The Company recognizes the expense related to the fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

 

From time to time, the Company issues options and warrants to non-employees (typically consultants). It is the Company’s policy to grant warrants at or above the fair market value at the date of grant, determined to be the average of the last closing price of the stock over the previous 10-trading days. The fair value of options or warrants issued to non-employees is measured on the earlier of the date the performance is complete or the date the consultant is committed to perform. In the event that the measurement date occurs after an interim reporting date, the options are measured at their then-current fair value at each interim reporting date. The fair value of options so determined is expensed on a straight-line basis over the associated performance period.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee and consultant stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

 

(e) Stock-Based Loan Consideration

 

The Company issues stock and warrants to various lenders and loan guarantors in consideration for their making or guaranteeing certain loans to the Company. The Company values the stock and warrants at fair value at the date of grant, and records the value as debt issuance cost. The debt issuance cost is amortized as either debt extinguishment expense or interest expense, depending on the specific terms of loan amendments.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of warrants, in the same manner as it values stock option (see Note 1(d) above. For the same reasons, the existing model may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock warrants.

 

(f) Restricted Cash

 

The Company has received a cash payment for a subscription to a private debt offering. However, under the terms of the debt offering, the funds cannot be used by the Company until a closing on the minimum amount of the offering is held, so the cash is restricted and will be returned to the subscriber if a closing is not completed.

 

(g) Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and our requirement for additional working capital to support future operations, raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2013 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $39,413,458. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
