Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. and subsidiaries (“FPM” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation.  Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or for any other interim period. 

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has not generated any revenues from the development of its products and is therefore still considered to be a development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915 “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to research and development of commercially viable products that meet the standards of and are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, raising capital and attracting qualified advisors and personnel to further advance the Company’s goals. The Company has not commenced its planned principal operations, has not generated any revenues from operations and has no assurance of any future revenues. All losses accumulated since incorporation on June 13, 2003 have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities. On May 16, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among FPM, FluoroPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("FPI"), and FPI Merger Corporation, a newly formed, wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of FPM ("MergerCo”). Upon closing of the merger transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the "Merger"), on May 16, 2011, MergerCo merged with and into FPI, and FPI, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of FPM.

 

The acquisition will be accounted for as a reverse merger using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions whereby the financial statements subsequent to the date of the transaction are presented as a continuation of FPI.  Under reverse acquisition accounting FluoroPharma, Inc. (the legal subsidiary) will be treated as the accounting parent (acquirer) and FPM (the legal parent) will be treated as the accounting subsidiary (acquiree).  All outstanding shares have been restated to reflect the effect of the recapitalization, which includes a 3 for 2 issuance of FPM shares to FPI shareholders

 

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. FPM 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 six months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010 of $1,566,816 and $7,931, respectively.

 

A portion of the 2011 expense was the result of changes to the terms of previously granted options in the Merger. The number of shares increased (3 for 2) and the exercise prices decreased.

 

 

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.

 

The fair value of each share based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

 

    2011     2010  
    (Unaudited)     (Unaudited)  
Risk-free interest rate     3.90 %     2.43 %
Expected volatility     117 %     75% - 134.06 %
Dividend yield     0 %     0 %

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consisted of money market funds at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

Concentration of Risks

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice.

 

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, and convertible notes, if applicable, that are outstanding each year.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were the same for the three and six months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, as including common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have been antidilutive. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding options exercisable for 4,101,000 shares of its common stock and warrants exercisable for 3,934,780 shares of its common stock.  At June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding options exercisable for 4,474,500 shares of its common stock, and warrants exercisable for 609,417 shares of common stock, and notes payable and accrued interest convertible into 303,863 shares of common stock.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. All instruments are accounted for on the historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates the fair value at the reporting dates of these financial statements.

 

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets accessible at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the instrument are only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the instrument at the measurement date. Price or valuation techniques require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

 

Impairments

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including other intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” 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. The Company records an impairment charge if it believes an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary.

 

Management has determined that no impairments were required as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

There is no unrecognized tax benefit included in the consolidated balance sheet that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on its balance sheets at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the statement of operations for the six months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010.  See Note 10 - Income Taxes.

 

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of technology licenses and website development costs, and are carried at the legal cost to obtain them. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful life. Useful lives are as follows: technology licenses, five to 15 years; website development costs, three years.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company’s property and equipment at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of computer and office equipment and machinery and equipment with estimated useful lives of three to five years.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

 

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of intellectual property purchased from others that is immediately marketable or that has an alternative future use is capitalized and amortized as intangible assets. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset.

 

Segment Reporting

The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment currently, which is biopharmaceutical research and development.

 

Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include certain estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
