NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations
 
Skyline Medical, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 2002. Effective August 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Skyline Medical Inc.  Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective December 16, 2013, the Company merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the same name that was its wholly-owned subsidiary, with such Delaware Corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. The Company has developed an environmentally safe system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care. The Company also makes ongoing sales of our proprietary cleaning fluid and filters to users of our systems. In April 2009, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to authorize the Company to market and sell its STREAMWAY FMS products.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a stockholders’ deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Since inception to December 31, 2013, the Company raised approximately $6,956,000 in equity and $3,935,000 in debt financing, including $2,337,000 in equity and $1,823,000 in convertible debt in 2013. In 2014, the Company has completed a private offering of units of preferred stock and warrants. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources”.
 
Recent Accounting Developments
 
We reviewed all significant newly issued accounting pronouncements and determined they are either not applicable to our business or that no material effect is expected on our financial position and results of our operations.
 
Valuation of Intangible Assets
 
We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350- Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management's best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made.
 
Our accounting estimates and assumptions bear various risks of change, including the length of the current economic downturn facing the United States, the expansion of the slowdown in consumer spending in the U.S. medical markets despite the early expressed opinions of financial experts that the medical market would not be as affected as other markets and failure to gain acceptance in the medical market.
 
Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The presentation 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Presentation of Taxes Collected from Customers
 
Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the taxes collected and remitted from revenues and expenses.
 
Shipping and Handling
 
Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of goods sold on the statement of operations.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There were no advertising expenses for 2013 and 2012.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Research and development costs were approximately $235,000 and $15,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605- Revenue Recognition.
 
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. The Company’s standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and the Company will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of the STREAMWAY FMS units as well as shipments of cleaning solution kits. When these conditions are satisfied, the Company recognizes gross product revenue, which is the price it charges generally to its customers for a particular product. Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer. The customer’s right of return is limited only to the Company’s standard one-year warranty whereby the Company replaces or repairs, at its option, and it would be rare that the STREAMWAY FMS unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution kits may be returned. Additionally, since the Company buys both the STREAMWAY FMS units and cleaning solution kits from “turnkey” suppliers, the Company would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.
 
Receivables
 
Receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation based on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts, changes to the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory balances are as follows:

Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of trademarks and patent costs. These assets are not subject to amortization until the property patented is in production. The assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and impairment losses, if any, are charged to operations when identified. The Company wrote-off the entire original STREAMWAY System patent of $140,588 in 2013.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740- Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
 
The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified no income tax uncertainties.
 
Tax years subsequent to 2010 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
 
Patents and Intellectual Property
 
On January 25th, 2014 the Company filed a non-provisional PCT Application No. PCT/US2014/013081 claiming priority from the U.S. Provisional Patent Application, number 61756763 which was filed one year earlier on January 25th, 2013.  The PCT makes it possible to seek patent protection for an invention simultaneously in each of 148 countries, including the United States, by filing this “international” patent application instead of filing several separate national or regional patent applications.
 
Our PCT patent application is for the new model of the surgical fluid waste management system that has embodiments, based on our patent attorney’s recommendations, that are patentable over all prior art and will not infringe on any existing patents. This PCT Application adds features that are novel and non-obvious over all the Company’s previously filed applications.  A feature claimed in the Patent is the ability to maintain continuous suction to the surgical field while simultaneously measuring, recording and evacuating fluid to the facilities sewer drainage system.  This provides for continuous operation of the STREAMWAY System unit in suctioning waste fluids, which means that the unit never has to be shut off or paused during a surgical operation, for example, to empty a fluid collection container or otherwise dispose of the collected fluid.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Sale of Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants.  In February 2014, we raised $2,055,000 less offering expenses from a private place of convertible preferred stock. As of February 4, 2014, Skyline Medical Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer and sell 20,550 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Preferred Shares”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of approximately 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”). The Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.26 per share of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.325 per share and expire five years from the closing date. The Company received gross proceeds of $2,055,000, before offering expenses. The closing of the sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) occurred as of February 4, 2014 (the “Closing”). If the Company’s Common Stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT within 180 days of the Closing, the Company shall issue additional Warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, equal to 30% of the shares of Common Stock which the Preferred Shares purchased by each Purchaser purchased are convertible.
 
The Securities Purchase Agreement requires the Company to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares (the “Underlying Shares”) and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). The Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days of the closing of the offering, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 105 days if there is no review by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and within 150 days in the event of such review.
 
The Securities were offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or state securities laws, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States without an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from applicable registration requirements. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities.
 
The Preferred Shares are convertible at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the stated value of the Preferred Shares being converted by the conversion price of $0.26, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar recapitalization events. If the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock, other than certain stock that is excluded under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, in one or more capital raising transactions with an aggregate purchase price of at least $100,000 for a price less than the then existing conversion price for the Preferred Shares (the “New Issuance Price”), then the then existing conversion price shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the New Issuance Price be less than $0.13 or reduced to a price level that would be in breach of the listing rules of any stock exchange or that would have material adverse effect on the Corporation’s ability to list its Common Stock on a stock exchange, including but not limited to the change of accounting treatment of the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Shares contain certain limitations on conversion so that the holder will not own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the applicable holder, with the percentage subject to increase in certain circumstances. The Preferred Shares are eligible to vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, but only to the extent that the Preferred Shares are eligible for conversion without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Preferred Shares are entitled to receive dividends on a pari passu basis with the Common Stock, when, and if declared. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after the satisfaction in full of the debts of the Company and the payment of any liquidation preference owed to the holders of shares of Common Stock ranking prior to the Preferred Shares upon liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall receive, prior and in preference to the holders of any junior securities, an amount equal to $2,055,000 times 1.2, plus all declared but unpaid dividends.
 
The Warrants are exercisable on any day on or after the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $0.26 per share, subject to adjustment, and a term of five years from the date they are first exercisable. However, a holder will be prohibited from exercising a Warrant if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates, would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as described above for the Preferred Shares. If any Warrant has not been fully exercised prior to the first anniversary of the Closing and if during such period the Company has not installed or received firm purchase orders (accepted by the Company) for at least 500 STREAMWAY ® Automated Surgical Fluid Disposal Systems, then, the number of Common Stock for which such Warrant may be exercised shall be increased 2.5 times.
 
Settlement with Group of Warrantholders. In September 2013, the Company received a request to issue 4,993,814 shares of its common stock to a group of partnerships and individuals in connection with the cashless exercise of stock purchase warrants covering a total of 6,184,412 shares.  In processing the exercise, the Company commenced an internal investigation regarding the warrants and withheld delivery of the certificates for a substantial majority of the shares, pending the outcome of the investigation.
 
After investigation, the Company disagreed with the group’s position that all of such shares should be delivered in connection with the exercise. Following negotiations, effective March 3, 2014, the Company and the group entered into a settlement agreement that resulted in, among other things, a net reduction of 1,264,988 shares. This reduction is reflected as outstanding on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.
