NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations

BioDrain 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 September 30, 2014, the Company has raised approximately $9,248,000 in equity, inclusive of $2,055,000 from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and $5,518,000 in debt financing. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Recent Accounting Developments

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and created a new topic in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 606. The new standard provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework for all entities and supersedes nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and also requires enhanced disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 for the reporting period ended September 30, 2014.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” providing explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our financial statements.

We reviewed all other 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. Advertising expenses were $4,201 and $11,994 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and there were no advertising expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses were $72,294 and $321,929 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $73,621 and $207,162 for September 30, 2013.

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:


	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Finished goods	$	69,331	$	56,818
Raw materials		207,928		18,603
Work-In-Process		38,361		46,754
Total	$	315,620	$	122,175

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful asset life by classification is as follows:


	Years
Computers and office equipment		3 – 7
Leasehold improvements		5
Manufacturing tooling		3 – 7
Demo Equipment		3

The Company’s investment in Fixed Assets consists of the following:


	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Computers and office equipment	$	126,234	$	61,505
Leasehold improvements		23,874		23,614
Manufacturing tooling		97,288		89,900
Demo Equipment		30,577		—
Total		277,973		175,019
Less: Accumulated depreciation		61,027		16,909
Total Fixed Assets, Net	$	216,946	$	158,110

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 Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) allows an applicant to file a single patent application to seek patent protection for an invention simultaneously in each of the 148 countries of the PCT, including the United States. By filing this single “international” patent application through the PCT, it is easier and more cost effective than filing separate applications directly with each national or regional patent office in which patent protection is desired.

Our PCT patent application is for the new model of the surgical fluid waste management system. We obtained a favorable International Search Report from the PCT searching authority indicating that the claims in our PCT application are patentable (i.e., novel and non-obvious) over the cited prior art. A feature claimed in the PCT application is the ability to maintain continuous suction to the surgical field while 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 suction is not interrupted during a surgical operation, for example, to empty a fluid collection container or otherwise dispose of the collected fluid.

The Company holds the following granted patents in the United States and a pending application in the United States on its earlier models: US7469727, US8123731 and US Publication No. US20090216205 (collectively, the “Patents”). These Patents will begin to expire on August 8, 2023.

Subsequent Events

The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment effecting a 1:75 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective under Delaware law as of October 24, 2014. At the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Reverse Stock Split, the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company was combined on a 1-for-75 basis such that every seventy-five shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was combined into one share of Common Stock. This share combination was effected through the exchange and replacement of certificates representing issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time, together with immediate book-entry adjustments to the stock register of the Company maintained in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the event that the share combination would have resulted in a shareholder being entitled to receive less than a full share of Common Stock, the fractional share that would so result was rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The par value of each share of issued and outstanding Common Stock was not affected by the share combination.

For purposes of trading of the common stock, the Reverse Stock Split was approved, by FINRA and became effective as of market open on October 28, 2014.

In the Condensed Financial Statement and Notes thereto, and elsewhere in this Report, all numbers of shares and per share amounts, as appropriate, have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

In September 2014 we filed a registration statement for the public offering of shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per share of the common stock. We have applied to list our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market effective upon the completion of the public offering.

Interim Financial Statements

The Company has prepared the unaudited interim financial statements and related unaudited financial information in the footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

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.

Patents and Intellectual Property

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 21,334 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 $19.50 per share of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $24.38 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.

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 $19.50, 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 $9.75 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 $19.50 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 66,585 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 82,459 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 16,867 shares. This reduction is reflected as outstanding on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.
