(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2012, the Company's cash balances did not exceed the FDIC limits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, title has passed (generally upon shipment) or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from product sales to new customers is recognized when all elements of the sale have been delivered. All costs related to product shipment are recognized at time of shipment. The Company does not provide for rights of return to customers on product sales and therefore does not record a provision for returns.

Revenue from grant awards is recorded as income when the funds from the respective grant are received and all conditions under the grant have been met.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. The Company’s computer software is being depreciated over two years. Depreciation expense charged to operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $375 and $0, respectively. Depreciation expense charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $375 and $0, respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." ASC Topic 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no long-lived assets.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 730-10 "Research and Development." Under ASC Topic 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expenses as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $34, 214and $49,250, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $65,129 and $76,815, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When it is considered to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company has elected to revoke it S election status, and will be a taxable entity going forward. Previously, the Company’ shareholders  elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as an S corporation. Generally, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income.  

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 505-50. This standard defines a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation.  In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. Stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2012 included the issuance of 1,428 shares of common stock for services rendered by the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer valued at $1,500 and charged to expense as research and development. In the first quarter of 2012, 15,000 shares of common stock were issued to the Company’s Chief Medical Officer pursuant to his service agreement. The 15,000 common shares were valued at $3,000 and are to be amortized over the 12 month period. $750 was expensed as R&D during the second quarter of this year.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued to its chief scientific officer 2,750 shares of common shares as partial compensation pursuant to his employment agreement, which were valued at $550 and charged to expenses as research and development.

The Company adopted its 2010 Stock Option Plan in May of 2010 allowing for a maximum of five million shares to be issued. At June 30, 2012, five thousand options have been granted with an exercise price of $1.05.

We have previously placed a value for our private share placements at $0.20 per share. On January 19, 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission granted our registration statement as filed on Form S-1. The pricing in this offering is $1.05. Any equity based transactions occurring subsequent to January 19, 2012 will be priced at $1.05 until such time as a market develops for our shares, if one develops at all.

Per Share Amounts

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10 "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not have equity or financial instruments issued or granted which would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has issued 5,000 stock options which, if exercised, would be dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change.
