SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical information and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, collectibility of accounts receivable, contingent liabilities, fair value of financial instruments, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, excess and obsolete inventory, deferred tax asset valuation and income taxes. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

  

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential of business failure.

 

Reclassifications

 

For comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.

 

Inventories

 

The Company’s skin and hair care inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company evaluates its inventory for excess quantities and obsolescence on a regular basis. To determine if the cost of the Company's inventory should be written down, current and anticipated demand, customer preferences and the age of the merchandise are considered. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company recorded charges of approximately $437,000 to operations as a result of excess and obsolete inventory related to the rebranding and repackaging of products. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company did not recognize any charges to operations associated with excess and obsolete inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of office furniture, computer equipment, laboratory equipment, purchased software, website development and improvements made to our leased offices and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the three or five year useful lives of the assets or the remaining term of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amortized cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 - Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the product has been ordered by the customer, the selling price is fixed or determinable, the product is shipped to the customer, title has transferred and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Concentration of Revenues

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we derived 17% and 9%, respectively, of our revenues from one customer. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we derived 48% and 19% of our revenues from two wholesale distributors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we derived 45% and 21% of our revenues from two wholesale distributors. Our distributors purchase products from us on a purchase order basis on standard terms. The distributors are under no obligation to continue to purchase our products. The loss of any of our major distributors, a material reduction in their purchases or the cancellation of product orders or unexpected returns of unsold products could significantly decrease our revenues and impede our future growth prospects. We do not have long-term purchase commitments with our distributors.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues include all of the costs to manufacture the Company’s products. For products manufactured in the Company’s own facilities, such costs include raw materials and supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For products manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such cost represents the amounts invoiced by the contractors.

 

Research and Development

 

Internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed. Research and development consists of consulting fees, direct labor and raw materials associated with the development of new products to be commercialized by our Company. Research and development expenses totaled approximately $104,000 and $136,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Research and development expenses totaled approximately $74,000 and $98,000 for the three months ended Septembers 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Our Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $533,000 and $177,000 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Bad debt expense totaled approximately $356,000 and $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, we have approximately $328,000 outstanding in gross accounts receivable from one customer. This balance represents 60.0% of gross accounts receivable and has been fully reserved as a doubtful account as of September 30, 2016.

 

Convertible Financial Instruments

 

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

 

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

 

Debt Discounts - Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the earlier of the term of the related debt or their earliest date of redemption.

 

Loss on Issuance - The conversion features of the notes were bifurcated from the host instrument as its conversion terms were not indexed to the Company’s own stock. In addition, the warrants associated with the debt instruments were also treated as a free standing derivative liability. The total fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants exceeded the net proceeds received and resulted in a loss on issuance of $1.2 million.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Derivative Financial Instruments - Common stock purchase warrants and other derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.

 

Beneficial conversion feature – The issuance of the convertible debt generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital).

 

Share Based Payments

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity-based payments in accordance with ASC 718 - Share-based payments. Under ASC 718’s fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.

  

Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the fair values of the related payments. Such expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments granted to non-employees in accordance with ASC 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.

 

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net loss per share on the face of the statements of operations. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potential dilutive common shares, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock warrants or the conversion of preferred stock into common stock.

 

Common stock equivalents totaling, 18,217,825 and 4,767,720 as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on the condensed consolidated statements of operations because the Company reported a net loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and therefore the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

 

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-01 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purpose of ASU No. 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendment is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-09 on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (“ASU No. 2016-10”). The new guidance is an update to ASC No. 606 and provides clarity on identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. For public companies, ASU No. 2016-10 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect ASU No. 2016-10 to have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
