SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

On March 15, 2010 the Company changed its name to Inergetics, Inc. Inergetics, Inc. (the Company or "Inergetics"), formerly Millennium Biotechnologies Group, Inc., is a holding company for its subsidiary Millennium Biotechnologies, Inc. ("Millennium").

  

Millennium was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 9, 2000 and is located in New Jersey.  Millennium is a research based bio-nutraceutical corporation involved in the field of nutritional science.  Millennium’s principal source of revenue is from sales of its nutraceutical supplements, Resurgex Select® and Resurgex Essential™ and Resurgex Essential Plus™ which serve as a nutritional support for immuno-compromised individuals undergoing medical treatment for chronic debilitating diseases. Millennium also sells Surgex, a sports nutritional supplement.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inergetics, Inc. and its subsidiary. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2010 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

 

In January 2011 The Board of Directors approved a reverse split of 1 for 80. The financial statements have retroactively restated common shares to the earliest presentation reported along with the earnings per share calculation. The reverse split was approved by FINRA and was effective July 15, 2011.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s operations presently consist almost exclusively of the operations of Millennium.  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States 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 as of 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.

  

Patents

 

Patents are capitalized and amortized over 240 months. Amortization expense was $432 and $144 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations and collection is reasonably assured as the majority of sales are paid for prior to shipping.

 

Equity Based Awards

 

Equity based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant) for stock options and based on the terms of the agreement for warrants. Compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model at the grant date. The Company did not issue any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period ended September 30, 2011. The Company issued 5,344,356 warrants during the period ended September 30, 2011 for a total compensation expense of $908,540.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, therefore the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were the same.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying values approximate the fair value because of the nature of these accounts and their short-term maturities.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
