Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Helix BioMedix, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted for interim financial information in accordance with the SEC rules and regulations for quarterly reporting. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated and to ensure that the financial statements are not misleading. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, impairments of long-lived assets, and valuation of receivable allowances, inventories, deferred income tax assets, stock-based compensation and option to purchase interest in affiliated company. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 2012.
