2. Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (audited) and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim period March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or any future period. | |
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. To date the Company has not generated significant revenues from operations. The Company generated revenues of $214,660, incurred a net loss of $1,640,884, and used cash of $1,584,248 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $71,796,000. | |
During 2012, a significant source of debt and equity funding was provided by the Company’s largest shareholder, the Koski Family Limited Partnership (the “KFLP”). In addition, in 2013 and 2012 the Company raised $14,900,000 and $13,000,000 in gross proceeds respectively through the sale of its common stock. The Company expects to incur substantial expenditures to further develop each of its technologies. The Company believes the working capital at March 31, 2014 will be sufficient to meet the business objectives as presently structured through March 2015. | |
The Company’s ability to continue operations after its current cash resources are exhausted depends on its ability to obtain additional financing or achieve profitable operations, as to which no assurances can be given. Cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of changes in the Company’s focus and direction of its research and development programs, competitive and technical advances, or other developments. Additional financing will be required to continue operations after the Company exhausts its current cash resources and to continue its long-term plans for clinical trials and new product development. There can be no assurance that any such financing can be realized by the Company, or if realized, what the terms thereof may be, or that any amount that the Company is able to raise will be adequate to support the Company’s working capital requirements until it achieves profitable operations. | |
The Company intends to seek additional funding through sublicensing arrangements, joint venturing or partnering, sales of rights to technology, government grants and public or private financings. The Company’s future success depends on its ability to raise capital and ultimately generate revenue and attain profitability. The Company cannot be certain that additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to it or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company issues additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of its common stock, and the Company’s current shareholders may experience dilution. If the Company is unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to curtail their current development programs, cut operating costs and forego future development and other opportunities. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, we adopted these presentation requirements during this quarter. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures. | |
Other than disclosed, there are no new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first quarter of 2014 that have had or are expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal areas of estimation reflected in the financial statements are anticipated milestone payments, stock based compensation, valuation of warrants, income tax valuation allowance, inventory obsolescence reserve, sales returns and allowances and allowance for doubtful accounts. | |
Guaranteed Rights of Return | |
The Company has granted guaranteed rights of return to two dental distributor customer accounts. The Company defers recognition of revenue on these accounts until the customer provides notification to the Company that the product has been sold to the end consumer. Once notification has been received and verified, the Company records revenue in that accounting period. The Company had $50,400 and $18,839 of revenue deferred under guaranteed rights of return arrangements included in deferred revenue in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. | |
Inventory | |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor and overhead, is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. On a quarterly basis, we analyze our inventory levels and reserve for inventory that is expected to expire prior to being sold, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, inventory in excess of expected sales requirements, or inventory that fails to meet commercial sale specifications. Expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are written off to the reserve for inventory obsolescence. The inventory reserve at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $34,700 and $31,500, respectively. | |
Stock-Based Payment Arrangements | |
Generally, all forms of stock-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, and restricted stock grants are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date typically using a Black-Scholes pricing model. Stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at the fair value of the stock-based payment or the fair value of the service provided, whichever is more readily determinable. The expense resulting from stock-based payments is recorded in research and development expense or selling, general and administrative expense in the statement of operations, depending on the nature of the services provided. Stock-based payment expense is recorded over the requisite service period in which the grantee provides services to us. To the extent the stock option grants, warrants, or restricted stock grants do not vest at the grant date they are subject to forfeiture. | |
Stock-Based Compensation | |
GAAP requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values as of the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period in which the grantee provides services to us, to the extent the options do not vest at the grant date and are subject to forfeiture. For performance-based awards that do not include market-based conditions, we record share-based compensation expense only when the performance-based milestone is deemed probable of achievement. We utilize both quantitative and qualitative criteria to judge whether milestones are probable of achievement. For awards with market-based performance conditions, we recognize the grant-date fair value of the award over the derived service period regardless of whether the underlying performance condition is met. | |
Warrants | |
The Company used the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model in calculating the relative fair value of any warrants that have been issued. | |
Net Loss Per Share | |
During all periods presented, the Company had securities outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. Because the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented, shares associated with the stock options and warrants are not included because they are antidilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share amounts are the same for the periods presented. Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. | |
Revenue Recognition | |
We recognize revenues from the sales of product when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped. Grant revenues are recognized as the reimbursable expenses are incurred over the life of the related grant. Grant revenues are deferred when reimbursable expenses have not been incurred. | |
We record allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sales as a reduction of revenues as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience or known trends. Product returns are limited to specific mass retail customers for expiration of shelf life or unsold product over a period of time. We maintain a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a specified period of time prior to and subsequent to the expiration date of the product. Our estimate of the provision for returns is analyzed quarterly and is based upon many factors, including industry data of product return rates, historical experience of actual returns, analysis of the level of inventory in the distribution channel, if any, and reorder rates. If the history or our product returns changes, the reserve will be adjusted. While we believe that the reserves we have established are reasonable and appropriate based upon current facts and circumstances, applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances would result in the estimated amounts for sales returns and chargebacks to vary. Because our ProBiora3 products have only recently been introduced, we could experience different circumstances in the future and these differences could be material. | |
The Company has granted guaranteed rights of return at various times to certain customers. At this time there are two dental distributors with guaranteed rights of return. Orders are processed and shipped on these accounts however the Company defers recognition of revenue until the customer provides notification to the Company that the product has sold to the end consumer. Once notification has been received and verified, the Company will record revenue in that accounting period. | |
Concentrations | |
The Company is dependent on four key suppliers to provide probiotics, blending, warehousing and packaging of its EvoraPlus, EvoraPlus Kids, EvoraPro, and Teddy’s Pride products during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The majority of the Company’s cost of sales are from these key suppliers. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our accounts payable and accrued expenses for these vendors totaled $-0- and $146,284, respectively. | |
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash accounts in commercial banks, which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2014, the uninsured portion of this balance was $14,388,954. As of December 31, 2013, the uninsured portion of this balance was $16,026,510. |

The University of Florida Research Foundation Licenses | ||||
UFRF-MU1140 and Replacement Therapy Licenses. In the Company’s UFRF amended license agreements for SMaRT Replacement Therapy and MU1140, the Company is obligated to pay 5% of the selling price of any products developed from the UFRF licensed technologies that the Company may sell as royalty to the UFRF. In addition, if the Company sublicenses any rights granted by the amended license agreements, the Company is obligated to pay to the UFRF 22% of all revenues received from the sublicenses, excluding monies received solely for development costs. The Company is also obligated to make the following payments to UFRF as follows: a one-time commercialization fee, post-commercialization minimum royalty payments, and a one-time cumulative royalty payment. The one-time commercialization fee would be due on the first anniversary of first commercial sale and is calculated at $5,000 per month between (1) May 1, 2013 (for the SMaRT Replacement Therapy license agreement) and April 1, 2013 (for the MU1140 license agreement) and (2) the month of the first anniversary of a commercial sale. No commercial sales have occurred and as such no commercialization fess have been paid. The post-commercialization minimum royalty payments of $50,000 annually would be due following payment of a commercialization fee. The one-time additional royalty payment would be due when total cumulative royalties paid to UFRF exceed $2.0 million, upon which we would be obligated to make a one-time additional payment to UFRF of 10% of the total royalties due to UFRF in the calendar year in which cumulative royalties exceeded $2.0 million. | ||||
The Company is required to make minimum annual maintenance payments to the UFRF for the term of the amended license agreements in the amount of $10,000 for each license agreement and $20,000 in aggregate. The aggregate minimum annual payments are required to be paid in advance on a quarterly basis (i.e. $5,000 per quarter) for both licenses. The Company must also pay all patent costs and expenses incurred by the UFRF for the preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance and maintenance of the patents. | ||||
The terms of the UFRF amended license agreements expire upon the earlier of (i) the date that no patents covered by the amended license agreements remain enforceable or (ii) the payment of earned royalties under the amended license agreements, once begun, ceases for more than three calendar quarters. The Company may voluntarily terminate the license agreement upon 90 days written notice to UFRF. UFRF may terminate the amended license agreements if the Company breaches its obligations to timely pay any amounts due under the amended license agreements, to submit development reports as required under the amended license agreements or commit any other breach of any other covenants contained in the amended license agreements and the Company fails to remedy such breach within 90 days after written notice of such breach by UFRF. | ||||
After the effective date of termination of the SMaRT Replacement Therapy amended license agreement, the Company may sell all licensed products and complete licensed products in the process of manufacture at the time of such termination and sell the same, provided the Company makes the royalty payments described above and submit the reports required under the SMaRT Replacement Therapy amended license agreement. | ||||
Texas A&M License Agreement | ||||
Under the terms of the Texas A&M license agreement, the Company made an initial payment of five thousand dollars ($5,000) to Texas A&M. The Company must also pay to Texas A&M a royalty of five percent (5%) of net sales of products that include the licensed technology, subject to royalty stacking provisions with a two percent (2%) minimum royalty. Additionally, in order to maintain the exclusive license, commencing in 2014 and each year thereafter prior to the calendar year of the first sale of products using the licensed technology, the Company must pay Texas A&M $15,000 as minimum consideration for the continuation of the license agreement. Once the Company commences the sale of products that include the technology the Company licenses from Texas A&M the Company must pay a minimum annual amount of $100,000 to Texas A&M and every year thereafter through the expiration of the Agreement. However, once sales begin, any royalty payments the Company makes on net sales will be credited against the $100,000 required maintenance payment. | ||||
The Company must also pay all patent costs and expenses for the preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance and maintenance of the patent rights. Sales by sublicensees are subject to the royalty rate above, and the Company is responsible for certain payments to Texas A&M for any other consideration received that is not in the form of a royalty. | ||||
Pursuant to the Texas A&M license agreement, the Company is obligated to meet the following milestones and make milestone payments: (i) enrollment of first patient in a Phase I clinical trial using the licensed technology, to occur on or before June 1, 2015, with a milestone achievement payment of $50,000, (ii) completion of Phase II clinical trial using the licensed technology to occur on or before June 1, 2019, with a milestone achievement payment of $100,000, (iii) completion of Phase III clinical trial of the licensed technology to occur on or before June 1, 2022, with a milestone achievement payment of $150,000, and (iv) first sale of the licensed technology to occur on or before June 1, 2025 with a milestone achievement payment of $400,000. If we fail to accomplish the milestones or fail to achieve net sales of products including the licensed technology for two consecutive calendar years Texas A&M at its sole option may waive the requirement, negotiate the missed milestones or terminate the license agreement. None of the Texas A&M milestones had been achieved as of March 31, 2014. | ||||
The term of the Texas A&M license agreement expires upon (i) the expiration of the applicable patent rights covered by the license agreement, (ii) the failure of any patent filed pursuant to the license agreement to issue, or (iii) the final and unappealable determination by a court that the patent rights are invalid. The Company may voluntarily terminate the license agreement upon 90 days written notice to Texas A&M. Texas A&M can terminate the license agreement if the Company materially breaches the license agreement and does not cure such breach within 60 days of receiving notice of such breach from Texas A&M. | ||||
The Lantibiotic Exclusive Channel Collaboration (“ECC”) | ||||
Under the Lantibiotic ECC, and subject to certain exceptions, the Company is responsible for, among other things, funding the further anticipated development of lantibiotics toward the goal of commercialization, conducting preclinical and clinical development of candidate lantibiotics, as well as for other aspects of manufacturing and the commercialization of the product(s). Among other things, Intrexon is responsible for technology discovery efforts, cell-engineering development, certain aspects of the manufacturing process, and costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of Intrexon’s patents. | ||||
Subject to certain expense allocations and other offsets provided in the Lantibiotic ECC, the Company will pay Intrexon on a quarterly basis 25% of gross quarterly profits derived in that quarter from the sale of products developed from the Lantibiotic ECC, calculated on an Oragenics Product-by-Oragenics Product basis. The Company has likewise agreed to pay Intrexon on a quarterly basis 50% of revenue obtained in that quarter from a sublicensor in the event of a sublicensing arrangement. | ||||
In addition, in partial consideration for each party’s execution and delivery of the Lantibiotic ECC, the Company entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement with Intrexon. Pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement, the Company issued to Intrexon 4,392,425 shares of the Company’s common stock as an initial technology access fee, in consideration for the execution and delivery of the Lantibiotic ECC and granted Intrexon certain equity participation rights and registration rights. Under the Stock Issuance Agreement and as part of the Lantibiotic ECC, the Company has also agreed to make certain payments to Intrexon upon the Company’s achievement of designated milestones in the form of shares of Company common stock or, at the Company’s option, make a cash payment to Intrexon (based upon the fair market value of the shares otherwise required to be issued). The milestone events and amounts payable are as follows: | ||||
(i) | upon filing of the first Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of common stock comprising 1.0% of the Base Shares (as defined below); | |||
(ii) | upon the dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 2 clinical study with an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of common stock comprising 1.5% of the Base Shares; | |||
(iii) | upon the dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 3 clinical study with an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of common stock comprising 2% of the Base Shares; | |||
(iv) | upon the filing of the first New Drug Application (“NDA”) or Biologics License Application (“BLA”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for an Oragenics Product, or alternatively the filing of the first equivalent regulatory filing with a foreign regulatory agency, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 2.5% of the Base Shares; and | |||
(v) | upon the granting of the first regulatory approval of an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 3% of the Base Shares. | |||
Base Shares is defined in the Stock Issuance Agreement to mean (i) the number of shares of Company common stock together with any securities or instruments convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock issued and outstanding at the time of the applicable milestone event, (ii) minus any shares issuable upon conversion of Capital Inducement Securities. Capital Inducement Securities is defined in the Stock Issuance Agreement to mean warrants or other convertible securities of the Company issued to investors in connection with a debt or equity investment in the Company that are issued in addition to the primary investment securities and in an amount not to exceed 10% of the overall number of shares issued in the investment (on an as-converted to common stock basis) | ||||
None of the Lantibiotic ECC milestones had been achieved as of March 31, 2014. | ||||
Intrexon may terminate the Lantibiotic ECC if we fail to use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize Oragenics Products or if we elect not to pursue the development of a Lantibiotics Program identified by Intrexon that is a “Superior Therapy” as defined in the Lantibiotic ECC. We may voluntarily terminate the Lantibiotic ECC at any time upon 90 days written notice to Intrexon. | ||||
Upon termination of the Lantibiotic ECC, the Company may continue to develop and commercialize any Oragenics Product that has been, at the time of termination: | ||||
• | commercialized by the Company; | |||
• | approved by regulatory authorities; | |||
• | a subject of an application for regulatory approval that is pending before the applicable regulatory authority; or | |||
• | the subject of at least an ongoing Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial in the Field (in the case of a termination by Intrexon due to an uncured material breach by the Company or a voluntary termination by the Company). | |||
The Company’s obligation to pay 25% of gross profits or revenue and milestone payments described above with respect to these “retained” products as well as to use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize these “retained” Oragenics Products will survive termination of the Lantibiotic ECC. | ||||
The Probiotic ECC | ||||
Under the Probiotic ECC, and subject to certain exceptions, the Company is responsible for, among other things, funding the further anticipated development of probiotics toward the goal of commercialization, conducting preclinical and clinical development of candidate probiotics, as well as for other aspects of manufacturing and the commercialization of the product(s). Among other things, Intrexon is responsible for technology discovery efforts, cell-engineering development, certain aspects of the manufacturing process, and costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of Intrexon’s patents. | ||||
The Company will pay Intrexon 10% of the net sales derived from the sale of products developed from the exclusive channel collaboration relating to the Probiotics Program. The Company has likewise agreed to pay Intrexon a percentage of revenue obtained from a sublicensee in the event of a sublicensing arrangement. The percentage of the revenue to be paid will be determined at the time that a sublicense agreement is negotiated. | ||||
Under the SPIA and as part of the Probiotic ECC, the Company has also agreed to make certain payments to Intrexon upon the Company’s achievement of designated milestones. The milestone payments are each payable to Intrexon, at the Company’s election (subject to an election right of Intrexon if the milestone is achieved by a sublicensee), either in cash or in shares of Company common stock (using the fair market value of the shares to calculate the number of shares to be issued to Intrexon in lieu of cash). The Commercialization Milestone Events and amounts payable are as follows: | ||||
• | $2,000,000 within thirty (30) days of the dosing of a patient by or on behalf of the Company, or an Affiliate (as that term is defined in the Probiotic ECC) or permitted sublicensee of the Company, in a phase II clinical trial, whether such occurs in the United States of America under the jurisdiction of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or elsewhere under the jurisdiction of a foreign regulatory agency, for a Company Product; | |||
• | $5,000,000 within thirty (30) days of the first meeting of the primary endpoint by or on behalf of the Company, or an Affiliate or permitted sublicensee of the Company, in a phase III clinical trial, whether such occurs in the United States of America under the jurisdiction of the FDA or elsewhere under the jurisdiction of a foreign regulatory agency, for a Company Product; | |||
• | $10,000,000 within thirty (30) days of the first to occur of (a) the First Commercial Sale (as that term is defined in the Probiotic ECC) of a Company Product, or (b) the approval of a New Drug Application (as that term is defined in the Probiotic ECC) for a Company Product by the FDA or equivalent regulatory action in a foreign jurisdiction. | |||
None of the Probiotic ECC milestones had been achieved as of March 31, 2014. | ||||
The Company may voluntarily terminate the Probiotic ECC upon 90 days written notice to Intrexon. Intrexon may also terminate the Probiotic ECC if the Company breaches the Probiotic ECC and fails to cure the breach within 60 days or the Company does not pursue development of the Superior Therapy under the probiotics identified by Intrexon that is a “Superior Therapy” as defined in the Probiotic ECC. Upon termination of the Probiotic ECC, the Company may continue to develop and commercialize any Company Product that, at the time of termination, satisfies at least one of the following criteria: | ||||
• | commercialized by the Company; | |||
• | approved by regulatory authorities; | |||
• | a subject of an application for regulatory approval that is pending before the applicable regulatory authority; or | |||
• | the subject of at least an ongoing Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial in the field of the Probiotics Program. | |||
The Company’s obligation to pay 10% of net sales and the milestone payments described above with respect to these “retained” products as well as to use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize these “retained” Company Products will survive termination of the Probiotic ECC. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, we adopted these presentation requirements during this quarter. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures. | |
Other than disclosed, there are no new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first quarter of 2014 that have had or are expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal areas of estimation reflected in the financial statements are anticipated milestone payments, stock based compensation, valuation of warrants, income tax valuation allowance, inventory obsolescence reserve, sales returns and allowances and allowance for doubtful accounts. | |
Guaranteed Rights of Return | ' |
Guaranteed Rights of Return | |
The Company has granted guaranteed rights of return to two dental distributor customer accounts. The Company defers recognition of revenue on these accounts until the customer provides notification to the Company that the product has been sold to the end consumer. Once notification has been received and verified, the Company records revenue in that accounting period. The Company had $50,400 and $18,839 of revenue deferred under guaranteed rights of return arrangements included in deferred revenue in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. | |
Inventory | ' |
Inventory | |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor and overhead, is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. On a quarterly basis, we analyze our inventory levels and reserve for inventory that is expected to expire prior to being sold, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, inventory in excess of expected sales requirements, or inventory that fails to meet commercial sale specifications. Expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are written off to the reserve for inventory obsolescence. The inventory reserve at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $34,700 and $31,500, respectively. | |
Stock-Based Payment Arrangements | ' |
Stock-Based Payment Arrangements | |
Generally, all forms of stock-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, and restricted stock grants are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date typically using a Black-Scholes pricing model. Stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at the fair value of the stock-based payment or the fair value of the service provided, whichever is more readily determinable. The expense resulting from stock-based payments is recorded in research and development expense or selling, general and administrative expense in the statement of operations, depending on the nature of the services provided. Stock-based payment expense is recorded over the requisite service period in which the grantee provides services to us. To the extent the stock option grants, warrants, or restricted stock grants do not vest at the grant date they are subject to forfeiture. | |
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation | |
GAAP requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values as of the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period in which the grantee provides services to us, to the extent the options do not vest at the grant date and are subject to forfeiture. For performance-based awards that do not include market-based conditions, we record share-based compensation expense only when the performance-based milestone is deemed probable of achievement. We utilize both quantitative and qualitative criteria to judge whether milestones are probable of achievement. For awards with market-based performance conditions, we recognize the grant-date fair value of the award over the derived service period regardless of whether the underlying performance condition is met. | |
Net Loss Per Share | ' |
Net Loss Per Share | |
During all periods presented, the Company had securities outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. Because the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented, shares associated with the stock options and warrants are not included because they are antidilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share amounts are the same for the periods presented. Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. | |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition | |
We recognize revenues from the sales of product when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped. Grant revenues are recognized as the reimbursable expenses are incurred over the life of the related grant. Grant revenues are deferred when reimbursable expenses have not been incurred. | |
We record allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sales as a reduction of revenues as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience or known trends. Product returns are limited to specific mass retail customers for expiration of shelf life or unsold product over a period of time. We maintain a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a specified period of time prior to and subsequent to the expiration date of the product. Our estimate of the provision for returns is analyzed quarterly and is based upon many factors, including industry data of product return rates, historical experience of actual returns, analysis of the level of inventory in the distribution channel, if any, and reorder rates. If the history or our product returns changes, the reserve will be adjusted. While we believe that the reserves we have established are reasonable and appropriate based upon current facts and circumstances, applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances would result in the estimated amounts for sales returns and chargebacks to vary. Because our ProBiora3 products have only recently been introduced, we could experience different circumstances in the future and these differences could be material. | |
The Company has granted guaranteed rights of return at various times to certain customers. At this time there are two dental distributors with guaranteed rights of return. Orders are processed and shipped on these accounts however the Company defers recognition of revenue until the customer provides notification to the Company that the product has sold to the end consumer. Once notification has been received and verified, the Company will record revenue in that accounting period. | |
Concentrations | ' |
Concentrations | |
The Company is dependent on four key suppliers to provide probiotics, blending, warehousing and packaging of its EvoraPlus, EvoraPlus Kids, EvoraPro, and Teddy’s Pride products during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The majority of the Company’s cost of sales are from these key suppliers. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our accounts payable and accrued expenses for these vendors totaled $-0- and $146,284, respectively. | |
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash accounts in commercial banks, which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2014, the uninsured portion of this balance was $14,388,954. As of December 31, 2013, the uninsured portion of this balance was $16,026,510. | |
