NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those regarding the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of CBL and option and warrant transactions. |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, including those of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Celtic Iowa. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Celtic Iowa acquired 95% of the outstanding shares of CBL. Accordingly, the Company has consolidated CBL and its wholly-owned subsidiary Celtic Biotech, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
|
Loss per Common Share |
|
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and warrants or the assumed conversion of convertible debt instruments, using the treasury stock and “if converted” method. For periods in which net losses are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect. |
|
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the dilutive effect of 5,200 and 0 options and 1,833,338 and 228,543 warrants, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company had $9,849 and $19,102 cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. |
|
The Company maintains cash in escrow accounts which are restricted from immediate and general use by the Company. $53,410 of the funds are restricted as part of the Company’s convertible notes payable (see Note 7). The remaining restricted cash amount of $125,625 is restricted subject to the Company issuing shares of its common stock to an investor. |
|
Concentrations of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits placed with financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had $0 cash balances that were uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. |
|
Foreign exchange and currency translation |
|
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company maintained cash accounts in Canadian and U.S. dollars as well as European Union euros, and incurred certain expenses denominated in Canadian dollars and European Union euros. The Company's functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the end of each period. Exchange gains or losses on transactions are included in earnings. Adjustments resulting from the translation process are reported in a separate component of other comprehensive income and are not included in the determination of the results of operations. For all periods presented, any exchange gains or losses or translation adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions were immaterial. |
|
In-Process Research and Development |
|
In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) represents the estimated fair value assigned to research and development projects acquired in a purchased business combination that have not been completed at the date of acquisition and which have no alternative future use. IPR&D assets acquired in a business combination are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets. These assets remain indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the periods prior to completion or abandonment, those acquired indefinite-lived assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired IPR&D assets in its acquisition of CBL. The fair value of the assets were $1,476,956. |
|
Inventories |
|
Inventories are valued at the cost of acquisition, cost of production, and (or) deemed market value and are subsequently subject to lower of cost or market accounting on a nonrecurring basis. The cost of acquisition includes any costs directly attributable to the acquired inventory. Costs of physical production includes an allocation of raw materials, labor, and overhead allocated based on the estimated hours required to produce finished goods available for sale. Periodically management reviews the existing finished inventory and determines if any impairment (write down) is required. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s inventory consisted of raw material in the form of snake venom with a fair value of $20,375 and finished drug products with a fair value of $125,000. |
|
Equipment |
|
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years. |
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles |
|
The Company performs impairment tests on its long-lived assets when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If required, recoverability is tested by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value is not recoverable, the asset or asset group is written down to fair value. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no impairment to the Company’s long-lived assets has been identified. |
Deferred Financing Costs |
|
We have incurred debt origination costs in connection with the issuance of short-term convertible debt. These costs are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related convertible debt. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock and stock options based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company determines the fair value of shares of non-vested stock (also commonly referred to as restricted stock) based on the last quoted price of our stock on the date of the share grant. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the Company reduces the expense for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates, if historical forfeiture rates are available. Previously recognized compensation costs may be adjusted to reflect the actual forfeiture rate for the entire award at the end of the vesting period. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company’s results of operations through December 16, 2013 were as a limited liability company. A limited liability company (“LLC”) is not a taxpaying entity. Any income or operating loss arising from the activities of the partnership is reported, after appropriate adjustments, on the personal income tax returns of the members. Adjustments to the income or loss allocated to a particular member will be required when the tax basis and accounting basis of net contributions made by an individual member are not equal. Because the LLC is not a taxpaying entity, its financial statements are different from those of taxpaying entities. Specifically, on the statement of operations there is no provision for federal income tax benefit that must be accrued relating to the LLC’s net taxable loss during the year. In addition, the balance sheet does not present any assets or liabilities for deferred income taxes that might arise from different methods used to measure net income for the statement of operations and taxable income for the members. The Company will be filing as a C Corporation for the last 15 days of the year ended December 31, 2013. As a result, the Company may have a de minimis future deferred tax benefit which has not been recorded. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which clarifies fair value as an exit price, establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework for measuring fair value, and requires extended disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. |
|
As defined in ASC 820, fair value, clarified as an exit price, represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a result, fair value is a market-based approach that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. |
|
As a basis for considering these assumptions, ASC 820 defines a three-tier value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. |
|
| Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
|
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. |
|
Subsequent Events |
|
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date when financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-10 “Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. ASU 2014-10 eliminates all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities by removing ASC Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”, from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The ASU 2014-10 clarified that the guidance in Topic 275 “Risks and Uncertainties” is applicable to entities that have not yet commenced operations. Accordingly, upon adopting the ASU 2014-10 and eliminating development stage information, entities should re-evaluate their disclosures under Topic 275. The Company decided to early adopt this pronouncement in the second quarter of 2014. As a result, cumulative information in the Company’s statements of operations, its statements of cash flows and the notes to its unaudited consolidated financial statements was removed. |
