Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of TMP and its wholly owned subsidiary, CCPI (collectively referred to as “the Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, TMP and CCPI share the common operating facility, certain employees and various costs. Such expenses are principally paid by TMP. Due to the nature of the parent and subsidiary relationship, the individual financial position and operating results of TMP and CCPI may be different from those that would have been obtained if they were autonomous. |
Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates |
|
The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s critical accounting policies that involve significant judgment and estimates include revenue recognition, share based compensation, recoverability of intangibles, valuation of derivatives, and valuation of deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The recorded carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents. |
Considerations of Credit Risk | Considerations of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
|
TMP markets medical foods and generic pharmaceuticals through employed sales representatives, independent distributors, and pharmacies. Product sales are invoiced upon shipment at Average Wholesale Price (“AWP”), which is a commonly used term in the industry, with varying rapid pay discounts, under five models: Physician Direct Sales, Distributor Direct Sales, Physician Managed, Hybrid Models, and the Cambridge Medical Funding Group WC Receivable Purchase Assignment Model. |
|
Under the following revenue models, product sales are invoiced upon shipment. However, revenues are not recorded until collectability is reasonably assured, which the Company has determined is when the payment is received: |
|
Physician Direct Sales Model (3% of product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014): Under this model, a physician purchases products from TMP, but does not retain CCPI’s services. TMP invoices the physician upon shipment under terms which allow a significant rapid pay discount off AWP for payment within discount terms, in accordance with the product purchase agreement. The physicians dispense the product and perform their own claims processing and collections. TMP recognizes revenue under this model on the date of shipment at the gross invoice amount less the anticipated rapid pay discount offered in the product purchase agreement. In the event payment is not received within the term of the agreement, the amount due from the physician for the purchased TMP products reverts to the AWP. In addition, if payment is not received within the agreed-upon term, a late payment fee of up to 20% may be applied to the outstanding balance. The physician is responsible for payment directly to TMP. |
|
Distributor Direct Sales Model (16% of product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014): Under this model, a distributor purchases products from TMP, sells those products to a physician, and the physician does not retain CCPI’s services. TMP invoices distributors upon shipment under terms which include a significant discount off AWP. TMP recognizes revenue under this model on the date of shipment at the net invoice amount. In the event payment is not received within the term of the agreement, the amount payable for the purchased TMP products reverts to the AWP. In addition, if payment is not received within the agreed-upon term, a late payment fee of up to 20% may be applied to the outstanding balance. |
|
Physician Managed Model (38% of product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014): Under this model, a physician purchases products from TMP and retains CCPI’s services. TMP invoices the physician upon shipment under terms which allow a significant rapid pay discount for payment received within terms in accordance with the product purchase agreement, which includes a security interest for TMP in the products and receivables generated by the dispensing of the products. The physician also executes a billing and claims processing services agreement with CCPI for billing and collection services relating to our products (discussed below). CCPI submits a claim for reimbursement on behalf of the physician client. The CCPI fee and product invoice amount are deducted from the reimbursement received by CCPI on behalf of the physician client before the reimbursement is forwarded to the physician client. In the event the physician fails to pay the product invoice within the agreed term, we can deduct the payment due from any of the reimbursements received by us on behalf of the physician client as a result of the security interest we obtained in the products we sold to the physician client and the receivables generated by selling the products in accordance with our agreement. In the event payment is not received within the term of the agreement, the amount due from the physician for the purchased TMP products reverts to the AWP. In addition, if payment is not received within the agreed-upon term, a late payment fee of up to 20% may be applied to the outstanding balance. |
|
Hybrid Model (10% of product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014): Under this model, a distributor purchases products from TMP and sells those products to a physician and the physician retains CCPI’s services. TMP invoices distributors upon shipment under terms which allow a significant rapid pay discount for payment received within terms in accordance with the product purchase agreements. The physician client of the distributor executes a billing and claims processing services agreement with CCPI for billing and collection services (discussed below). The distributor product invoice and the CCPI fee are deducted from the reimbursement received by CCPI on behalf of the physician client before the reimbursement is forwarded to the distributor for further delivery to their physician clients. In the event payment is not received within the term of the agreement, the amount payable for the purchased TMP products reverts to the AWP. In addition, if payment is not received within the agreed-upon term, a late payment fee of up to 20% may be applied to the outstanding balance. |
|
Since we are in the early stage of our business, as a courtesy to our physician clients, our general practice has been to extend the rapid pay discount from our Physician Managed and Hybrid models beyond the initial term of the invoice until the invoice is paid and not to apply a late payment fee to the outstanding balance. |
|
Due to substantial uncertainties as to the timing and collectability of revenues derived from our Physician Managed and Hybrid models, which can take in excess of five years to collect, we have determined that these revenues do not meet the criteria for recognition, in accordance with The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), upon shipment. These revenues are recorded when collectability is reasonably assured, which the Company has determined is when the payment is received, which is upon collection of the claim. |
|
The Company has entered into an agreement with Cambridge Medical Funding Group, LLC (“CMFG”) related to California Workers’ Compensation (“WC”) benefit claims. Under this arrangement, we have determined that pursuant to FASB ASC Topic No. 860, Transfers of Financial Assets and ASC 605 we have met the criteria for revenue recognition on the date that payment is due from CMFG, which approximates the product shipment date. |
|
CMFG #1 – WC Receivable Purchase Assignment Model (“CMFG #1”) (33% of product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014): Under this model, physicians who purchase products from TMP under the Company’s Physician Managed Model will have the option to assign their accounts receivables (primarily those accounts receivables with dates of service starting with the year 2013) from California WC benefit claims to CMFG, at a discounted rate. Each agreement is executed among CMFG, TMP, and each individual physician, and serves as a master agreement for all assigned receivables by the physician to CMFG. Since these accounts receivable originated from the Company’s Physician Managed Model, CCPI’s services are also retained. The physician’s fees and financial obligations due to TMP, for the purchase of TMP product and use of CCPI’s services, are satisfied directly by CMFG, usually within seven (7) days of transmission of the accounts receivable to CMFG. CMFG has agreed to pay an amount equal to 20% of eligible assigned accounts receivable as an advance payment. CMFG makes this payment directly to TMP, on behalf of the physician. TMP applies this payment to the physician’s financial obligations due to CCPI for the physician’s use of the Company’s medical billing and claims processing services, and the physician’s financial obligation due to TMP for the cost of the product. The Company recognizes revenue on the date that payment is due from CMFG. Under CMFG #1, the Company only receives the 20% advance payment, where such payment is without recourse or future obligation for TMP to repay the 20% advanced amount back to CMFG or the physician. Actual amounts collected on the assigned accounts receivable are shared between CMFG and the physician, where the first 37% of amounts collected are disbursed to CMFG and additional amounts collected are shared at a ratio of 75:25, where 75% is disbursed to the physician and 25% is disbursed to CMFG. |
|
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company issued billings to Physician Managed and Hybrid model customers aggregating $3.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, which were not recognized as revenues or accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at the time of such billings. Direct costs associated with the above billings are expensed as incurred. Direct costs associated with all billings, aggregating $569,570 and $1,054,194, respectively, were expensed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at the time of such billings. In accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy, the Company recognized revenues from certain of these customers when cash was collected, aggregating $4,525,978 and $5,037,003 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $7.5 million in unrecorded accounts receivable that potentially will be recorded as revenue in the future as our CCPI subsidiary secures claims payments on behalf of our PMM and Hybrid Customers. All unpaid invoices underlying claims assigned to CMFG pursuant to CMFG #1 are excluded from unrecorded accounts receivable. |
|
CCPI receives no revenue in the Physician Direct or Distributor Direct models because it does not provide collection and billing services to these customers. In the Physician Managed and Hybrid models CCPI has a billing and claims processing service agreement with the physician. The billing and claims processing agreement includes a service fee that is based upon a percentage of collections on all claims. Because fees are only earned by CCPI upon collection of the claim, and the fee is not determinable until the amount of the collection of the claim is known, CCPI recognizes revenue at the time claims are paid. Under CMFG #1 the Company recognizes revenue related to CCPI’s services upon receipt of the 20% advance payment from CMFG. |
|
No returns of products are allowed except for products damaged in shipment, which historically have been insignificant. |
|
The rapid pay discounts to the AWP amount offered to the physician or distributor vary based upon the expected payment term from the physician or distributor. The discounts are derived from the Company’s historical experience of the collection rates from internal sources and updated for facts and circumstances and known trends and conditions in the industry, as appropriate. As described in the various models, we recognize provisions for rapid pay discounts in the same period in which the related revenue is recorded. We believe that our current provisions appropriately reflect our exposure for rapid pay discounts. These rapid pay discounts have typically ranged from 40% to 88% of AWP. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Currently, accounts receivable are comprised of amounts due from our CMFG #1, distributor customers and other miscellaneous receivables. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Company individually reviews all accounts receivable balances and based upon an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. An allowance is recorded for those accounts that are determined to likely be uncollectible through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts will be written off. Based on an assessment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, of the collectability of invoices, we established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $55,773 and $81,171, respectively. |
|
Under the Company’s Physician Managed Model and Hybrid Model, CCPI performs billing and collection services on behalf of the physician client and deducts the CCPI fee and product invoice amount from the reimbursement received by CCPI on behalf of the physician client before the reimbursement is forwarded to the physician client. Extended collection periods are typical in the workers compensation industry with payment terms extending from 45 days to in excess of five years. The physician remains personally liable for purchases of product from TMP and TMP retains a security interest in all products sold to the physician, and the resulting claims receivable from sales of the products. CCPI maintains an accounting of all managed accounts receivable on behalf of the physician. As described above, due to uncertainties as to the timing and collectability of revenues derived from these models, revenue is recorded when payment is received, there is no related accounts receivable, and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary. |
Inventory Valuation | Inventory Valuation |
|
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market and consists primarily of finished goods. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Computer equipment is depreciated over three to five years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of fifteen years or term of the applicable property lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. When property and equipment is sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized. Amenities are capitalized as leasehold improvements. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. No impairment indicators existed at December 31, 2014 and 2013, so no long-lived asset impairment was recorded. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets |
|
Intangible assets with finite lives, including patents and internally developed software (primarily the Company’s PDRx Software), are stated at cost and are amortized over their useful lives. Patents are amortized on a straight line basis over their statutory lives, usually fifteen to twenty years. Internally developed software is amortized over three to five years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment, during the fiscal fourth quarter and between annual periods, and more often when events indicate that an impairment may exist. If an impairment has occurred, the intangible assets are written down to fair value as required. The Company has one intangible asset with an indefinite life which is a domain name for medical foods. No impairment indicators existed at December 31, 2014 and 2013, so no intangible asset impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The Company’s financial instruments are accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and warrant derivative liability. The recorded values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their values based on their short term nature. Notes payable are recorded at their issue value or if warrants are attached at their issue value less the proportionate value of the warrant. Warrants issued with ratcheting provisions are classified as derivative liabilities and are revalued using the Black-Scholes model each quarter based on changes in the market value of our common stock and unobservable level 3 inputs. |
|
The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: |
|
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 assumptions: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities including liabilities resulting from imbedded derivatives associated with certain warrants to purchase common stock. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments |
|
Derivative liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on the criteria specified in FASB ASC Topic 815-40 Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Pursuant to ASC 815-40, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as a derivative liability instead of as equity. The estimated fair value of warrants classified as derivative liabilities is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model utilizes Level 3 unobservable inputs to calculate the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period. The Company determined that using an alternative valuation model such as a Binomial-Lattice model would result in minimal differences. The fair value of warrants classified as derivative liabilities is adjusted for changes in fair value at each reporting period, and the corresponding non-cash gain or loss is recorded as other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2014, 95,000 warrants were classified as derivative liabilities. Each reporting period the warrants are re-valued and adjusted through the caption “change in fair value of warrant liability” on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s remaining warrants are recorded to additional paid in capital as equity instruments. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
|
The Company determines its income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated and recorded based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future periods for differences between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Generally, deferred income taxes are classified as current or non-current in accordance with the classification of the related asset or liability. Those not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided for significant deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. |
|
The Company recognizes tax liabilities by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized and also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amount recorded, such differences impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. Interest and penalties, if any, related to accrued liabilities for potential tax assessments are included in income tax expense. U.S. GAAP also requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a liability if the Company has taken uncertain tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by applicable taxing authorities. Management of the Company has evaluated tax positions taken by the Company and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability that would require disclosure in the financial statements. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company accounts for stock option awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic No. 718, compensation expense related to stock-based payments is recorded over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. Compensation previously recorded for unvested stock options that are forfeited is reversed upon forfeiture. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. |
|
The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. Accordingly, the measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. |
Loss Per Common Share | Loss per Common Share |
|
The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options and warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. |
|
Since the effects of outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive in all periods presented, shares of common stock underlying these instruments have been excluded from the computation of loss per common share. |
|
The following sets forth the number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants as of December 31, 2014 and 2013: |
|
| | December 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
Warrants | | | 4,919,372 | | | | 4,256,465 | |
Stock options | | | 2,421,041 | | | | 2,794,841 | |
| | | 7,340,413 | | | | 7,051,306 | |
Research and Development | Research and Development |
|
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In instances where we enter into agreements with third parties for research and development activities, we may prepay fees for services at the initiation of the contract. We record the prepayment as a prepaid asset and amortize the asset into research and development expense over the period of time the contracted research and development services are performed. Typically, we expense 50% of the contract amount within the first two years of the contract and 50% over the remainder of the record retention requirements under the contract based on our experience on how long the clinical trial service is provided. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications |
|
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. The purpose of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments (i) remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, (ii) provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, (iii) improve comparability of revenue recognition across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets, (iv) provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements, and (v) simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The new revenue recognition standard requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount based on the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not determined what transition method it will use and is currently assessing the impact that this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. |
|
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition. |
