Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Basis of Presentation - These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements by U.S. GAAP.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position as of March 31, 2017.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC; both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which are represented in the Company’s discontinued operations (Note 3).  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Interim Financial Statements - These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2016, and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Our accounting policies did not change in the first three months of 2017.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any future period.

 

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include management’s assessments of the carrying value of certain assets.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Plan - The Company’s financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP and are subject to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company faces certain risks and uncertainties that are present in many emerging companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party manufacturing organizations.

 

The Company has previously relied exclusively on private placements with a small group of investors to finance its business and operations.  The Company has had little revenue since inception.  For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $75,627 and used approximately $1,598 in net cash from operating activities from continuing operations.  The Company had total cash on hand of approximately $1,639 as of March 31, 2017. The Company is not able to obtain additional financing adequate to fulfill its commercialization activities, nor achieve a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company does not currently have any revenue under contract nor does it have any immediate sales prospects.  The Company has significantly reduced employees and overhead. The decision to cease operations of Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC was made on December 31, 2015. These business components are captured within discontinued operations as of March 31, 2017 (Note 3). The Company has significantly scaled back operations to maintain only a minimal level of operations necessary to support our licensee, warehouse the equipment held for the licensee and look for potential merger candidates.  It is the Company’s intention to move forward as a public entity and to seek potential merger candidates.  If the Company fails to merge or be acquired by another company, we will be required to terminate all operations.

 

Based upon the Company’s current financial position and inability to obtain additional financing, the Company was not able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments in 2016 under the $2,000,000 senior secured debt.  The Company will continue to work with the lenders to explore extension or conversion options, but there is no guarantee the lenders will agree to modify the repayment terms of the notes under conditions that will allow the Company to continue to repay the notes, if at all. As these notes are secured by all the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights, the Company is in default in regard to interest payments on the notes, and the lenders may call the notes and foreclose on the Company’s assets.

 

The issues described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company has been solely reliant on raising debt and capital in order to maintain its operations.  Previously the Company was able to raise debt and equity financing through the assistance of a small number of investors who have been substantial participants in its debt and equity offerings since the Company’s formation.  These investors have chosen not to further assist the Company with its capital raising initiatives and, at this time, the Company is not able to obtain any alternative forms of financing and the Company will not be able to continue to satisfy its current or long term obligations.  The Company needs to merge with or be acquired by another company.  If a candidate is not identified, the Company will be forced to cease operations all together.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Net income (loss) per share - The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts pursuant to ASC 260-10-45. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock during the period.  The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first day of the year for any potentially diluted debt or equity.  The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities since that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Subsequent events - The Company follows the guidance in ASC 855-10-50 for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements.  Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).  Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued guidance will not be material to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets other than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”), which would require the recognition of the tax expense from the sale of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted.  We are considering the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-16 may have on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which standardizes cash flow statement classification of certain transactions, including cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment, proceeds from insurance claim settlements, and distributions received from equity method investments. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted.  We are considering the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-15 may have on our presentation of cash flows.

 

From May 2014 through December 2016, the FASB issued several ASUs related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  These ASUs are intended to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts.  The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although entities may adopt one year earlier if they choose.  The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application.  We do not believe this new standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
