NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Transdel” or the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 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, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011.  For further information, refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

On September 17, 2007, Transdel entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Transdel, Transdel Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation (“Transdel Holdings”), and Trans-Pharma Acquisition Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Transdel (“Acquisition Sub”). Upon closing of the merger transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub merged with and into Transdel Holdings, and Transdel Holdings, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transdel.

 

In connection with the merger, 1,849,993 of Transdel common shares remain outstanding and all other outstanding shares of Transdel were cancelled. Also, at the closing of the Merger, each share of Transdel Holdings common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was exchanged for the right to receive 0.15625 of one share of Transdel’s common stock. An aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Transdel’s common stock, which includes 195,313 shares of restricted stock which were subject to forfeiture, were issued to the holders of Transdel Holdings’ common stock. As a result of the transaction, the former owners of Transdel Holdings became the controlling stockholders of Transdel. Accordingly, the merger of Transdel Holdings and Transdel is a reverse merger that has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Transdel Holdings.

 

Effective on September 17, 2007, and for all reporting periods thereafter, Transdel’s operating activities, including any prior comparative period, include only those of Transdel Holdings. All references to share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been restated to reflect the aforementioned share exchange. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

On June 20, 2011, Transdel Holdings was merged with Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., at which time Transdel Holdings ceased as a corporation, and Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. remains as the sole surviving corporation.

 

Development Stage Enterprise

 

The Company is a development stage company as defined under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business, and its planned principal operations have not yet commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

 

These consolidated financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a development stage enterprise and has sustained significant losses since inception and expects to continue to incur losses through 2012.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all costs related to research and development as they are incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

The Company will recognize revenues in accordance with FASB guidance, which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) will be based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or for which services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has received initial non-refundable royalty advances of $100,000, these revenues have been deferred until certain royalty considerations are met.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had not generated any revenues and the Company does not anticipate that it will generate any significant revenues until one or more of its drug candidates are approved by the FDA or until the Company is able to commercialize one or more of its cosmetic products. Also, effective sales and marketing support must be in place for either the drug candidates or the cosmetic products in order to generate any revenues. The FDA approval process is highly uncertain and the Company cannot estimate when it will generate revenues at this time from sales of its products.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense is provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.  Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  The differences relate primarily to the effects of net operating loss carry forwards and differing basis, depreciation methods, and lives of depreciable assets. The deferred tax assets represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be deductible when the assets are recovered.

 

No income tax benefit (expense) was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of tax losses in this period and because deferred tax benefits, derived from the Company’s prior net operating losses, were previously fully reserved, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and California. The Company’s tax years for 2000 and forward are subject to examination by the United States and state tax authorities due to the carry forward of unutilized net operating losses

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

A financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk is cash.  The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit coverage with limits to $250,000 per owner. In addition to the basic insurance deposit coverage, the FDIC is providing temporary unlimited coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2011, there were no uninsured deposits.

 

Computer Equipment

Computer equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three years.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $74, $338, $264 and $528, respectively, in depreciation expense.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The established fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

· Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.
· Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices 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.
· Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.

 

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate carrying values due to their short term maturities.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options to employees, directors and consultants and restricted stock grants, are recognized in the financial statements based upon their fair values.

 

The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows FASB guidance. As such, the value of the applicable stock-based compensation is periodically remeasured and income or expense is recognized during their vesting terms. 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 primarily recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with FASB guidance, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company recorded the fair value of nonforfeitable equity instruments issued for future consulting services as prepaid consulting fees in its consolidated balance sheets.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants outstanding during the period.

 

Basic and diluted net loss applicable to common stock per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents (prior to application of the treasury stock, if converted method) from convertible notes, stock options and warrants were 3,497,867 and 3,707,730 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for all periods presented because the effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, the valuation of contributed services, stock options, deferred taxes and stock-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The update contains the results of the work of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this update are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and as a result are not yet applicable to the Company. The Company is evaluating the impact of the update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
