Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

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 and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

Basis of Consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CorMedix Europe GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Loss per common share:

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share excludes any potential dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  However, since their effect is anti-dilutive, the Company has excluded potentially dilutive shares.  The following potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

Awards granted to employees, officers and directors are measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and stock-based compensation cost, net of expected forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis.

 

The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees on a fair value basis using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.  The non-cash charge to operations for non-employee options with service vesting is revalued at the end of each reporting period based upon the change in the fair value of the options and amortized to consulting expense over the related vesting period.  For stock options granted to non-employees with vesting contingent upon various performance metrics, the Company used the guidelines in accordance with FASB ASC No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” For options having performance conditions that are outside of the control of the non-employee, the cost to be recognized is the lowest aggregate fair value prior to the achievement of the performance condition, even if the Company believes it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,400,000 and 380,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were granted to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants.
