BARIOSURG, INC.

NOTES TO THE FINAICAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business: Bariosurg, Inc. (hereinafter, “the Company”), a Delaware corporation formed on August 14, 2008.  It is engaged primarily in research and development of the technology and medical device related to obesity and glycemic control.

 

The fiscal year of Bariosurg, Inc. ends on December 31st.

 

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is as follows:

 

Basis of presentation: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Fixed assets: Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

 

Furniture and equipment

 

5 years

 

Computer

 

5 years

 

 

Total depreciation expense was $0 and $68 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Expenditures for major renewals and betterment that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the statement of income for the period.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value (estimated discounted future cash flows) of the long-lived assets.

 

4



 

Revenue recognition: The Company’s revenue recognition policy is in accordance with U.S. GAAP when the following overall fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or the service has been performed, (iii) the Company’s price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. The Company currently is not recognizing any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Advertising costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The total advertising and marketing expenses were $0 and $124 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Research and Development — The Company accounts for R&D costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 730, Research and Development (“ASC 730”). Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred unless there is an alternative future use in other research and development projects or otherwise. Research and development expenses are comprised of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including personnel-related costs, facilities-related overhead, and outside contracted services including clinical trial costs, manufacturing and process development costs for both clinical and preclinical materials, research costs, and other consulting services. Non-refundable advance payment for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. In instances where the Company enters into agreements with third parties to provide research and development services, costs are expensed as services are performed.

 

Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position.

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets — A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, management considers, among other things, projections of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If the Company determines that sufficient negative evidence exists, then it will consider recording a valuation allowance against a portion or all of the deferred tax assets in that jurisdiction. If, after recording a valuation allowance, the Company’s projections of future taxable income and other positive evidence considered in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be inaccurate, it could prove to be more difficult to support the realization of its deferred tax assets. As a result, an additional valuation allowance could be required, which would have an adverse impact on its effective income tax rate and results. Conversely, if, after recording a valuation allowance, the Company determines that sufficient positive evidence exists in the jurisdiction in which the valuation allowance was recorded, it may reverse a portion or all of the valuation allowance in that jurisdiction. In such situations, the adjustment made to the deferred tax asset would have a favorable impact on its effective income tax rate and results in the period such determination was made. See Note 7 for information related to income taxes, including the recorded balances of its valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in its financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, management considered that the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

 

Concentration:

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000.  As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $138,864 and $182,101 in excess of FDIC insured limits, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Customers: The Company currently is not entering any sales contracts with customers and not recognizing any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Suppliers: The Company currently is not entering any significant purchase agreements with suppliers for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Fair Value Measurements — FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It requires that an entity measure its financial instruments to base fair value on exit price, maximize the use of observable units and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to determine the exit price. It establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

 

·                       Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.

 

·                       Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, 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.

 

6



 

·                       Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. The fair value for such assets and liabilities is generally determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that incorporate the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying values of certain assets and liabilities of the Company, such as cash and cash equivalents, accrued liabilities, and due to related parties, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

 

Share-Based Compensation — The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Stock option awards issued to non-employees, principally consultants of the Company, are accounted for at fair value using the Binomial option pricing model. Management believes that the fair value of the stock options is more reliably measured than the fair value of services received. The Company records compensation expense based on the then-current fair values of the stock options at each financial reporting date. Compensation expense recorded during the service period is adjusted in subsequent periods for changes in the fair value of the stock options until the earlier of the date at which the non-employees’ performance is complete or a performance commitment is reached, which is generally when the stock option award vests. Compensation expense for non-employee grants is recorded on a straight-line basis in the statements of operations. Total share-based compensation expenses were $2,751 and $1,126 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its result of operations, financial position or cash flow.

 

Note 2. Going Concern

 

The Company had incurred net loss of $164,609 and $146,615 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and had accumulated deficit of $2,478,814 and $2,314,205 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. This presentation presumes funds will be available to finance ongoing research and development, operations and capital expenditures and permit the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.

 

There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to the Company and the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital either from shareholders or outside investors and (2) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related party(ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

7



 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

 

Note 3. Related Party Transactions

 

Operating lease

 

On October 1, 2015, the Company and Spinofix Inc., (the “Spinofix”), entered an operating equipment lease agreement which expires on September 30, 2018. Spinofix was incorporated on May 20, 2010 in the state of Delaware. Both the Company and Spinofix are under common control by the Company’s President. The monthly rent is $400. Rent expense under this lease agreement amounted to $1,200 and $1,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Due to related parties

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $7,200 and $6,000 due to Spinofix, respectively.

2009 Stock Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved its 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) in April 2009, providing for the issuance under 2009 Plan of options and rights to purchase up to two million two hundred twenty thousand (2,220,000) shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 839,000 and 809,000 shares, respectively, available for issuance under the Company’s 2009 Plan, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to consultants.

 

The exercise price of stock options under the 2009 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the common stock on the date of grant. All stock options under the 2009 Plan have a term of no greater than 10 years from the date of grant. Vesting of stock options is determined by the President and CEO of the Company, who is also the major shareholder. No stock option may be exercised subsequent to its termination date.

 

The purchase price of a right to purchase common stock and the termination date of the offer under the

 

8



 

2009 Plan is determined by the President and CEO of the Company, who is also the major shareholder. The

 

Company shall have the right to repurchase all or a portion of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option in the event that the participant’s continuous service should terminate for any reason whatsoever.

 

Determination of Fair Value

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Compensation expense related to share-based transactions is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the awards granted. The share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally three to four years.

 

Use of the Binomial option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option, expected volatility of the price of the common stock, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield of the common stock. The assumptions used in the option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates.

 

These assumptions and estimates are as follows:

 

Fair Value of Common Stock

 

The fair value of the common stock underlying its share-based awards was primarily based on the latest financing rounds of issuing equity interest near the option grant date. It was determined by the Company’s board of directors, with input from management and a third-party valuation firm.

 

Expected Term

 

The expected term assumptions were determined based on the vesting terms, exercise terms, and contractual lives of the options.

 

9



 

Expected Volatility

 

The expected volatility of stock options is estimated based upon the historical volatility of a number of publicly traded companies in similar stages of development and comparable industries for a period commensurate with the expected life.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.

 

Dividend Yield

 

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was utilized.

 

Expected Forfeitures

 

The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including economic environment, and historical experience. The Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate annually.

 

Early Exercise Multiple

 

The early exercise multiple is assumed to be 250% of exercise price.
