1. Description of
Business and
Basis of
Presentation
|
Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Symbollon Corporation) was formed to develop and commercialize proprietary iodine-based products for infection control and treatment in biomedical and bioagricultural industries.
The success of future operations is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies in the same stage of development. Principal among these risks are the Company’s cumulative operating losses, no assurance of profitable future operations, early state of market development, competition from substitute products or larger companies, dependence on key personnel and the uncertainty of additional future financing as needed.
Our financial statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2011 have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had a net loss of $448,179 and $87,956 and negative cash flows from operations of $228,596 and $44,898 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and three months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. At March 31, 2011, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of $22,619,618 and negative working capital of $468,999. The Company does not have adequate cash resources to continue our base operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize the Company’s assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of operations.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to receive continued financial support from the Company’s creditors, stockholders and external investors and to increase sales of Iogen, the Company’s dietary supplement marketed to promote breast health for women. Management is actively seeking equity and debt financing from external investors, and is attempting to increase sales of Iogen. The Company is also pursuing other strategic options, including possible sales or licenses of its technology or a sale or merger of the Company. In 2010, the Company raised $242,000 in private placements of 8,733,333 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 666,666 shares of common stoc. In February 2011, the Company raised $30,000 in a private placement of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Failure to either obtain the support of additional external investors to finance the Company’s operations, increase sales of Iogen or execute our other strategic options will cause us to cease operations in the near future.

2. Summary of
Significant
Accounting Policies
|
The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accounting policies that management believes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
|
Use of Estimates
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired.
|
Concentration of
Credit Risks
|
In 2008, the Company launched Iogen as a dietary supplement for the promotion of female breast health. Currently, the Company is selling Iogen through its website, www.BuyIogen.com, and retail outlets. Online purchases of Iogen are made through credit card transactions, and certain retailers are granted credit terms or sell on consignment. The Company had accounts receivable outstanding of $19,818 and $765 as of March 31, 2011 or 2010, respectively.
|
Long-Lived Assets
|
Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets and property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value. The Company does not believe that any of its long-lived assets are impaired at March 31, 2011.

2. Summary of
Significant
Accounting Policies
(Continued)
|
|
Depreciation and
Amortization
|
Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life (ranging from 5-7 years) using the straight-line method.
|
Intangible Assets
|
Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of patents that have estimated useful lives ranging from 9-17 years and a remaining weighted average useful life of 4.0 years. Costs related to patent applications are capitalized as incurred and are amortized once the patent application is accepted or are expensed if the application is rejected or there are other circumstances that indicate that the asset is impaired (as described above).
|
Income Taxes
|
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized in future periods.
|
Fair value of
Financial
Instruments
|
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets and accounts payable approximate fair value based on their short-term maturities.
|
Equity
Investment
|
On December 8, 2008, the Company acquired 625,000 shares of common stock in BioCide Pharma, Inc., a start-up venture, in exchange for a transfer of certain patent rights and assumption of liabilities. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method according to ASC 323, “Investment—Equity Method and Joint Ventures.” At March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s investment had value of $(20,000) and none, respectively.
|
Revenue
Recognition
|
The Company recognizes revenue from its product sales and licensing arrangements in accordance with SEC guidelines. Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured. Licensing revenues are recognized over the term of licensing period.

2. Summary of
Significant
Accounting Policies
(Continued)
|
|
Deferred Licensing
Revenues
|
On October 8, 2010, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Organic Business Alliances, LLC and KSIA, LLC. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company granted a non-exclusive license to KSIA to develop products based on its technology. To the extent any products are developed under the license, Symbollon has a right to manufacture and sell such products to KSIA for resale. Symbollon also granted KSIA a non-exclusive license to purchase Iogen for 50% off the suggested retail price for resale. Pursuant to the agreement, OBA agreed to fund key-man life insurance cost for the officers and directors of Symbollon up to $3,750,000. Under the agreement, Symbollon received $144,668 in licensing payments which was used to purchase key-man life insurance. The Company recognized $43,401 of licensing revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 and a like amount of key-man insurance premium expenses. At March 31, 2011, $86,802 was recorded as deferred licensing revenue and will be recognized as revenue in 2011 over the remaining license period.
|
Advertising Costs
|
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. In the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company incurred $233 and $105, respectively, in advertising costs.
|
Research and
Development
|
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
|
Stock-Based
Compensation
|
The Company accounts for share-based compensation based on the option’s fair value and the vesting period of the award.
|
Loss Per Share
|
Basic earnings per share excludes the effect of any dilutive options, warrants or convertible securities and is computed by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents computed using the average market price for the period under the treasury stock method.

4. Stock Plans
|
The Company has adopted two stock plans: a stock option plan and a nonemployee directors’ stock option plan.
The stock option plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights. The stock option plan expired on August 4, 2008 with options to purchase 1,225,000 shares outstanding at September 30, 2010. No future grants may be made under this plan.
The nonemployee directors’ stock option plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options automatically on January 1 of each calendar year. The Company has reserved 500,000 shares for issuance under the plan. Each outside director shall be granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A common stock at fair market value, vesting 50% on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant. The nonemployee directors’ stock option plan expires on the first business day of 2017. There are 290,000 shares available for future grant or purchase under this plan.
Through December 31, 2008 the Company issued stock options to its employees and outside directors pursuant to stockholder approved stock option plans. On October 1, 2009 the Company issued stock options to its outside directors outside of a stockholder-approved stock option plan. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Employee option awards generally vest over three years from the date of grant, and outside directors option awards generally vest over two years from the date of grant. All option awards generally have 10-year contractual terms. The Company attributes stock-based compensation cost to operations using the straight-line method over the applicable vesting period.
The Company recorded $19,077 and $10,032 of stock-based compensation for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, included in general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2011, the unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards was $83,395. This amount will be recognized in operations over a weighted average period of 16 months.

(1) The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the option exercise price.
|
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted options for 70,000 and 40,000 shares exercisable between $0.02 and $0.15 per share. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.02 and $0.15 per share, respectively. No stock options were exercised during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

(Continued)
|
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury Strips rate on the date of grant. The expected life was calculated using the simplified method as the Company’s historical experience does not provide a reasonable basis for the expected term of the option. Based on the recent history and current expectations, the Company has not adjusted the calculated value of the options for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to reflect a forfeiture rate.
|
5. Loss Per Share
|
The Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The following table summarizes securities that were outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 but not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because such shares are antidilutive:

6. Distribution Agreement
|
On June 30, 2009, the Company signed a distribution agreement with Integra Labs, Inc. granting Integra the exclusive right to distribute Iogen in countries allowing over-the-counter sales of the product. Under the agreement, Integra purchased the Company’s existing inventory of Iogen at cost. On January 19, 2010, the parties signed a mutual termination agreement terminating the distribution agreement. As part of the termination, the Company repurchased the Iogen inventory at cost. This inventory has been fully reserved.
