Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidation

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pathfinder, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions, on an ongoing basis. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to the useful lives of intangible assets and income taxes, 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits cash with high credit quality financial institutions and believes any amounts in excess of insurance limitations to be at minimal risk.  Cash held in these accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a maximum of $250,000.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 15 years, which is based upon management’s timelines for the typical development, approval, and marketing and life cycle of pharmaceutical drug products.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment by comparison of the carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s fair value or discounted estimates of future cash flows.

Stock based compensation

Stock based compensation

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period) in the financial statements based on their fair values. For options with graded vesting, the Company values the stock option grants and recognizes compensation expense as if each vesting portion of the award was a separate award. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount of expense recognized. In addition, the realization of tax benefits in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes will be recognized in the cash flow statement as a financing activity rather than as an operating activity.

Income taxes

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in FASB ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers estimated future taxable income or loss and other available evidence when assessing the need for its deferred tax valuation allowance.

Fair value

Fair Value

 

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value based on their short-term maturity.

Research and development

Research and development

 

All research and development activities, including any preclinical and clinical studies and product development activities, are outsourced (see Note G).  Research and development costs, representing principally new product development and manufacturing development, are charged to expense as incurred.

Patent costs

Patent costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with acquiring patent rights and the protection of proprietary technologies are charged to expense as incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company’s comprehensive loss is equal to its net loss for all periods presented, and, as a result, no statement of comprehensive loss has been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
