NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Tiger X Medical, Inc. ("Tiger X" or the "Company"), formerly known as Cardo Medical, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by the virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, previously operated as an orthopedic medical device company specializing in designing, developing and marketing high performance reconstructive joint devices and spinal surgical devices.

During 2010, the Company discontinued its orthopedic medical device operations and sold the assets from its previous business lines during 2011. Through July 1, 2016, our continuing operations included the collection and management of our royalty income earned in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement with Arthrex, Inc. ("Arthrex"). We continued to advance and promote our former knee product lines through participation in mobile teaching labs, seminars and live surgery. The Company is constantly evaluating opportunities for a suitable joint venture partner or buyer for the remaining intellectual property owned by the Company. The Company is also evaluating investment opportunities and uses for its cash. 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from the Company's audited financial statements as of that date, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of the Company as of June 30, 2016 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the interim period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 25, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tiger X Medical, Inc., Accelerated Innovation, Inc. ("Accelerated"), Uni-Knee LLC ("Uni") and Cervical Xpand LLC ("Cervical"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Royalty Agreement

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Arthrex (the "Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the assets of its joint arthroplasty division, referred to as the Reconstructive Division, to Arthrex. The Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement also provided for the Company to receive royalty payments equal to 5% of net sales of the Company's products made by Arthrex on a quarterly basis for a term up to and including the 20th anniversary of the June 10, 2011 closing date. These amounts were reflected as royalty income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

On May 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement (the "Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement") with Arthrex, whereby Arthrex agreed to pay the Company $5,642,302 (the "Royalty Payment") in full satisfaction of all amounts due or payable, or which could become payable under the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement. Of the Royalty Payment, $142,302 of the amount represented royalty income due to the Company under the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement through the date of the Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement, and the remaining $5,500,000 represented the settlement of future royalties. The $142,302 in royalty income under the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement was recorded as royalty income during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Royalty Settlement and Release Agreement became effective on July 1, 2016 upon the receipt of the Royalty Payment (see Note 4).  

Use of Estimates

Financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management makes estimates relating to share-based payments and deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue consists of royalty income from Arthrex pursuant to the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement. Royalty income is recognized as the amount becomes known and collectability is reasonably assured.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of diluted shares outstanding at each reporting period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. No dilutive potential common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount because their impact was anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The likelihood of realizing the tax benefits related to a potential deferred tax asset is evaluated, and a valuation allowance is recognized to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the beginning and end of the year; the change in the sum of the deferred tax asset, valuation allowance and deferred tax liability during the year generally is recognized as a deferred tax expense or benefit. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company evaluates the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in its financial statements and determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit is recorded in its financial statements. For those tax positions where it is "not more likely than not" that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. The Company has not accrued for any such uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2016 (unaudited) or December 31, 2015.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The cash and cash equivalents held in the Company's business money market and other bank accounts are with local and national banking institutions and subjected to FDIC insurance limits of $250,000 per banking institution. As of June 30, 2016, the Company's balances in these bank accounts exceeded the insured amount by $13,650,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
