Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation, Basis of Presentation and Significant Estimates
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Such consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the interim information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements disclosed in the Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on April 12. 2016 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements 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. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s cash balance was $145,000 and its operating losses for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 have used most of the Company’s liquid assets and the negative working capital has grown by approximately $.9 million from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes some portion of the liabilities with employees will be settled in stock. Management is actively seeking forms of debt and equity financing. The Company is currently negotiating with certain parties whose obligations are due in the next twelve months to extend payment terms beyond one year. The Company is working on extending its payment terms on employee notes, raising additional equity and refinancing debt and other noteholders. In addition, the Company may need to slow the pace of some of their new product rollouts. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining new forms of debt or equity financing, they will begin negotiating with some of their major vendors and lenders to extend the terms of their debt and also evaluate certain expenses that have been implemented for the Company’s growth strategy. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of medical products and supplies for the diagnosis and prevention of cancer. Product revenue is recognized when all four of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of the products has occurred or risk of loss transfers to the customer; (3) the selling price of the product is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generates the majority of its revenue from the sale of inventory. For its German subsidiaries, the Company and its customers agree in the sales contract that risk of loss and title transfer upon the Company packing the items for shipment, segregating the items packaged and notifying the customer that their items are ready for pickup. The Company records such sales at time of completed packaging and segregation of the items from general inventory and notification has been confirmed by the customer.
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold and charged to the customers based on the contractual terms.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first in first out method (FIFO) and market is based generally on net realizable value. Inventories consists of parts inventory purchased from outside vendors, raw materials used in the manufacturing of equipment; work in process and finished goods. Management reviews inventory on a regular basis and determines if inventory is still useable. A reserve is established for the estimated decrease in carrying value for obsolete inventory.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in United States Dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company’s German subsidiaries is the EURO (“EURO”). The accounts of the German subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830, “
Foreign Currency Matters
.” In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates, stockholders’ equity was translated at the historical rates and statements of operations transactions were translated at the average exchange rate for each period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity
Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist of engineering, product development, testing, developing and validating the manufacturing process, and regulatory related costs.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) that the Company acquires through business combinations represents the fair value assigned to incomplete research projects which, at the time of acquisition, have not reached technological feasibility. The amounts are capitalized and are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project, MEDITE will make a determination as to the then useful life of the intangible asset, generally determined by the period in which the substantial majority of the cash flows are expected to be generated, and begin amortization. The Company tests IPR&D for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the IPR&D intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative test that compares the fair value of the IPR&D intangible asset with its carrying value is performed. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Including Finite Lived Intangibles
At each balance sheet date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management of the Company evaluates the recoverability of such assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the amount of undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, in which case the asset is written down to fair value. The fair value of the asset is measured by either quoted market prices or the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. Unless events or circumstances have changed significantly, we generally do not re-test at year end assets acquired from a business combination in the year of acquisition.
Impairment of Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
The Company has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Subtopic 350-30.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recognized for the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (December 31 for us) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.
Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital.
The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and secured lines of credit and long-term debt approximate their respective fair values due to their short maturities.
The Company issued warrants during the period ended June 30, 2016. These were recognized at their fair value using Level 3 inputs. We have not determined the fair value of the Notes Due to Employees or Advances – related party. Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). We measure our assets and liabilities using inputs from the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available, including our own data.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares, using the treasury stock method. MEDITE’s calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 as the effect would be anti-dilutive (i.e. would reduce the loss per share).
In accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release 280, the Company computes its loss applicable to common stock holders by subtracting dividends on preferred stock, including undeclared or unpaid dividends if cumulative, from its reported net loss and reports the same on the face of its statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The amendments in ASU 2016-12 affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 that are outlined in ASU 2016-12. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of Update 2014-09, which is discussed below. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements
In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606. The scope of that Topic includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of Update 2014-09, which is discussed below. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The areas for simplification in this Update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance, but the Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. This new accounting guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e., calendar years beginning on January 1, 2019), including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17) “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the separate classification of deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the consolidated balance sheet statement of financial position. The amendments in the update require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We early adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2015 on a retrospective basis.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The amendments require an entity to measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. The Company does not expect this amendment to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 - “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU No. 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU No. 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The standard’s core principle is that debt issuance costs related to a note are reflected in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of that note and amortization of debt issuance costs is reported in interest expense. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods (i.e., the balance sheet for each period is adjusted). The Company adopted this ASU No. 2015-03 in its December 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, $20,000 of debt issuance costs have been presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability as of December 31, 2015. There were no debt issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments is ASU 2014-15 are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this standard are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are evaluating the effect, if any; adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue with Contracts from Customers.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The ASU introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The updated guidance is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2006, MEDITE GmbH, Burgdorf, entered into a Euro 500,000 ($555,200 as of June 30, 2016) term loan agreement #1 with Hannoversche Volksbank with an interest rate of 3.4% per annum. The term loan has a maturity of September 2016 and requires semi-annual principal payments of approximately Euro 27,780 ($30,847 as of June 30, 2016). The term loan is guaranteed by Michaela Ott and Michael Ott, stockholders of the Company, and a mortgage on the property of the Company.
In June 2006, MEDITE GmbH, Burgdorf, entered into a Euro 400,000 ($444,160 as of June 30, 2016) term loan #2 with Hannoversche Volksbank with an interest rate of 3.6 % per annum.

In March 2009, the Company entered into a participation rights agreement with DZ Equity Partners in the form of a debenture with a mezzanine lender who advanced the Company up to Euro 1.5 million, ($1.7 million as of June 30, 2016) in two tranches of Euro 750,000 each, ($832,800 as of June 30, 2016). The first tranche was paid to the Company at closing with the second tranche being conditioned on MEDITE GmbH, Burgdorf and its subsidiaries hitting certain performance targets. Those targets were not met and the second tranche was never called. The debenture pays interest at the rate of 12.15% per annum and matures at the time the German financial statements are issued, anticipated to be May 31, 2017.
On December 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2015 Purchase Agreement”) with seven (7) individual accredited investors (collectively the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Purchasers secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 with interest accruing at an annual rate of 15% (the “Note(s)”) and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 250,000 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001) per share, of the Company (the “Warrant(s)”). The Warrants had an initial exercise price of $1.60 per share, which were subject to adjustment, and are exercisable for a period of five (5) years. March 15, 2016, the Board of Directors agreed to renegotiated terms with the warrant holders to remove the anti-dilution and down round price protection features in the warrant agreement and fixed the exercise price at $.80. The warrants issued with the Notes were increased from 250,000 to 500,000. The Notes matured on March 31, 2016 and were not repaid. Therefore, the Notes were in default on April 1, 2016. The Company agreed to pay the Purchasers 10% of the principal balance of the Notes in warrants until the principal balance is repaid. For the months of April, May, and June 2016 the Company issued an aggregate of 150,000 warrants with an estimated fair value of $50,850 which was recorded as additional paid in capital and interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2016 (See Also Note 10). The Notes are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories held in the United States.
On December 31, 2015, the Company recognized the fair value of the original Warrants issued with the secured promissory notes of $90,000 as a discount on the debt. On March 15, 2016, the Company recorded an additional discount of $90,000 for the additional Warrants issued in connection with the renegotiated terms as discussed above. As of June 30, 2016, the discounts have been fully amortized into interest expense as the related Notes matured on March 31, 2016. There were no such arrangements during the same period in 2015. See Note 8 for further disclosure of the Warrants.
One of the Purchasers of a $100,000 secured promissory note (see above) was elected to the Board of Directors to serve as Director and Chairman of the Company’s audit committee.
On May 25, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “May Purchase Agreement”) with two (2) individual accredited investors, one of which who serves on the Company’s Board of Directors (collectively the “May Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the May Purchasers secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “May Note(s)”) with an interest rate of 15% and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 150,000 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “May Warrant(s)”). The Notes mature on the earlier of the third (3
rd
) month anniversary date following the Closing Date, as defined in the Note, or the third (3
rd
) business day following the Company’s receipt of funds exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000) from an equity or debt financing, not including the financing contemplated under the May Purchase Agreement. The May Notes may be converted into Units issued pursuant to the Company’s private financing of up to $5,000,000 (the “Follow On Offering”) Units at a price of $.80/Unit (the “Units”) consisting of: (i) a 2 year unsecured convertible note, which converts into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $.80 per share and (ii) a warrant to purchase one half additional share of common stock, with an initial exercise price equal to $.80 per share (the “Follow On Warrant”).
The May Notes are secured by a security agreement (the “Security Agreement(s)”). The May Notes are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories held in the United States. The May Warrants have an initial exercise price of $.80 per share and are exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The Company recorded a debt discount of $50,850 attributed to the warrants and amortized approximately $19,775 to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company was in default with regard to the May notes at August 25, 2016. As a result, a penalty representing 15,000 warrants per month valued at $5,085 will accrue as long as the note remains in default status.
The Company engaged TriPoint Global Equities, LLC (the “Agent”) as placement agent in connection with the sale of securities in the offering (the “Offering”) and agreed to pay the Agent (i) cash commissions equal to three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds ($4,500) received by the Company; and (ii) warrants to purchase such number of securities equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable in connection with the Offering (the “Agent Warrant(s)”). The Agent’s Warrants will have the same terms and conditions as the May Warrants purchased by the May Purchasers.
In November 2015 and February 2016, the Company entered into promissory notes totaling $927,000 with certain employees to repay wages earned prior to December 31, 2014 not paid (“Notes Due to Employees"). The Notes Due to Employees are to be paid monthly through September 2019, with no interest due on the outstanding balances. The monthly amounts increase over the payment term. The amounts due become immediately due and payable if payments are more than ten days late either one or two consecutive months as defined in the agreement with the employee. At June 30, 2016, $679,000 of the total Notes Due to Employees outstanding of $877,000 is in default due to two consecutive monthly payments not being made on certain notes. Therefore, the total balance outstanding on the default notes have been presented as current on the consolidated balance sheets. Certain employees may convert any of the amounts owed during the duration of the note to equity at a discounted price as defined in the agreement. The Company is currently in default on these notes. As a result, all notes are payable on demand. The Company is currently negotiating with the employees whose notes are in default to extend payment terms.
