Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014,February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2014-09,2016-02, Revenue from ContractsLeases. This is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It requires all leases that have a term in excess of 12 months be recognized on the balance sheet with Customers (Topic 606)the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset value based on the present value of future aggregate payments. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industriesbecame effective beginning January 1, 2019 and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits early adoption, but not before December 15, 2016, and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standardwas adopted on our financial position and results of operations, as well as our selected transition method. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believestatements. The Company recorded the new standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, as we do not expect to changeright-of-use asset for the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions.

Earnings or (Loss) (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Therefore, because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the potential dilution would be 5,000,000 sharesstatements for period of common stock in the event the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are converted.

Basis of Presentation of Financial Information

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP,generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company's ability to establish itself as a profitable business. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,192,303$6,593,250 and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, reported net income of $193,828 and $236,657, respectively. By contrast, at June 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,829,907 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, incurred net losses of $215,189$439,779 and $759,459,$648,282, respectively. Management expects that the Company maywill need to raise additional capital to sustain operations until such time as the Company can achieve profitability. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations.

 

The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes from the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2017.16, 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company launched its Blackbox System web application for domestic use and made it available to subscribers in September 2016 and we have not yet attained a level of subscription sales revenue that would allow us to meet our current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations prior to the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. Unless there is a significant change in cash requirements, the Company believes it has sufficient working capital to fund any operating deficiencies and future development costs until the end of 2018.

 

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the Company had a cash balance of $163,913$159,106 and oura working capital was $192,871deficit of $2,885,759 as compared to a cash balance of $28,867$91,782 and a working capital deficit of $160,006$1,304,967 at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019. Such cash amount is not sufficient to fund our plans of operation. As such, we will need to raise additional funds to carry out our plans of operation and fund our ongoing operational expenses including the marketing of our Blackbox System. We expect that costs and expenses necessary to implement our planned marketing operations over the next 12 months will be between $1 Million to $2 Million. Additional funding is expected to be generated through equity financing from the sale of our Common Stock and/or the incurrence of debt. If we are successful in completing equity financing, existing stockholders will experience dilution of their interest in our Company. We do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our Common Stock or debt to fund our plans of operation and ongoing operational expenses. In the absence of such financing, our business will likely fail. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and as such, is not required to provide the information required under this Item.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESItem 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Gust Kepler, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter endedSeptember June 30, 20172020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our principal executive officer and principal financial officer with reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs.

Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

 

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the fact that the Company only has one director and executive officer dealing with general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a material weakness in the internal controls. Management has decided that considering the officer/director involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation were low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties did not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management periodically reevaluates this situation. In light of the Company’s current cash flow situation, the Company does not intend to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.
