Note 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | Recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements. Going Concern ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial StatementsGoing ConcernDisclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to assess an entitys ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, starting December 15, 2016.Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. Financial Instruments In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2019. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2021 and early adoption is permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. Leases In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For finance leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income; and repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable lease payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; a single lease cost will be recognized, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis; and all cash payments will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Under Topic 842 the accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments in Topic 842 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has been continuously assessing the impact of this guidance. Stock Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which simplified certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2018. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. Income Taxes In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-06 will be effective for the Company in its first quarter of 2019. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (ASU 2016-08); ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (ASU 2016-10); and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (ASU 2016-12). The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the new revenue standards). The new revenue standards may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company currently expects to adopt the new revenue standards in its first quarter of 2018 utilizing the full retrospective transition method. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2016 | |
Notes to Financial Statements | |
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 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 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 The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2016, and 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $864,000 and $973,000 respectively. Income Taxes The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. There was no impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of implementing this guidance. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Companys practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress. |

NOTE 4 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE | Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of common stock equivalents. We have excluded 40,447,000 and 37,424,000 common stock equivalents (preferred stock, warrants and stock options) from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively, which, if included, would have an antidilutive effect. |

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES | No current provision for Federal income taxes was required for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, due to the Companys operating losses. At December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company had unused net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,154,000 and $1,043,000 which expire at various dates through 2032. Most of this amount is subject to annual limitations under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code related to changes in ownership. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the deferred tax assets related to the aforementioned carry-forwards have been fully offset by valuation allowances, since it is more likely than not that significant utilization of such amounts will not occur in the foreseeable future. 2016 2015 Deferred tax assets and valuation allowances consist of: Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry forwards $ 462,000 $ 417,000 Less valuation allowance (462,000 ) (417,000 ) Net deferred tax assets $ - $ - We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and Texas state jurisdictions. Tax years for fiscal 2008 through 2016 are open and potentially subject to examination by the New Jersey and Texas state taxing authority.

The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remained the same. The warrants modification expense of $23,963 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share, which was the contemporaneous private placement offering price.

The Warrants expire on September 7, 2017. Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock The principal terms of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock were as follows: Voting rights Dividend rights Conversion rights Redemption rights Liquidation entitlement At any time on or after August 2, 2011, the Holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Preferred Stock then outstanding could have requested liquidation of their Preferred Stock. In the event that, at the time of such requested liquidation, the Company's cash funds (in excess of a $50,000 reserve fund) then available to effect such requested liquidation were inadequate for such purpose, then such requested liquidation should have taken place (on a ratable basis) only to the extent such excess cash funds were available for such purpose. Other provisions Effective June 30, 2012, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to an amendment to the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock which deleted the liquidation provisions. As a result, the Convertible Preferred Stock has been classified as equity (rather than temporary equity) in all filings beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012. |

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, (ASC 820) defines 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, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are described below: Level 1 Inputs Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company; Level 2 Inputs Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 Inputs Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants. There were no transfers in or out of any level the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Companys balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
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 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 | The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2016, and 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $864,000 and $973,000 respectively. |
Income Taxes | The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. There was no impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of implementing this guidance. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Companys practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress. |
