Significant Accounting Policies | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2020 and the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements. Results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “authoritative guidance” is to the Accounting Standards Codification issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s 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 amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements include impairment consideration and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowances, and the fair value of stock options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Pursuant to ASC Topic 350, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter (December 31, 2020), or between annual tests, in certain circumstances. Under authoritative guidance, the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, other entity specific events and sustained decrease in share price. There were no impairment charges recognized during either of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Intangible Assets Intangible assets include patents, copyrights, intellectual property rights and licensed software. The Company uses the straight-line method to amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with ASC Topic 360. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. There were no impairment charges recognized during either of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using expected tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, due to the uncertainty of the realizability of those assets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This pronouncement requires that the Company calculate the fair value of financial instruments and include this additional information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value is different than the book value of those financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value, due to their short-term nature. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue General The majority of license fees and services revenue are generated from fixed-price and per-scan contracts. Under the per-scan revenue model, customers are charged a fee each time the customer scans an identity document, such as a driver’s license, with the Company’s software. Under the fixed-price revenue model customers are charged a fixed monthly fee either per device or physical business location to access the Company’s software. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in a customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in an arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of the Company’s services as they are performed. Substantially all customer contracts provide that the Company is compensated for services performed to date. Invoicing is based on schedules established in customer contracts. Payment terms are generally established from 30 to 60 days from the invoice date. Product returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Furthermore, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Nature of goods and services The following is a description of the products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each: Software as a Service (SaaS) Software as a service (SaaS) for hosted subscription services and licensed software allows customers to access a set of data for a predetermined period of time. As the customer obtains access at a point in time but continues to have access for the remainder of the subscription period, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Accordingly, the revenue should be recognized over time based on the usage of the hosted subscription services and licensed software, which can vary from month to month. The revenue is typically based either on a formula such as number of locations using the service in a given month multiplied by a fee per location or the number of actual scans in a given month multiplied by a set price per scan based on the contract with the customer. Other Subscription and Support Services The Company also recognizes revenues from other subscription and support services, which includes jurisdictional updates to certain commercial customers and support services particularly to its Defense ID® customers. These subscriptions require continuing service or post contractual customer support and performance. As the customer obtains access at a point in time but continues to have access for the remainder of the subscription period, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Accordingly, the revenue should be recognized over time based on usage, which can vary from month to month. The revenue is typically based on a formula such as number of locations in a given month multiplied by a fee per location. Equipment Revenue Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized at a point in time. The point in time that the revenue is recognized is when the customer has control of the equipment which is when the customer receives the benefit and the Company’s performance obligation has been satisfied. Depending on the contract terms, that could either be at the time the equipment is shipped or at the time the equipment is received. Non-Recurring Services Revenue The non-recurring services include items such as training, installation, customization, and configuration. The Company recognizes revenue from non-recurring services contracts ratably over the service contract period as the customer consumes the benefit as it is provided and the Company’s performance obligation has been satisfied. Extended Warranty Extended warranty revenues are generated when a warranty is provided to the customer separately of other performance obligations when the equipment is sold. As the customer obtains access at a point in time and continues to have access for the remainder of the warranty term, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs. The related revenue is recognized ratably over the specified term of the warranty period. The extended warranty is separate to the Company’s standard warranty of usually one year that it receives from its vendor. Disaggregation of revenue In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by product and service and the timing of revenue recognition. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue.

The revenue was associated with commercial identity sales customers. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, warrants and restricted stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares.
