Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Description Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on May 4, 1998. The Company is developing products that enable secure data, at rest and in flight, across local devices, network, cloud, and databases. On October 15, 2019, the Company changed its name from LandStar, Inc. to Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. within the state of Nevada. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., a North Carolina operating company, and the operations of Myriad Software Productions, LLC through September 2018 when it was liquidated. Prior to the acquisition of Data 443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. in North Carolina and the assets of Myriad Software Productions, LLC in 2018, these two entities were controlled by our sole director and officer, Jason Remillard. On November 17, 2017, Mr. Remillard acquired control of DATA443 RISK MITIGATION, INC. through his purchase of all the outstanding Series A preferred shares of the Company, and as a result, these two entities became common controlled entities that require consolidation of results with the reporting company, DATA443 RISK MITIGATION, INC., from the time common control occurred. All intercompany accounts and activities have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Interim Financial Statements These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue primarily from contracts for subscription to access our SaaS platforms and, to a much lesser degree, ancillary services provided in connection with subscription services. The Company’s contracts include the performance obligations that require us to provide access to the platforms, usually on an annual subscription. The Company’s contracts are for subscriptions to DataExpress TM TM TM TM Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue mostly consists of service subscriptions received from users in advance of revenue recognition. The deferred revenue balance for the period ended March 31, 2020 was driven by cash payments from customers in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. Convertible Financial Instruments The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP. When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument. Common stock purchase warrants and derivative financial instruments - Beneficial Conversion Feature Share-Based Compensation Employees Nonemployees The Company recorded $205,652 in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $45,007 in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows: ● Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; ● Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and ● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, note payable, due to related parties and accrued liabilities, are carried at historical cost. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management determined that liabilities created by beneficial conversion features associated with the issuance of certain convertible notes payable (see Note 6), meet the criteria of derivatives and are required to be measured at fair value. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was determined based on management’s estimate of the expected future cash flows required to settle the liabilities. This valuation technique involves management’s estimates and judgment based on unobservable inputs and is classified in level 3. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and as if converted method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrant and convertible notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive. March 31, 2020 2019 Stock option 466,672 179,443 Warrants 69,714,754 - Convertible notes 144,106,172 2,625,093 214,287,598 2,804,536 COVID-19 A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. As a result of the outbreak, many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations and in markets served. The Company has instituted some and may take additional temporary precautionary measures intended to help ensure the well-being of its employees and minimize business disruption. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at March 31, 2020. The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged outbreak could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company, including the timing and ability of the Company to collect accounts receivable and procure materials and supplies. CARES Act The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. There are several different provisions of the CARES Act that impact income taxes for corporations. While the Company continues to evaluate the tax implications, it believes these provisions will not have a material impact to the financial statements. Additionally, the Company has applied for, and has received, funds under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) after the period covered in these financial statements in the amount of $339,000. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its future adherence to the forgiveness criteria. The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note executed by the Company in connection with the PPP Loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The PPP Loan is being used to retain the Company’s employees and allow them to be able to continue to provide essential services for the customers of the Company. Proceeds of the PPP Loan may also be used for other purposes permitted under applicable terms of the PPP. Certain prior period balances have been reclassed to conform with the current period presentation. |
