1. ORGANIZATION | ' |
Visualant, Inc. (the “Company” or “Visualant”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 8, 1998 and currently has authorized common stock of 500,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value. On September 13, 2002, 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 were authorized by the shareholders. There are no preferred shares issued and the terms have not been determined. The Company’s executive offices are located in Seattle, Washington. | |
The Company has invented a way to shine light at a material (solid surface, liquid, or gas) and measure the amount of light that is reflected back. The pattern of this reflected light is compared to other patterns the Company has captured and this allows the Company to identify, detect, or diagnose materials that cannot be identified by the human eye. The Company refers to this pattern of reflected light as a ChromaID™. The Company designs ChromaID Scanner devices made with electronic, optical, and software parts to produce and capture the light. | |
The Company’s first product, the ChromaID F12 Lab Kit, scans and identifies solid surfaces. The Company is marketing this product to customers who are considering licensing the technology. Target markets include, but are not limited to, plastic packing, semiconductors, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers, medical waste, commercial paint manufacturers, process control companies, currency paper and ink manufacturers, security card, reader, and scanner manufacturers, food processing, and electronic gaming. | |
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., based in Aurora, Oregon, the Company provides value added security and authentication solutions to corporate and government security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States. | |
On November 11, 2013, the Company entered into a Services and License Agreement with Invention Development Management Company (“IDMC”), L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company. IDMC is affiliated with Intellectual Ventures, which collaborates with inventors, partners with pioneering companies and invests both expertise and capital in the process of invention. The Company shipped twenty ChromaID F12 Lab Kits inventors in the IDMC network during December 2013. | |
On June 10, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Voting Agreement with Special Situations and forty other accredited investors pursuant to which we issued 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a total of $5,230,000, which amount includes the conversion of $500,000 in outstanding debt of the Company owed to one of its officers. As part of the transaction which closed on June 14, 2013, the Company issued to the investors (i) five year Series A Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share; and (ii) five year Series B Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share. The transaction was entered into to strengthen our balance sheet, complete the purchase of our TransTech subsidiary, and provide working capital to support the rapid movement of our ChromaID technology into the marketplace. | |
The Company’s Joint Development Agreement with Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd., which focuses on the commercialization of the ChromaID™ technology expired December 31, 2013. The parties are currently defining their future commercial relationship.

2. GOING CONCERN | ' |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of $6,604,631 and $2,725,692 for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our net cash used in operating activities was $3,503,580 for the year ended September 30, 2013. | |
The Company anticipates that it will record losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2013, our accumulated deficit was $21,399,592. The Company has limited capital resources, and operations to date have been funded with the proceeds from private equity and debt financings and loans from Ronald P. Erickson, our Chief Executive Officer. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The audit report prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2013 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. | |
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. |

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS | ' | ||||||||||||||||
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Inter-Company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit. | |||||||||||||||||
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required. | |||||||||||||||||
INVENTORIES - Inventories consist primarily of printers and consumable supplies, including ribbons and cards, badge accessories, capture devices, and access control components held for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are considered available for resale when drop shipped and invoiced directly to a customer from a vendor, or when physically received by TransTech at a warehouse location. The company records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory whenever an impairment has been identified. There is a $10,000 reserve for impaired inventory as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
EQUIPMENT - Equipment consists of machinery, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the relevant asset, generally 2-10 years, except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over 5-20 years. | |||||||||||||||||
INTANGIBLE ASSETS / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY – The Company amortizes the intangible assets and intellectual property acquired in connection with the acquisition of TransTech, over sixty months on a straight - line basis, which was the time frame that the management of the Company was able to project forward for future revenue, either under agreement or through expected continued business activities. Intangible assets and intellectual property acquired from RATLab LLC and Javelin are recorded likewise. The Company performs annual assessments and has determined that no impairment is necessary. | |||||||||||||||||
GOODWILL – Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. With the adoption of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, but are combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics. Under the criteria set forth by ASC 350, the Company has one reporting unit based on the current structure. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performs annual assessments and has determined that no impairment is necessary. | |||||||||||||||||
LONG-LIVED ASSETS – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results. | |||||||||||||||||
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company issued warrants to 104,600,000 shares of common stock in connection with the June 2013 Private Placement of 52,300,000 shares of common stock. The strike price of these warrants is $0.15 to $0.20 per share. These warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. These warrants were issued with a down-round provision whereby the exercise price would be adjusted downward in the event that additional shares of the Company’s common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for the Company’s common stock were issued at a price less than the exercise price. Therefore, the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet and are marked to market each reporting period until they are exercised or expire or otherwise extinguished. | |||||||||||||||||
The proceeds from the Private Placement were allocated between the Common Shares and the Warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement based upon their estimated fair values as of the closing date at June 14, 2013, resulting in the aggregate amount of $2,494,710 to the Stockholders’ Equity and $2,735,290 to the warrant derivative. During 2013, the Company recognized $1,448,710 of other expense resulting from the increase in the fair value of the warrant liability at September 30, 2013. During three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $523,000 of other income resulting from the decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability at December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company issued a warrant to purchase 14,575,286 shares of common stock as consideration for the exclusive IP license and application development services to IDMC signed on November 11, 2013. The warrant price of twenty cents ($0.20) per share expires November 10, 2018 and the per share price is subject to adjustment. This warrant was not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. This warrant was issued with a down-round provision whereby the exercise price would be adjusted downward in the event that additional shares of the Company’s common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for the Company’s common stock were issued at a price less than the exercise price. Therefore, the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet and are marked to market each reporting period until they are exercised or expire or otherwise extinguished. | |||||||||||||||||
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $510,135 of other expense related to the IDMC warrant. | |||||||||||||||||
The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities. | |||||||||||||||||
REVENUE RECOGNITION – TransTech revenue is derived from other products and services. Revenue is considered realized when the services have been provided to the customer, the work has been accepted by the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Furthermore, if an actual measurement of revenue cannot be determined, we defer all revenue recognition until such time that an actual measurement can be determined. If during the course of a contract management determines that losses are expected to be incurred, such costs are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Revenues are deferred when cash has been received from the customer but the revenue has not been earned. The Sumitomo License fee was recorded as revenue over the life the Joint Development Agreement and was fully recorded as of May 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - The Company has share-based compensation plans under which employees, consultants, suppliers and directors may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period. For options issued to employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit. Grants of stock options and stock to non-employees and other parties are accounted for in accordance with the ASC 505. | |||||||||||||||||
INCOME TAXES - Income tax benefit is based on reported loss before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws where that company operates out of. The Company recognizes refundable and deferred assets to the extent that management has determined their realization. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had refundable tax assets related to TransTech of $30,950 and $29,773, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
NET LOSS PER SHARE – Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2013, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 12,710,000 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 128,072,223 common shares which could potentially dilute future earnings per share As of December 31, 2012, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 5,920,000 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 3,369,050 common shares, and an undetermined number shares of common stock related to convertible debt, which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. | |||||||||||||||||
DIVIDEND POLICY - The Company has never paid any cash dividends and intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities. | |||||||||||||||||
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. | |||||||||||||||||
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |||||||||||||||||
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements. |

4. DEVELOPMENT OF CHROMAID(TM) TECHNOLOGY | ' |
The Company’s ChromaID™ Technology | |
The Company has invented a way to project light at a material (solid surface, liquid, or gas) and measure the amount of light that is reflected back. The pattern of this reflected light is compared to other patterns the company has captured and this allows us to identify, detect, or diagnose materials that cannot be identified by the human eye. The Company refers to this pattern of reflected light as a ChromaID™. The Company designs ChromaID scanning devices made with electronic, optical, and software parts to produce and capture the light. | |
The Company’s first product, the ChromaID F12 Lab Kit, scans and identifies solid surfaces. The Company is marketing this product to customers who are considering licensing the technology.

Determining Fair Value Under ASC 505 | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model for estimating fair value of stock options granted under our plan. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock options on a ratable basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company estimates the volatility of our common stock based on the historical volatility of its own common stock over the most recent period corresponding with the estimated expected life of the award. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and adjusts share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. | ||||||||||||||||||||

The Company entered into an Option Agreement with Ascendiant dated April 26, 2013, pursuant to which we had the option to purchase from Ascendiant 4,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Option Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000. On May 31, 2013, the Company exercised its option to purchase the 4,000,000 Option Shares from Ascendiant and paid to Ascendiant the $300,000 purchase price. The option was required to be exercised and payment for the shares made on or before May 31, 2013. On May 31, 2013, the Company exercised our option to purchase 4,000,000 Option Shares from Ascendiant and paid to Ascendiant the $300,000 purchase price. Ascendiant delivered only 2,284,525 of the 4,000,000 Option Shares purchased by the Company and had failed to deliver the remaining 1,715,475 Option Shares. On June 17, 2013, the Company filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC (“Ascendiant”) in the California Superior Court, County of Orange (Case No. 30-2013-00656770-CU-BC-CJC) for breach of contract, seeking damages, specific performance and injunctive relief against Ascendiant. On September 24, 2013, the California Superior Court granted Visualant’s motion, finding that Visualant was likely to prevail on the merits of its claim against Ascendiant. The Court ordered Ascendiant to deliver 1,715,475 Option Shares to the Company by 4:00PM, September 27, 2013. The delivery occurred on September 27, 2013. The Company expects to pursue its damage claim. | |||||

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Policies) | 3 Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||
Dec. 31, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||
Notes to Financial Statements | ' | ||||||||||||||||
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Inter-Company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit. | |||||||||||||||||
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required. | |||||||||||||||||
INVENTORIES | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Inventories consist primarily of printers and consumable supplies, including ribbons and cards, badge accessories, capture devices, and access control components held for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are considered available for resale when drop shipped and invoiced directly to a customer from a vendor, or when physically received by TransTech at a warehouse location. The company records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory whenever an impairment has been identified. There is a $10,000 reserve for impaired inventory as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
EQUIPMENT | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Equipment consists of machinery, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the relevant asset, generally 2-10 years, except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over 5-20 years. | |||||||||||||||||
INTANGIBLE ASSETS / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company amortizes the intangible assets and intellectual property acquired in connection with the acquisition of TransTech, over sixty months on a straight - line basis, which was the time frame that the management of the Company was able to project forward for future revenue, either under agreement or through expected continued business activities. Intangible assets and intellectual property acquired from RATLab LLC and Javelin are recorded likewise. The Company performs annual assessments and has determined that no impairment is necessary. | |||||||||||||||||
GOODWILL | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. With the adoption of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, but are combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics. Under the criteria set forth by ASC 350, the Company has one reporting unit based on the current structure. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performs annual assessments and has determined that no impairment is necessary. | |||||||||||||||||
LONG-LIVED ASSETS | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results. | |||||||||||||||||
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | ' | ||||||||||||||||
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company issued warrants to 104,600,000 shares of common stock in connection with the June 2013 Private Placement of 52,300,000 shares of common stock. The strike price of these warrants is $0.15 to $0.20 per share. These warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. These warrants were issued with a down-round provision whereby the exercise price would be adjusted downward in the event that additional shares of the Company’s common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for the Company’s common stock were issued at a price less than the exercise price. Therefore, the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet and are marked to market each reporting period until they are exercised or expire or otherwise extinguished. | |||||||||||||||||
The proceeds from the Private Placement were allocated between the Common Shares and the Warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement based upon their estimated fair values as of the closing date at June 14, 2013, resulting in the aggregate amount of $2,494,710 to the Stockholders’ Equity and $2,735,290 to the warrant derivative. During 2013, the Company recognized $1,448,710 of other expense resulting from the increase in the fair value of the warrant liability at September 30, 2013. During three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $523,000 of other income resulting from the decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability at December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company issued a warrant to purchase 14,575,286 shares of common stock as consideration for the exclusive IP license and application development services to IDMC signed on November 11, 2013. The warrant price of twenty cents ($0.20) per share expires November 10, 2018 and the per share price is subject to adjustment. This warrant was not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. This warrant was issued with a down-round provision whereby the exercise price would be adjusted downward in the event that additional shares of the Company’s common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for the Company’s common stock were issued at a price less than the exercise price. Therefore, the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet and are marked to market each reporting period until they are exercised or expire or otherwise extinguished. | |||||||||||||||||
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $510,135 of other expense related to the IDMC warrant. | |||||||||||||||||
The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities. | |||||||||||||||||
REVENUE RECOGNITION | ' | ||||||||||||||||
TransTech revenue is derived from other products and services. Revenue is considered realized when the services have been provided to the customer, the work has been accepted by the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Furthermore, if an actual measurement of revenue cannot be determined, we defer all revenue recognition until such time that an actual measurement can be determined. If during the course of a contract management determines that losses are expected to be incurred, such costs are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Revenues are deferred when cash has been received from the customer but the revenue has not been earned. The Sumitomo License fee was recorded as revenue over the life the Joint Development Agreement and was fully recorded as of May 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company has share-based compensation plans under which employees, consultants, suppliers and directors may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period. For options issued to employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit. Grants of stock options and stock to non-employees and other parties are accounted for in accordance with the ASC 505. | |||||||||||||||||
INCOME TAXES | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Income tax benefit is based on reported loss before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws where that company operates out of. The Company recognizes refundable and deferred assets to the extent that management has determined their realization. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had refundable tax assets related to TransTech of $30,950 and $29,773, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
NET LOSS PER SHARE | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2013, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 12,710,000 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 128,072,223 common shares which could potentially dilute future earnings per share As of December 31, 2012, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 5,920,000 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 3,369,050 common shares, and an undetermined number shares of common stock related to convertible debt, which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. | |||||||||||||||||
DIVIDEND POLICY | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The Company has never paid any cash dividends and intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities. | |||||||||||||||||
USE OF ESTIMATES | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. | |||||||||||||||||
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | ' | ||||||||||||||||
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements. |
