1. ORGANIZATION | Visualant, Incorporated (the Company, Visualant, Inc. or Visualant) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1998. The Company has authorized 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 are shares of voting common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 are shares preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. On July 21, 2015, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Since 2007 the Company has been focused primarily on the development of a proprietary technology which is capable of uniquely identifying and authenticating almost any substance using light at the photon level to detect the unique digital signature of the substance. The Company calls this its ChromaID technology. In 2010, the Company acquired TransTech Systems, Inc. as an adjunct to its business. TransTech is a distributor of products for employee and personnel identification. TransTech currently provides substantially all of the Companys revenues. The Company is in the process of commercializing its ChromaID technology. To date, the Company has entered into one License Agreement with Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd. and has a strategic relationship with Invention Development Management Company, L.L.C. (IDMC). The Company believes that its commercialization success is dependent upon its ability to significantly increase the number of customers that are purchasing and using its products. To date the Company has generated minimal revenue from sales of its ChromaID products. The Company is currently not profitable. Even if the Company succeeds in introducing the ChromaID technology and related products to its target markets, the Company may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability. ChromaID was invented by scientists from the University of Washington under contract with Visualant. The Company has pursued an aggressive intellectual property strategy and have been granted eight patents. The Company also has 22 patents pending. The Company possess all right, title and interest to the issued patents. Ten of the pending patents are licensed exclusively to the Company in perpetuity by the Companys strategic partner, Intellectual Ventures through its subsidiary IDMC. On May 6, 2015, the Companys stockholders approved a reverse split of our common stock, in a ratio to be determined by the Companys Board of Directors, of not less than 1-for-50 nor more than 1-for-150. On June 9, 2015, the Companys Board of Directors determined that the ratio of the reverse split would be 1-for-150. All warrant, option, share and per share information in this Form 10-K gives retroactive effect for a 1-for-150 split with all numbers rounded up to the nearest whole share. |

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 $2,631,037 and $1,017,291 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $(239,877) and $(1,379,397) for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company anticipates that it will record losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2015, the Companys accumulated deficit was $24,166,156. 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, or entities with which he is affiliated. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The audit report prepared by the Companys independent registered public accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2015 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing the substantial doubt about the Companys 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. |

The Company issued warrants to purchase 697,370 shares of common stock in connection with our June 2013 private placement of 348,685 shares of common stock. The exercise price of these warrants is $2.50 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 our common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for the Companys 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 shares of common stock 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 allocated to stockholders equity and $2,735,290 allocated to the warrant derivative. 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.

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 our common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for our common stock were issued at a price less than the exercise price.

4. DEVELOPMENT OF CHROMAID(TM) TECHNOLOGY | The Company is focused primarily on the development of a proprietary technology which is capable of uniquely identifying and authenticating almost any substance using light to create, record and detect the unique digital signature of the substance. The Company calls this its ChromaID technology. The Companys ChromaID Technology The ChromaID technology looks beyond visible light frequencies to areas of near infra-red and ultraviolet light that are outside the humanly visible light spectrum. The data obtained allows the Company to create a very specific and unique ChromaID signature of the substance for a myriad of authentication and verification applications. Traditional light-based identification technology, called spectrophotometry, has relied upon a complex system of prisms, mirrors and visible light. Spectrophotometers typically have a higher cost and utilize a form factor more suited to a laboratory setting and require trained laboratory personnel to interpret the information. The ChromaID technology uses lower cost LEDs and photodiodes and specific frequencies of light resulting in a more accurate, portable and easy-to-use solution for a wide variety of applications. The ChromaID technology not only has significant cost advantages as compared to spectrophotometry, it is also completely flexible is size, shape and configuration. The ChromaID scan head can range in size from endoscopic to a scale that could be the size of a large ceiling-mounted florescent light fixture. In normal operation, a ChromaID master or reference scan is generated and stored in a database. The Visualant scan head can then scan similar materials to identify, authenticate or diagnose them by comparing the new ChromaID digital signature scan to that of the original or reference ChromaID signature or scan result. The following summarizes the Companys plans for its Companys proprietary ChromaID technology. Based on the Companys anticipated expenditures on this technology, the expected efforts of its management and its relationship with Intellectual Ventures and its subsidiary, IDMC, and the Companys other strategic partner, Sumitomo Precision Products, Ltd., the Company expects its ChromaID technology to provide an increasing portion of its revenues in future years from product sales, licenses, royalties and other revenue streams., as discussed further below. ChromaID: A Foundational Platform Technology The Companys ChromaID technology provides a platform upon which a myriad of applications can be developed. As a platform technology, it is analogous to a smartphone, upon which an enormous number of previously unforeseen applications have been developed. The ChromaID technology is an enabling technology that brings the science of light and photonics to low cost, real world commercialization opportunities across multiple industries. The technology is foundational and as such, the basis upon which the Company believes a significant business can be built. As with other foundational technologies, a single application may reach across multiple industries. The ChromaID technology can, for example effectively differentiate and identify different brands of clear vodkas that appear identical to the human eye. By extension this same technology can identify pure water from water with contaminants present. It can provide real time detection of liquid medicines such as morphine that have been adulterated or compromised. It can detect if jet fuel has water contamination present. It could determine when it is time to change oil in a deep fat fryer. These are but a few of the potential applications of the ChromaID technology based upon extensions of its ability to identify different clear liquids. The cornerstone of a company with a foundational platform technology is its intellectual property. ChromaID was invented by scientists from the University of Washington under contract with Visualant. The Company has pursued an aggressive intellectual property strategy and has been granted nine patents. The Company currently have 21 patents pending. The Company possesses all right, title and interest to the issued patents. Ten of the pending patents are licensed exclusively to us in perpetuity by our strategic partner, the IDMC subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures. At the Photonics West trade show held in San Francisco in February 2013, we were honored to receive a PRISM award from the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers International, better known as SPIE. The PRISM awards recognizes photonic products that break with conventional ideas, solve problems, and improve life through the application of light-based technologies. IDMC Relationship In November 2013, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with IDMC, a subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures, a private intellectual property fund with over $5 billion under management. Intellectual Ventures owns over 40,000 IP assets and has broad global relationships for the invention of technology, the filing of patents and the licensing of intellectual property. IDMC has worked to expand the reach and the potential application of the ChromaID technology and has filed ten patents base on the ChromaID technology, which it has licensed to the Company. In connection with IDMCs work to expand the Companys intellectual property portfolio, the Company agreed to curtail outbound marketing activities of its technology through the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014. Initial testing in the Companys laboratories and the work of the IDMC inventors have shown that the ChromaID technology has a number of broad and useful applications a few of which include: · Milk identification for quality, protein and fat content and impurities · Identification of liquids for counterfeits or contaminants · Detecting adulterants in food and food products compromising its quality · Color grading of diamonds · Identifying real cosmetics versus counterfeit cosmetics · Identifying counterfeit medications versus real medications · Identifying regular flour versus gluten free flour · Authenticating secure identification cards Products The Company first delivered product, the ChromaID 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, commercial paint manufacturers, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers, process control companies, currency paper and ink manufacturers, security cards, cosmetic companies, scanner manufactures and food processing companies. The Companys second product, the ChromaID Liquid Lab Kit, scans and identifies liquids. This product is currently in prototype form. Similar to the Companys first product, it will be marketed to customers who are considering licensing the technology. Rather than use an LED emitter to reflect light off of a surface that is captured by a photodiode to generate a ChromaID signature the liquid analysis product shines light through the liquid (transmissive) with the LEDs positioned on one side of the liquid sample and the photo detectors on the opposite side. This device is in a functional state in our laboratory and the Company anticipates having a Liquid ChromaID Lab Kit available for customers by the Company during the fall of 2015. Target markets include, but are not limited to, water companies, petrochemical companies, pharmaceutical companies, and numerous consumer applications. The ChromaID Lab Kits allows potential licensors of our technology to work with our technology and develop solutions for their particular application. Our contractual arrangements with IDMC are described in greater detail below. Our Commercialization Plans for the ChromaID Technology. The Company shipped its first ChromaID product, the ChromaID Lab Kits, to our strategic partner IDMC during the last calendar quarter of 2013 and first calendar quarter of 2014, after we completed final assembly and testing. As part of the Companys agreement with IDMC, the Company curtailed its ChromaID marketing efforts through the fourth calendar quarter of 2014 while IDMC worked to expand our intellectual property portfolio. Thereafter, the Company began to actively market the ChromaID Lab Kits to interested and qualified customers. Some ChromaID Lab Kits are provided free of charge to potential customers. Others are sold for a modest price. To date, the Company has achieved limited revenue from the sale of our ChromaID Lab Kits. The Lab Kit includes the following: ChromaID Scanner ChromaID Lab Software Software Development Toolkit · Sales of the ChromaID Lab Kit and ChromaID Liquid Lab Kit · Non Recurring Engineering (NRE) fees to assist customers with scan integration into their products · Licensing of the ChromaID technology · Royalties per unit generated from the sales of scan heads · Per click transaction revenue from accessing the unique ChromaID signatures · Developing custom product applications for customers · ChromaID database administration and management services The Companys Acceleration of Business Development in the United States and Around the World There is no requirement for FDA or other government approval for the current applications of our ChromaID technology. Over time, as the Company explores the application of its ChromaID technology for medical diagnostics and other applications, the Company expects that there will be requirements for FDA and other government approvals before applications using the technology in medical and other regulated fields can enter the marketplace. Research and Development The Companys research and development efforts are primarily focused improving the core foundational ChromaID technology and developing new and unique applications for the technology. As part of this effort, the Company typically conduct testing to ensure that ChromaID application methods are compatible with the customers requirements, and that they can be implemented in a cost effective manner. The Company is also actively involved in identifying new application methods. Visualants team has considerable experience working with the application of light-based technologies and their application to various industries. The Company believes that its continued development of new and enhanced technologies relating to our core business is essential to its future success. The Company spent $362,661 and $670,742 during the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, on research and development activities. The Companys research and development efforts are supported internally, through its relationship with IDMC and through contractors led by Dr. Tom Furness and his team at RATLab LLC. The Companys Patents The Company believes that its nine patents, 21 patent applications, and two registered trademarks, and our trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights are important assets. The Companys patents will expire at various times between 2027 and 2033. The duration of the Companys trademark registrations varies from country to country.

15. STOCK OPTIONS | Description of Stock Option Plan On April 29, 2011, the Companys 2011 Stock Incentive Plan was approved at the Annual Stockholder Meeting. The Company was authorized to issue options for, and has reserved for issuance, up to 46,667 shares of common stock under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. On March 21, 2013, an amendment to the Stock Option Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company, increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan to 93,333 shares. 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. Stock Option Activity The Company had the following stock option transactions during the year ended September 30, 2015: During the year ended September 30, 2015, twelve employees and directors, forfeited stock option grants for 41,621 shares of common stock at $18.29 per share.

Pretax losses arising from United States operations were approximately $773,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015. Pretax losses arising from United States operations were approximately $835,000 for the year ended September 30, 2014. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in its stock ownership. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to utilize any net operating loss carryforwards in the future. For the year ended September 30, 2015, the Companys effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate principally due to net operating losses and warrants issued for services. The principal components of the Companys deferred tax assets at September 30, 2015 are as follows: 2015 2014 U.S. operations loss carry forward at statutory rate of 34% $ (6,426,360 ) $ (6,163,645 ) Non-U.S. operations loss carry forward at statutory rate of 20.5% 0 0 Total (6,426,360 ) (6,163,645 ) Less Valuation Allowance 6,426,360 6,163,645 Net Deferred Tax Assets - - Change in Valuation allowance $ 6,426,360 $ 6,163,645 A reconciliation of the United States Federal Statutory rate to the Companys effective tax rate for the period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: 2015 2014 Federal Statutory Rate -34.0 % -34.0 % Increase in Income Taxes Resulting from: Change in Valuation allowance 34.0 % 34.0 % Effective Tax Rate 0.0 % 0.0 % |

Sep. 30, 2015 | |
Notes to Financial Statements | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). |
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, TransTech Systems, Inc. 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 $20,000 and $10,000 reserve for impaired inventory as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
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 amortized 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. On June 7, 2011, the Company closed the acquisition of all Visualant related assets of the RATLab LLC, namely the rights to the medical field of use of the Chroma ID technology. On July 31, 2012, the Company closed the acquisition of all rights to the ChromaID technology in the environmental field of use from Javelin LLC. |
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 units 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 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. Derivative Instruments Warrants with the June 2013 Private Placement Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows: Carrying Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Amount at Financial Instruments Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 September 30, 2015 Liabilities: Derivative Instruments - Warrants $ - $ 2,196,716 $ - $ 2,196,716 Total $ - $ 2,196,716 $ - $ 2,196,716 September 30, 2015 Market price and estimated fair value of common stock: $ 5.600 Exercise price 2.50 Expected term (years) 0.25 Dividend yield - Expected volatility 105.1 % Risk-free interest rate 0.001 % The risk-free rate of return reflects the interest rate for the United States Treasury Note with similar time-to-maturity to that of the warrants. The Company issued warrants to purchase 697,370 shares of common stock in connection with our June 2013 private placement of 348,685 shares of common stock. The exercise price of these warrants is $2.50 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 our common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for the Companys 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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION | Visualant and TransTech revenue are derived from products and services. Revenue is considered realized when the products or 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, the Company defers 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. |
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 taxes are calculated based upon the asset and liability method of accounting. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the more likely than not standard to allow for recognition of such an asset. In addition, realization of an uncertain income tax position must be estimated as more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements . The Company recognizes refundable and deferred assets to the extent that management has determined their realization. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had refundable tax assets related to TransTech of $0 and $29,590, 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 September 30, 2015, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 57,407 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 899,750 common shares, 11,667 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, up to 34,871 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of placement agent warrants and an unknown number of shares related to the conversion of $109,000 in convertible promissory notes which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. As of September 30, 2014, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 87,333 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 857,083 common shares and up to 34,871 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of placement agent warrants and an unknown number of shares related to the conversion of $166,500 in convertible promissory notes 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. In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15Presentation of Financial StatementsGoing Concern (ASC Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Section ASummary and Amendments That Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred CostsContracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40), Section BConforming Amendments to Other Topics and Subtopics in the Codification and Status Tables, Section CBackground Information and Basis for Conclusions.
