Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN | NOTE 1 : We have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses in the future, which could negatively impact the trading value of our common stock. We incurred losses from operations of $15,029,395 for the year ended December 31, 2020, $43,747,375 for the year ended December 31, 2019. We may continue to incur operating and net losses in future periods. These losses may increase, and we may never achieve profitability for a variety of reasons, including increased competition, decreased growth in the unified advertising industry and other factors described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section. If we cannot achieve sustained profitability, our stockholders may lose all or a portion of their investment in our company. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The recently acquired Advangelists LLC has also incurred losses and experienced negative cash flows from operations during the most recent fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of management to raise additional capital through private and public offerings of its common stock, and the attainment of profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Reverse stock-split On September 2, 2020, the Company amended and restated certificate of incorporation to implement a 1 for 400 reverse stock- split of its common stock. The reverse stock split did not cause an adjustment to the par value of common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company adjusted the share amounts under its employee incentive plans, outstanding options and common stock warrant agreements, treasury shares and preferred shares. |

Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Financing Plans Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows: In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan related to technology. Management will continue to seek out equity and/or debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders and investors will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company that will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s efforts to raise equity and debt at acceptable terms or that the planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations. Related Parties Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. We disclose related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries or board of director fees. We consider the following individuals / companies to be related parties: Dean Julia - Principal Executive Officer President and Director Sean McDonnell - Chief Financial Officer Sean Trepeta – Board of Directors Dr. Eugene Salkind – Board of Directors PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobiquity Networks, Inc. and Advangelists, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less, as well as bank money market accounts, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the balances are $602,182 and $1,240,064, respectively. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, consequently, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Our current receivables at December 31, 2020 consist of 58.3% held by six of our largest customers. Our December 31, 2019, receivables consist of 47% held by four of our largest customers. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company maintains bank account balances, which exceed FDIC limits. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company exceeded FDIC limits by $114,986 and $749,037, respectively. REVENUE RECOGNITION – On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), to update the financial reporting requirements for revenue recognition. Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018, and entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2018. In preparation for adoption of the standard, the Company evaluated each of the five steps in Topic 606, which are as follows: 1) Identify the contract with the customer; 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Reported revenue was not affected materially in any period due to the adoption of ASC Topic 606 because: (1) the Company expects to identify similar performance obligations under Topic 606 as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified; (2) the Company has determined the transaction price to be consistent; and (3) the Company records revenue at the same point in time, upon delivery of services, under both ASC Topic 605 and Topic 606, as applicable under the terms of the contract with the customer. Additionally, the Company does not expect the accounting for fulfillment costs or costs incurred to obtain a contract to be affected materially in any period due to the adoption of Topic 606. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Management must make estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts were $386,600 and $80,600, respectively. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is expensed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining term of the lease. The costs of additions and improvements, which substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and the gain or loss on disposition is reflected in operating income. LONG LIVED ASSETS – In accordance with ASC 360, “ Property, Plant and Equipment ”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value The Company recognized a four million dollar write down loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the period ended December 31, 2020. Transactions with major customers During the year ended December 31, 2020, six customers accounted for approximately 58% of revenues and for the year ended December 31, 2019, four customers accounted for 47% our revenues. ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were advertising costs of $1,400 and $70,042, respectively. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”) and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed (“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 7 “Stock Option Plans” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a more detailed discussion. BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURES - Debt instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as deemed interest to the holders of the convertible debt instruments. The beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair values of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the debt instrument limited to the value received. INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities for which income tax or tax benefits are expected to be realized in future years. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS We adopted the lease standard ACS 842 effective January 1, 2019 and have elected to use January 1, 2019 as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for periods presented before January 1, 2019 as these prior periods conform to the Accounting Standards Codification 840. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. As of December 10, 2019, we are not a lessor or lessee under any lease arrangements. We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration. The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or result of operations. NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 748,505 because they are anti-dilutive, as a result of a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. |

Interest on the Notes is payable in cash, or, at the Lenders’ option, in shares of the Company’s common stock. The principal amount due under the Notes will be payable on September 30, 2029, unless earlier converted pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Subject to the Company obtaining prior approval from the Company’s shareholders for the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Notes, if and to the extent required by the New York Business Corporation Law, the Notes will be convertible into equity of the Company upon the following events on the following terms: · At any time at the option of the Lenders, the outstanding principal under the Notes will be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $32.00 per post-split share (the “Conversion Price”). · at any time that the trailing thirty (30) day volume weighted average price per share (as more particularly described in the Notes) of the Company’s common stock is above $400.00 per post-split share, until the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company may convert the entire unpaid un-converted principal amount of the Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price. The Notes contain customary events of default, which, if uncured, entitle the Lenders thereof to accelerate the due date of the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, their Notes. In connection with the subscription of the Notes, the Company issued to each Lender a warrant to purchase 400 post-split shares of the Company’s common stock for every two shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, at an exercise price of $48.00 per post-split share (the “Lender Warrants”).

In connection with the Katyal Amendment, on September 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Class B Preferred stock Redemption Agreement (the “Katyal Redemption Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company redeemed the Company’s Class B Stock owned by Katyal. In May 2019, the Company assumed a promissory note (the “AVNG Note”) payable to Deepankar Katyal (the “Payee”), as representative of the former owners of AVNG, which at the time of assumption had a remaining principal balance of $7,512,500. Simultaneously with the assumption of the AVNG Note, the AVNG Note was amended and restated as disclosed in the May 8-K (the “First Amended AVNG Note”). Effective as of September 13, 2019, the Company and Payee entered into a Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Second Amended AVNG Note”), in the principal amount of $6,750,000, pursuant to which the repayment terms under the First Amended AVNG Note were amended and restated as follows: · $5,250,000 of the principal balance remaining due under the Second Amended AVNG Note is payable by the delivery of (i) 65,625 shares of the Company’s newly designated Class E Preferred Stock, which is convertible into 164,063 shares the Company’s post-split common stock, and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase 82,032 shares of the Company’s post-split common stock, at an exercise price of $48.00 per share (the “AVNG Warrant”). · $1,530,000 of the principal balance, inclusive of all accrued and unpaid interest, remaining due under the Second Amended AVNG Note in three equal consecutive monthly installments of $510,000, commencing on September 15, 2019 and on the 15 th The Second Amended AVNG Note provides that upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Second Amended AVNG Note), and upon the election of the Payee, (i) the shares of Class E Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended AVNG Note, and any shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon the conversion of the Class E Preferred Stock, shall be cancelled and cease to issued and outstanding, (ii) the AVNG Warrants (as defined below), to the extent unexercised, shall be cancelled, and (iii) the Second Amended AVNG Note shall be cancelled and the repayment of the principal amount remaining due to Payee shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the First Amended AVNG Note. Merger Mobiquity entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Glen Eagles Acquisition LP (“GEAL”) (which at the time owned 412,000 post-split shares of common stock of Mobiquity, equivalent to approximately 29.6% of the outstanding shares), AVNG Acquisition Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and Advangelists, LLC (“Advangelists”) on November 20, 2018 which provided for Merger Sub to merge into Advangelists, with Advangelists as the surviving company following the merger. On December 6, 2018, Mobiquity and the other parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendment”) which amended the Merger Agreement as follows: · The number of warrants to purchase shares of Mobiquity’s common stock issuable as part of the merger consideration was changed from 225,000 post-split shares to 269,385 post-split shares, and the exercise price of the warrants was changed from $36.00 per share to $56.00 per share; and · The number of shares of Gopher Protocol Inc.’s common stock to be transferred by Mobiquity as part of the merger consideration changed from 11,111,111 to 9,209,722 shares. Under the Merger Agreement and the Amendment, in consideration for the Merger: · Mobiquity issued warrants for 269,384 post-split shares of Mobiquity common stock at an exercise price of $56.00 per share and, subject to the vesting threshold described below, Mobiquity transferred 9,209,722 shares of Gopher Protocol, Inc. common stock, to the pre-merger Advangelists members. The Gopher common stock was unvested at the time of transfer subject to vesting in February 2019 only if Advangelists’ combined revenues for the months of December 2018 and January 2019 were at least $250,000. The vesting threshold was met. · GEAL paid the pre-merger Advangelists members $10 million in cash. $500,000 was paid at closing and $9,500,000 will be paid under a promissory note that was issued at closing, in 19 monthly installments of $500,000 each, commencing on January 6, 2019. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on December 7, 2018 upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger by Advangelists. As a result of the merger, Mobiquity owned 48% and GEAL owned 52% of Advangelists; and Mobiquity is the sole manager of, and controls, Advangelists at that time. As a result of Mobiquity having 100% control over Advangelists as of December 31, 2018, ASC 810-10-05-3 states “that for LLCs with managing and non-managing members, a managing member is the functional equivalent of a general partner and a non-managing member is the functional equivalent of a limited partner. In this case, a reporting entity with an interest in an LLC (which is not a VIE) would likely apply the consolidation model for limited partnerships if the managing member has the right to make the significant operating and financial decisions of the LLC.” In this case Mobiquity has the right to make the significant operating and financial decisions of Advangelists resulting in consolidation of Advangelists. On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with GEAL, pursuant to which the Company acquired from GEAL 3% of the membership interests of Advangelists, for cash in the amount of $600,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid by the Company to GEAL on May 3, 2019. As a result of the Transaction, the Company then owned 51% of the membership interests of Advangelists, with GEAL owning 49% of the membership interests of Advangelists. On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into a Membership Purchase Agreement effective as of May 8, 2019 with Gopher Protocol, Inc. to acquire the 49% interest of Advangelists, which it contemporaneously purchased from GEAL. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of Advangelists’s Membership Interests. The acquisition of the 49% of Advangelists membership interests was accomplished in a transaction involving Mobiquity, Glen Eagles Acquisition LP, and Gopher Protocol, Inc.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually on December 31 st Our goodwill balance is not amortized to expense, instead it is tested for impairment at least annually. We perform our annual goodwill impairment analysis at the end of the fourth quarter. If events or indicators of impairment occur between annual impairment analyses, we perform an impairment analysis of goodwill at that date. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant asset. In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, we: (1) verify there are no changes to our reporting units with goodwill balances; (2) allocate goodwill to our various reporting units to which the acquired goodwill relates; (3) determine the carrying value, or book value, of our reporting units, as some of the assets and liabilities related to each reporting unit are held by a corporate function; (4) estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model; (5) reconcile the fair value of our reporting units in total to our market capitalization adjusted for a subjectively estimated control premium and other identifiable factors; (6) compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value; and (7) if the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, we must estimate the fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation for an acquired business to calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and recognize an impairment charge if the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than the carrying value. There were no impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2019 and in 2020 the impairment cost was $4,000,000. Intangible Assets At each balance sheet date herein, definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years. The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they will be removed from the accounts. These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. The Company has no intangibles with indefinite lives.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
STOCK OPTION PLANS | NOTE 8: STOCK OPTION PLANS During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”) for the granting of up to 5,000 post-split non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 10,000 post-split shares. During Fiscal 2009, the Company established a plan of long-term stock-based compensation incentives for selected Eligible Participants of the Company covering 10,0000 post-split shares. This plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by stockholders in October 2009 and shall be known as the 2009 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan”). In September 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares covered by the 2009 Plan to 25,000 post-split shares. In February 2015, the Board approved, subject to stockholder approval within one year, an increase in the number of shares under the 2009 Plan to 50,000 post-split shares; however, stockholder approval was not obtained within the requisite one year and the anticipated increase in the 2009 Plan was canceled. In the first quarter of 2016, the Board approved, and stockholders ratified a 2016 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan covering 25,000 post-split shares (the “2016 Plan”) and approving moving all options which exceeded the 2009 Plan limits to the 2016 Plan. In December 2018, the Board of Directors adopted and in February 2019. the stockholders ratified the 2018 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan covering 75,000 post-split shares (the “2018 Plan”). On April 2, 2019, the Board approved the “2019 Plan” identical to the 2018 Plan, except that the 2019 Plan covers 150,000 post-split shares. The 2019 Plan required stockholder approval by April 2, 2020 in order to be able to grant incentive stock options under the 2019 Plan. The 2005, 2009, 2016, 2018 and 2019 plans are collectively referred to as the “Plans.” All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For option grants, the Company will take into consideration payments subject to Years Ended 2020 2019 Expected volatility 592.89% 242.39% Expected dividend yield – – Risk-free interest rate 0.74% 2.32% Expected term (in years) 5.00 6.00 Share Weighted Weighted Aggregate Intrinsic Outstanding, January 1, 2020 281,000 $ 48.00 6.15 $ 769,500 Granted 25,313 35.75 – – Exercised – – – – Cancelled & Expired (3,468 ) – – – Outstanding, December 31, 2020 302,845 $ 45.85 4.65 $ – Options exercisable, December 31, 2020 281,869 $ 45.78 5.10 $ – The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $35.75 and $52.00, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at December 31, 2020 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $6.75 closing price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards is $1,093,630. The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair value of warrants granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Expected volatility 449.47%. 164.85% Expected dividend yield – – Risk-free interest rate 0.91% 7.48% Expected term (in years) 5.83 3.20 Share Weighted Weighted Aggregate Intrinsic Outstanding, January 1, 2020 642,620 $ 44.00 5.81 $ 2,500,502 Granted 30,638 – – – Exercised (33,138 ) – – – Expired (173,484 ) – – – Outstanding, December 31, 2020 466,636 $ 52.52 6.31 $ – Warrants exercisable, December 31, 2020 466,636 $ 52.52 6.31 $ – |

Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Financing Plans Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows: In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan related to technology. Management will continue to seek out equity and/or debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders and investors will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company that will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s efforts to raise equity and debt at acceptable terms or that the planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.

ESTIMATES | ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less, as well as bank money market accounts, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the balances are $602,182 and $1,240,064, respectively. |
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK | CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, consequently, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Our current receivables at December 31, 2020 consist of 58.3% held by six of our largest customers. Our December 31, 2019, receivables consist of 47% held by four of our largest customers. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company maintains bank account balances, which exceed FDIC limits. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company exceeded FDIC limits by $114,986 and $749,037, respectively. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | REVENUE RECOGNITION – On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), to update the financial reporting requirements for revenue recognition. Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018, and entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2018. In preparation for adoption of the standard, the Company evaluated each of the five steps in Topic 606, which are as follows: 1) Identify the contract with the customer; 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Reported revenue was not affected materially in any period due to the adoption of ASC Topic 606 because: (1) the Company expects to identify similar performance obligations under Topic 606 as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified; (2) the Company has determined the transaction price to be consistent; and (3) the Company records revenue at the same point in time, upon delivery of services, under both ASC Topic 605 and Topic 606, as applicable under the terms of the contract with the customer. Additionally, the Company does not expect the accounting for fulfillment costs or costs incurred to obtain a contract to be affected materially in any period due to the adoption of Topic 606. |
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS | ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Management must make estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts were $386,600 and $80,600, respectively. |
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is expensed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining term of the lease. The costs of additions and improvements, which substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and the gain or loss on disposition is reflected in operating income. |
LONG-LIVED ASSETS | LONG LIVED ASSETS – In accordance with ASC 360, “ Property, Plant and Equipment ”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The Company recognized a four million dollar write down loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the period ended December 31, 2020. Transactions with major customers During the year ended December 31, 2020, six customers accounted for approximately 58% of revenues and for the year ended December 31, 2019, four customers accounted for 47% our revenues. |
ADVERTISING COSTS | ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were advertising costs of $1,400 and $70,042, respectively. |
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION | ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”) and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed (“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 7 “Stock Option Plans” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a more detailed discussion. |
BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURES | BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURES - Debt instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as deemed interest to the holders of the convertible debt instruments. The beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair values of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the debt instrument limited to the value received. |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities for which income tax or tax benefits are expected to be realized in future years. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS We adopted the lease standard ACS 842 effective January 1, 2019 and have elected to use January 1, 2019 as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for periods presented before January 1, 2019 as these prior periods conform to the Accounting Standards Codification 840. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. As of December 10, 2019, we are not a lessor or lessee under any lease arrangements. We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration. The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or result of operations. |
NET LOSS PER SHARE | NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 748,505 because they are anti-dilutive, as a result of a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. |
