Going Concern |
|
|
|
Our accompanying financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have stockholder and working capital deficits at December 31, 2014. While a significant portion of (i) our net loss resulted from non-cash expenses, and (ii) our liabilities (i.e. the shareholder advance and approximately one half of our deferred revenues) are not expected to result in the outlay of cash in 2015) we recognize we will ultimately either need to increase revenues and/or raise additional debt or equity capital to sustain our operations. We plan to continue close monitoring of general and administrative expenses in 2015, and may seek to reduce such expenses and we are also investigating the possibility of investing in an alternative business model. Absent our ability to be successful in such endeavors, we may seek to raise capital from existing shareholders. While we believe we will generate adequate cash to meet our commitments in 2015, there can be no assurance that our beliefs will come to fruition in which case we would most likely have difficulty continuing as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern |

|
Revenue Recognition |
|
|
|
In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price to the student is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for our various revenue streams: |
|
|
|
· |
|
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or the service is performed. Provision for sales returns are estimated based on the Company’s historical return experience; however sales returns have not been significant due to the nature of the services we provide. |
|
Deferred revenue is recorded for amounts received in advance of the time at which services are performed and included in revenue at the completion of the related services |
|
|
|
Statements of Cash Flows |
|
|
|
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
|
|
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
|
|
Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customer net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances. There was no allowance at December 31, 2014 and 2013. |
|
|
|
Spare Parts and Supplies |
|
|
|
Spare parts and supplies are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 spare parts and supplies include $143,369 and $138,065 respectively, of spare parts and tires used in the racecar operations, and finished goods (which are primarily promotional items that bear our logo), of $5,179 and $2,585, respectively. |

|
|
Race Car Held For Sale |
|
|
|
In the fourth quarter of 2014, we made the decision to sell our exotic race car. Because we sold the car in January 2015 for an amount approximating the net book value of the asset, such net book value was reclassified from property and equipment to current assets at December 31, 2014. |
|
|
|
Property and Equipment |
|
|
|
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from 3 to 10 years. Major additions are capitalized, while minor additions and maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, are expensed as incurred. |
|
|
|
Long Lived Assets |
|
|
|
We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. No such impairment losses have been identified by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain 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. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses may be affected by the estimates management is required to make. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
|
|
Advertising Costs |
|
|
|
Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place. Advertising costs charged to operations were $223,873 and $372,419 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
At December 31, 2014, our short-term financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, the advance from shareholder and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. |
|
|
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and periodically throughout such years, balances in various operating accounts exceeded federally insured limits. We monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions in which we maintain cash balances and we have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor do we hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments. |
|
|
|
Segment Information |
|
|
|
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting. Under ASC 280-10, certain information is disclosed based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. We currently operate in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements if we expand our operations. |
|
|
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
We compute income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC-740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. |
|
|
|
We follow guidance in FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. |
|
|
|
We do not believe we have taken any uncertain tax positions on any of our open income tax returns filed through the year ended December 31, 2014. Our methods of tax accounting are based on established income tax principles in the Internal Revenue Code and are properly calculated and reflected within our income tax returns. Due to the carryforwards of net operating losses, all of our federal and state income tax returns remain subject to audit. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
We recognize stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements. It establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions. |
|
|
|
Net Loss Per Common Share |
|
|
|
We calculate net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. |
|
|
|
During periods in which we incur losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 we had no dilutive shares outstanding. . |
|
|
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
We do not believe any recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on our financial statements. |
|
|
|
Reclassification |
|
|
|
One amount in the 2013 statement of operations was reclassified to conform to the presentation in the 2014 financial statements. |
