BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ' |
Principles of Consolidation | ' |
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Reclassifications | ' |
Reclassifications |
Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to December 31, 2013 amounts. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or shareholders' deficit. |
Going Concern | ' |
Going Concern |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had net losses and net cash used in operating activities of $7,108,819 and $2,700,609, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 2013. The Company also had an accumulated deficit of $47,921,946 at September 30, 2013. For the six months ended December 31, 2013 the Company had a net loss of $5,905,008 and net cash used in operations of $1,261,853. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
|
Management has established plans intended to increase the sales of our products and services. Management intends to seek new capital from new equity securities offerings to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund growth, and implement its business plan. However, no assurances can be given that we will be able to raise any additional funds. |
Marketable Securities | ' |
Marketable Securities |
IceWEB accounts for the purchase of marketable equity securities in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, "Investment - Debt and Equity Securities" with any unrealized gains and losses included as a net amount as a separate component of stockholders' equity. However, those securities may not have the trading volume to support the stock price if the Company were to sell all their shares in the open market at once, so the Company may have a loss on the sale of marketable securities even though they record marketable equity securities at the current market value. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 balance sheets and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of stock-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the impairment of intangibles, the useful life of property and equipment, derivative liabilities, and litigation reserves. |
Accounts Receivable | ' |
Accounts Receivable |
Accounts receivable consists of normal trade receivables. We recorded a bad debt allowance of $32,333 as of December 31, 2013. Management performs ongoing evaluations of its accounts receivable, and believes that all remaining receivables are fully collectable. Bad debt expense amounted to $114,918 and $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Inventory | ' |
Inventory |
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, on an average cost basis. |
Derivative Liability | ' |
Derivative Liability |
The Company issued warrants to purchase the Company's common stock in connection with the issuance of convertible debt, which contain certain ratchet provisions that reduce the exercise price of the warrants or the conversion price in certain circumstances. In accordance with ASC 815 the Company determined that the warrants and/or the conversion features with provisions that reduce the exercise price of the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as they were determined not to be indexed to the Company's stock. |
|
Derivatives are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value (see Note 13). These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in the Company's structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on the Company's balance sheet. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates. |
Fair Value Measurements | ' |
Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value is defined 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. The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
|
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services. |
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. |
|
Our derivative financial instruments, consisting of embedded conversion features in our convertible debt, which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under FASB ASC 815 as of December 31, 2013 are measured at fair value, using a Black-Scholes valuation model which approximates a binomial lattice valuation methodology utilizing Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities (see Note 12). |
Other Receivables | ' |
Other Receivables |
We have a purchase order arrangement with a key vendor that provides us the flexibility to make purchases of inventory components on credit with our customer remitting payment to the vendor. This arrangement provides us with the cash needed to finance certain of our on-going costs and expenses, and provides that we collect on our receivables once the vendor has been paid. This vendor had collected $1,461 on our behalf that had not been remitted to us as of December 31, 2013. |
Property and Equipment | ' |
Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. |
Product Warranties | ' |
Product Warranties |
The Company's products typically carry a warranty for periods of up to three years. We have not had any significant warranty claims on our products. |
Software Development Costs | ' |
Software Development Costs |
The costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized in accordance with the accounting guidance for software. |
|
Because our current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility, which occurs upon the completion of a working model, no costs have been capitalized for any of the periods presented. |
Long-lived Assets | ' |
Long-lived Assets |
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" (formerly SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"), we review the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value. |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
We follow the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition") for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
It is our customary business practice to obtain a signed master sales agreement for recurring revenue sales, and/or a sales order for events and one-time services. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are reported on a net basis and are excluded from revenue. |
|
We derive the majority of our revenues from recurring revenue streams, consisting primarily of: |
|
(1) Wireless and fiber broadband service ; |
(2) co-location, which includes the licensing of cabinet space and power; |
(3) interconnection services, such as cross connects; |
(4) managed infrastructure services. |
|
· |
Revenues from recurring revenue streams are generally billed monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the contract, generally one to three years for data center space customers. We generally recognize revenue beginning on the date the customer commences use of our services. |
· |
Implementation and set-up fees are recognized at the time those services are completed, unless prior agreement was made for interim billings (for work completed). |
· |
For services that are billed according to customer usage, revenue is recognized in the month in which the usage is provided. |
· |
Professional services are recognized in the period services are provided. |
· |
Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and revenue. |
|
Our customers generally have the right to cancel their contracts by providing prior written notice to us of their intent to cancel the remainder of the contract term. The customer would be required to pay any charge for early cancellation that their contract specifies. In the event that a customer cancels their contract, they are not entitled to a refund for services already rendered. A customer can continue service on a month-to-month basis after their contract expires. |
Advertising | ' |
Advertising |
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $2,352 and $154,046 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Barter Transactions | ' |
Barter Transactions |
Barter activity is accounted for in accordance with ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions. Barter revenue relates to the exchange of wireless bandwidth and internet connectivity provided by CTC to business customers in exchange primarily for roof rights for antennae, advertising and other products and services that CTC would otherwise be required to buy for cash. Barter expenses reflect the expense offset to barter revenue. The amount of barter revenue and expense is recorded at the estimated fair value of the services received or the services provided, whichever is more objectively determinable, in the month the services are exchanged. |
Prepaid expenses | ' |
Prepaid expenses |
Prepaid expenses are comprised primarily of prepaid costs related to the installation of new customers, prepaid advertising costs which are expensed when used, and deferred financing costs which are amortized over the life of the related financing. |
Deferred Revenue | ' |
Deferred Revenue |
Amounts billed in advance of services being provided are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as services are provided. |
Deferred Financing Costs | ' |
Deferred Financing Costs |
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized amounts are included in prepaid expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |
Earnings per Share | ' |
Earnings per Share |
We compute earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share" Under the provisions of ASC Topic 260, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and upon the conversion of convertible notes and preferred stock (using the if-converted method). Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the calculation if their effect is antidilutive. At September 30, 2013, there were options and warrants to purchase 106,238,245 shares of common stock, and 626,667 shares issuable upon conversion of Series B preferred stock outstanding which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. |
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation |
As more fully described in Note 16, we have two stock option plans that provide for non-qualified options to be issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants (the 2012 Equity Compensation Plan and the 2013 Equity Plan (the "Plans"). |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
|
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income and Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The adoption of these amended standards impacted the presentation of other comprehensive income, as the Company elected to present two separate but consecutive statements, but did not impact our financial position or results of operations. |
|
Various accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |
