NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' |
Business and Basis of Presentation |
|
EnerTeck Corporation, formerly Gold Bond Resources, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on July 30, 1935. On January 9, 2003, the Company acquired EnerTeck Chemical Corp. ("EnerTeck Sub") as its wholly owned operating subsidiary. As a result of the acquisition, the Company is now acting as a holding company, with EnerTeck Sub as its only operating business. Subsequent to this transaction, on November 24, 2003, the Company changed its domicile from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware, changed its name from Gold Bond Resources, Inc. to EnerTeck Corporation. |
|
EnerTeck Sub, the Company's wholly owned operating subsidiary is a Houston-based corporation. It was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 29, 2000 and was formed for the purpose of commercializing a diesel fuel specific combustion catalyst known as EnerBurn (TM), as well as other combustion enhancement and emission reduction technologies for diesel fuel. EnerTeck's primary product is EnerBurn, and is registered for highway use in all USA diesel applications. The products are used primarily in on-road vehicles, locomotives and diesel marine engines throughout the United States and select foreign markets. |
|
During 2012, EnerTeck acquired a 40% membership interest in EnerTeck Environmental, LLC (Environmental). Environmental was formed for the purpose of marketing and selling diesel fuel emission reduction technology with the creators of such specific technology. Environmental is working with Ingram Barge and is in the process of testing the prototype of the patent pending PEx technology for marine diesel engines. Testing was completed late in the fourth quarter of 2013. The results are now in the hands of the testing company for final analysis and the PEx technology is pending approval from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EnerTeck Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerTeck Chemical Corp. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. |
|
Inventory |
|
Inventory primarily consists of market ready EnerBurn plus raw materials required to manufacture the products. Inventory has been valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method. |
|
Included in inventory at December 31, 2010, were three large Hammonds EnerBurn doser systems amounting to $57,000 which were projected to be transferred to marine customers during 2010, but in 2011 were traded for injection units which are more universally adaptable to other customers. Included in inventory at December 31, 2013 and 2012, are various injector units and R & D Equipment amounting to $65,000 and $77,000, respectively. Testing of our newly developed Marine PEX beta unit which is currently included in Inventory was originally scheduled to occur prior to the end of the second quarter of 2013. This was delayed due to monitoring equipment requirements requested by the California Air Resources Board regulations and testing was completed late in the fourth quarter of 2013. The results are now in the hands of the testing company for final analysis and presentation to the California Air Resources Board (CARB). |
|
Finished product amounted to approximately $72,000 and $95,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively: the remaining inventory comprises raw materials. |
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
Accounts receivable represent uncollateralized obligations due from customers of the Company and are recorded at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. The Company calculates this allowance based on historical write-offs, level of past due accounts and relationships with and economic status of the customers. Accounts are written off as bad debts when all collection efforts have failed and the account is deemed uncollectible. Management has provided allowances for doubtful accounts of $9,863 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. |
|
Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The average lives range from five (5) to ten (10) years. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $35,248 and $47,742 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
|
Intangible Assets |
|
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FASB ASC 350 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Specifically, FASB ASC 350 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition, as well as how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The statement requires the Company to evaluate its intellectual property each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite life. In addition, the Company tests its intellectual property for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The statement requires intangible assets with finite lives to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable and that a loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible exceeds its fair value. |
|
Intellectual property and other intangibles are recorded at cost. Prior to 2009, the Company determined that its intellectual property had an indefinite life because it believed there was no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factor to limit its useful life, and therefore would not be amortized. For other intangibles, amortization would be computed on the straight-line method over the identifiable lives of the assets. Management made the decision during 2009 to change the characterization of its intellectual property to a finite-lived asset and to amortize the remaining balance of its intangible asset to the nominal value of $150,000 by the end of 2012, due to its determination that this now represented the scheduled end of its exclusive registration during that year. |
|
As a result of a review by management of its intangible asset and policies related thereto as of December 31, 2010, it was determined that a further impairment was required to be recorded. This impairment served to reduce its intellectual property to an amount which management believes represents its fair value. This value would be considered a level 3 measurement under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, since it is based on significant unobservable inputs. The Company will re-assess the value of this asset in future periods and make adjustments as considered necessary, rather than record additional amortization. No adjustment was considered necessary during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and recognizes revenues when evidence of a completed transaction and customer acceptance exists, and when title passes, if applicable. |
|
Revenues from sales of product and equipment are recognized at the point when a customer order has been shipped and invoiced. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
EnerTeck will compute income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on evidence from prior years, may not be realized over the next calendar year or for some years thereafter. |
|
The current and deferred tax provisions in the financial statements include consideration of uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Management believes there are no significant uncertain tax positions, so no adjustments have been reported from adoption of FASB ASC 740. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the Internal Revenue Service for years prior to 2010. For state tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009. |
|
Income (Loss) Per Common Share |
|
The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. |
|
During the year ended December 31, 2011, EnerTeck entered into stock sales agreements with investors who contributed $175,000 in cash to the Company for 350,000 shares of common stock. The shares had not been issued as of December 31, 2012 but retained the rights associated with the respective class of stock. Accordingly, these shares were considered common stock equivalents for purposes of computing basic earnings per share. 275,000 of these shares were issued during 2012, and 75,000 remain unissued. |
|
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2013 and 2012, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. |
|
Management Estimates and Assumptions |
|
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Financial Instruments |
|
The Company’s financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. |
|
Stock Options and Warrants |
|
Effective January 1, 2006, EnerTeck began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation |
|
Taxes Collected |
|
The Company collects sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities imposed on certain sales to customers. Sales taxes collected are included in revenues; net amounts paid are reported as expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. |
|
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. |
|
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2013-02"). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, the effects of significant amounts reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the respective line items of the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and to cross-reference to other required disclosures, where applicable. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. There was no material impact to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption of this guidance |
|
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU 2013-04"). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of ASU 2013-04 is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of those obligations. ASU 2013-04 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2013-04 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
|
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
