NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Managements' Plans |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited operating history, has not generated revenues from our planned principal operations and has sustained substantial losses since inception. However, as of September 30, 2014, the Company has cash on hand of $300,611 and positive working capital of $208,017. The Company expects current cash on hand will be able to fund operations for up to 12 months. In view of this matter, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon growth of revenues. |
|
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. |
|
Risks and Uncertainties |
We have a limited operating history and have not generated revenues from our planned principal operations. |
|
Our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond our control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including the political environment and acts or threats of war or terrorism. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions, including through recession, downturn or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our results of operations. |
|
We currently have no sales and limited marketing and/or distribution capabilities. We have limited experience in developing, training or managing a sales force and will incur substantial additional expenses if we decide to market any of our current and future products. Developing a marketing and sales force is also time consuming and could delay launch of our future products. In addition, we will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales operations. Our marketing and sales efforts may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. |
|
Our industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. As a result, our products may quickly become obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer demands, develop new products and enhance our current products on a timely and cost-effective basis. Further, our products must remain competitive with those of other companies with substantially greater resources. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhanced versions of existing products. Also, we may not be able to adapt new or enhanced products to emerging industry standards, and our new products may not be favourably received. |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Spectral Holdings, Inc, and its 60% owned subsidiaries, Noot Holdings, Inc. from its date of incorporation of February 28, 2013, and Monitr Holdings, Inc. from its date of incorporation of December 1, 2013. Previously, the Company included the operations of Extractive Resources Corporation and Shamrock Oil and Gas, Ltd. Shamrock was 60% owned by Extractive Resources Corporation which were disposed on December 31, 2012. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Basis of Presentation |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
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 as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
|
Level 1 | Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | | |
| | | |
Level 2 | Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. | | |
| | | |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. | | |
|
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company doesn't have any assets or liabilities in which would be considered Level 2 or 3. |
|
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable from related party, investments in technologies, accounts payable and accrued expenses and related party advances. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. |
|
The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include cost method investments when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a nonmonetary exchange, and property and equipment and intangible assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired various technologies and an investment in a third party in which the investment is being treated under the cost basis of accounting. See Notes 4 and 5, for discussion regarding day one impairment charges related to these items. Excluding these items, the Company did not have any significant assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. |
|
Use of 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Basic Loss Per Share |
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common share equivalents totalling 20,400,000 and 20,400,000 were outstanding at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing outstanding warrants and options, and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. |
|
Investment in Securities |
The Company’s investments consisting of common shares of non-controlled entities are accounted for on the cost basis. Impairment losses will be recorded when indicators of impairment are present. See Note 5 for additional information. |
|
Non-Controlling Interests |
Non-controlling interest disclosed within the consolidated statement of operations represents the minority ownership's 40% share of net losses of Noot Holdings, Inc. and Monitr Holdings, Inc incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The following table sets forth the changes in non-controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2014: |
|
| | | Non-Controlling |
| | | Interest |
Balance at December 31, 2013 | | $ 1,799,057 |
Contribution of intangible assets by minority shareholder | | - |
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest | | (614,656) |
Balance at September 30, 2014 | | $ 1,184,401 |
|
Foreign Currency |
The Company's functional currency is the United States Dollar. Transaction gains or losses related to balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of these foreign currency transactions, the Company has recorded foreign currency losses of $0 and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. |
|
New Accounting Pronouncements |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915) Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation in June 2014 aims to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements from development stage entities. Users of financial statements of development stage entities determined that the development stage entity distinction, the inception-to-date information, and certain other disclosures has limited relevance and is generally not useful. ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We have elected early adoption of ASU 2014-10 for this filing. We have provided additional disclosures as described in the preceding paragraphs under ASC 275 Risks and Uncertainties as required by this ASU. |
