Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Business Description | EAU Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “EAU”), was incorporated on March 6, 2000, under the laws of the state of Delaware and commenced operations in September, 2000 as Primacide, Inc. On May 10, 2001, the Company changed its name from Primacide, Inc., to Electric Aquagenics Unlimited, Inc. On January 17, 2007 the Company changed its name from Electric Aquagenics Unlimited, Inc. to EAU Technologies, Inc. The Company is in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing equipment that uses water electrolysis to create fluids. These fluids have various commercial applications and may be used in commercial food processing organic or non-organic agricultural and consumer products that clean, disinfect, remediate, hydrate and moisturize. These products, which the Company intends to market nationally and internationally, are for commercial and residential use. The Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Receivables | Receivables represent valid claims against debtors for sales or other charges arising on or before the balance-sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates allowances for doubtful accounts based on the aged receivable balances and historical losses. The Company charges off uncollectible accounts receivable when management estimates no possibility of collecting the related receivable. |
Inventory | Inventory, consisting primarily of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is determined on first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. |
Property and Equipment, and Depreciation | Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Expenditures for additions and major improvements that extend the life of the asset are capitalized, whereas the cost of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0 and $0, respectively. In September 2005, the Company pledged all the assets of the Company as collateral for the Senior Convertible Note, payable to Water Science, a related party. |
|
Long-Lived Assets | Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets are reported at the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | The carrying values of cash on hand, receivables, payables and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments. |
Recognition of Sales and Costs of Goods Sold | The Company records sales of its products based upon the terms of the contract; when title passes to its customers; and, when collectability is reasonably assured. The Company provides an allowance for sales returns based on current and historical experience. Cost of goods sold consists of the purchase price of products sold including inbound shipping charges. |
|
Sales Taxes | In accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, formerly EITF Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Government Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement, the Company accounts for sales taxes imposed on its good and services on a gross basis in the statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, $0 and $0 of sales taxes has been reported in revenues. |
Warranties | The Company warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of up to three years. The Company has accrued a reserve for these anticipated future warranty costs. |
Income Taxes | Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment. |

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. |
|
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income. |
|
Accounting Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company 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. |
Research and Development | Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $0 and $18,438, respectively. |
Patents, Trademarks and Intellectual Property | Patents, trademarks and intellectual property, consisting of trade secrets and formulas are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"). As such, patents and trademarks are initially measured based on their fair values. |
Loss Per Share | The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 260 "Earnings Per Share". Earnings per share (EPS) are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. No changes in the computation of diluted earnings per share amounts are presented because warrants granted would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net reported loss. |
Stock Based Compensation | - Stock-based compensation is calculated according to FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires a fair-value-based measurement method to account for stock-based compensation. The Company has modified the price of stock options to employees and directors. The Company accounts for the incremental value of the modified options based on the excess of the fair value of the modified award based on current circumstances. The modifications made to the Company’s equity awards did not result in significant incremental compensation costs, either individually or in the aggregate. |
Reclassification | Certain amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on our financial statements. |
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards | In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. In connection with each annual and interim period, management is required to assess whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial position, results of operations and disclosures. |

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations. |
|
Other recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
