Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
USE OF ESTIMATES | ' |
USE OF ESTIMATES |
|
The Company prepares financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, revenue recognition, realization of long-lived assets, valuation of derivative liabilities, estimating fair value associated with debt and equity transactions and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | ' |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
|
Accounting standards define "cash and cash equivalents" as any short-term, highly liquid investment that is both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. For the purpose of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, or any investment redeemable without penalty or loss of interest, to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no assets that were classified as cash equivalents. |
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | ' |
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the assets' useful lives or lease terms. |
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY | ' |
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY |
|
The Company expenses all of its patent-related costs and therefore does not carry any costs related to its intellectual property on its balance sheet. |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | ' |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
|
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The carrying amount of the notes payable approximates their fair value due to the short maturity of the notes and as the interest rate approximates current market interest rates for similar instruments. |
|
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. |
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISKS | ' |
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISKS |
|
Cash is maintained at two financial institutions in two checking accounts. As of September 30, 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s maximum level of deposit insurance at financial institutions was $250,000. The Company’s cash balances were above such insured amounts at September 30, 2013. |
INCOME TAXES | ' |
INCOME TAXES |
|
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 740-10-5, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. As the Company is in a significant net operating loss position, a valuation allowance has been recorded for all deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2013. |
LONG-LIVED ASSETS | ' |
LONG-LIVED ASSETS |
|
ASC 360 "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. |
|
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts exceed the fair values of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying values or fair values, less costs of disposal. |
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE | ' |
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE |
|
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares had been issued, if such additional common shares were dilutive. As the Company had net losses for all periods presented, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same, since any potential common shares, have been excluded as their effect would be antidilutive. |
|
As of September 30, 2013 an aggregate of 6,691,688 potential common shares related to outstanding convertible debt, stock options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been antidilutive. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | ' |
REVENUE RECOGNITION |
|
The Company recognizes revenues when such revenues are earned in accordance with the relevant agreements. |
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION | ' |
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION |
|
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. |
|
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. |
|
In accordance with ASC 718, restricted stock awards are measured at their grant date fair value. All restricted shares to employees and non-employees granted in 2012 were granted for nominal consideration, therefore their fair value was equal to the fair value on the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of the restricted stock of $0.20 per share is being recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of five years. |
|
The Company accounts for employee share-based payment awards classified as equity awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions. |
|
When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by consultants and other non-employees, the grant is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of the options granted is measured on a final basis at the end of the related service period and is recognized over the related service period using the accelerated method. |
