Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cavitation Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions used by management affected impairment analysis for fixed assets, capitalized patent cost, amounts of potential liabilities and valuation of issuance of equity securities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Patents Capitalized patent costs represent legal fees associated with procuring and filing patent applications. The Company accounts for patents in accordance with ASC 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill During the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded amortization expense of $10,074 and $16,401, respectively relating to our capitalized patent costs. As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 the Company had remaining unamortized patent costs of $6,262 and $16,336 respectively. Share-Based Compensation The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non- employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date. The fair value of the Companys common stock options and warrants grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. Warranty Policy The Company provides a limited warranty with every set of reactors sold, typically two years. The Company has not experienced significant claims under its warranty policy, and management determined no accrual for warranty reserve was necessary at March 31, 2017. Dependence on Desmet Ballestra Our revenue is almost entirely dependent on Desmet Ballestra who is our exclusive distribution agent with regard to the CTi Nano Neutralization® System Income (Loss) Per Share The Companys computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Companys net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 12,595,992 stock options and 64,926,510 stock warrants outstanding to purchase shares of common stock that were not included in the diluted net loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 11,685,852 stock options and 74,126,510 stock warrants outstanding to purchase shares of common stock that were not included in the diluted net income per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive since the exercise price of these stock options and warrants were greater than the average market price of the Companys stock. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases In March 2016, the FASB issued the ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future consolidated financial statements. Business and Credit Concentrations The Companys cash balances in a financial institution at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2016, before adjustments for outstanding checks and deposits in transit, the Company had approximately $566,000 and $657,000, respectively, deposited in one financial institution. The deposits are federally insured up to $250,000. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of this financial institution. All recorded revenues during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 of $1,671,940 were attributable to one customer (see Note 3). |
