Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Organization and Basis of Presentation WestMountain Company ("we", "our" or the "Company"), formerly known as WestMountain Asset Management, Inc., was incorporated in the state of Colorado on October 18, 2007 and on this date approved its business plan and commenced operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial information of WestMountain Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, WestMountain Business Consulting, Inc., WestMountain Allocation Analytics, Inc., and WestMountain Valuation Services, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As a consultant to both public and private companies, we promote public visibility and market acceptance for our clients. We use a number of techniques to achieve these objectives for our clients, including developing public recognition of their business plans and strategic goals, managing investor relations, and engaging in website development and media production. We also utilize various social media outlets and services to deliver our client's message. We are paid fees for our services by our clients under written consulting agreements. Unaudited Financial Information The accompanying financial information as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2017 and its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, have been made. Certain information and footnote data necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is therefore suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company's annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily an indication of operating results to be expected for the year. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue We act primarily as a fee-based marketing and media consultant to public companies. As a consultant, we provide investor relations, website development, video production, and associated marketing and media services to clients. We are paid fees for our services by our clients under written consulting agreements. The Company recognizes revenue for its services generally when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

At December 31, 2016, one related party customer, Nexcore Healthcare Capital Corp., accounted for 100% of the total accounts receivable related party balance.

Income Tax Receivable As of September 30, 2017, the Company had an income tax receivable of $72,550 that is related to estimated tax payments on deposit with federal and state taxing authorities. Investments in Marketable and Nonmarketable Securities The Company reported its investments in marketable securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as available-for-sale. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company's investments had been impaired to zero. Investments were deemed to be marketable when they were investments in public companies. Investments reflected the original cost of the investments and unrealized gain/loss amounts based on the market price as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Any tax adjustment related to the unrealized gain/loss was reflected as a deferred tax asset or liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company reports its investments in nonmarketable securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet using the cost method. Investments are deemed to be nonmarketable when they are investments in private companies. Investments in nonmarketable securities reflect the original cost of the investment. Other comprehensive income (OCI) was made up of the unrealized gain/loss amounts related to the available-for-sale investments of the Company. The OCI balance was recorded net of tax. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a joint revenue recognition standard, ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The new standard removes inconsistencies in existing standards, changes the way companies recognize revenue from contracts with customers, and increases disclosure requirements. The codification was amended through additional ASUs and, as amended, requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard is required to be adopted using either the full retrospective approach, with all prior periods presented adjusted, or the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on the opening balance sheet. The Company continues to make progress on evaluating the accounting implications of this ASU and its assessment of contracts with customers is largely complete. Based on the Company's evaluation to date, it does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on net earnings, however, the Company is analyzing whether the classification of certain items in revenue and expense will be impacted. The Company continues to evaluate the disclosure requirements, develop accounting policies, and assess changes to the relevant business processes and the control activities within them as a result of the provisions of this ASU. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective approach. |
