Policies | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates. |
Consolidation | Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated operations of Incoming, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary North American Bio-Energies, LLC (“NABE”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had cash of $11,460 and $71,496, respectively, held in FDIC insured accounts. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Incoming derives all of its revenue from operations of the NABE biodiesel plant in Lenoir, North Carolina, which was acquired in August of 2010. Through NABE, the Company’s operations are focused primarily on biodiesel production and sales. Currently, we derive revenue from biodiesel sales, from glycerin (a by-product from bio-diesel production) sales, from RIN (Renewable Identification Numbers) sales, and from kerosene sales. We generate net revenue from imported biodiesel sales between the buyer and the seller. Gross revenues are generated from the sale of own-produced biodiesel, glycerin and RIN’s. Revenues on sales of all products are recognized when the products have been delivered and collectability is reasonably assured. |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Related parties are defined as: affiliates of the Company, entities for which investments are accounted for by the equity method, trusts for the benefit of employees, principal owners, management, members of the Board, members of immediate families of principal owners or management, other parties with which the company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests,10% ownership, etc. Transactions with related parties may not be conducted on terms equivalent to those prevailing in arm’s-length transactions (e.g. a company may receive services from a related party without cost). It is the policy of the Board of Incoming that all related party transactions are subject to review. All Related Party Transactions that are required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, as required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and related rules and regulations, shall be so disclosed in accordance with such laws, rules and regulations. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent valid claims against customers and are recognized when products are sold or services are rendered. We extend credit terms to certain customers based on historical dealings and to other customers after review of various credit indicators, including the customer’s credit rating. Outstanding customer receivable balances are regularly reviewed for possible non-payment indicators and allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded based upon management’s estimate of collectability at the time of their review. Accounts receivable are written off when the account is deemed uncollectible. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance outstanding at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $11,096. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories consist primarily of raw materials, work-in-process and production by-products that are valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. |
Property and Equipment | Property and equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets (which range from 5 to 20 years) using the straight-line method. Repair and maintenance expenditures, which do not result in improvements, are charged to expense as incurred. |
Construction in Progress | Construction in Progress Construction in progress is stated at cost, which includes the costs incurred to third parties for construction of plant assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and put into use. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The evaluation of recoverability is performed using undiscounted estimated net cash flows generated by the related asset. If an asset is deemed to be impaired, the amount of impairment is determined as the amount by which the net carrying value exceeds discounted estimated net cash flows. |
Net Income/(Loss) Per Share | Net Income/(Loss) per Share In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings per Share”, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Under ASC 260, diluted net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants, outstanding during the period. Such common equivalent shares have not been included in the computation of net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Share-based payments awarded to consultants are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Connection with Selling, Goods or Services.” |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, agreement payable and due to related party approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company does not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow. |
