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. |
Reclassifications | Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period’s financial information to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit. |
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, 2018 and 2017, the Company had cash of $0 and $3,480, respectively, held in FDIC insured accounts. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company 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 also generate revenue from biodiesel import activities. The Company records revenue based on the five-step process outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606: a) identify the contract with the customer, b) identify performance obligations in the contract, c) determine the transaction price, d) allocate the transaction price, and e) satisfaction of the performance obligations (and recognize revenue). |
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, 2018 and 2017 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 net realizable value. |
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. |
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 | 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 shares and common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants, outstanding during the period. The Company does not have any stock options or warrants outstanding in 2018 and 2017. As a result, the Company did not have to consider the impact of equivalent shares on its diluted net income/(loss) per share calculation. |
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, 2018 and December 31, 2017. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and short-term debt 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 | In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC 718. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and does not have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20, which was issued in May 2014 as a part of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which is the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2014-09, and early adoption is permitted. This became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and does not have a material impact on its financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250). The ASU adds SEC disclosure requirements for both the quantitative and qualitative impacts that certain recently issued accounting standards will have on the financial statements of a registrant when such standards are adopted in a future period. Specially, these disclosure requirements apply to the adoption of ASU No. 2014- 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842); and ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. As indicated below, the Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will have a material impact on its revenue recognition as it pertains to current revenue streams. Between May 2014 and December 2016, the FASB issued several ASU’s on Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). These updates will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The core principle is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. A five-step process has been defined to achieve this core principle, and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standards are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standards in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standards recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Based on the Company’s evaluation of its impact on the financial statements, we adopted the modified retrospective approach of the standard. The adoption of these new standards did not have a material impact on revenue recognition as it pertains to our revenue streams. |
