NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation |
|
The unaudited financial statements of Multimedia platforms, Inc. as of March 31, 2015, and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and include the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Columbia Funmap, Inc. from the date of acquisition on March 1, 2015, and Multimedia Platforms, LLC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company’s Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has a 100% interest in MMP, LLC and a 100% interest in FUNMAP. The results of each of these entities are consolidated with the Company’s results from and after their respective acquisition dates based on guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). |
|
Accounting estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
|
Cash and cash equivalents |
|
The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. |
|
Accounts receivable |
|
The Company currently does issue credit on services for one of its national advertisers and its national media brokers who are on 90 day terms. Our collection policy is that payment is due at time of advertising printing. No allowance for doubtful accounts are considered necessary to be established for amounts that may not be recoverable as our collection history is good and write offs have been minimal. |
|
Property, plant, and equipment |
|
Fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. |
|
Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are: |
|
| | Estimated | | | | | | | |
| | Useful Lives | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Office Equipment | | 5-10 years | | | | | | | |
Furniture | | 5 - 7 years | | | | | | | |
Vehicles | | 5-10 years | | | | | | | |
|
For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system. For book purposes, depreciation is computed under the straight-line method. |
|
Long-lived assets |
|
The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets using an assessment of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to such assets. In the event that assets are found to be carried at amounts which are in excess of estimated gross future cash flows, the assets will be adjusted for impairment to a level commensurate with fair value determined using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying assets. |
|
The Company’s property, plant, and equipment consist of a vehicle. |
|
Goodwill |
|
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses and general economic conditions. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
MMP LLC follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition. |
|
Revenue is recognized from one primary source: Advertising. The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred; (1) upon signing the advertising contract, (2) publication of the advertisement in print or uploaded to be digitally placed on line (3) collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
Reported revenues are net of in kind exchanges, barters and discounts. Trade (barter) exchanges for needed services and promotional costs are recorded at the fair market value of the goods and services exchanged. Barter related amounts were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As a result, no adjustments to the financial statements were deemed necessary. In addition, for financial statement presentation, revenues have been offset by material costs received in such exchanges. |
|
Revenue is recognized at the point of sale, with no further obligations. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. In calculating this fair value, there are certain assumptions that we use consisting of the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, volatility and forfeiture rate. The use of a different estimate for any one of these components could have a material impact on the amount of calculated compensation expense. |
|
We periodically issue restricted common stock as compensation. Pursuant to ASC 505-50-30-6 issuances are valued using the market price of the stock or value of the services rendered on the date of the related agreement, whichever is more readily determinable. |
|
Cost of Goods Sold |
|
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the creating services for editorial, creative services, advertising and delivery and in kind discounts and services. Cost for trade is recognized as incurred. |
|
Shipping and handling costs |
|
The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
|
Research and development costs |
|
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to relatively short periods to maturity. It is not practical to determine the fair value of our notes payable due to the complex terms. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions, if any, taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively. |
|
Net Income (Loss) Per Share |
|
The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period, including shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of the reporting period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted-average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Therefore, when calculating EPS if the Company experienced a loss, there is no inclusion of dilutive securities as their inclusion in the EPS calculation is antidilutive. Furthermore, options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants (they are in the money). |
|
|
Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014: |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP relating to whether or not to consolidate certain legal entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change. |
|
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”, which eliminates the concept from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change. |
|
We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our financial statements. |
