Organization | |||||
DirectView Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 2, 2006. On July 6, 2012 the Company changed its domicile from Delaware and incorporated in the state of Nevada. | |||||
The Company has the following four subsidiaries: DirectView Video Technologies Inc., DirectView Security Systems Inc., Ralston Communication Services Inc., and Meeting Technologies Inc. | |||||
The Company is a full-service provider of teleconferencing services to businesses and organizations. The Company's conferencing services enable its clients to cost-effectively conduct remote meetings by linking participants in geographically dispersed locations. The Company's primary focus is to provide high value-added conferencing services to organizations such as professional service firms, investment banks, high tech companies, law firms, investor relations firms, and other domestic and multinational companies. The Company is also a provider of the latest technologies in surveillance systems, digital video recording and services. The systems provide onsite and remote video and audio surveillance. | |||||
Basis of Presentation | |||||
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, three wholly-owned subsidiaries, and a subsidiary with which the Company has a majority voting interest of approximately 58% (the other 42% is owned by non-controlling interests, including 23% which is owned by the Company’s CEO who is a majority shareholder of the Parent Company) as of September 30, 2014. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. | |||||
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2014. | |||||
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. | |||||
Use of Estimates | |||||
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, valuation of stock-based compensation, the useful life of property and equipment and the assumptions used to calculate derivative liabilities. | |||||
Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements | |||||
The Company follows ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,” (“SFAS No. 160”). This statement clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-21, the losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in subsidiary may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance. As of September 30, 2014, the Company reflected a non-controlling interest of ($35,736) in connection with our majority-owned subsidiary, DirectView Security Systems Inc. as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. | |||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. | |||||
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: | |||||
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets | ||||
or liabilities | |||||
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data | ||||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of | ||||
the reporting entity’s own assumptions. | |||||
Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. | |||||
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments. | |||||
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and due to related parties approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes and convertible promissory notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company's debt and the interest payable on the notes approximates the Company's incremental borrowing rate. | |||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||
The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company uses specific identification of accounts to reserve possible uncollectible receivables. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, management determined that an allowance is necessary which amounted to $137,215 and $137,215, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable. | |||||
Advertising | |||||
Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $112,803 and $810, respectively. | |||||
Shipping costs | |||||
Shipping costs are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses and was deemed to be not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||
Inventories | |||||
Inventories, consisting of finished goods related to our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company acquires inventory for specific installation jobs. As a result, the Company orders inventory only as needed for installations and there was no inventory on hand at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | |||||
Property and equipment and Leasehold Improvements | |||||
Property and equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. | |||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | |||||
Long-Lived Assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. | |||||
Income Taxes | |||||
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. | |||||
Pursuant to ASC Topic 740-10: Income Taxes related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. The accounting standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||
Stock Based Compensation | |||||
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated condensed financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. | |||||
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the service period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $462,600 and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||
Revenue recognition | |||||
The Company follows the guidance of the FASB ASC 605-10-S99 “Revenue Recognition Overall – SEC Materials. The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software, and services which are delivered at varying times, the Company determines whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting. Delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items, and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in the Company’s control. | |||||
The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company: | |||||
Revenue is recognized upon completion of conferencing services. The Company generally does not charge up-front fees and bills its customers based on usage. | |||||
Revenue for video equipment sales and security surveillance equipment sales is recognized upon delivery and installation. | |||||
Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain and collectibility of the related receivable is probable. | |||||
Cost of sales includes cost of products and cost of service. Product cost includes the cost of products and freight costs. Cost of services includes labor and fuel expenses. | |||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers | |||||
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Almost all of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk. | |||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, one customer accounted for 61% of revenues. | |||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, one customer accounted for 69% of revenues. | |||||
As of September 30, one customer accounted for 80% of total accounts receivable. | |||||
As of December 31, 2013, three customers accounted for 69% of total accounts receivable. The following is a list of percentage of accounts receivable owed by the three customers: | |||||
Customer 1 | 12 | % | |||
Customer 2 | 12 | % | |||
Customer 3 | 45 | % | |||
Total | 69 | % | |||
Related Parties | |||||
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the 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. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution to related party. | |||||
Net Loss per Common Share | |||||
Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net earnings per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2014 the Company had 1,181,369,275 shares equivalent issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features. At September 30, 2013, the Company had 40,064,943 shares equivalent issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features. | |||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASC Subtopic 205-40 which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and the Company will continue to assess the impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |||||
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flow. |

2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS | ' |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $21 million, a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $7.4 million and a working capital deficiency of $7,460,643. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred net losses of $4,001,978 and had negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $415,803. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Management intends to attempt to raise funds by way of a public or private offering. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY | ' | ||||
The Company enters into financing arrangements that contain embedded derivative features due to down round (“Ratchet”) provisions (See note 6). The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument. | |||||
We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income. | |||||
The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014: | |||||

Total derivative liability at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 amounted to $4,426,555 and $1,503,531, respectively. The change in fair value included in earnings as expense of $13,600,773 is due in part to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock increasing from $.0017 at December 31, 2013 to $.0039 at September 30, 2014 coupled with substantially reduced conversion prices due to the effect of “Ratchet” provisions incorporated in convertible notes payable. | |||||

Notes to Financial Statements | ' | ||||
Organization | ' | ||||
DirectView Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 2, 2006. On July 6, 2012 the Company changed its domicile from Delaware and incorporated in the state of Nevada. | |||||
The Company has the following four subsidiaries: DirectView Video Technologies Inc., DirectView Security Systems Inc., Ralston Communication Services Inc., and Meeting Technologies Inc. | |||||
The Company is a full-service provider of teleconferencing services to businesses and organizations. The Company's conferencing services enable its clients to cost-effectively conduct remote meetings by linking participants in geographically dispersed locations. The Company's primary focus is to provide high value-added conferencing services to organizations such as professional service firms, investment banks, high tech companies, law firms, investor relations firms, and other domestic and multinational companies. The Company is also a provider of the latest technologies in surveillance systems, digital video recording and services. The systems provide onsite and remote video and audio surveillance. | |||||
Basis of Presentation | ' | ||||
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, three wholly-owned subsidiaries, and a subsidiary with which the Company has a majority voting interest of approximately 58% (the other 42% is owned by non-controlling interests, including 23% which is owned by the Company’s CEO who is a majority shareholder of the Parent Company) as of September 30, 2014. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Company, intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. | |||||
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2014. | |||||
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. | |||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, valuation of stock-based compensation, the useful life of property and equipment and the assumptions used to calculate derivative liabilities. | |||||
Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements | ' | ||||
The Company follows ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,” (“SFAS No. 160”). This statement clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-21, the losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in subsidiary may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance. As of September 30, 2014, the Company reflected a non-controlling interest of ($35,736) in connection with our majority-owned subsidiary, DirectView Security Systems Inc. as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | ||||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. | |||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' | ||||
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. | |||||
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: | |||||
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets | ||||
or liabilities | |||||
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data | ||||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of | ||||
the reporting entity’s own assumptions. | |||||
Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. | |||||
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments. | |||||
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and due to related parties approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes and convertible promissory notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company's debt and the interest payable on the notes approximates the Company's incremental borrowing rate. | |||||
Accounts Receivable | ' | ||||
The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company uses specific identification of accounts to reserve possible uncollectible receivables. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, management determined that an allowance is necessary which amounted to $137,215 and $137,215, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable. | |||||
Advertising | ' | ||||
Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $112,803 and $810, respectively. | |||||
Shipping Costs | ' | ||||
Shipping costs are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses and was deemed to be not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||
Inventories | ' | ||||
Inventories, consisting of finished goods related to our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company acquires inventory for specific installation jobs. As a result, the Company orders inventory only as needed for installations and there was no inventory on hand at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | |||||
Property and equipment and Leasehold Improvements | ' | ||||
Property and equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. | |||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' | ||||
Long-Lived Assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. | |||||
Income Taxes | ' | ||||
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. | |||||
Pursuant to ASC Topic 740-10: Income Taxes related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. The accounting standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||
Stock Based Compensation | ' | ||||
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated condensed financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. | |||||
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the service period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $462,600 and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | ||||
The Company follows the guidance of the FASB ASC 605-10-S99 “Revenue Recognition Overall – SEC Materials. The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software, and services which are delivered at varying times, the Company determines whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting. Delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items, and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in the Company’s control. | |||||
The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company: | |||||
Revenue is recognized upon completion of conferencing services. The Company generally does not charge up-front fees and bills its customers based on usage. | |||||
Revenue for video equipment sales and security surveillance equipment sales is recognized upon delivery and installation. | |||||
Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain and collectibility of the related receivable is probable. | |||||
Cost of sales includes cost of products and cost of service. Product cost includes the cost of products and freight costs. Cost of services includes labor and fuel expenses. | |||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers | ' | ||||
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Almost all of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk. | |||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, one customer accounted for 61% of revenues. | |||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, one customer accounted for 69% of revenues. | |||||
As of September 30, one customer accounted for 80% of total accounts receivable. | |||||
As of December 31, 2013, three customers accounted for 69% of total accounts receivable. The following is a list of percentage of accounts receivable owed by the three customers: | |||||
Customer 1 | 12 | % | |||
Customer 2 | 12 | % | |||
Customer 3 | 45 | % | |||
Total | 69 | % | |||
Related Parties | ' | ||||
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the 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. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution to related party. | |||||
Net Loss per Common Share | ' | ||||
Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net earnings per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2014 the Company had 1,181,369,275 shares equivalent issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features. At September 30, 2013, the Company had 40,064,943 shares equivalent issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features. | |||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' | ||||
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASC Subtopic 205-40 which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and the Company will continue to assess the impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |||||
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flow. | |||||
