NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with GAAP. A summary of the more significant policies is set forth below: |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 5353 Joliet LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions are required in the determination of the fair value of financial instruments and the valuation of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. |
|
Debt Issuance Costs |
|
Costs associated with obtaining, closing, and modifying loans and/or debt instruments such as, but not limited to placement agent fees, attorney fees and state documentary fees are capitalized and expensed over the term of the loan. |
|
Debt issuance costs of $19,202 and $0 were capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Debt issuance costs amortized for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were $301 and $0, respectively. |
|
Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the related lease term or useful life. Maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of the associated asset are capitalized. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in results of operations for the period. |
|
Long –lived Assets |
|
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair value. We did not record any impairments of long-lived assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
Revenue related to our leased properties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease when collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company estimates the fair values of share-based payments on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires assumptions for the expected volatility of the share price of our common stock, the expected dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate over the expected term of the stock-based financial instrument. |
|
Since the number of outstanding and free-trading shares of the Company's common stock is limited and the trading volume is relatively low, we do not have sufficient company specific information regarding the volatility of our share price on which to base an estimate of expected volatility. As a result, we use the average historical volatilities of similar entities within our industry as the expected volatility of our share price. |
|
The expected dividend yield is 0% as the Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate it will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. |
|
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant date with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock-based award. |
|
For stock-based financial instruments issued to parties other than employees, we use the contractual term of the financial instruments as the expected term of the stock-based financial instruments. |
|
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based financial instruments represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a comprehensive framework for revenue recognition that supersedes current general revenue guidance and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. An entity should apply the guidance either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative adjustment at the date of the initial application. The Company has not determined the impact of adoption on its financial statements. |
|
In June 2014, FASB issued guidance that eliminates the definition of a development stage entity thereby removing the incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, primarily the presentation of inception to date financial statements. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt the new guidance for development stage entities for the interim period ended June 30, 2014, and accordingly, is no longer presenting the inception-to-date financial information and disclosures formerly required. |
