Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gotham Innovation Lab, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. . |
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Additionally, there are no assets or liabilities for which fair value is remeasured on a recurring basis. |
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from the sale of products and services rendered to real estate brokers. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of the products or services. |
|
|
|
|
|
Advertising Costs |
|
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $4,292 and $23,946, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include checking and money market accounts and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. |
|
|
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
The Company analyzes the collectability of accounts receivable from continuing operations each accounting period and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of accounts receivables, including the creditworthiness of each customer, current and historical collection history and the related aging of past due balances. The Company evaluates specific accounts when it becomes aware of information indicating that a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings, bankruptcy or other factors affecting the ability to render payment. There was no bad debt expense charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. . |
|
|
|
Property and equipment and depreciation |
|
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for both financial reporting and income tax purposes is computed using combinations of the straight line and accelerated methods over the estimated lives of the respective assets. Computer equipment is depreciated over 5 years and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income. |
|
Depreciation expense of $4,885 and $6,373 was charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
|
Goodwill |
|
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination, specifically the acquisition of Jekyll by the Company’s subsidiary, Gotham. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”, goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test, and is reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. A lack of projected future operating results from Gotham’s operations may cause impairment. At December 31, 2012, the Company performed its annual impairment study and determined that present and future cash flows were not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of goodwill, and the goodwill was written off. . |

|
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company accounts for its stock-based awards granted under its employee compensation plan in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718-20, Awards Classified as Equity, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the related service period for awards expected to vest. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected vesting term of the grant, expected dividends, and an assumption related to forfeitures of such grants. Changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of the Company’s stock options and warrants. |
|
|
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. |
|
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740 for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the Company’s financial statements. In accordance with this provision, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position. |

|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
The Company has reviewed recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements. |
