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. The Company recognizes revenues when the services or products have been provided or delivered, the fees charged are fixed or determinable, the Company and its customers understand the specific nature and terms of the agreed upon transactions, and collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
|
|
Advertising Costs |
|
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $3,543 and $5,786, 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. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $17,865 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Bad debt expense of $4,295 and $0 was charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 $4,766 and $6,694was charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
|
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 |
|
FASB ASC 606 ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from contracts with customers: |
|
In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance on contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue on contracts with customers 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 requires that an entity depict the consideration by applying the following steps: |
|
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. |
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
|
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. This amendment is to be either retrospectively adopted to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

FASB ASC 718 ASU 2014-12 – Compensation – Stock Compensation: |
|
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC Topic No. 718, "Compensation -Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of |
|
ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
