Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Wala, Inc. and Gotham Innovation Lab, Inc., which are presented as discontinued operations (See Note 2). 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 Companys financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, 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 iGambit is a holding company and has no sources of revenue. Arcmail recognizes revenue from product sales when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, an equipment order has been placed with the vendor, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from maintenance contracts covering multiple future periods are recognized during the current periods and deferred revenue is recorded for future periods and classified as current or noncurrent, depending on the terms of the contracts. Gothams revenues were derived primarily from the sale of products and services rendered to real estate brokers. Gotham recognized revenues when the services or products have been provided or delivered, the fees charged are fixed or determinable, Gotham and its customers understood the specific nature and terms of the agreed upon transactions, and collectability was reasonably assured. Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. There were no advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 $8,345 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Bad debt expense of $0 and $5,971 was charged to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Inventories Inventories consisting of finished products are stated at the lower of cost or market and are presented in assets from discontinued operations. Cost is determined on an average cost basis. Property and equipment and depreciation Property and equipment are stated at cost. 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 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 as follows: Office equipment and fixtures 5 - 7 years Computer hardware 5 years Computer software 3 years Development equipment 5 years Amortization Intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated lives of the respective assets as follows: Non-compete 5 years Workforce 10 years Customer relations 10 years Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of liabilities assumed over assets acquired of ArcMail and the fair market value of the common shares issued by the Company for the acquisition of ArcMail. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other), the goodwill is not being amortized, but instead will be subject to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test, and will be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. A lack of projected future operating results from ArcMails operations may cause impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2016, goodwill was reallocated to intangible assets acquired as follows: Workforce $ 138,783 Non-compete 145,315 Customer relations 3,357,756 3,641,854 Goodwill 3,063,303 $ 6,705,157 In connection with managements decision to sell Arcmail, the Company recorded an impairment charge to discontinued operations of $6,263,320, and amortization of $441,837 was charged to discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2016. Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the valuation of components of its property and equipment and other long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances dictate that the carrying value might not be recoverable. The Company bases its evaluation on indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such factors indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred by analyzing an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If the estimate of undiscounted cash flows during the estimated useful life of the asset is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, generally measured by the present value of the estimated cash flows. Deferred Revenue Deposits from customers are not recognized as revenues, but as liabilities, until the following conditions are met: revenues are realized when cash or claims to cash (receivable) are received in exchange for goods or services or when assets received in such exchange are readily convertible to cash or claim to cash or when such goods/services are transferred. When such income item is earned, the related revenue item is recognized, and the deferred revenue is reduced. To the extent revenues are generated from the Companys support and maintenance services, the Company recognizes such revenues when services are completed and billed. The Company has received deposits from its various customers that have been recorded as deferred revenue and presented as discontinued liabilities in the amount of $1,092,388 and $1,190,279 as of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes 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 Companys financial statements . 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. FASB ASC 740 ASU 2015-17 - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes: In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17). The FASB issued this ASU as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative, with the objective of reducing complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 require entities that present a classified balance sheet to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as a noncurrent amount. This guidance does not change the offsetting requirements for deferred tax liabilities and assets, which results in the presentation of one amount on the balance sheet. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU align the deferred income tax presentation with the requirements in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 842 ASU 2016-02 Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. The ASU will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
