Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 3 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results. The results for the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019 has been derived from unaudited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2019. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 99.7% owned principal operating subsidiary Evolution AI Corporation (“EAI”), inactive subsidiaries York Production LLC and York Production II LLC and its 54% majority owned subsidiary PEC. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include allocating the fair value of purchase consideration issued in business acquisitions, depreciable lives of property and equipment, analysis of impairments of recorded goodwill, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, assumptions made when estimating the fair value of equity instruments issued in share-based payment arrangements and deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance. . Significant Accounting Policies For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2019. Long-term investments As described in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 and related ASU 2018-03 concerning recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. In adopting this new guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election to adopt an adjusted cost method measurement alternative for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values. For equity investments that are accounted for using the measurement alternative, the Company initially records equity investments that qualify for the measurement alternative at cost, but is required to adjust the carrying value of such equity investments through earnings when there is an observable transaction involving the same or a similar investment with the same issuer or upon an impairment. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s long-term investments consist of its investment in Panda Productions (HK) Limited (“Panda”), (Note 5). Leases Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less, if any, from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company continues to account for leases in the prior period financial statements under ASC Topic 840. Deferred tax liability The Company recognized $36.9 million of deferred tax liabilities related to the EAI acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2018. The following is a rollforward of the Company’s deferred tax liability from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019: March 31, 2019 Balance – January 1, 2019 $ 35,000 Income tax benefit (associated with the amortization of intangible assets) (1,169 ) Balance - March 31, 2019 $ 33,831 Loss Per Share Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. Anti-dilutive securities, which are convertible into the Company’s common stock, consist of the following at March 31, 2019 and 2018: As of March 31, 2019 2018 Common stock purchase warrants 200,007 1,350 Convertible preferred shares - 161,633 Stock options 16,667 - Convertible notes variable settlement feature 577,503 203,615 Total 794,177 366,598 Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change. In July 2017, the FASB has issued a two-part ASU No. 2017-11, (i). Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and is required to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2018-13 and its impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
