| ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Business Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Krossbow Holding Corp. on September 17, 2009. The Company’s focus is on man-made diamond technology development and commercialization. The Company has generated little revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment and commercial launch of a new business enterprise. . The Company continues to develop its diamond technology while operating its factory to maximize revenue. The Company experienced a process water leak in our facility in mid-December 2015 causing damage to our diamond growers and a temporary interruption in production. The factory was operating again within a number of days, and is currently operating in excess of 80 These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has responded to these circumstances by implementing to following strategies and actions: · Initiated efforts with insurance carrier to cover expense related to production shutdown, lost inventory and cost of the business interruption; · Continuing efforts to solicit investment in the Company in the form of private placements of common shares to accredited investors not to exceed the shares authorized; · Continuing efforts to solicit investment in the Company in the form of secured and unsecured debt; · Recently expanded and continue to optimize production of existing manufacturing capabilities to increase product revenues; · Continuing to focus efforts on new business development opportunities to generate revenues and expand and diversify the customer base; · Continuing development of white gemstone material to expand our product offerings and enhance our product marketability; and · Continuing to explore strategic joint ventures and technology licensing agreements to expand Company revenue and cash flow. Historically, these actions have been sufficient to provide the Company with the liquidity it needs to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will successfully implement these plans on a going forward basis. If necessary, the Company will pursue further issuances of equity securities, and future credit facilities or corporate borrowings. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current stockholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month interim periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods or the year. The balance sheet at March 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2015. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323, InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures, the Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in corporate joint ventures for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary. Significant influence typically exists if the Company has a 20 50 Net loss per share is presented under two formats: basic net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excluding non-vested restricted stock, during the period, and diluted net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and the weighted average dilutive potential common shares outstanding, computed using the treasury stock method. Currently, for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of weighted average shares of non-vested restricted stock and common stock issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. December 31, 2015 2014 Common stock options 1,027,708 232,500 Warrants to purchase common stock 675,545 5,566,795 Non-vested restricted stock 1,885,000 An allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is maintained for estimated losses from customers’ failure to make payment on accounts receivable due to the Company. Management determines the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (1) historical experience, (2) aging of accounts receivable and (3) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current credit worthiness of its customers. The Company has determined that an allowance was not necessary at December 31, 2015 or March 31, 2015. Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. The carrying value of inventory is reviewed and adjusted based upon slow moving, obsolete items and management’s assessment of current market conditions. Inventory costs include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead including depreciation and are determined by the “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) method. December 31, March 31, Raw materials and supplies $ 16,615 $ 58,390 Work in process 18,084 31,371 Finished goods 138,232 205,999 Inventory reserve (8,384) $ 164,547 $ 295,760 At December 31, 2015, the Company maintains an inventory reserve for instances where finished good inventory may yield lower than expected results. During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, we experienced selling prices lower than cost and as a result we recorded a lower of cost or market write down of $ 68,722 Years Machinery and equipment 3 to15 Furniture and fixtures 3 to10 Engineering equipment 5 to 12 Leasehold improvements which are included in facility fixed assets on the balance sheet are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset (generally three to seven years). Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Acquired in-process research and development costs are considered to have an indefinite useful life until such time as they are put into service at which time they will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their economic or legal useful life. Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management reviews definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, management evaluated assets included in IPRD and determined that certain projects would no longer be pursued for further development resulting in an impairment charge of $ 418,065 Stock-based compensation expense for the value of stock options is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model takes into account implied volatility in the price of the Company’s stock, the risk-free interest rate, the estimated life of the equity-based award, the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date and the exercise price. The estimates utilized in the Black-Scholes calculation involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. Concentration of Credit Risk/Revenue Concentrations During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company sold a significant amount of its production to the RCDC joint venture and had a receivable from RCDC at December 31, 2015 of $ 215,613 We recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of products has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For our Company, this generally means that we recognize revenue when we or our fabrication vendor has shipped finished product to the customer. Our sales terms do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part. The Company has an allowance for returns of $ 22,050 For product sales to our joint venture partners for further processing and finishing, we currently defer all revenues when products are shipped. We currently recognize revenue at the earlier of when the joint venture partner sells the finished goods manufactured from our materials or we are paid for our goods. Licensing and development revenues are recognized in the month as detailed in appropriate licensing and development contracts. In the event that licensing funds are received prior to the contractual commitment, the Company will recognize deferred revenue (liability) for the amount received. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance supersedes the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The guidance also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, "Revenue Recognition- Contract-Type and Production-Type Contracts". On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the pronouncement by one year. ASU 2014-9, as amended, is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2017. An entity is required to apply the amendments using one of the following two methods: i) retrospectively to each prior period presented with three possible expedients: a) for completed contracts that begin and end in the same reporting period no restatement is required, b) for completed contract with variable consideration an entity may use the transaction price at completion rather than restating estimated variable consideration amounts in comparable reporting periods and c) for comparable reporting periods before date of initial application reduced disclosure requirements related to transaction price; ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendment recognized at the date of initial application with additional disclosures for the differences of the prior guidance to the reporting periods compared to the new guidance and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. We are required to adopt ASU 2014-09, as amended, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and we are currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement on our financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess, at each annual and interim reporting period, the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. The ASU is effective for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on our financial statements or In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, ("ASU 2015-11"). This new guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Currently, entities measure inventory at the lower of cost and market. ASU 2015-11 replaces market with net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured under last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 requires prospective adoption for inventory measurements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years for public business entities. Early application is permitted. ASU 2015-11 is therefore effective in our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2017. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-11 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company that will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. |
