Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information, refer to Real Estate Contacts, Inc.s (the Company) audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the year ended December 31, 2014 Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All share and per share information contained in this report gives retroactive effect to a 1 for 1,000 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, effective June 10, 2014, a 1 for 10 reverse stock split, effective January 21, 2015 and a 1 for 100 reverse stock split effective June 15, 2015. Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most significant estimates are for stock based compensation, and derivative assumptions used in calculating derivative liabilities and valuation and estimated useful life of website. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Our reclassifications were made to common stock and additional paid in capital, due to reverse splits in 2014 and 2015, which were retroactively adjusted to presentations of 2014 balance sheet. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses. Financial Instruments The Companys balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and payables to a stockholder. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. The carrying values of the notes payable and amounts due to stockholder approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. The derivative liability has been valued at fair market value, in consideration of the fair value of the potential future consideration that may be required upon settlement under the terms of the convertible debt instruments. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: · · · Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2015. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash Flow Reporting The Company follows ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows Statement of Cash Flows Cash and Cash Equivalents The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at either September 30, 2015 or as of December 31, 2014. Accounts Receivable The Company currently does not issue credit on services provided, therefore there are no accounts receivable. No allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary to be established for amounts that may not be recoverable, since there has been no credit issued. Website Development Costs The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 Website Development Costs. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. The Company placed its main website (www.realestatecontacts.com) into service prior to 2008, with a redesign of the website in 2015. Our video website channel (www.realestatevideochannels.com) and our other website (www.realestatevideowebsites.com) were improperly shut down in September 2015 by the website hosting company and we are pursuing all legal remedies to get these sites operational. All costs associated with these websites are subject to straight-line amortization over there expected useful life, a five year period. Intangible Assets In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets, including website development costs, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following: 1. Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results; 2. Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and 3. Significant negative industry or economic trends. When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Due to multiple issues with our programmer, who hosts our website, management believes that the website may not be functional to the required specification. Management believes that significant modifications may be necessary. Based on the information available to management, in consideration of all issues, an impairment loss has been recognized for the carrying value of the website development costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred impairment losses of $92,449 and $0, respectively. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition. Consideration for future advertising services are paid by customers in advance of those services being provided. Advertising revenue is recognized ratably over the period that the services are subscribed, generally a one year period, net of any estimates for chargebacks or refunds. The unearned portion of the advertising revenue is deferred until future periods in which the subscription is earned. The Company has not issued guarantees or other warrantees on the advertising subscription success or results. The Company has not experienced any refund requests or committed to any adjustments for terminated subscriptions. The Company does not believe that there is any required liability. Stock-based Compensation In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB ASC No. 718, Compensation Stock Compensation Equity instruments (instruments) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC 718. FASB ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees Advertising The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $6,037 and $8,433 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized. The Company follows the provisions of the ASC 740 -10 related to, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and stock equivalents. To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are anti-dilutive; they are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share. As of September 30, 2015 there were approximately 5,274,857,000 share equivalents, as calculated, for potential conversion demand of our outstanding convertible notes.
