Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
|
The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of the Company’s common stock used in the valuation of goodwill, accounts receivable and note receivable collectability, inventory, advances on investments, the valuation of restricted stock received from customers, the amortization and recoverability of capitalized patent costs and useful lives of long-lived assets, and income tax expense, some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk |
The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions in the Los Angeles, California area and Florida. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense for the three months ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 were $141,554 and $254,252, respectively. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Pursuant to ASC No. 825, Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities and related customer deposits require fair value measurement on a recurring basis as the Company has received advance payment of restricted stock in a publicly traded company for contracted services. The Company has no exposure to gain or loss on the increase or decrease in the value of the marketable securities as any shortfall in the ultimate liquidated value of the securities will be supplemented by additional restricted stock from the customer and any liquidation in excess above the Companies billings will be returned to the customer. |
Revenue Recognition (Restated) | Revenue Recognition (Restated) |
The Company applies the revenue recognition provisions pursuant to ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. The guidance outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize the revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. |
Revenue is only recognized when the following four criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, 3) sales price is fixed and determinable and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. For multi-year contracts with upfront payments made by customers, the upfront payments are recognized over the longer of the contract period or the customer relationship. For contracts that include multiple deliverables such as the build out of customer facilities, the Company recognizes revenue when a milestone is reached in the contract such as securing the location, delivery of dispensing machines or completion of the facility. The contract terms are broken down in specific milestones with specific attributable revenue to be earned upon successful completion of the milestone terms. (e.g. if a milestone is completing construction on a client dispensary, the condition for the revenue to be recorded is after issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the newly completed facility. The Company will record a specified amount of revenue attributable to this milestone based on the contract). Equipment sales not associated with a consulting contract are recognized as the product is shipped and title passes. Advance payments from clients in advance of work performed are recorded as customer deposits on the balance sheet. |
An allowance for bad debt is established for any customer when their balance is deemed as possibly uncollectible. |
Provisions for estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are usually provided in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will at times allow customers to receive full refunds should regulatory events prevent the customer from being able to operate his or her contracted location. The provision for returns as well as an allowance for doubtful accounts is included in the Company’s balance sheet as determined by management. |
Cost of Revenues (Restated) | Cost of Revenues (Restated) |
Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with the delivery and distribution of our products and services. These include expenses related to the manufacture of our dispensary units, construction expense related to the customer dispensary, site selection and establishment of licensing requirements, and consulting expense for the continued management of the dispensary unit build out, server and security equipment, rent expense, energy and bandwidth costs, and support and maintenance costs prior to when the client moves in. We only begin capitalizing costs when we have obtained a license and a site for operation of a customer dispensary or cultivation center. The previously capitalized costs are charged to cost of revenue in the same period that the associated revenue is earned. In the case where it is determined that previously inventoried costs are in excess of the projected net realizable value of the sale of the licenses then the excess cost above net realizable value is written off to cost of revenues. In addition, cost of revenue related to our vaporizer line of products consists of direct procurement cost of the products along with costs associated with order fulfilment, shipping, inventory storage and inventory management costs. |
Basic and Fully Diluted Net Income/Loss Per Share | Basic and Fully Diluted Net Income/Loss Per Share |
Basic net income/loss per share is computed by dividing net income/loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share include the effects of any outstanding options, warrants and other potentially dilutive securities. The Company did not consider any potential common shares in the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods ending March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, due to the net loss, as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS. |
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had 3,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding with par value of $0.001 that could be converted into 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also had 295,854 warrants to purchase common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts |
The Company is subject to credit risk as it extends credit to our customers for work performed as specified in individual contracts. The Company extends credit to its customers, mostly on an unsecured basis after performing certain credit analysis. Our typical terms require a portion of the contract price up front and the rest payable upon certain agreed milestones. The Company’s management periodically reviews the creditworthiness of its customers and provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance for bad debts based on our assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Accounts still outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for bad debts accounts and a credit to accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s management considered all accounts outstanding fully collectible. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Vehicles | | | 5 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Furniture and Fixtures | | | 5 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Office equipment | | | 3 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 was $18,705 and $5,701 respectively. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. |
In addition, the Company’s management performs an evaluation of all uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorizes. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes. |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies |
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. |
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. |
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
There were various accounting updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or cash flows. |
Management's Evaluation of Subsequent Events | Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events |
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2014, through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 15 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. |
