Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation |
|
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2015. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. |
Emerging Growth Company | Emerging Growth Company |
|
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable |
|
The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its processors. The Company charges certain merchants for processing services at a bundled rate based on a percentage of the dollar amount of each transaction and, in some instances, additional fees are charged for each transaction. The Company charges other merchant customers a flat fee per transaction, and may also charge miscellaneous fees to customers, including fees for returns, monthly minimums, and other miscellaneous services. All the charges and collections thereon flow through processors who then remit the fee due the Company within the month following the actual charges. |
Advertising | Advertising |
|
The Company records advertising costs as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 advertising expense was $3,500. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities |
|
The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred. |
Patents | Patents |
|
The Company capitalizes patent pending acquisition costs, legal fees and filing costs associated with the development and filing of its patents. Patents are generally amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years using the straight-line method beginning on the issue date. No amortization expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, as the Company’s patents are still pending as of March 31, 2015. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: |
|
Office equipment and furniture | 5 years | | | | | | | |
Computer hardware and software | 3 years | | | | | | | |
|
The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014: |
|
| | March 31, | | December 31, |
| | 2015 | | 2014 |
Furniture and Equipment | | $ | 1,929 | | | $ | 1,929 | |
Computer Hardware | | | 1,188 | | | | 1,188 | |
Accumulated depreciation | | | (1,871 | ) | | | (1,676 | ) |
Balance | | $ | 1,246 | | | $ | 1,441 | |
|
Depreciation expense of $195 and $99 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that the following four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which commissions are earned. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly. |
|
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
|
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows: |
|
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
|
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; |
|
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
|
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market. |
|
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of marketable securities. Marketable securities are adjusted to fair value each balance sheet date, based on quoted prices; which are considered level 1 inputs (see Note 6). The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s marketable securities were $13,440 and $30,000, respectively. |
|
The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to stockholders approximate fair value to their short term. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment. |
|
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties. |
|
The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2010 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions. |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
|
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, included options to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive. |
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation | Accounting for Stock-based Compensation |
|
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income |
|
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Items included in the Company’s comprehensive loss consist of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities. |
