Note 1. Organization, Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
Twentyfour/seven Ventures, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Colorado on March 8, 2007. The Company is engaged in the bail bond business. |
|
|
|
Principles of consolidation |
|
|
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Twentyfour/seven Ventures, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, A Alpha Bail Bonds, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents |
|
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. |
|
|
|
Accounts receivable |
|
|
|
The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had no balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts. |
|
|
|
Collateral |
|
|
|
Collateral which is held by the Company must be returned at the request of the defendant once the bail is exonerated. Any collateral returned may be reduced by any uncollected premium or by any other outstanding charges. Any amount retained would be recognized as income. Since collateral is only returned at the request of a defendant, it is characterized as a refundable deposit. Collateral funds held at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $82,459 and $23,100. |
|
|
|
Property and equipment |
|
|
|
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under straight line methods over each item's estimated useful life, generally seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years for office equipment. Depreciation expense for 2013 and 2012 was $570 and $2,609. |
|
|
|
Revenue recognition |
|
|
|
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms. Specifically, revenue from bond premiums is recognized when the bond has been written and is in force, and the client has paid the premium or collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from agency relationships on a gross basis, as the Company is the sole obligor for the bond to both the client and the court, the Company within legal limits may set bond fees where it wishes, and the Company is responsible for performing on the bond should the client default. The Company includes all direct costs related to the writing and fulfillment of bonds (dismissal or payment) in costs of revenues including bond fees, forfeitures, bounty fees, direct liability insurance costs, and direct labor and office costs. |
|
|
|
Advertising costs |
|
|
|
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs in 2013 and 2012, of $17,990 and $28,042, respectively. |
|
|
|
Income tax |
|
|
|
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. |
|
|
|
Net income (loss) per share |
|
|
|
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding. |
|
|
|
Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet, approximates fair value due to their short term maturities. |
|
|
|
Long-Lived Assets |
|
|
|
In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. |
|
|
|
Products and services, geographic areas and major customers |
|
|
|
The Company earns revenue from writing bail bonds, and has no other separate lines of business. All premiums in 2013 and 2012 were earned domestically and written to external customers. No one customer accounted for over 10% of premiums. |
|
|
|
Reclassifications |
|
|
|
Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. |
