SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 4 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management evaluates these significant estimates and assumptions including those related to the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, stock based compensation, derivative financial instruments, income taxes and related valuation allowances, accounts receivable and inventory, and other matters that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 3D-ID, LogicMark and Fit Pay. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Concentrations of Credit Risk During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized revenue of $7,057,032 and $767,751, respectively, from World-Ventures Holdings, LLC (“WVH”), a related party based on its position as the Company’s largest stockholder. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s accounts receivable balance included $1,893,662 due from WVH. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability of the sale is reasonably assured. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable balances and adjusts the receivable reserves as necessary whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Inventory The Company performs regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizable value of its inventories. The Company adjusts the carrying value of the inventory as necessary with estimated valuation reserves for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory by comparing the individual inventory parts to forecasted product demand or production requirements. As of September 30, 2017, inventory was comprised of $3,756,866 in raw materials and $1,121,329 in finished goods on hand. Inventory at December 31, 2016 was comprised of $3,797,499 in raw materials and $1,544,001 in finished goods on hand. The Company is required to prepay for raw materials with certain vendors until credit terms can be established. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had prepaid inventory of $1,321,230 and $1,089,770, respectively. These prepayments were made primarily for raw materials inventory and prepaid inventory is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill The Company’s goodwill relates to the acquisitions of LogicMark and Fit Pay. The Company began testing goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of 2017 as it relates to the acquisition of LogicMark which occurred on July 25, 2016. As part of the annual evaluation, the Company utilized the option to first assess qualitative factors, which include but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, as well as the financial performance of LogicMark. In accordance with applicable guidance, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit if, after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its reporting unit’s fair value is greater than its carrying amount. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of LogicMark exceeded its respective carrying amount and therefore, a quantitative assessment was not required. The Company has not recognized any goodwill impairment in 2017 in connection with its annual impairment test. The Company will begin testing the Fit Pay related goodwill for impairment annually in the second quarter of each year. 6 Other Intangible Assets The Company’s intangible assets are all related to the acquisitions of LogicMark and Fit Pay and are included in other intangible assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017, the other intangible assets related to the acquisition of LogicMark are comprised of patents of $3,657,833; trademarks of $1,182,973; and customer relationships of $2,875,123. At December 31, 2016, the other intangible assets are comprised of patents of $3,936,612; trademarks of $1,230,002; and customer relationships of $3,119,111. The Company will continue amortizing these intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which for the patents, trademarks and customer relationships are 11 years; 20 years; and 10 years, respectively. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had amortization expense of $569,796 and $192,019, respectively related to the LogicMark intangible assets. At September 30, 2017, the other intangible assets related to the acquisition of Fit Pay, which was completed on May 23, 2017, are comprised of trademarks of $392,286; technology of $3,225,675; and customer relationships of $1,360,820. The Company will continue amortizing these intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which for trademarks, technology and customer relationships are 25 years; 7 years; and 6 years, respectively. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had amortization expense of $266,619 and $187,244, respectively, related to the Fit Pay intangible assets. As of September 30, 2017, amortization expense estimated for the remainder of fiscal year 2017 related to both the LogicMark and Fit Pay intangibles is approximately $380,000 and for each of the next five(5) fiscal years, 2018 through 2022, the amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $1,505,000 per year. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or as earned. The Company generally issues new shares of common stock to satisfy conversion and warrant exercises. Net Loss per Share Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities of 1,151,374 realizable from the convertible exchange notes and related accrued interest and from the exercise of 3,926,251 warrants as of September 30, 2017 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2016, potentially dilutive securities realizable from the convertible Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, and from the exercise of 1,319,049 warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price(s); (4) allocate the transaction price(s) to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires advanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of FASB’s revenue standard under ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. As a result of ASU 2015-14, the guidance under ASU 2014-09 shall apply for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that period. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarified the implementation guidance regarding performance obligations and licensing arrangements. As permitted under the standard, the Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and recognize the cumulative effect to existing contracts in opening retained earnings on the effective date. The Company is currently reviewing and evaluating this guidance and its impact on its consolidated financial statements. 7 In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 (“ASU 2016-12”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow- Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” ASU 2016-12 will affect all entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09 which is not yet effective, the amendments in this update affect narrow aspects of Topic 606 including among others: assessing collectability criterion, noncash consideration, and presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-12 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (“ASU No. 2016-18”). The amendments address diversity in practice that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash and require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. The amendments in this update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, it (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
