SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 3 – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Use of estimates in the financial statements The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated 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 value of acquired assets and liabilities, stock based compensation, derivative instruments, income taxes, accounts receivable and inventories, right-of-use assets 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. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition The Company's revenues consist of product sales to either end customers or to distributors and its sales are recognized at a point-in-time under the core principle of recognizing revenue when control of the product transfers to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it ships or delivers the product from its fulfillment center to its customer, when the customer accepts and has legal title of the product, and the Company has a present right to payment for the product. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no sales recognized over time. The Company invoices its customers at the same time that the Company's performance obligation is satisfied. The Company generally receives customer orders with a specified delivery date and orders typically fluctuate from month-to-month based on customer demand and general business conditions. The Company offers standard product warranty coverage which provides assurance that the Company's products will conform to the contractually agreed-upon specifications for a limited period from the date of shipment. The Company's warranty liabilities and related expense have not been material and were not material in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. 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. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $126,733. 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 March 31, 2019, inventory was comprised of $142,567 in raw materials and $1,081,770 in finished goods on hand. Inventory at December 31, 2018 was comprised of $870,513 in finished goods on hand. The Company is required to prepay for certain inventory with certain vendors until credit terms can be established. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had prepaid inventory of $271,242 and $317,488, respectively. These prepayments were made primarily for finished goods inventory, and prepaid inventory is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Other Intangible Assets At March 31, 2019, the other intangible assets relating to the acquisition of LogicMark are comprised of patents of $3,099,254; trademarks of $1,088,742; and customer relationships of $2,386,251. At December 31, 2018, the other intangible assets relating to the acquisition of LogicMark are comprised of patents of $3,191,159; trademarks of $1,104,246; and customer relationships of $2,466,687. 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had amortization expense of $187,845 and $187,845, respectively, related to the LogicMark intangible assets. As of March 31, 2019, total amortization expense estimated for the remainder of fiscal year 2019 is approximately $574,000, and for each of the next five fiscal years, 2020 through 2024, the total amortization expense is estimated to be as follows: 2020 - $762,000; 2021 - $762,000; 2022 - $762,000; 2023 - $762,000; and 2024 - $762,000. 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. Stock-based compensation is recorded in the same component of operating expenses as if it were paid in cash. 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 shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities from the exercise of warrants to purchase 4,782,448 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2019 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2018, potentially dilutive securities from the exercise of warrants to purchase 4,602,650 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Reclassifications Certain accounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparison purposes to conform to the presentation of the current period consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2018-13, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of the FASB's disclosure framework project. Adoption of this guidance is required for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact of this update on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, "I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception". Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity," because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU was adopted and did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 84 2)", Prior to the adoption, the Company evaluated Topic 842, including the initial review of any necessary changes to existing processes and systems that would be required to implement this standard, in order to determine its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the updated modified retrospective transition approach allowed under ASU 2018-11 and did not restate prior periods. The Company recognized ROU assets and related lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 of approximately $267,516 and $269,820, respectively, related to its operating lease commitments, and there was no cumulative impact on retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2019, nor did it have any impact on the Company's compliance with debt covenants. The adoption of Topic 842 provided various optional practical expedients in transition, some of which the Company elected. Going forward, the impact of Topic 842 on the Company's consolidated financial statements will be dependent upon the Company's lease portfolio. The accounting for finance leases (formerly referred to as "capital leases") remains substantially unchanged. See Note 7 herein for further details regarding the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 and other information related to the Company's lease portfolio. Other recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |
