Accounting Policies (Policies) | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation . The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates . Blackboxstocks financial statement preparation requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reporting of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to report these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash | Cash . Cash includes all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments . The Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements . During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment . The Companys property and equipment consists of computer servers and related equipment to facilitate the Blackbox System software, which was acquired during 2015 and placed in service effective January 1, 2016 and depreciated on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets . The Company's accounting policy regarding the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property, equipment and purchased intangible assets with finite lives, is to review the carrying value of the assets if the facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this review indicates that the carrying value will not be recoverable, as determined based on the projected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to its estimated fair value. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes . The Company will recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. Management evaluates the probability of the realization of its deferred income tax assets. Management determined that because the Company has not yet generated taxable income, it is unlikely that a tax benefit will be realized from these operating loss carry forwards and deductible temporary differences. Accordingly, the deferred income tax asset is offset by a full valuation allowance. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes |
Earnings or (Loss) Per Share | Earnings or (Loss) Per Share . Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Therefore, because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the potential dilution would be 5,000,000 shares of common stock in the event the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are converted. |
Share-Based Payment | Share-Based Payment . Under ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition . The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of subscriptions for the use of the Blackbox System web application, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and collectability is probable.

Software Development Costs | Software Development Costs . The Company is engaged in the development of its proprietary Blackbox System technology, an algorithm driven system, through a combination of in-house system analysts and outside contractors. Under the guidelines of ASC Topic 985, Software |
Contingencies | 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 Companys management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves 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 Companys 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. If the assessment of a contingency indicates 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 Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential 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 to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed. |
