SUMMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2019 from which the accompanying December 31, 2018 numbers are derived. |
Principles of Consolidation | The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Vi3 Technologies, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Revenue Recognition | Topic ASC 606 is effective as of the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017 using either of two methods: (1) retrospective application of Topic ASC 606 to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Topic ASC 606 or (2) retrospective application of Topic ASC 606 with the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic ASC 606 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per Topic ASC 606. We adopted Topic ASC 606 pursuant to the method (2) and we determined that any cumulative effect for the initial application did not require an adjustment to retained earnings at January 1, 2018. For revenue recognition arrangements that we determine are within the scope of Topic ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we evaluate the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. We recognize revenue upon completion of our performance obligations or expiration of the contractual time to use services. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash balances are primarily maintained at two separate banks. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, as a charge to bad debt expense, where collection is considered to be doubtful due to credit issues. These allowances together reflect the Company’s estimate of potential losses inherent in accounts receivable balances, based on historical loss and known factors impacting its customers. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $17,026 and $0 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables. |
Intangible Assets | Customer contracts acquired were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are being amortized over their estimated useful life of five years using the straight-line method. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | The Company records an impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, other than goodwill, when events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their remaining lives are less than the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value, which is typically calculated using the discounted cash flow method. The Company did not record any impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018. |
Concentration of Risk | Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are cash and accounts receivable. See Note 15 for significant customer concentration disclosure. Cash is maintained with two separate major financial institutions in the United States and may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and, therefore, bear minimal risk. |
Equipment and Software Licenses | Equipment and software licenses are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of one to ten years. |
Earnings and Loss per Share | Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. There were approximately 9,139,000 and 8,142,000 of common stock equivalents excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively because their effect is anti-dilutive. |
Marketing Costs | Marketing costs, which are expensed as incurred, totaled approximately $29,192 and $84,214 and $687 and $11,341 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, is measured in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. For all stock options, the Company recognizes expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 for the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based employee and non-employee compensation. |
Leases | Leases of assets where the Company has assumed substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are recognized at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The interest element of the finance leases are accounted for as finance costs and expensed over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. |
Income Taxes | The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company has determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2019, no accrued interest or penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the balance sheet. |
