Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation Consolidation Recent Developments On December 28, 2018, CoinTracking entered into an agreement on the purchase and assignment of shares, agreements on a purchase price of loan agreement, and a compensation agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”), pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Germany, with Kachel Holding GmbH, an entity formed under the laws of the Republic of Germany (“Kachel Holding”), and CoinTracking GmbH. On January 2, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement, CoinTracking sold 12,525 shares of equity interest in CoinTracking GmbH, representing 50.1% of the equity interests in CoinTracking GmbH and 100% of CoinTracking’s holdings in CoinTracking GmbH, to Kachel Holding in exchange for $2,200,000, of which (i) $1,000,000 was paid in cash to CoinTracking and (ii) $1,200,000 was applied toward the repayment of an outstanding loan in the amount of $1,500,000 from CoinTracking GmbH to CoinTracking. As a result of the sale of CoinTracking’s entire equity ownership stake in CoinTracking GmbH, and a strategic shift in the Company’s business in the fourth quarter of 2018 away from cryptocurrency investing to blockchain consulting and education, the operating results associated with these assets and liabilities were reclassified to give effect to these changes and were reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for 2018. In 2019, the Company has holdings of cryptocurrency from its investment segment, and therefore has classified those assets as assets held for sale in its consolidated balance sheets, and reports current operating results as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the current year. Going Concern The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management is evaluating different strategies to obtain financing to fund the Company’s expenses and achieve a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s current cost structure. Financing strategies may include, but are not limited to, private placements of capital stock, debt borrowings, partnerships and/or collaborations. There can be no assurance that any of these future-funding efforts will be successful or that the Company will be able to replace the revenues lost as a result of the sale of CoinTracking GmbH, for 2020 and beyond. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Use of estimates Cash and cash equivalents Investments in cryptocurrency Realized gains and losses on sales of investments in cryptocurrency, and impairment losses, are included in other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investments – non-cryptocurrency In May 2019, we received tokens (Cosmos) and immediately liquidated them for $70,634 in proceeds. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has invested $667,818 as part of nine financings, including $500,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018. The investments include $417,818 invested in accordance with eight token pre-sale and simple agreement for future tokens (“SAFT”) agreements. The agreements provide for the issuance of tokens in anticipation of a future token generation event, with the number of tokens predetermined based on the price established in each respective agreement. In addition, the Company invested $250,000 as part of a financing in accordance with a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”) agreement, representing 4% interest, at the time of the investment, in a private enterprise. The Company’s SAFE investment may take the form of equity in the future, relating to a potential equity financing or initial public offering and a token grant in the event of a successful Initial Coin Offering (“ICO”) by the enterprise. The Company received tokens for $255,763 of its investments, at cost, during 2018 which have been transferred to an active exchange and included in Investments in Cryptocurrency in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has evaluated the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 325-20 Investments – Other, in determining to account for its investments, non-cryptocurrency using the cost method since the investments are not marketable and do not give the Company significant influence. The Company has determined that $160,050 of its remaining token pre-sale or SAFT investments as of December 31, 2018 were impaired as the Company determined that a token generation event and trading on an active change were remote. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that its SAFE investment is impaired as the enterprise changed its primary business model and requires additional financing to bring its products to market. Therefore, the Company has recorded an impairment loss of $250,000, representing the full value of its investment. Equipment Impairment of long-lived assets – Business combination – Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets The Company assesses whether goodwill impairment and indefinite lived intangible assets exists using both qualitative and quantitative assessments. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If based on this qualitative assessment the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine whether a goodwill impairment exists at the reporting unit. The Company performed the annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2018 using a quantitative assessment, and recorded an intangible asset impairment of $993,833, and $9,356,105 for goodwill, related to the intangible assets and goodwill acquired in connection with the purchase of CoinTracking GmbH (See Note 9 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information). In addition, we capitalized certain costs incurred with developing our CoinTracking SaaS platform in accordance with ASC 985-20, Software — Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed once technological feasibility has been established. Capitalized software costs primarily include i) external direct costs of services utilized in software development and ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with software development. We amortized our capitalized software costs over a five-year period, reflecting the estimated useful lives of the assets. Foreign Currency Translation Income taxes – When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. As of December 31, 2019, we are subject to taxation in the U.S., as well as state and German taxes. The Company has not been audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, nor has the Company been audited by any states or in Germany. On January 2, 2019, we sold our entire equity ownership stake in CoinTracking GmbH. Fair value measurements Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurable date. Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Revenue recognition ● Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer ● Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract ● Step 3: Determine the transaction price ● Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract ● Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract). If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following: Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method for contracts as of the date of initial application. There is no cumulative impact to the Company’s retained earnings at January 1, 2018. See “Note 6 – Subscription Revenue Recognition” for additional information on the impact to the Company. Share-based compensation Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to non-employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718. ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”), defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete and (ii) the instruments are vested. The compensation cost is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period when the award vests. As a result, stock option-based payments to non-employees can result in significant volatility in compensation expense. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to the (i) expected volatility of the Company’s common stock price, (ii) expected life of the award, which for options is the period of time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise, and (iii) risk-free interest rate.
