NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Going Concern |
|
The Company incurred losses from operations of approximately $3,810,000 and $1,448,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,826,000 at December 31, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents was approximately $161,000 as of December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company has not been able to generate positive cash from operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
|
The Company plans on funding operations and liquidity needs from the sales of its products and services, licensing arrangements, debt financing and/or sales of its common stock and notes convertible into common stock. There can be no assurance that additional funds required for continued operations during the next year or thereafter will be generated from our operations. |
|
Should the Company seek additional funds from external sources such as debt or additional equity financings or other potential sources, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise sufficient capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. |
|
During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company raised gross proceeds of $765,262 through the sale of 2,668,021 shares of common stock and equity units (see note 8 for additional details). |
|
Accordingly, the Company's existence is dependent on management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Florida Corporation) (TOMI-Florida), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) (TOMI-Nevada). The Company’s 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental-China (TOMI-China), has been dormant since its formation in April 2011. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities. |
|
Reclassification of Accounts |
|
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position. |
|
Fair Value Measurements |
|
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv)willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following: |
|
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | | | | |
| Level 2: | Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | | | | |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities. | | | | |
|
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements. |
|
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded value of convertible debt approximates its fair value as the terms and rates approximate market rates (See also Note 6) |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
|
Inventories |
|
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (”FIFO”) method. Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and finished goods. |
|
Property and Equipment |
|
We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. |
|
Deferred Financing Costs |
|
The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs as it relates to convertible debt issuance cost. These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures. Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to approximately $342,000and $234,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Income taxes |
|
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized; in accordance with ASC guidance for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been fully reserved at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted. |
|
Income (Loss) Per Share |
|
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversions of debentures. |
|
Potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2014, consisted of 17,496,552 common shares from convertible debentures, 28,051,408 common shares from outstanding warrants (including 7,611,000 warrants issued in conjunction with the above convertible notes), 60,000 common shares from options and 510,000 common shares from convertible Series A preferred stock. |
|
Potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2013, consisted of 17,496,552 common shares from convertible debentures, 19,325,800 common shares from outstanding warrants (including 7,611,000 warrants issued in conjunction with the above convertible notes), 60,000 common shares from options and 510,000 common shares from convertible Series A preferred stock. Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive. |
|
The following provides a reconciliation of the shares used in calculating the per share amounts for the periods presented: |

Revenue Recognition |
|
For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), ASC 718, Compensation- “Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan calls for the Company, through a committee of its Board of Directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of the grant with a term no greater than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding equity securities are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. On the date of a grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had 712,291 shares available to be issued under the Plan. |
|
On February 11, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), subject to shareholder approval, intended to attract and retain individuals of experience and ability, to provide incentive to our employees, consultants, and non-employee directors, to encourage employee and director proprietary interests in us, and to encourage employees to remain in our employ. Each of the named executive officers is eligible for annual equity awards, which are granted pursuant to the Plan. The Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards (each, an “Award”). A maximum of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for potential issuance pursuant to Awards under the Plan. As of December 31, 2014, no shares have been issued under the 2014 Stock Option Plan. |
|
Concentrations of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000 at times during the year. |
|
Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets |
|
The Company assesseslong-lived assets for potential impairments at the end of each year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset. In evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the Company measures recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the Company’s long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. The Company bases its calculations of the estimated fair value of its long-lived assets on the income approach. For the income approach, The Company usesan internally developed discounted cash flow model that include, among others, the following assumptions: projections of revenues and expenses and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. We base these assumptions on our historical data and experience, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and our expectations. |
|
We have had no long-lived asset impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s most recent detailed test disclosed an estimated fair value of its patents and trademarks that exceeded its’ respective carrying amount based on our model and assumptions. |
|
Advertising and Promotional Expenses |
|
The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, advertising and promotional expenses were approximately $11,000 and $6,000, respectively. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In May of 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements. |
