The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
|
Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted and the financial statements might not be indicative of a full year’s results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. |
|
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Goodwill |
|
Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Our annual testing date is December 31. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the carrying value of net assets to the fair value of the related operations. If the fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value for goodwill is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations, and is compared to its carrying value. The shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of goodwill impairment. Intangibles consist of brand and trade names acquired in business combinations. We test these intangibles for impairment by comparing their carrying value to current projections of discounted cash flows attributable to the brand and trade names. Any excess carrying value over the amount of discounted cash flows represents the amount of the impairment. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment to various customers when all performance obligations are met and collectability is reasonably assured revenue is recognized. Upon shipment to specific customers with the right of return the Company defers revenues as returns are not reasonably estimable. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred revenue totaled $1,075,182 and $1,269,470, respectively. |
|
Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Goods Sold |
|
Deferred revenue consists substantially of amounts billed or payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Deferred cost of goods sold as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $493,539 and $569,036, respectively, related to deferred product revenues includes direct product costs. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues and associated cost of goods sold are recognized. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. |
|
Loss Per Common Share |
|
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
For financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying values approximated their fair value. |
|
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. |
