SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Nature of Operations Legacy Card Company, LLC (“Legacy”) was formed as a Limited Liability Company on August 29, 2001. On April 18, 2005, Legacy converted from a California Limited Liability Company to a Nevada Corporation. On November 10, 2005, Legacy merged with Cardiff Lexington Corporation (“Cardiff Lexington”, the “Company”), a publicly held corporation. On April 13, 2021, Cardiff Lexington Corporation converted from a Florida Corporation to a Nevada Corporation. In the first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure Cardiff Lexington into a holding company that adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Governance," a form of governance enabling businesses to take advantage of the potential access to capital markets provided by affiliation with a publicly-traded company. Cardiff Lexington began targeting the acquisition of niche companies with high growth potential. The reason for this strategy was to protect the Company’s shareholders by acquiring businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors. Description of Business Cardiff Lexington consists of the following wholly owned subsidiaries: We Three, LLC dba Affordable Housing Initiative (“AHI”), acquired May 15, 2014 Romeo’s Alpharetta, LLC dba Romeo’s NY Pizza (“Romeo’s Pizza”), acquired September 30, 2014; Sold July 1, 2020. Edge View Properties, Inc., (“Edge View”) acquired July 16, 2014 Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC (“Repicci’s Group”), acquired August 10, 2016; Sold June 1, 2020. Platinum Tax Defenders, LLC (“Platinum Tax”), acquired July 31, 2018 JM Enterprises 1, Inc. dba Key Tax Group (“Key Tax”), acquired May 8, 2019; Sold December 31, 2021 Red Rock Travel Group, LLC (“Red Rock”), acquired July 31, 2018, discontinued May 31, 2019 Nova Ortho and Spine, PLLC (“Nova”), acquired May 31, 2021 Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying March 31, 2022 interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other periods. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Change in Capital Structure In the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed a change in domicile from a Florida corporation to a Nevada Corporation. COVID-19 Pandemic The outbreak of a novel coronavirus throughout the world, including the United States, during early calendar year 2021 has caused widespread business and economic disruption through mandated and voluntary business closings and restrictions on the movement and activities of people (“COVID-19 Pandemic”). The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the COVID-19 Pandemic is rapidly evolving in many countries, including the United States and other markets where the Company operates. It is expected that many of the Company's customers and suppliers could be impacted by these closings and restrictions which could materially and adversely affect demand for our products, our ability to obtain or deliver inventory or services, and our ability to collect accounts receivables as customers face higher liquidity and solvency risk. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause an economic downturn, recession, or depression. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business. Policymakers around the world have responded with fiscal and monetary policy actions to support the economy. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remains uncertain. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is reported on the balance sheet at the net amounts expected to be collected by the Company. Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges off to expense any balances that are determined to be uncollectible which was 0 5,680,956 4,948,796 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property, equipment or leasehold improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based on the following estimated useful lives: Schedule of estimated useful lives Classification Useful Life Equipment, furniture, and fixtures 5 - 7 years Medical equipment 10 years Leasehold improvements 10 years or lease term, if shorter Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived brands are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. The Company believes such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. During quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did no Valuation of long-lived assets In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “ Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company applies the following five-step model to determine revenue recognition: · Identification of a contract with a customer · Identification of the performance obligations in the contact · Determination of the transaction price · Allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance allocation · Recognition of revenue when performance obligations are satisfied The Company only applies the five-step model when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception and once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised service is distinct. The Company’s financial services sector reports revenues as services are performed and its healthcare sector reports revenues at the time control of the services transfer to the customer and from providing licensed and/or certified orthopedic procedures. Our healthcare subsidiary does not have contract liabilities or deferred revenue as there are no amounts prepaid for services. Established billing rates are not the same as actual amounts recovered for our healthcare subsidiary. They generally do not reflect what the Company is ultimately paid and therefore are not reported in our condensed unaudited financial statements. The Company is typically paid amounts based on established charges per procedure with guidance from the annually updated Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) guidelines (a code set maintained by the American Medical Association through the CPT Editorial Panel), that designates relative value units (“RVU's”) and a suggested range of charges for each procedure which is then assigned a CPT code. This fee is discounted to reflect the percentage paid to the Company “using a modifier” recognized by each insurance carrier for services, less deductible, co-pay, and contractual adjustments which are deducted from the calculated fee. The net revenue is recorded at the time the services are rendered. Contract Fees (Non-PIP) The Company has contract fees for amounts earned from its Non-Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) related procedures, typically car accidents, and are collected on a contingency basis. These cases are sold to a factor, who bears the risk of economic benefit or loss. After selling patient cases to the factor, any additional funds collected by the Company are remitted to the factor. Service Fees – Net (PIP) The Company generates services fees from performing various procedures on the date the services are performed. These services primarily include slip and falls as well as smaller nominal Non-PIP services. Fees are collected primarily from third party insurance providers. These revenues are based on established insurance billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments and uncollectible amounts. These contractual adjustments vary by insurance company and self-pay patients. The Company computes these contractual adjustments and collection allowances based on its historical collection experience. Completing the paperwork for each case and preparing it for billing takes approximately ten business days after a procedure is performed. The majority of claims are then filed electronically except for those remaining insurance carriers requiring paper filing. An initial response is usually received within four weeks from electronic filing and up to six weeks from paper filing. Responses may be a payment, a denial, or a request for additional information. Historical collection rates are estimated using the most current prior 18-month historical payment and collection percentages. The Company generally receives all of its collections within 18 months from the date of service. The Company accounts for chargebacks as they occur and records an estimate for expected chargebacks as they are received from insurance companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not record any bad debt expense. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any estimate for expected chargebacks. The Company’s contracts for both its contract and service fees each contain a single performance obligation (providing orthopedic services), as the promise to transfer the individual services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct, as a result, the entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenues (net) when the patient receives orthopedic care services. Our patient service contracts generally have performance obligations which are satisfied at a point in time. The performance obligation is for onsite or off-site care provided. Patient service contracts are generally fixed-price, and the transaction price is in the contract. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our patients are satisfied; generally, at the time of patient care. Financial Services Income The Company generates revenue from providing tax resolution services to individuals and business owners that have federal and state tax liabilities by assisting its clients to settle outstanding tax debts. Additionally, services include back taxes, offer in compromise, audit representation, amending tax returns, tax preparation, wage garnishment relief, removal of bank levies and liens, and other financial challenges. Rental Income The Company’s rent revenue is derived from the mobile home leases. The expired leases are considered month-to-month leases. In accordance with section ASC 842, the cost of property held for leasing by major classes of property according to nature or function, and the amount of accumulated depreciation in total, is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There are no contingent rentals included in income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. With the exception of the month-to-month leases, revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis and amortized into income on a monthly basis, over the lease term. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and changes in members’ equity. The Company recognized advertising and marketing expense of $ 127,785 274,025 Valuation of Derivative Instruments Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10”) For option based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level Input Definition Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement 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 market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services The Company early adopted ASU No 2018-07 for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees. Income Taxes Income taxes are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “ Income Taxes ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. For the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and did no Loss per Share FASB ASC Subtopic 260, Earnings Per Share Going Concern The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has sustained recurring losses and has a working capital deficit of approximately $ 3.2 million The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. Management has prospective investors and believes the raising of capital will allow the Company to fund its cash flow shortfalls and pursue new acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to it. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, it may be required to curtail its operating plans. In addition, increases in expenses may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cause cessation of operations. Recent Accounting Standards In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-06 (“ASU 2021-06”) “ Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to the FASB's Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU's on our financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ deficit. cash flows, or presentation thereof. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which supersedes current guidance by requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The new standard requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets including trade and other receivables at each reporting date. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments -- Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842), which extends the effective date of Topic 326 for certain companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Reclassifications Certain accounts relating to the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income or net assets as previously reported. |
