All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Online Corp., CirTran Media Corp., and Racore Network have been included through the dates of each dissolution during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and the liabilities have been included in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Products Corp., CirTran Corporation (Utah), CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Online Corp., CirTran Media Corp., Racore Network, and CirTran - Asia, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates In preparing the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid, short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We did not hold any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. Investment in Securities Our cost-method investment consists of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $300,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018. As we owned less than 20% of that company’s stock as of each date, and no significant influence or control exists, the investment is accounted for using the cost method. We evaluated the investment for impairment and determined there was none during the periods presented. Property and Equipment We incur certain costs associated with the design and development of molds and dies for our contract-manufacturing segment. These costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use. At that point, the costs are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives. We hold title to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of products. The capitalized cost, net of accumulated depreciation, associated with molds and dies included in property and equipment at December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $9,772 and $12,065, respectively. Depreciation expense is recognized in amounts equal to the cost of depreciable assets over estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the service life of the improvements. The straight-line method of depreciation and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating results. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We review our long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. We did not record expenses for the impairment of long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2019 or 2018. Financial Instruments with Derivative Features We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, we have financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a Multi-NomialLattis model. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2017, our common stock was suspended from trading. Because of this, the convertible notes no longer met the criteria to bifurcate the instrument under FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market value. Cost on manufactured inventories includes labor, material, and overhead. Overhead cost is based on indirect costs allocated to cost of sales, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory. Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost of sales or capitalized as inventory, based on management’s estimate of the benefit of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process. When there is evidence that the inventory’s value is less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value. We determine market value on current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists. We will seek agreements with manufacturing customers that require them to purchase their inventory items in the event they cancel their business with us. Stock-Based Compensation We have outstanding stock options to directors and employees, which are described more fully in Note 14 Stock Options and Warrants Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees Stock-based employee compensation was $800 and $480 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income Taxes We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets, liabilities, the carryforward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Research tax credits are recognized as used. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, notes payable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of our debt obligations approximate fair value. ASC 820-10-15, Fair Value Measurement-Overall-Scope and Scope Exceptions Level 1—Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3—Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Accounts payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities have been valued using level 3 inputs. Our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair valued measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, consisted of the following: Total Fair Value Quoted prices in Significant other Significant Derivative liabilities $ 894,079 $ - $ - $ 894,079 Total Fair Value Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable Significant Derivative liabilities $ - $ - $ - $ - Loss Per Share Basic loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable. We had 569,029,796 potentially issuable common shares at December 31, 2019. However, the impacts of the potentially issuable common shares were excluded from the diluted loss per common shares outstanding given the anti-dilutive effect such shares have on net losses per common share. Short-term Advances We have short-term advances with various individuals. These advances are due upon demand, carry no interest, and are not collateralized. These advances are classified as short-term liabilities. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recently issued accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that require adoption and that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption. |
