Organization and Recent Developments | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Halo Companies, Inc. (Halo, HCI or the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 9, 1986. Its principal executive offices are located at 18451 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 100, Dallas, Texas 75287. On December 15, 2014, the Company moved from its previous office location at 7668 Warren Parkway, Suite 350, Frisco, Texas 75034. Unless otherwise provided in footnotes, all references from this point forward in this Report to we, us, our company, our, or the Company refer to the combined Halo Companies, Inc. entity, together with its subsidiaries. Halo has multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries including Halo Group Inc. (HGI), Halo Asset Management, LLC (HAM), Halo Portfolio Advisors, LLC (HPA), and Halo Benefits, Inc. (HBI). HGI is the management and shared services operating company. HAM provides asset management and mortgage servicing services to investors and asset owners including all aspects of buying and managing distressed real estate owned (REO) and non-performing loans. HPA exists to market the Companys operations as a turnkey solution for strategic business to business opportunities with HAMs investors and asset owners, major debt servicers and field service providers, lenders, and mortgage backed securities holders. HBI was originally established as an association benefit services to customers throughout the United States and although a non-operating entity, remains a subsidiary due to its historical net operating loss carryforward. During March 2015, the Company entered into a $250,000 compromise and settlement agreement with the court appointed receivership holding 17,808,000 shares of the Companys common stock. This stock was subject to the unearned clawback provisions discussed in Note 16 below. The physical stock certificate has been sent to the Companys transfer agent to immediately cancel those respective outstanding shares of that Agreement. Further, this settlement agreement calls for a relinquishment and abandonment of any and all claims against Halo on 90,000 shares of the Companys Series X Preferred stock belonging to the receivership (original liquidation value of $10 per share). Lastly, the Company had $375,665 in accounts receivable owed from the receivership which had previously been fully reserved. With the settlement now in place, the Company wrote off this accounts receivable balance and released the allowance reserve held. The Settlement requires $250,000 to be paid by the Company to the receivership over a twelve month period with the start date April 1, 2015. As the receivership owed the Company $22,500 for success fees previously earned (this receivable was not part of the $375,665 in fully reserved accounts receivable noted above), the first $22,500 of the $250,000 owed was settled via a reduction of the $22,500 accounts receivable balance for the April 1 and part of the May 1, 2015 scheduled payments. During March 2015, an additional 1,272,000 shares of the companys common stock, all subject to the clawback provisions of the Agreement (defined in Note 16), have also been sent to the Companys transfer agent to immediately cancel those respective common shares of that Agreement but as of the time of this filing those shares have not yet been canceled. The Company expects that to happen shortly. Secondarily, the Company is actively pursuing the procurement of an additional physical certificate from a respective individual still in possession of the common stock certificate. As of the time of this Form 10-Q, 3,392,000 of the 21,200,000 shares issued as part of the Agreement remain outstanding. On March 27, 2015, Jimmy Mauldin was elected to the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy left by Tony Chrons departure. On March 27, 2015, Paul Williams has been appointed to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Williams currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Board, Treasurer and Assistant Secretary of the Company. |

Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included (consisting of normal recurring accruals). The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim information. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes revenue in the period in which services are earned and realizable. To further understand the Companys business, HAM earns fees from its clients for its boarding and initial asset management fee, success fees, and its monthly servicing fee. The boarding and initial asset management services are performed in the first 30-60 days of assets being boarded and include; IRR analysis of loans boarded, detailed asset level workout exit strategy analysis, boarding the assets onto HAMs proprietary software platform and the integrated servicing platform, identification and oversight of custodial files, oversight of mortgage/deed assignment from previous servicer, oversight of title policy administration work, and delinquent property tax research and exposure review. HAMs monthly success fees are earned for completing its default and asset disposition services including note sales, originating owner finance agreements, and cash sales of REO properties owned by the client. HAMs servicing fees are earned monthly and are calculated on a monthly unit price for assets under management. The Company is currently exploring potential opportunities with several client relationships that would allow the Company to implement its internally used asset management software platform as an external service for those customers. This is commonly known as Software as a Service (SaaS). The Company entered into a SaaS contract with one client who prepaid for a 12 month service plan during early 2015. Cash receipts from customers in advance of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and will be earned over the entire SaaS contract period. The Company is still in its research phase of determining if this service line will remain ancillary or become a primary business component of the Company. HAM and HPA receivables are typically paid the month following services performed. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Companys accounts receivable are made up of the following percentages; HAM at 47% and 91% and HPA at 53% and 9%, respectively. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: past transaction history with the customer, current economic and industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a charge to earnings based on actual historical trends and individual account analysis. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written-off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The below table summarizes the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: Balance at Beginning of Period Increase in the Provision Accounts Receivable Write-offs Balance at End of Period Six Months ended June 30, 2015 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 375,665 $ 1 $ 375,666 $ 0 Year ended December 31, 2014 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 375,665 $ 135 $ 135 $ 375,665 As of December 31, 2014, the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts is made up of the following percentages; HAM at 96% and HPA at 4%, respectively. The HAM and HPA allowance was related to one client in a court appointed receivership. As discussed in Note 1 above, the March 2015 settlement agreement entered into by the Company and the receivership did not pay the fully reserved accounts receivable. As such, the accounts receivable balance was written off and the allowance for doubtful accounts was fully reduced to zero. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing (i) net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator), by (ii) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period (denominator). Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were 4,623,959 and 4,596,126 shares, respectively, underlying potentially dilutive convertible preferred stock and stock options outstanding. These shares were not included in dilutive weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 because their effect is anti-dilutive due to the Companys reported net loss. Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the Companys revenue recognition method and derivative liabilities. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include the financial results of HCI, HGI, HBI, HPA and HAM. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Other Assets At June 30, 2015, other assets were $16,667 ($40,000 in total origination fees paid offset by $23,333 in accumulated amortization of those fees) for the senior unsecured promissory note discussed in Note 9. The fees are to be amortized over the life of the promissory note. At December 31, 2014, other assets were $23,333 ($40,000 in total origination fees offset by $16,667 in accumulated amortization) for the senior unsecured promissory note. Property, Equipment and Software Property, equipment, and software are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, ranging from three to seven years. Provisions for depreciation are made using the straight-line method. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the cost of the property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to other general and administrative expenses. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these items. The estimated fair value of the notes payable and subordinated debt approximates the carrying amounts as they bear market interest rates. The Company considers the warrants related to its subordinated debt to be derivatives, and the Company records the fair value of the derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities are included in gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative in the consolidated statements of operations. The Companys derivative liability has been classified as a Level III valuation according to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820. Internally Developed Software Internally developed legacy application software consisting of database, customer relations management, process management and internal reporting modules are used in each of the Companys subsidiaries. The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. ASC 350 requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when (i) the preliminary project stage is complete, (ii) management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and (iii) it is probable both that the project will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended. Management has determined that a significant portion of costs incurred for internally developed software came from the preliminary project and post-implementation stages; as such, no costs for internally developed software were capitalized. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is the estimated value at which the asset could be bought or sold in a transaction between willing parties. There were no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. The Company then assesses the likelihood of realizing benefits related to such assets by considering factors such as historical taxable income and the Companys ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the relevant jurisdictions in future years. Based on the aforementioned factors, if the realization of these assets is not likely a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets. The Company accounts for its position in tax uncertainties under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 establishes standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740-10 provides several clarifications related to uncertain tax positions. Most notably, a more likely-than-not standard for initial recognition of tax positions, a presumption of audit detection and a measurement of recognized tax benefits based on the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of realization. ASC 740-10 applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. First, the Company must determine whether any amount of the tax benefit may be recognized. Second, the Company determines how much of the tax benefit should be recognized (this would only apply to tax positions that qualify for recognition.) The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014. The Company incurred no penalties or interest for taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014. The Company is subject to a three year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. Recent Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018. |

Concentrations of Credit Risk | NOTE 3. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains aggregate cash balances, at times, with financial institutions, which are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the FDIC insured deposit accounts up to $250,000. At June 30, 2015, the Companys cash accounts were all less than the $250,000 FDIC insured amount and as such were insured in full. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. In the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Because of the credit risk involved, management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its estimate of amounts which will eventually become uncollectible. In the event of complete non-performance by the Companys customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding accounts receivable balance at the date of non-performance. |

Operating Segments | NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company has several operating segments as listed below and as defined in Note 1. The results for these operating segments are based on our internal management structure and review process. We define our operating segments by service industry. If the management structure and/or allocation process changes, allocations may change. See the following summary of operating segment reporting; Operating Segments For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Revenue: Halo Asset Management $ 275,820 $ 579,902 $ 516,719 $ 882,419 Halo Portfolio Advisors 199,184 248,003 1,378,052 537,774 Other 30,144 103,894 Net revenue $ 505,148 $ 827,905 $ 1,998,665 $ 1,420,193 Operating income (loss): Halo Asset Management $ 196,685 $ 392,799 $ 316,112 $ 432,412 Halo Portfolio Advisors 42,957 39,668 516,295 85,651 Other Less: Corporate expenses (a) (1,045,592 ) (548,887 ) (2,105,782 ) (1,070,219 ) Operating income (loss): $ (805,950 ) $ (116,420 ) $ (1,273,375 ) $ (552,156 ) a. Corporate expenses include salaries, benefits and other expenses, including rent and general and administrative expenses, related to corporate office overhead and functions that benefit all operating segments. Corporate expenses also include interest expense. Corporate expenses are expenses that the Company does not directly allocate to any segment above. Allocating these indirect expenses to operating segments would require an imprecise allocation methodology. Further, there are no material amounts that are the elimination or reversal of transactions between the above reportable operating segments. The assets of the Company consist primarily of cash, trade accounts receivable, and property, equipment and software. Cash is managed at the corporate level of the Company and not at the segment level. Each of the remaining primary assets has been discussed in detail, including the applicable operating segment for which the assets and liabilities reside, in the consolidated notes to the financial statements. As such, the duplication is not warranted in this footnote. All debt of the Company is recorded at the corporate parent companies HCI and HGI. All interest expense is included in corporate expenses above. Interest expense is discussed in further detail in Notes 8, 9, 10 and 11. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014, there have been no material transactions between reportable units that would materially affect an operating segment profit or loss. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. |

Going Concern | NOTE 5. GOING CONCERN The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the Company will need to manage additional asset units under contract and/or additional financing to fully implement its business plan, including continued growth and establishment of a stronger brand name of HAMs asset management in the distressed asset sector. The Company is actively seeking growth of its asset units under management, both organically and via new client relationships. Management, in the ordinary course of business, is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking financing via equity or debt, or both from third parties. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives and overhead expenditures. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Companys stockholders, and incurring additional indebtedness could involve an increased debt service cash obligation, the imposition of covenants that restrict the Company operations or the Companys ability to perform on its current debt service requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $13,138,238 as of June 30, 2015. However, of the accumulated deficit, $2,110,748 of expense was incurred as stock-based compensation, $592,729 in depreciation expense, and $279,241 in impairment loss on investment in portfolio assets, all of which are noncash expenses. Further, $906,278 of the accumulated deficit is related to the issuance of stock dividends, also non cash reductions. The $3,888,996 total of these non-cash retained earnings reductions represents 30% of the total deficit balance. |

Notes Payable [Abstract] | |
Note Payable | NOTE 9. NOTE PAYABLE In October 2013, the Company entered into a senior unsecured convertible promissory note agreement of $1,500,000. The terms of the note include an interest rate of 15% with a maturity date of October 10, 2016. The Company, although not required, is entitled to capitalize any accrued interest into the outstanding principal balance of the note up until maturity. At the maturity date, all unpaid principal and accrued interest is due. As part of the promissory note, the Company was required to pay origination fees and expenses associated with this note agreement (discussed in Other Assets Note 2), pay the subordinated debt originated in January 2010, pay $375,000 to a related party note held by a director, with the remaining use of proceeds for general corporate purposes including payment of deferred compensation to several management personnel. Additionally, the noteholder has the right, but not the obligation, to convert up to $1,000,000 of the principal balance of the note into common shares of the Company. The $1,000,000 maximum conversion ratio would entitle the noteholder to a maximum total of 10% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company, calculated on a fully diluted basis. Any conversion of the principal amount of this note into common stock would effectively lower the outstanding principal amount of the note. As of June 30, 2015, the note payable balance was $1,945,476, which includes capitalized interest of $445,476. As of December 31, 2014, the note payable balance was $1,805,000, which includes capitalized interest of $305,000. |

Subordinated Debt | NOTE 10. SUBORDINATED DEBT During January 2010, the Company authorized a $750,000 subordinated debt offering (Subordinated Offering), which consisted of the issuance of notes paying a 16% coupon with a 1% origination fee at the time of closing. The maturity date of the notes was December 31, 2013. In October 2013, the Company entered into a senior unsecured convertible promissory note (discussed in Note 9) which required the use of those financing proceeds to pay down the subordinated debt. As such, as of December 31, 2013, the remaining balance was $0. As part of the Subordinated Offering, the Company granted to investors common stock purchase warrants (the Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The 200,000 shares of common stock contemplated to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants are based on an anticipated cumulative debt raise of $750,000. The investors are granted the Warrants pro rata based on their percentage of investment relative to the $750,000 aggregate principal amount of notes contemplated to be issued in the Subordinated Offering. A total of 112,000 warrants were issued. The Warrants shall have a term of seven years, exercisable from January 31, 2015 to January 31, 2017. During 2015, 6,667 of the 112,000 warrants were purchased for $67 and converted to common stock. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815 requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a companys own stock to be designated as an equity instrument, assets or liability. Under the provisions of ASC 815, a contract designated as an asset or liability must be initially recorded and carried at fair value until the contract meets the requirements for classification as equity, until the contract is exercised or until the contract expires. Accordingly, the Company determined that the warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities and has recorded the initial value as a debt discount which was amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2013, the balance of the debt discount was $0 (fully amortized). Subsequent changes to the marked-to-market value of the derivative liability are recorded in earnings as derivative gains and losses. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 105,333 and 112,000 warrants outstanding, respectively, with a derivative liability of $2,434. The Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model, which resulted in the fair value of the warrants at $0.02 per share using the following assumptions: June 30, 2015 Risk-free rate 0.69 % Expected volatility 719 % Expected remaining life (in years) 1.59 Dividend yield 0.00 % During August 2012, the Company entered into an additional $25,000 subordinated term note with a then current holder of the Companys subordinated debt. The note pays an 18% coupon rate with a maturity date of August 31, 2015. There are no warrants associated with this subordinated term note. Repayment terms of the note included interest only payments through February 28, 2013. Thereafter, level monthly payments of principal and interest are made as calculated on a 60 month payment amortization schedule with final balloon payment due at maturity. The rights of the holder of this note is subordinated to any and all liens granted by the Company to a commercial bank or other qualified financial institution in connection with lines of credit or other loans extended to the Company in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000, and liens granted by the Company in connection with the purchase of furniture, fixtures or equipment. As of June 30, 2015, the remaining balance of this note totals $13,333, all of which is included in current portion of subordinated debt. As of December 31, 2014, the remaining balance of this note totals $16,250, all of which is included in current portion of subordinated debt. During October 2014, the Company entered into an additional $100,000 subordinated term note with the current holder of the Companys subordinated debt. The note pays an 18% coupon rate with a maturity date of September 30, 2017. There are no warrants associated with this subordinated term note. Repayment terms of the note include interest only payments through March 31, 2015. Thereafter, level monthly payments of principal and interest are made as calculated on a 60 month payment amortization schedule with final balloon payment due at maturity. The rights of the holder of this note is subordinated to any and all liens granted by the Company to a commercial bank or other qualified financial institution in connection with lines of credit or other loans extended to the Company in an amount not to exceed $3,500,000, and liens granted by the Company in connection with the purchase of furniture, fixtures or equipment. As of June 30, 2015, the remaining balance of this note totals $95,000, of which $20,000 is included in current portion of subordinated debt.

Secured Asset Promissory Note | NOTE 11. SECURED ASSET PROMISSORY NOTE During December 2010, the Company authorized a debt offering to be secured by real estate assets purchased in connection with Equitas Housing Fund, LLC, (Equitas Offering). The Equitas Offering generated $1,200,000 in proceeds. Of the $1,200,000 in proceeds received in December 2010, $300,000 was used to acquire non-performing, residential mortgage notes and the balance was used for mortgage note workout expenses and operational expenses of Halo Asset Management. The Secured Asset Promissory Notes consisted of a 25% coupon. In May 2013, the Secured Asset Promissory Note was paid in full, along with $150,000 of the outstanding accrued interest balance. Halo and the secured asset promissory note holder agreed to include the remaining accrued interest in a promissory note due December 31, 2014.

Income Taxes | NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the effective tax rate of -2%, -1%, -23% and -4% varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, net losses, certain non-deductible expenses and an increase in the valuation allowance associated with the net operating loss carryforwards. Our deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards remain fully reserved due to uncertainty of utilization of those assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the effective U.S. federal and state income tax rate to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At June 30, 2015, the Company believed it was more likely than not that future tax benefits from net operating loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets would not be realizable through generation of future taxable income and are fully reserved. The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards of approximately $6,900,000 available for federal income tax purposes, which expire from 2024 to 2034. Separately, because of the changes in ownership that occurred on June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2009, prior to GVC merging with HCI, and based on the Section 382 Limitation calculation, the Company will be allowed approximately $6,500 per year of GVC Venture Corp.s federal NOLs generated prior to June 30, 2004 until they would otherwise expire. The Company would also be allowed approximately $159,000 per year of GVC Venture Corp.s federal NOLs generated between June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2009 until they would otherwise expire. |

Temme and Stewardship Fund, LLC, appointed by the Federal Court in the Eastern District of Texas. . As noted above, the Company, in conjunction with its Directors and Officers insurance carrier, is defending the matter vigorously. Based on the facts alleged and the proceedings to date, the Company believes that the Plaintiffs allegations will prove to be false, and that accordingly, it is not probable or reasonably possible that a negative outcome for the Company or the remaining Defendants will occur. As with any action of this type the timing and degree of any effect upon the Company are uncertain. If the outcome of the action is adverse to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial position, and results of operation. The Company and certain of its affiliates, officers and directors named as defendants in an insurance action filed on April 27, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The Plaintiffs allege that it had no duty to indemnify the Company, its affiliates, officers or directors because the claims set forth in the lawsuit mentioned herein above were not covered by the insurance policy issued by Plaintiff in favor of Defendants. The action sought declaratory judgment that the Plaintiff had no duty to indemnify the Defendants pursuant to the insurance policy that Defendants purchased from Plaintiff. The Company took the position that Plaintiffs claim had no merit, and defended the matter vigorously. Additionally, Defendants filed a counterclaim against the insurer alleging breach of contract, violation of the Texas Insurance Code and violation of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. On March 12, 2013, Plaintiff and Defendants entered into an agreement whereby Plaintiffs and Defendants claims, are to be dismissed without prejudice while the underlying liability suit in the 191 st As noted above, the Company has defended this matter vigorously. Based on the status of the litigation, it is not probable or reasonably possible that a negative outcome for the Company or the remaining Defendants will occur. As with any action of this type the timing and degree of any effect upon the Company are uncertain. If the outcome of the action is adverse to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position. The Company and certain of its affiliates, officers and directors have been named as defendants in an action filed on July 19, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The Plaintiff alleges that it has no duty to defend or indemnify the Company, its affiliates, officers or directors because the claims set forth in the lawsuit mentioned herein above are not covered by the insurance policy written by Plaintiff in favor or Defendants. The action seeks declaratory judgment that the Plaintiff has no duty to defend or indemnify the Defendants pursuant to the insurance policy that Defendants purchased from Plaintiff. Initially, the Company took the position that Plaintiffs claims had no merit, and defended the matter vigorously. Additionally, Defendants filed a counterclaim against the insurer alleging breach of contract, violation of the Texas Insurance Code and violation of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment seeking a judgment that it owes no duty to defend or indemnify Defendants. After careful consideration, Defendants decided not to oppose the Motion for Summary Judgment and a response in opposition was not filed. The Motion for Summary Judgment was granted in part and the remaining matter remains pending before the court. Based on the current status of the litigation, the Company believes it is not probable or reasonably possible that a negative outcome for the Company or the remaining Defendants will occur. As with any action of this type the timing and degree of any effect upon the Company are uncertain. If the outcome of the action is adverse to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position. |

Stock Options | NOTE 15. STOCK OPTIONS The Company granted stock options to certain employees under the HGI 2007 Stock Plan, as amended (the Plan). The Company was authorized to issue 2,950,000 shares subject to options, or stock purchase rights under the Plan. These options (i) vest over a period no greater than two years, (ii) are contingently exercisable upon the occurrence of a specified event as defined by the option agreements, and (iii) expire three months following termination of employment or five years from the date of grant depending on whether or not the options were granted as incentive options or non-qualified options. At September 30, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the merger, all options granted prior to the merger were assumed by the Company and any options available for issuance under the Plan but unissued, have been forfeited and consequently the Company has no additional shares subject to options or stock purchase rights available for issuance under the Plan. As of June 30, 2015, 438,300 option shares have been exercised. Total stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2015 total 170,000. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding options at June 30, 2015 is approximately 2.25 years. A summary of stock option activity in the Plan is as follows: Weighted Exercise Average Number of Price Exercise Options Per Option Price Outstanding at December 31, 2013 681,700 $ 0.01 1.59 $ 1.00 Granted Exercised Canceled (511,700 ) 0.94 1.59 1.06 Outstanding at December 31, 2014 170,000 $ 0.01 $ 0.01 Granted Exercised Canceled Outstanding at June 30, 2015 170,000 $ 0.01 $ 0.01 All stock options granted under the Plan and as of June 30, 2015 became exercisable upon the occurrence of the merger that occurred on September 30, 2009. As such, equity-based compensation for the options was recognized in earnings from issuance date of the options over the vesting period of the options effective December 31, 2009. On July 19, 2010, the board of directors approved the Companys 2010 Incentive Stock Plan (2010 Stock Plan). The 2010 Stock Plan allows for the reservation of 7,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock for issuance under the plan. The 2010 Stock Plan became effective July 19, 2010 and terminates July 18, 2020. As of June 30, 2015, 20,000 shares had previously been granted (all granted in the year ended December 31, 2012) under the 2010 Stock Plan with an exercise price of $0.34 per option. These are the only shares that have been issued under the 2010 Stock Plan. The shares granted vested immediately and can become exercisable for so long as the Company remains a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of June 30, 2015, none of the shares issued under the 2010 Stock Plan have been exercised. |

Shareholders' (Deficit) Equity | NOTE 16. SHAREHOLDERS (DEFICIT) EQUITY Common Stock On December 13, 2010 (the Closing), the Company was party to an Assignment and Contribution Agreement (the Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of Agreement, the members of Equitas Asset Management, LLC, (EAM), a non Halo entity, which owned 100% of the interests of Equitas Housing Fund, LLC (EHF), assigned and contributed 100% of the interests of EAM to HAM (a Halo subsidiary) in exchange for shares of 21,200,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company. The Agreement did not constitute a business combination. The Company issued 7,500,000 shares of Halo common stock in exchange for $3,000,000 in debt or equity capital. The aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Halo common stock was subject to clawback (and cancellation) by Halo in the event that EAM does not generate at least three million dollars ($3,000,000) in new capital to Halo within twelve months following the closing. Halo had the right to claw back 2.5 shares of Halo common stock for every dollar not raised within the twelve months. Any cash generated by EAM would have needed to be designated for use in Halos general operations and not that of the EHF business to release the clawback rights. The Company issued 13,700,000 shares of Halo common stock for the purchase of intangible assets owned by EAM which included trade secrets and business processes used in the EHF business. The aggregate 13,700,000 shares of Halo common stock was subject to clawback (and cancellation) by Halo in the event that EAM fails to generate at least $10,000,000 of net operating cash flows from the EHF business within twenty-four months following the closing. Halo had the right to claw back 1.37 shares of Halo common for every dollar not generated from the net operating cash flows of the EHF business. Once the $10,000,000 in net operating cash flows from the EHF business was generated, the clawback rights would be released. In applying the guidance of ASC 505 Equity to the above transactions, the clawback provisions create a performance commitment that has not been met. As such, although the transaction did provide for a grant date at which time the equity shares are issued and outstanding, the equity shares have not met the measurement date requirements required by ASC 505. Accordingly, the par value of the shares issued and outstanding have been recorded at the grant date and as the clawback rights are released and the measurement dates established, the fair value of the transactions would have been determined and recorded. As mentioned above, the Agreement provides for clawback provisions, pursuant to which all of the shares of Halo Common Stock issued to the member of EAM are subject to forfeiture in the event certain financial metrics are not timely achieved. The financial metrics call for significant cash generation by EHF within the first 12 months, and within the first 24 months following the closing date. We refer you to Section 2(b)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, for the specifics of the clawback provisions. As of December 31, 2012, no cash was generated by EHF. The times to meet both the 12 month and 24 month financial metrics have lapsed and the metrics have not been met. Based upon the events that have transpired, and the lack of progress toward the financial metrics, the Company demanded that the recipients of the shares of Halo Common Stock give effect to both clawback provisions and immediately forfeit back all of the Halo shares issued to such recipients an aggregate of 21,200,000 shares. Additionally, the Company has instructed the Companys transfer agent to cancel all of the shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Agreement. As of December 31, 2014, the Companys transfer agent refused to cancel the shares without either (i) presentation of the physical certificates to the transfer agent, or (ii) a court order requiring the transfer agent to cancel. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had been unsuccessful in its attempts to procure the physical certificates for presentment to the transfer agent, and the Company had yet to secure a court order requiring the transfer agent to cancel the certificates. During March 2015, the Company entered into a $250,000 compromise and settlement agreement with the court appointed receivership holding 17,808,000 shares of the Companys 21,200,000 common stock noted above. The physical stock certificate has been sent to the Companys transfer agent to immediately cancel those respective outstanding shares of that Agreement. An additional 1,272,000 shares of the companys common stock, all subject to the clawback provisions of the Agreement, have also been sent to the Companys transfer agent to immediately cancel those respective common shares of that Agreement but as of the time of this filing those shares have not yet been canceled. The Company expects that to happen shortly. Secondarily, subject to the clawback provisions of the Agreement, the Company is actively pursuing the procurement of an additional physical certificate of 2,120,000 shares from a respective individual still in possession of the common stock certificate. As of the time of the filing of these financials, 3,392,000 of the 21,200,000 shares issued as part of the Agreement remain outstanding. The Companys total common shares outstanding totaled 48,562,750 at June 30, 2015. Preferred Stock In connection with the 2009 merger, the Company authorized 1,000,000 shares of Series Z Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share (the Series Z Convertible Preferred). The number of shares of Series Z Preferred Stock may be decreased by resolution of the Board; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of Series Z Preferred Shares to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding. In the event any Series Z Preferred Shares shall be converted, (i) the Series Z Preferred Shares so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued and (ii) the authorized number of Series Z Preferred Shares set forth in this section shall be automatically reduced by the number of Series Z Preferred Shares so converted and the number of shares of the Corporations undesignated Preferred Stock shall be deemed increased by such number. The Series Z Convertible Preferred is convertible into common shares at the rate of 45 shares of common per one share of Series Z Convertible Preferred. The Series Z Convertible Preferred has liquidation and other rights in preference to all other equity instruments. Simultaneously upon conversion of the remaining Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, and Series C Preferred and exercise of any outstanding stock options issued under the HGI 2007 Stock Plan into Series Z Convertible Preferred, they will automatically, without any action on the part of the holders, be converted into common shares of the Company. Since the merger, in connection with the exercise of stock options into common stock and converted Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred as noted above, 82,508 shares of Series Z Convertible Preferred were automatically authorized and converted into shares of the Companys common stock leaving 917,492 shares of authorized undesignated Preferred Stock in the Company in accordance with the Series Z Convertible Preferred certificate of designation. As of June 30, 2015, there were 82,508 shares of Series Z Preferred authorized with zero shares issued and outstanding. The Company authorized 175,000 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share (the Series X Preferred). The number of shares of Series X Preferred may be decreased by resolution of the Board; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of Series X Preferred to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding. In the event any Series X Preferred Shares shall be redeemed, (i) the Series X Preferred so redeemed shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued and (ii) the authorized number of Series X Preferred Shares set forth in this section shall be automatically reduced by the number of Series X Preferred Shares so redeemed and the number of shares of the Corporation's undesignated Preferred Stock shall be deemed increased by such number. The Series X Preferred Shares rank senior to the Companys common stock to the extent of $10.00 per Series X Preferred Shares and on a parity with the Companys common stock as to amounts in excess thereof. The holders of Series X Preferred shall not have voting rights. Holders of the Series X Preferred shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, dividends at an annual rate of 9% payable in cash when declared by the board. Holders of Series X Preferred have a liquidation preference per share equal to $10.00. The liquidation preference was $536,770 as of June 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, there were 143,677 shares authorized with 143,677 shares issued and outstanding. During March 2015, as part of the $250,000 compromise and settlement agreement with the court appointed receivership discussed above, the settlement agreement calls for a relinquishment and abandonment of any and all claims against Halo on 90,000 shares of the Companys Series X Preferred stock belonging to the receivership. As such, as of June 30, 2015, there were 53,677 shares authorized, issued and outstanding. The 53,677 shares were related to the 2010 conversion from notes payable due to related parties. In April 2012, the Company authorized 100,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series E Preferred) with a par value of $0.001 per share, at ten dollars ($10.00) per share with a conversion rate of fifty (50) shares of the Companys common stock for one share of Series E Preferred. The number of shares of Series E Preferred may be decreased by resolution of the Board; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of Series E Preferred to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding. In the event any Series E Preferred Shares shall be converted, (i) the Series E Preferred so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued and (ii) the authorized number of Series E Preferred Shares set forth shall be automatically reduced by the number of Series E Preferred Shares so converted and the number of shares of the Corporation's undesignated Preferred Stock shall be deemed increased by such number. The Series E Preferred Shares rank senior to the Companys common stock to the extent of $10.00 per Series E Preferred Shares and on a parity with the Companys common stock as to amounts in excess thereof. The holders of Series E Preferred shall not have voting rights. Holders of the Series E Preferred shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, dividends at an annual rate of 9% payable in cash or common stock when declared by the board. Holders of Series E Preferred have a liquidation preference per share equal to $10.00. The liquidation preference was $700,000 as of June 30, 2015. Each share of Series E Preferred, if not previously converted by the holder, will automatically be converted into common stock at the then applicable conversion rate after thirty-six months from the date of purchase. As of June 30, 2015, there were 70,000 shares issued and outstanding with total cash consideration of $700,000, convertible into 3,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The HGI Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred) has a par value of $0.001 per share and has a liquidation preference of the greater of (a) the consideration paid to the Company for such shares plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, if any or (b) the per share amount the holders of the Series A Preferred would be entitled to upon conversion, as defined in the Series A Preferred certificate of designation. The liquidation preference was $740,350, of which $180,851 is an accrued (but undeclared) dividend as of June 30, 2015. Holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to receive, if declared by the board of directors, dividends at a rate of 8% payable in cash or common stock of the Company. The Series A Preferred is convertible into the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. The Series A Preferred is convertible, either at the option of the holder or the Company, into shares of the Companys Series Z Convertible Preferred Stock, and immediately, without any action on the part of the holder, converted into common stock of the Company. The Series A Preferred is redeemable at the option of the Company at $1.80 per share prior to conversion. As of June 30, 2015, there have been 127,001 shares of Series A Preferred converted or redeemed. The Series A Preferred does not have voting rights.

Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue | Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes revenue in the period in which services are earned and realizable. To further understand the Companys business, HAM earns fees from its clients for its boarding and initial asset management fee, success fees, and its monthly servicing fee. The boarding and initial asset management services are performed in the first 30-60 days of assets being boarded and include; IRR analysis of loans boarded, detailed asset level workout exit strategy analysis, boarding the assets onto HAMs proprietary software platform and the integrated servicing platform, identification and oversight of custodial files, oversight of mortgage/deed assignment from previous servicer, oversight of title policy administration work, and delinquent property tax research and exposure review. HAMs monthly success fees are earned for completing its default and asset disposition services including note sales, originating owner finance agreements, and cash sales of REO properties owned by the client. HAMs servicing fees are earned monthly and are calculated on a monthly unit price for assets under management. The Company is currently exploring potential opportunities with several client relationships that would allow the Company to implement its internally used asset management software platform as an external service for those customers. This is commonly known as Software as a Service (SaaS). The Company entered into a SaaS contract with one client who prepaid for a 12 month service plan during early 2015. Cash receipts from customers in advance of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue and will be earned over the entire SaaS contract period. The Company is still in its research phase of determining if this service line will remain ancillary or become a primary business component of the Company. HAM and HPA receivables are typically paid the month following services performed. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Companys accounts receivable are made up of the following percentages; HAM at 47% and 91% and HPA at 53% and 9%, respectively. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: past transaction history with the customer, current economic and industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a charge to earnings based on actual historical trends and individual account analysis. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written-off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The below table summarizes the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: Balance at Beginning of Period Increase in the Provision Accounts Receivable Write-offs Balance at End of Period Six Months ended June 30, 2015 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 375,665 $ 1 $ 375,666 $ 0 Year ended December 31, 2014 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 375,665 $ 135 $ 135 $ 375,665 As of December 31, 2014, the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts is made up of the following percentages; HAM at 96% and HPA at 4%, respectively. The HAM and HPA allowance was related to one client in a court appointed receivership. As discussed in Note 1 above, the March 2015 settlement agreement entered into by the Company and the receivership did not pay the fully reserved accounts receivable. As such, the accounts receivable balance was written off and the allowance for doubtful accounts was fully reduced to zero. |
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share | Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing (i) net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator), by (ii) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period (denominator). Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were 4,623,959 and 4,596,126 shares, respectively, underlying potentially dilutive convertible preferred stock and stock options outstanding. These shares were not included in dilutive weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 because their effect is anti-dilutive due to the Companys reported net loss. |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the Companys revenue recognition method and derivative liabilities. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include the financial results of HCI, HGI, HBI, HPA and HAM. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. |
Other Assets | Other Assets At June 30, 2015, other assets were $16,667 ($40,000 in total origination fees paid offset by $23,333 in accumulated amortization of those fees) for the senior unsecured promissory note discussed in Note 9. The fees are to be amortized over the life of the promissory note. At December 31, 2014, other assets were $23,333 ($40,000 in total origination fees offset by $16,667 in accumulated amortization) for the senior unsecured promissory note. |
Property, Equipment and Software | Property, Equipment and Software Property, equipment, and software are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, ranging from three to seven years. Provisions for depreciation are made using the straight-line method. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the cost of the property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to other general and administrative expenses. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these items. The estimated fair value of the notes payable and subordinated debt approximates the carrying amounts as they bear market interest rates. The Company considers the warrants related to its subordinated debt to be derivatives, and the Company records the fair value of the derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities are included in gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative in the consolidated statements of operations. The Companys derivative liability has been classified as a Level III valuation according to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820. |
Internally Developed Software | Internally Developed Software Internally developed legacy application software consisting of database, customer relations management, process management and internal reporting modules are used in each of the Companys subsidiaries. The Company accounts for computer software used in the business in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. ASC 350 requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Capitalization begins when (i) the preliminary project stage is complete, (ii) management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and (iii) it is probable both that the project will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended. Management has determined that a significant portion of costs incurred for internally developed software came from the preliminary project and post-implementation stages; as such, no costs for internally developed software were capitalized. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is the estimated value at which the asset could be bought or sold in a transaction between willing parties. There were no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. The Company then assesses the likelihood of realizing benefits related to such assets by considering factors such as historical taxable income and the Companys ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the relevant jurisdictions in future years. Based on the aforementioned factors, if the realization of these assets is not likely a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets. The Company accounts for its position in tax uncertainties under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 establishes standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740-10 provides several clarifications related to uncertain tax positions. Most notably, a more likely-than-not standard for initial recognition of tax positions, a presumption of audit detection and a measurement of recognized tax benefits based on the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of realization. ASC 740-10 applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. First, the Company must determine whether any amount of the tax benefit may be recognized. Second, the Company determines how much of the tax benefit should be recognized (this would only apply to tax positions that qualify for recognition.) The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014. The Company incurred no penalties or interest for taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014. The Company is subject to a three year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. |
Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018. |
