Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. B. C. The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 72% and 10% of total revenue in 2019. These two customers represented 76% of the accounts receivable trade balance at December 31, 2019. The Company expects to collect all outstanding accounts receivables as of December 31, 2019 from these customers. The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 36% and 17% of total revenue in 2018. These two customers represented 27% of the accounts receivable trade balance at December 31, 2018. The Company subsequently collected all outstanding accounts receivables as of December 31, 2018 from these customers. D. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts, which was $15,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. This estimate is based upon management’s review of delinquent accounts and an assessment of the Company’s historical evidence of collections. Specific accounts are charged directly to the reserve or bad debt expense when management obtains evidence of a customer’s insolvency or otherwise determines that the account is uncollectible. There was no bad debt expense during 2019 and 2018. E. F. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference. There was no property and equipment considered impaired during 2019 or 2018. G. Our patent titled “Process for the removal of contaminants from sputtering target substrates” (US patent No. 10,138,545 B2) was issued on November 27, 2018. This provides a process for the removal of contaminants on a spent sputtering target used in Plasma Vapor Deposition. A patent titled “Display having a transparent conductive oxide layer comprising metal doped zinc oxide applied by sputtering” (US patent No. 9,927,667) was issued on March 27, 2018. The Company holds the rights to this patent and any subsequent patents for this technology related to the application of Zinc based Transparent Conductive Oxide in Displays. Costs incurred to secure patents have been capitalized and amortized over the life of the patents. Cost and accumulated amortization of the patents at December 31, 2019 was $78,810 and $4,837, respectively and cost and accumulated amortization of the patents at December 31, 2018 was $64,481 and $1,977, respectively. Amortization expense related to patents was $2,860 and $1,977 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to be at least $2,860 for each of the next five years. H. The core principle of ASC 606 is supported by five steps which are listed below: 1. Identify the contract with the customer. 2. Identify the performance obligation in the contract. 3. Determine the transaction price. 4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. 5. Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company enters into contracts with its customers that generally represent purchase orders specifying general terms and conditions, order quantities and per unit product price. The Company has determined that each unit of product purchased represents a separate performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of a unit of product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. For the majority of product sales, transfer of control occurs when the products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facility to the customer. The cost of delivering products to the Company’s customers is recorded as a component of cost of products sold. Those costs may include the amounts paid to a third party to deliver the products. Any freight costs billed to and paid by a customer are included in revenue. The Company considers collectability of amounts due under a contract to be probable upon inception of a sale based on an evaluation of the credit worthiness of each customer. The Company sells its products typically under agreements with payment terms of 30 days. The Company does not typically include extended payment terms or significant financing components in contracts with customers. The majority of the Company’s contracts have an obligation to transfer products within one year. Thus, the Company elects to use the practical expedient where incremental cost of obtaining a contract, such as commissions, is expensed when incurred because the amortization period for those costs is one year or less. The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers as fulfillment activities, and therefore, does not account for shipping and handling costs as a separate performance obligation. Customer deposits are funds received in advance from customers and are recognized as revenue when the Company has transferred control of product to the customer. Product revenues are recognized upon shipment of goods as the customer has assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership and the Company is entitled to payment at this point. Service revenues are recognized upon completion as the customer cannot realize the benefit of the service until fully completed. During 2019 and 2018, revenue from the Photonics market was 97% and 80% of total revenue, respectively. The balance of the revenue in each period was almost entirely from the Thin Film Solar market. The top two customers represented 82% and 53% of total revenue during 2019 and 2018, respectively. International shipments resulted in 8% and 30% of total revenue for 2019 and 2018, respectively. I. J. K. L. M. Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016‑09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classification of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016‑09 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. There was minimal impact on the financial statements. Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in ASU 2018‑10 clarify, correct or remove inconsistencies in the guidance provided under ASU 2016‑02 related to sixteen specific issues identified. Also, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842. This amendment provides the Company with an additional and optional transition method to adopt the new lease standard. Under this new transition method, the Company can apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and present the accounting on a prospective or go-forward basis instead of applying to the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The new lease standard became effective for the Company January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess existing lease classifications on adoption. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s income statements. The most significant impact of the new standard was the recognition of a ROU asset and lease liability of over $500,000 as of January 1, 2019. |
