SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Accounts Receivable Credit is granted to substantially all customers throughout the United States. The Company carries its accounts receivable at invoice amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. The Companys policy is to not accrue interest on past due receivables. Management determined that an allowance of $70,000 for doubtful accounts was reasonably stated at December 31, 2015 and 2014. Concentration of Credit Risk Loan Origination Fees Sale of Certain Accounts Receivable The Company has available a financing line with a financial institution (the Purchaser). In connection with this line of credit the Company adopted FASB ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing These transactions qualify for a sale of assets since (1) the Company has transferred all of its right, title and interest in the selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution, (2) the Purchaser may pledge, sell or transfer the selected accounts receivable invoices, and (3) the Company has no effective control over the selected accounts receivable invoices since it is not entitled to or obligated to repurchase or redeem the invoices before their maturity and it does not have the ability to unilaterally cause the Purchaser to return the invoices. Under FASB ASC 860, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 860, the Company reflects the transactions as a sale of assets and establishes an accounts receivable from the Purchaser for the retained amount less the costs of the transaction and less any anticipated future loss in the value of the retained asset. In April 2014, the Company completed a revised financing agreement with the Purchaser. The retained amount was revised to 15% of the total accounts receivable invoice sold to the Purchaser. Previously the retained amount was 20%. The fee for the initial purchase is .466% of the invoice. The fee is charged at prime plus 4% (effective rate of 7.5% at December 31, 2015) against the average daily outstanding balance of funds advanced. Previously, the fee for the first 30 days was 1% and additional fees were charged against the average daily balance of net outstanding funds at the prime rate, which was 3.25% per annum at that time. The estimated future loss reserve for each receivable included in the estimated value of the retained asset is based on the payment history of the accounts receivable customer and is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts, if any. As collateral, the Company granted the Purchaser a first priority interest in accounts receivable and a blanket lien, which may be junior to other creditors, on all other assets. The financing line provides the Company the ability to finance up to $2,000,000 of selected accounts receivable invoices, which includes a sublimit for one of the Companys customers of $1,500,000. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company sold approximately $7,065,000 ($8,299,000 - 2014) of its accounts receivable to the Purchaser. As of December 31, 2015, $566,561 ($874,458 - 2014) of these receivables remained outstanding. Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $20,000 available under the financing line with the financial institution ($140,000 2014). After deducting estimated fees and advances from the Purchaser, the net receivable from the Purchaser amounted to $82,341 at December 31, 2015 ($149,573 - 2014), and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets as of that date. There were no gains or losses on the sale of the accounts receivable because all were collected. The cost associated with the financing line totaled approximately $79,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 ($144,000 - 2014). These financing line fees are classified on the statements of operations as interest expense. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives for financial statement purposes. The cost of improvements to leased properties is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized. Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets - The Company follows provisions of FASB ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment in accounting for the impairment of disposal of long-lived assets. This standard specifies, among other things, that long-lived assets are to be reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets during 2015 and 2014. Revenue Recognition - The Companys revenues are generated under both time and material and fixed price agreements. Consulting revenue is recognized when the associated costs are incurred, which coincides with the consulting services being provided. Time and materials service agreements are based on hours worked and are billed at agreed upon hourly rates for the respective position plus other billable direct costs. Fixed price service agreements are based on a fixed amount of periodic billings for recurring services of a similar nature performed according to the contractual arrangements with clients. Under both types of agreements, the delivery of services occurs when an employee works on a specific project or assignment as stated in the contract or purchase order. Based on historical experience, the Company believes that collection is reasonably assured. During 2015, sales to one client, including sales under subcontracts for services to several entities, accounted for 60.1% of total sales (60.2% - 2014) and 29.1% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 (27.8% - 2014). Sales to another client, which consisted of sales under subcontracts, accounted for 25.7% of sales in 2015 (30.7% - 2014) and 36.2% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 (49.6% - 2014). Equity Instruments - For equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services the Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendors performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock Options - Income Taxes - Income Taxes The Company reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an uncertain tax position. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in various states. The tax years 2012 through 2015 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, which is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its term debt and notes payable, the fair value approximates its carrying amount. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as well as dilutive potential common shares which, in the Companys case, comprise shares issuable under convertible notes payable and stock options. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares, which reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of the options and warrants assumed to be exercised. In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of December 31, 2015 and 2014: Year ended December 31, 2015 2014 Numerator for basic net loss per share: Net loss $ (811,082 ) $ (498,000 ) Denominator for basic net loss per share: Weighted average common shares outstanding 26,561,883 26,012,842 Basic net loss per share $ (.03 ) $ (.02 ) Numerator for diluted net loss per share: Net loss $ (811,082 ) $ (498,000 ) Denominator for diluted net loss per share: Weighted average common shares outstanding 26,561,883 26,012,842 Diluted net loss per share $ (.03 ) $ (.02 ) Anti-dilutive shares excluded from net loss share calculation 28,286,546 30,566,892 Certain common shares issuable under stock options and convertible notes payable have been omitted from the diluted net loss per share calculation because their inclusion is considered anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Equity Investments Use of Estimates - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company has adopted the standard as of December 31, 2015. See Note 2. In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a note be presented as a direct deduction from that note. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe this guidance will have a material effect on our financial statements when adopted. In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax asset and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. When the guidance is effective all deferred tax assets and liabilities will be presented as noncurrent. We do not believe this guidance will have a material effect on our financial statements when adopted. In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for lease arrangements in order to increase transparency and comparability by providing additional information to users of financial statements regarding an entity's leasing activities. The revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements. The guidance, which is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2019, will be applied on a modified retrospective basis beginning with the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our financial statements. |
