Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 include estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, the estimates for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, and the fair value of equity incentives. Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. Level 2-Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans and lines of credit, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company analyzes all financial and non-financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the FASBs accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company accounts for three instruments at fair value using level 3 valuation. At June 30, 2016 At December 31, 2015 Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan A - - $ 53,108 - - $ 53,108 Equity Credits Issued - - $ 14,154 - - $ 14,154 A rollforward of the level 3 valuation of these three financial instruments is as follows: Stock Appreciation Rights Plan A Equity Credits Issued Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 53,108 $ 14,154 Change in fair value included in net loss - - Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 53,108 $ 14,154 ASC 825-10 Financial Instruments, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments. Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. Accounts receivable The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. At June 30, 2016 inventory consisted of $890,229 in raw materials and $663,706 of finished goods before applying the inventory reserve of $198,273. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Impairment of long-lived assets In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the assets estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Revenue recognition Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605, the Company recognizes sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Types of Revenue: ● Net product sales by our subsidiary Nanofilm. ● Reimbursements under agreements to perform research and development for government agencies and others by our subsidiary, Applied Nanotech. We do not perform research contracts that are contingent upon successful results. Larger projects are sometimes broken down in phases to allow the customer to determine at the end of each phase if they wish to move to the next phase. The agreements with federal government agencies generally provide that, upon completion of a technology development program, the funding agency is granted a royalty-free license to use any technology developed during the course of the program for its own purposes, but not any preexisting technology that we use in connection with the program. We retain all other rights to use, develop, and commercialize the technology. Agreements with nongovernmental entities generally allow the entity the first opportunity to license the technology from us upon completion of the project. ● Product sales and other miscellaneous revenues from our subsidiary, Applied Nanotech such as the sale of conductive inks and thermal management materials. Revenue Recognition Criteria: ● Net product sales by our subsidiary Nanofilm, are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and title is transferred. ● Revenue from research and development government contracts is recognized when it is earned pursuant to the terms of the contract. These projects are usually billed monthly based on costs, hours, or some other measure of activity during the month and revenue is recognized as services are provided. If there are substantive acceptance terms then revenue will not be recognized until acceptance occurs. The recognition of revenue may not correspond with the billings allowable under the contract. To the extent that billings exceed revenue earned, a portion of the revenue is deferred until such time as it is earned. ● Revenue from research and development non-governmental contracts is recognized when it is earned pursuant to the terms of the contract. Each contract is unique and tailored to the needs of the customer and goals of the project. Some contracts may call for a monthly payment for a fixed period of time. Other contracts may be for a fixed dollar amount with an unspecified time period, although there is frequently a targeted completion date. These contracts generally involve some sort of up-front payment. Some contracts may call for the delivery of samples, or may call for the transfer of equipment or other items developed during the project to the customer. These projects are usually billed monthly based on costs, hours, or some other measure of activity during the month and revenue is recognized as services are provided. If there are substantive acceptance terms then revenue will not be recognized until acceptance occurs. ● Revenue from other product sales is recognized at the time the product shipped. The Companys subsidiary Applied Nanotechs primary business is research and development and the licensing of its technology, not the sale of products. Product sales are generally insignificant in number, and are generally limited to the sale of conductive inks, thermal management materials, samples, proofs of concepts, prototypes, or other items resulting from its research. ● Other miscellaneous revenue is recognized as deemed appropriate given the facts of the situation and is generally not material. Sales incentives and consideration paid to customers The Company accounts for certain promotional costs such as sales incentives and cooperative advertising as a reduction of sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded approximately $ Cost of sales Cost of sales includes inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor and related benefits, subcontractor costs, depreciation, overhead and shipping and handling costs incurred. Shipping and handling costs Shipping and handling costs incurred relating to the purchase of inventory are included in inventory which is charged to cost of sales as product are sold. Shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipped to customers are included in cost of sales and for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 they amounted to $ Research and development Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Companys products and under other Company sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred. Costs such as direct labor, direct costs, and other allocated costs incurred to perform research and development service pursuant to government and private research projects are in included in cost of sales. Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Companys products for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $78,850 and $250,353, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $164,613 and $445,555. These costs are included in operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs The Company participates in various advertising programs. All costs related to advertising of the Companys products are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $10,448 and $15,960, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $18,431 and $33,518. These costs are included in sales and marketing on the consolidated accompanying statements of operations. These advertising expenses do not in include cooperative advertising and sales incentives which have been deducted from sales. Federal and state income taxes The Company accounts for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 Income Taxes Stock-based compensation Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the measurement date. The expense is recognized over the service period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. Net loss per share of common stock ASC 260 Earnings Per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 37,778 contingently issuable common shares that are issuable based on certain market conditions (see Note 8) are not included in the potential dilutive shares in calculating the diluted EPS. Additionally, potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock options (using the treasury stock method). These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future . June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Total stock options 11,365 12,397 Additionally, there are an unknown quantity of common stock equivalents that result from a potential conversion of equity credits and stock appreciation rights (See Notes 8 and 9). Net loss per share for each class of common stock is as follows: Net (loss) income per common shares outstanding: Three Months ended June 30, 2016 Three Months ended June 30, 2015 Six Months ended June 30, 2016 Six Months ended June 30, 2015 Class A common stock $ (0.04 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.08 ) $ (0.26 ) Class B common stock $ (0.04 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.08 ) $ (0.26 ) Class Z common stock $ (0.04 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.08 ) $ (0.26 ) Weighted average shares outstanding: Class A common stock 1,342,565 1,317,321 1,340,804 1,314,029 Class B common stock 1,397,462 1,394,706 1,396,718 1,394,623 Class Z common stock 262,631 262,631 262,631 262,631 Total weighted average shares outstanding 3,002,658 2,974,658 3,000,152 2,971,283 Segment reporting The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Companys chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Companys reportable segments. The Companys chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company classified the reportable operating segments into (i) the development, manufacture and sale of personal lens cleaners and accessories and ultra-thin films of organic or polymeric crystals (the Product Segment) and (ii) the performance of nanotechnology research and development services for government and private entities and any related sales of related products. Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2014-09) Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes Income Taxes In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 to amend the accounting guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The standard requires that all investments in equity securities, including other ownership interests, are carried at fair value through net income. This requirement does not apply to investments that qualify for equity method accounting or to those that result in consolidation of the investee or for which the entity has elected the predictability exception to fair value measurement. Additionally, the standard requires that the portion of the total fair value change caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected would be recognized in other comprehensive income. Any accumulated amount remaining in other comprehensive income is reclassified to earnings when the liability is extinguished. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not anticipate the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or notes to its consolidated financial statements. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) to amend the accounting guidance for leases. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged under ASU 2016-02. However, the standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases on the balance sheet. Lessees will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it will recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements and notes to its consolidated financial statements. On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09) to amend the accounting guidance for share-based payment accounting. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
