NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP permits management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

Accounts Receivable

Revenues that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized to reduce the amount of receivables to its net realizable value. The need for an allowance for uncollectible amounts is evaluated quarterly. We have not deemed it necessary to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-year financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 825-10-50-10, Financial Instruments—Overall—Disclosure, for disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments and ASC 820-10-35-37, Fair Value Measurement—Overall—Subsequent Measure—Fair Value Hierarchy, to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. ASC 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1:

 

Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2:

 

Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

 

 

Level 3:

 

Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Our notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to us for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2016.

 

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis:

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of three years.

 

Revenue Recognition

We follow ASC 605-10-S99-1, Revenue Recognition, for revenue recognition. We will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

During the fiscal year 2016, we generated several types of revenue, including:

 

(1)   Customized software development, in which we developed software for customers on a bespoke basis.

 

(2)   Software licensing, in which we licensed our existing portfolio of software products to customers on either a one-time fee or recurring monthly fee basis.

 

We allocated cost of goods sold for both forms of revenue on a pro-rata basis either through direct outsourcing of development resources or through direct costs associated with our employees or contractors. 

 

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Earnings per Share—Overall—Other Presentation Matters. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that we incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.

 

Our diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an antidilutive effect due to our generating a loss.

 

Stock-based Compensation

We account for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.

 

We account for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

 

Valuation of Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets

We test intangibles and long-lived assets for recoverability when changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, for example, when there are material adverse changes in projected revenues or expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results, and significant negative industry or economic trends. We evaluate recoverability of an asset by comparing its carrying value to the future net undiscounted cash flows that we expect will be generated by the asset. If the comparison indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value.

 

Income Taxes

We follow ASC 740-10-30, Income Taxes—Overall—Initial Measurement, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

We adopted ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes—Overall—Recognition, with regards to uncertainty income taxes. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, August 2015, April 2016, and May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ASU 2015-14—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, ASU 2016-10—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients to guide accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. These updates also require entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enable financial statements users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This standard may be applied to the process of assessing the impact, if any, on our financial statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. Topic 805 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the update require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on our cash flows.

 

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
