NOTE 3.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Nevertheless, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2015 Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the results of our operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2016, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quad Video Halo, Inc. and Gleric Holdings, LLC. All material intercompany balances of transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Accounting Method

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in accordance with SEC staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, which specifies that only when persuasive evidence for an arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured can revenue be recognized.

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is obtained prior to services being rendered when the patient completes and signs the medical and financial paperwork.  Delivery of services is considered to have occurred when medical diagnostic services are provided to the patient.  The price and terms for the services are considered fixed and determinable at the time that the medical services are provided and are based upon the type and extent of the services rendered.  Our credit policy has been established based upon extensive experience by management in the industry and has been determined to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured.  Payment for services are primarily made to us by a third party and the credit policy includes terms of net 240 days for collections.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable as reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, approximates fair value.  Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.  We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banks which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on these deposits.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets acquired are initially recognized at cost. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangibles with a finite life are amortized, ratably, based on the contractual terms of the associated agreements.

Goodwill recognized in a business combination is subjective and represents the value of the excess amount given to the acquired company above the estimated fair market value of the identifiable net assets on the acquisition date. Each year, during the fourth quarter, the goodwill amount is reviewed to determine if any impairment has occurred. Impairment occurs when the original amount of goodwill exceeds the value of the expected future net cash flows from the business acquired.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no impairment to the asset was determined to have occurred.

Long-Lived Assets

We periodically review and evaluate long-lived assets such as intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. In performing our review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of such assets and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, an impairment loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of such assets over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no impairment of the long-lived assets was determined to have occurred.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Assets that expose us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Our accounts receivable are from a diversified customer base and, therefore, we believe the concentration of credit risk is minimal. We evaluate the creditworthiness of customers before any services are provided.  We record a discount based on the nature of our business, collection trends, and an assessment of our ability to fully realize amounts billed for services.  Additionally, we have established an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $614,490 and $503,477, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values.  Under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), companies are required to estimate the fair value or calculated value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.  The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.  We use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards.  We recognized compensation and consulting expense for issuances of our common stock in exchange for services of $69,500 and $98,733 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $30,000 and $47,900 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 740-10-25 defines the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements as “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood of occurrence greater than fifty percent). Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, the recognition threshold is met when an entity concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard, or are resolved through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold of being sustained.

We are subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may incur additional tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. In addition, when applicable, we will adjust tax expense to reflect our ongoing assessments of such matters which requires judgment and can materially increase or decrease our effective rate as well as impact operating results.

Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within one year is classified as a current liability. As a result, liabilities expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g. resolution due to the expiration of the statute of limitations) or are not expected to be paid within one year are not classified as current. We record estimated interest and penalties as income tax expense and tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized no estimated interest or penalties as income tax expense.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations for years before 2012.

Legal Costs and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we incur costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise us on regulatory, litigation and other matters. We expense these costs as the related services are received.

If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we recognize an expense for the estimated loss. If we have the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, we make a separate assessment of recoverability and reduce the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized no estimated legal or contingent losses.

Net Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods presented. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debt have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, because all such securities were anti-dilutive.  The net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  This ASU is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions.  The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 include a five-step process by which entities will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The standard also will require enhanced disclosures, provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications, and enhance guidance for multiple-element arrangements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-14 which delayed the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year (effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on our revenue recognition and have not yet determined the method with which we will adopt the standard in 2018. 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This new accounting guidance under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, provides explicit guidance on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a non-vesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. The guidance will become effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting entity will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an entity’s management with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by entities today in the financial statement footnotes. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplified Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items, requires that an entity separately classify, present and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments of ASU No. 2015-01 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures. ASU No. 2015-02 focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and improves current GAAP by: (1) Placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. A reporting organization may no longer have to consolidate a legal entity in certain circumstances based solely on its fee arrangement, when certain criteria are met; (2) Reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; and (3) Changing consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or variable interest entities. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-02 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability , which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under ASU No. 2016-02, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early application permitted. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounted for leases expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management is currently evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.
