SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SmartMetric Australia Pty. Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has not recognized revenues to date. The Company anticipates recognizing revenue in accordance with the contracts it enters into for the sale and distribution of its products.

Accounts Receivable

The Company will extend credit based on its evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company will monitor exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. The Company has not recorded any receivables, and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

GAAP requires the recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates Company tax positions on an annual basis and has determined that as of September 30, 2018 no accrual for uncertain income tax positions is necessary.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States (“U.S.”) federal jurisdiction. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to 2014. The Company does not file in any other jurisdiction and remains open for audit for all tax years as the statute of limitations does not begin until the returns are filed.

Advertising Costs

The Company will expense the cost associated with advertising as incurred.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 - 5 years.

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) includes consideration of dilution arising from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on the consolidated statement of operations due to the fact that the Company reported a net loss and to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures expense for issuances of stock-based compensation to employees and others at fair value of the stock and warrants issued, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.
