Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Organization, Ownership and Business

Data Call Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 2002. The Company’s mission is to integrate cutting-edge information delivery solutions that are currently deployed by the media and put them within the control of retail and commercial enterprises. The Company’s software and services put its clients in control of real-time advertising, news, and other content, including emergency alerts, within one building or 10,000, local or thousands of miles away.

The Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and result of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023, or 2022

Revenue Recognition

On January 1 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), Revenue Recognition. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

● identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

● identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

● determination of the transaction price;

● allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

● recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Company recognizes revenues based on monthly fees for services provided to customers. Some customers prepay for annual services and the Company defers such amounts and amortizes them into revenues as the service is provide.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful trade receivables was $0 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 as we believe all of our receivables are fully collectable.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized as a component of other income or expense. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3-7 years) using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Advertising Costs

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Product Development Costs

Product development costs consist of cost incurred to develop the Company’s website and software for internal and external use. All product development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. 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 vary from those estimates.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

Convertible debt includes conversion terms that are considered in the money compared to the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement. The Company calculates the beneficial conversion feature and records a debt discount with the amount being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, potential securities include “Convertible preferred A shares”. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock results in a greater dilutive effect from outstanding options, restricted stock awards and common stock warrants. In years with a net loss, potentially dilutive securities are not included because their effect is anti-dilutive.

	Years Ended December 31,
	2023			2022
Net Income (loss)	$	(17,553	)	$	4,782
Net (loss) per common share:
Basic	$	0.00		$	0.00
Diluted	$	0.00		$	0.00
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
Basic		157,498,515			157,498,515
Diluted		453,247,129			453,247,129

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with “FASB ASC 718-10.” Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line amortization method over the vesting period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumption and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The interest rates payable by the Company on its notes payable approximate market rates. The Company believes that the fair value of its financial instruments comprising accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted an accounting standard for applying fair value measurements to certain assets, liabilities and transactions that are periodically measured at fair value. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are routinely recognized or disclosed at fair value. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities, and those restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The fair value accounting standard creates a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 800,000 are outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall bear a preferential dividend of twelve percent (12%) per year and is convertible into a number shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) based upon Fifty (50%) percent of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock During the ten (10) day period prior to the conversion. The Company has not declared or accrued any dividends as of December 31, 2023, or 2022. Unaccrued and undeclared dividends were $4,800 as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023, and 2022:

	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
2023	$	0	$	0	$	0
2022	$	0	$	0	$	0

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.
