2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Form 10-K, except for the following:

 

Significant Estimates and Judgments

 

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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and subscription revenue refunds, estimates used to determine the fair value of our common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation, derivative instruments, debt discounts, conversion features and common stock warrants, collectability of our accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates. 

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and bifurcates conversion features from the instruments containing such features and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying instrument, (b) the hybrid instrument that contains both the embedded derivative instrument and the underlying instrument is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the underlying instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement in common stock or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies the following contracts as either an asset or a liability: contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) contain reset provisions. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company determined that certain freestanding derivatives, including the conversion feature embedded in the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) and warrants issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2015, by and between the Company and Sigma Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Sigma II”), contained various price and interest rate reset provisions and have been classified as derivative liabilities as more fully described in Note 5. 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. ASU 2015-03 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early-adopt ASU 2015-03 in connection with the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, and, as a result, recorded the $314,249 of offering costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Note as a debt discount on the date the Note was issued that will be amortized over the term of the Note.
