Basis of presentation The condensed interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and notes thereto included in the Company’s 10-K filed on April 16, 2012. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 periods. Generally, matters subject to estimation and judgment include amounts related to asset impairments, useful lives of fixed assets and capitalization of costs for software developed for internal use. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing bank accounts and money market funds. The Company’s cash positions represent cash on deposit in checking accounts. These assets are generally available on a daily basis and are highly liquid in nature. Revenue Recognition For recognizing revenue, the Company applies the provisions of the Revenue Recognition Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Revenues are generated from telephony services including activation fees, hardware fees and monthly usage fees. In most cases, the services performed do not require significant production, modification or customization of the Company’s software or services; therefore, revenues for the hardware fees and monthly usage fees are recognized when evidence of a completed transaction exists, when services have been rendered. The Company recognized revenue from sales of $133,643 and $235,049 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The activation fees generated from new accounts are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized over the estimated average customer relationship period. The net unamortized activation fees were $61,354 and $68,134 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The costs associated with these activation fees are recorded as deferred costs and are similarly amortized over the estimated average customer relationship period. The net unamortized costs are $15,338 and $17,033 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. For both the activation fees and costs associated therewith, the estimated average customer relationship period was 24 months for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Software Development Costs The Company has adopted the provisions of the Software Topic of the FASB ASC 350 to account for its internally and externally developed software costs since the Company is dependent on the internal use automated speech recognition software to provide the enhanced services. The capitalization of software development costs begins when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available for use. Software development costs include direct costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility for significant product enhancements. Amortization is computed on an individual project basis using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the projected product, generally three to five years. As of March 31, 2012, software development costs not yet amortized are $573,092. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, amortization was $27,380 and $24,302, respectively. Impairment FASB ASC 360-10-35-21 requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We regularly evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying value of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If factors indicate the asset may not be recoverable, we compare the related undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying value of the asset to determine if impairment exists. If the expected future net cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. An evaluation of our intangible assets was conducted utilizing the two step impairment analysis. No impairments were indicated or recorded during three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Stock-based Payments The Company records the stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees and other external entities for goods and services at either the fair market value of the goods received or services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in FASB ASC 505-50-30 Recent Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
