Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
Segment Information - The Company follows ASC Topic 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Topic 280 requires that a company report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company’s operations from a number of different operational perspectives including but not limited to a client by client basis. The Company derives all significant revenues from a single reportable operating segment of business. Accordingly, the Company does not report more than one segment; nevertheless, management evaluates, at least annually, whether the Company continues to have one single reportable segment.
 
Use of Estimates - 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 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 may differ from those estimates, and the differences may be material to the financial statements. Estimates are used primarily in determining the valuation of stock based compensation, valuation of convertible instruments and derivative liability, the reserves for sales allowances, accounts receivable and inventory. Various assumptions go into the determination of these estimates. The process of determining significant estimates requires consideration of factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments and deposits with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are maintained with nationally recognized financial institutions.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - An allowance for doubtful accounts is computed based on the Company’s historical experience and management’s analysis of possible bad debts. Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $311 as of January 31, 2016 and $288 as of July 31, 2015, respectively.
 
Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market on an average cost basis. Inventory allowances are recorded for damaged, obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory. Market value of inventory is estimated based on the impact of market trends, an evaluation of economic conditions and the value of current orders relating to the future sales of this type of inventory. As of January 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015, the value of the inventory allowance was $29,249 and $5,271 respectively, and the inventory was comprised of finished goods.
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: furniture and fixtures –seven years; machinery and equipment –five years; software – five years; leasehold improvements –the life of the current facility lease. Major additions and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are charged to operations in the period incurred.
 
Intangible Assets – Developed technology and trade names were acquired as part of the Veloxum transaction in May 2014. Acquisition related intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on expected future benefit.
 
A long-lived asset or asset group that is held and used should be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount for the long-lived asset or asset group might not be recoverable. As a result, a company is not required to perform an impairment analysis if indicators of impairment are not present. Instead, a company would assess the need for an impairment write-down only if an indicator of impairment (also referred to as a triggering event) is present.
 
The carrying amounts of the intangible assets as of January 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015 are as follows:

Total amortization expense for intangible assets was $200,579 and $401,159 for the three months and six months ended January 31, 2016, all of which was recorded in operating expenses. As of January 31, 2016, the amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets in future periods is expected to be $0.
 
In 2015, the Company finished developing and integrating its automated optimization software applications into the current offerings of its sales partner, PC Driver Headquarters under the Joint Development & License agreement (“JDLA”). On November 5, 2015, there was an arbitration award allowing PC Drivers access to our source code. Currently, there are disputes on revenue split between two parties under the JDLA. Since acquisition of the Intangible assets in May 2014, the technology and trade names acquired have not been able to generate revenue. We determined that the entire carrying value of the intangibles was impaired, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,243,747.
 
Developed technology and trade names are tested for impairment based on the guidelines in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
 
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the FASB ASC Topic 740. The Company 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 bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment
 
Topic 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The calculation of the Company's tax provision involves the application of complex tax rules and regulations within multiple jurisdictions. The Company's tax liabilities include estimates for all income-related taxes that the Company believes are probable and that can be reasonably estimated. To the extent that the Company’s estimates are understated, additional charges to the provision for income taxes would be recorded in the period in which the Company determines such understatement. If the Company's income tax estimates are overstated, income tax benefits will be recognized when realized. .
 
The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of January 31, 2016, no liabilities were required to be recorded related to tax positions taken
 
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Company has elected to include interest and penalties related to its tax contingences as a component of other expense. There were no accruals for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of January 31, 2016.
 
Revenue Recognition - The Company's product revenues are recognized upon shipment or delivery and acceptance of products by customers, when pervasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the title has transferred and collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured. For service and development projects, the company recognizes revenue upon the completion of the service and records costs incurred by the company for service and development under the project as cost of sales expenses.
 
Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel responsible for the research and development activities relating to new and existing products.
 
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the stock-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The fair value of an employee stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period), net of estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the prior estimates.
 
The Company records the expense attributed to non-employee services paid with stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The measurement of stock-based compensation for non-employees is subject to re-measurement as the options vest, and the expense is recognized over the period during which services are received.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements, as follows:
 
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
 
Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the instrument’s anticipated life.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The carrying values of certain financial assets and liabilities of the Company, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s notes payable approximate their fair values as the terms of the borrowing are consistent with current market rates that the Company could obtain for debt with similar terms and maturities.
 
The fair value measurement of the derivative liabilities for the conversion features associated with convertible debt are based on significant inputs that are unobservable and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. The Company’s estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities are calculated using a Binomial Lattice valuation model. The valuation model is dependent upon several variables such as the term of the convertible note, conversion price, current stock price, risk-free interest rate estimated over the contractual term, estimated volatility of our stock over the term of the note and the estimated market price of our stock during the conversion period. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the warrants. The volatility is estimated based on blending the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly-traded companies. The Level 3 estimates are based, in part, on subjective assumptions.
 
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments as follows:

Concentration - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. If the collection of the receivable becomes doubtful, the Company establishes a reserve in an amount determined appropriate for the perceived risk.
 
The Company maintains its cash accounts at commercial banks. From time to time, cash balances maintained in such banks may exceed the insured amount by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). As of January 31, 2016, management does not believe it was exposed to any significant risk on cash balances.
 
Four customers accounted for 100% of revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and one customer accounted for 71% of revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2015. Four customers accounted for 100% of revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2016 and two customers accounted for 85% of revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2015
 
There were no purchases for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and January 31, 2015. There were no purchases for the six months ended January 31, 2016 and one vendor accounted for 100% of purchases for the six months ended January 31, 2015
 
Convertible Instruments – The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three 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 host contract,(b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles 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 subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional (as that term is described in the implementation guidance to ASC 815).
 
The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options.
 
Derivative financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations at each period end while such instruments are outstanding.
 
The terms of the conversion features associated with the convertible debt do not explicitly limit the potential number of shares issuable upon conversion and accordingly could result in the Company’s obligation to deliver a potentially unlimited number of shares upon settlement. As such, share settlement is not considered to be within the control of the Company.
 
In accordance with ASC 815 paragraph 40-35, the Company adopted a sequencing policy that reclassifies contracts, with the exception of stock options, from equity to assets or liabilities for those with the latest inception date first. Future issuance of securities will be evaluated as to reclassification as a liability under our sequencing policy of latest inception date.
 
In accordance with the guidance under ASC 815-40-25, we have evaluated that we have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares as of January 31, 2016, to settle all existing commitments.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued a new financial accounting standard which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02 (ASU 2015-02) "Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new standard, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is allowed for all entities for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In July 2015, FASB issued a new accounting guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory which requires that inventory within the scope of the guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Prior to the issuance of the standard, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market (where market was defined as replacement cost, with a ceiling of net realizable value and floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin). The accounting guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The ASU is part of the Board’s simplification initiative aimed at reducing complexity in accounting standards. To simplify presentation, the new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-17 on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with a duration of one year of more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. This update is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its policies and procedures pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements, disclosure requirements and on its consolidated financial statements. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
