3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the condensing instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K as amended and filed on November 4, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., On the Move Experience, LLC and OMV Transports, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in the fair value calculation of the derivative liability, in determination of cash flows and fair value determinations in impairment testing.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality, U.S. financial institutions and, to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers, net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances. There were no allowances provided for the nine months ended November 30, 2019 and the year ended February 28, 2019.

 

Device Parts Inventory

 

Device parts inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average cost method. The Company records a valuation reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory, relying principally on specific identification of such inventory. The Company uses these device parts in the assembly of revenue earning devices (and demo devices) as well as research and development. Depending on use, the Company will transfer the parts to the corresponding asset or expense if used in research and development. A charge to income is taken when factors that would result in a need for an increase in the valuation, such as excess or obsolete inventory, are noted. At November 30, 2019 we had a valuation reserve of $160,000.

 

Revenue Earning Devices

 

Revenue earning devices are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 48 months. The Company continually evaluates revenue earning devices to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life or whether the devices should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses a combination of the undiscounted cash flows and market approaches in assessing whether an asset has been impaired. The Company measures impairment losses based upon the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from three to five years. Major repairs or improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements and maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend asset lives are expensed currently.

 

Demo Devices   4 years
Vehicles   3 years
Computer equipment   3 years
Office equipment   4 years

 

The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of fixed assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Upon retirement or other disposition of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development unless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, as determined by Management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected useful life or written off if a product is abandoned. At November 30, 2019 and February 28, 2019, the Company had no deferred development costs.

 

Contingencies

 

Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

 

Sales of Future Revenues

 

The Company has entered into transactions, as more fully described in footnote 10, in which it has received funding from investors in exchange for which it will make payments to those investors based on the level of sales of certain revenue categories, generally based on a percentage of sales for those certain revenues. The Company determines whether these agreements constitute sales of future revenues or are in substance debt based on the facts and circumstances of each agreement, with the following primary criteria determinative of whether the agreement constitutes a sale of future revenues or debt:

 

  Does the agreement purport, in substance, to be a sale
  Does the Company have continuing involvement in the generation of cash flows due the investor
  Is the transaction cancellable by either party through payment of a lump sum or other transfer of assets
  Is the investors rate of return  implicitly limited by the terms of the agreement
  Does the Company’s revenue for a reporting period underlying the agreement have only a minimal impact on the investor’s rate of return
  Does the investor have recourse relating to payments due

 

In the event a transaction is determined to be a sale of future revenues, it is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized using the sum-of-the-revenue method. In the event a transaction is determined to be debt, it is recorded as debt and amortized using the effective interest method. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has determined that all such agreements are debt.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry specific guidance under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process that must be evaluated and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company adopted Topic 606 on March 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, prior period financial positions and results will not be adjusted. There was no cumulative effect adjustment recognized as a result of this adoption. Refer to Note 5 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.

 

Income Taxes

 

On July 25, 2017, Robotic Assistance Devices LLC converted to a C Corporation, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., through the issuance of 10,000 common shares to its sole shareholder. Prior to the conversion on July 25, 2017, income taxes are not provided in the financial statements as presented as RAD was an LLC and the income or loss flowed through to the shareholder for the two months ended February 28, 2017. Thereafter, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method from that date forward. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss and other tax credit carry-forwards. These items are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

 

Leases

 

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are capital leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) transfer of ownership; (b) bargain purchase option; (c) the lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property; or (d) the present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.

 

If at its inception, a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the Company as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the Company as an operating lease.

 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as deferred rent and included in liabilities.

 

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

 

The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.

 

Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.

 

Initial Measurement

 

The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.

 

Subsequent Measurement – Financial Instruments Classified as Liabilities

 

The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other income (expenses).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

 

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
     
  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
  Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

 

Measured on a Recurring Basis

 

The following table presents information about our liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fell:

  

    Amount at   Fair Value Measurement Using  
    Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3  
November 30, 2019                          
Liabilities                          
Derivative liability – conversion features pursuant to convertible notes payable   $ 5,342,487   $   $   $ 5,342,487  
                           
February 28, 2019                          
Liabilities                          
Derivative liability – conversion features pursuant to convertible notes payable   $ 6,170,139   $   $   $ 6,170,139  

 

See Note 15 for specific inputs used and a description of the model used in determining fair value.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

  

Earnings (Loss) per Share

  

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.

 

See additional disclosure in Note 18.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

See discussion of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, above.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Modification Accounting for Share-Based Payment Arrangements. The standard amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. There was no impact on the financial statements of adopting this new standard on March 1, 2018.

 

On March 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and 2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 but does not expect any material impact on the financial statements because the leases commencing March 1, 2019 are month to month.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 was issued to provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 using a modified retrospective adoption method. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact this accounting standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt this March 1, 2020.
