In January 2014, the Company ordered tooling having a total cost of $72,700, of which a deposit of $36,350 was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The tooling will be for the purpose of manufacturing the case for the EPN Scan, has been received and is in the process of being validated. Depreciation of the tooling will commence on the date that the tooling is placed into service, over an expected useful life of five years.

 

As further described in Note 10 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement with an entity that provides consulting and professional services. The entity is owned and managed by a director of the Company. On March 26, 2014, the Company issued a second work order under the Master Services Agreement for the development, testing, and deployment of the Internet-based customer service portal. The second work order was planned to be completed in four phases (prototype completion, development completion, testing completion, and deployment) for a total estimated cost of $147,900, payable in amounts specified in the work order upon the completion of each phase or milestone. The consultant completed the first phase for the prototype completion and has been paid the corresponding cost of $26,800, which has been recorded as property and equipment. However, after completion of the first phase, further work under the Agreement was suspended by the mutual agreement of the Company and the consultant while the Company evaluates whether to proceed with the project.

 

The costs incurred for the development of the prototype of the Internet-based customer service portal pursuant to the second work order have been accounted for pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles governing the accounting for Website Development Costs and for Internal-Use Software. Those standards require that costs incurred during the preliminary project stage be expensed as incurred, costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage be capitalized, and costs incurred for training and during the post-implementation operation stage be expensed as incurred. Since the costs incurred related to the application development stage, the costs were capitalized as property and equipment and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the technology when completed and placed in service, with periodic evaluation for impairment.
