Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

NOTE 2 -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES

 

a) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America ("U.S.") as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and with the rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

b) Principles of Combination

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Precision Analytics Testing, LLC (Precision), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. 

 

c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

d) Cash and Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.  The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

e) Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at cost utilizing the weighted average method of valuation and consist of raw materials and finished goods. The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's inventories for such declines in value.

 

f) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We establish the existence of bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and financial condition of our customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2018 is $59,210 and $0 for the period ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

g) Property and Equipment

 

All property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, generally three, seven and twelve years, using the straight-line method.  Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

 

h) Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

A long lived asset is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows resulting from its use and eventual disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long lived assets exceeds its fair value.

 

Impairment charges would be included with costs and expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations, and would result in reduced carrying amounts of the related assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. No adjustments were made to long-lived assets during the period ended June 30, 2018, as a result of management's assessments.

 

i) Advertising

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred and are included in operating expenses. The amounts charged for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $38,174 and $50,885, respectively.

 

j) Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, effective for public business entities with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  This new revenue recognition standard (new guidance) has a five step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; and e) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. The impact of the Company’s initial application of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs only when the product is ordered and subsequently shipped.

 

k) Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740 10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740 10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before December 31, 2014.  The company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Company has received no notice of audit or any notifications from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

 

l) Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company.  Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless consideration of such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution.

 

m) Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of the Company’s current consolidated financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values because of the short term maturities of these instruments.

 

FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

 

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
  • Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices 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.
  • Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

o) Related Party Transactions

 

All transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount.

 

n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 02, Leases which, for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight line basis. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016 02 is expected to result in the recognition of right to use assets and associated obligations on its balance sheet.
