(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). 

 

Going Concern:

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $7,385,372 for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $15,351,533, and a negative working capital of $2,507,897 as of December 31, 2017, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $369,900, before debt discount of $324,121.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement its business plan.  Given the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability.  The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

Revenues are recognized based on accrual accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company recognizes revenues when earned, regardless of the timing of cash receipts. The revenues are considered earned when the company has met its obligation to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenue. All deposits or advance payments for future months are classified as unearned revenues and are recognized as revenue only when the revenue producing event has occurred.

 

Risks and Uncertainties:

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and potential government regulations.  Significant changes in regulations and the inability of the Company to establish contracts with rail services providers could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

 

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 reported periods.  Amounts could materially change in the future. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment:

 

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service.  The Company expenses all purchases of equipment with individual costs of under $500, and these amounts are not material to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2017, we recorded the rail cars on the balance sheet at $125,000 with no accumulated depreciation. The rail cars are currently not depreciated as they are not in service and not ready to run. The rail cars require substantial investment to retrofit. The Company expensed the carrying value of 10 rail cars as they were exchanged for unpaid storage charges. The amount written off was $629,270 as of December 31, 2017.

 

Long-Lived Assets:

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  The Company’s management believes there has been no impairment of its long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2017, or 2016.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s business model will continue.  Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.  

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share:

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders after preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock.  Common stock equivalents have not been included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 as the amounts are anti-dilutive.  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no outstanding options.  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company also had convertible debt that is convertible into 39,167,080 and 11,450,000 shares, respectively, of common stock which was excluded from the computation.  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had 14,978,000 and 9,000,000 outstanding warrants, respectively, which were also excluded from the computation because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Income Taxes:

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

 

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits.  As of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

 

Share Based Payment:

 

The Company issues stock, options and warrants as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

 

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance FASB ASC 718.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. 

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

 

Derivative Liabilities:

 

The Company has certain embedded conversion options in notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The Company values these embedded conversion options in notes payable using the Black Scholes model.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations (see Note 7).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, notes payable and derivative liabilities.  Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value.  The principal balance of notes payable approximates fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

 

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
