Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies

Organization and Business Description

Wrap Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a developer of security products designed for use by law enforcement and security personnel. The Company’s first product is the BolaWrap® 100 remote restraint device.

In December 2017, the Company completed a self-underwritten public offering raising gross proceeds of approximately $3.49 million from the sale of 2,328,533 shares of Company common stock at $1.50 per share. Three officers of the Company purchased an aggregate of 40,000 shares in the offering for an aggregate of $60,000.

On October 30, 2018 the Company obtained gross cash proceeds of $13.68 million and net cash proceeds of approximately $12.14 million from the sale of 4,561,074 units (“Units”) for $3.00 per Unit in a private offering. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one detachable two-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The Company’s unaudited interim financial statements and related notes included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was derived from audited financial statements, but certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the accompanying statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions (e.g., recognition and measurement of contingencies and accrued costs) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07 for stock-based transactions with non-employees. Stock based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes compensation expense for all stock-based payments based on a grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The grant date is the date at which an employer and employee or non-employee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a stock-based payment award.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) and ASC Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers (“ASC 340-40”), (collectively, “Topic 606”). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 and, as it had no prior revenue or contracts with customers, there was no transition required nor any impact on prior results. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations. See Note 2 for additional information.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, net consist of trade accounts receivables from the Company’s customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts if deemed necessary. Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company does not require collateral or other security for accounts receivable. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for potential credit losses, based on the historical experience. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have an allowance for potential credit losses as there were no estimated credit losses.

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The Company’s losses for the periods presented cause the inclusion of potential common stock instruments outstanding to be antidilutive. Stock options and warrants exercisable into a total of 8,084,681 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2019. These securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented as their inclusion would be antidilutive due to losses incurred by the Company.

Income Taxes

Until its conversion to a corporation on March 31, 2017, the Company was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and did not incur income taxes. Instead, its losses were included in the income tax returns of the member partners. No income tax expense was recorded for period ended March 31, 2019 due to losses incurred.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under the Federal tax laws. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance which provided an additional transition method for adopting the updated guidance. Under the additional transition method, entities may elect to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using this modified retrospective approach. The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of a ROU asset and lease liability of approximately $12,900 for one operating lease as of January 1, 2019, with no impact to retained earnings. The Company had no capital leases at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

 Effective the first quarter of 2020:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.

Other pronouncements:

The Company has reviewed other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements will be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of operations.
