Notes to Financial Statements

 
1.          Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
Nature of Operations

 
The Company provides advanced connectivity and software solutions to small and medium sized stock brokerage, arbitrage, investment banking firms, and Hedge Funds in major American markets from offices in Ramsey, NJ.  The Company's mission is to build autonomous, efficient, reliable and cost effective trading platforms in order to achieve Straight Through Processing (STP) in the financial industry. The Company's main business is customizing proprietary platforms so from one program STP is enabled across all the financial networks.
 
The Company is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and as such no member will be bound by, or be personally liable for the expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Company.  The latest date on which the limited liability company is to be dissolved and its affairs wrapped up is December 31, 2042.
 
Use of Estimates

 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
Income Taxes

 
The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for both federal and state tax purposes. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the members of an LLC are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution located in New Jersey. Accounts at the institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  As of September 30, 2009 there were no deposits uninsured.

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented at their net realizable value.  Doubtful accounts are written off in the year in which they are deemed uncollectible.  Subsequent collections of accounts previously written off are recognized as income in the year in which payments are received.

 
The Company assesses the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of their outstanding receivables, historical collection information and the economic conditions.  There is a $20,000 provision for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2009.
 
Equipment and Depreciation
 
Equipment is carried at cost.  Depreciation is computed by straight-line methods using estimated useful lives of generally 5 to 10 years for machinery and equipment.  Equipment under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life.  Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of equipment are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.
 
Other Assets
 
Other assets include a deposit on a trade show booth at September 30, 2009.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company records the revenues on its software hosting and other services when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fees are fixed or determinable, the services have been delivered and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
The Company's software hosting contracts include the right to use the software and are generally multiple element arrangements, which provide for certain deliverables to the customer that may include software support, enhancements, training and website maintenance.  The Company does not allow the customers to take possession of the Company's software at any time, therefore, the Company applies FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-605-55 Software Revenue Recognition, par.119, Hosting Arrangement,  to the Company's current customer agreements and arrangements.

      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 
Revenue Recognition(continued)
 
Since they include multiple deliverables, these arrangements are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25 Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements.  ASC 605-25 requires that the Company assess whether the different elements qualify for separate accounting.  The Company has vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for each element, and each element has value to each customer on a standalone basis so they each qualify for separate accounting.  The various elements are recognized as revenue as follows:
 
Professional user charges are license fees for the right to use the software and are recognized based on a fixed monthly fee for hosting services performed over the duration of the contract.
 
Software consulting revenue is from time and materials service contracts and other services and is recognized as services are provided based on the relative fair value of this element.
 
Web page maintenance is revenue for software support and reporting compliance services provided on a consistent monthly basis, and revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based on the relative fair value of this element.
 
Revenue for user fees and connectivity are generated from hosting services that allow customers to monitor and analyze their trading and data usage.  Revenue for user fees are based on fixed connection fees incurred from providing hosting services and revenue for connectivity charges are based on fees for actual trading activity.

 
Advertising Costs

 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $3,286.

 
Software Development Costs
 
The Company capitalizes its software development costs consistent with the provisions of ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred, while application stage projects are capitalized. The costs capitalized during the application stage are generally related to consulting services directly associated with the development of the software. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company did not determine any costs to be capitalized. Amortization of any future capitalized costs would commence once the related software is placed in service and would be amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software.

Included in the balance above is a loan payable due to an LLC at September 30, 2009 in the amount of $104,301 which includes accrued interest at 8% per annum.  The principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this loan is due on June 13, 2010.  The loan carries a default rate of 18% upon default of payment or other event of default.

 
Net Executions, LLC, a company wholly-owned by the sole members of the Company loaned the Company $15,388 during 2008. This loan was forgiven during 2009, increasing members’ capital.
