3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are made in relation to the allowance for doubtful accounts and the fair value of certain financial instruments.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Studio One Media, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Notes and Other Receivables

Notes and other receivables are stated at amounts management expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for uncollectible receivables based upon management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at each reporting period considering historical experience and customer credit quality and delinquency status. Delinquency status is determined by contractual terms. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified.

 

Loss Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per Common Share is computed by dividing losses attributable to Common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The losses attributable to Common shareholders was increased for accrued and deemed dividends on Preferred Stock during the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of $48,777 and $51,048, respectively.

 

Diluted earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to Common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional Shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding convertible Preferred Stock, stock options, warrants, and convertible debt. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

  

For the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, all of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities (warrants, options, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. The total number of potentially dilutive Common Shares that were excluded were 21,174,420 and 12,200,097 at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Fair Value Instruments

Cash is the Company’s only financial asset or liability required to be recognized at fair value and is measured using quoted prices for active markets for identical assets (Level 1 fair value hierarchy).  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for notes receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

The fair value of the Company’s notes payable at March 31, 2015 is approximately $5,418,236. Market prices are not available for the Company’s loans due to related parties or its other notes payable, nor are market prices of similar loans available. The Company determined that the fair value of the notes payable based on its amortized cost basis due to the short term nature and current borrowing terms available to the Company for these instruments.

 

Derivative Liabilities

In connection with the private placement of certain convertible instruments beginning in December 31, 2014, the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares of common stock in excess of the 100 million authorized under the Company's certificate of incorporation. Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with common shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative liability.

 

The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

 

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to December 9, 2014 are derivative liabilities.

 

The Company values these convertible notes payable using the multinomial lattice method that values the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow 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.

 

Income Taxes

There is no income tax provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 due to net operating losses for which there is no benefit currently available.

 

At March 31, 2015, the Company had deferred tax assets associated with state and federal net operating losses. The Company has recorded a corresponding full valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassification

Certain amounts disclosed in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. Such reclassifications are for presentation purposes only and have no effect on the Company’s net loss or financial position in any of the periods presented. The Company has made adjustments to the Income Statement and Cash flows Statement in impairment of assets and disposal of assets, respectively.
