Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements

Use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include allowances, reserves and write-downs of receivables and inventory, valuing equity securities and hybrid instruments, share-based payment arrangements, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, and the preliminary valuation of the net assets acquired in the Merger. Certain of our estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and records adjustments when necessary.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped, title passes to customers and collection is reasonably assured. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon the Company’s delivery to the carrier. Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using historical experience. Revenue from product sales and services rendered is recorded net of sales and consumption taxes.

 

The Company periodically provides incentive offers to its customers to encourage purchases. Such offers include current discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current purchases, inducement offers, such as offers for future discounts subject to a minimum current purchase, and other similar offers. Current discount offers, when accepted by the Company’s customers, are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction, while inducement offers, when accepted by its customers, are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction based on estimated future redemption rates. Redemption rates are estimated using the Company’s historical experience for similar inducement offers. The Company reports sales, net of current discount offers and inducement offers on its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable, net is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company provides a provision for allowances that includes returns, allowances and doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates its provision for allowances based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the provision for allowances will change.

 

At March 31, 2015 accounts receivable balances included a concentration from one customer of an amount greater than 10% of the total net accounts receivable balance. The amount was $54,993. At December 31, 2014 accounts receivable balances included concentrations from seven customers that had balances of an amount greater than 10%. The amounts ranged from $27,729 to $177,200. As to revenues, no customers accounted for revenues in excess of 10% of the net sales for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost, or when acquired as part of a business acquisition, at estimated fair value. Certain identifiable intangible assets are amortized over 5 and 10 years. Similar to tangible personal property and equipment, the Company periodically evaluates identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment existed at March 31, 2015.

 

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as goodwill are not amortized. The Company tests the carrying amounts of goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis at December 31st or when events or changes in circumstances indicate evidence of potential impairment exists, using a fair value based test.

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. If the cost of the inventories exceeds their market value, provisions are recorded to write down excess inventory to its net realizable value. The Company’s inventories consist primarily of merchandise available for resale.

Fair value measurements

Note 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value framework under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the assets or liabilities.  Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally require significant management judgment.  The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

 

  Level 1:  Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
     
  Level 2:  Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
     
  Level 3:  Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

 

The following table summarizes the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
LIABILITIES:                                
Warrant liability                   $ 87,603     $ 87,603  
Total derivative liabilities   $ -     $ -     $ 87,603     $ 87,603  

 

The following table summarizes the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014:

 

      Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total  
LIABILITIES:                                
Warrant liability   $ -     $ -     $ -     $ -  
Total derivative liability   $ -     $ -     $ -     $ -  

 

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, who report to the Chief Financial Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Level 3 Valuation Techniques

 

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

 

The Company deems financial instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. The common stock purchase warrants reissued by the Company in connection with the Merger do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders.  Corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in each subsequent period.

 

The Company’s warrant liabilities are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. Although the Company determined the warrants include an implied downside protection feature, it performed a Monte-Carlo simulation and concluded that the value of the feature is de minimus and the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model is considered to be a reasonable method to value the warrants.

 

The following table summarizes the values of certain assumptions used by the Company’s custom model to estimate the fair value of the warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2015:

 

    March 31, 2015  
    (Unaudited)  
Stock price   $ 1.04  
Weighted average strike price   $ 0.24  
Remaining contractual term (years)     3.70  
Volatility     124.0 %
Risk-free rate     1.37 %
Dividend yield     0.0 %

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

    For the three
months ended
March 31, 2015
 
Beginning balance   $  
Fair value of warrant liabilities reissued in connection with the Merger     49,638  
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities     37,965  
Ending balance   $ 87,603  

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for free-standing derivative instruments and hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretations of this topic. In accordance with this topic, derivative instruments and hybrid instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

The Company estimates fair values of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective of measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex instruments, such as free-standing warrants, the Company generally uses the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s income (loss) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under ASC 815, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

Convertible Debt Instruments

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company amortizes the respective debt discount over the term of the notes, using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company records, when necessary, induced conversion expense, at the time of conversion for the difference between the reduced conversion price per share and the original conversion price per share.

Lease Accounting

Lease Accounting

 

The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a capital lease or an operating lease. If substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership have been transferred to the Company as lessee, the Company records the lease as a capital lease at its inception. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. If the lease agreement calls for a scheduled rent increase during the lease term, the Company recognizes the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determines the straight-line rent impact of an operating lease upon inception of the lease.
