Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the Company’s audited financial statements included in its December 31, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common share equivalents than outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and the exercise of convertible preferred stock.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, 28,740,529 common stock equivalents related to convertible preferred stock have been included in the calculation of diluted income per common share. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because they are anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents related to the conversion of stock options have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share for all periods because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic income or loss per common share is the same as diluted income or loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2016 condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-4, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” This update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity should apply the amendments in this update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this update. A public business entity that is an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-1, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments of this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
