1. Description of Business and Summary of Accounting Principles

 

Description of Business

 

Pervasip Corp. (“Pervasip”, or the “Company”) is an application-based Internet company, and primarily provides low-cost telephone services, connecting people through cloud-connected devices worldwide.  Most of the Company’s revenues are derived from customers in the United States that use the Company’s applications to access Internet-based telephone services.  

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.  The most significant estimates relate to the derivative liabilities, income tax valuation allowance, and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.  On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates, utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions.  After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents during 2014 and 2013.

 

Marketable securities

 

The Company classifies investments in equity securities bought and held primarily to be sold in the short term that have readily determinable fair values, as trading securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings. Any unrealized holding gains and losses from available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are recorded in comprehensive income until a gain or loss has been realized.

 

 

Collectibility of Accounts Receivable

 

Trade receivables potentially subject the Company to credit risk.  As of November 30, 2014, all customers are on a prepay basis, whereas many customers at November 30, 2013 paid after receiving an invoice. Consumers that use the Company’s mobile Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) application, are required to prepay for all mobile telephone services via a credit card or an online payment service, such as Paypal. Until September 30, 2014, the Company had wholesale customers, which typically provided a security deposit and paid for their services each month, in arrears.

 

In order to record the Company’s accounts receivable at their net realizable value, the Company must assess their collectibility.  A considerable amount of judgment is required in order to make this assessment, including an analysis of historical bad debts and other adjustments, a review of the aging of the Company’s receivables, and the current creditworthiness of the Company’s customers.  Generally, when a customer account reached a certain level of delinquency, the Company disconnected the customer’s service and provided an allowance for the related amount receivable from the customer.  At November 30, 2013, the Company has recorded allowances for receivables that it considered uncollectible, including amounts for the resolution of potential credit and other collection issues, such as disputed invoices and pricing discrepancies.  However, depending on how such potential issues are resolved, or if the financial condition of any of the Company’s customers was to deteriorate and its ability to make required payments became impaired, increases in these allowances may be required.  The Company writes off the accounts receivable balance from a customer and the related allowance established when it believes it has exhausted all reasonable collection efforts.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from voice, data and other applications and services are recognized in the period in which subscribers use the related services.  Services billed in advanced, such as line fees, bundled monthly plans or prepaid calling cards, are deferred until they are earned. Services billed in arrears, such as international usage and wholesale usage, are accrued for in the month the usage occurred. Equipment sales are recognized when the equipment is shipped.

  

Costs of Services

 

Costs of services consist primarily of direct costs that we pay to third parties in order to provide telephone services.  These costs include access and interconnection charges that we pay to other telephone companies to terminate domestic and international phone calls on the public switched telephone network. These costs do not include indirect costs such as depreciation and amortization, payroll, and facilities costs.

 

Share-based Payments

  

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

 

The Company estimates volatility by considering the historical stock volatility. The Company has opted to use the simplified method for estimating expected term, which is generally equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.  A valuation allowance has been established to eliminate the Company’s deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that any of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the tax authorities.  Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.  The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense.  The Company has determined that it had no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.Accounting standards require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record 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. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

The Company accounts for the conversion of the underlying derivative of a convertible debt instrument as a gain or loss. The decrease in debt that results from a debt conversion is calculated and compared to the then-current fair value of shares issued with any difference recorded as a gain or loss.

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.  To the extent that stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.  Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants.  

 

Concentrations

 

As of November 30, 2013, the Company had one customer that constituted 80% of its accounts receivable.  For the years ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, one customer accounted for 27% and 36% of the Company’s revenues, respectively. We also had a customer that accounted for 24% of our revenues in fiscal 2014. These two customers were part of the assets we sold on September 30, 2014.

 

The Company is dependent on the availability and functionality of the networks of one vendor that it is using for VoIP services and is vulnerable to a cessation or disruption of service if the vendor experiences technical problems or does not pay its suppliers on a timely basis.

 

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities.
