SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, doubtful accounts, intangible assets, income taxes, valuation of equity instruments, accrued liabilities, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Cash
The Company deposits its cash with major financial institutions and may at times exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. At June 30, 2016 cash exceeds the federally insured limit by $180,800. The Company believes that the risk of loss is minimal. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses related to cash deposits with financial institutions.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2016, the Companys only derivative financial instruments were a series of convertible notes having embedded derivative liabilities based on the conversion price of the note relative to the market price of a share of Common Stock on the valuation date. See Notes 3 & 4.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825-10 defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.
The Company also analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480-10, ASC 815-10 and ASC 815-40.
The Company adopted ASC 820-10 on January 1, 2008. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
The Company used Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the conversion option liability in determining the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumption inputs:
For a roll-forward analysis of embedded derivative liabilities refer to Note 4. Derivative Liabilities
At June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had derivative liabilities of $1,473,600 and $833,000 respectively. For the nine months ending June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had gains on the fair valuation of derivative liabilities of $1,035,900 and $185,200 on fair valuation of derivative liabilities respectively. As of June 30, 2016, the Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10.
Accounts Receivable
The Company estimates the collectability of customer receivables on an ongoing basis by reviewing past-due invoices and assessing the current creditworthiness of each customer. Allowances are provided for specific receivables deemed to be at risk for collection which as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 were $1,200 and $1,200 respectively.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and Equipment, which are recorded at cost, consist of office furniture, computer equipment and copiers and printers which are depreciated over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. The useful life of these assets is estimated to be between three and five years. Depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $2,400 and $5,500 respectively. Accumulated depreciation on furniture and equipment at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 was $66,300 and $74,500, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
As required by ASC 350-30 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the assets carrying value and fair value. No impairment loss was recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Intangible Assets
Costs for software developed for internal use are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over three years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software development and costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility and estimated economic life. At June 30, 2016, the Company had $65,700 in capitalized software development of which $56,700 and $65,700 was capitalized during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016. The Company will begin amortizing the software over its estimated economic life once it has been placed into service. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, there has been no amortization expense for capitalized software development as it has not yet been placed into service.
On November 23, 2011, the Company acquired intellectual property in the form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) biomarkers at a cost of $21,200 which was recorded at cost and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years on a straight-line basis. Amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1,600 for both periods. Accumulated depreciation on the intellectual property at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 was $9,700 and $8,100, respectively.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable consists of trade payables of which $344,600 and $511,500 are for legal services at June 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents revenue collected but not earned as of June 30, 2016. This represents a philanthropic grant for the payment of PEER Reports ordered for a clinical trial, which are otherwise not paid for by the military. These deferred revenue grant funds as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 are $45,900 for both periods.
Revenues
The Company recognizes revenue on services, being the delivery of PEER Reports to medical providers, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition. In all cases, revenue is recognized when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, a determinable fee, when collection is considered to be reasonably assured and the services are delivered.
Research and Development Expenses
The Company charges all research and development expenses to operations as incurred.
Advertising Expenses
The Company charges all advertising expenses to operations as incurred. For the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 advertising expenses were $148,300 and $18,600 respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted ASC 718-20 and related interpretations which establish the accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under ASC 718-20, share-based compensation cost to option grantee, being employees and directors, and is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award (see Note 5 for further discussion on valuations). The expense is recognized over the option grantees requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. Federal and California as our "major" tax jurisdictions. Generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2010 through 2014 U.S. federal income tax returns, and remain subject to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our 2010 through 2014 California Franchise Tax Returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC 220-10 requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income (loss) on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Companys comprehensive income (loss) is the same as its reported net income (loss) for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised and converted into Common Stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Apart from the below-mentioned recent accounting pronouncements, there are no new accounting pronouncements that are currently applicable to the Company.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03 is to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update would require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs would not be affected by the amendments in this Update. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
