| Other Matters [Text Block] | Note 10 Other matters Legal fees relating to financing activities, blue sky registrations with states and other fund raising expenses were charged to additional paid in capital in the amount $11,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $126,315 during the year ended December 31, 2016. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 the Company sold 2,486,382 shares in Regulation S offerings to non-US investors. The total proceeds from the offering was $767,234. Commission and expense reimbursements totaled $441,170. The Company recorded net proceeds totaling $326,064. Stock subscriptions executed under an earlier offering included a provision whereby ABCO agrees to pay a dividend (defined as interest) of from 6% to 12% of the total amount invested for a period of one year from receipt of the invested funds. This dividend (defined as interest) is allocated between the broker and the investor with amounts paid to the broker treated as a cost of the offering and netted against additional paid in capital and amounts paid to the investor treated as interest expense. The balance of accrued interest at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 amounted to $49,290 and no payments have been made during the current period. ABCO has evaluated these agreements under ASC 480-10: Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity and determined that the capital contributions made under these subscription agreement more closely resemble equity than liabilities as they can only be settled through the issuance of shares and although they have a stated cost associated with them which accrues in the same manner as interest, the cost is only incurred in the first twelve months after placement as is more closely associated with a cost of raising funds than interest expense. During November, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,449,649 shares to financial consulting entities for services relating to fund raising activities. The total issuance was valued at $103,400 for fair market value as negotiated and that amount is charged to additional paid in capital. Effective June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (“CA”) with Joshua Tyrell (“Tyrell”) which provided for Tyrell to assist in various business development activities on behalf of the Company, including but not limited to realizing new business opportunities. In consideration for rendering such services, Tyrell was issued 150,000 free trading shares of Company common stock. The CA had a six month term expiring on June 30, 2017. On November 7, 2016 and on November 30, 2016, the CA was amended to provide for the payment of an additional 630,000 and an additional 500,000 free-trading shares, respectively to Tyrell for services rendered due to the huge trading volume of the derivative conversions and to extend the term of the CA to twelve (12) months ending November 7, 2017. The consultant received a total of 1,430,000 shares of free trading and restricted common stock valued at $91,600. The Company has entered into Securities Purchase Agreement with Blackbridge Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company [“SPA”], operating out of New York, New York (“Blackbridge”) whereby Blackbridge has agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has agreed to file a Registration Statement to register such shares for sale to Blackbridge. In addition, the Company has issued [i] a convertible promissory note to Blackbridge pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement equal to $150,000 as a commitment fee, that is currently charged to prepaid expenses until services are provided (the “Blackbridge Note”), [ii] and a $100,000 Convertible Note to cover the expenses to be incurred for the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and related matters (“Expenses Note”). On March 13, 2017, the Company and Blackbridge, entered into an Agreement, effective as of March 1, 2017, terminating the SPA. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company pursuant to the SPA could not be processed because of technical issues raised by the SEC and was withdrawn on February 28, 2017. In addition, the Blackbridge Note issued by the Company as a commitment fee remains, by its express terms, in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of the SPA as does the Expenses Note. |
