Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION We determined our reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). We evaluate a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. We then evaluate each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, we evaluate those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, we determine if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. We currently have two separate operating segments and reporting units. In our agriculture segment, we generate revenue by licensing commercially-available technologies to U.S. ethanol producers, and providing our licensees with success-driven, value-added services and other solutions based upon our expertise, know-how, technologies, and patent position. We also generate sales in our lifestyle segment by producing and selling activewear and other apparel for women and children, an important early-adopter market for wearable technologies that we are developing. No sales of any kind occur, and no costs of sales of any kind are incurred, in the absence of a license agreement in our agriculture segment. A single management team that reports to the chief operating decision maker comprehensively manages the entire business in each segment. With the exception of the segment classifications noted above, we do not operate any material separate lines of business or separate business entities with respect to our technologies, products and services; nor do we accumulate discrete financial information according to the nature or structure of any specific technology, product and/or service. Instead, management reviews the agriculture and lifestyle segments as distinct operating segments, using financial and other information rendered meaningful only by the fact that such information is presented and reviewed in the aggregate.
Revenue Recognition | REVENUE RECOGNITION In our lifestyle segment, we recognize revenue when the following conditions are satisfied: (i) delivery of the product has occurred and (ii) collection is reasonably assured. Under our lifestyle segment, orders are received via national sales representatives, in house wholesale sales departments and various retail platforms. Once the order is received, they are either automatically or manually inputted into our production system. Our production system generates production orders which our production team takes and produces based on the purchase order terms. Revenue is recognized only when the orders have been shipped. Generally, all orders are paid upon shipment via credit card or wire transfer. For a small percentage, the orders are shipped on terms of less than 30 days. Revenue is recognized at the time of shipment and a related receivable is booked. We experience less than 2% of annual sales in returns. For orders where goods are considered damaged, these items are swapped with new merchandise. Under our agriculture segment, GreenShift recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. GreenShift recognizes revenue from licensing of GreenShift’s corn oil extraction technologies when corn oil sales occur. Licensing royalties are recognized as earned by calculating the royalty as a percentage of gross corn oil sales by the ethanol plants. For the purposes of assessing royalties, the sale of corn oil is deemed to occur when shipped, which is when four basic criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured, and (iv) product delivery has occurred, which is generally upon shipment to the buyer of the corn oil. To the extent revenues are generated from GreenShift’s licensing support services, GreenShift recognizes such revenues when the services are completed and billed. GreenShift provides process engineering services on fixed price contracts. These services are generally provided over a short period of less than three months. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized on a pro rata basis over the life of the contract as they are generally performed evenly over the contract period. GreenShift additionally performs under fixed-price contracts involving design, engineering, procurement, installation, and start-up of oil recovery and other production systems. Revenues and fees on these contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. During 2015 and 2016, our percentage-of-completion methods included the efforts-expended percentage-of-completion method and the cost-to-cost method. The efforts-expended method utilizes using measures such as task duration and completion. The efforts-expended approach is used in situations where it is more representative of progress on a contract than the cost-to-cost or the labor-hours method (see below). GreenShift also used the cost-to-cost method which is used to determine the percentage of completion of a project based on the actual costs incurred. Earnings are recognized periodically based upon our estimate of contract revenues and costs in providing the services required under the contract. The percentage of completion method must be used in lieu of the completed contract method when all of the following are present: reasonably reliable estimates can be made of revenue and costs; the construction contract specifies the parties’ rights as to the goods, consideration to be paid and received, and the resulting terms of payment or settlement; the contract purchaser has the ability and expectation to perform all contractual duties; and the contract contractor has the same ability and expectation to perform. Under the completed contract method income is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially completed. The asset, “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share | BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE The Company computes its net income or loss per common share under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” whereby basic net income or loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options, common stock warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures, have not been included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, as the results would be antidilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we reported a net loss, and accordingly dilutive instruments were excluded from the net loss per share calculation for such periods. There were 103,360,949,561 such potentially dilutive shares excluded for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as well as 109,167,971,335 potentially dilutive shares excluded for six months ended June 30, 2015. The following is a reconciliation of weighted common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

Financial Instruments | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying values of accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short term maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt approximate their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of such debt to the rates and terms of debt currently available to the Company. It was not practical to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt. In order to do so, it would be necessary to obtain an independent valuation of these unique instruments. The cost of that valuation would not be justified in light of the materiality of the instruments to the Company.
Equity Investments | EQUITY INVESTMENTS Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s share of its equity method investee’s earnings or losses is included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers which modifies how all entities recognize revenue and various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. This update is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of the ASU to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2014-09, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, or ASU No. 2015-02. The amendments of ASU No. 2015-02 were issued in an effort to minimize situations under previously existing guidance in which a reporting entity was required to consolidate another legal entity in which that reporting entity did not have: (1) the ability through contractual rights to act primarily on its own behalf; (2) ownership of the majority of the legal entity’s voting rights; or (3) the exposure to a majority of the legal entity’s economic benefits. ASU No. 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The guidance in ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted this standard at January 1, 2016, but it did not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 — In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, or ASU No. 2015-03. The amendments of ASU No. 2015-03 were issued to reduce complexity in the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs. ASU No. 2015-03 requires 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 are not affected by the amendments in this standard. Additionally, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, or ASU No. 2015-15, as ASU No. 2015-03 did not specifically address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU No. 2015-15 allows an entity to continue to defer and present debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The guidance in ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted this standard at January 1, 2016, as required by the guidance. In accordance with the guidance, $2,890,282 of unamortized debt issuance costs, associated with the Company’s debt, were reclassified from other assets, as previously reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015, to convertible notes. Debt issuance costs in excess of the note principal in the amount of $646,975 were reclassified from other assets, as previously reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015, to accumulated deficit due to the retrospective application of the accounting change. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU-2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments of ASU NO. 2015-11 were issued in an effort to change the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and the net realizable value. The guidance in ASU NO. 2015-11 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2015-11, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance establishes the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2016-02, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07 (Topic 323), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The new guidance eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the possible impact of ASU 2016-07, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
