NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Going Concern

 

The Company had limited revenues during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and has incurred a net loss of $824,880 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company has not been able to generate positive cash from operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. In addition, at December 31, 2011 the Company has a negative working capital of $379,942 and stockholders' deficiency of $271,182. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company plans on funding operations and liquidity needs from licensing arrangements, debt financing and sales of its common stock and notes convertible into common stock. There can be no assurance that additional funds required for continued operations during the next year or thereafter will be generated from our operations.

 

Should the Company seek additional funds from external sources such as debt or additional equity financings or other potential sources, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise sufficient capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.

 

Accordingly, the Company's existence is dependent on management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company plans to raise additional funds through debt and equity placements and increase revenue through new product development. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient cash flow from its operations or raise proceeds from offering debt or equity securities, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease its activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of TOMI (a Florida Corporation) (Parent), its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and through November 2011 its 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Singapore. In November 2011 the Company disposed TOMI-Singapore. The Company’s 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI-Environmental-China (TOMI-China) has been dormant since its formation in April 2011. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Reclassification of Accounts

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans payable and convertible notes. All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded value of long-term debt approximates its fair value as the terms and rates approximate market rates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Amounts held at financial institutions did not exceed federally insured limits at December 31, 2011.

 

Property and Equipment

 

We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use.

 

Long-Lived Assets Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. We have made no material adjustments to our long-lived assets in any of the years presented.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the effect of potentially dilutive securities (Series A Preferred Stock, options, convertible debt and warrants: 2,445,000 and 550,000 shares at December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively) would be anti-dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award's fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan calls for the Company through a committee of its Board of Directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of grant with a term no greater

than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company's outstanding stocks are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. At the date of grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has 60,000 options outstanding and 941,500 common shares issued under the Plan.

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for debt discount and valuation of detachable warrants. The Company recognized the value of detachable warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of the convertible Debenture note. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the warrant relative fair value as an increase to additional paid-in capital and discount against the related debt. The discount attributed to the value of the warrants is amortized over the term of the underlying debt.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when the expected recognition of a deferred tax asset is considered to be unlikely. The guidance also requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is calculated in accordance with ASC 220 "Comprehensive Income". ASC 220 requires the disclosure of all components of comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2010, comprehensive income related to foreign currency translation adjustment relating to the Company's Singapore subsidiary.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company's Singapore subsidiary were translated to US dollars using the current exchange rate for assets and liabilities. Amounts on the statement of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency translation are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

Advertising and Promotional Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, advertising expenses totaled approximately $2,200 and $12,000, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This guidance amends the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements and requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The Company's adoption of this updated guidance was not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to subsequent events. As a result of this updated guidance, public filers must still evaluate subsequent events through the issuance date of their financial statements; however, they are not required to disclose the date in which subsequent events were evaluated in their financial statements disclosures. This amended guidance became effective upon its issuance on February 24, 2010 at which time the Company adopted this updated guidance.

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
