Revenue Recognition
In May 2017, the Company launched the online directory and digital signage components of its ongoing licensing services it provides to third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the services have been provided; (3) the price for the services is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) is based on the Company's judgment regarding fixed nature of the price for the services and the collectability of amounts charged to the Company's customers.
During the period of May through September 2017, the Company entered into various licensing arrangements to be recognized as revenue over the life of the licensing agreements ranging from one to twelve months. The Company recognized $5,990 and $9,420 in revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and at September 30, 2017, $7,773 was deferred to future periods. At September 30, 2017, the Company was owed $6,365 for these services and had determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with accounting standard ASC 820-10-50, "Fair Value Measurements." This guidance 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:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at market interest rates and are also short-term in nature.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
From time to time our cash balances, held at a major financial institution, exceed the federally insured limits of $250,000. Our management believes that the financial institution is financially sound and the risk of loss is low.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the statement of cash flows, any liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered to be cash equivalents.
Income (Loss) Per Share
The computation of basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents as detailed in the following chart. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the inclusion of these shares on the consolidated statement of operations would have resulted in a weighted average shares fully diluted number that was anti-dilutive, and as such they are excluded. No common stock equivalents were present during the period of July 29, 2016 (Advantego's inception) through September 30, 2016.
Fully diluted shares for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are as follows:
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Under the liability method, future tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the financial statements and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax law and rates on the date of enactment.
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
