Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Findex.com, Inc. (“Findex”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 7, 1997, and is headquartered in Lake Park, Florida with its base of business operations co-located in the same facility. The Company is currently comprised of two operating companies, EcoSmart Surface & Coating Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (“EcoSmart”) and Advanced Cement Sciences, LLC (formerly Advanced Nanofibers, LLC), a Florida limited liability company (“ACS”). The Company had 31.05% interest in ACS during the year until December 24, 2018, when it acquired the remaining interest. EcoSmart has historically been the driver of both operating overhead and revenue. EcoSmart was acquired by the Company in a merger in 2014 and centers around a proprietary line of specialty surface coatings that have a broad range of value-adding industrial, commercial, residential and consumer applications. With a line of products carrying the brand name “EcoSmart,” both the business unit (as distinct from the corporate subsidiary in which it is housed) and the line of products itself are currently in the process of being re-branded under the name “RexPro (Sealers and Coatings).” ACS is a Florida-based, engineered cement technology and products firm founded in mid-2016 and currently focused on developing and commercializing a line of proprietary admixtures to be used in the production of ultra-lightweight, high-strength concrete and high-performance stucco. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in US dollars. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Reagan Holdings, Inc., Findex.com, Inc. Delaware, ESCT Acquisition Corp. and ACS). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications Certain accounts in the Company’s 2017 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in 2018 financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates include inventory evaluation for slow moving and obsolete items, collectability of accounts receivable, assessing intangibles for impairment, useful lives of assets, and valuation of stock based compensation and consideration of variable interest entities. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company reports segment information that is consistent with the management and measurement system utilized within the Company. This approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker (the chief executive officer) in determining how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. The Company’s reportable operating segment consists of ACS. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, ACS had $4,437 and $2,605, respectively, in revenue, an operating loss of $163,705 and $306,021, respectively, assets in the form of cash, accounts receivable and inventory totaling $7,811 and $4,053, respectively, and liabilities in the form of accounts payable totaling $267,267 and $99,804, respectively. See Note 3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Within the Company’s operations as a whole, the Company’s products are sold to resellers and distributors generally under terms appropriate for the creditworthiness of the customer. Terms generally range from cash on delivery, net 10 days or net 30 days. Receivables from customers are unsecured. The Company continuously monitors its customer account balances and actively pursues collections on past due balances. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts comprised of two components, (i) historical collections performance and (ii) specific collection issues. If actual bad debts differ from the reserves calculated based on historical trends and known customer issues, an adjustment to bad debt expense is recorded in the period in which the difference occurs. Such adjustment could result in additional expense or a reduction of expense. The Company’s accounts receivable go through a collection process that is based on the age of the invoice and requires attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals and the assistance from other personnel within the Company who have a relationship with the customer. If after a number of days, the Company has been unsuccessful in its collections efforts, it may turn the account over to a collection agency. The Company writes-off accounts to the allowance when it has determined that collection is unlikely. The factors considered in reaching this determination are (i) the apparent financial condition of the customer, (ii) the success the Company has in contacting and negotiating with the customer and (iii) the number of days the account has been outstanding. To the extent that the Company’s collections do not correspond with historical experience, it may be required to incur additional charges. INVENTORY The Company’s inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out method. The Company’s inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods. The Company takes into consideration certain inventory items that are slow moving and obsolete and calculates a provision for these inventory items. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives generally ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expenses as incurred. ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted projection of net cash flows. Property and equipment to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. INTANGIBLE ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents and patents pending acquired from third parties, and are recorded at cost. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally three to ten years. All intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not recognize any impairment expense related to intangible assets. See Note 6. GOODWILL AND CERTAIN OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS As required by ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company tests long-lived assets for impairment at each reporting period. Long-lived assets are assessed for impairment by a two-step process. First, the Company determines if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted projected net cash flows over the remaining estimated life of the asset, which would indicate that the asset may be impaired. If the Company determines that the asset may be impaired, it compares the projection of discounted net cash flows over the remaining estimated life of the asset to its carrying amount to determine if there is an impairment loss. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not recognize any impairment expense. The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE The Company from time to time may issue convertible note agreements that may have conversion prices which create an embedded beneficial conversion feature pursuant to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) guidance on beneficial conversion features. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note agreement is issued and the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note agreement is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note agreement after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note agreement proceeds to the fair value of any attached equity instruments, if any related equity instruments were granted with the debt. In accordance with the EITF guidance, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note agreement using the effective interest method. In the case of no termination date of the note agreement, the debt discount is fully expensed to interest expense. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. The Company at times may enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In such cases, revenue would be recognized at the time of delivery for each identified product or performance of service. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Nature of Products and Services In addition, within the Company’s operations as a whole, the Company derives part of its revenues from the sale of downloadable software products. Licenses for on-premises software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Revenue from distinct on-premises licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Distribution Rights The Company at times may derive part of its revenue from the sale of distribution rights within a designated territory for a period of time. Licenses for an exclusive territory provides a single distributor with the right to use and sell the distribution rights within the specified designated territory for a specified period. The determination of when the Company recognizes revenue is based on whether the distribution rights transfers to the distributor at (i) a point in time or (ii) over time. Furthermore, the Company needs to determine in accordance with ASC 606 if the distribution rights is (i) functional intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality or is (ii) symbolic intellectual property that requires ongoing activities from the Company. In June 2018, the Company received payment in the amount of $100,000 from the sale of distribution rights within a designated territory for a period of time of thirty years to a distributor. In August 2018, the Company received an additional payment in the amount of $90,000 for the sale of distribution rights within a separate designated territory for a period of thirty years to a distributor. The Company determined that the associated revenue would be recognized over the period of thirty years as the agreements for the sale of the distribution rights also called for the Company to continue to produce the product for the distributor over the term of the agreements. Therefore, the distribution rights were deemed to be symbolic intellectual property in accordance with ASC 606 as it requires ongoing activities from the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized contract liability in the amount of $187,056 and revenue in the amount of $2,944 from such sale of distribution rights. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company’s research and development costs consist of direct production costs, including labor directly associated with the development of projects and outside consultants, and indirect costs such as those associated with facilities use. For labor costs and costs of outside consultants, the Company records the research and development costs as a reduction against either personnel costs or professional fees. For facilities leasing related expenses, the Company records the research and development costs as a reduction against rent. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $175,591 and $343,020, respectively, in research and development costs. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company recognizes share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires that the Company measure the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award for equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value and to recognize this cost over the requisite service period. See Note 10. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment. ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties. See Note 9. The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. All of the Company’s tax years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE The Company follows the guidance of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to calculate and report basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. For the Company, dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants for all periods and convertible notes payable. When discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and/or the cumulative effect of an accounting change are present, income before any of such items on a per share basis represents the “control number” in determining whether potential shares of common stock are dilutive or anti-dilutive. Thus, the same number of potential shares of common stock used in computing diluted EPS for income from continuing operations is used in calculating all other reported diluted EPS amounts. In the case of a net loss, it is assumed that no incremental shares would be issued because they would be anti-dilutive. In addition, certain options and warrants are considered anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were above the average market price during the period. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS, in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-17. The calculations of net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 excluded the impact of the following potential common shares as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
For the Year Ended December 31 | 2018 | 2017
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Outstanding Convertible Note Payables | 173,120,917 | 264,036,416
Total weighted average anti-dilutive potential common shares | 173,120,917 | 264,036,416
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On May 5, 2011, Findex entered into a Software Product Line Purchase Agreement with WORDsearch Corp., L.L.C. In accordance with the Software Product Line Purchase Agreement, WORDsearch agreed to acquire from Findex all of the assets associated with the QuickVerse® product line which centered around Findex’s industry-leading Bible-study software program. The specific assets conveyed include, among others, the underlying software source code, registered trade names, and existing product inventories. As a result, the Company has classified any associated liabilities as well as all expenses directly related to the QuickVerse® product line as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. See Note 14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-02, Leases. The standard requires all leases with lease terms over 12 months to be capitalized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet at the date of lease commencement. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating. This distinction will be relevant for the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments of ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. The amendments require a prospective approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests. The Company presently has no goodwill but acquires entities from time to time and is currently evaluating the impact this standard would have.
