INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT

To Management

The Best One, Inc.

2650 N. Military Trail

Suite 300

Boca Raton, Florida 33431

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of The Best One, Inc. as of September 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through September 30, 2014. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of Company management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.

Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The Company was formed as a corporation on September 22, 2014 in the State of Florida. On October 2, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Interactive Data”).

Business Description

The Company was formed as a holding company to acquire valuable and proprietary technology assets across a broad range of industries. Such assets are utilized to provide services including analytics, marketing and risk mitigation solutions.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market and various deposit accounts.

Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily at one financial institution, and at times the balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s cash balances exceeded the insurance limits by $1,987,500.

Revenue Recognition

The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are affected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change. Consequently, the revenue recognition accounting rules require management to make significant judgments.

The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or a service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

From September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014, the Company had no revenue and had no customers.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Intangibles

Generally, intangible assets acquired are stated at their historic cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with determinable finite useful lives, which includes software and website development, on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years for the assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no property and equipment. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Management assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

From inception September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

From September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014, the Company operated at a loss creating a deferred tax asset in the amount $16,254. The Company had no accrued tax liability as of September 30, 2014. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and

administrative expense. There were no material income tax interest or penalties for the period from September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014. There are no open federal or state income tax years under audit. All of the Company’s income tax filings since inception remain open for tax examinations.

Research and Development

In accordance with GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development activities consist of development of new or enhanced products or services. The Company has determined that there were no research and development activities for the period from September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014.

Advertising

Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred. The Company had no Advertising expenses for the period from September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

 

    Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

    Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

Cash, and all other current assets and liabilities, are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not identified any recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company’s Board has the authority to determine the voting powers, designations, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred shares.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax effects of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Opinion

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Interactive Data, LLC as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The Company was formed as a limited liability company on October 3, 2001 in the State of Georgia. On October 2, 2014, The Best One, Inc., a Florida corporation (“TBO”) acquired 100% of the membership interests of the Company.

Business Description

Historically, the Company has provided data solutions and services to the Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) industry for location and identity verification, legislative compliance and debt recovery. The Company is now targeting the entirety of the risk management market, including expansion into FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulated data, and non-regulated data. Transforming the way organizations use their data, the Company’s next generation supercomputer technology and proprietary linking and assessment algorithms solves complex, large scale data problems for its customers.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market and various deposit accounts.

Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily at one financial institution, and at times the balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s cash balances did not exceed insurance limits.

Management reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. As at and for the year ended December 31, 2013 there were no individual customers with a balance in excess of 10% of the accounts receivable and there were no customers in excess of 10% of net sales.

Concentration of Vendors

The Company uses data acquired through licensing rights from approximately 12 providers. The loss of any one of these providers could have an immediate near-term impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are affected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change. Consequently, the revenue recognition accounting rules require management to make significant judgments.

The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or a service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue is generally recognized on (a) a transactional basis determined by the customers’ usage, (b) a monthly fee or (c) a combination of both.

Revenues pursuant to contracts containing a monthly fee are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, which is generally 1 year. Revenues pursuant to transactions determined by the customers’ usage are recognized when the transaction is complete. Costs associated with separately priced customer service contracts are generally recognized as follows: (a) costs are expensed as incurred; and (b) losses are recognized on contracts where the expected future costs exceed expected future revenue. No such loss contracts exist at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred revenue totaled $178,557 and $149,207, respectively, all of which is expected to be realized in 2014.

The Company sells its products, generally on credit, to a limited number of customers. Each of these customers is considered significant, however, no single customer accounts for more than 3% of revenues. Management determines whether an allowance needs to be provided for an amount due from a customer depending on the aging of the individual balances receivable, recent payment history, contractual terms and other qualitative factors such as status of business relationship with the customer. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, based on management’s assessment, an allowance in the amount of $55,132 and $47,395 respectively for uncollectible accounts receivable was recorded.

An adverse change in the status of one customer could materially affect the Company’s estimate of its bad debts. Accounts receivable are written off in the fiscal year when all legal collection procedures have been exhausted. The Company wrote off no accounts receivable to bad debt expense in 2013 and 2012 respectively.

Intangibles

Generally, intangible assets acquired are stated at their historic cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with determinable finite useful lives, which includes software and website development, on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years for the assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Management assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company assesses its income tax positions based on management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company uses a more likely than not threshold when making its assessment as to financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position. For the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012 a provision of $260,031 and a benefit of $138,905, respectively, were recognized for income taxes. Prior to November 2012, the Company was taxed as a subchapter S corporation under existing Internal Revenue Service regulations with its taxable income taxed directly to its members (and losses distributed to its members). Any state minimum or franchise taxes due are generally expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense. There were no material income tax interest or penalties for the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012. There are no open federal or state income tax years under audit. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010 or Georgia state income tax examination by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010. The Company is not currently involved in any income tax examinations.

Research and Development

In accordance with GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development activities consist of development of new or enhanced products or services. The Company has determined that there were no research and development activities in 2013 and 2012.

Advertising

Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $142,028 and $150,216, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

 

Level 1 –

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 –

Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 –

Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

Cash, and all other current assets and liabilities, are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not identified any recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 6 – TLO, LLC, PURCHASE AND SUBSEQUENT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (continued)

Settlement Agreement

On September 23, 2013, the former owners of the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with TLO by which TLO conveyed 100% of the membership interest of the Company back to the former owners. This conveyance of ownership interest included all assets of the Company, including, but not limited to, all the intellectual property (including, but no limited to, inventories, patents, and trademarks), systems, marketing materials, E-mail addresses, URLs, customers, customer lists, and markings owned, held, possessed, or created as of September 23, 2013. Notwithstanding, any cash balance greater than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) as reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 23, 2013, would be distributed to TLO.

Accounting treatment

Subsequent to the acquisition and until the settlement with TLO, the Company operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary maintaining its own books and records separate and apart from TLO. There were no material changes to and no recognition of gain or loss on the financial statements as a result of the sale of membership interests to or conveyance of membership interests back from TLO.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due to/from Related Parties

From November of 2012 through September 2013, TLO owned 100% of the membership interests of the Company. From time to time during the period, the Company and TLO would make and receive advances based on expenses paid on behalf of the other party (e.g., the Company’s employees were paid directly by TLO with costs allocated back down to the Company). These advances did not bear interest, were unsecured, and were due on demand. The net amount due from TLO totaled $0 at December 31, 2013, and the net amount due to TLO totaled $210,088 at December 31, 2012.

From October 2013 through October 2014, WHP Solutions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“WHP”), owned 60% of the membership interest of the Company. From time to time during the period, the Company and WHP would make and receive advances based on expenses paid on behalf of the other party.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after December 31, 2013 through January 9, 2015, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued, for disclosure. The following matters have occurred through January 9, 2015.

Sale of 100% Membership Interest to TBO

On October 2, 2014, TBO acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data through a Securities Purchase Agreement between TBO, John O. Schaeffer (“Schaeffer”) and WHP Solutions, LLC (“WHP”). The aggregate purchase price for the securities purchased consisted of $5,760,000 in cash and 100 shares of TBO preferred stock, which have since converted into 1,422,222 shares of TBO common stock. The stock consideration was paid entirely to Schaeffer, founder of Interactive Data and 40% interest holder at the time of the acquisition, who also received $1.92 million of the cash consideration, with the remainder being paid to WHP. The purchase price was subject to adjustment to the extent working capital as of the closing was greater than or less than $0. As a result of the post-closing adjustment, an additional $508,767 in cash was paid to Schaeffer and WHP with an additional $51,594 due upon the earlier of TBO’s realization of prepaid tax credit or September 30, 2015. In addition, TBO entered into a two year employment agreement with Schaeffer, effective as of the closing date, with Schaeffer to serve as a Senior Executive of TBO and General Manager of Interactive Data.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The Company was formed as a limited liability company on October 3, 2001 in the State of Georgia. On October 2, 2014, The Best One, Inc., a Florida corporation (“TBO”) acquired 100% of the membership interests of the Company.

Business Description

Historically, the Company has provided data solutions and services to the Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) industry for location and identity verification, legislative compliance and debt recovery. The Company is now targeting the entirety of the risk management market, including expansion into FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulated data, and non-regulated data. Transforming the way organizations use their data, the Company’s next generation supercomputer technology and proprietary linking and assessment algorithms solves complex, large scale data problems for its customers.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market and various deposit accounts. .

Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily at one financial institution, and at times the balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s cash balances exceeded the insurance limits by $391,402.

Management reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. As at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 there were no individual customers with a balance in excess of 10% of the accounts receivable and there were no customers in excess of 10% of net sales.

Concentration of Vendors

The Company uses data acquired through licensing rights from approximately 12 providers. The loss of any one of these providers could have an immediate near-term impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

See accompanying independent accountant’s review report.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are affected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change. Consequently, the revenue recognition accounting rules require management to make significant judgments.

The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or a service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue is generally recognized on (a) a transactional basis determined by the customers’ usage, (b) a monthly fee or (c) a combination of both.

Revenues pursuant to contracts containing a monthly fee are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, which is generally 1 year. Revenues pursuant to transactions determined by the customers’ usage are recognized when the transaction is complete. Costs associated with separately priced customer service contracts are generally recognized as follows: (a) costs are expensed as incurred; and (b) losses are recognized on contracts where the expected future costs exceed expected future revenue. No such loss contracts exist at September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, deferred revenue totaled $140,535 all of which is expected to be realized in the remainder of 2014 and 2015.

The Company sells its products, generally on credit, to a limited number of customers. Each of these customers is considered significant, however, no single customer accounts for more than 3% of revenues. Management determines whether an allowance needs to be provided for an amount due from a customer depending on the aging of the individual balances receivable, recent payment history, contractual terms and other qualitative factors such as status of business relationship with the customer. At September 30, 2014, based on management’s assessment, an allowance in the amount of $81,109 for uncollectible accounts receivable was recorded.

An adverse change in the status of one customer could materially affect the Company’s estimate of its bad debts. Accounts receivable are written off in the fiscal year when all legal collection procedures have been exhausted. The Company wrote off no accounts receivable to bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Intangibles

Generally, intangible assets acquired are stated at their historic cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with determinable finite useful lives, which includes software and website development, on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years for the assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The Company accounts for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Management assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company assesses its income tax positions based on management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company uses a more likely than not threshold when making its assessment as to financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $149,539 was recognized for income taxes. Prior to November 2012, the Company was taxed as a subchapter S corporation under existing Internal Revenue Service regulations with its taxable income taxed directly to its members (and losses distributed to its members). Any state minimum or franchise taxes due are generally expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense. There were no material income tax interest or penalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There are no open federal or state income tax years under audit. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010 or Georgia state income tax examination by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010. The Company is not currently involved in any income tax examinations.

Research and Development

In accordance with GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development activities consist of development of new or enhanced products or services. The Company has determined that there were no research and development activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Advertising

Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $110,718.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

 

    Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

    Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

Cash, and all other current assets and liabilities, are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not identified any recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
