NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
 
 
Note 1

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
Nature of Business

 
Christian Disposal LLC and its affiliates (the “Company”) provide waste management services, including collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services. The Company’s customers include residential, commercial and municipal customers in the St. Louis area and surrounding counties.

 
Principles of Consolidation

 
The consolidated financial statements consist of the accounts of Christian Disposal LLC., consolidated with the results of FWCD, LLC (“FWCD”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

 
On January 31, 2013 an Operating Agreement for Hwy 79 became effective between FWCD, as its sole Member and Manager.

 
Basis of Presentation

 
The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in ASC 115, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as the sole source of authoritative U.S. generally, accepted accounting principles.

 
Concentration of credit risk

 
The Company generates accounts receivable in the normal course of business and grants credit to customers and does not require collateral to secure accounts receivable.

 
Cash

 
The Company maintains cash accounts, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.

 
Accounts receivable

 
Accounts receivable are recorded at management’s estimate of net realizable value. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical customer trends, type of customer, such as municipal or commercial, the age of the outstanding receivables and existing economic conditions. Accounts are written off when all collection efforts have been exhausted.

 
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had balances of approximately $1,153,000 and $1,105,000 of net receivables, respectively.

CHRISTIAN DISPOSAL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 
Note 1
-
Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 
Property, plant and equipment

 
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Upon disposition, cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets of three to thirty-nine years.

Deferred revenue

 
Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers in advance of services performed.

Fair value of financial instruments

 
In accordance with ASC 820, financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenue are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
 
 
 
The Company has determined the fair value of notes payable through the use of significant other observable inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value based on current rates offered for debt with similar terms.
 
 
 
There were no triggering events that required fair value measurements of the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 
Long-lived assets

 
If facts and circumstances suggest that a long-lived asset may be impaired, the carrying value is reviewed. If this review indicates that the carrying value of the asset will not be recovered, as determined based on projected undiscounted cash flows related to the asset over its remaining life, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. There were no impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

 
Revenue recognition

 
The Company recognizes revenue from fees charged for waste collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling services. The fees charged are generally defined in service agreements and vary based on contract-specific terms such as frequency of service and general market factors influencing a municipality’s rates. The fees charged generally include fuel surcharges based on changes in market prices for fuel. Revenue is recognized as services are performed. Certain services are billed prior to performance, such as on a quarterly basis. These advance billings are included in deferred revenue and recognized as revenue in the period the service is provided.

Advertising costs

 
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $10,000 and $16,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
 
 
Income taxes

 
As a limited liability company, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income taxes. Rather, income taxes related to the Company’s operations are the responsibility of its member. As a single member limited liability company, the Company does not file separate income tax returns, rather all income and expense is reported on the member’s personal income tax return.

 
Use of estimates

 
The 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 certain reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

-
Beck-Tel Asset Purchase Agreement

 
On August 30, 2013, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Beck-Tel Trash Service. On September 25, 2013, the Company executed an additional Asset Purchase Agreement for certain containers and trucks for $36,000. The purchase was made to geographically expand the Company’s market.

 
The Company accounted for the acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations". The Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and Beck-Tel is the acquired Company.

Note 3
-
Impairment of Intangible Assets

 
Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually. During 2013, the Company determined that, based on estimated future cash flows, the carrying amount of loan origination fees, which exceeds its fair value by approximately $6,000; accordingly, an impairment loss of that amount was recognized and is included in impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

 
Note 4
-
Impairment of Goodwill

 
Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units and is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit's carrying amount is greater than its fair value. During 2013, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded its fair value, which was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash inflows. Accordingly, a goodwill impairment loss of approximately $1,397,000 was recognized and is included in impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the Statement of Operations.
