Use of Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. However, because of the Company's net losses, the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, is excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of such shares excluded from the computation of loss per share totaled 7,763,730 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 7,585,848 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Stock Compensation

 

Stock Compensation


The Company adopted FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005, recognizing the amortized grant date fair value in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 718 on straight line basis over the service periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience. Stock option compensation expense for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 have been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC 505 Equity, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.

 

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Production costs, consisting of labor and overhead, are applied to ending inventories at a rate based on estimated production capacity and any excess production costs are charged to cost of products sold. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.


Inventories consisted of the following at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property


Intellectual property consists of patents and pending patent applications, and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Patent costs are amortized over the life of the patent, which is generally 20 years from the date of the application. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 the Company capitalized $54,742 of costs associated with patents and patent applications that are estimated to have a future value upon approval. Amortization of these costs will commence upon approval, or will be expensed immediately if the patent is not approved.

Deferred Financing Costs


Deferred Financing Costs


The Company capitalizes financing costs and amortizes them using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the related debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.


Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.


Product Warranty Costs


Product Warranty Costs


As required by FASB ASC 460, Guarantor's Guarantees, the Company is including the following disclosure applicable to its product warranties.


The Company accrues for warranty costs based on the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty replacement products. The methodology used in determining the liability for warranty cost is based upon historical information and experience. The Company's warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. As of September 30, 2012, management estimates the existing warranty reserve balances were sufficient to absorb any warranty costs that might be incurred from the sales activity for the period.

 

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income


FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes rules for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the sum of net loss as reported in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income transactions. Other comprehensive income transactions that currently apply to the Company result from changes in exchange rates used in translating the financial statements of its wholly owned subsidiary, Ltd. Comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 is not shown net of taxes because the Company's deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. There was no comprehensive income or loss attributable to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as Ltd's business license was surrendered with the British authorities in January, 2012 and all accounts were closed. Upon surrender of Ltd's license, foreign currency translation adjustments in the amount of $146,255 were realized in current loss and accordingly a reclassification adjustment was made to comprehensive income to remove the realized transaction.


Reclassifications

Reclassifications


Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's net loss or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In July 2012, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. After assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired, entities must perform the quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test becomes optional. The amended guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted.


In 2012 we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2011-05) that requires presentation of all non-owner changes in equity in one continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We elected to provide a separate statement of comprehensive income for all periods presented. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) or when an OCI item must be reclassified to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not affect our condensed consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


ASU 2011-05 was modified in December 2011 by the issuance of ASU 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05." This update indefinitely defers certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the disclosure of the amount of reclassifications of items from OCI to net income by component of net income and by component of OCI.
