Basis of Presentation, Going Concern and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

For further information, refer to Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated's (the "Company") financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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 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 5,941,455 and 7,763,730 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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 March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 have been recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

	March 31 2014			December 31, 2013
	(unaudited)
Raw materials	$	977,605		$	953,575
Work In Progress		276			5,988
Finished goods		89,809			98,757
Valuation allowance		(464,537	)		(464,537	)
Inventory, net	$	603,153		$	593,783

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 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 financial statements and is calculated as the gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, there was no change to the reserve for warranty liability as the reserve balance was deemed sufficient to absorb any warranty costs that might be incurred from the sales activity for the period.

The following table shows the changes in the aggregate product warranty liability for the three-months ended March 31, 2014:

Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	20,000
Less: Payments made		-
Add: Provision for current period warranties		-
Balance as of March 31, 2014 (unaudited)	$	20,000
