NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

 

The interim financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements, notes and accounting policies included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 2011 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim period presented have been made. The results of operations, for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenues that are generated from sales of equipment are typically recognized upon shipment, which is when the title passes to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from the short term rental of equipment ratably over the life of the agreement, which is usually three to nine months. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company recognized $10,500 of revenue related to short term rental of equipment.

 

Fair Value of Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their relatively short-term nature.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances with various financial institutions. Balances at these institutions may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporate limits.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the provision for doubtful accounts was $270,000 and $0, respectively.

Inventory

 

Inventory, which primarily consists of finish goods and components used in the Company’s products, is stated at the lower of cost of market using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method.

 

Inventory may include units being rented on a short term basis or components held by third parties in connection with pilot programs as part of the continuing evaluation by such third parties as to the effectiveness and usefulness of the service to be incorporated into their respective operations. The third parties do not have a contractual obligation to purchase the equipment. The Company maintains the title and risk of loss. Therefore, these units are included in the inventory of the Company. As of September 30, 2011, there were no such components held by third parties.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of the assets (5-10 years). Gains and losses recognized from the sales or disposal of assets is the difference between the sales price and the recorded cost less accumulated depreciation less costs of disposal.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share has been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The warrants and stock options have been excluded from the calculation since they would be anti-dilutive.

 

Such equity instruments may have a dilutive effect in the future and include the following potential common shares:

 

     Warrants   2,424,982 
   Stock options   9,250,000 
    11,674,982 



Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company and its subsidiary file separate federal tax returns. Certain tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and certain state taxing authorities. The Company does not believe there would be any material adjustment upon such examination.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development costs, which includes travel expenses, consulting fees, subcontractors and salaries are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and others based on the fair values of the shares on the date of the grant.  Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of our common stock. Stock-based compensation is amortized over the service period.
