Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Going concern

Going concern

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $69.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 the Company earned revenue of approximately $0.5 million and incurred a loss from operations of approximately $2.5 million.

The reports of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s current shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable or be able to secure funding or generate sufficient revenues to sustain operations. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 because their effect was antidilutive:

Security	2018		2017
Stock Options		107,958,331		106,050,000
Warrants		45,964,543		47,538,697
Total		153,922,874		153,588,669

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories of kiosks held by IDGS S.A.S are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. The kiosks provide electronic ticketing for transit systems. Inventory of plastic/ID cards, digital printing material, which are held by Cards Plus Pty Ltd., are at the lower of cost (using the average method) or market. The Plastic/ID cards and digital printing material are used to provide plastic loyal ID and other types of cards. Inventories at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consist of kiosks that were not placed into service and are held for sale and cards inventory.

Leases

Leases

All leases are classified at the inception as direct finance leases or operating leases based on whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Leases that transfer to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset are classified as direct finance leases.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASU Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 605”), and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, which discusses the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, including the period of amortization of such costs. Collectively, we refer to Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the “new standard.” The new standard was adopted by the Company in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which the new standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the new standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which the cumulative effect of applying the new standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. Based on our assessment, the impact of the new standard on our operations in prior periods is not significant. The following is the Company’s revenue recognition policy determined by revenue stream for its significant revenue generating activities through March 31, 2018.

Cards Plus - The Company recognizes revenue for the design and production of cards when products are shipped or a services have been performed due to the short term nature of the contracts.

Payment Processing – The Company recognizes revenue for variable fees generated for payment processing solutions that are earned on a usage fee bas over time based on monthly transaction volumes. Additionally, the Company also sells certain equipment from time to time for which revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer.

Identity Solutions Software – The Company recognizes revenue based on the identified performance obligations over the performance period for fixed consideration and for variable fees generated that are earned on a usage fee based over time based on monthly transaction volumes or on a monthly flat fee rate. The Company had a deferred revenue contract liability of approximately $539,000 and $123,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 for certain revenue that will be earned in future periods. The $123,000 of deferred revenue contract liability as of December 31, 2017 was earned in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

In 2018, the Company introduced its new transaction platform and products as well as its pay for performance plan for both internal and external salesforce, which is based on a percentage of revenues received by the Company. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, no revenues associated with these new platforms were recognized or required to be recognized as the services have not yet commenced. The requirements under the new standard will impact future revenue and expenses recognition. The primary impact on accounting for expenses of adopting the new standard, relates to the capitalization and deferral of incremental commission and other costs of obtaining new contracts. We will defer direct and incremental commission as well as costs to obtain a contract and amortize those costs over the term of the related contract. As of March 31, 2018, there was no deferred commissions.

We will review each new contract for the related performance obligations and related revenue and expense recognition implications. We expect that the revenues derived from the new identity services could include multiple performance obligations. A performance obligation under the new revenue standard is defined as a promise to provide a “distinct” good or service to a customer. The Company has determined that one possible treatment under the new standard is that these services will represent a stand-ready series of distinct daily services that are substantially the same, with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Further, the Company has determined that the performance obligation to provide account access and facilitate transactions may meet the criteria for the “as invoiced” practical expedient, in that the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. As a result, the Company anticipates it may recognize revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, based on completed performance at the relevant date. Additionally, the contracts could include implementation services, or support on an “as needed” basis and we will review each contract and determine whether such performance obligations are separate and distinct and apply the new standard accordingly to the revenue and expense derived from or related to each such service. A more complete analysis of the impact of the standard on these contracts will be performed during the three months ended June 30, 2018 which is the period of time when services are expected to commence and the conclusions reached by management may be different from those described above. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, no revenues were recognized or required to be recognized under this practical expedient.

Additionally, the Company will capitalize the incremental costs of acquiring and fulfilling a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs of acquiring and fulfilling a contract are those that the Company incurs to acquire and fulfill a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been acquired (for example, a sales commission or specific incremental costs associated with the contract).

The Company capitalizes the costs incurred to acquire and fulfill a contract only if those costs meet all the following criteria:

a. The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify.

b. The costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.

c. The costs are expected to be recovered.

The Company will capitalize contract acquisition and fulfillment costs related to signing or renewing contracts that meet the above criteria, which will be classified as contract cost assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract cost assets will be amortized using the straight-line method over the expected period of benefit beginning at the time revenue begins to be realized. The amortization of contract fulfillment cost assets associated with facilitating transactions will be recorded as cost of services in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization of contract acquisition cost assets associated with sales commissions that qualify for capitalization will be recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had deferred contract costs, represented by contract cost assets of approximately $206,000 which are included in other currents assets for certain costs incurred for the future delivery of election support services. The performance obligation should principally be met in the second quarter of 2018 when most of the costs are expected to be expensed and the associated revenue recognized for the related performance obligation.

Revenue related to direct financing leases is outside the scope of Topic 606 and is recognized over the term of the lease using the effective interest method.
