SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Method The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Electromedical Technologies, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, certain disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information. However, actual results from the resolution of such estimates and assumptions may vary from those used in the preparation of the financial statements. Going Concern Since inception, the Company has incurred approximately $19.3 million of accumulated net losses. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used $415,765 in operations, and as of June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,361,177. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to obtain funding through additional debt and equity placement offerings until it consistently achieves positive cash flows from operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, it may not be able to meet all of its obligations as they come due for the next 12 months. The continuing viability of the entity and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the entity being successful in its continuing efforts in growing its revenue base and/or accessing additional sources of capital, and/or selling assets. As a result, there is significant uncertainty whether the Company will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern. At this time, management is of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realized for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the financial statements as of June 30, 2022. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of promised goods to the Company’s customers. Control transfers upon shipment of product and when the title has been passed to the customers. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities, allowance for estimated returns, chargebacks, and markdowns based upon management’s estimates and the Company’s historical experience. The Company’s liability for sales return refunds is recognized within other current liabilities, and an asset for the value of inventory which is expected to be returned is recognized within other current assets on the balance sheets. The Company generally allows a 30 day right of return to its customers. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the sales returns allowance was $6,990. Certain larger customers pay in advance for future shipments. These advance payments totaled $90,850 and $0 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are recorded as customer deposits in the accompanying balance sheets. Revenue related to these advance payments is recognized upon shipment to the distributor or the end-customer. At the completion of the initial three-year warranty, the Company sells extended warranties for periods ranging from to three years. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, deferred revenue of $27,028 and $28,252, respectively, is recorded in connection with these extended warranties.Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances that can, at times, exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The Company’s accounts receivable, which are unsecured, expose the Company to credit risks such as collectability and business risks such as customer concentrations. The Company mitigates credit risk by investigating the creditworthiness of all customers prior to establishing relationships with them, performing periodic review of the credit activities of those customers during the course of the business relationship, regularly analyzing the collectability of accounts receivables, and recording allowances for doubtful accounts when these receivables become uncollectible. The Company mitigates business risks by attempting to diversify its customer base. Significant customer sales greater than 10% as a percentage of total sales are as follows:
Amounts due these customers totaled $27,318 and $13,300 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively for commissions and reimbursements. Amounts due from these customers totaled $3,250 and $4,575 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Customer deposits on hand from these customers totaled $90,850 and $0 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The loss of these customers would have a significant impact on the operations and cash flows of the Company. The Company’s supplier concentrations expose the Company to business risks, which the Company mitigates by attempting to diversify its supply chain. Significant supplier purchases as a percentage of total inventory purchases are as follows:
There were no amounts outstanding due these suppliers at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The loss of key vendors may have a significant impact on the operations and cash flows of the Company. The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is often required to interpret market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined based on the first-in, first-out cost flow assumption (“FIFO”) while market is determined based upon the estimated net realizable value less an allowance for selling and distribution expenses and a normal gross profit. The Company evaluates the need for inventory reserves associated with obsolete, slow moving, and non-sellable inventory by reviewing estimated net realizable values on a periodic basis. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company believes there are no excess and obsolete inventories and accordingly, did not record an inventory reserve. Inventories consist of purchased finished goods. Sales Taxes FASB ASC Subtopic 605-45, Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations, provides that the presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions (e.g. sales, use, and excise taxes) between a seller and a customer on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should be disclosed in the financial statements for each period for which a statement of operations is presented if those amounts are significant. Sales taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were recorded on a net basis. Included in accrued expenses at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is approximately $61,000 related to sales taxes. Warranty The Company warranties the sale of most of its products and records an accrual for estimated future claims. The standard warranty is typically for a period of three years. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. The Company recorded a liability as of June 30, 2022 and December 31,2021 of $13,646 and $14,828, respectively. The expense is included in cost of sales in the statements of operations and within accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets. Net Loss per Share Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each period. Conversion of outstanding warrants, stock options and convertible promissory notes at June 30, 2022 may result in an estimated 61.3 million additional shares of common stock outstanding. COVID-19 On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. COVID-19, and actions taken to mitigate it, have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company, COVID-19 has had an adverse effect on our business, including our supply chains and distribution systems. While we are taking diligent steps to mitigate disruptions to our supply chain, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of these impacts at this time to our future financial condition and results of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt —Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). This update simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and for convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. Additionally, this update amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The treasury stock method is no longer available. Entities may adopt the requirements of ASU 2020-06 using either a full or modified retrospective approach, and it is effective for public businesses, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method of transition, which resulted in an increase in convertible promissory notes of $379,355, a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $1,013,414 and an increase to retained earnings of $634,059 as of January 1, 2022. See Note 4. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for capital and operating leases existing at the date of adoption, with certain practical expedients available. The accounting guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2022, has been adopted with no significant financial statement impact. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures. |
