SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Nature of Business

In March 2019, Applied UV, Inc. (the "Company") was formed and incorporated in the State of Delaware for the intended purpose of creating a legal holding company structure for SteriLumen, Inc. and Munn Works, LLC and any future potential mergers or acquisitions. The then-existing shareholders and members of SteriLumen, Inc. and Munn Works, LLC exchanged all of their interest for shares of Applied UV, Inc. with substantially similar economic voting interests for each shareholder immediately before and after the share exchange. As a result of the share exchange, SteriLumen, Inc. and Munn Works, LLC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Applied UV, Inc and, collectively referred to as (the "Company"). The combination met the criteria outlined in ASC 850 to be accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and therefore the financial statements are being presented as if the transfer happened at the beginning of the period and prior year financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.

SteriLumen, Inc. is engaged in the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of automated disinfecting mirror systems for use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The Company was incorporated in the State of New York in November of 2012 and is headquartered in Mount Vernon, New York. Munn Works, LLC is engaged in the manufacture of fine mirrors specifically for the hospitality industry.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed of the Company for the annual period ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year then ended. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied UV, Inc., Munn Works, LLC and SteriLumen, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenue and Cost Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method for all customer contracts not yet completed as of the adoption date. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations in the client contract has been achieved. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services.

To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:

1) Identify the contract with a customer

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company promises to design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors through contractual arrangements. It was determined that most services within a contract are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over the term of the agreement and are therefore highly interdependent upon each other. As such, the Company determined that the services within a contract are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract and should therefore be bundled into a single performance obligation.

3) Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. We evaluate whether a significant financing component exists when we recognize revenue in advance of customer payments that occur over time. We do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of financing if, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of control to a customer and final payment is expected to be one year or less. The Company establishes pricing for contracts with customers based on a fixed price for a fixed fee. Contracts do not provide for a discount or refund to customers and historically, no discounts or refunds have been given.

4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on management’s judgment. The identified promises are considered to be bundled in arriving at the overall promise within the contract. This promise therefore results in one performance obligation, to design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors to our customer, therefore, allocation of the transaction price is not necessary.

5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

Revenue is comprised of projects that are completed within our own facility or from a third-party vendor (direct sales). For projects that are completed within our own facility, the Company satisfies performance obligations at over time. For projects that are completed from a third-party vendor, the performance obligation is recognized at a point in time.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total deferred revenue was $746,936 and $1,245,300. As of September 30, 2020, deferred revenue was comprised of work generated from our own Mount Vernon facility of $437,552 and work performed at the third party manufacturer of $309,384. At January 1, 2020, deferred revenue was $1,245,300 which the entire amount was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, deferred revenue was comprised of work generated from our own Mount Vernon facility of $844,331, work performed at the third party manufacturer of $363,940 and billings made upfront of $37,029.

For projects, that are completed within our own facility, we design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors for hotels and hospitals through contractual agreements. These sales require us to deliver our products within three to six months from commencement of order acceptance. We recognize revenue over time by using the input method based on costs incurred as it depicts our progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work in process as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost based input methods of revenue recognition require us to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, we recognize the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated. Deferred Revenue represents amounts billed in excess of revenues and profits recognized. Total deferred revenue from the input method of accounting was $368,007 and $844,331 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Revenues and profits recognized in excess of amounts billed typically does not occur as we will not perform any work in excess of the amount we bill to our customers.

Each product or service delivered to a third-party customer that is manufactured by a third-party vendor is considered to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. These sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without our taking physical inventory possession. We report direct sales on a gross basis, that is, the amounts billed to our customers are recorded as "Sales," and inventory purchased from manufacturers are recorded as Cost of Sales. We are the principal of direct sales because we control the inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by us being primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to our customers, taking on inventory risk of returned product, and having discretion in establishing pricing. We typically pay our vendors a portion of the total cost up front and the remaining balance is accrued for and paid within 30 to 60 days of when the products are shipped from the third-party warehouse. Vendor payments are capitalized until completion of the project and are recorded as vendor deposits. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the vendor deposit balance was $146,278 and $104,517, respectively.

Losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Deferred revenue from these projects as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $378,929 and $363,942, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no losses charged to expense.

There are times that we bill upfront where no work is performed until 30 to 60 days after the deposit is received from our customer. Accordingly, no revenue is recognized and the amounts are deferred. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred revenue balances related to these invoices were $- and $37,029, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company generated revenues of $2,981,651 at a point in time and $1,511,410 over time. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated revenues of $4,472,038 at a point in time and $1,907,221 over time.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

Share based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award using a Black Scholes option pricing model for options with service or performance-based conditions. Stock based compensation cost is recognized as expense, over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis for service-based awards. The Black-Scholes model incorporate several variables, including expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate. We estimate the expected term of the options granted based on anticipated exercises in future periods based on historical activity. The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield reflects our current and expected future policy for dividends on our common stock. To determine the risk-free interest rate, we utilize the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of our awards. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use, or ROU, assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach did not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities for all our lease agreements with original terms of greater than one year. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a significant impact on our statements of income or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements related to fair value disclosures. Disclosures related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels will be removed and further detail around changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs used in determining level 3 fair value measurements will be added, among other changes. ASU 2018‑13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The new credit losses model must be applied to loans, accounts receivable, and other financial assets. ASU 2016‑13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We currently believe that all other issued and not yet effective accounting standards are not relevant to our financial statements.
