Organization and summary of significant accounting policies |
a) Organization
Lattice Incorporated (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware May 1973 and commenced operations in July 1977. The Company began as a provider of specialized solutions to the telecom industry. Throughout its history, Lattice has adapted to the changes in this industry by reinventing itself to be more responsive and open to the dynamic pace of change experienced in the broader converged communications industry of today. Currently, Lattice provides advanced solutions for several vertical markets. The greatest change in operations is in the shift from being a component manufacturer to a solution provider focused on developing applications through software on its core platform technology. To further its strategy of becoming a solutions provider, the Company acquired a majority interest in SMEI in February 2005. In September 2006, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Lattice Government Services, Inc., (LGS) (formerly Ricciardi Technologies Inc. (RTI)). LGS was founded in 1992 and provides software consulting and development services for the command and control of biological sensors and other Department of Defense requirements to United States federal governmental agencies either directly or through prime contractors of such governmental agencies. LGSs proprietary products include SensorView, which provides clients with the capability to command, control and monitor multiple distributed chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive and hazardous material sensors. In December 2009, we changed RTIs name to Lattice Government Services Inc. In January 2007, we changed our name from Science Dynamics Corporation to Lattice Incorporated. On May 16, 2011, we acquired 100% of the shares of Cummings Creek Capital, a holding company which owned 100% of the shares of CLR Group Limited. (CLR), a government contractor. Together, the SMEI, RTI and CLR acquisitions formed our federal government services business unit, Lattice Government Services (LGS). Through 2012 we operated in two segments, our federal government services unit and our telecommunication services business.
As part of the Companys strategy to focus on its higher growth potential communications business, the Company decided during the first quarter of 2013 to exit the Government services segment, which derived its revenues mainly from contracts with federal government Department of Defense agencies either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to another prime contractor. On April 2, 2013, we entered an Asset Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Blackwatch International, Inc. (Blackwatch), a Virginia corporation, pursuant to which we sold the assets of LGS for approximately $1.2 million. These assets essentially comprised our federal government services segment operations. The Company retained certain assets and liabilities of LGS. The residual assets includes approximately $700,000 in incurred cost claims relative to cost recoverable type contract vehicles.
On November 1, 2013, the Company purchased certain assets of Innovisit, LLC. The acquired assets mainly included: awarded contracts, customer lists, and its intellectual property rights to video visitation software assets. Under the agreement, the workforce and operating infrastructure supporting Innovisits business operations have been transferred to Lattice, including but not limited to certain employees, and leases. This acquisition complemented the product offering of our telecom services business.
In 2013, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Lattice Communications Inc., to enable us to operate in Canada. During 2014, we started operating a call center and collecting fee income for processing prepaid deposits for a large Canadian telecom provider which operates Lattice technology systems to provide call provisioning services to correctional facilities located in Canada.
b) Basis of Presentation Going Concern
At December 31, 2015, our working capital deficiency was approximately $6,943,000 compared to a working capital deficiency of approximately $4,360,000 at December 31, 2014. Cash from operations and available capacity on current credit facilities are insufficient to cover liabilities currently due and the liabilities which will mature over the next twelve months. Additionally, we are extended beyond terms on payables with trade creditors. We have several payment arrangements in place but face continuing pressure with trade creditors regarding overdue payables. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon our ability to improve our operating cash flow, maintain our credit lines and secure additional capital. Management has estimated that the Company will need alternative financing in the range of $4.0 to $5.0 million to support its liquidity needs over the next twelve months. In that regard, management is currently engaged in capital raising activities to adequately capitalize the Company. There is no assurance, however, that we will succeed in raising the additional financing needed to provide for all of our liquidity needs. In the event we fail to obtain the additional capital needed and/or restructure our existing debts with current creditors, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys consolidated financial position and operating results.
c) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
d) Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to impairment of goodwill and equity investments, revenue recognition, recoverability of inventory and receivables, the useful lives, long-lived assets such as property and equipment, the future realization of deferred income tax benefits and the recording of various accruals. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
e) Fair Value Disclosures
Management believes that the carrying values of financial instruments, including, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value as a result of the short-term maturities of these instruments. As discussed in Note 1(m), derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value.
The carrying values of the Companys long-term debts approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rates and terms of such debt to the rates and terms of debt currently available to the Company.
f) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains its cash balances with various financial institutions. Balance at various times during the year may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
g) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
h) Income Taxes
We account for uncertain tax positions using a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as we have to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We re-evaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. We did not recognize any additional tax benefit or additional charges to our tax provision during 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has no liability related to uncertain tax positions.
The Companys 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the respective taxing authorities. In addition, net operating losses and research tax credits arising from prior years are also subject to examination at the time that they are utilized in future years. Neither the Companys federal or state tax returns are currently under examination.
i) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from product sales is recognized when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer.
Direct Call Provisioning Services:
Revenues related to collect and prepaid calling services generated by communication services are recognized during the period in which the calls are made. In addition, during the same period, the Company records the related telecommunication costs for validating, transmitting, billing and collection, and line and long distance charges, along with commissions payable to the facilities and allowances for uncollectible calls, based on historical experience.
Wholesaled Technology:
We sell telephony systems with embedded proprietary software to other service providers. We recognize revenue when the equipment is shipped to the customer.
Breakage:
In compliance with regulatory tariffs, we recognize as income prepaid deposits which have aged beyond six to nine months and the customer has not requested a refund of the unused deposit.
Prepaid Cards:
We also sell prepaid phone cards to end user facilities on a wholesale basis. We recognize revenue on prepaid phone cards when they are either shipped or emailed to customer end user facilities.
Software Maintenance:
We offer software maintenance and support contracts to customers who purchase our technology systems. These are unbundled and invoiced separately and revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.
Revenues Recognition for Construction Projects:
Revenues from construction contracts are included in contract revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and are recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method. The percent complete is measured by the cost incurred to date compared to the estimated total cost of each project. This method is used as management considers expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts, the majority of which are completed within one year, but may occasionally extend beyond one year. Inherent uncertainties in estimating costs make it at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term and over the life of the contracts.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which they are determined. An amount equal to contract costs incurred that are attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are comprised principally of revenue recognized on contracts (on the percentage-of-completion method) for which billings had not been presented to customers because the amount were not billable under the contract terms at the balance sheet date. Amounts are billed based on contractual terms. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent billings in excess of revenues recognized.
j) Share-Based Payments
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718-10, Accounting for Share-based payment, to account for compensation costs under its stock option plans and other share-based arrangements. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.
For purposes of estimating fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. At December 31, 2015, there was $224,354 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted under the equity compensation plans which do not include the effect of future grants of equity compensation, if any. This amount will be amortized over the remaining vesting periods of the grants.
k) Depreciation, Amortization and Long-Lived Assets:
Long-lived assets include:
Property, plant and equipment - These assets are recorded at original cost. The Company depreciates the cost evenly over the assets estimated useful lives. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws.
Identifiable intangible assets - The Company amortizes the cost of other intangibles over their useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; however, they are tested annually for impairment and written down to fair value as required.
At least annually, The Company reviews all long-lived assets for impairment. When necessary, charges are recorded for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets.
l) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the derivative liabilities amounted to $30,154 and $840,963. In accordance with the accounting standards the Company determined that the carrying value of these derivatives approximated the fair value using the level 3 inputs.
m) Derivative Financial Instruments and Registration Payment Arrangements
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into various types of financing arrangements to fund its business capital requirements, including convertible debt and other financial instruments indexed to the Company's own stock. These contracts require careful evaluation to determine whether derivative features embedded in host contracts require bifurcation and fair value measurement or, in the case of freestanding derivatives (principally warrants) whether certain conditions for equity classification have been achieved. In instances where derivative financial instruments require liability classification, the Company is required to initially and subsequently measure such instruments at fair value. Accordingly, the Company adjusts the fair value of these derivative components at each reporting period through a charge to income until such time as the instruments require classification in stockholders' equity (deficit). See Note 4 for additional information.
As previously stated, derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, management considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, the Company generally uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, dividend yield, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as embedded conversion options, the Company generally uses the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to fair value these more complex instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (loss) will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
n) Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10-50, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a companys management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company exited its government services business in April 2013 and is reporting the operating results of that unit as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial reports. Accordingly, the Company operates in one segment during the year ended December 31, 2015 (Telecom services).
o) Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share:
The Company calculates income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common share equivalents (which consist of convertible preferred stock, options and warrants) are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, and which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, totaled approximately 39 million shares and 69 million shares at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendments in this Update provide guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. On July 9th the effective date was delayed one year by a vote by the FASB. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans would apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application would be permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company has reviewed the applicable ASU and has not, at the current time, quantified the effects of this pronouncement, however it believes that there will be no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 (ASU 2015-03), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. An entity should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
We do not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period.

Accounts Receivable |
Note 2 - Accounts Receivable
The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on a customer-by-customer basis and has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $182,000 and $15,000 was necessary at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to its trade receivables.
The Company determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at December 31, 2015 related to its incurred cost claim receivables attributable to the Companys discontinued Federal government operations. These claims with Federal Dept. of Defense agencies relate to prior year contracts where costs have exceeded the customers funded value of the task ordered on our cost reimbursement type contract vehicles. Unapproved claims included as a component of our accounts receivable had a carrying value of approximately $1,244,000 before a reserve allowance of $500,000 as of December 31, 2015. These unapproved claims represent the additional costs recoverable on our cost recoverable type contract vehicles as supported by our actual incurred cost submissions or actual rate filings with the DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) compared to the provisional (budgetary) rates used for billing under these contracts. We have completed the audit of these claims pertaining to the periods 2005 to 2009 with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and have recalibrated the amounts using the settled or final DCAA approved rates. Based on the audited and approved rates, management valued the claims at approximately $744,000 and recorded a write-off of $500,000 at December 31, 2015. The $500,000 write-off is included as a component of other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Based on the delays encountered in finalizing the rate audits with DCAA and an uncertainty as to when the obligating agencies will allocate the required funding to process the claims for payment, we have classified the remaining $744,000 of these receivables as a long term asset in the Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015. |

Notes payable |
Notes payable consists of the following as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
On July 17, 2009, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lattice Government Services (formally RTI), entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the Action Agreement) with Action Capital Corporation (Action Capital).
Pursuant to the terms of the Action Agreement, Action Capital agreed to provide the Company with advances of up to 90% of the net amount of certain acceptable account receivables of the Company (the Acceptable Accounts). The maximum amount eligible to be advanced to the Company by Action Capital under the Action Agreement is $3,000,000. The Company is obligated to pay Action Capital interest on the advances outstanding under the Action Agreement equal to the prime rate in effect on the last business day of the prior month plus 1%. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a monthly fee to Action Capital equal to 0.75% of the total outstanding balance at the end of each month.
The outstanding balance owed on the line at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $0 and $0 respectively. If the credit facility is drawn upon, the interest rate would be 13.25%.
(b) Notes Payable to Shareholder/Former Director
There are two notes outstanding with a former director. The first note bears interest at 21.5% per annum. During December 2010, the note was amended to flat monthly payments of $6,000 until maturity, December 31, 2013, at which time any remaining interest and or principal was to be paid. This note had an outstanding balance of $24,048 as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company is in arrears on interest payments that were due but has accrued the interest costs on the note. The holder has not as of the date of this filing invoked his rights under the default provisions of the note related to the past due principal and interest payments.
The second note is dated October 14, 2011 had a face value of $168,000 of which the Company received $151,200 in net proceeds during October 2011. The discount of $16,800 was amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. The note carries an annual interest rate of 10% payable quarterly at the rate of $4,200 per quarter. The entire principal on the note of $168,000 was due at maturity on October 14, 2014. This note had an outstanding balance of $168,000 as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company is in arrears on interest payments that were due but has accrued the interest costs on the note. The holder has not as of the date of this filing invoked his rights under the default provisions of the note related to the past due principal and interest payments.

As of December 31, 2015, there was $781,655 of unpaid principal remaining on this note.

The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest method. The debt discount has been fully amortized as of December 31, 2015. We paid $363,200 of the principal balance on this note from the proceeds of the $908,000 convertible note closed May 2015. Because the principal was not paid in full by June 17, 2015, the Company was in default and was required to make monthly payments of $1,596 beginning July 17, 2015 at an annual interest rate of 14%.

Convertible Note With Derivative Conversion Feature
On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Security Agreement with Lattice Funding, LLC (Lender), a Pennsylvania limited liability company affiliated with Cantone Asset Management, LLC. The Company delivered a secured promissory note (the LF1 Note) in the principal sum of $1,500,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing on May 15, 2017. Interest on the LF1 Note is payable quarterly. Outstanding principal may be converted into restricted common stock. The Company also executed UCC financing statements, securing the LF1 Note with proceeds of certain agreements.
Each $10,000 of note principal is convertible into 75,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.133333 per share any time after November 30, 2014, to be adjusted for splits, reorganizations, stock dividends and similar corporate events (anti-dilution provisions). If the market price of Lattice common stock equals or exceeds twice the exercise price and certain other conditions are met, the Company may call the Note at face value for the purpose of forcing conversion of the balance of the LF1 Note into common stock.
The LF1 Note contained a provision whereby the conversion price is adjustable upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price which is lower than the current conversion price. Under FASB ASC 815-40-15-5, the embedded conversion feature is not considered indexed to the Companys own stock and, therefore does not meet the scope exception in FASB ASC 815-10-15 and thus needed to be accounted for as a derivative liability. The initial fair value at May 30, 2014 of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at $1,223,923 and recorded as a derivative liability, resulting in a net carrying value of the note at May 30, 2014 of $276,077 ($1,500,000 face value less $1,223,923 debt discount). On November 2, 2015 the derivative was valued at $218,819. The debt discount was amortized using the effective interest method and was $956,090 at November 2, 2015. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at the end of each quarterly reporting period using the Monte Carlo model.
On November 2, 2015, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to Lender to amend the promissory note issued to it in May 2015 to eliminate certain anti-dilution provisions. Based on managements review, the accounting for debt extinguishment applied. In accordance with the accounting for debt extinguishment, the Company wrote-off the unamortized debt discount of $929,177 and unamortized deferred finance fees relating to this note of $172,222. These charges were offset by the difference of the carrying value of the associated embedded derivative liability of $218,819 and the fair value of $150,000 for the 5,000,000 shares issued resulting in a net gain of $68,819. The net of these three items resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,032,580.
Inherent in the Monte Carlo Valuation model are assumptions related to expected volatility, remaining life, risk-free rate and expected dividend yield For the Convertible Notes using a Monte Carlo model, we estimate the probability and timing of potential future financing and fundamental transactions as applicable. The assumptions used by the Company are summarized below:
The convertible note with a derivative conversion feature consists of the following at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
Other Convertible Note
On May 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Security Agreement with Lattice Funding, LLC (Lender), a Pennsylvania limited liability company affiliated with Cantone Asset Management, LLC. The Company delivered a secured promissory note (the LF2 Note) in the principal sum of $908,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing on April 30, 2020. Interest on the LF2 Note is payable quarterly. After six months the Lender has the right to convert the principal amount of the note into conversion shares at any time before maturity at a price of $0.15, to be adjusted for splits, reorganizations, stock dividends and similar corporate events (anti-dilution provisions). The Company cannot prepay the amount due. The Company also executed UCC financing statements, securing the LF2 Note with proceeds of certain agreements.
Each $1,000 of note principal is convertible into 1,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.15, to be adjusted for splits, reorganizations, stock dividends and similar corporate events (anti-dilutive provisions). If the market price of Lattice common stock equals or exceeds twice the exercise price and certain other conditions are met, the Company may call the note at face value for the purpose of forcing conversion of the balance of the note in common stock.
The agreement contains a provision that for every $1,000 borrowed, the Company would need to issue 2,500 common shares to holder. The Company borrowed $908,000 on the note and issued 2,270,000 shares valued at $0.07 per share based on the closing price the day of the borrowings. This resulted in a debt discount of $222,460, which is being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Amortization expense of the debt discount was $19,926 in the current year.
In addition, the Company incurred deferred financing fees of $133,173 in connection with the notes which will be amortized over the life of the notes. Amortization expense for these deferred financing fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $17,757. Included within the $133,173 is $42,373 relating to 605,333 shares issued. The shares were valued at $0.07 per share, the market price of the stock at the closing date of the agreement.
The LF2 convertible note consists of the following at December 31, 2015:

Intangible assets |
In accordance with The Goodwill and Other Intangibles Topic of the ASC 350, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, and interim impairment tests are performed whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred.

The valuation of the derivative warrant liabilities is determined using a Black-Scholes Merton Model. Freestanding derivative instruments, consisting of warrants and options that arose from the Laurus financing are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation methodology because that model embodies all of the relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. Significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes models at December 31, 2015 included the December 31, 2015 publicly traded stock price of the Company of $0.04, the conversion or strike price of $0.10 per the agreement, a historical volatility factor of 221.77% based upon forward terms of instruments, and a risk free rate of 2.090% and remaining life 6.72 years.
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the following table represents the Companys fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Note Receivable |
As part of the sale of Lattice Government assets on April 2, 2013, the Company received a promissory note from Blackwatch International, Inc. for $700,000, which carried a 3% annual interest rate payable in 12 equal quarterly installments of $61,216 over a 3 year period. The first installment was due July 31, 2013 and each successive payment was due on the 15th day of the month following close of each quarter. Blackwatch never made these payments; therefore, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey to collect the monies. On April 7, 2015, a settlement was signed and the note receivable was settled for $537,500. The agreement calls for 7 quarterly payments of $30,000 after the April 15, 2015 payment, with the remaining balance of $297,500 being due in full on January 15, 2017, with consent to the entry of a final judgment upon default. The Company received the first and second payments on April 15, 2015 and July 15, 2015. Blackwatch failed to pay the amount that was due and payable under Paragraph 2a of the Agreement on October 15, 2015 and January 15, 2016. Written notice of default was sent to Blackwatch on November 4, 2015. On December 22, 2015, the Company made an application for the entry of final judgment by consent. The Court entered a Final Judgment on January 8, 2016. Given the entry of a judgment, the Company engaged in negotiations with Blackwatch designed to obtain payment from Blackwatch, which negotiations were unsuccessful. The Company thereafter obtained a required exemplified copy of the Final Judgment and submitted the Final Judgment to the Superior Court of New Jersey to obtain lien status and to ready the Final Judgment to be enforced against Blackwatch and the personal guarantor in their home state of Maryland. Based on the missed payments and Blackwatchs representation of its financial condition, the Company recorded a reserve allowance for the full amount of the note receivable in the amount of $522,185 at December 31, 2015. Accordingly, included in other income (expense) of the 2015 statement of operations is a charge-off of $522,185. The Company is in the process of enforcing its rights to collect on the full amount of the Final Judgment, plus reasonable attorneys fees and costs, from both Blackwatch and the personal guarantor. |

Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies | ||||||||||
Organization |
a) Organization
Lattice Incorporated (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware May 1973 and commenced operations in July 1977. The Company began as a provider of specialized solutions to the telecom industry. Throughout its history, Lattice has adapted to the changes in this industry by reinventing itself to be more responsive and open to the dynamic pace of change experienced in the broader converged communications industry of today. Currently, Lattice provides advanced solutions for several vertical markets. The greatest change in operations is in the shift from being a component manufacturer to a solution provider focused on developing applications through software on its core platform technology. To further its strategy of becoming a solutions provider, the Company acquired a majority interest in SMEI in February 2005. In September 2006, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Lattice Government Services, Inc., (LGS) (formerly Ricciardi Technologies Inc. (RTI)). LGS was founded in 1992 and provides software consulting and development services for the command and control of biological sensors and other Department of Defense requirements to United States federal governmental agencies either directly or through prime contractors of such governmental agencies. LGSs proprietary products include SensorView, which provides clients with the capability to command, control and monitor multiple distributed chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive and hazardous material sensors. In December 2009, we changed RTIs name to Lattice Government Services Inc. In January 2007, we changed our name from Science Dynamics Corporation to Lattice Incorporated. On May 16, 2011, we acquired 100% of the shares of Cummings Creek Capital, a holding company which owned 100% of the shares of CLR Group Limited. (CLR), a government contractor. Together, the SMEI, RTI and CLR acquisitions formed our federal government services business unit, Lattice Government Services (LGS). Through 2012 we operated in two segments, our federal government services unit and our telecommunication services business.
As part of the Companys strategy to focus on its higher growth potential communications business, the Company decided during the first quarter of 2013 to exit the Government services segment, which derived its revenues mainly from contracts with federal government Department of Defense agencies either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to another prime contractor. On April 2, 2013, we entered an Asset Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Blackwatch International, Inc. (Blackwatch), a Virginia corporation, pursuant to which we sold the assets of LGS for approximately $1.2 million. These assets essentially comprised our federal government services segment operations. The Company retained certain assets and liabilities of LGS. The residual assets includes approximately $700,000 in incurred cost claims relative to cost recoverable type contract vehicles.
On November 1, 2013, the Company purchased certain assets of Innovisit, LLC. The acquired assets mainly included: awarded contracts, customer lists, and its intellectual property rights to video visitation software assets. Under the agreement, the workforce and operating infrastructure supporting Innovisits business operations have been transferred to Lattice, including but not limited to certain employees, and leases. This acquisition complemented the product offering of our telecom services business.
In 2013, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Lattice Communications Inc., to enable us to operate in Canada. During 2014, we started operating a call center and collecting fee income for processing prepaid deposits for a large Canadian telecom provider which operates Lattice technology systems to provide call provisioning services to correctional facilities located in Canada. |

Basis of Presentation Going Concern |
b) Basis of Presentation Going Concern
At December 31, 2015, our working capital deficiency was approximately $6,943,000 compared to a working capital deficiency of approximately $4,360,000 at December 31, 2014. Cash from operations and available capacity on current credit facilities are insufficient to cover liabilities currently due and the liabilities which will mature over the next twelve months. Additionally, we are extended beyond terms on payables with trade creditors. We have several payment arrangements in place but face continuing pressure with trade creditors regarding overdue payables. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon our ability to improve our operating cash flow, maintain our credit lines and secure additional capital. Management has estimated that the Company will need alternative financing in the range of $4.0 to $5.0 million to support its liquidity needs over the next twelve months. In that regard, management is currently engaged in capital raising activities to adequately capitalize the Company. There is no assurance, however, that we will succeed in raising the additional financing needed to provide for all of our liquidity needs. In the event we fail to obtain the additional capital needed and/or restructure our existing debts with current creditors, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys consolidated financial position and operating results. |

c) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|||||||||
Use of Estimates |
d) Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to impairment of goodwill and equity investments, revenue recognition, recoverability of inventory and receivables, the useful lives, long-lived assets such as property and equipment, the future realization of deferred income tax benefits and the recording of various accruals. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used |
|||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures |
e) Fair Value Disclosures
Management believes that the carrying values of financial instruments, including, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value as a result of the short-term maturities of these instruments. As discussed in Note 1(m), derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value.
The carrying values of the Companys long-term debts approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rates and terms of such debt to the rates and terms of debt currently available to the Company. |

Income Taxes |
h) Income Taxes
We account for uncertain tax positions using a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as we have to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We re-evaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. We did not recognize any additional tax benefit or additional charges to our tax provision during 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has no liability related to uncertain tax positions.
The Companys 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination by the respective taxing authorities. In addition, net operating losses and research tax credits arising from prior years are also subject to examination at the time that they are utilized in future years. Neither the Companys federal or state tax returns are currently under examination. |
|||||||||
Revenue Recognition |
i) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from product sales is recognized when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer.
Direct Call Provisioning Services:
Revenues related to collect and prepaid calling services generated by communication services are recognized during the period in which the calls are made. In addition, during the same period, the Company records the related telecommunication costs for validating, transmitting, billing and collection, and line and long distance charges, along with commissions payable to the facilities and allowances for uncollectible calls, based on historical experience.
Wholesaled Technology:
We sell telephony systems with embedded proprietary software to other service providers. We recognize revenue when the equipment is shipped to the customer.
Breakage:
In compliance with regulatory tariffs, we recognize as income prepaid deposits which have aged beyond six to nine months and the customer has not requested a refund of the unused deposit.
Prepaid Cards:
We also sell prepaid phone cards to end user facilities on a wholesale basis. We recognize revenue on prepaid phone cards when they are either shipped or emailed to customer end user facilities.
Software Maintenance:
We offer software maintenance and support contracts to customers who purchase our technology systems. These are unbundled and invoiced separately and revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.
Revenues Recognition for Construction Projects:
Revenues from construction contracts are included in contract revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and are recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method. The percent complete is measured by the cost incurred to date compared to the estimated total cost of each project. This method is used as management considers expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts, the majority of which are completed within one year, but may occasionally extend beyond one year. Inherent uncertainties in estimating costs make it at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term and over the life of the contracts.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which they are determined. An amount equal to contract costs incurred that are attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are comprised principally of revenue recognized on contracts (on the percentage-of-completion method) for which billings had not been presented to customers because the amount were not billable under the contract terms at the balance sheet date. Amounts are billed based on contractual terms. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent billings in excess of revenues recognized. |
|||||||||
Share-based payments |
j) Share-Based Payments
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718-10, Accounting for Share-based payment, to account for compensation costs under its stock option plans and other share-based arrangements. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.
For purposes of estimating fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. At December 31, 2015, there was $224,354 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted under the equity compensation plans which do not include the effect of future grants of equity compensation, if any. This amount will be amortized over the remaining vesting periods of the grants. |
|||||||||
Depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets |
k) Depreciation, Amortization and Long-Lived Assets:
Long-lived assets include:
Property, plant and equipment - These assets are recorded at original cost. The Company depreciates the cost evenly over the assets estimated useful lives. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws.
Identifiable intangible assets - The Company amortizes the cost of other intangibles over their useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; however, they are tested annually for impairment and written down to fair value as required.
At least annually, The Company reviews all long-lived assets for impairment. When necessary, charges are recorded for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets. |
|||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
l) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the derivative liabilities amounted to $30,154 and $840,963. In accordance with the accounting standards the Company determined that the carrying value of these derivatives approximated the fair value using the level 3 inputs. |
|||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments and Registration Payment Arrangements |
m) Derivative Financial Instruments and Registration Payment Arrangements
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into various types of financing arrangements to fund its business capital requirements, including convertible debt and other financial instruments indexed to the Company's own stock. These contracts require careful evaluation to determine whether derivative features embedded in host contracts require bifurcation and fair value measurement or, in the case of freestanding derivatives (principally warrants) whether certain conditions for equity classification have been achieved. In instances where derivative financial instruments require liability classification, the Company is required to initially and subsequently measure such instruments at fair value. Accordingly, the Company adjusts the fair value of these derivative components at each reporting period through a charge to income until such time as the instruments require classification in stockholders' equity (deficit). See Note 4 for additional information.
As previously stated, derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, management considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, the Company generally uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, dividend yield, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as embedded conversion options, the Company generally uses the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to fair value these more complex instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (loss) will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. |

Segment Reporting |
n) Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10-50, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a companys management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company exited its government services business in April 2013 and is reporting the operating results of that unit as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial reports. Accordingly, the Company operates in one segment during the year ended December 31, 2015 (Telecom services). |

Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share |
o) Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share:
The Company calculates income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common share equivalents (which consist of convertible preferred stock, options and warrants) are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, and which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, totaled approximately 39 million shares and 69 million shares at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |

Recent accounting pronouncements |
p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendments in this Update provide guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. On July 9th the effective date was delayed one year by a vote by the FASB. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans would apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application would be permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company has reviewed the applicable ASU and has not, at the current time, quantified the effects of this pronouncement, however it believes that there will be no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 (ASU 2015-03), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. An entity should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
We do not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period. |
