Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include recognition of revenue for work completed and unbilled to customers, the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and cash infusions by major stockholders will be sufficient to finance its operations for the next twelve months, but are likely to be insufficient to fund significant growth. The Company raised $665,000 in gross capital during the second half of 2017 and, over time, expects to seek additional capital to cover any working capital needs, and to fund growth initiatives in its identified markets. However, there can be no assurance that any new debt or equity financing arrangement will be available to the Company when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to raise funds, collect accounts receivable, and generate revenue.

 

Unaudited Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

Cash

 

The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions it invests with. From time to time, however briefly, the Company maintains balances in operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. At March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, an allowance for doubtful accounts was made totaling $58,704 and $63,270, respectively, to provide for the possibility of a revenue shortfall from the project in Modoc County, and is reflected in the accounts receivable balance on the balance sheet in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) under the contract (either implicit or explicit) by transferring the promised product or service to its customer either when (or as) its customer obtains control of the product or service. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct.

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenues) basis.

 

The Company’s performance obligations under its engine business are generally satisfied as over time. Revenue from products or services transferred to its customer over time accounted for approximately 14.7% and 11.6% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue under this contract is generally recognized over time using an input measure based upon the proportion of actual costs incurred to estimated total project costs, which is a method used to best depict the Company’s performance to date under the terms of the contract.

 

Accounting for over time contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total revenue and costs. The Company estimates profit on such contracts as the difference between total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognizes that profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. These assumptions include, among other things, labor productivity, costs and availability of materials. The nature of these long-term agreements may give rise to several types of variable consideration, such as claims, awards and incentive fees. These amounts of variable consideration are not expected to be significant. Additionally, contract estimates may include additional revenue for submitted contract modifications if there exists and enforceable right to the modification, the amount can be reasonably estimated and its realization is probable. These estimates are based on historical collection experience, anticipated performance, and the Company’s best judgment at the time. These amounts are generally included in the contract’s transaction price and are allocated over the remaining performance obligations. Changes in judgments on these above estimates could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized with a resulting impact on the timing and amount of associated income.

 

The Company may receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. In the event a contract loss becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized in the Statement of Operations.

 

The majority of the Company’s revenue is from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time and was approximately 85.3% and 88.4% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product or service, which is generally when product title passes to the customer upon shipment.

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, costs in excess of billings (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs (contract liabilities, previously deferred revenue) on the Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities additionally include customer advances or prepayments. Costs in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs associated with over time contracts were not significant at March 31, 2018 or 2017. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $0 and $34,587, respectively.

 

On March 31, 2018, the Company had no remaining performance obligations.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are being depreciated on the straight line basis over a period of five years.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by the tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2013 - 2016).

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted income (loss) per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income (loss) per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

The Company’s outstanding warrants are anti-dilutive, and accordingly basic (loss) and diluted (loss) per share are the same.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue, cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Revenue from the Company’s sale of services are generally recognized either when services are performed (i.e. point in time) or under engine sales contracts, as the Company transfers control of the product or service to its customers (i.e. over time), which approximates the previously used percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As such, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 had no material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the Company has now presented the disclosures required by this new standard herein.

 

All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
