Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization and Business
 
Founded in
1979,

IAI’s core competencies lie in legacy system (COBOL) migration and modernization, including developing user-friendly interfaces for complex legacy environments, database conversion and migration, development of electronic fillable forms (e-Forms), including smart forms, Section

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form
10
-Q and Article
8
-
03
of Regulation S-
X.
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair and
not
misleading presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2019
included in the Annual Report on Form
10
-K filed by the Company with the SEC on
March 30, 2020 (
the “Annual Report”), as amended. The accompanying
December 31, 2019,
balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report. The results of operations for any interim periods are
not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
 
There have been
no
changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of
March 31, 2020,
as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note
1,
"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2019,
that was filed with the SEC on
March 30, 2020.
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can, and in many cases will, differ from those estimates. 
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company has analyzed its income tax positions using the criteria required by U.S. GAAP and concluded that as of
March 31, 2020,
and
December 31, 2019,
it has
no
material uncertain tax positions and
no
interest or penalties have been accrued. Through the anticipated filing of its
2019
federal income tax return, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$3.5
million, of which
$0.8
million will expire, if unused, on
December 31, 2020.
