Notes to Financial Statements

Organization and Business

Founded in 1979, Information Analysis Incorporated (the “Company”, “we”), to which we sometimes refer as IAI, is in the business of developing and maintaining information technology (IT) systems, modernizing client information systems, and performing professional services to government and commercial organizations. We presently concentrate our technology, services and experience to developing web-based and mobile device solutions (including electronic forms conversions), data analytics, cyber security applications, and legacy software migration and modernization for various agencies of the federal government. We provide software and services to government and commercial customers throughout the United States, with a concentration in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

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 our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 2, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). The accompanying December 31, 2017 balance sheet was derived from our 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 September 30, 2018 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, 2017, that was filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018, except as described in Note 2 herein.

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

As of September 30, 2018, there have been no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax position disclosures as provided in Note 7 of the Annual Report. Through the filing of its 2017 federal income tax return, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $14,959,541, of which $7,750,305 will expire, if unused, on December 31, 2018.

ASC 606 Impact to Previously Reported Results

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the FASB-issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASC 606”) by applying the modified retrospective transition method to all of our contracts. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the periods presented. Based on the results of our evaluation, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our revenue recognition policies. In addition, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Additionally, the cumulative effect to the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2018, from the adoption of ASC 606 was not material.

Reclassification of Financial Statement Line Items

Certain financial statement line items presented in prior periods have been reclassified for consistency between the periods presented. Contract assets in the form of unbilled receivables have been disaggregated from accounts receivable, net, and deferred revenue has been reclassified as contract liabilities.
