Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Inventory


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method.  Inventories consisted of:


      December 31, 2013       June 30, 2014  

Raw materials

  $ 26,080     $ 18,429  

Finished goods

    3,750       6,301  

Total inventory

  $ 29,830     $ 24,730  

Other Assets


Other Assets consists of payments made to purchase patents related to our efforts in commercializing the ISAN system.


For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 we recorded amortization expense totaling $5,460 and $5,460, respectively.


We review intangible assets for potential impairment using our best estimates based on reasonable assumptions and projections. An impairment loss to write such assets down to their estimated fair values is necessary if the carrying values of the assets exceed their related undiscounted expected future cash flows. We also determine impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. No impairment has been recorded for the period ended June 30, 2014. 


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based transactions, uncollectible accounts receivable, asset depreciation and amortization, and taxes, among others.


Share-based Payments


All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.


For stock issued to consultants and other non-employees for services, we record the expense based on the fair market value of the securities as of the date of the stock issuance. The issuance of stock warrants or options to non-employees are valued at the time of issuance utilizing the Black Scholes calculation and the amount is charged to expense.


During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 we recorded an aggregate $25,200 and $25,200 in selling general and administrative expense related to options issued pursuant to the 2007 Plan.


During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 we recorded an aggregate $68,000 and $358,213 in selling general and administrative expense related to options issued outside of the 2007 Plan.


During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 we issued an aggregate 284,491 shares of our common stock to our officers in lieu of accrued and unpaid compensation and unreimbursed expenses totaling $166,607. (See Note 9).


During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 we issued an aggregate 106,776 and 313,209 shares of our common stock to third party vendors in lieu of accrued and unpaid compensation and unreimbursed expenses totaling $34,530 and $229,257, respectively. (See Note 9).


On March 28, 2014, we issued an aggregate 1,360,000 shares of our common stock to note payable holders in lieu of $584,800 note payable principal balance and related accrued interest. (See Note 5).


Non-Cash Transactions


We have established a policy relative to the methodology to determine the value assigned to each intangible we acquire, and/or services or products received for non-cash consideration of our common stock. The value is based on the market price of our common stock issued as consideration, at the date of the agreement of each transaction or when the service is rendered or product is received.


The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results of our financial statements.


Revenue Recognition


Revenues are recognized as risk and title to products transfers to the customer (which generally occurs at the time shipment is made), the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We also may generate revenues from royalties and license fees from our intellectual property. Licensees typically pay a license fee in one or more installments and ongoing royalties based on their sales of products incorporating or using our licensed intellectual property. License fees are recognized over the estimated period of future benefit to the average licensee.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share


We report basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) for common and common share equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by adding to the weighted average shares the dilutive effect if stock options and warrants were exercised into common stock. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, the denominator in the diluted EPS computation is the same as the denominator for basic EPS due to the anti-dilutive effect of the warrants and stock options on the Company’s net loss.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


There was no recent accounting guidance issued where the adoption would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
