Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There are several accounting policies that the Company believes are significant to the presentation of its financial statements. These policies require management to make complex or subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Note 3 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 presents a summary of significant accounting policies as included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The guidance was applied retrospectively and resulted in a reclassification between assets and liabilities of $30,308 and $34,638 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Reclassifications – The Company reclassifies amounts in its financial statements to comply with recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of notes payable and convertible notes payable approximates the fair value based on rates currently available from financial institutions and various lenders.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted - In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will evaluate the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures and select a transition method.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax asset and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. When the guidance is effective all deferred tax assets and liabilities will be presented as noncurrent. We do not believe this guidance will have a material effect on our financial statements when adopted.

  

In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for lease arrangements in order to increase transparency and comparability by providing additional information to users of financial statements regarding an entity's leasing activities. The revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements. The guidance, which is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2019, will be applied on a modified retrospective basis beginning with the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.
