2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Effective January 27, 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31 and filed an unaudited transitional report on Form 10-QT to cover the period from October 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2015 is unaudited and was derived from the Company’s Form 10-QT and does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including critical and significant accounting policies, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Results of operations and cash flows for interim periods presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full fiscal year.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

On January 5, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The classification and measurement guidance will be effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating how the adoption of this standard will impact its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02” Topic 842). The core change with ASU 2016-02 is the requirement for the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” or ASU 2016-09, which amends ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating how the adoption of this standard will impact its consolidated financial statements.

 

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13”). This ASU modifies the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for us as of January 1, 2020. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of ASU 2016-13.

 

On August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230 “ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The updated guidance requires a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-15 on its statements of consolidated operations and cash flows.

 

Liquidity - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $16 million. In addition, the Company has working capital deficiencies of $2.6 million and $3.6 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company recently closed on an equity raise thru a private placement, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $1.5 million as of September 30, 2016. Management plans to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of debt or equity securities until such time its operations will begin to produce a positive cash flow. However, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain and close financing transactions on terms acceptable to the Company or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has a backlog of approximately $32,500,000 of future orders to be fulfilled in the next twelve months. 

 

Reclassifications - Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to its allowances for receivables, taxes and equity issuances.

 

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold Recognition - Generally, for the staffing business, revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Due to the short term nature of the Company’s construction contracts, revenue is recognized once 100% of a contract segment is completed. A contract may have many segments, of which, once a segment is completed, the revenue for the segment is recognized when no further significant performance obligations exists. The Company’s construction contracts or segments of contracts typically range from several days to two to four months. Contract costs may be billed as incurred. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company begins recognizing revenue on a project as project costs are incurred and revenue recognition criteria are met. As expenses are incurred on a project but the invoicing criteria are not met, but the work has been accepted by the customer, revenue is recognized in that period and recognized in accounts receivable as unbilled revenue. Such amount approximated $5 million and $1 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period such losses are known. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, changes in raw material costs, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to revenue, costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share - The basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include convertible debt, warrants an d preferred stock. The number of potential common shares outstanding relating to convertible debt, warrants and preferred stock is computed using the treasury stock method. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. Comparative data for the previous period has been adjusted to reflect the 1 for 20 reverse split effectuated May 26, 2016. 

 

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because they are not currently convertible, or because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

 

    For the Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2016     2015  
Convertible preferred stock, Series A     667,169       667,169  
Convertible preferred stock, Series A-1     393,645       393,645  
Convertible preferred stock, Series D [1]     -       760,959,600  
Convertible preferred stock, Series F [1]     -       -  
Warrants     11,658,814       797,358  
Convertible debt     -       200,000  
Total potentially dilutive shares     12,719,628       763,017,722  

 

[1] The Series D and Series F preferred shares are convertible at a rate of 400 pre-split shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock but not until the Company has effected a sufficient increase in the authorized common shares. The Series D and Series F preferred shares were mandatorily converted to common shares at a ratio of 1 to 20 when the reverse split of common shares was effectuated on May 26, 2016.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash at one financial institution that management believes is a high-credit, high-quality financial institution and accordingly, subject to minimal credit risk. Deposits held with these financial institutions may be in excess of the amount of insured limits provided on such deposits, if any. The Company is subject to risk of nonpayment of its trade accounts receivable.

 

The Company’s customer base is highly concentrated. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s three largest customers, Customer E, Customer H and Customer B, represented 47%, 14%, and 10% of accounts receivable, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s four largest customers, innovative communications service providers, Customer M, Customer E, Customer N and Customer J represented 34%, 13%, 12%, and 11% of accounts receivable, respectively.

 

Revenue may significantly decline if the Company were to lose one or more of its significant customers. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, Customer E represented approximately 51% and 47% of revenues respectively, and customer B represented approximately 8% and 23% respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company generated revenue by four major customers, Customer M, represented approximately 49% and 33% of revenues respectively Customer J, represented approximately 8% and 19% of revenues respectively, Customer N, represented approximately 16% and 13% of revenues respectively, and Customer L representing 6% and 10% of revenues, respectively.

 

Amortization of Senior Note Debt Discount and Deferred Financing Costs - The amortization of the senior note debt discount (Note 7. Senior Debt) is calculated monthly using the straight line method, which approximates the interest rate method, over the original term of the note, twenty-four months, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest rate method. The result of this monthly amortization is recognized in amortization of debt discount in the period amortized for the debt discount and interest expense for the deferred finance costs. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standard related to fair value measurement at inception. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The recorded values of long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, leasehold improvements, property and equipment, deposits, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, capital leases, equity-linked warrants, and notes payable. The recorded values of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable approximate fair values due to the short maturities of such instruments. Recorded values for notes payable and related liabilities approximate fair values, since their amortization of deferred financing cost stated or imputed interest rates are commensurate with prevailing market rates for similar obligations.
