Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Basis of Presentation - These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements by U.S. GAAP.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position as of September 30, 2015 and the results of operations for the periods then ended.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2014, and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company’s accounting policies did not change in the first half of 2015.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or any future period.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include Dr. Pave, LLC and Dr. Pave Worldwide, LLC; both wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, as described below, certain factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company also faces certain risks and uncertainties which are present in many emerging companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party manufacturing organizations.

 

The Company has previously relied exclusively on private placements with a small group of investors to finance its business and operations.  The Company has had little revenue since inception.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2,991,000 and utilized approximately $826,000 in cash flows from operating activities.  The Company had cash on hand of approximately $15,000 as of September 30, 2015.  The Company is not able to obtain additional financing adequate to fulfill its commercialization activities, nor achieve a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.   The Company does not currently have any revenue under contract nor does it have any immediate sales prospects.  During the third quarter the Company moved to list the asphalt paving assets and the intellectual property inclusive of patents and trademarks for sale.  Several proposals were submitted to the Company, and following review by the Board of Directors, none were deemed suitable to satisfy the financial requirements of the Company moving forward.  The Company has significantly scaled back operations to maintain only a minimal level of operations necessary to support our licensees, warehouse inventory and look for potential merger candidates.  It is the Company’s intention to move forward as a public entity and to seek other potential merger candidates.  If the Company fails to merge or be acquired by another company, we will be required to terminate all our operations.

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $15,000 cash on hand and is spending approximately $10,000 per month as a result of the significant reduction in employees and overhead, of which only a minor amount was satisfied by gross proceeds from operations or sale of assets.  Hence, the amount of cash on hand is not adequate to meet our ongoing expenses.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received cash in the aggregate of $753,000 and converted a $160,000 secured note plus accrued interest and a $20,000 unsecured note into the $2,000,000 senior secured debt offering commenced in February 2015.  Based upon the Company’s current financial position and inability to obtain additional financing, the Company will not be able to satisfy the mandatory principal payments in 2015 under the $2,000,000 senior secured debt.  The Company will continue to work with the lenders to explore extension or conversion options, but there is no guarantee the lenders will agree to modify the repayment terms of the notes under conditions that will allow the Company to continue to repay the notes, if at all. As these notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property rights, the Company is in default in regards to interest payments on the notes, and the lenders may call the notes and foreclose on the Company’s assets.  

 

The issues described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company commenced a $2,000,000 secured debt offering, the Company does not believe it will be able to raise additional amounts under the offering.  The Company has been solely reliant on raising debt and capital in order to maintain its operations.  Previously the Company was able to raise debt and equity financing through the assistance of a small number of investors who have been substantial participants in its debt and equity offerings since the Company’s formation.  These investors have chosen not to further assist the Company with its capital raising initiatives and, at this time, the Company is not able to obtain any alternative forms of financing and the Company will not be able to continue to satisfy its current or long term obligations.  The Company needs to merge with or be acquired by another company.  If a candidate is not identified, the Company will be forced to cease operations all together.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company sells its equipment (HWX-30 heater, HWX-30S mobile heater and HWX-AP-40 asphalt processor), as well as certain consumables to third parties.  Equipment sales revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are satisfied:  (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed and determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred.  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement and a fixed or determinable price exist once the Company receives an order or contract from a customer.  The Company assesses collectability at the time of the sale and if collectability is not reasonably assured, the sale is deferred and not recognized until collectability is probable or payment is received.  Typically, title and risk of ownership transfer when the equipment is shipped.

 

Other revenue represents revenue on consumables, license fees and franchise fees.

 

Assets held for sale - Measured at Fair Value - In efforts to streamline the operations and expenses the Company has opted to sell or return certain assets to improve cash flow or settle debt.  The assets are expected to be sold within the next 12 months and meet the other relevant held-for-sale criteria are classified as long-lived assets held-for-sale and measured at their fair value based on the Company’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable market data, when available.  An impairment loss is recorded in the statement of operations for long-lived assets held-for-sale when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. A long-lived asset is not depreciated while it is classified as held-for-sale.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to be material to its financial statements upon adoption.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. An entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.  The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including the interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), was issued in three parts: (a) "Summary and Amendments That Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40)," (b) "Conforming Amendments to Other Topics and Subtopics in the Codification and Status Tables," and (c) "Background Information and Basis for Conclusions."  The new presentation guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is considering the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
