Critical Accounting Policies
−Removed: We believe that the following accounting
−Removed: policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this “Management’s Discussion and
−Removed: Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.”
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: We use estimates and assumptions in preparing
−Removed: financial statements.
−Removed: Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
−Removed: contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: Fair Value Measurements
−Removed: The fair value of a financial instrument
−Removed: is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
−Removed: market participants at the measurement date.
−Removed: Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked
−Removed: to offer prices.
−Removed: Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs.
−Removed: A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize
−Removed: the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
−Removed: Categorization within the fair value hierarchy
−Removed: is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
−Removed: The fair value hierarchy is defined
−Removed: into the following three categories:
−Removed: Level 1 –
−Removed: Quoted prices in active
−Removed: markets for identical assets or liabilities;
−Removed: Level 2 –
−Removed: Inputs other than quoted
−Removed: prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;
−Removed: Level 3 –
−Removed: Unobservable inputs that
−Removed: are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions
−Removed: that market participants would use in pricing.
−Removed: The Company recognizes income and expenses
−Removed: based on the accrual method of accounting.
−Removed: The Company utilizes the liability method
−Removed: of accounting for income taxes.
−Removed: Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
−Removed: between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
−Removed: that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse.
−Removed: An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when
−Removed: it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.
−Removed: Derivative Liability
−Removed: The Company evaluates its debt and equity
−Removed: issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted
−Removed: for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
−Removed: The result of
−Removed: this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded
−Removed: as either an asset or a liability.
−Removed: In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded
−Removed: in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense.
−Removed: Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative
−Removed: instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then the related fair
−Removed: value is reclassified to equity.
−Removed: In circumstances where the embedded conversion
−Removed: option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the
−Removed: convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single,
−Removed: compound derivative instrument.
−Removed: The classification of derivative instruments,
−Removed: including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting
−Removed: Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to
−Removed: liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
−Removed: Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified
−Removed: in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected
−Removed: within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
−Removed: The Company adopted Section 815-40-15
−Removed: of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded
−Removed: feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock.
−Removed: Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach
−Removed: to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating
−Removed: the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
−Removed: The Company utilizes an option pricing
−Removed: model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet
−Removed: The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: Adoption of ASU 2017-11
−Removed: As noted above, in connection with the securities purchase agreement and debt transactions during the
−Removed: year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued warrants and convertible notes, to purchase common stock with an exercise price
−Removed: of $0.20 and a five-year term.
−Removed: Upon issuance of the warrants and convertible notes, the Company evaluated the note agreement to
−Removed: determine if the agreement contained any embedded components that would qualify the agreement as a derivative.
−Removed: The Company identified
−Removed: certain equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s
−Removed: contingent exercise and settlement provisions, requiring the Company to classify the warrants and convertible notes as a derivative
−Removed: The Company changed its method of accounting for the convertible notes and warrants through the early adoption of ASU
−Removed: 2017-11 during the year ended December 31, 2017 on a retrospective basis.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Company recorded the warrant derivative
−Removed: and conversion option derivative liabilities to additional paid in capital upon issuance.
−Removed: Stock Based Compensation
−Removed: All stock-based payments to employees,
−Removed: non-employee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including any grants of restricted stock
−Removed: and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation
−Removed: or other expense over the relevant service period.
−Removed: Stock-based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the
−Removed: period of performance.
−Removed: Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached
−Removed: or the date performance is completed.
−Removed: In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are non-forfeitable the measurement date
−Removed: is the date the award is issued.
−Removed: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: Management of the Company is responsible
−Removed: for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application.
−Removed: Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial
−Removed: condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the
−Removed: need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
−Removed: The Company’s significant and critical
−Removed: accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial
−Removed: The Company’s consolidated financial
−Removed: statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
−Removed: GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical
Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

−Removed: Critical accounting estimates are estimates
−Removed: for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly

+Added: Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
+Added: Fair value of long-lived assets:
Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
−Removed: If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than
−Removed: originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated
−Removed: useful lives.

+Added: are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.
+Added: Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison
+Added: of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from the use and eventual disposition.
+Added: If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying
+Added: amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
+Added: We have not recorded any significant impairment charges during the years presented.
