−Removed: that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction
−Removed: between market participants.
−Removed: As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an
−Removed: asset or liability.
−Removed: The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair
−Removed: value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
−Removed: The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to
−Removed: measure fair value:
−Removed: Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical
−Removed: assets or liabilities.
−Removed: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets
−Removed: that are not active;
−Removed: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
−Removed: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities;
−Removed: inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by
−Removed: correlation or other means.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated
−Removed: in valuation techniques used to determine fair value.
−Removed: These assumptions are required
−Removed: to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

−Removed: to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should
−Removed: be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in
−Removed: If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC
−Removed: 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”
−Removed: for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
−Removed: The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge
−Removed: exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
−Removed: The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock
−Removed: purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
−Removed: For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at

−Removed: the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation

−Removed: Pursuant to paragraph
−Removed: 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received
−Removed: for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value
−Removed: of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

−Removed: of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable
−Removed: that performance will occur.

−Removed: of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum
−Removed: (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly
−Removed: price observations
−Removed: would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due
−Removed: to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
−Removed: The fair value of share options and similar instruments
−Removed: is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.
−Removed: The ranges of assumptions for inputs are

−Removed: Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate
−Removed: to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual
−Removed: term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide
−Removed: a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of
−Removed: time its equity shares have been publicly traded;
−Removed: (ii) A company significantly changes

−Removed: The Company uses the average
−Removed: historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life
−Removed: of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.
−Removed: a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally

−Removed: Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in
−Removed: which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair
−Removed: value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
−Removed: The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the
−Removed: performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
−Removed: If the Company is a newly formed corporation
−Removed: or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement
−Removed: memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily
−Removed: price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack
−Removed: of consistent trading in the market.
−Removed: The fair value of share options and similar instruments
−Removed: is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.

−Removed: the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments
−Removed: is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company
−Removed: does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon

−Removed: Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested,
−Removed: non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services
−Removed: (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any
−Removed: obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached.
−Removed: A grantor shall
−Removed: recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into).
−Removed: Whether the corresponding
−Removed: cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements
−Removed: of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances.
−Removed: Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may
−Removed: conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity
−Removed: instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific
−Removed: performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments).
−Removed: Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity
−Removed: by the grantor of the equity instruments.
−Removed: The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the
−Removed: balance sheet display of the asset.
−Removed: This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity
−Removed: instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services.
−Removed: Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on
−Removed: the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.
−Removed: Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an
−Removed: entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period
−Removed: of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions.
−Removed: Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid
−Removed: cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments.
−Removed: A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty
−Removed: has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
−Removed: Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company
−Removed: receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments
−Removed: are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered
−Removed: issued until they vest).
−Removed: Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.
−Removed: Income Tax Provision
−Removed: From the inception of the Company and through November
−Removed: 6, 2012, the Company was taxed as a pass-through entity (a limited liability company) under the Internal Revenue Code and was
−Removed: not subject to federal and state income taxes;
−Removed: accordingly, no provision had been made.
−Removed: The financial statements reflect the Company’s transactions
−Removed: without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes for the period from November 7, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
−Removed: loss generated by the Company for the period January 1, 2012 to November 6, 2012 has been excluded from the computation of income
−Removed: The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30
−Removed: of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
−Removed: future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
−Removed: Under this method, deferred
−Removed: tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
−Removed: using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets are reduced
−Removed: by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
−Removed: tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
−Removed: temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
−Removed: tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting
−Removed: Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”).
−Removed: Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits
−Removed: claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.
−Removed: Under Section 740-10-25, the
−Removed: Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
−Removed: will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
−Removed: The tax benefits recognized
−Removed: in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty
−Removed: (50) percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
−Removed: Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
−Removed: classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
−Removed: The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences
−Removed: between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit
−Removed: carry-backs and carry-forwards.
−Removed: The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated
−Removed: balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
−Removed: Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of
−Removed: the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability.
−Removed: In addition, the
−Removed: Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions.
−Removed: In management’s opinion,
−Removed: adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years.
−Removed: If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates,
−Removed: additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
−Removed: The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination
−Removed: by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2012 through 2016.
−Removed: Uncertain Tax Positions
−Removed: The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and
−Removed: had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting
−Removed: periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
−Removed: Related Parties

+Added: The preparation of these consolidated
+Added: financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,

+Added: We base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other
+Added: assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
+Added: Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely
+Added: to occur from period to period.
+Added: Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management.
+Added: We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
+Added: To the extent that there are material differences between these
+Added: estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash
+Added: flows will be affected.
+Added: We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity
+Added: than our other accounting policies.
+Added: Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating
+Added: our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
+Added: generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
+Added: estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.
+Added: estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to:
+Added: net realizable value of accounts receivable
+Added: and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets,
+Added: estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded
+Added: as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.
+Added: estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment.
+Added: It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect
+Added: of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered
+Added: in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events.
+Added: Accordingly, actual
