Note 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Significant accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

 

Change in Fiscal Year End

 

On December 15, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31 of each year. This change to the calendar year reporting cycle began January 1, 2018.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at United States banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of certain customers to make required future payments on amounts due us. Management determines the adequacy of this allowance by periodically evaluating the aging and past due nature of individual customer accounts receivable balances and considering the customer’s current financial situation as well as the existing industry economic conditions and other relevant factors that would be useful in assessing the risk of collectability. If the future financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make specific required payments, additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. In addition, if the financial condition of our customers improves and collections of amounts outstanding commence or are reasonably assured, then we may reverse previously established allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company has estimated and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,000 and $5,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

  

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are recorded at their historical cost. Depreciation and amortization have been determined using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are computers and office equipment (3 years) and for office furniture and fixtures (7 years). The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to operations in the period incurred.

 

Software Development Costs and Acquired Software

 

The Company accounts for software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold to external users. In accordance with ASC 985-730, Computer Software Research and Development, research and planning phase costs are expensed as incurred and development phase costs including direct materials and services, payroll and benefits and interest costs are capitalized.

 

We have determined that technological feasibility for our products to be marketed to external users was reached before the release of those products. As a result, the development costs and related acquisition costs after the establishment of technological feasibility were capitalized as incurred. Capitalized costs for software to be sold to external users and software acquired in a business combination are amortized based on current and projected future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straightline amortization over three years.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

Long lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or between annual tests when an impairment indicator exists. If an optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment is not performed, we are required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. If a reporting unit’s fair value is lower than its carrying value, we must determine the amount of implied goodwill that would be established if the reporting unit was hypothetically acquired on the impairment test date. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the amount of implied goodwill, an impairment loss equal to the excess would be recorded. The recoverability of indefinite lived intangible assets is assessed by comparison of the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. If we determine that the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess would be recorded.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has four primary sources of revenue:

 

  • Electronic Health Records (EHR) licenses and rental services
     
  • Encrypted Secure & HIPPA Compliant email services (“Encrypted Secure email”)
     
  • ICD Coding Software
     
  • Meaningful Use Consulting Services

  

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 606 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, utilizing a full retrospective transition approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period. A summary of the impact of the full retrospective transition implementation adjustment on revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and twelve months ended June 30, 2017 is as follows:

Twelve months ended June 30, 2017     568,000       85,000       653,000  

 

A summary of the impact of the full retrospective transition implementation adjustment on deferred revenue as of December 31, 2017 and Accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 is as follows:

Revenue from EHR software licensing arrangements include private cloud hosting services and post contract support provided to clients that have purchased a perpetual or specific term license to the EHR software solution and have contracted with the Company to host the software. These arrangements provide the client with a contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the private cloud hosting period without significant penalty and it is feasible for the client to either use the software on its own equipment or to contract with an unrelated third party to host the software. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its EHR software license at the time the customer has access to use the software, with deferral of revenues associated with the cloud hosting and post contract support performance objectives, allocated based on relative fair value.

 

The Company defers revenue from the sale of its EHR software products associated with cloud hosting and post contract support performance objectives over the term of the license agreement. Cloud hosting performance objective revenues are deferred based on forecasted cloud storage costs, encrypted secure email performance objective revenues are deferred based on the forecasted sales price of those services to other customers of the Company and customer support performance objective revenues are deferred based on forecasted customer support costs based on Company experience.

 

Encrypted Secure email services are provided on a fee basis as software as a service (“SaaS”) arrangements and are recognized as revenue ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date our solutions are made available to the customer. The length of a customer service period is monthly over which such customer has the right to use the Company’s SaaS Encrypted Secure email solution.

 

ICD coding services are provided on a fee basis as SaaS arrangements and are recognized as revenue ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date the Company’s solutions are made available to the customer. The length of a customer service period varies from multi-year annually renewed to monthly over which such customer has the right to use the Company’s ICD coding software solution.

  

Meaningful Use consulting service revenue is recognized in the period that the services are completed and the submission of the customer’s underlying application for Federal Meaningful Use Incentive Funds is received from the relevant taxing authority.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are reported in general and administrative expenses and include advertising, marketing and promotional programs and are charged as expenses in the period or year in which incurred. Advertising costs were $47,000, $50,000 and $19,000, for the twelve month period December 31, 2018, the six month period ended December 31, 2017 and the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect the financial statements.

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible debt and preferred stock instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

 

Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount, if any, expected to be realized in future years.

 

ASC 740, Accounting for Income taxes (“ASC 740”), requires that deferred tax assets be evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent we believe a portion more likely than not will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative loss experience and expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdictions, the carry forwarding periods available to us for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors.

 

The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits or penalties has not been provided since there has been no unrecognized benefit or penalty. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit or penalty, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company files U.S. Federal income tax returns and various returns in state jurisdictions. The Company’s open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the state Departments of Revenue generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.

 

Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and the Company’s effective tax rate in the future. On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) became law. The Tax Act enacted significant tax law changes, largely effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Tax Act reduces the corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, for all corporations. GAAP requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates to be recognized as of the date of enactment, therefore we have revalued our tax assets and liabilities as of December 22, 2017. As a result of the revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, the impact of the change in tax law reduced the value of our deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance as of December 31, 2017 by $8,300,000.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding other Common Stock equivalents, including stock options, shares issuable on exercise of warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share which consisted of all outstanding common stock options and warrants.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for all stock-based payments and awards under the fair value based method. Stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of stock-based payments to nonemployees is periodically re-measured until the counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity based instruments on an accelerated basis. The cost of the stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term.

 

The Company accounts for the granting of share purchase options to employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees are recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. Share based awards granted to employees with a performance condition are measured based on the probable outcome of that performance condition during the requisite service period. Such an award with a performance condition is accrued if it is probable that a performance condition will be achieved. Compensation costs for stock-based payments to employees that do not include performance conditions are recognized on a straight-line basis. The fair value of all share purchase options is expensed over their requisite service period with a corresponding increase to additional capital surplus. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in additional capital surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital.

 

The fair value of restricted stock units issued are determined by the Company based on the estimated fair value the Company’s common stock. The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the fair value of its common stock using the closing stock price of its common stock on the date of the agreement. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on it’s historical stock prices. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company issued 1,300,000 options to certain officers of the Company during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2018 and did not issue options for the six months ended December 31, 2017 or for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The Company used the following assumptions for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee, in most leases, to initially recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective transition approach with either 1) periods prior to the adoption date being recast or 2) a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods not recast. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment method and elected certain practical expedients allowed under the standard. Upon adoption, the Company estimates assets and liabilities will increase by approximately $43,000. The Company does not expect to recognize a material cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption.

  

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features” (“Topic 480”). This update changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. ASU 2017-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has evaluated the impact of the pronouncement on the financial statements and has determined that it will not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has evaluated the impact of the pronouncement on the financial statements and has determined that it will not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe that any other issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
