NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OFSIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
TheCompany’s consolidatedfinancial statementshave been prepared in accordancewith accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States ofAmerica (“U.S. GAAP”).Also see Note 3.
Principles of Consolidation
TheCompany’s accounts includefinancials ofthe Company and itswholly owned subsidiaries,Transcendent One,Inc. and TransTechOne, LLC. All significant inter-company transactionshave been eliminatedinconsolidation. Theoperations ofTranscendent One, Inc. and TransTech One,LLC areinsignificant and the Company dissolvedthe subsidiarieson October8,2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation ofthe consolidatedfinancial statementsin conformitywith generally acceptedaccounting principlesrequires management tomake estimatesand assumptions that affectthe reportedamounts of assetsand liabilitiesand disclosure ofcontingentassetsand liabilities at the dateof the consolidatedfinancial statementsand the reportedamounts ofrevenuesand expensesduring the reporting period.Significant estimates include the estimated liabilities related tovarious vendors in which communicationshave ceased,contingent liabilities, and realization of tax deferred tax assets.Actual results coulddifferfromthose estimates.
Concentration ofCredit Risk
Cashandcash equivalents aremaintained atfinancialinstitutions and, attimes, balances mayexceedfederallyinsuredlimits of $250,000 perinstitution that pays Federal DepositInsuranceCorporation(“FDIC”) insurancepremiums.The Companyhas never experienced any losses related tothese balances.
Theaccounts receivablefrom merchant services are paidby thefinancial institutions on amonthly basis. The Companycurrently uses three financial institutions toservice their merchantsfor which represented 100% ofaccounts receivable as of March 31, 2020and 2019. Theloss ofone of thesefinancial institutions would not have asignificant impact on the Company’s operations asthere areadditional financial institutions available tothe Company. Forthe three months ended March 31, 2020and2019,the one merchant (customer)represented approximately 43%and 40% ofthe totalrevenues, respectively. Theloss ofthis customerwould have significantimpactonthe Company’s operations.
Cash andCash Equivalents
The Company classifies itshighly liquidinvestments with maturities of threemonths or less at the date ofpurchaseascash equivalents. Management determines the appropriateclassification of its investments at thetimeofpurchase and reevaluatesthe designations of eachinvestment asofthe balance sheet datefor each reporting period. The Company classifies itsinvestmentsaseither short-term or long-term based on eachinstrument’s underlying contractualmaturitydate. Investmentswith maturities of less than 12months areclassified as short-term andthose with maturities greater than 12months areclassifiedas long-term. The cost ofinvestments sold is based uponthespecific identificationmethod.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable isrecorded net of anallowance for doubtful accounts,if needed. The Companyconsiders any changes tothe financial condition of itsfinancial institutions used andanyother external market factors that could impact the collectability of its receivables inthe determination of itsallowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does notexpect tohave write-offs oradjustments to accounts receivablewhich could have amaterial adverse effect on its consolidatedfinancial position, results of operations orcash flows asthe portionwhich is deemeduncollectible is already takeninto account when therevenueisrecognized.
Revenue Recognition
TheFinancial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”) issuedAccounting Standards Update(“ASU”) No. 2014-09,codified asAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC) 606 Revenue from Contractswith Customers,which provides asingle comprehensive model for entities touse inaccounting for revenue arising from contractswith customers. The Company adoptedASC 606effective January 1, 2019using modified retrospective basisand the cumulativeeffect was immaterial tothe consolidated financial statements.
The Company providesmerchant processing solutionsforcredit cardsand electronic payments. In all cases,the Company acts as an agent between themerchant which generates the credit cardand electronic payments, and the bank which processes suchpayments. TheCompany’s revenue isgenerated on services priced as apercentage of transactionvalue or aspecified fee transaction, depending onthe card ortransaction type.Revenue is recorded as services are performedwhich is typically whenthe bank processes themerchant’s credit cardand electronic payments.
The Company provides various Cloud services to business clients. Revenuesgenerated from the servicesas agreed upon in aCloud ServiceAgreement. Therevenue is recorded asthe services are performedand billed inadvanceon amonthly basis.Revenues from these servicesrepresent less than 5% ofthe Company’s total revenues.
Consideration paid tocustomers, such as amountsearned under our customer equity incentiveprogram, arerecorded as a reduction torevenues.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, FairValue Measurements andDisclosures definesfair value as the pricethat would bereceived tosellan asset or paid totransfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at themeasurement date. ASC 820 alsoestablishes afair value hierarchy thatrequires an entity tomaximize the use of observableinputs and minimize theuse ofunobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The standard describesthree levels of inputs that may be used tomeasure fairvalue:
Thefair value hierarchy prioritizesthe inputs used in valuationtechniques into three levels asfollows:
Level 1 | Observableinputs – unadjusted quoted prices inactive marketsfor identical assetsand liabilities; |
Level 2 | Observable inputs –other thanthe quoted pricesincluded inLevel 1that are observablefor the asset or liabilitythrough corroborationwith market data;and |
Level 3 | Unobservableinputs – includes amounts derived from valuationmodels where one ormore significant inputs areunobservable. |
TheCompany’s financial instruments consist of cashand cash equivalents, accounts receivable, vendordeposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, etc. Thecarrying value ofthese assets and liabilitiesisrepresentative oftheirfair market value,due tothe short maturity of these instruments.
Research and Development
In accordancewith ASC 730, Research andDevelopment (“R&D”) costs areexpensed when incurred.R&Dcosts include costs ofacquiring patents andother unproven technologies, contractorfees and other costs associatedwiththe developmentof the SMSshortcodetextingplatform,contract and other outside services. TotalR&D costsfor the three monthsended March31, 2020and2019were $12,000and $6,820,respectively.

Property and Equipment
Propertyand equipmentis recorded at cost.Expenditures for major additionsand betterments are capitalized. Maintenanceand repairs arecharged tooperations as incurred. Depreciation of propertyand equipmentiscomputedby the straight-linemethod (after taking intoaccount theirrespective estimated residual values)over the assets estimateduseful life offive (5) years. Uponsale orretirementof equipment,the related costand accumulated depreciation areremoved from the accounts and any gain orloss is reflected in the consolidatedstatements of operations.
Impairment of Long-LivedAssets
Long-lived assets are reviewedfor impairment when thereis evidencethat events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying amount of anasset orasset group may not berecoverable. Recoverability of assets to beheld and used ismeasuredbycomparing thecarrying amount of anasset orasset group to estimatedundiscounted future cash flows expected to begenerated by theasset orasset group. If the carrying amount of anasset orasset group exceeds itsestimated future cashflows,animpairment charge is recognizedfor the amountby whichthecarryingamount of the asset orasset group exceeds the estimatedfair value ofthe asset orasset group. Long-lived assets tobe disposed of bysale arereported atthe lower of theircarrying amounts or theirestimated fair values less costs to selland arenot depreciated.As of March 31, 2020and December 31,2019,there were no asset impairments.
Lease Commitment
The Company determinesif anarrangement is a lease atinception. This determination generally depends on whetherthe arrangement conveys tothe Company theright to control theuse of an explicitly or implicitlyidentified fixed assetfor a period oftimeinexchange for consideration. Control ofanunderlying asset isconveyed tothe Companyif the Company obtains therights to directthe use ofandto obtainsubstantially all of theeconomic benefits from usingthe underlying asset. The Companyhas lease agreements which include lease and non-leasecomponents, which the Companyhas elected to accountfor as asingle leasecomponent for all classes of underlying assets.Lease expense for variable lease components are recognizedwhen the obligation is probable.
Operating leaseright ofuse (“ROU”)assets and lease liabilities arerecognized atcommencement date based onthe present valueof lease paymentsover the leaseterm. Operating leasepayments arerecognized as lease expense on a straight-line basisover the leaseterm. The Company primarily leases buildings (real estate) which are classifiedas operating leases. ASC 842requires alessee to discount itsunpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicitinthe lease or, ifthat rate cannot be readilydetermined, itsincremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate isnot readily determinable in the Company’s leases,the incremental borrowing rate isused based on the information available at commencement date in determining thepresent value of leasepayments.
The lease termfor all ofthe Company’s leasesincludes the non-cancellable period ofthe leaseplus any additional periods covered byeither a Company option toextend (ornot toterminate) the lease thatthe Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option toextend (ornot toterminate) the lease controlled bythe lessor.Options for leaserenewals have been excluded from the lease term(and leaseliability) for the majority of theCompany’s leases asthe reasonably certain threshold isnot met.
Lease payments included inthe measurement ofthe lease liability arecomprised of fixedpayments, variable paymentsthat depend onindex or rate,and amounts probable to be payableunder the exercise of the Company option topurchase theunderlying assetif reasonablycertain.
Variable leasepayments not dependent on a rate orindex associatedwiththeCompany’s leases arerecognizedwhen theevent, activity, orcircumstanceinthe leaseagreementonwhich thosepayments areassessedas probable.Variable leasepaymentsarepresented as operating expenses inthe Company’sstatement of operationsin thesame line asexpensearising fromfixed leasepayments.As of March 31, 2020,management determinedthat there were no variable leasecosts.

IncomeTaxes
The Company recognizes deferred taxassets andliabilities forthe expectedfuturetax consequences of eventsthat havebeenincluded in the consolidatedfinancialstatements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based onthe differences betweenthe financial statement and tax bases of assetsandliabilities using enacted tax rates in effect forthe fiscal yearinwhichthe differences are expected toreverse.Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowancetotheextentmanagement concludes it ismorelikely thannot that the assetswill not be realized. Deferred tax assetsandliabilities aremeasured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxableincomein thefiscal yearsinwhichthosetemporary differences are expected to be recoveredorsettled. Theeffecton deferred tax assets and liabilitiesofachangein tax rates is recognized inthe consolidated statement of operations intheperiodthatincludes theenactment date.
TheCompany’s income tax returns are based on calculationsand assumptions that are subject toexaminationby the InternalRevenue Service and other taxauthorities. In addition,the calculation ofthe Company’s tax liabilitiesinvolves dealingwithuncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations.The Company recognizes liabilitiesfor uncertain tax positions based on atwo-step process.

NOTE 3 –GOING CONCERN
Asreflected in the accompanying consolidatedfinancial statements,during thethree months ended March 31, 2020and2019,the Company incurred anet lossof $1,464,050and $238,241and used cash of $190,888and $190,661 in operating activities. In addition,the Companyhad aworking capitaldeficit of $7,409,180and anaccumulated deficit of $42,224,463 atMarch 31, 2020. Thesefactors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability tocontinueas agoing concern. Wehave evaluatedthe conditions or eventsthat raisesubstantial doubt aboutthe Company’s ability as agoing concern within one year of issuance ofthe consolidatedfinancial statements.
While the Company is continuing operationsand generatingrevenues, the Company’s cash position isnot significant enough to supportthe Company’s daily operations.Tofund operations andreduce the working capitaldeficit,weintend to raise additionalfunds through public orprivate debt and/or equityofferings. During 2020,the Company raised$205,781from asale of arepurchase option tofund operations.Management believesthat the actions presently being taken tofurther implement itsbusinessplan andgenerate revenues provide the opportunityfor the Company to continue as agoing concern, however, such arenot guaranteed.While the Company believesin the viabilityofits strategy togenerate revenues and in its ability to raise additionalfunds, therecan beno assurances to thateffect, nor canthere beassurance that such fundswill be at acceptableterms. As ofthe date oftheseconsolidatedfinancial statements, the Companyhas notfinalized acommitment for additionalcapital. The ability ofthe Company tocontinue as agoing concern is dependent uponour ability tofurther implement itsbusiness planand generate revenues and cashflows. Theconsolidated financial statements donot include any adjustments thatmight be necessaryifthe Companyis unable to continue as agoing concern.
Risks and uncertainties
On January 30, 2020,the World Health Organization declaredthe coronavirus outbreak a“Public Health Emergency ofInternational Concern”and on March 10, 2020,declaredit to be apandemic. Actions takenaroundtheworldtohelp mitigate the spread of the coronavirusinclude restrictions ontravel, and quarantinesin certainareas,and forced closures for certaintypes of public placesand businesses. Thecoronavirus and actions taken tomitigate ithave had and are expected tocontinuetohave anadverse impact on theeconomies and financial markets ofmany countries, including thegeographical areain which the Company operates.Sincewe deriveour revenues from processing of purchases fromour merchant servicesclients, a downturn in economic activity,suchas associatedwith the currentcoronavirus pandemic,could reducethevolume of purchaseswe process,and thus our revenues. In addition, such a downturn could causeour merchant customers to cease operationspermanently decreasingour payment processing unless new customers arefound. We may alsoface additional difficulty in raising capitalduringan economicdownturn. Theeffects ofthe potential impact cannot beestimated atthis time.
Additionally,itis reasonably possiblethatthe estimates made in thefinancial statementshave been,orwill be materially and adversely impacted in thenearterm as a result of theseconditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
While the companyiscontinuing operations and generating revenues,thecompany’s cash position isnot significant enough to supportthe company’s daily operations.Tothe extent that additionalfunds are necessary tofinanceoperationsand meet our long-termliquidityneeds as we continue toexecute our strategy,weanticipate that they can be obtainedthrough additionalindebtedness,equity or debtissuances or both.Usingcurrently available capitalresources, management believeswecanconduct planned operations for 21days. Further, management believesweneed to raise $1.35M toremain in businessfor the next 12months.
Sincewe deriveour revenues principally from processing ofpurchases fromour merchant services clients, a downturn ineconomic activity, such as thatassociated with the current coronavirus pandemic couldreduce the volume ofpurchaseswe process,and thus our revenues. In addition,such adownturn could cause our merchant customers to cease operationspermanently decreasingour payment processing unless new customerswere found. We may alsoface additional difficulty in raising capitalduringan economicdownturn.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Therehave not beenany changes inour internal controlover financial reportingduringthe three-month periodended March 31, 2020that have materially affected, or arereasonably likely to materially affect,our internal controlover financial reporting.
Limitations on theEffectiveness of Controls
Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, aredesigned to provide areasonable, but notanabsolute, level ofassurance thatthe objectivesof the control system aremet. Further, the designof a control systemmust reflectthe fact thatthere areresource constraints, and the benefits of controlsmust beconsidered relative totheir costs. Because ofthe inherent limitationsin all controlsystems, no evaluationof controls can provideabsolute assurance that all control issuesand instancesoffraud, ifany, have been detected.Because of theinherent limitationsin any controlsystem, misstatements due to error orfraud may occur and not be detected.
