Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has $2,000 and $2,000 in cash equivalents, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates may include those pertaining to stock-based compensation, depreciable lives of fixed assets and deferred tax assets. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts by specific customer identification. If market conditions decline, actual collections may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flow and increased bad debt expense. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.

 

 

Joint Venture

Joint Venture

 

The Company uses the equity method to account for their financial interest in the following company:

 

      December 31,       December 31,  
      2021       2020  
                 
iGrow Systems Inc. (a)   $ -     $ -  
Total   $ -     $ -  

 

The Company is a 43.15% owner of iGrow Systems Inc., as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively.

 

The Company has a non-controlling interest in iGrow Systems, Inc., a Limited Partnership Corporation formed to develop a rapid plant growing device. Some of the members participate in the project which is under the general management of the members.

 

Summary information on the joint venture at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2021     2020  
             
Total Assets   $ -     $ 4,497  
Total Liabilities     239,671       278,871  
Shareholders’ Deficit     (239,671 )     (274,374 )
                 
Income     -       -  
Expenses     (29,559 )     219,027  
Net Income (Loss)   $ 29,559   $ (219,027 )

 

The Company’s portion of the net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $10,597 and the contributed capital of $5,143 to iGrow Systems, Inc. by the Company, which exceeded its investment in the joint venture by $101,838 as of December 31, 2021, which is recorded as accumulated losses of unconsolidated investees in excess of investment on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for its revenues under FASB ASC 606, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) Identify the Contract with a Customer, (2) Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract, (3) Determine the Transaction Price, (4) Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract, and (5) Recognize Revenue When (or As) the Entity Satisfies a Performance Obligation.

 

The Company recognizes consulting income when the services are performed, which occurs at a point in time. Additionally, at the time services are performed, the Company has satisfied its single performance obligation .

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

 

Management has evaluated and concluded that there are no material tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s, 2018, 2019, and 2020 tax returns remain open for audit for Federal and State taxing authorities.

 

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

 

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

 

The Company accounts for marketable and available-for-sale securities under ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in Bang Holdings, Corp as available-for-sale securities, therefore, the unrealized (gain) loss on the available-for-sale securities has been recorded in other income (expenses) on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in EZFill Holdings, Inc. as available-for-sale securities pursuant to the S-1 Registration Statement declared effective on September 14, 2021, therefore, the unrealized (gain) loss on the available-for-sale securities during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, has been recorded in Other Income (Expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.

When the fair value of an investment is indeterminable, the Company accounts for its investments that are under 20% of the total equity outstanding using the cost method. For investments in which the Company holds between 20-50% equity and is non-controlling are accounted for using the equity method. For any investments in which the Company holds over 50% of the outstanding stock, the Company consolidates those entities into their consolidated financial statements herein.

 

The Company holds two investments on its consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

As a result of becoming a publicly traded company, our investment is now recorded at fair value as available-for-sale securities on December 31, 2021, with the gains and losses being recorded through other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. In September 2021, EZFill Holdings, Inc. approved a one for 3.763243 reverse stock split. As a result, the Company’s shares were adjusted to 265,728 shares.

 

On November 18, 2021, on the anniversary of the agreement, the Company received 132,864 (post reverse split adjusted) shares of common stock having a fair value of $352,090 ($2.65/share), based on the closing trading price.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and warrants from convertible debentures outstanding during the periods. The effect of 40,000 warrants and 3,526,378 shares issuable from convertible notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2021 were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. The effect of 640,000 warrants for the year ended December 31, 2020 were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as they were not in the money.

 

The table below details the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the years ended December 31, 2020.

 

    For the  
    year ended  
    December 31, 2020  
Net income attributable to common stockholder   $ 357,757  
         
Weighted average number of shares outstanding     21,674,000  
         
Basic earnings per share   $ 0.02  

 

The following tables are for the computation of diluted earnings per share:

 

    For the  
    year ended  
    December 31, 2020  
Net income attributable to common stockholder   $ 357,757  
Add: Interest expense attributable to convertible debt     67,800  
         
Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholder   $ 425,557  
         
Weighted average number of shares outstanding     21,674,000  
Add: Shares issued upon conversion of debt     3,244,743

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.

 

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term used for warrants is the contractual life. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
   
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

The following table presents certain assets of the Company’s measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2021.

 

    Total     (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)  
Fair-value – equity securities   $ 550,057     $ 550,057     $         -     $       -

The Company accounts for its investment in EzFill Holdings, Inc. (“EzFill”) as available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company reclassified its EzFill investment of $550,057 of available-for-sale securities previously reported as Level 3 to Level 1 assets on the fair value hierarchy because the investment is valued based on quoted market price using observable inputs.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in Bang Holdings, Corp as available-for-sale securities as level 3 due to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists. The investment in Bang Holdings Corp. was fully impaired due to the Company being delisted from OTC Pink Sheets and not having a liquid trading market at that time. The Company recorded an impairment expense of $195,000.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, have been released in November 2018 (2018-19), November 2019 (2019-10 and 2019-11) and a January 2020 Update (2020-02) that provided additional guidance on this Topic. This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For SEC filers meeting certain criteria, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. For SEC filers that meet the criteria of a smaller reporting company (including this Company) and for non-SEC registrant public companies and other organizations, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of its analysis of the impact of this guidance on its financial statements, however, the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This guidance, among other provisions, eliminates certain exceptions to existing guidance related to the approach for intra period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in its effective income tax rate in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation, aligning the timing of recognition of the effects from enacted tax law changes on the effective income tax rate with the effects on deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Under existing guidance, an entity recognizes the effects of the enacted tax law change on the effective income tax rate in the period that includes the effective date of the tax law. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, to reduce complexity in applying U.S. GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
