PEARTRACK SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 1. OVERVIEW
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., (the Company or PearTrack) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates .
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2014. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements have been omitted.
PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 2005, is a security and logistics company headquartered in Santa Monica, CA. The Company is currently structured with three wholly owned subsidiaries: PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., Ecologic Products, Inc., and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc., all Nevada corporations. PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd. (PTSG), is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay area of California, with offices in Manchester, England. The Companys current business activities are diversified into two specific markets: remote/mobile asset tracking and environmental transportation and products.
·
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., the Company intends to provide a suite of products in the M2M telematics and remote/mobile asset tracking and management industry, including a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking system and tracking devices with a proprietary long-life battery system for non-powered assets.
·
Through the subsidiaries, Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc., the Company continues its pursuits for viable environmental rental car opportunities, and its marketing and distribution endeavors for its environmental products. The Company anticipates that it will spin-out Ecologic Car Rentals and Ecologic Products, Inc. to its shareholders prior to the end of 2015.
The Companys primary focus is on the development and commercialization of its proprietary battery system in conjunction with its GPS tracking and management technologies. The Companys vertically integrated activities, spanning from hardware design, software development, marketing and sales, to project implementation and system operations, aim to make logistics chains more secure and increase operational efficiency. The Company continues to pursue wholesale distribution opportunities for the Ecologic Shine ® product, including product placement into major retail automotive chains. The Company is also developing a business plan for the retail distribution of the Ecologic Shine ® product line in anticipation of spinning the operating subsidiary out to Shareholders.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $12,206,863, and a working capital deficit of $3,421,129, and further losses are anticipated. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation : This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Companys financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
The Companys fiscal year end is December 31.
Principles of Consolidation : The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., Ecologic Products, Inc. and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents : The Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation : Items included in the financial statements of the Companys subsidiary are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is the Companys reporting currency.
The results and financial position of PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, has a functional currency different from the reporting currency, and is translated into the reporting currency as follows:
(i) |
assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; |
(ii) |
income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates on a monthly basis; and |
(iii) |
all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity. |
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement as other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are taken to stockholders equity. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, exchange differences of $4,541 and $4,314 have been accumulated.
5
Use of Estimates : The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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 period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the, estimates related to asset impairments of long lived assets and investments, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share : The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by ASC 450-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) : ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized $12,346 and $99,417 in comprehensive losses, and has included these amounts as part of other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying statement of operations.
Revenue Recognition : The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured. As at March 31, 2015, the Company has not commenced its principal operations.
The Company has continuing revenue from limited customer contracts for its PearTrack tracking units and system, and has made limited sales of its Ecologic Shine ® product. In addition, the Company provides consulting services as an additional revenue source.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of : In accordance with ASC 350-30, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company currently believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Companys products will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.
Due to the Companys recurring losses, its intellectual properties were evaluated for impairment and it was determined that future cash flows were sufficient for recoverability of the assets.
Income Taxes : Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for these net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. To the extent that the Company will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.
Stock Based Compensation : The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments , using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Fair Value Measurements : Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments , an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 |
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 |
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |
Level 3 |
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Investments in Securities : Investments in securities are accounted for using the equity method if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee's Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method is appropriate. All other equity investments, which consist of investments for which the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the mark to market method. Under the mark to market method of accounting, investments are marked to market, with unrealized gains and losses being excluded from earnings and reflected as a component of other comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements : The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has recently adopted the following new accounting standards:
Adopted :
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance is the culmination of the FASBs deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When Net Operating Loss Carryforward Exists. The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No, 2014-10, Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements for Development Stage Entities. The objective of ASU 2014-10 is to reduce the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities. This Update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements, and eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810. The amendments in this standard are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted.
Not Yet Adopted :
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The objective of ASU No. 2014-08 is to clarify the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and also modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for new disposals beginning in the first quarter of 2014, provided financial statements have not been issued before the release of this standard. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance in GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting. The objective of ASU 2014-17 is to provide guidance on whether and at what threshold an acquired entity that is a business or nonprofit activity can apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-17 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01 Income StatementExtraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates : Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Environmental Transportation and Products
Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc., the Company continues to focus on the development of an environmental car rental operation. The Company is currently pursuing viable opportunities within the car rental industry to develop and establish its own brand as a premier green car rental company offering environmentally-friendly vehicles.
The Company plans to acquire existing profitable independent car rental operations on a multi-regional basis and convert their operations to an Ecologic platform. The Company has identified certain independent car rental operations that would provide a multi-regional presence, and that can be used as a platform to become the only large green independent car rental operation in the U.S.
The Company believes that the growth in demand for environmentally friendly cars, and the increase in major automakers production of new eco-friendly car models, has created a unique opportunity for an environmentally-friendly transportation company. The strategy is to identify and acquire existing profitable independent car rental operations on a multi-regional basis, and convert their operations to an Ecologic platform. By initially co-branding with acquired companies for a limited period of time, the rebranding transition to green outlets as Ecologic Car Rentals can ultimately be completed. The comprehensive business strategy capitalizes on this unique opportunity, and the business model supports growth, while holding true to its planet-friendly mission.
Ecologic Products, Inc.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ecologic Products, Inc., the Company continues its development of ecologically friendly products. Initially, the Companys product line will be focused on transportation and its ancillary markets.

Good for the vehicle |
· |
Good for the customer |
· |
Good for the bottom line |

The Company is also developing a business plan for the retail distribution of the Ecologic Shine ® product line in anticipation of spinning the operating subsidiary out to Shareholders.
Ecologic Products, Inc. has had some success in its 3-year waterless car wash trial, undertaken in conjunction with Park N Fly in Atlanta, GA, and Los Angeles, CA, at Hartsfield International Airport and LAX International Airport, respectively.

12
On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into a non-disclosure Agreement with SEaB Energy, Ltd., a Southampton, United Kingdom Waste-to-Energy Company. SEaB Energy develops Waste-to-Energy systems deploying a containerized advanced digestion (AD) process. The process will, by stabilizing organic wastes, generate biogas (that will be combusted within CHP engines to generate electricity) and a digestate that will be employed as an organic fertilizer. In June 2014, the Companys Chairman and SEaBs CEO met in London to discuss ways in which the Company could develop a business for SEaBs two primary products, the Muckbuster ® and the Flexibuster © , in the United States. The Company worked to develop a plan to install the Muckbuster ® product at Kennesaw State University, located in the greater Atlanta, Georgia, area. After review, discussion and due diligence it was decided that the quantity of bio waste that could be utilized by the Muckbuster ® system was not large enough in daily volume to make the economics work. The Company will continue to seek to identify opportunities for the SEaB product line, and will review its efforts at the end of the 2nd quarter 2015.
On June 15, 2014, the Company entered into a non-disclosure agreement with SheerWind, Inc., a Minnesota based innovative wind turbine company. The discussions with SheerWind were preliminary and did not move past the exchange of private information.
On June 26, 2014, the Company entered into a non-disclosure agreement with AquaFuel, Ltd., a Kent, United Kingdom based fuel technology company that has developed the first diesel generator to run on glycerin. Management negotiated, drafted and presented a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire an exclusive license for the United States. The Companys Chairman visited the AquaFuel headquarters for the purpose of demonstration of the AquaFuel generators and related due diligence. The Companys due diligence indicated that the current development of glycerin as a fuel was unlikely to be attractive to the marketplace. The Company is researching alternative bio fuel products that could work with the AquaFuel generators.
Planned Spin Offs
Although the Company continues to develop its environmental transportation business through Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc., the Company and its board of directors feel the subsidiaries will be able to operate more effectively independently, with the goal of attracting new capital and exploiting their existing business, and will have the flexibility to establish new relationships in order to achieve their respective goals of generating shareholder value.
As such, the Company intends to effect spin-offs of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc. The terms of the spin-offs include the distribution of a stock dividend of 57,065,061 shares of Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. common stock, and 57,065,061 shares of Ecologic Products, Inc. common stock, to the Companys shareholders of record (excluding the former shareholders of PTSG) on the Record Date of December 15, 2014, on a pro rata basis. Subsequent to the spin-offs, Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc. will operate as entities independent of the Company, under the leadership of Mr. William B. Nesbitt, who will serve as President and CEO of the companies.
The Company believes that, as independent companies, Ecologic Products, Inc. and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. can promote and brand themselves so as to operate successfully. Mr. William B. Nesbitt will remain as President and CEO of both companies.

Contractual Obligations
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $12,206,863, and a working capital deficit of $3,421,129, and further losses are anticipated. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that the Companys assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Companys financial statements is critical to an understanding of the Companys financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260-10). Net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the Companys stock options and warrants.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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 period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the, estimates related to asset impairments of long lived assets and investments, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all applicable recognition criteria have been met, which generally include (a) persuasive evidence of an existing arrangement; (b) fixed or determinable price; (c) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered; and (d) collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.
15
The Companys revenue stream has been from Ecologic Shine ® , the initial product marketed through the Companys subsidiary Ecologic Products, Inc. The Company has made limited sales to certain retail automobile maintenance chains for the purpose of product testing.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments , using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has recently adopted the following new accounting standards:
Adopted :
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance is the culmination of the FASBs deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When Net Operating Loss Carryforward Exists. The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No, 2014-10, Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements for Development Stage Entities. The objective of ASU 2014-10 is to reduce the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities. This Update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements, and eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810. The amendments in this standard are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted.
Not Yet Adopted :
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The objective of ASU No. 2014-08 is to clarify the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and also modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for new disposals beginning in the first quarter of 2014, provided financial statements have not been issued before the release of this standard. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance in GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting. The objective of ASU 2014-17 is to provide guidance on whether and at what threshold an acquired entity that is a business or nonprofit activity can apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-17 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01 Income StatementExtraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Managements Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, the Companys management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Companys management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of March 31, 2015, the end of the Companys period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Companys president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2015, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
