PAID, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2020
 
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
PAID, Inc. (“PAID”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) has developed AuctionInc, which is a suite of online shipping and tax management tools assisting businesses with e-commerce storefronts, shipping solutions, tax calculation, inventory management, and auction processing. The product has tools to assist with other aspects of the fulfillment process, but the main purpose of the product is to provide accurate shipping and tax calculations and packaging algorithms that provide customers with the best possible shipping and tax solutions.
 
BeerRun Software (“BeerRun”) is a brewery management and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau tax reporting software. Small craft brewers can utilize the product to manage brewery schedules, inventory, packaging, sales and purchasing. Tax reporting can be processed with a single click and is fully customizable by state or providence. The software is designed to integrate with QuickBooks accounting platforms by using our powerful sync engine. We currently offer two versions of the software BeerRun and BeerRun Light which excludes some of the enhanced features of BeerRun without disrupting the core functionality of the software. Additional features include Brewpad and Kegmaster and can be added on to the base product. Craft brewing is on the rise in the United States and we feel that there is a large potential to grow this portion of our business.
 
ShipTime Canada Inc. (“ShipTime”) has developed a SaaS-based application, which focuses on the small and medium business segments. This offering allows members to quote, process, generate labels, dispatch and track courier and LTL shipments all from a single interface. The application provides customers with a choice of today’s leading couriers and freight carriers all with discounted pricing allowing members to save on every shipment. ShipTime can also be integrated into on-line shopping carts to facilitate sales via e-commerce. We actively sell directly to small and medium businesses and through long standing partnerships with selected associations throughout Canada. 
 
Paid Payments provides commerce solutions to small - and medium-sized businesses by enabling them to sell their goods and services, accept payment, and create repeat sales though an online payment processing solution. The Company has operated as a Payment Facilitator since 2019, which enables our merchants to get the benefit of instant boarding and discounted rates. Our platform provides all aspects required for payment processing, including merchant boarding, underwriting, fraud monitoring, settlement, funding to the sub-merchant, and monthly reporting and statements. The Company controls all of these necessary aspects in the payment process and is then able to supply a one-step boarding process for our partners and value-added resellers. This capability also provides cost advantages, rapid response to market needs, simplified processes for boarding business and a seamless interface for our merchant customers.
 
General Presentation and Basis of Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 that was filed on March 30, 2020.
 
In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited consolidated financial statements, and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2020.
 
Going Concern and Management's Plan
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generally incurred losses, although it has taken significant steps to reduce them. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $113,242. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $67,506,479 and has a working capital deficit of $410,572 as of March 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Management believes that the continued growth of the new PAID platform of services in addition to the continued profitability of ShipTime’s services will return a valuable impact on the Company’s success in the near future. The ongoing positive cash flows from operations are a significant indicator of our successful transition to the new shipping services. In addition to the existing services provided, ShipTime will launch products in the United States that are complementary to the current offerings.
 
Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes that the above management plan will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements and will have a positive impact on the Company for 2020 and future years.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PAID, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, PAID Run, LLC and ShipTime Canada, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Foreign Currency
 
The currency of ShipTime, the Company’s international subsidiary, is in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities is included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
Geographic Concentrations
 
The Company conducts business in the U.S. and Canada. For customers headquartered in their respective countries, the Company derived approximately 95% of its revenues from Canada and 5% from the U.S. during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 96% from Canada and 4% from the U.S. during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
 
At March 31, 2020, the Company maintained 100% of its property and equipment net of accumulated depreciation in Canada.
 
Right of Use Assets
 
A right-of-use asset represents a lessee’s right to use a leased asset for the term of the lease. Our right-of-use assets generally consist of an operating lease for a building.
 
Right-of-use assets are measured initially at the present value of the lease payments, plus any lease payments made before a lease began and any initial direct costs, such as commissions paid to obtain a lease.
 
Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for incentives, prepaid or accrued rent, and any initial direct costs not yet expensed.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flow from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value of the related asset. No impairment charges were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates revenue principally from fees for coordinating shipping services, sales of shipping calculator subscriptions, brewery management software subscriptions, merchant processing services and client services.
 
 
-6-
 
 
Nature of Goods and Services
 
For label generation service revenues the Company recognizes revenue when a customer has successfully prepared a shipping label and scheduled a pickup. Customers with pickups after the end of the reporting period are recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The service is offered to consumers via an online registration and allows users to create a shipping label using a credit card on their account (all customers must have a valid credit card on file to process shipments on the ShipTime platform).
 
For shipping calculator revenues and brewery management software revenues, the Company recognizes subscription revenue on a monthly basis. Shipping calculator customers’ renewal dates are based on their date of installation and registration of the shipping calculator line of products. The timing of the revenue recognition and cash collection may vary within a given quarter and the deposits for future services are recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Brewery management software subscribers are billed monthly at the first of the month. All payments are made via credit card for the following month.
 
For payment processing services the Company recognizes revenue based on daily transactions by our partners and merchants. Customers process credit card payments for sales and remit fees based on the number of transactions and percent of the processed amounts. The merchant bank deposits the funds to the customer net of fees. The remainder of the fees withheld are disbursed to the Company on a daily basis net of interchange and other transactional charges.
 
Revenue Disaggregation
 
The Company operates in five reportable segments (see below).
 
Performance Obligations
 
At contract inception, an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is identified for each distinct promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been met, which is when the customer has successfully prepared a shipping label and scheduled a pickup for shipping coordination and label generation services. The Company considers control to have transferred at that time because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the Company has provided the shipping label, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the shipping label.
 
For arrangements under which the Company provides a subscription for shipping calculator services and brewery management software, the Company satisfies its performance obligations over the life of the subscription, typically twelve months or less.
 
Customers of PaidPayments receive a merchant identification number which allows them to process credit card transactions. Once the transaction is approved the funds are disbursed in an overnight feed and the Company had met its performance obligation.
 
The Company has no shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers.
 
Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to government authorities.
 
 
Significant Payment Terms
 
Pursuant to the Company’s contracts with its customers, amounts are collected up front primarily through credit/debit card transactions. Accordingly, the Company determined that its contracts with customers do not include extended payment terms or a significant financing component.

Variable Consideration
 
In some cases, the nature of the Company’s contracts may give rise to variable consideration, including rebates and cancellations or other similar items that generally decrease the transaction price.
 
Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.
 
Revenues are recorded net of variable consideration, such as rebates and cancellations.
   
Warranties
 
The Company’s products and services are provided on an “as is” basis and no warranties are included in the contracts with customers. Also, the Company does not offer separately priced extended warranty or product maintenance contracts.
 
Contract Assets
 
Typically, the Company has already collected revenue from the customer at the time it has satisfied its performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company has only a small balance of accounts receivable, totaling $150,593 and $131,561 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Generally, the Company does not have material amounts of contract assets since revenue is recognized as control of goods is transferred or as services are performed.
 
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
 
Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance (including rebates). Contract liabilities were $6,180 and $5,338 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenues of $5,338 related to contract liabilities outstanding at the beginning of the year.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share represent income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result from the assumed issuance. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were approximately 48,000 and 52,000, respectively, dilutive shares that were excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effect would have been antidilutive for the periods then ended.
 
The Company computes its loss applicable to common shareholders by adding/subtracting dividends on preferred stock, including undeclared or unpaid dividends if cumulative, and any deemed dividends or discounts on redeemed preferred stock from its reported net loss and reports the same on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Segment Reporting
 
The Company reports information about segments of its business in its annual consolidated financial statements and reports selected segment information in its quarterly reports issued to shareholders. The Company also reports on its entity-wide disclosures about the products and services it provides and reports revenues and its major customers. The Company’s five reportable segments are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their operations. At March 31, 2020, the Company operated in the following five reportable segments:
 
a.
Client services
b.
Shipping calculator services
c.
Brewery management software
d.
Merchant processing services; and
e.
Shipping coordination and label generation services
 
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in this summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the interim Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected credit loss model which will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which improved the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2018-13 had no impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
 
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which costs and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The amendments for ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. An entity that elects to early adopt must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Notes Payable
 
In August 2018, the Company entered into a note payable with a shareholder to repurchase common and preferred shares. The note was an interest-free, six-month note for CAD $122,400 with payment terms of six equal installments of CAD $20,400. This note was paid in full in the first quarter of 2019.
 
Stock Price Guarantee
 
In connection with one of the Company’s advance royalties with a client, the Company guaranteed that shares of its common stock issued as royalties would sell for at least $60.00 per share.  If the shares were not at the required $60.00 per share when they were sold, the Company had the option of issuing additional shares at their fair value or making cash payments for the difference between the guaranteed price per share and the fair value of the stock.  The change in fair value of the guarantee was ($6,414) for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company would have disputed this obligation if demanded by the client; further, pursuing any action by the client was required to be commenced within six years of the time of the original issuance and the Company believes the time for pursuing an action expired in 2019. As a result of the expiration, the Company eliminated this obligation from its consolidated balance sheet and recorded $880,553 in other income during the year ended December 31, 2019.
 
Legal Matters
 
In the normal course of business, the Company periodically becomes involved in litigation. As of March 31, 2020, in the opinion of management, the Company had no pending litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
Indemnities and Guarantees
 
The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has agreed to indemnify its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreements. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 5. Shareholders’ Equity
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company’s amended Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock at $0.001 par value. The Board of Directors will be authorized to fix the designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series of the preferred stock.
 
The Company filed a Certificate of Designations effective on December 30, 2016 which sets aside 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock holders have no voting or conversion rights. The Series A Preferred Stock also carries a coupon payment obligation of 1.5% of the liquidation value per share ($3.03) per year in cash or additional Series A Preferred Stock, calculated by taking the 30-day average closing price for a share of common stock for the month immediately preceding the coupon payment date which is made annually. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the estimated portion of the annual coupon is $28,532 and $42,971, respectively. If purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired (other than conversion), the preferred stock may be reissued. In April 2019, the Company paid the annual coupon in cash for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company paid the 2018 and 2019 coupon payments totaling $358,638 in 126,727 preferred shares and a cash payment of $26,252 for the 2020 coupon payment through March of 2020. During 2019, the Board of Directors satisfied 2018 accrued Executive Compensation by means of issuance of 653,866 preferred shares valued at $83,221. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, all but 439,805 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged for common stock (see below and Note 7). At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock was $1,323,609 and $13,808,610, respectively.
 
Common Stock
 
In February 2020, ShipTime amended its rights to exchange one share of ShipTime stock from 45 PAID common shares and 311 PAID Series A Preferred Stock to 356 PAID common shares. As a result, certain ShipTime exchangeable shareholders exercised their rights to receive 1,461,078 shares of PAID Series A Preferred Stock for 1,461,078 shares of PAID common stock. At the same time, the Company made available to its Series A Preferred Stock shareholders the option to exchange existing Series A preferred shares for PAID common shares. The exchange was offered on a one-to-one basis. Shareholders holding 576,046 shares of Series A Preferred Stock exchanged such shares for 576,045 shares of PAID common stock. Furthermore, as a result of the amended exchange rights, the Company reflected an additional exchange of PAID Series A Preferred Stock shares totaling 2,089,298 to PAID common shares, representing the additional amount of PAID common shares that will be issued to the ShipTime shareholders upon the exchange. In total, the Company has reserved for future issuance 2,391,608 shares of PAID common stock with respect to the remaining 6,718 exchangeable shares to be issued as a result of the ShipTime acquisition which are considered issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2020 for financial reporting purposes.
 
Share-based Incentive Plans
 
The Company has a 2018 Stock Option Plan which reserves 450,000 non-qualified stock options to be granted to employees. The Company has three additional stock option plans that include both incentive and non-qualified stock options to be granted to certain eligible employees, non-employee directors, or consultants of the Company. The Company granted 15,000 stock options to one employee during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The options have vesting period of one-third immediately, one-third in 18 months, and one-third in 36 months from the date of the grant, they expire if not exercised within ten years from grant date, and the exercise price is $2.92 per share. The Company granted 1,245 stock options to one employee during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The options have vesting period of one-third immediately, one-third in 18 months, and one-third in 36 months from the date of the grant, they expire if not exercised within ten years from grant date, and the exercise price is $3.50 per share. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a reversal of unvested stock option expense for the termination of a non-employee consultant’s 25,000 stock options totaling $44,167 and $43,067 of stock compensation expense related to the vesting of applicable options granted in 2019 and prior years. The Company granted 119,775 stock options to three directors and four employees during the third quarter. There were 77,275 stock options granted to the directors and one employee that vested immediately, the remaining three employees received 42,500 stock options with a vesting period of one-third immediately, one-third in 18 months, and one-third in 36 months from the date of the grant. All stock options granted in the third quarter expire if not exercised within ten years from grant date, and the exercise price ranges from $2.96 to $3.00 per share.
 
For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $14,291 of stock compensation expense related to the vesting of applicable options granted in 2019 and prior years in addition to the reversal of unvested stock option expense for the termination of two employees totaling $35,080.
 
Note 6. Leases
 
We have an operating lease for our corporate offices in Canada and finance leases for furniture and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of seven months to forty-one months, and our primary operating leases include options to extend the leases for four years. Future renewal options that are not likely to be executed as of the balance sheet date are excluded from right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities.
 
We report operating leased assets, as well as operating lease current and noncurrent obligations on our balance sheets for the right to use the building in our business. Our finance leases represent furniture and office equipment; we report the furniture and equipment, as well as finance lease current and noncurrent obligations on our balance sheet.
 
Generally, interest rates are stated in our leases for equipment. When no interest rate is stated in a lease, however, we review the interest rates implicit in our recent finance leases to estimate our incremental borrowing rate. We determine the rate implicit in a lease by using the most recent finance lease rate, or other method we think most closely represents our incremental borrowing rate.

 Note 7. Subsequent Events
 
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was first reported in Wuhan, China. Less than four months later, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. The Company is currently analyzing the potential impacts to all of its business segments. At this time, it is not possible to determine the magnitude of the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business. However, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and cash flows. 
 
In April 2020, the Company received requests to exchange the remaining 439,805 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to PAID common stock. As of May 15, 2020, there are no remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q, and has determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto, other than as disclosed herein.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) regarding PAID, Inc. (the “Company”) and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates", "could", "may", "should", "will", "would", and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements in this report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as the development of new services, technology enhancements, purchase of equipment, credit arrangements, possible changes in legislation and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.
 
Although forward-looking statements in this quarterly report reflect the good faith judgment of the Company's management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by the Company. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, contingencies and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from results and outcomes discussed in this report. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that its plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. For a more complete discussion of these risk factors, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors", in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 that was filed on March 30, 2020.
 
For example, the Company's ability to maintain positive cash flow and to become profitable may be adversely affected as a result of a number of factors that could thwart its efforts. These factors include the Company's inability to successfully implement the Company's business and revenue model, higher costs than anticipated, the Company's inability to sell its products and services to a sufficient number of customers, the introduction of competing products or services by others, the Company's failure to attract sufficient interest in, and traffic to, its site, the Company's inability to complete development of its products, the failure of the Company's operating systems, and the Company's inability to increase its revenues as rapidly as anticipated. If the Company is not profitable in the future, it will not be able to continue its business operations.
 
Except as required by applicable laws, we do not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements we make to reflect new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are urged to review carefully and to consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this Quarterly Report, which attempts to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included in our Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2020, as updated and amended in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. However, certain of our accounting policies, most notably with respect to revenue recognition, are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management; as a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management makes estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. Those estimates and judgments are based upon our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information that we obtain from our customers and outside sources, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $500,882 at March 31, 2020, compared to $475,881 at December 31, 2019. The Company had a negative working capital of $410,572 at March 31 2019, a change of $12,681 compared to $397,891 at December 31, 2019.

There can be no assurance that anticipated growth will occur, and that the Company will be successful in launching new products and services. If necessary, management will seek alternative sources of capital to support operations.
