DCLT Data Call Technologies Inc (PK)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization, Ownership and Business

Data Call Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 2002. The Company's mission is to integrate cutting-edge information delivery solutions that are currently deployed by the media, and put them within the control of retail and commercial enterprises. The Company's software and services put its clients in control of real-time advertising, news, and other content, including emergency alerts.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rules of Regulation S-X, the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes have been condensed and do not contain certain information that will be included in the Company's annual financial statements and footnotes thereto. For further information, refer to the Company's audited financial statements and related footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Revenue Recognition

Company recognizes revenues based on monthly fees for services provided to customers. Some customers prepay for annual services and the Company defers such amounts and amortizes them into revenues as the service is provided.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer's trade accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful trade eceivables was $0 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as we believe all of our receivables are fully collectable.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized as a component of other income or expense. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3-5 years) using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Advertising Costs

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Product Development Costs

Product development costs consist of cost incurred to develop the Company's website and software for internal and external use. All product development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. 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 period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

Convertible debt includes conversion terms that are considered in the money compared to the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement. The Company calculates the beneficial conversion feature and records a debt discount with the amount being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

Management's Estimates and Assumptions

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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with "FASB ASC 718-10." Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line amortization method over the vesting period.

Common Stock Split

On September 13, 2016 we declared a reverse split of our common stock. The formula provided that every thirty (30) issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation be automatically split into one (1) share of common stock. Except as otherwise noted, all share, option and warrant numbers have been restated to give retroactive effect to this split. All per share disclosures retroactively reflect post-split shares.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumption and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The interest rates payable by the Company on its notes payable approximate market rates. The Company believes that the fair value of its financial instruments comprising accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted an accounting standard for applying fair value measurements to certain assets, liabilities and transactions that are periodically measured at fair value. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are routinely recognized or disclosed at fair value. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities, and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The fair value accounting standard creates a three level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The following table presents the Company's Assets & Liabilities within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Overview

What Is Digital Signage?

LED and LCD displays are continually replacing printed marketing materials such as signs and placards, as well as the old-fashioned whiteboard, for product and corporate branding, marketing and assisted selling. The appeal of instantly updating product videos and promotional messages on one or a thousand remotely located displays is driving the adoption of this exciting marketing tool. Digital Signage presentations are typically comprised of repeating loops of information used to brand, market or sell the owner's products and services. But once viewed, this information becomes repetitive and the viewer tunes it out, resulting in low retention of the client's message. As digital signage "comes of age," the dynamic characteristics of the digital signage presentations has taken center-stage requiring fresh, relevant and updated dynamic content.

Digital Signage Comes of Age

We believe that the Digital Signage industry is "coming of age" and that Data Call through multiple industry relationships has been engaged in the business for more than a decade. Our company has virtually been there from the start and is in in a prime position to enjoy and benefit from our industry's growth. A few short years ago, a business wanting to derive commercial benefit from use of digital signage was often confronted with a myriad of hardware and software companies, all offering their own version of what digital signage should be. Typical customers for digital signage were most-often offered the hardware for digital signage but without the full package of content with which to build and tailor their systems for their target customer base.

Those early digital signage customers often had to deal with the fact that their digital signage hardware vendors lacked the know-how to provide them with the "do's and don'ts" of content development. However, from our inception, Data Call recognized that our competitors and their typical customers lacked a key component which includes the offering of a comprehensive content package.

Recently, as the cost of platforms supporting content management infrastructure and displays have fallen significantly, digital signage has become more accessible to a wider range of potential users while the growing Kiosk market has cross-pollinated with Digital Signage. Companies in our industry have come to understand as we have understood almost since our inception in 2002, that the benefit that Data Call provides to our customers, in the form of ongoing content development (dynamic content) is expected to continue to provide our customers with desirable services. Content needs to stay fresh. Data Call has automated this process for their subscribers. As the cost of deployment has decreased, Data Call has continued to focus, as well as other providers have only begun focusing, on offering "attention-grabbing content" as a means of drawing target customers' attention to the core message of clients, thereby keeping their target customers engaged throughout Digital Signage and Kiosk presentations.

The Need for Speed-Active Content

Active and dynamic content is the integral part of digital signage presentations that must be constantly updated with timely and relevant information in order to attract and retain target customers to the product and service offered by clients. For instance, a typical presentation may contain ten 15-second loops that provide the primary message of the presentation, but the active dynamic content, such as that provided by Data Call, is updated with new information throughout the day. Those seeking to add active and dynamic content to their digital signage presentations are advised to employ Data Call's integrated content rather than attempting to "cut and paste" broadcast content of others into their digital signage presentation.

Our clients, by integrating Data Call's active content as a meaningful component of their digital signage presentations, can provide the entertainment and information content necessary to enhance the target customer's information retention without disrupting the core message of the presentation. Information categories provided by Data Call include news, weather, sports, financial data and the latest traffic alerts, among others. With such a broad range of offerings, our clients have access to the active and dynamic content they need, regardless of the target customers and market they are addressing.

Our Business Opportunities

Our many opportunities for client development in the digital signage industry are growing virtually exponentially. While many companies in our industry have traditionally outsourced all or part of their content creation, Data Call serves as a provider of dynamic active content to clients on a tailored basis. Whether a client desires general entertainment information for customers, such as news, sports, stock market quotes, etc. or location-specific content, such as local weather, traffic, product sales and specials, etc., our research has validated our long-held assumption that dynamic content draws and retains our clients' target viewers to their digital signage and keeps them engaged throughout the presentation.

Since our inception, management has developed strong relationships working with the leaders in digital signage. Collaborative efforts successfully created the data formats and means of communication to facilitate the delivery of our dynamic content more easily and efficiently by our clients for integration into their hardware and software products, setting industry standards.

Partners, Not Customers

Data Call's approach to our clients is to build long-lasting partnerships by creating client relationships that we believe are unique in the digital signage industry. We do this because we understand that each client has its own content requirement. In developing dynamic content for individual digital signage clients, we have identified three content-related factors: (i) reliability; (ii) objectivity; and (iii) ease of implementation. To address the reliability requirement, we have elected to enter into license arrangements with the leading providers of news, weather, sports and financial information, among other client-desired content rather than either: (i) downloading and repackaging content sourced from the Internet (which may be illegal); or (ii) pulling RSS feeds (which may come and go at the provider's whim). Licensing data from these premier providers has also served us by satisfying the second criteria, objectivity. Because it is commonly recognized that Internet content may often be unreliable, unverifiable and biased, we have determined that we could not simply use unfiltered Internet content for delivery to our clients. To achieve ease of implementation, our licensing of data facilitates the ease of delivery to and implementation and use by our client/partners. Data Call has understood that it's Digital Signage and Kiosk clients needed more complete service than to endeavor the sourcing of active content from multiple vendors. As a result, our flexible content packages permit our clients to do "one stop shopping" for all of their dynamic content requirements by a single sublicense from us. Ease of implementation also would require that the multiple formats of all Data Call's data providers be distilled into a single, usable format.

We enable our clients to receive customized dynamic content which may be displayed in a multitude of ways (banners, tickers, scrolls or artistically integrated with the overall presentations). We have created and produced multiple sets of common data layouts in the industry-standard XML (extensible markup language) format inclusive of MRSS. With the advent of HTML5, even more delivery methods have been made available to our clients, many of whom have found these new formats to be easily integrated into their products. Nevertheless, we have also produced customized data formats to the exact and specific requirements of our clients/partners, which, we believe ensures a higher level of reliability and ease of integration.

Market demand, opportunity and technology converge at a single point in time, and Data Call is there. Our integrity continues to build our business. Digital signage platforms are evolving to meet mass market requirements, costs for hardware and software are falling to the point of becoming commodities and the markets for digital signage are clarifying through historical trial and error.

Business Operations

In August of 2013, we announced the release of our Direct Lynk Media (DLMedia) product. The DLMedia product encapsulates the Direct Lynk Messenger product with major enhancements and options that allow the client to select and include in their feed images relative to the news feeds. Also in the release, both Weather and Traffic image products have been enhanced considerably. Other additions included within the release bring more value to the company's clients and create more interest from new and existing clients.

The current types of data and information, for which a client is able to subscribe to through the Direct Lynk System include:

-	Headline News top world and national news headlines;
-	Business News top business headlines;
-	Financial Highlights world-based financial indicators ;
-	Entertainment News top entertainment headlines;
-	Health/Science News top science/health headlines;
-	Quirky News Bits latest off-beat news headlines;

We currently offer our Direct Lynk Messenger and DLMedia services to our clients and other potential customers through the Internet. Both DLM Services are Digital Signage products and real-time information services which provides a wide range of up-to-date information for display. Both DLM services are able to work concurrently with customers' existing digital signage systems. The Direct Lynk Messenger product is slowly becoming a legacy product with the DLMedia product in the forefront.

The Digital Signage and Kiosk industry is still a relatively new and since our inception in 2002 we have come to understand that it provides an exciting method for advertisers, including our clients, to promote, inform, educate, and entertain their customers regarding their business products and services. Through Digital Signage, businesses can use a single display or a complex, networked series of flat screen LED, LCD and even combined as video walls as display devices to market their products and services directly at their facilities and elsewhere to their customers and patrons in real time. Additionally, because Digital Signage advertising takes place in real time, businesses can change their marketing efforts literally from moment to moment and over the course of a day or such other period as they may determine.

We believe that the ability of our clients to display in real-time the information and content we deliver better allows our clients companies to tailor their products, services and advertising to individual and target-group customers, thereby advertising and offering, for example, inventory and sales discounts that may be designed to appeal to those individual customers and target customer groups, increasing sales and revenues. We believe that the benefits of on-site, real-time Digital Signage displays compared to regular print or video advertising are substantial and include, among other advantages, being able to immediately change digitally-displayed images/advertisements depending on our client's customers own situation, not simply being restricted by in-store print circulars produced days, weeks or even months in advance, which may become stale or obsolete prior to or shortly after publication and dissemination.

We specialize in allowing clients to create their own Digital Signage dynamic content feeds which are delivered online directly to their chosen, electronic digital display devices at their various facilities. The only requirements our clients must have are: (i) a supported, third-party Digital Signage and/or Kiosk equipment solution, or similar device, which receives the data from our servers online; and (ii) an Internet connection. Our Direct Lynk System is supported by various, readily available third-party systems, varying in costs from inexpensive monthly cloud-based licenses to much more extensive and expensive content management/playback systems. Our Direct Lynk Systems allow customers to select from the pre-determined data and information subscriptions of those described above. We enable our clients to also select location specific content they wish to receive based on how and where their Digital Signage network is configured.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we released our "Playlist-Ready" content products, enhancing our ability to further accommodate our current clients and appease new prospects. One product within the "Above the Fold" line has received a high level of acceptance at the industry trade shows, most recently at the Digital Signage Expo held in Las Vegas in March 2017. All of our products and services can be viewed on our website: datacalltech.com.

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements.

During the last twelve months, the Company has implemented cost management measurements to review monthly expenditures. We will continue these efforts to streamline operations, as we focus on increasing sales and gross revenues over the next twelve months. We do not currently have any plans to increase our monthly expenditures or number of employees. We currently offer our Direct Lynk Messenger and DLMedia services to our clients and other potential customers through the Internet. Both DLM Services are Digital Signage products and real-time information services which provides a wide range of up-to-date information for display. Both DLM services are able to work concurrently with customers' existing digital signage systems. The Direct Lynk Messenger product is slowly becoming a legacy product with the DLMedia product in the forefront.

We continually add subscribers for our technology throughout and intend to build and increase such subscribers moving forward.

The increase in SG&A expenses is mainly due to aincrease in expenses related to the trade show. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $78,903 compared to a net loss of $67,203 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

We had a positive working capital of $22,940 and an accumulated deficit of $9,837,036 on March 31, 2017.

We used $42,109 of cash for our operating activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, which was mainly due to a net loss of $78,903, accounts payable of $9,209, offset by accounts receivables of $41,118, non-cash compensation related to stock expense valued at $43,832, and non-cash expenses related to options and warrants of $309 and prepaid expenses of $17,000. We had no investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017. We used $1,759 in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 for the repayment of related party notes payable.
