Interim Financial Statements

 

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. 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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2013.

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fresh Start Private Management, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fresh Start Private, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the “Company” or “Fresh Start”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

   

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue from services and product sales. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenue are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the services has not been performed or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the services has been performed or no refund will be required.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation and the fair value of other equity and debt instruments.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing balances. Management estimates the allowance based on collectability of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. Accounts receivable balances are written off upon management's determination that such accounts are uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Management believes that credit risks on accounts receivable will not be material to the financial position of the Company or results of operations. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $886,752 and $866,315 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand. See Footnote 8 and 9 for derivative liabilities.

 

Segment Information

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

  

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset's estimated useful life, which is five years for furniture and all other equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 360-10-15-3, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company accounts for net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effects of any potentially issuable common shares. Diluted net loss share is calculated by including any potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator. As of June 30, 2013, potentially dilutive shares issuances were comprised of convertible notes payable and vested employee stock options. As of June 30, 2012, the Company did not have any potentially issuable common shares.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instrument that is exposed to a concentration of credit risk is cash and cash equivalents. Generally, the Company’s cash in interest-bearing accounts does not exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company’s convertible debt and reset warrants have variable conversion  rates to the exercise price, which prohibit the Company from determining the number of shares needed to settle the conversion of the debt.

 

Advertising

 

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company charged to operations $10,350 as advertising costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $43,393 and $120,034 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

  

Guarantor-Factoring Agreement

 

August 1, 2011, Start Fresh Alcohol Recovery Clinic Inc. (the “Clinic”) entered into an agreement with a factoring company to provide a debt facility secured against the approved insurance clients of the Company. The agreement is for one year, for a maximum facility of $500,000. The facility bears a Funding fee equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate of interest plus 6.5% multiplied by the outstanding facility position, calculated monthly and (ii) $4,500 and a Collateral Management Fee equal to 1% of the factored accounts receivable. If both fees are less than $6,000 per month, then the combined fee is $6,000. Up to October 31, 2011, the aforementioned fees are capped at 50% of the greater amount. Additionally the Company is responsible for monthly maintenance fees of $350 per month and an origination fee of 3% of the facility cap or $15,000. The Company is guarantor for this facility. The security for the facility has been provided by way of a security interest against the receivables of the Clinic, a general security assignment over all of the assets of the Clinic and the Company and personal guarantees of two of the Company’s directors. $38,405 and $154,990 was due to factor as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

On February 26, 2013 Fresh Start Private Management, Inc. (The Company) entered into an agreement with the factoring company to repay the outstanding sum of $140,000 no later than August 30, 2013.

  

Stock Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the arms-length private placement transaction nearest the measurement date (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 9,000,000 employee stock options were outstanding with 9,000,000 shares vested and exercisable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company's historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 related to losses incurred during such periods.
