NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Imagine Media, LTD. was incorporated in August 2007 in the State of Delaware. TransBiotec, Inc. (“TBT”) was formed in the state of California in July 2004.  Effective September 19, 2011, Imagine Media, LTD. acquired TBT in a transaction that was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. In January 2012 Imagine Media, LTD. changed its name to TransBiotec, Inc., resulting in a parent company and subsidiary of the same name.  The financial statements represent the activity of TBT from July 19, 2004 forward, and the consolidated activity of TransBiotec, Inc. and TBT from September 19, 2011 forward. TransBiotec, Inc.  and TBT are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company". The Company has developed and plans to market and sell a non-invasive alcohol sensing system which can include an ignition interlock in the vehicle version of the system. The Company is currently considered to be in the development stage, and has not generated revenues from its activities.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

 

Accounts receivable

The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At September 30, 2012, and 2011 the Company had no balance in accounts receivable or the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under straight line methods over each item's estimated useful life.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms.  The Company has had no revenues to date

  

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recorded no material advertising costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

 

Income tax

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Net income (loss) per share

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.

 

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying balance sheets, approximates fair value.

 

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

 

Products and services, geographic areas and major customers

The Company is currently in the developmental stage and has no revenue.

 

Stock based compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Minority Interest (Noncontrolling Interest)

A subsidiary of the Company has minority members, representing ownership interests of 2.46% at September 30, 2012. The Company accounts for these minority, or noncontolling interests pursuant to ASC 810-10-65 whereby gains or losses in a subsidiary with a noncontrolling interest are allocated to the noncontrolling interest based on the ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest, even if that allocation results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.
