NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Activity

Information Systems Associates, Inc. (Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida on May 31, 1994. The Company provides services and software system design for the planning and implementation of Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) based asset management tools.

Restatement

We have restated our Financial Statements for the year ended 2011. See Note 21.

Cash and Cash Equivalent

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company grants credit to its customers during the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers.

At times throughout the year the Company may maintain certain bank accounts in excess of the FDIC insured limits. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, amounts on deposit at institutions did not exceed FDIC insured limits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Security Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-25, “Revenue Recognition Multiple-element Arrangements”

Consulting services and training revenues are accounted for separately from subscription and support revenues when these services have value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of each deliverable. When accounted for separately, revenues are recognized as the services are rendered for time and material contracts, and when the milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts. The majority of the Company’s consulting service contracts are on a time and material basis. Training revenues are recognized after the services are performed. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, we allocate the total customer arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered items when sold separately.

In determining whether the consulting services can be accounted for separately from subscription and support revenues, we consider the following factors for each consulting agreement: availability of the consulting services from other vendors, whether objective and reliable evidence for fair value exists for the undelivered elements, the nature of the consulting services, the timing of when the consulting contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date, and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer's satisfaction with the consulting work. If a consulting arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the consulting revenue ratably over the remaining term of the subscription contract.

Additionally, in these situations we defer the direct costs of the consulting arrangement and amortize those costs over the same time period as the consulting revenue is recognized. We did not have any revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables for the periods ending December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted FASB ASC Codification 220 “Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.

Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of (1) net income (loss) plus (2) all other changes in the net assets arising from non-owner sources, which are referred to as comprehensive income. The Company has presented statements of income which includes other comprehensive income or loss.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax and net operating loss carry forwards. 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 the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payables and notes and loans payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value based on the current market conditions for similar debt instruments.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining the collections on the account, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances.

The Company is subject to FASB ASC 860-10 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” which provides accounting guidance when a financial asset is transferred or sold. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s accounts receivables were subject to a secured agreement with a third party factoring company. The transfer of the accounts receivable does not qualify for sale treatment so the Company has recorded the full value of the accounts receivable as an asset on its balance sheet with the secured borrowing recorded as a liability.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the property and equipment (three to ten years). When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the statement of operations. Leasehold improvements are expensed over the term of our lease.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss on property and equipment when evidence, such as the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), indicates that future operations will not produce sufficient revenue to cover the related future costs, including depreciation, and when the carrying amount of the asset cannot be realized through sale. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluated the recoverability of its property, equipment, and other assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceed the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such intangible assets relate.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop computer software for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40 “Internal-Use Software”. As required by ASC 350-40, the Company capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing.

Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of one to three years. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.

On October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company released Version 3 and Version 2 of the “On Site Physical Inventory Software (OSPI), respectively, for sale in the marketplace. The Company accounts for internally produced software with FASB ASC 985-20 “Cost of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Costs were capitalized when the second and third versions were established as technically feasible and were written off on a straight line method over the estimated useful life.

Share-Based Payments

The Company accounts for payments of goods and services with stock with FASB ASC 719 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services.

This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes Model, received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Shares of common stock issued for services rendered by a third party are recorded at the fair market value of the shares issued or services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable.

Dividends

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 advertising expenses totaled $1,254 and $641, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 260 “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the loss per share computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock equivalents such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the periods presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no common stock equivalents (CSE) necessary for the computation of diluted loss per share.

Recent Accounting Literature

Compensation—Stock Compensation

(Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-13)

In April, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13 to address the classification of an employee share-based payment with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment award that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company believes there will no impact to their financial statements due to the implementation of ASU 2010-13.

Subsequent Events

(ASU 2010-09)

This Update addresses both the interaction of the requirements of this pronouncement with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events.

An entity that either is (a) an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. If an entity meets neither of those criteria, then it should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between ASC 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. The adoption of this provision will not impact the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

(ASU2011-04)

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 which was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new requirements relating to fair value measurements are prospective and effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited.

Comprehensive Income (loss)

(ASU 2011-12)

In June 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income” to amend requirements relating to the presentation of comprehensive income. The update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity and provides an entity with the option to present comprehensive income in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new requirements relating to the presentation of comprehensive income are retrospective and effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Also, in December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income” to abrogate the requirement for presentation in the income statement of the effect on net income of reclassification adjustments out of AOCI as required in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05.

Balance Sheet Disclosures-Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

(ASU 2011-11)

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, “Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements presented to conform to 2011. Such reclassifications had no effect on reported income.

Use of Estimates

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 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.
