ORGANIZATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION


Cleartronic, Inc.  (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida on November 15, 1999. Originally formed as a website developer under the name Menu Sites, Inc., which ceased operations in 2002.


In 2005, the Company became a provider of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services and re-seller of international pre-paid telecommunication services  and was renamed GlobalTel IP, Inc.


In November 2007, the Company formed, as Florida corporations, two wholly owned subsidiaries: Gulf Telco, Inc. and VoiceInterop, Inc.


In May 2008, the Company changed its name to Cleartronic, Inc.


In August 2008, the Company ceased re-selling international pre-paid telecommunication services and sold certain of its VoIP assets and discontinued all business transaction in its subsidiary Gulf Telco. The Company began to transition its remaining VoIP business into managed unified group communication operations and development of VoIP related products in its subsidiary VoiceInterop, Inc.


The Company now designs, builds and installs unified group communication solutions, including unique hardware and customized software, for public and private enterprises and markets those services and products under the VoiceInterop brand name. VoiceInterop is the operating subsidiary. The Company is currently developing a demand response energy management solution targeting the consumer market.


PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION


The consolidated financial statements and accompany notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cleartronic, Inc. and its subsidiary, VoiceInterop, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.


USE OF ESTIMATES


In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and operations for the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not own any cash equivalents at September 30, 2011 or 2010.


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE


The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon a periodic review and analysis of outstanding accounts receivable balances. Uncollectible receivables are charged to the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are used to credit the allowance account in the periods in which the recoveries are made.


The Company has an Accounts Receivable Purchase and Security Agreement with Bridgeport Capital Resources of Birmingham, AL. Under the terms of the agreement the Company sells certain acceptable accounts receivable to Bridgeport Capital at a discount to the receivable face value. Discounts can range between 2.25 and 6.25 percent depending on the length of time the receivable remains outstanding.


The Company provided no  allowance for doubtful accounts  for the year ended September 30, 2011 and $1,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010.


LONG-LIVED ASSETS


The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of long-lived assets. If and when such factors, events or circumstances indicate possible impairment to long lived-assets the Company would make an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the remaining lives of the respective assets in measuring recoverability from future operations. There was no impairment of assets for the year ended September 30, 2011. For the year ended September 30, 2010 the Company wrote off $39,863 in impaired of equipment.


CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


The Company currently maintains cash balances at one banking institution. Beginning December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, deposits held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts will be fully insured, regardless of the amount in the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS


The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.  For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 the Company had $237,013  and $219,384, respectively, in research and development costs.


COMPREHENSIVE INCOME


The Company had no comprehensive income during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.


REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUES


Unified group communication solutions consist of three elements to be provided to customers: software licenses and equipment purchased from third-party vendors, proprietary hardware that is manufactured on contract to required specifications and installation and integration of the hardware and software into the cohesive communication source.


The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 605-10 "Revenue Recognition" (ASC 605-10). Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. No right of return privileges are granted to customers after shipment. The Company recognizes revenue for the elements separately as the sales of the equipment and software, installation and integration, and support services represent separate earnings processes that are generally specified under separate agreements.


Revenue from the resale of equipment utilized in unified group communication solutions is recognized when shipped. For software licenses, the Company does not provide any services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software, and therefore revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of the fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.


The Company also provides support to customers under separate contracts varying from one to five years. The Company's obligations under its service contracts vary by the length of the contract. In all cases the Company is the primary obligor to provide first level support to the client. If the contract has less than one year of service and support remaining on the contract it is classified as a current liability, if longer it is classified as a non-current liability.


Installation and integration services are recognized upon completion.


EARNINGS PER SHARE


In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 260 "Earning per Share", basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods reported. Diluted earnings per share include the weighted average effect of all dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted per share loss is the same as basic per share loss when there is a loss from continuing operations. Accordingly, for purposes of dilutive earnings per share, the Company excluded the effect of warrants and options as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 for 34,538,487 and 22,471,265 shares, respectively.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company adopted ASC topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements," effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines "fair value" as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


     
 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

     
 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

     
 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.


INVENTORY


Inventory consists of components held for assembly and finished goods held for resale or to be utilized for installation in projects. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company's policy is to record a reserve for technological obsolescence or slow-moving inventory items. No reserve was made for inventory balances as of September 30, 2011 and 2010.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial statement purposes depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset.


Expenditures for replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are recognized.


INCOME TAXES


The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," which requires that the Company recognizes income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be realized. Changes in estimates of future taxable income can materially change the amount of such valuation allowances.


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 "Compensation" (ASC 718-10) using the modified retrospective transition method. ASC 718-10 (formerly SFAS 123R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. The Company has estimated the fair value of each award as of the date of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely transferable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the Company's stock price. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment ("SAB 107") which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.


ADVERTISING COSTS


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs of $4,144 during the year ended September 30, 2011 and $3,649 during the year ended September 30, 2010.
