Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Principles of Consolidation |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of bBooth, Inc. and Songstagram, Inc. (Songstagram). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

| Going Concern |
Going Concern
The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations. It also has an accumulated deficit of $16,999,295 as of December 31, 2015. As a result, the Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing until it can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations. Management intends to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue its operations. Management also intends to look at mergers with, or acquisitions of, other related entities to grow its business and customer base.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 reported periods. Significant estimates include the value of share based payments. Amounts could materially change in the future. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $0 and $30,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property and Equipment |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Deposit for Booth Equipment |
Deposit for Booth Equipment
Deposit for booth equipment represented amounts paid as a down payment for the purchase of ten booths during 2014. Booth equipment costs are recorded at historical cost and represent costs to acquire the Companys bBooth portable recording studios, which were to be used by the Company for revenue producing activities. During 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $199,428 relating to the deposit for booth equipment as there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the booth equipment. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-Lived Assets |
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made this analysis and determined there were no reliable predictors of future cash flows in connection with the Companys intangible assets or its booth-related equipment. Accordingly, the Company concluded that impairment of these assets was appropriate and recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $1,387,100. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentration of Credit Risk |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company had cash balances (in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit) of $0 and $922,117 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share Based Payment |
Share Based Payment
The Company issues stock options, common stock, and equity interests as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance FASB ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.
The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees, this is the date of performance completion.
The Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value options issued during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

| Research and Development Costs |
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs consist of expenditures for the research and development of new products and technology. These costs are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology for the Companys bBooth recording studios and integrated app. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net Loss Per Share |
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. No dilutive potential common shares were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had total outstanding options and warrants of 18,624,129 and 7,070,000, respectively, which were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash, notes receivable and notes payable. The principal balance of the notes receivable and notes payable approximates fair value because of the current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
