           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Operations
 
Information Analysis Incorporated (“the Company”) was incorporated under the corporate laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in
1979
to develop and market computer applications software systems, programming services, and related software products and automation systems. The Company provides services to customers throughout the United States, with a concentration in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 can, and in many cases will, differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
In
May 2014,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
No.
2014
-
09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606
)
(“ASU
2014
-
09”
). The Company adopted ASU
2014
-
09
and its related amendments (collectively known as “ASC
606”
) effective
January 1, 2018,
by applying the modified retrospective transition method to all of the Company’s contracts. See Note
2
for a detailed description of revenue recognition under ASC
606.
 
Segment Reporting
 
The Company has concluded that it operates in
one
business segment, providing products and services to modernize client information systems.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of
ninety
days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Deposits are maintained with a federally insured bank. Balances at times exceed federally insured limits, but management does
not
consider this to be a significant concentration of credit risk.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable consist of trade accounts receivable and do
not
bear interest. The Company typically does
not
require collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Accounts with receivable balances past due over
90
days are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does
not
have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
No
allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded at
December 31, 2019
and
2018.
Prompt payment discounts in effect at
December 31, 2018,
that were offered and expected to be taken by customers, are reflected as a reduction in the Company’s accounts receivable at
December 31, 2018.
No
such discounts were offered at
December 31, 2019.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or
five
years, off-the-shelf software is depreciated over the lesser of
three
years or the term of the license, custom software is depreciated over the least of
five
years, the useful life, or the term of the license, and computer equipment is depreciated over
three
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated term of the lease or the estimated life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and minor repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are recorded in operations.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
At
December 31, 2019,
the Company had the stock-based compensation plans described in Note
10
below. Total compensation expense related to these plans was
$6,031
and
$29,600
for the years ended
December 31, 2019
and
2018,
respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using a Black-Scholes valuation model to establish the expense. When stock-based compensation is awarded to employees, the expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. When stock-based compensation is awarded to non-employees, the expense is recognized over the period of performance.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. In addition, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is believed more likely than
not
that a deferred tax asset will
not
be fully realized. Authoritative guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than
not,
and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company continually reviews tax laws, regulations and related guidance in order to properly record any uncertain tax liabilities.
 
Loss Per Share
 
The Company’s loss per share calculations are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and other equity instruments are included for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, except for periods when the Company reports a net loss, in which case the inclusion of such equity instruments would be antidilutive. See Note
11
for more details.

the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU
2019
-
12,
Income Taxes (Topic
740
)
,
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,
that removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic

by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2020.
The adoption of ASU
2019
-
12
is
not
expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or cash flows.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
February 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU
2016
-
02,
“Leases: Topic
842,”
that requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases including operating leases, and followed it up with ASUs
No.
2018
-
10,
No.
2018
-
11,
No.
2018
-
20,
and
No.
2019
-
01
(collectively “Topic
842”
), which clarified certain aspects of the new leases standard and provided an optional transition method.
 
The Company adopted Topic
842
on
January 1, 2019,
and elected the optional transition method to initially apply the standard at the
January 1, 2019,
adoption date. As a result, the Company applied the new lease standard prospectively to its leases existing or commencing on or after
January 1, 2019.
Comparative periods presented were
not
restated upon adoption. Similarly, new disclosures under the standard were made for periods beginning
January 1, 2019,
and
not
for prior comparative periods. Prior periods will continue to be reported under guidance in effect prior to
January 1, 2019.
In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to
not
reassess contracts to determine if they contain leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The standard did
not
impact the Company’s statements of operations and had
no
impact on its cash flows.
 
The Company has an operating lease which is a real estate lease for its headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia. This lease has a fixed lease term of
49
months. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use operating lease assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet as of
December 31, 2019.
As of
December 31, 2019,
the Company does
not
have any sales-type or direct financing leases.
 
The Company’s operating lease asset represents its right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the lease does
not
provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreement includes rental payments escalating annually for inflation at a fixed rate. These payments are included in the initial measurement of the operating lease liability and operating lease asset. The Company does
not
have any rental payments which are based on a change in an index or a rate that can be considered variable lease payments, which would be expensed as incurred.
 
The Company has lease agreements which
may
contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single performance obligation to the extent that the timing and pattern of transfer are similar for the lease and non-lease components and the lease component qualifies as an operating lease. The Company does
not
recognize lease liabilities and operating lease assets for leases with a term of
12
months or less. It recognizes these lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
Upon adoption of Topic
842
on
January 1, 2019,
the Company recorded a right-of-use operating lease asset of
$242,696
and lease liabilities of
$244,877.
 
The Company’s lease agreement does
not
contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
 
The Company does
not
sublease any real estate to
third
parties.
 
The following table provides supplemental balance sheet information related to the Company’s operating lease:
