SUMMARY

COMPANY INFORMATION

 

The Company has been formed on January 12, 2017, under the name Voterite, Inc. in the State of Florida as a C Corporation. The company uses a filed fictious name VOTRITE. (EXHIBIT 1A-2B)

 

Under the amended and Restated Articles of incorporation, filed on July 29, 2022. The Board of Directors for the Corporation by unanimous written consent duly adopted resolution proposing and declaring advisable the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended and restated in their entirety.

 

Capitalization has authorized the total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation has the authority to use TEN MILLION (10,000,000) all of which shall have no par value. The Total number of shares of preferred stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is ONE MILLION (1,000,000) all of which shall have no par value. (See Exhibit D-1)

 

Effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, the current 100 shares of common stock of the Corporation that are outstanding be forward split on a 50,000 for 1 basis. Accordingly, after the giving effect to the forward split, there will be 5,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, all of which shall be fully paid and non-assessable; and that the corporation issue and sell up to $5,000,000 principal amount of stock as determined by the offers of the Corporation.

Voting

 

The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held at all meetings of shareholders (and written actions in lieu of meeting). There shall be no cumulative voting. The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when and as declared by the Board from funds legally available therefore, and upon liquidation are entitled to share pro rata in any distribution to holders of Common Stock. There are no preemptive, conversion or redemption privileges, nor sinking fund provisions with respect to the Common Stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and to determine the designation of any such series. Currently The Board has approved 1,000,000 of preferred stock not issued.

 

Compliance with Laws

 

The Company shall comply with all governmental requirements, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, property, business, or prospects of the Company. The Company shall pay and discharge when due all indebtedness, obligations, assessments, and real and personal property taxes, including, but not limited to, federal and state income taxes, except as may be subject to good faith contest or as to which a bona fide dispute may arise.

 

2025 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On November 30, 2023, we adopted our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to reward and provide incentives to our officers, directors, employees, consultants, and other eligible participants. We have set aside options to purchase up to One Million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan, which may be granted in the form of either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Our Board of Directors administers the Plan and has the authority: To select the Plan recipients, the time or times at which awards may be granted, the number of shares to be subject to each option awarded, the vesting schedule of the options and (ii) to amend the stock option Plan to reward and provide incentives to its officers, directors, employees, consultants and other eligible participants.

 

RISK ASSESSMENT

 

Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its partners and/or the ability to raise additional capital as required.

Some of the statements under “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” "Our Business" and elsewhere in this Offering Circular constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar matters that are not historical facts.

The election business is presumed to be recession proof and repetitive.

 

The competition is limited to the use of paper ballots, and its technology is 20th century (scanners), whereas Votrite’s touchscreen technology is 21st Century touchscreen. Regulatory factors encompass a wide range of laws, regulations, and policies that govern various industries and sectors. Staying up to date with the latest trends and developments in content marketing is vital.

 

Achieving and maintaining market acceptance of Votrite software and hardware provide evidence with the list of clients already serviced and the testimonials already received. Our hardware is somewhat generic (All-in-One computers) and although it is specifically made for us in Taiwan, replacement hardware is available immediately by HP, Dell, Acer, and other local manufacturers. Our software is proven to be extremely secure, and our voting systems are never connected to the internet. Our pricing is more than competitive in relation to the current voting systems available today.

 

Relevance: Consumer behaviors and preferences are constantly changing. An example is that touch screen technology which is employed by Votrite has a positive impact.

 

Effectiveness: Votrite’s latest trends often bring more effective strategies and techniques. Use of a single database for complete auditing and voting eliminates the potential of hacking entire elections.

 

Competitive Advantage: In a saturated market, staying ahead of the competition is crucial. AI-powered tools are being implemented for additional security in the Votrite systems, complete internal audits, and encrypted databases for each machine.

 

Emerging Growth company:

We should not be considered a “Development Stage Company.” An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years

 

Inadequacy of capital.

We believe that the proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to help support our continued development process, sales, marketing, and business operations to achieve our goals. We believe that the company can sustain and grow at a much smaller pace without these additional funds and rely on future revenues generated from new rentals and on-line sales to fund all the cash requirements of our activities. We have a history of losses in the last few years since we have dedicated our capital resources to the develop of our system to conform with Federal Standards.

 

  5
 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We plan to retain some earnings in the near future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.

 

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this Offering.

 

On July 29, 2022, there were an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized and 1,000,000 of Preferred Stock authorized.

 

Our net tangible book value as of July 29, 2022, was $130,161 or $0.03 per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock, based on 5,000,000 outstanding shares of Common Stock. Our net tangible book value as of the date of this Offering Circular was $101,999 or $0.02 per share of our Common Stock, based on 5,000,000 outstanding shares of Common Stock as at the date of this Offering Circular. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

 

If the maximum 500,000 shares of Common Stock in this Offering at the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share.

 The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, of the shares offered for sale in this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Our Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. We reserve the right to temporarily suspend and/or modify this Offering and Offering Circular in the future, during the Offering Period, to take such actions necessary to enable the Company to accept subscriptions in this offering from investors residing in such states.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS: Votrite, the first of its kind, NOT web-based, Touchscreen Electronic Voting System available in over 20 customizable languages, is tamper-proof, has copyright privacy measures and boasts the smallest carbon footprint and greatest voter accessibility, according to Christopher Baum, Chief Compliance Officer at VotRite and former consultant to the City of New York’s Board of Elections, New York State Board of Elections and other state/local governments.

 

Baum says Votrite’s copyright, fraud-blocking technology includes Direct-Recording Electronic (DRE) systems and a Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT), underscoring Votrite’s transparency, security and the long overdue modernization of the United States’ voting process.

 

“These stringent measures ensure tamper-proof, unencumbered voter access regardless of race, age, gender ethnicity and economic status,” said VotRite Co-Founder and President Angelica Kapsis, a U.S. Navy-Veteran now dedicated to building a trusted, secure, and accurate election process for our nation and the world. A company owned by the voters instead of large financial institutions supports confidence. Years collaborating with eligible voters with disabilities at Scorpion Fitness Centers LLC fueled Kapsis’ commitment to a hack-proof, human-error-free process where eligible voters can vote with confidence.

 

We have performed many elections throughout the United States without any discrepancies. All our products are market ready and functional to perform accurate elections in any sector of voting. A list of our elections and clients can be found in our reference page on our website https://www.voterite.com/our-references/. Our management team has previously developed or managed similar companies and technologies.

 

“As expected, Votrite’s electronic voting systems (EVS) have proven successful and uncontested in all elections utilized- from large cities to small towns, universities, condos, co-ops and unions across the country,” added Kapsis. “The upcoming election cycle will be a time for election decision-makers to really evaluate the integrity and vulnerabilities of their current process- and to think of both short- and long-term solutions. We are anticipating greater focus on solutions like Votrite’s LT 2100 system, a long-term, effective solution for the problems of the past two decades, purposefully designed.”

 

Votrite, has been recognized with the prestigious Education and Training Award 2024 by Corporate Vision. This accolade highlights Votrite’s outstanding contributions to growth and development within the technology sector.

 

The Education and Training Awards, now in their sixth year, spotlight organizations and individuals who excel in advancing learning and professional development. Votrite’s commitment to innovation in electronic voting technology has set a new standard in accessibility, security, and user-friendliness.

The current supply of All-In-One computers specifically designed to conform to Votrite standards is available worldwide, and the independent Votrite software can be installed on any touchscreen computer with secured credentials.

·Votrite’s copyright, secure, touchscreen voting hardware with built-on privacy screens prevents anyone other than the direct user from being able to see what is on the screen.
·Committed to a profound environmental impact, Kapsis says their systems’ ability to eliminate wasteful paper ballots is superior to traditional hand-counted voting systems that require more ballots than voters be pre-printed and paid for. Votrite’s paper receipts (⅙ the size of most ballots) are still utilized for tertiary audits and required record archiving.
·In addition to our in-person voting, we have launched our mobile voting website (votritemobile.com) will allow the voters to vote on our APPS (APPLE) from their phone or on their own computer anywhere in the world. (voting site: votritemobil.com)
·The Votrite voting system is the first to implement disability tools into its programming, eliminating the cost of separate voting systems for people with disabilities, and visually impaired.
·The products can be seen on our websites www.votrite.com and votritemobile.com, and most social media sites. (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and others)
·The Company has various outlets for income producing products. First, the in person voting system has been and will continue to be applied to various organizations as a rental option, and in the future to the General public for the Federal elections.
·Votrite sells and rents their voting systems to Municipalities, Homeowner associations, Unions, Universities, and other membership organizations that are mandated to vote for their officers or members. This is a repetitive business, and elections are mandated by law for all 501c organizations.
·Previous elections/clients can be seen on our website https://www.votrite.com/reference/ .
·The Environmental Issue is the destruction of trees to produce paper ballots. Papermaking has an impact on the environment because it destroys trees in the process. According to data from the Global Forest Resource Assessment 80,000 to 160,000 trees are cut down each day around the world with a significant percentage being used in the paper industry. It will take the destruction of one tree for each 8,000 paper ballots (Quora) . The life cycle of paper is damaging to the environment from beginning to end. When paper rots, it emits methane, a greenhouse gas. This can be harmful to the environment.
·Ballot Waste: The average cost of scanner ballot is approximately $0.29 each versus Votrite’s paper ballot at $0.03. The printing of scanner ballots is estimated for voter consumption. Millions of ballots are thrown away at a cost of $0.29 each (taxpayer $$$) in every election, because it impossible to decide how ballots are needed for each election, while Votrite print the ballot on demand by the Administrator or voter.

 https://www.newsday.com/long-island/politics/that-s-a-lot-of-trees-1-3m-in-unused-paper-ballots-k37534

·Voter Participation: Scanner ballot and paper ballots used to vote may have two sides with two languages versus Votrite which comes in any language as shown in languages ballot folder. In the United States, the right to vote is one of the fundamental aspects of democracy. This right ensures that every U.S. citizen is given a voice in shaping the country's future. Votrite can offer any language prior to voting: The Current voting scanner does not offer this feature, which is required by law.

 

  10
 

 

·Security issues: Votrite’s fully encrypted program with individual databases and redundant memory, plus other features prevent access from hackers and malicious viruses. The biggest challenge of electronic voting is security threats. Electronic voting systems are complex computer systems connected to the internet that are vulnerable to a variety of attacks, including hacking, malware, and physical tampering. Votrite is NEVER connected to the internet.
·Votrite has been approved to go ahead with evaluating its voting system by the Election Assistance Commission. Visit Https://www.eac.gov/voting-equipment/registered-manufacturers (Exhibit 1A-15)

 

MOBILE VOTING

The company has developed and launched an on-line and mobile secured voting system using AWS cloud servers to enable the voter to vote on several types of elections on a global basis. (Https://votritemobile.com) and APPs. Apple’s “App Store” is the primary distribution, marketing, and promotional APP for voters to access our voting site. We are now considering an alternative to Google Play, a more advanced alternative is https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get-appstore/android.

 

The positive outlook for growth in the Online Voting System Market is driven primarily by the following factors:

·Increasing emergence of players via distribution channels
·Increasing internet penetration
·Ease in accessibility.
·Rapid urbanization.
·Wider application in educational institutions, organizations, and Government bodies
·Growing population

Global Online Voting System Market Size/Share Worth USD 770 Million by 2030 at a 7.5% CAGR (1)

 

Mobile technology is ubiquitous today. Even some people who may not have regular access to a computer often carry a smartphone. Phone-based solutions can be ideal for enabling voters to quickly and easily get information about candidates, register to vote, and check in at polling centers. Some states like Alaska have already started experimenting with this.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: Three (3) Major competitors and other systems

 

1. 

Dominion Voting Systems Corp- ImageCast X

Federal cybersecurity officials have verified there are software vulnerabilities in certain ballot-marking devices made by Dominion Voting Systems, discovered during a controversial Georgia court case, which could in theory allow a malicious actor to tamper with the devices, it claims to demonstrate how the software flaws could be used to alter QR codes printed by the ballot-marking devices, so those codes do not match the vote recorded by the voter.

Votrite Difference

·Votrite does not use a Terminal Emulator which enables a machine to connect to and communicate with another machine using a command-line or graphical interface.
·Votrite does not allow Reboot to safe mode.
·There is no access to the Votrite EMS which is based on individual database folders.
·The public vote counters are cross validated. There are vote counters in the database, in a file on each voting machine, and in a file on the Election Information Flash Drive. In addition, all unique voters from all votes recorded in the system are counted. If the vote counters are out of synchronization, the votes fail validation and are not imported into the final count. The software warns the Election Supervisor of the problem with that memory module.

Election Systems & Software, Inc (ES&S)

ES&S IVotronic voting machine, with magnet and Palm organizer.

An ES&S "iVotronic" DRE touchscreen voting machine, being surreptitiously put into its supervisory configuration mode with a Palm organizer and a magnet.

 

The firmware and configuration of the ES&S precinct hardware can be easily tampered with in the field. Every piece of critical data at a precinct – including precinct vote tallies, equipment configuration and equipment firmware – can be compromised through exposed interfaces, without knowledge of passwords and without the use of any specialized proprietary hardware. Access to the iVotronic DRE configuration is protected by several hardware and password mechanisms, all of which can be defeated through routine poll worker (and in some cases voter) access.

The vote in 2006 in Sarasota, Florida, was just one. There, ES&S machines lost around 18,000 votes.

ES&S machines are directly tied to significant undervotes at every level in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina

Ohio software called “highly dangerous,” “criminally negligent from the standpoint of data security” and “insanely risky” by election security experts.

Votrite Difference

·Each vote has a digital signature (GUID) stored with it like the hash but encrypted with the user’s individual encryption key. The encryption key is stored in a table of voters. All signatures are checked.
·They all must pass validation. There is an encryption process used in the last step for the end-of-day report. This includes encryption using the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program.
·Together these two programs confirm cryptographic algorithms and cryptographic module implementations.
·Votrite has never lost a vote in its voting system and audit trail.

 

3.

Hart InterCivic, Inc.

The Hart analysis expanded on earlier findings and discovered twenty-seven new vulnerabilities. Most notably, we discovered a large swath of undocumented functionality within the Hart system that could be highly dangerous in an election environment. Like earlier evaluations, our analysis of the Premier system notes that the platform is plagued by systemic security issues; however, our evaluation goes further. We see that even in the presence of over half a decade of evaluation, these systems do not appear to be improving—in some cases reintroduce failed designs in-identified by past studies. Weaknesses in both systems make the security of elections entirely reliant upon the universal and consistent enforcement of physical procedures - a difficult process at best.

Votrite Difference

·Votrite does not use memory cards encoders or voter token encoders.
·Two log files. These voting data logs must match, or validation will fail. The on-screen files located in the private machine counter that tells the Poll Administrator of past machine usages, must match the logs recorded in the internal backup counter of all sessions. To monitor and control the software development process, two mechanisms have been put in place: the System Change Request (SCR) and a system of change tracking logs. Errors are recorded on the database log and produced during the final tally of votes. All errors are logged in the system throughout the voting process. Error messages are easy to understand for quick and simple troubleshooting.
·In addition, all skipped (under votes) will be reported as well.
·The System Change Request (SCR) is used for approval prior to any change to the Votrite software, and Votrite is the Change Management System used to control and integrate the software changes.
·No changes are allowed to Votrite software without a pre-approved SCR.
·An SCR must be created for each software defect or additional feature request.
·All software changes are recorded in the appropriate system logs.
·The audit records include ballot preparation, election definition, system readiness tests voting, and ballot-counting operations and consolidation of end of day results.
·Firmware is the combination of a hardware device and computer instructions or computer data that reside as read-only software on the hardware device. The software cannot be readily modified under program management.

OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE (OSS) VOTING MACHINES ARE VUNERABLE TO ATTACKERS

For years, officials have feared this is the trouble with America’s voting machines, their vulnerability to attack. Over the past decade, Open-Source Software (OSS) has experienced rapid growth and widespread adoption, attributed to its openness and editability. This expansion, however, has also brought significant security challenges, particularly introducing and propagating software vulnerabilities. Votrite knows well how trust can be easily abused in the open-source ecosystem, especially when many projects struggle with a lack of workforce and development resources and not having volunteers with cybersecurity knowledge and skills.

 

Significant security challenges

 

 

 

  22
 

 

A myriad of problems with current voting systems.

 

1

The destruction of trees to produce paper ballots. According to data from the Global Forest Resource Assessment 80,000 to 160,000 trees are cut down each day around the world with a significant percentage being used in the paper industry. Also, the life cycle of paper is damaging to the environment from beginning to end. When paper rots, it emits methane, a greenhouse gas. This can also be harmful to the environment.
2 Paper ballots and scanner ballots used for voting may have two sides with two languages, limiting the voter participation and violating the law.  Also, millions of unused ballots are trashed at tax payer’s expense.
3 The biggest challenge of electronic voting is security threats. Electronic voting systems are complex computer systems that are vulnerable to a variety of attacks, including hacking, malware, and physical tampering. Open-source codes allow these issues to be available for hackers.
4 Millions of ballots are thrown away at a cost of $0.29 each (taxpayer $$$) in every election, because it impossible to decide how ballots are needed for each election.
5 Storage of paper ballots is expensive. Millions of $$$ of taxpayer money is spent on warehousing costs because of the size of scanner ballots.
6 Misinformation has reduced public confidence in electronic voting systems. Voting officials and voting systems suppliers must address this threat directly by increasing hands on opportunities for the public, providing transparent testing and verification of systems, and increasing accountability for both the voting experience and election results reporting.

 

In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated election infrastructure as “critical infrastructure,” noting that “bad cyber actors — ranging from nation states, cyber criminals, and hacktivists — are becoming more sophisticated and dangerous.”

 

Some politicians have suggested avoiding machines altogether and hand-counting ballots. This is absurd and shows that research into new voting systems is not a priority, but just grandstanding.

 

Already, there are indications that bad actors have acquired proprietary voting machine code. In 2021, an election official in Colorado allegedly allowed a conspiracy theorist to access county machines, copy sensitive data, and photograph system passwords — the kind of insider attack that, experts warn, could compromise the security of the coming presidential election.

 

  23
 

 

Another bad voting technology being promoted: BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

 

MIT cybersecurity experts have come out strongly against using any form of blockchain-based voting, and said that online voting in general is much more vulnerable to being hacked than in-person or mail-in voting. They say that the physical nature of mail-in ballots make them much less susceptible to large-scale attacks compared to online voting, where exploiting a single vulnerability could impact every ballot at once. 

 

The team says that blockchain-based approaches are ripe for what they call “serious failures” - situations where election results have been changed in ways that are undetectable, or, even if detected, would be irreparable without running a whole new election.

 

“While current election systems are far from perfect, blockchain would greatly increase the risk of undetectable, nation-scale election failures,” says MIT professor Ron Rivest, co-creator of RSA public-key encryption and senior author of the new paper. “Any turnout increase would come at the cost of losing meaningful assurance that votes have been counted as they were cast.” 

 

The future of open source is still very much in flux. “There is no way to ‘make voters whole again’ after a compromised election.” So, best to have a doubtless, foolproof, ultra reliable and trustworthy system such as offered by Votrite!

Voterite Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

June 30, 2024

 

Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations

 

Voterite Inc. was organized as a C Corporation to facilitate tamper-proof electronic voting. In an era where widespread data breaches are common, safeguarding voter information has become essential for all elections. Votrite has recognized this, making data privacy and protection paramount to its platform. As of 2028, Votrite aims to set industry standards, employing top-of-the-line encryption, multi-factor authentication, and frequent auditing to protect voter identities and choices. The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on January, 12, 2017 and is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida with offices in Mineola, New York.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon future sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. While the Company believes in the viability of its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, and as of June 30 2024 the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company reports accounts receivable at invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on a continuous basis, and if necessary, establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a number of factors, including current credit conditions and customer payment history. The Company does not require collateral or accrue interest on accounts receivable and credit terms are generally 30 days. No allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, and as of June 30 2024.

 

Accounts receivable includes unbilled receivables of $0 as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, and as of June 30 2024.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenue primarily from the rental of its products and use of mobile apps. The company recognizes revenue upon signatory of contract with interested parties. Interested parties include organizations such as Condos, Unions, Religious Organizations, and Universities.

Upon receiving approval from the Election Assistance Commission when software is tested and verified, Votrite will also engage in the selling of machines to government entities to facilitate voting.

 

Inventories

 

Votrite currently has no Inventory on its Balance Sheet. When approval is obtained from the Election Assistance Commission a change in use may be affected for certain equipment to become inventory with an intent to sell. When reclassifying, the equipment should be transferred to inventory at its carrying value at the date of reclassification. Any previous accumulated depreciation stops, and the asset's value becomes part of the inventory cost.

 

  30
 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for on the accrual basis in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations. The Company files its federal and state income tax returns on a calendar year basis.

 

The Company records tax positions in accordance with applicable tax regulations. If the tax benefits claimed in the tax return are considered uncertain, the Company records a liability for the expected amount of the unrecognized tax benefit. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as incurred.

 

Management has determined that the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the Company's tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that the Company will not be subject to additional tax, penalties, and interest as a result of such challenge.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts, and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally eight years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized. The company typically donates equipment to charitable organizations and captures the loss within that line item on the Statement of Operations.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Votrite owns proprietary software used to build, deploy, and manage its website applications and processes. The software is capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is generally 10 years. The Company continually updates and enhances the software, effectively extending its economic life. This extended useful life is the basis for the 10-year amortization period, which is longer than the typical industry standard for software.

 

Expenditures that significantly extend the software's economic life or enhance its functionality are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy.
