Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment to various retail outlet customers when all performance obligations are met and collectability is reasonably assured. Upon shipment to specific retail customers with the right of return under the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Inergetics defers revenues as returns are not reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred revenue totaled $1,010,178 and $1,268,470, respectively.
