NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents

For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of nine months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.  Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds deposited with various high credit quality financial institutions.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets, typically 3-10 years. Major additions and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Licenses

The costs associated with acquiring exclusive licensing rights to patented technology have been capitalized and have been expensed using the straight line method of amortization over ten years, the estimated remaining useful lives of the patents.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: a) persuasive evidence of sales arrangements exists; b) delivery has occurred; c) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and d) collectability is reasonably assured.

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via a purchase order from our customers. Delivery occurs when title and all risks of ownership are transferred to the purchaser which generally occurs when the products are shipped to the customer. No right of return exists on sales of products except for defective or damaged products. The sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order. To assure that collectability is reasonably assured we perform ongoing credit evaluations of all of our customers.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided based on the liability method of accounting. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end.  A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets as management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard to allow recognition of such an asset.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within thirty days from the invoice date or as specified by the invoice and are stated at the amount billed to the customer.  Customer account balances with invoices dated over thirty days or thirty days past the due date are considered delinquent.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amount that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that are considered delinquent and based on an assessment of current credit worthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.  In addition, management periodically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance based on the Company’s past experience.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Under FASB ASC 825 the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate value.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt.  The Company believes that the carrying amounts approximate fair value for all such instruments.

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measurement, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  Topic No. 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).  Topic No. 820 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 
Level 1:
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2:
Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
 
Level 3:
Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets and liabilities, including situations in which there is little to no market activity.

Fair values assigned to the Company’s acquired fixed assets were determined using Level 2, and the fair value associated with the Company’s intangible asset was based on Level 3 inputs.  The inputs used to determine fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.

Compensated Absences

Employees of the Company do not earn annual leave or sick leave. There is no compensated absences accrued liability on December 31, 2011and March 31, 2011.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

FASB ASC 718 requires that measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments be based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Such costs are recorded over the periods employees are required to render services in exchange for the awards.

Income Tax/Deferred Tax Policy

FASB ASC 740  requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities 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 based on the differing treatment of certain items between the Company’s financial records and tax returns.  Deferred tax assets are also established for tax benefits associated with tax loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Such deferred balances reflect tax rates by tax jurisdiction that are scheduled to be in effect, based on currently enacted tax laws, in the years the book/tax differences reverse and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards are expected to be realized.  An allowance is established for any deferred tax asset that is not expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 also prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.  The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Interest and penalties, if incurred, are included in interest and financing expense.  The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities.  The Company’s open audit periods are 2008 – 2010.  The Company does not believe it has any material uncertain tax positions.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates.

Unaudited Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financia1 information.  In the opinion of management all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, have been included.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s March 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
