NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are 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.

Depreciation expenses included in operating expenses for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $3,811 and $5,898, respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets – The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value. As of March 31, 2012, the company recognized $0 impairment expense.

Goodwill and other intangibles – Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment may have occurred. To test for impairment, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to the related net book value, including goodwill. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An income approach is utilized to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The income approach is based on the projected debt-free cash flow, which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows.

Licenses

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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.

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 taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

We have net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for these net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. To the extent that we will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents on an “as if converted” basis. For the years ended 2012, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operation, financial position or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts have been reclassified from the prior financial statements for comparative purposes.
