SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. The functional currency of the Company is Canadian Dollars

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, expected tax rates for future income tax recoveries and determining the fair values of financial instruments.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is recorded at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is three years for computers.

 

Impairment of Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value cost of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value.

 

Other Comprehensive Income

 

The Company reports and displays comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. During the period ended March 31, 2017 and, 2016, the Company had unrealized foreign exchange of $nil in 2017 and $nil in 2016 respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. For the years presented, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share as the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts payable, convertible loans and subscriptions received in advance approximates their fair value. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Compensation cost related to share-based payments, such as stock options and employee stock purchase plans, are recognized in the financial statements based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The compensation cost associated with the issuance of stock options will be recognized over its vesting period based on the estimated grant-date fair value.

 

Stock awards outstanding under the Company’s current plans are fully vested, therefore there is no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options. No options were granted or exercised during the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current period, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject these financial statements for additional disclosure.
