NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fair Value

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820 ”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

As of April 30, 2015 the significant inputs to the Company’s derivative liability calculation were Level 3 inputs.

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value in the balance sheets as of April 30, 2015 and January 31, 2015:

          Fair value measurements at reporting date using:  
          Quoted prices in           Significant  
          active markets for     Significant other     unobservable  
          identical liabilities     observable inputs     inputs  
Description   Fair Value     (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)  
                         
Warrant and convertible note derivative liability at April 30, 2015 $ 161,512     -     -   $ 161,512  
                         
Warrant and convertible note derivative liability at January 31, 2015 $ 216,705     -     -   $ 216,705  

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, notes payable, and warrant liability. It is management’s opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the warrant liability, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the derivative liability are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value.
