Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Basis of Presentation

St. Joseph, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Colorado on March 19, 1999 as Pottery Connection, Inc. On March 19, 2001, the Company changed its name to St. Joseph Energy, Inc. and on November 6, 2003, the Company changed its name to St. Joseph, Inc.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, specializes in the recruitment and placement of professional data processing and technical personnel for clients on both a permanent and contract basis.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 include the activities of St. Joseph, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Staf*Tek Services, Inc. (“Staf*Tek”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has negative working capital and a net stockholders’ deficiency at December 31, 2013 and 2012. In our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm includes an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company plans to generate the necessary cash flows with increased sales revenue and a reduction of general and administrative expenses over the next 12 months. However, should the Company’s operations not provide sufficient cash flow; the Company has plans to raise additional working capital through debt and/or equity financings. Insiders have loaned working capital to the Company on an as-needed basis over the past two years; however, there are no formal committed financing arrangements to provide the Company with working capital. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in producing increased sales revenues, attaining profitability, or obtaining additional funding through debt and equity financings.

Cash Equivalents and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuations of the majority of the assets are considered Level 1 fair value measures under ASC 820.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers related to the Company’s employee placement services. The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Furniture and fixtures	7 years
Office equipment	5 years
Computer equipment	3 years

Upon retirement or disposition of an asset, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized.

Impairment and Disposal of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. There were no impairments recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Revenue Recognition

Staffing service revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the Company’s contract employees and collection is probable. Permanent placement revenues are recognized when employment candidates accept offers of permanent employment.

Direct Costs of Services

Direct costs of staffing services consist of payroll, payroll taxes, contract labor, and insurance costs for the Company’s contract employees. There are no direct costs associated with permanent placement staffing services.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses all advertising as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs totaling $905 and $902 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Loss Per Common Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. Preferred stock and common stock options outstanding at December 31, 2013 were not included in the diluted loss per share as all 5,708 preferred shares and all 502,500 options were anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses during the year. Preferred stock and common stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012 were not included in the diluted loss per share as all 5,708 preferred shares and all 452,500 options were anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses during the year. Therefore, basic and diluted losses per share at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were equal.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Oklahoma as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. The Company believes that its income tax filings positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company recognizes share-based compensation based on the options’ fair value, net of estimated forfeitures on a straight line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally over the awards’ respective vesting period, or on an accelerated basis over the estimated performance periods for options with performance conditions. The stock option fair value is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the underlying common stock closing price as of the date of grant, the expected term, stock price volatility, and risk-free interest rates. The Company has modified its outstanding stock options several times over the prior three years resulting in recognition of additional expenses (see Note 7).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities; disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
