NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Accounting Basis
These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States 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 year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.


Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as occurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.


Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.


All mineral properties held at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 have been fully impaired.


Loss Per Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, if not anti-dilutive.  The Company has not issued any potentially dilutive common shares.


Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings per share. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.


Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.  No dividends have been paid during the period shown.


Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.


Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward.
.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses the modified prospective method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the estimated grant-date fair value.
The Company issued its officer 150,000 common shares of its stock during the period ended June 30, 2011. Based on the estimated grant-date fair value of $ 0.01 per share, compensation expense of $ 1,500 was recorded in these financial statements.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled “Subsequent Events”.  Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) during the year ended November 30, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date. In connection with the preparation of the accompanying financial statements as of November 30, 2009, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued (filed with the SEC).


In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. (“SFAS 168” or ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented.


As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.


With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.


Foreign currency transactions
The business of the Company from Canada involves incurring a substantial number of operational transactions in Canada for which it transacts payments in Canadian currency through a bank account maintained for that purpose. Included in such transactions are payments for salaries, rent, consulting and many other expenses. At the time of payment, each Canadian disbursement is translated into the U. S. dollar equivalent amount and an exchange gain or loss on currency is recorded at that time. As of December 31, 2009, the Canadian bank account balance, which was the only account balance maintained in foreign currency at that date was converted into a U. S. dollar equivalent amount.
