Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a) Year end

 

The Company has elected a December 31st fiscal year end.

 

b) Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any cash equivalents (2014 – $nil), and $0 was deposited in accounts that were federally insured (2014 - $0).

 

c) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when a contract is in place, goods or services are delivered to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

d) Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows the guideline under FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. Stock compensation expenses are to be recorded using the fair value method. No stock options have been issued.

 

e) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share”. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive.

 

f) Comprehensive Income

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income,” comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder’s equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability.

 

g) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from the estimates. Management believes such estimates to be reasonable.

 

h) Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This new accounting standard establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. The Company has adopted FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

 

i) Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value

 

The Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash, account payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and accrued interest and related party advances are carried at face which approximates fair value because of their short term nature.

 

The fair value of the convertible notes payable is based on the fair value of both the host debt and the embedded equity component at the time of commitment. Based on the concept that a promissory note without any interest rate or any conversion feature would have no fair value, the total value of the instruments was allocated to the equity component and included in additional paid-in capital. The balance of nil was allocated to the host debt.

 

The resulting discounts are being amortized to income over 60 months.

 

Risks:

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant credit risk.

 

Management, as well, does not believe the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risks during the period presented in these financial statements.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the eventual outcome of the risks and uncertainties described above.

 

j) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates are considered.

 

Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s future profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved.

 

k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Impairment losses on long-lived assets, such as mining claims, are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts.

 

l) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The Company’s functional currency is US dollars. Foreign currency balances are translated into US dollars as follows:

 

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at their acquisition, unless such assets are carried at market or nominal value, in which case they are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses in the period are included in operations.

 

The functional currency of the wholly owned subsidiary is Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities arising from these operations are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at the exchange rates in effect at the time the revenue or expense is incurred. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ deficit while foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in operations.

 

m) Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Scout Resources Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
