Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.  All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

 

  a) Basis of Accounting
     
  The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.

 

  b)  Asset Retirement Obligations
     
  The Company has no asset retirement obligations, including environmental expenditures, which relate to an existing condition caused by past operations.

 

  c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
     
  Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions.  For purposes of the balance sheet and statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

  d) Foreign Currency Accounting
     
  The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  Head office financing and investing activities are generally in Canadian dollars. Transactions in Canadian currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:

 

  i)  monetary items at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

 

  ii)  non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate; and

 

  iii)  revenue and expense items at the rate in effect of the date of transactions.

 

  Gains and losses arising on the settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are recorded in the statements of operations.
     
  e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     
  ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
   
  These tiers include:

 

  § Level 1 – defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

  § Level 2 – defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
  § Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

  Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as at September 30, 2013 as follows:

Loans payable   $ -     $ 99,047     $ -     $ 99,047     $ 92,860  
                                         

 

The carrying amount of loans payable was a reasonable approximation of the fair value.

 

  f) Use of Estimates and Assumptions
     
  The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures.  By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant.  Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions are determining the fair value of transactions involving related parties and common stock.  Actual results may differ from the estimates.

 

  g) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
     
  The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”.  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As the Company generated net losses in the period presented, the basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

 

  h)  Income Taxes
     
  The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting on income taxes.  If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

  i)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     
  The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
