Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Interim financial statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 13, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period of a future year.

 

RECLASSIFICATION

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents are deposits in financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

These amounts represent sales to customers in the ordinary course of business. Ninety percent of the notes receivable are due within 90 days and the remainder balance within one year.

 

INVENTORY

 

Inventory consists principally of finished art pieces held for sale valued at the specific-cost to purchase each piece. The Company accounts for inventory at the lower of the specifically-identified-cost of each piece (or average cost per piece when purchased in lots of two or greater) or net realizable value. As art is sold, amounts removed from inventory are the same specific cost values at the time of purchase.

 

FIXED ASSETS, NET

 

Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are amortized over the length of lease which is a two-year period beginning in August 2010. Machinery and equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis over a three to five year period.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment by comparison of the carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s fair value or estimates of future discounted cash flows. The Company has not identified any such impairment losses to date.

 

NOTES PAYABLE

 

Notes payable are amounts due to vendors or service providers which are classified into current and non-current portion based on its maturity date. These notes are non-interest.

 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

 

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of income and comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and all changes to stockholders’ equity except those due to investments by owners and distributions to owners.

 

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period and Class B common stock outstanding prior to its redemption. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The average market price of the common shares is below the exercise price of the outstanding warrants therefore not included in the calculation for dilutive share.

 

The computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011is as follows:

 

   2012   2011 
Numerator:          
  Net Income/(Loss)  $(265,144)  $54,830 
Denominator          
  Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic   53,672,708    53,552,708 
  Dilution associated with class Z warrants   -    - 
  Weighted average common share outstanding – diluted   53,672,708    53,552,708 
Basic earnings (loss) per share  $(0.005)  $0.001 
Diluted earnings (loss) per share  $(0.005)  $0.001 

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value measurement and Disclosures”, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculates net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that will be made by the investee), and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-lB. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that hold an investment that is required or permitted to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring or non recurring basis and, as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, if the investment meets certain criteria The amendments in this Update are effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued.

 

REVENUES

 

The Company has two principal sources of revenue. Revenues related to the direct sale of art pieces from inventory and commissions on sale of art pieces sold on a consignment basis. The Company recognizes revenues at the time goods are delivered to the customers.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, sixty-three (63) pieces of arts were sold from the inventory.

 

ADVERTISING COSTS

 

The advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred advertising expense of $35,644 and $3,886 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

 

The Company reports all operations under one business segment, the sale of works of art. Three customers accounted for 94% of the Company’s revenues for three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company generated 100% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 through one Taiwan distributor. All sales revenues were generated in Taiwan. The following table sets forth information as to the revenue derived from those customers that accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

   2012       2011     
Largest Customers                    
Espoir  $77,042    33%   $316,882    100%

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS

 

The functional currency of the Company's branch in Taiwan is the New Taiwan Dollar (“TWD”) and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses on transactions are included in earnings.

 

The combined financial statements of the Company are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the standard, “Foreign Currency Translation,” codified in ASC 830, using rates of exchange at the end of the period for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency combining financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. At March 31, 2012, the cumulative translation adjustments of $373, were classified as items of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, other comprehensive income was $12,101.

 

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in TWD into U.S. dollars for the purposes of preparing the combined financial statements were as follows:  As of March 31, 2012, the Company used the spot rates of exchange for assets and liabilities of $1.00 US to TWD 29.49. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company used the period’s average rate of exchange to convert revenues, costs, and expenses of $1.00 US to TWD 29.71. The Company used historical rates for equity.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes following the liability method pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes-Overall”. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to an uncertain position, if and when required, as part of interest expenses and other expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. 

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This standard clarifies guidance on how to measure fair value and is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles. The ASU also expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. For the Company, this ASU is effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This standard requires entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement, or in separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. Also, the earnings-per share computation does not change. However, the current option under existing standards to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. In addition, the previous option to disclose reclassification adjustments in the notes to the financial statements is also eliminated, as reclassification adjustments will be required to be shown on the face of the statement under the new standard. For the Company, this ASU is effective retrospectively beginning January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which creates new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. Certain disclosures of the amounts of certain instruments subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements would be required, irrespective of whether the entity has elected to offset those instruments in the statement of financial position. The ASU is effective January 1, 2013 with retrospective application required. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In December 2011, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 (“ASU 2011-12”), “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 defers only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The provisions of ASU 2011-12 became effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 did not materially impact our financial statements.

 

The Company believes that there were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
