SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Text Block]

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudit condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2016.

b)

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments, and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, and stock based compensation (expense and liability). Our estimates, judgments, and assumptions are based on historical experience, future expectations, and other factors which we believe to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

c)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance to remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the quarter beginning September 1, 2017, had no impact on the Company’s balance sheets or statements of operations or cash flows.
