Use of estimates

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

The carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company's notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.

 

As of January 31, 2014, the convertible note was converted to equity and the derivative warrants were either exchanged for common stock or no longer required derivative treatment as a result of the note conversion. Consequently, at January 31, 2014, derivative liabilities have a balance of zero. The derivative instruments were marked to market at settlement dates and the corresponding value of the derivative liabilities of $506,574 was credited to additional paid in capital.

 

The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, the Company's only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of July 31, 2013:

 

    Amount     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Embedded conversion derivative liability   $ 9,666     $ -     $ -     $ 9,666  
Warrant derivative liabilities     -       -       -       -  
Total   $ 9,666     $ -     $ -     $ 9,666  

 

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of the derivative financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

 

Balance at July 31, 2013   $ 9,666  
Fair value of warrant derivative liabilities at issuance     469,841  
Settlement of derivative liability     (506,574 )
Unrealized derivative loss included in other expense     27,067  
Balance at January 31, 2014   $ -  

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities are calculated at inception and the Company records a derivative liability for the calculated value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.

 

The derivative warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

    At settlement dates     July 31, 2013  
Market value of stock on measurement date   $ 0.043 - $0.05     $ 0.0289  
Risk-free interest rate     0.77 - 0.96 %     0.11 %
Dividend yield     0 %     0 %
Volatility factor     169 - 217 %     76.9 %
Term     2.8 - 3.9 years       0.493 years  

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
