2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of the period reporting date, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the fiscal period end. The results of operations for the fiscal period end are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full fiscal year.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the years reported.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant items that require estimates were accruals of liabilities.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Balances of cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions may at times exceed the government-insured limits.

 

Earnings per share

Earnings per share is reported in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share” which requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of all statements of earnings, for all entities with complex capital structures.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of these options, warrants and convertible securities are excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  Fully diluted EPS is not provided, when the effect is anti-dilutive. When the effect of dilution on loss per share is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share equals the loss per share.

 

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Investment measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following hierarchy:

 

  Level 1  -  Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the period reporting date.
   
 

 Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

 

  Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.  The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

 

Recent Changes in Accounting Standards

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s financial statements.
