3.         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

            PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the transactions of the Company and its subsidiary.

 

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

           

DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

 

The Company is considered to be in the development state as defined in FASC 915-10-05,      “Development Stage Entity”.   The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the execution of its business plan.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

           

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar.  All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the US dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of other comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.

 

The Company recorded an unrealized foreign currency translation gain, totaling $0 for the period from January 23, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2012, in accumulated other comprehensive income.
