Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies 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 and are presented in US dollars.

Accounting Basis

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting).  The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.

Consolidation

The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Greenfield Farms Grassfed Beef, Inc.  There are no significant intercompany transactions between the company and its subsidiary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, deferred charges, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short period of these instruments.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventory

The inventory is comprised of grass fed beef parts (i.e. primarily steaks and ground beef).  The inventory cost includes the purchase price of the live cattle, slaughtering costs, processing and packaging cost.  The Company uses the first-in, first-out inventory method to determine costs.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company follows ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity. The Company’s convertible debt has conversion provisions based on a discount of the market price of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company had derivative liabilities resulting from the issuance of convertible debt, which were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using an option pricing model. Consequently, the Company has adjusted the fair value of the derivative liabilities at December 31, 2012 and recorded a gain related to the change in the value of the derivative liability of $147,643 in the statement of operations that were attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to the derivative liabilities still held at the reporting date for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were no derivative liabilities at December 31, 2011, nor a gain or loss reported for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Dividends

The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.

Advertising Costs

The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $0 and $15,628 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2012, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows upon adoption.
