Note 1 - Nature of Operations, Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Operations and Business Organization

 

My Catalogs Online, Inc. (the “Company” “we” “us” “our”) was organized as Mycatalogsonline.com, Inc. in the state of Nevada on January 26, 2009.  The Company holds the domain names to various catalog shopping web sites and provides a master web link to these sites.  In April 2009, the Company changed its name to My Catalogs Online, Inc., however, the Company maintains the web domain of Mycatalogsonline.com and does business under that name.

 

The Company owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Catalog Enterprises, Inc., which was formed in March 2009, for the purpose of acquiring and maintaining domain names for future use within the Company’s business model and for providing website development services for other companies.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, and the financial position as of March 31, 2012, have been made.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

 

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2011.  The September 30, 2011 balance sheet is derived from those financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Catalog Enterprises, Inc. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

 

Use of Estimates

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions.  We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made.  These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.  Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application.  There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.  Significant estimates include the estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets, valuation of equity based transactions and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.  Amounts recorded for notes payable, also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.

 

Effective upon inception, we adopted accounting guidance for financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820).  The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.  This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures.  This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments.  This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).  The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

Upon inception, we adopted a newly issued accounting standard for fair value measurements of all non-financial assets and liabilities not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. No such assets or liabilities were present during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period.  Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock equivalents such as stock options and convertible debt instruments.  Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.  As a result, the basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented are identical.  As of March 31, 2012, there were 5,086,050, potentially dilutive securities related to a convertible notes payable which were excluded from the computation.
