Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of its financial statements. The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to the U.S. GAAP, and have been consistently applied. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

 

(a)        Basis of Accounting

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. These consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary RadTek, Co. Ltd. a Korean Corporation.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.

 

(b) Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of financial instruments, valuation of deferred tax assets and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not believe such changes will materially affect the financial statements in any individual year.

 

(c) Operation in Foreign Country

 

Substantially, all of the Company’s operations are carried out in the Republic of Korea. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in the country in which the Company operates. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of political conditions and governmental regulations.

 

(d) Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction

 

The financial position and results of operations of the Company are measured using the foreign local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

 

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash includes currency, checks issued by others, other currency equivalents, current deposits and passbook deposits held by financial institutions. For financial statement purposes, all highly liquid debt instruments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalent. Cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits in money market funds that are available for withdrawal without restriction.

 

(f) Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are presented at face value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on Company’s historical experience and review of specifically identified accounts and aging data. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

(g) Inventory

 

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at lower of cost or market where cost is computed on a first in, first out basis.

 

(h) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets:

 

Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

 

(i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss would be measured based on the discounted cash flows compared to the carrying amount. No impairment charge has been recorded in any of the periods presented.

 

(j) Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill

 

The Company follows guidelines of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” with regards to accounting and reporting of intangible assets other than goodwill. Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over the period during which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows of the entity. Intangible assets that have finite lives are evaluated for impairment when events and circumstances warrant. Intangible assets that have indefinite lives are not amortized. They are evaluated for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the intangibles asset with its carrying amount.

 

(k) Accrued Severance Benefits

 

Employees with at least one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with the Company based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits represent the amount which would be payable assuming all eligible employees were to terminate their employment as of the balance sheet date.

 

(l) Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs and subcontract fees.

 

(m) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows guidelines of ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition” for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of radiation sealing construction under the completed contract method accounted for as one element.

 

Revenue from research services recognized as service are rendered and billed each month under a term service agreement.

 

(n) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and to make disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Topic 820 requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels which form a hierarchy.

 

Level 1

Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2

Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3

Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The Company follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

(o) Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share.” Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and warrants.

 

There were no potentially outstanding dilutive common shares for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and, 2012

 

(p) Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 850 “Related Party Disclosures” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

(q) Commitment and Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic ASC Topic 450 “Contingencies” to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such an assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. As of December 31, 2013, management is not aware of any such contingencies that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

(r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”). This Update is to simplify how public and nonpublic entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendments permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.

 

The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). This Update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS.

 

The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”).  This Update is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. This guidance builds upon the guidance in ASU 2011-08, entitled Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 was issued on September 15, 2011, and feedback from stakeholders during the exposure period related to the goodwill impairment testing guidance was that the guidance also would be helpful in impairment testing for intangible assets other than goodwill.

 

The revised standard allows an entity the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, thus necessitating that it perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

This Update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Earlier implementation is permitted. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Other Recently Issued, but not yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
