Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in US dollars. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which may have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

 

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and KRC until KRC was disposed of by sale to the former president on August 31, 2011. Accordingly, the statements of operations and cash flows presented include the results of KRC from June 4, 2010 to August 31, 2011 and the balance sheets presented at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 are solely that of Crown Alliance Capital Ltd. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Development Stage Company

From inception through August 31, 2011, the Company was an exploration stage company. On August 31, 2011, the Company changed business directions from acquiring exploration and development stage mineral properties to development of a portfolio of life settlement policies. The Company is now a development stage company. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents held at September 30, 2012 or June 30, 2012.

 

Earnings per share

 

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company is required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of the awards, for all awards granted after the date of the adoption.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar as substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the USA. The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income account in Stockholder’s Equity, if applicable. Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.

 

Investments in Insurance Contracts

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 325-30 “Investments in Insurance Contracts.” and accounts for life settlement contracts using the investment method. Life settlement contracts will be initially recognized at the transaction price. Any additional costs, such as premium paid, will be capitalized. In accordance with ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash paid towards acquiring and maintaining life settlement policies will be treated as an investing outflow while the receipt of proceeds over the cash invested will be shown as an operating cash flow with return of investment and premiums shown as investing inflows.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).

 

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of its office equipment or whether the remaining balance of office equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment.

 

Depreciation has been charged using the following estimates of useful lives:

 

Computer equipment   2 years straight line
Office equipment and furnishings   3-5 years straight line
Leasehold improvements   Over the remaining term of the lease

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. The Company does not expect the adoption of any other pronouncements to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.
