SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Prince Mexico S.A., Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries Linea Deportiva Prince Mexioc, S.A. de C.V.. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for most foreign operations is the Mexican Peso. The financial statements of foreign operations have been translated into U.S. dollars.  Asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Revenue and expense accounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the period.  The gains and losses associated with the translation of the financial statements resulting from the changes in exchange rates from period to period have been reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income or loss account in stockholders’ equity.  To the extent assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are realized or the foreign operations pay back intercompany debt, amounts previously reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income or loss account would be included in net income or loss in the period in which the transaction occurs.  Transaction gains or losses, other than those related to intercompany accounts and investments deemed to be of a long-term nature, are included in net income or loss in the period in which they occur.

 

Accounts receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from outstanding balances and do not bear interest.  The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through an allowance for doubtful accounts, if an allowance is deemed necessary.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable, however, changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. 

 

On a periodic basis, management evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors.  In circumstances where there is knowledge of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount that is reasonably believed to be collected.  For all other customers, reserves are established based on historical bad debts, customer payment patterns and current economic conditions.  The establishment of these reserves requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required resulting in an additional charge to expenses when made.

 

Inventory

Inventories consist of merchandise held for sale in the ordinary course of business, including cost of freight and other miscellaneous acquisition costs, and are stated at the lower of cost, or market determined on the first-in-first-out basis.  The Company records a write-down for inventories which have become obsolete or are in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value. The Company performs a detailed review of inventory each period that considers multiple factors including demand forecasts, market conditions, product life cycle status, product development plans and current sales levels.  If future demand or market conditions for the Company’s products are less favorable than forecasted or if unforeseen changes negatively impact the utility of the Company’s inventory, it may be required to record additional write-downs which would negatively impact gross margins in the period when the write-downs are recorded.  If actual market conditions are more favorable, the Company may have higher gross margins when products incorporating inventory that were previously written down are sold.

 

It is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used by the Company to determine its provision for inventory losses will materially differ from the actual amounts or results. These differences could result in materially higher than expected inventory provisions, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition in the near term.  These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual experience if future economic conditions, levels of consumer demand, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from expectations.

 

Balance of inventory as on December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $163,357 and $384,670, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:

 

Transportation equipment

5 years

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment as December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale.  Title passes generally upon shipment or upon receipt by the customer depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer.  In some instances, products are shipped directly from the Company’s suppliers to the Company’s customers and revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to and accepted by the customer or a representative of the customer.  The Company’s revenues may fluctuate in cases when the Company’s customers delay accepting shipment of product for periods up to several weeks.  Reserves for estimated returns are established based upon historical return rates and recorded as reductions of sales.  Right of return is not provided to the Company’s customers at the time of sale other than for the Company’s failure to meet the terms of the customer’s order.  The substantial reasons for such returns are late shipment of product unless a cancellation date was identified when the order was placed; incorrect items shipped; and defective merchandise.  Return requests for late shipment or incorrect items shipped must be made within several days of receipt of the merchandise.  Returns for defective merchandise are accepted based upon the specific warranty for the individual product. Returns are accepted only with pre-approval from the Company.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists of the purchase price of products sold, inbound and outbound shipping charges, packaging supplies and costs associated with revenues and marketplace business.  The purchase price of the products, outbound shipping charges and the cost of tangible supplies used to package products for shipment to customers totaled $166,369 and $390,983 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are anticipated to be expensed as incurred.  During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were $2,047 and $1,442 in advertising costs included in advertising and promotion, respectively.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10 at the beginning of 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.  ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

 

Loss per Common Share

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Subtopic 260-10. We present basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding.  Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share has been computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock warrants. Loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the assumed conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of stock warrants have not existed and thus are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses and are excluded in determining diluted loss per share.

 

Dividends

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.  No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.

 

Income tax, corporate flat tax, and employee profit sharing, prepaid or deferred

Provisions for income tax (ISR for its Spanish acronym), corporate flat tax (IETU for its Spanish acronym) and employee profit sharing (PTU for its Spanish acronym) are recorded in income for the year they become payable. Also, a deferred tax effect arising from temporary differences is included which results from comparing book and tax values of assets and liabilities. This also includes the benefit of tax loss carryforwards and tax credits. A deferred tax asset is recorded only when there is a high likelihood that it can be recovered. Deferred taxes are determined using enacted tax rates that are estimated to be effective on the dates temporary items will be reversed or realized. The PTU payable and deferred is considered as an ordinary expense as part of employee benefits.

 

Corporate Flat Tax (IETU) is a tax that co-exists with Income Tax; therefore, the Company has drawn up projections based on reasonable, reliable assumptions properly supported, and represent Management’s best estimate where it has identified that the expected trend is essentially that Income Tax will be paid in future years. Accordingly, only deferred Income Tax has been recognized.

 

Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes” for recording the provision for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

 

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company.

 

The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

 

The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no income tax expense has been incurred.

 

Contingencies

The Company is not currently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings. Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Stock-based compensation

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

 

Year end

The Company has a year end of December 31.

 

Recent pronouncements

The Company evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued and determined that the adoption of these pronouncements would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
