NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

Accounting Methods

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Advertising and Promotion Costs

 

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. As at July 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash only.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has adopted ASC 220, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires inclusion of foreign currency translation adjustments, reported separately in its statement of stockholders' equity, in other comprehensive income. The Company had no other comprehensive income for the period ended July 31, 2011.    

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains the majority of its cash in commercial accounts at a major financial institution. Although the financial institution is considered creditworthy and has not experienced any losses on its deposits, at July 31, 2011, the Company's cash balance did exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 815, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "ASC 815"). The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company has not entered into derivative contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company adopted ASC 260, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (losses) per share. Basic earnings (losses) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to diluted earnings per share.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The Company maintains United States dollars as the functional currency. Foreign monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Revenue and expense items are translated using the rate in effect on the date of the transactions. 

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost for inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories principally consist of coffee beans. The Company had no green bean coffee in inventory on July 31, 2011.  

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot always be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and share offering subscription. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Organization and Start-up Cost

 

All costs and expenses for the start-up activities, including organization costs, are expensed as incurred.

 

Offering Expenses

 

Offering expenses represent costs associated with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement under an S-1 offering to sell 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share for gross proceeds of $500,000. Such costs primarily consist of professional fees and consulting services. The offering expenses were charged to expenses as incurred. 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over the shorter of seven years or the term of the related leases. Major remodels and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by ASC 740 to allow recognition of such an asset.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenue from sale of coffee beans. Our revenue is recognized in the period when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  Coffee is considered delivered when title and risk have been transferred to the customer.  

 

Receivables

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value and do not bear interest. No allowance for doubtful accounts was made during the period ended July 31, 2011 based on management's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company evaluates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon knowledge of its customers and their compliance with credit terms. The evaluation process includes a review of customers' accounts on a regular basis. The review process evaluates all account balances with amounts outstanding 60 days and other specific amounts for which information obtained indicates that the balance may be uncollectible. As at July 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011 there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. 

 



Stock Issued for Services

 

Transactions in which common stock is issued for services are recorded at the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the stock issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Share offering Subscription

 

Share offering proceeds received by the Company from subscribers pursuant to the prospectus offering of 2,500,000 shares of the common stock at $0.20 per share are recorded as a current liability until the offering is closed and subscribed shares are issued to the investors.  The Company completed and closed the offering on March 31, 2011 after it received gross proceeds of $500,000. The balance of $24,000 represents over subscriptions to be returned to the subscribers.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 and the accompanying notes during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), “Subsequent Events”, SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”, SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles- a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2011-07 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant. The Company has reviewed all the recent accounting pronouncements up through No. 2011-07 and these updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements and the Company’s current accounting and reporting.
