Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Method

 

The Company's financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared using the accrual method of accounting which conforms to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of the common share rights unless the exercise becomes anti-dilutive and then the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 740, "Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Current income tax expense (benefit) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (receivable) for the current year. A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax expense is generally the net change during the year in the deferred income tax asset and liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be "more likely than not" realized in future tax returns. Tax rate changes and changes in tax laws are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

 

Due to the Company's net loss position from inception on October 6, 2011 to March 31, 2016, there was no provision for income taxes recorded. As a result of the Company's losses to date, there exists doubt as to the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax asset amount of $59,127 has been recorded at March 31, 2016. The Company has three open tax years for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes, if any, in its statements of operations and general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties relating to uncertain tax positions.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, mineral properties, and purchased intangibles with finite lives (subject to amortization), are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 360 "Property, Plant, and Equipment". Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs.

 

Foreign Currency Translations

 

The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company's functional and reporting currency. Transactions denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Statement of Operations:

 

Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing as at the balance sheet date;

 

Non-Monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and

 

Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from the sale of minerals will be recognized when a contract is in place and minerals are delivered to the customer.

 

Mineral claim acquisition and exploration costs

 

The cost of acquiring mineral properties or claims is initially capitalized and then tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising and Market Development

 

The Company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standards Codification topic 825, "Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments as of March 31, 2016 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to March 31, 2016 through the date these financial statements were issued.
