NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with US GAAP, and are presented in United States dollars.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value of stock-based compensation, impairment of its interest in a mineral property, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting, except for cash flow information.

 

Equity Investments

 

Equity investments are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair market value. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

  

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense is based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Income/ Loss per Share

 

The Company’s basic income/loss per share is calculated by dividing its net income/loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company’s dilutive income/loss per share is calculated by dividing its net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, related party advances, and notes and advances payable. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
   
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Cash is measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

For equity awards, such as stock options, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement value. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.

 

Mineral Property Interests

 

Costs of exploration and costs of carrying and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred. The Company considers mineral rights to be tangible assets and accordingly, the Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition of mineral rights.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists of service revenue generated from management and consulting services. Revenue is recognized when services have been delivered, the amount is fixed or determinable, collection is probable and cost incurred or to incur can be measured reliably.

  

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period numbers have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations except for the following:

 

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The most significant impact to our financial statements relates to the recognition and measurement of equity investments at fair value in our statement of operations. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 will increase the volatility of our other income (expense) as a result of the remeasurement of our equity investment through net income.
