NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a. Basis of Accounting and Presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP) and are expressed in United States Dollars (“USD”).  The Company elected an August 31, year-end. The Company, and its board of directors, on February 2, 2016 approved a change in its year-end to December 31 (see Note 10 – Subsequent Events).

 

b. Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

c. Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company follows ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

 

d. Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include:  deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance and accruals.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

e. Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (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. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.

 

f. Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

No provision was made for Federal income tax. The Company recorded minimum franchise tax due to the State of New York, that amount is $250.

 

g. Advertising

 

Advertising will be expensed in the period in which it is incurred. There has been no advertising expense in the reporting period presented.

 

h. Related Software Costs

 

Certain direct purchase and related development costs associated with software are capitalized and include external direct costs for services and payroll costs. These costs include employees devoting time to the software projects principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces and installation and testing of the software. These costs will be recorded as property and equipment and will be amortized over a period of three to five years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use. Costs incurred during the development stage, as well as maintenance, code development and training costs are expensed as incurred.

 

i.                     Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life. The Company monitors conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. The Company tests its intangible assets with finite lives for potential impairment whenever management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The original estimate of an asset's useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset's useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment.

 

For the period August 29, 2012 (inception) through August 31, 2012 we recognized $1,000 in amortization expense. The Company’s proprietary business plan and modeling program was placed in service on August 29, 2012. The Company amortized these costs during the period ended August 31, 2012.

 

j. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk and are carried at amortized costs which approximates the fair value.

 

k. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.  In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had’ been in the development stage. The Company adopted this amendment beginning from September 1, 2015.  The amendments in this update were applied retrospectively.

 

In May 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor have determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations.

 

On January 1, 2015, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB updating existing guidance on discontinued operations. This guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This pronouncement is aimed at reducing the frequency of disposals reported as discontinued operations by focusing on strategic shifts that have or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The Company will consider this guidance in conjunction with future disposals, if any.

 

In April 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update the guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires debt issuance costs, related to a recognized debt liability, be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than being presented as an asset. This pronouncement is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2016, and the adoption will not have a material impact on its financial position and/or results of operations.

 

In September 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB which eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2016, and the adoption will not have a material impact on its financial position and/or results of operations.

 

In November 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2017, and the adoption will not have a material impact on its financial position and/or results of operations.
