Note 5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Dynamic Energy Development Corporation and Transformation Consulting. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Development Costs

 

Development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred unless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, as determined by management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected useful life, or written off if a product is abandoned. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, total development costs amounted to $149,391 and $0, respectively. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no deferred product development costs.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents, if any, include all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk

 

The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible notes, were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or relatively short maturity of these instruments. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. During the period ended March 31, 2012, the company earned all revenues from one customer.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("Topic 820"). Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.

 

The three levels are defined as follows:

 

· Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
· Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
· Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable approximate carrying value because of the short-term nature of these items.

 

Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of loan to related parties because the transactions cannot be assumed at arm's length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values avaialble for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.

 

Intangible Assets and Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company has adopted the provision codified in ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized and are tested for impairment annually. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the remaining life with the net carrying value of the asset as well as a comparison of the fair value to book value of the Company.

 

Intangible assets comprised the customer lists purchased in connection with the acquisition of Transformation Consulting on March 9, 2011. The intangible assets were reported at acquisition cost and were to be amortized on the basis of management’s estimate of the future cash flows from this asset over approximately five years, which was management’s initial estimate of the useful life of the customer lists.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-15 (prior authoritative literature: SFAS 144), the Company performed an assessment as of December 31, 2011. The Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets based on estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from this asset. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that, based on estimated future cash flows, the intangible asset was fully impaired; accordingly, an impairment loss of the carrying amount of $2,000,000 was recognized and is included in impairment loss on intangibles.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the FASB ASC Section 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition, Overall, SEC Materials ("Section 605-10-S99"). Section 605-10-S99 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Specifically with respect to TC, commission revenue is earned on consulting services provided to a company controlled by a director of the Company. TC earns these commissions based on this company’s revenues from certain direct to consumer membership club products. Commissions earned are recorded when deposited into an escrow account, effectively allowing for uncertainty of collectability and bad debt issues.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The number of common shares that are exercisable or converted into common stock is not material to effect diluted EPS results. Further, since the Company shows losses for the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no outstandings dilutive securities.

 

Income Taxes

 

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted the accounting standards codified in ASC 740, Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to those standards, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

 

ASC 740-10-25 prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

 

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective income tax rate.

 

The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize or have any accrual for interest and penalties relating to income taxes as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

Common Share Non-Monetary Consideration

 

In situations where common shares are issued and the fair value of the goods or services received is not readily determinable, the fair value of the common shares is used to measure and record the transaction. The fair value of the common shares issued in exchange for the receipt of goods and services is based on the stock price as of the earliest of the date at which:

 

i) the counterparty’s performance is complete;

ii) a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the common shares is reached; or

iii) the common shares are issued if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable at that date.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On December 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions codified in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company adopted those provisions using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized for all periods prior to December 1, 2005 includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of November 30, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to November 30, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value. In addition, deferred stock compensation related to non-vested options is required to be eliminated against additional paid-in capital. The results for periods prior to December 1, 2005 were not restated.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from parties other than employees in accordance with ASC 505, Equity. 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 counterparty.

 

Share Purchase Warrants

 

The Company accounts for common share purchase warrants at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method is used to determine fair value of these warrants. Use of this method requires that the Company make assumptions regarding stock volatility, dividend yields, expected term of the warrants and risk-free interest rates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adopted - 

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04: “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. This is a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This update will require the presentation of the components of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, companies are also required to present reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. The update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update that allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine whether they need to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the option, an entity no longer would be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless it determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 although early adoption is permitted. The adoptation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

Not Adopted -

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This accounting update requires that an entity disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The accounting update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this accounting update and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on its financial position and results of operations.
