Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company Operations:

 

The accompanying financial statements of FCCC, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

 

The Company has limited operations and is actively seeking merger, acquisition or business combination opportunities with an operating business or other financial transaction opportunities. Until a transaction is effectuated, the Company does not expect to have significant operations. Accordingly, during such period, the Company does not expect to achieve sufficient income to offset its operating expenses, resulting in operating losses that may require the Company to use and thereby reduce its cash balance.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

The Company has defined cash as including cash on hand and cash in interest bearing and non-interest bearing operating bank accounts. Highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

The Company maintains cash balances at a number of financial institutions. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 at each institution. At various times throughout the year, cash balances may exceed FDIC limits. At March 31, 2013 there were no uninsured amounts.

 

Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Dividends:

 

The Company may or may not pay cash dividends or make other distributions in the future depending on a number of factors. The Company may, however, pay a cash dividend or other distribution as part of a merger, acquisition, reverse merger or business combination transaction or if the Board of Directors deems it advisable for the benefit of all shareholders at any time.

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes as prescribed by the FASB Accounting Standard Codification, (“ASC”), 740 (Income Taxes) This method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax return and financial statement reporting basis of certain assets and liabilities.

 

Advertising:

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense included in operating expenses was $-0- and $1,525 for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Earnings Per Common Share:

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 260 (“Earnings Per Share”. ASC 260 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. Net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Basic and diluted loss per common share was calculated using the following number of shares:

 

    2013     2012  
             
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding     1,561,022       1,561,022  
                 

 

Stock Based Compensation:

 

The Company adopted “Share-Based Payment” FASB ASC 718 (ASC 718 requires expense for all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. For the Company, this statement was effective as of April 1, 2006. The Company adopted the modified prospective method, under which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date. The modified prospective method recognizes compensation cost based on the requirements of ASC 718 for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and, for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company does not expect to record any significant expenses under ASC 718 for options currently outstanding. However, the amount of expense recorded under ASC 718 will depend upon the number of options granted in the future and their valuation.

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition:

 

The Company’s only source of revenue is interest income earned from the money market account held at a financial institution. This income is recognized at the end of each month.

 

The Company has filed all income tax returns since inception.

 

Common Stock Warrants:

 

None outstanding.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), on February 14, 2013, issued a proposed Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 825-10 Financial Instruments-Overall - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This proposed ASU was developed as part of the FASB’s broader project in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to improve and converge accounting and financial reporting for financial instruments. The FASB believes that the proposed ASU would improve financial reporting by providing a comprehensive framework for classifying and measuring financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  The new guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt this guidance during fiscal year 2014, and is currently assessing the impact on its financial statements.

 

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The new guidance clarifies the scope of the offsetting disclosures and addresses any unintended consequences as a result of ASU No. 2011-211, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact of its financial statements.

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” The new guidance provides the option to perform a qualitative assessment by applying a more-likely-than-not scenario to determine whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. This guidance is effective for indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 810): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. “The new guidance provides the option to perform a qualitative assessment by applying a more likely than not scenario to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, which may then allow a company to skip the annual two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test depending on the qualitative determination. This guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

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.
