Notes to Financial Statements  
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X Article 8 “Financial Statements of Smaller Reporting Companies” as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2012 indexed in Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash in bank accounts is at risk to the extent that it exceeds U.S.Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. To minimize risk, the Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. All cash is deposited in one prominent Canadian financial institution.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, available-for-sale securities and due to related parties. Management believes the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10 for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Topic 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of nonperformance risk including our own credit risk. In addition to defining fair value, Topic 820-10 expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

* Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

* Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

* Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

In general, and where applicable, we use quoted prices in an active market for identical derivative assets and liabilities that are traded on exchanges. These derivative assets and liabilities are included in Level 1.The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10-35 to our assets and liabilities are described below:  

 

    Fair Value Measurements  
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Fair Value

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates that prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

 

Available For Sale Securities – related parties

 

The Company holds marketable equity securities which are available-for-sale and as such, their carrying value is adjusted to market at the end of each reporting period. As required by ASC Topic 220 (formerly SFAS 130),, unrealized gains and losses on these investments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recorded as a component of net income (loss) when realized. However, if there is a permanent decline in the market value of available-for-sale securities, this permanent market value adjustment is taken into income in the period.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718 & 505.  Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of ASC Topic 718. In accordance with ASC Topic 718 no compensation cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. . The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.

 

In addition, deferred stock compensation related to non-vested options is required to be eliminated against additional paid-in capital. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718 & 505. 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.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 , “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350. This standard also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. The Company's intangible assets consist of the acquisition of the license to import and distribute wine & liquor products and various brands and labels. The Company determined that the intangibles have an estimated useful life of 18 years and will be reviewed annually for impairment. Amortization will be recorded over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company will commence amortization when the economic benefits of the assets begin to be consumed in January, 2013. Other intangibles are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on straight line basis per annum.

 

Definite life intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These tests involve the use of estimates and assumptions appropriate in the circumstances. In assessing fair value, valuation models are used that include discounted cash flows. The models use assumptions that include levels of growth in assets under management from net sales and market, pricing and margin changes, synergies achieved on acquisition, discount rates, and observable data for comparable transactions. As of September 30, 2013, the Company believed there was no impairment of its intangible assets and recorded the value of the intangible, net of amortization of $62,198 in the amount of $1,430,545. (2012- $Nil).

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC Topic 740-10. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those 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 date of enactment or substantive enactment.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the future benefit, or if the future deductibility is uncertain. In accordance with ASC 740-10. This interpretation introduces a new approach that changes how enterprises recognize and measure tax benefits associated with tax positions and how enterprises disclose uncertainties related to income tax positions in their financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized upon purchase by customers at our product facility. All sales at our product facility are final, allowing for no sales returns. As at September 30, 2013, $3,808 (2012 - $Nil) is in accounts receivable from the sale of water units.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on our financial statements at September 30, 2013.

 

The Company adopted certain amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2012. These amendments include a consistent definition of fair value, enhanced disclosure requirements for “Level 3” fair value adjustments and other changes to required disclosures. Their adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company adopted the amendments to ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” effective January 1, 2012. The amendments pertained to presentation and disclosure only.

 

The Company adopted the amendments to ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Others,” effective January 1, 2012. The amended guidance allows us to do an initial qualitative assessment of relevant events and circumstances to determine if fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying value, prior to performing the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
