NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers amounts held by financial institutions and short-term investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.  Cash at times may exceed FDIC insurable limits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short maturity of these instruments. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any other financial instruments.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain related identifiable assets on a quarterly basis for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change to indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any long-lived assets.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") guidance which requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards and applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards.  In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company's stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company's forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company's actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. Applying this guidance had no impact on the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Earnings per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with the SFAS guidance for Earnings per Share, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted.  Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Such potential dilutive shares of Common Stock consist of stock options, non-vested shares (restricted stock) and warrants.  At September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no potential shares of Common Stock that would have a dilutive effect.
 
Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences for financial and income tax reporting related to net operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

All new accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date have been deemed not to be relevant to the Company and are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
