SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash includes petty cash and cash held on current bank accounts. Cash equivalents include short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 consisted mainly of USD denominated current accounts held at major banks.

 

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value after deducting provisions for uncollectible amounts.

 

Trade and Other Payables– Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are stated at their nominal value.

 

Loans and Other Borrowings– All loans and borrowings are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

Borrowing Costs– Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Income Taxes– Income tax has been computed based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or non-tax deductible.

 

The Company has adopted accounting rules under which the deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

Deferred tax is calculated at rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. It is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company follows the FASB standard related to fair value measurement. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The recorded values of long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows.

 

· Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

· Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

· Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts payable and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. 

 

The following table presents assets that were measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the years then ended on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:

 

                      Total  
                      Realized  
Description   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Loss  
    $ -     $ -     $ -     $ -  
 Totals   $ -     $ -     $ -     $ -  

 

Revenue Recognition – The Company is not currently generating revenue; however, revenue generated in the future will be recognized in accordance with SEC rules.  The four criteria that must be met in order to recognize revenue are: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share – Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with current accounting literature. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Current accounting literature establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, current accounting literature requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Foreign exchange translation gains and losses of the Company are reflected in comprehensive gains and losses.
