Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General Organization and Business

The Company was originally incorporated as “Naxos Resources Ltd.” (“Naxos” in British Columbia under the Canada Business Corporation act on May 23, 1986, with its principal place of business in Vancouver, BC.  In 2000, The Company moved its executive and administrative offices to San Francisco, CA, USA, effectively ending its business connections with Canada.

On October 15, 2001, the shareholders approved the domiciliation of the Company to the United States.  On October 29, 2001, Articles of Incorporation and Articles of Domestication were filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada and Naxos was “continued” as a Nevada Corporation under the name of Franklin Lake Resources, Inc.  On January 3, 2002, Industry Canada Issued a Certificate of Discontinuance, formally ending the Company’s legal ties to Canada.  On January 9, 2002, the name change to Franklin Lake Resources, Inc. became effective for trading purposes.

The Company was in the business of exploring for precious metals, developing processes for extracting them from the earth and if warranted, developing sites for possible exploration.  As of November 2008, the Company has refocused its operations and now operates as a retail store under the name Seen On Screen TV, Inc.  The Company trades under the symbol SONT.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the period ending January 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of January 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market and is computed on a first-in first-out basis.  The inventory consists of a selection of products that have been previously marketed via infomercials on various cable and TV stations across the nation. These products are sourced from the original marketing company and from generic suppliers serving the same niche.

Accounts receivable

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount.  Accounts receivable are written off to bad debt expense using the direct write-off method.  Receivables past due for more than 120 days are considered delinquent.  Management determines uncollectible accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at January 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011. The Company did not engage in any transaction involving derivative instruments.

Federal income taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive.

Internal Website Development Costs

Under ASC350-50, Website Development Costs, costs and expenses incurred during the planning and operating stages of the Company’s website are expensed as incurred.  Under ASC 350-50, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stages are capitalized by the Company and amortized to expense over the website’s estimated useful life or period of benefit.  

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed.  At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital raised.  Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is terminated.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

The Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed.  At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital raised.  Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is terminated.

Common Stock Registration Expenses

The Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions.  As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as incurred.

Advertising:

The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred.  The advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 were $4,237 and $6,371, respectively

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

As of and for the quarters ended January 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company does not expect any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
