SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statemtnes present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magna-Lab Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardiac MRI, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Income Taxes – The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in accounting for income taxes. The Company uses the asset and liability approach to financial reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company also complies with GAAP in accounting for uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011.  However, the Company's conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expenses, respectively.  No interest expense or penalties have been recognized as of and for the years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011.  Generally, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2008.

 

Net Loss Per Share – The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of GAAP in reporting its earnings per share. Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Class A Common and Class B Common shares outstanding.

 

Basic (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. In the fiscal years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, there are no options, warrants or derivative securities outstanding. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share were the same for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under GAAP, approximate the carrying amounts presented in the balance sheets.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can, and in many cases will, differ from those estimates.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company complies with the GAAP accounting and reporting requirements for its Share-Based Payments. GAAP requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments in the consolidated financial statements based on the grant date fair value of those awards. The Company has elected to adopt this new standard using the “modified prospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements beginning with the effective date for all share-based payments granted after that date and for all unvested share-based payments granted before the effective date.

 

Stock awards to consultants and other non-employees are accounted for based on an estimate of their fair value at the time of grant and, in the instance of options and warrants, are based upon a Black Scholes option valuation model.

 

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with generally the following weighted-average assumptions: risk free rate of 5%; no dividend yield; option lives of five to nine years and expected volatility in excess of 200%.
