Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of APT Systems have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In our opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the condensed financial statements not misleading.  Operating results for the three and nine month ended October 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ended January 31, 2018.   For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2017 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815.  The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification.  The Company’s policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, all of which have a fiscal year end of January 31. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.
