3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures 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. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances are for deferred income taxes, expected realizable values for long-lived assets, derivative liability and contingencies, as well as the recording and presentation of its common stock issuances. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Principle of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of All Grade Mining, Inc. and Subsidiary include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, All Grade Mining Chile, SA. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. All Grade Mining Chile, S.A. was formed in November 2011, has yet to commence operations and has minimal assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company did not have any cash equivalents. Property and Equipment Property and equipment consists primarily of furniture and fixtures and is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (seven years) of the related assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment are reflected in the statement of operations in the period of disposal. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the recoverability of its long lived assets, including property and equipment when there are indications that the assets might be impaired. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset to the asset’s estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows used in this analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $3,907 for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the Company’s discontinued focus in the therapeutic horseshoe industry refocusing its efforts on raising capital and developing markets for the mining industry Stock-based compensation The Company reports stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, warrants to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, which require that each such equity instrument be recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted. During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not grant any options or warrants. Earnings per Share Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed conversion of debt and convertible preferred stock. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Derivative Financial Instruments In connection with the issuance of certain convertible debentures, the terms of the convertible debentures included an embedded conversion feature which provided for a conversion of the convertible debentures into shares of common stock at a rate which was determined to be variable. The Company determined that the conversion feature was an embedded derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion options at their fair values as of the inception date of the convertible debenture agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into the convertible promissory note, the Company was required to classify all other conversion options as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in fair value of derivative liability for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. The fair value of conversion options at a fixed number of shares are recorded using the intrinsic value method and conversion options at variable rates are deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815. Since, “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Intrinsic Value Method to be materially the same. Reclassification Certain accounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year’s financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings. Mineral Property Costs The Company is in the development stage and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company will classify its mineral rights as tangible assets and accordingly acquisition costs will be initially capitalized as mineral property costs. Generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred until commercially mineable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves. The Company accounts for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-term tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has not incurred any potential costs related to the retirement of mineral property interests since commercial mining operations have not commenced. Reclamation and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligation) Upon commencement of commercial operations, the Company will accrue costs associated with environmental remediation obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations. In accordance with ASC 410-20-25, Asset Retirement Obligations -Recognition, the Company will record a liability for the present value of the estimated environmental remediation costs in the period in which the liability is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made. As reclamation work is performed or liabilities are otherwise settled, the recorded amount of the liability will be reduced. The Company will accrue costs associated with any environmental remediation obligation when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Estimates for reclamation and other closure costs are prepared in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, or ASC 410-30-25, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations - Recognition. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation will not be discounted to their present value unless subject to a contractually obligated fixed payment schedule. Such costs will be based on management’s then current best estimate of amounts to be incurred when the remediation work is performed, within current laws and regulations. Future reclamation and environmental-related expenditures are difficult to estimate, in many circumstances, due to the early stage nature of the exploration project, and uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental disturbance and the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation or remediation technology. The Company will be required to periodically review accrued liabilities for such reclamation and remediation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that the liabilities have potentially changed. Changes in estimates will be reflected in the statement of operations in the period an estimate is revised. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s foreign subsidiary’s operations are calculated using the Chilean Peso and are translated at end-of-period exchange rates while the related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses were immaterial from the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Comprehensive Income (Loss) The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its combined financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments affecting stockholders’ equity that under US GAAP are excluded from net loss. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the differences between net income as reported and comprehensive income were not material. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts payable, and borrowings, approximates their fair value due to the relatively short maturity (three months) of these instruments. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising charges incurred for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were nominal. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain accounting standards updates and regulations as of December 31, 2012 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management of the Company does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2012 or 2011, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.
