Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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 (primarily property and equipment), 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 condensed 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 condensed 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.
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 Companys own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.
Reclassification
Certain accounts in the prior years financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current years financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain accounting standards updates and regulations as of September 30, 2013 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 Companys financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during the periods reported upon, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective. |
