Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with accounting standard ASC 820-10-50, "Fair Value Measurements."  This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at market interest rates and are also short-term in nature.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

From time to time our cash balances, held at a major financial institution, exceed the federally insured limits of $250,000.  Our management believes that the financial institution is financially sound and the risk of loss is low.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the statement of cash flows, any liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The computation of basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year.

 

The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents as detailed in the following chart.  For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the inclusion of these shares on the consolidated statement of operations would have resulted in a weighted average shares fully diluted number that was anti-dilutive and as such they are excluded.

159,883,328

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Under the liability method, future tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the financial statements and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax law and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
