Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 1.	Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
	Nature of business and principles of consolidation:
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Tara Gold Resources Corp. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below.
	On June 3, 2014 Tara Minerals Corp, the Company's subsidiary, amended its Articles of Incorporation changing its name from Tara Minerals Corp. to Firma Holdings Corp. (“Firma Holdings”).
	In May 2005, Tara Gold, through its subsidiary Corporacion Amermin S.A. de C.V. (“Amermin”), began acquiring mining properties in Mexico. In May 2006, the Company formed Firma Holdings Corp. (“Firma Holdings”), which owns 99.9% of the common stock of American Metal Mining S.A. de C.V. (“AMM”), a Mexican corporation. Firma Holdings also owns 87% of the common stock of Adit Resources Corp. (“Adit”). Adit in turns owns 99.99% of American Copper Mining, S.A. de C.V. (“ACM”). All of Tara Gold's operations in Mexico are conducted through Amermin, AMM and ACM since Mexican law provides that only Mexican corporations are allowed to own mining properties. The Company's mining segment is conducted through Amermin, American Metal Mining and Adit Resources.
	As of September 30, 2014, Tara Gold owned approximately 43% of the outstanding common stock of Firma Holdings.
	Tara Gold focuses primarily on gold mining concessions. Firma Holdings has two business segments:  mining and agriculture.  Firma Holding's focus in the agriculture segment is described in Note 5 below.  Firma Holdings' primary focus in the mining segment is also on gold and silver, in addition to industrial minerals, copper, lead, zinc, iron and other associated metals.
	Firma Holding's agricultural segment is conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary Firma IP Corp., a Nevada corporation, which was established in May 2014.
	On May 25, 2011, Tara Gold commenced distributing its shares of Firma Holdings to its shareholders by distributing one share of Firma Holdings for every 20 outstanding shares of Tara Gold. Tara Gold plans to make additional distributions until all Firma Holdings shares held by Tara Gold have been distributed to Tara Gold's shareholders.
	After Tara Gold has distributed all of its Firma Holdings shares, Tara Gold will not have any interest in the business segments of Firma Holdings, AMM, Adit or ACM.
	Both Tara Gold and Firma Holdings may continue their efforts to develop mining properties that are thought to contain commercial quantities of gold, silver and other minerals. Additionally, once the distribution has been completed, the consolidated parent and subsidiary relationship between Tara Gold and Firma Holdings will change.
	In these financial statements, references to "Company," "we," "our," and/or "us," refer to Tara Gold Resources Corp. and, unless the context indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnote information are unaudited. In the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the condensed consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The reporting currency of the Company, Firma Holdings and Adit is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of Amermin, AMM and ACM is the Mexican Peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been re-measured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for nonmonetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with nonmonetary assets and liabilities, and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting re-measurement income (loss) is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss).
	Current and historical exchange rates are not indicative of what future exchange rates will be and should not be construed as such.
	Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for Amermin, AMM and ACM are as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar:
		30-Sep-14
		(Unaudited)
	Current exchange rate	Ps.	13.4891
	Weighted average exchange rate for the nine months ended	Ps.	13.1166
		30-Sep-13
		(Unaudited)
	Current exchange rate	Ps.	13.1450
	Weighted average exchange rate for the nine months ended	Ps.	12.6796
	The Company's significant accounting policies are:
	Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recoverable Value-Added Taxes (IVA) and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Impuesto al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) are recoverable value-added taxes charged by the Mexican government on goods sold and services rendered at a rate of 16%.  Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return and as determined by the Mexican taxing authority. Our allowance in association with our receivable from IVA from our Mexico subsidiaries is based on our determination that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of these taxes.
	Each period, receivables are reviewed for collectability.  When a receivable has doubtful collectability we allow for the receivable until we are either assured of collection (and reverse the allowance) or assured that a write-off is necessary.
			September 30, 2014		31-Dec-13
			(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)
			(Unaudited)
	Allowance – recoverable value-added taxes		$	2,503	$	2,537
	Allowance – other receivables			380		391
	Total		$	2,883	$	2,928
	AMM received refunds of IVA taxes during January and February 2014 for a total refund of $40,489.
	Reclamation and remediation costs (asset retirement obligations)
	Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and abandonment costs.
	Future remediation costs for reprocessing plant and buildings are accrued based on management's best estimate, at the end of each period, of the undiscounted costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, ongoing remediation, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. There were no reclamation and remediation costs incurred or accrued as of September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	Fair Value Accounting
	As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
		Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
		Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
		Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
	Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
	Issued
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The new standard provides guidance as to management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
	Adopted
	In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, "Consolidation” (“ASU 2014-10”). The amendments in ASU 2014-10 removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to: (i) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity; (ii) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (iii) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged; and (iv) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The presentation and disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 915, "Development Stage Entities" are no longer required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards will take effect in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-10 for this unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement [Abstract]	'
Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement	'
	Note 5.	Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement
	On May 28, 2014, Firma Holdings entered into an agreement with FreshTec, Inc. which provides for Firma Holdings to acquire technology which can be used for the preservation and protection of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers during extended periods of shipping and storage. The technology is comprised of patents, trademarks and other intellectual property pertaining to systems and methods for packaging bulk quantities of fresh produce and flowers incorporating modified atmosphere packaging.
	The technology, currently named SmartPac, will be made available to growers, packers and end-users for the packing, storage and shipment of bulk quantities of produce.
	The purchase price for the SmartPac technology is allocated among the following territories:
		•	United States, Mexico and Canada
		•	European Union
		•	All other countries
	In addition to the terms described below to acquire the territories, the agreement provided a stock option to  FreshTec, Inc. for 1,000,000 shares of Firma Holdings's common stock, which vest immediate and have a term of 1 year.
	The value of the intellectual property purchased follows the guidance as prescribed by both the Intangibles and Business Combinations Topics of the FASB ASC which focuses on capturing the transactional costs of an asset acquisition.  As such we have valued the intellectual property based on the hard costs and stock option value of the contract plus legal fees directly related to the purchase.  Excluded from the valuation are items that are solely dependent on selling units of the SmartPac product.  Such payments are only payable should a unit be sold.
		A.	To acquire the rights for the United States, Mexico and Canada, Firma Holdings has paid or must pay FreshTec:
		(i)	$500,000 at closing (paid June 2014) .
		(ii)	$0.25 for each SmartPac unit sold in the United States or Mexico by Firma Holdings plus 50% of the Net Royalties received by Firma Holdings from licensing the rights to use the technology in the United States, Mexico and Canada until such time as FreshTec is paid $14,500,000,
		(iii)	during the six month period following the closing of the transaction, and until Firma Holdings has paid FreshTec $1,000,000, 25% of the Net Royalties received by Firma Holdings from any licensee having the right to sell SmartPac units in the United States, Mexico or Canada, and
		(iv)	after the royalties paid to FreshTec equal $14,500,000, $0.15 for each SmartPac unit sold by Firma Holdings in the United States, Mexico or Canada plus 25% of the Net Royalties received by Firma Holdings from licensing the rights to use the technology in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
	On prior to the end of the fifteen-year period commencing on the closing date of the transaction, if Firma Holdings has not paid FreshTec royalties of $14,500,000, Firma Holdings may, at its option, either pay to FreshTec the difference between $14,500,000 and the royalties paid to FreshTec, or re-convey to FreshTec the rights for the United States, Mexico and Canada.
		B.	To acquire the rights to countries in the European Union Firma Holdings must pay to FreshTec:
		(i)	no later than six months after the closing of the transaction, $1,000,000, less any amounts paid pursuant to A. (iii) above and B. (ii) and (iii) below, or re-convey to FreshTec the rights for the European Union,
		(ii)	$0.25 for each SmartPac unit sold in the European Union by Firma Holdings plus 50% of the Net Royalties received by Firma Holdings from licensing the rights to use the technology in the European Union until such time as FreshTec is paid $14,000,000, and
		(iii)	after the royalties paid to FreshTec equal $14,000,000, $0.15 for each SmartPac unit sold by Firma Holdings in the European Union plus 25% of the Net Royalties received by Firma Holdings from licensing the rights to use the technology in the European Union.
	If Firma Holdings exercises its right to re-convey the technology pursuant to B. (i) above, FreshTec is required to pay to Firma Holdings any amounts spent by Firma Holdings on maintaining or pursuing any patents pertaining to the countries in the European Union and  refund to Firma Holdings any amounts paid to FreshTec pursuant to A (iii).
		C.	To acquire the rights to all other countries Firma Holdings must pay FreshTec:

	There have been no issuances under the Adit plans in 2014.
	On May 28, 2014 Firma Holdings entered into an agreement with FreshTec, Inc. which provides for Firma Holdings to acquire technology which can be used for the preservation and protection of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers during extended periods of shipping and storage. As part of the terms of the agreement Firma Holdings provided stock options to FreshTec, Inc. for 1,000,000 shares of Firma Holdings's common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, which vest immediate and have a term of 1 year.  The stock options were valued at $186,640 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	On August 1, 2014, the Company granted 1,400,000 options to an officer for compensation for work performed.  The options immediately vested, have an exercise price of $0.05 and expire December 31, 2017.  The stock options were valued at $346,286 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	The fair value of awards issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on volatilities from Firma Holdings's traded common stock. The expected term of the award granted is usually estimated at half of the contractual term as noted in the individual agreements, unless the life is one year or less based upon management's assessment of known factors, and represents the period of time that management anticipates awards granted to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for the periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of the grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the options. Historically Firma Holdings has had no forfeitures of options or warrants; therefore, Firma Holdings uses a zero forfeiture rate.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Nature of business and principles of consolidation	'
	Nature of business and principles of consolidation:
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Tara Gold Resources Corp. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below.
	On June 3, 2014 Tara Minerals Corp, the Company's subsidiary, amended its Articles of Incorporation changing its name from Tara Minerals Corp. to Firma Holdings Corp. (“Firma Holdings”).
	In May 2005, Tara Gold, through its subsidiary Corporacion Amermin S.A. de C.V. (“Amermin”), began acquiring mining properties in Mexico. In May 2006, the Company formed Firma Holdings Corp. (“Firma Holdings”), which owns 99.9% of the common stock of American Metal Mining S.A. de C.V. (“AMM”), a Mexican corporation. Firma Holdings also owns 87% of the common stock of Adit Resources Corp. (“Adit”). Adit in turns owns 99.99% of American Copper Mining, S.A. de C.V. (“ACM”). All of Tara Gold's operations in Mexico are conducted through Amermin, AMM and ACM since Mexican law provides that only Mexican corporations are allowed to own mining properties. The Company's mining segment is conducted through Amermin, American Metal Mining and Adit Resources.
	As of September 30, 2014, Tara Gold owned approximately 43% of the outstanding common stock of Firma Holdings.
	Tara Gold focuses primarily on gold mining concessions. Firma Holdings has two business segments:  mining and agriculture.  Firma Holding's focus in the agriculture segment is described in Note 5 below.  Firma Holdings' primary focus in the mining segment is also on gold and silver, in addition to industrial minerals, copper, lead, zinc, iron and other associated metals.
	Firma Holding's agricultural segment is conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary Firma IP Corp., a Nevada corporation, which was established in May 2014.
	On May 25, 2011, Tara Gold commenced distributing its shares of Firma Holdings to its shareholders by distributing one share of Firma Holdings for every 20 outstanding shares of Tara Gold. Tara Gold plans to make additional distributions until all Firma Holdings shares held by Tara Gold have been distributed to Tara Gold's shareholders.
	After Tara Gold has distributed all of its Firma Holdings shares, Tara Gold will not have any interest in the business segments of Firma Holdings, AMM, Adit or ACM.
	Both Tara Gold and Firma Holdings may continue their efforts to develop mining properties that are thought to contain commercial quantities of gold, silver and other minerals. Additionally, once the distribution has been completed, the consolidated parent and subsidiary relationship between Tara Gold and Firma Holdings will change.
	In these financial statements, references to "Company," "we," "our," and/or "us," refer to Tara Gold Resources Corp. and, unless the context indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnote information are unaudited. In the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the condensed consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The reporting currency of the Company, Firma Holdings and Adit is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of Amermin, AMM and ACM is the Mexican Peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been re-measured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for nonmonetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with nonmonetary assets and liabilities, and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting re-measurement income (loss) is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss).
	Current and historical exchange rates are not indicative of what future exchange rates will be and should not be construed as such.
	Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for Amermin, AMM and ACM are as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar:
		30-Sep-14
		(Unaudited)
	Current exchange rate	Ps.	13.4891

	Weighted average exchange rate for the nine months ended	Ps.	12.6796
Estimates	'
	Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recoverable Value-Added Taxes (IVA) and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	'
	Recoverable Value-Added Taxes (IVA) and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Impuesto al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) are recoverable value-added taxes charged by the Mexican government on goods sold and services rendered at a rate of 16%.  Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return and as determined by the Mexican taxing authority. Our allowance in association with our receivable from IVA from our Mexico subsidiaries is based on our determination that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of these taxes.
	Each period, receivables are reviewed for collectability.  When a receivable has doubtful collectability we allow for the receivable until we are either assured of collection (and reverse the allowance) or assured that a write-off is necessary.
			September 30, 2014		31-Dec-13

	AMM received refunds of IVA taxes during January and February 2014 for a total refund of $40,489.
Reclamation and remediation costs (asset retirement obligations)	'
	Reclamation and remediation costs (asset retirement obligations)
	Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and abandonment costs.
	Future remediation costs for reprocessing plant and buildings are accrued based on management's best estimate, at the end of each period, of the undiscounted costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, ongoing remediation, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. There were no reclamation and remediation costs incurred or accrued as of September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Fair Value Accounting	'
	Fair Value Accounting
	As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
		Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
		Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
		Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance	'
	Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
	Issued
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The new standard provides guidance as to management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
	Adopted
	In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, "Consolidation” (“ASU 2014-10”). The amendments in ASU 2014-10 removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to: (i) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity; (ii) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (iii) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged; and (iv) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The presentation and disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 915, "Development Stage Entities" are no longer required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards will take effect in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-10 for this unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
