2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' |
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s September 30, 2011 audited financial statements as previously filed. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant: |
|
Development Stage Company |
|
The Company complies with the FASB ASC 915 Development Stage Entities and the Securities and Exchange Commission Act 7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage. |
|
Consolidated Financial Statements |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its three subsidiaries, SoFit Mobile Inc., 6584292 Canada, Inc. and InterAmerican Operations, Inc. 6584292 Canada, Inc. and SoFit Mobile Inc. are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. 6584292 Canada, Inc is inactive. InterAmerican Gaming, Inc. and InterAmerican Operations, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of Nevada. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. |
|
Non-controlling interest |
|
Non-controlling interest represents the interests of outside shareholders in the operating results and net assets of SoFit Mobile Inc. The non-controlling interest represents 19.9% of SoFit Mobile Inc. |
|
Foreign Currency Translation |
|
SoFit Mobile Inc.’s functional currency is in Canadian Dollars and it maintains its books and records in Canadian Dollars, the Company’s financial statements are converted to U.S. Dollars. The translation method used is the current rate method. Under the current rate method all assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate, stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the reporting period. Due to the fact that items in the financial statements are being translated at different rates according to their nature, a translation adjustment is created. This translation adjustment has been included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). |
|
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in CAD into USD for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows: |
|
| | December 31, | | September 30, |
2011 | 2011 |
Period-end CAD-USD exchange rate | | $ | 0.9833 | | | $ | 0.954 | |
Average Period CAD-USD exchange rate | | $ | 0.9774 | | | $ | 1.0135 | |
|
|
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity date of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. |
|
HST Receivable |
|
The Company is required to pay Harmonized Sales Tax ("HST") on the goods and services provided by its suppliers. This is a value added tax that is refunded back to the Company by the Government of Canada. The Company currently has a large receivable due as a result of this tax and expects to receive the refund upon the filing of its overdue income tax returns. |
|
Acquisitions and Business Combinations |
|
The Company accounts for acquisitions and business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The Company includes the results of operations of the acquired business from the acquisition date. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired are included in intangible assets and goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |
|
Research and Development Cost |
|
In accordance with FASB ASC 985-Software, expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in the income statement when it is incurred. |
|
Expenditure on development activities, where research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials and direct labor. Other development expenditure is recognized in the income statement as an expense is incurred. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company follows FASB ASC 740-Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the assets and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. |
|
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, HST receivable, due to and due from related parties, bank overdraft and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. |
|
Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows: |
|
| ● | Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| ● | Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| ● | Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. | | | | | | |
|
In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. |
|
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
|
The Company reports basic earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and warrants which are convertible to common shares. Diluted loss per share is not presented if the results would be “anti-dilutive”. |
|
Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
|
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. |
