Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
NATURE OF BUSINESS | In 2013, PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (Company) restructured its operations in an effort to focus on biotechnology, having been primarily a nutraceutical products company in the recent past. The restructuring resulted in the Company focusing all of its efforts upon the development of unique, effective and safe ways to treat cancer and diabetes. On January 6, 2015, the Company changed its name from Nuvilex, Inc. to PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. to better reflect the nature of its business. The Company is now a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing and preparing to commercialize treatments for cancer and diabetes using a proprietary cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology known as Cell-in-a-Box ® On May 26, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (SG Austria APA) with SG Austria Private Limited (SG Austria) to purchase 100% of the assets and liabilities of SG Austria. As a result, Austrianova Singapore Private Limited ("Austrianova") and Bio Blue Bird AG ("Bio Blue Bird"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of SG Austria, were to become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company on the condition that the Company pay SG Austria $2.5 million and 100,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The Company was to receive 100,000 shares of Austrianovas common stock and nine Bio Blue Bird bearer shares. Through two addenda to the SG Austria APA, the closing date of the SG Austria APA was extended twice by mutual agreement of the parties. In June 2013, the Company and SG Austria entered into a Third Addendum to the SG Austria APA (Third Addendum). Under the terms of the Third Addendum, the transaction contemplated by the SG Austria APA changed materially. Pursuant to the Third Addendum, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Bio Blue Bird and received a 14.5% equity interest in SG Austria. In addition, the Company received nine bearer shares of Bio Blue Bird to evidence its 100% ownership. Under the Third Addendum, the Company paid: (i) $500,000 to retire all outstanding debt of Bio Blue Bird; and (ii) $1.0 million to SG Austria. The Company also paid SG Austria $1,572,193 in exchange for the 14.5% equity interest of SG Austria. Pursuant to the Third Addendum, SG Austria returned the original 100,000,000 shares of common stock held by SG Austria to the Company treasury, and the 100,000 Austrianova shares of common stock held by the Company were returned to SG Austria. The acquisition of Bio Blue Bird provided the Company with exclusive, worldwide licenses to use a proprietary cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology for the development of treatments for all forms of cancer using certain types genetically modified human cells. The licenses are pursuant to patents licensed to Bio Blue Bird from Bavarian Nordic A/S and GSF-Forschungszentrum fur Umwelt u. Gesundeit GmbH. These licenses enable the Company to carry out the research and development of cancer treatments that are based upon the Cell-in-a-Box ® In June 2013, the Company acquired from Austrianova an exclusive, worldwide license to use the Cell-in-a-Box ® ® In October 2014, the Company acquired from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) an exclusive, worldwide license to use genetically modified human cells (Melligen Cells) that have been modified to produce, store and release insulin on demand in response to the blood glucose in their surroundings. In addition, the Company obtained the non-exclusive worldwide rights to know-how associated with the Melligen cells. The Company intends to use the Melligen cells, after they have been encapsulated using the Cell-in-a-Box ® In December 2014, the Company acquired from Austrianova an exclusive, worldwide license to use the Cell-in-a-Box ® Cannabis ® |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report") should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes are to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited consolidated financial statement are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission). Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. In the opinion of the Companys management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The Companys 14.5 % investment in SG Austria is presented on the cost method of accounting. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Companys condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company records the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") standard on goodwill and other intangible assets prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis at the end of its fiscal year. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. No impairment was identified or recorded during the period ended July 31, 2015. Earnings per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. For the period ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred losses; therefore, the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during these periods. Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Companys non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values. This is because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined 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 Company adopted ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10"), and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"). These permit entities to choose to measure numerous financial instruments and certain other items at their fair value. Neither ASC 820-10 nor ASC 825-10 had an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, our derivative liability stated at fair value as of July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015.

This prevents them from being considered indexed to the Companys common stock and qualify for an exception to derivative accounting. The Company recognized the derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value (gains or losses) of the derivatives in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Revenue Recognition Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon the prepayment or invoicing and shipment of products. Income Taxes Deferred taxes are calculated using the 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 bases. 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 laws and rates on the date of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets when, in managements judgment, based upon currently available information and other factors, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance is based on an on-going evaluation of current information including, among other things, historical operating results, estimates of future earnings in different taxing jurisdictions and the expected timing of the reversals of temporary differences. The Company believes the determination to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred income tax asset is a significant accounting estimate because it is based, among other things, on an estimate of future taxable income in the United States and certain other jurisdictions. This is because it is susceptible to change, may or may not occur and the impact of adjusting a valuation allowance may be material. In determining when to release the valuation allowance established against the Companys net deferred income tax assets, the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative. Consistent with the Companys policy, and because of the Companys history of operating losses, the Company does not currently recognize the benefit of all of its deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company continually assesses its ability to generate sufficient taxable income during future periods in which deferred tax assets may be realized. If and when the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will recover its deferred tax assets, the Company will reverse the valuation allowance as an income tax benefit in the Companys statements of operations. The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The purpose of this method is to clarify accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized. The U.S. GAAP method of accounting for uncertain tax positions utilizes a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions. Step one, recognition, requires evaluation of the tax position to determine if based solely on technical merits it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Step two, measurement, is addressed only if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. In step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities. If a position does not meet the more likely than not threshold for recognition in step one, no benefit is recorded until the first subsequent period in which the more likely than not standard is met, the issue is resolved with the taxing authority or the statute of limitations expires. Positions previously recognized are reversed when the Company subsequently determines the position no longer is more likely than not to be sustained. Evaluation of tax positions, their technical merits and measurements using cumulative probability are highly subjective management estimates. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for direct and overhead-related research expenses and are expensed as incurred. Costs to acquire technologies, including licenses, that are utilized in research and development and that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred. Technology developed for use in the Companys product candidates is expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. Stock-Based Compensation The Companys stock-based employee compensation awards are described in Note 6. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, which requires the fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to directors, executives and employees. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains most of its cash balance at a financial institution located in California. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances aggregated approximately $2,660,000 at July 31, 2015. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Foreign Currency Translation The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary from the local (functional) currencies to US dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters Reclassification Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in this Report, with no changes in net loss for prior periods presented. Recent Accounting Pronouncements We have reviewed all of the recent accounting pronouncements and have determined that they have not or will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements, or simply do not apply to the Companys operations. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS | Stock Options As of July 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding stock options held by its directors, officers and an employee that were issued pursuant to compensation and director agreements. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock The fair value of the stock options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on the following assumptions: July 31, 2015 2014 Risk-free interest rate 2.0% Expected volatility 145% Expected lives (years) 2.2 Expected dividend yield 0.00% The Companys computation of expected volatility is based on the historical daily volatility of its publicly traded stock. For stock option grants issued during the periods ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company used a calculated volatility for each grant. The Company lacks adequate information about the exercise behavior at this time and has determined the expected term assumption under the simplified method provided for under ASC 718, which averages the contractual term of the Companys stock options of five years with the average vesting term of two and one fifth years for an average of two and two third years. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and presently has no intention of paying cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of the grant for instruments with a similar expected life. No amounts relating to employee stock-based compensation have been capitalized. Presented below is the Companys stock option activity for employees and directors: The weighted average fair value of the outstanding stock options during the periods ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 are $0.10 and $0, respectively. A summary of the activity for unvested employee stock options during the periods ended July 31, 2015 is presented below: Options Outstanding Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share Nonvested, April 30, 2015 6,600,000 $ 0.10 Granted Vested 1,800,000 0.10 Forfeited Nonvested, July 31, 2015 4,800,000 $ 0.10 The Company recorded approximately $145,000 and $0 of non-cash charges related to the vesting of stock options to certain directors and employees in exchange for services during the periods ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At July 31, 2015, there remained approximately $387,000 (subject to change in the future based on vesting date fair value) of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee stock options to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of one year.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | The Company had no income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014. During the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had net operating loss (NOLs) which generated deferred tax assets for NOL carryforwards. The Company provided valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets including the deferred tax assets for NOL carryforwards. Valuation allowances provided for the net deferred tax asset increased by approximately $300,000 and $420,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014. There was no material difference between the effective tax rate and the projected blended statutory tax rate for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and 2014. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the available objective evidence, including the history of operating losses and the uncertainty of generating future taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at July 31, 2015 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has maintained a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset at July 31, 2015. There have been no changes to the Companys liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended July 31, 2015. The Companys policy is to recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the periods ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had accrued no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015 for additional information regarding income taxes. |

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACC18
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Jul. 31, 2015 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited consolidated financial statement are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission). Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. In the opinion of the Companys management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The Companys 14.5 % investment in SG Austria is presented on the cost method of accounting. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Companys condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company records the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") standard on goodwill and other intangible assets prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis at the end of its fiscal year. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. No impairment was identified or recorded during the period ended July 31, 2015. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. For the period ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred losses; therefore, the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during these periods. |
Fair value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Companys non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values. This is because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined 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 Company adopted ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10"), and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"). These permit entities to choose to measure numerous financial instruments and certain other items at their fair value. Neither ASC 820-10 nor ASC 825-10 had an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, our derivative liability stated at fair value as of July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015.

Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company issued cashless warrants that are accounted for as a derivative instruments. This prevents them from being considered indexed to the Companys common stock and qualify for an exception to derivative accounting. The Company recognized the derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value (gains or losses) of the derivatives in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon the prepayment or invoicing and shipment of products. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred taxes are calculated using the 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 bases. 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 laws and rates on the date of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets when, in managements judgment, based upon currently available information and other factors, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance is based on an on-going evaluation of current information including, among other things, historical operating results, estimates of future earnings in different taxing jurisdictions and the expected timing of the reversals of temporary differences. The Company believes the determination to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred income tax asset is a significant accounting estimate because it is based, among other things, on an estimate of future taxable income in the United States and certain other jurisdictions. This is because it is susceptible to change, may or may not occur and the impact of adjusting a valuation allowance may be material. In determining when to release the valuation allowance established against the Companys net deferred income tax assets, the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative. Consistent with the Companys policy, and because of the Companys history of operating losses, the Company does not currently recognize the benefit of all of its deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company continually assesses its ability to generate sufficient taxable income during future periods in which deferred tax assets may be realized. If and when the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will recover its deferred tax assets, the Company will reverse the valuation allowance as an income tax benefit in the Companys statements of operations. The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The purpose of this method is to clarify accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized. The U.S. GAAP method of accounting for uncertain tax positions utilizes a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions. Step one, recognition, requires evaluation of the tax position to determine if based solely on technical merits it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Step two, measurement, is addressed only if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. In step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities. If a position does not meet the more likely than not threshold for recognition in step one, no benefit is recorded until the first subsequent period in which the more likely than not standard is met, the issue is resolved with the taxing authority or the statute of limitations expires. Positions previously recognized are reversed when the Company subsequently determines the position no longer is more likely than not to be sustained. Evaluation of tax positions, their technical merits and measurements using cumulative probability are highly subjective management estimates. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for direct and overhead-related research expenses and are expensed as incurred. Costs to acquire technologies, including licenses, that are utilized in research and development and that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred. Technology developed for use in the Companys product candidates is expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Companys stock-based employee compensation awards are described in Note 6. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, which requires the fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to directors, executives and employees. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains most of its cash balance at a financial institution located in California. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances aggregated approximately $2,660,000 at July 31, 2015. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary from the local (functional) currencies to US dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters |
Reclassifications | Reclassification Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in this Report, with no changes in net loss for prior periods presented. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements We have reviewed all of the recent accounting pronouncements and have determined that they have not or will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements, or simply do not apply to the Companys operations. |
