Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Profire Energy, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Companys accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). Profire Energy, Inc. was established on October 9, 2008 upon the closing of an Acquisition Agreement between The Flooring Zone, Inc. and Profire Combustion, Inc. and the shareholders of Profire Combustion, Inc. (the Subsidiary). Following the closing of the agreement The Flooring Zone, Inc. was renamed Profire Energy, Inc. (the Parent). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, 35,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company were issued to the three shareholders of the Subsidiary in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary. As a result of the transaction, the Subsidiary became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent and the shareholders of the Subsidiary became the controlling shareholders of the Company. Organization and Line of Business The Parent was incorporated on May 5, 2003 in the State of Nevada. The Subsidiary was incorporated on March 6, 2002 in the province of Alberta, Canada. The Company provides burner and chemical management products and services for the oil and gas industry in the Canadian and US markets. Reclassification Certain balances in previously issued consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reportable amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include our wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The computation of basic loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented using the treasury stock method. The computation of fully diluted loss per share includes common stock equivalents outstanding at the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Company had 332,794 and 69,190 common stock equivalents from equity awards that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share are as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders $ (605,295) $ (458,813) Weighted average shares outstanding 53,256,333 53,214,594 Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding 53,256,333 53,214,594 Basic earnings per share $ (0.01) $ (0.01) Fully diluted earnings per share $ (0.01) $ (0.01) Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries in the U.S. and Canada are the U.S. Dollar ("USD") and the Canadian Dollar ("CAD"), respectively. The financial statements of the Company were translated to USD using period end exchange rates for the balance sheet, and average exchange rates for the statements of operations. Equity transactions were translated using historical rates. The period-end exchange rates of 0.772081 and 0.7711 were used to convert the Companys June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 balance sheets, respectively, and the statements of operations used weighted average rates of 0.772962 and 0.811950 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. All amounts in the financial statements and footnotes are presumed to be stated in USD, unless otherwise identified. Foreign currency translation gains or losses as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), and the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value. The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and all debt securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less. As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $22,043,090 and $21,292,595 respectively. Accounts Receivable Receivables from the sale of goods and services are stated at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance is calculated based on past collectability and customer relationships. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $268,464 and $250,646 as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Inventories In accordance with ARB No. 43 Inventory Pricing, For the Period Ending June 30, 2016 March 31, 2016 Raw materials $ 716,949 $ 967,823 Finished goods 9,484,322 10,316,857 Work in process - - Subtotal 10,201,271 11,284,680 Reserve for Obsolence (229,919) (237,998) Total $ 9,971,352 $ 11,046,682 Long-Lived Assets We periodically review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the assets carrying amount. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. Other Intangible Assets The Company accounts for Other Intangible Assets under the guidance of ASC 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to patent technology, as a substantial portion of the purchase price related to the Companys acquisition of VIM assets has been assigned to patents. Under the guidance, Other Intangible Assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Goodwill Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition, is reviewed for impairment annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceed their fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (ASC 350). Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Companys two operating segments comprise the reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Revenue Recognition The Company records sales when a firm sales agreement is in place, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectability of the fixed or determinable sales price is reasonably assured. If customer acceptance of products is not assured, the Company records sales only upon formal customer acceptance. Cost of Sales The Company includes product costs (i.e. material, direct labor and overhead costs), shipping and handling expense, production-related depreciation expense and product license agreement expense in cost of sales. Advertising Costs The Company classifies expenses for advertising as general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred advertising costs of $32,141 and $20,240 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment. which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock based compensation. Income Taxes The Parent is subject to US income taxes on a stand-alone basis. The Parent and its Subsidiary file separate stand-alone tax returns in each jurisdiction in which they operate. The Subsidiary is a corporation operating in Canada and is subject to Canadian income taxes on its stand-alone taxable income. The effective rates of income tax expense (benefit) are (29%) and (25%) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the basis of assets and liabilities as reported for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of net operating loss and tax credit carryovers and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Realization of certain deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any. The Company makes estimates and judgments in determining the need for a provision for income taxes, including the estimation of our taxable income for each full fiscal year. Research and Development All costs associated with research and development are expensed when incurred. Costs incurred for research and development were $250,722 and $304,489 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs The Company records all amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling fees as revenue. The Company classifies expenses for shipping and handling costs as cost of goods sold. The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $37,715 and $85,326 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) as currently reported by the Company adjusted for other comprehensive items. Other comprehensive items for the Company consist of foreign currency translation gains and losses and unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Property and Equipment Useful Lives Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the diminishing balance method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: Assets Estimated useful life Furniture and fixtures 7 Years Machinery and equipment 7 Years Buildings 30 Years Vehicles 5 Years Computers 3 Years Software 2 Years Beginning in fiscal year 2016, we revised the estimated useful lives from 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, and machinery and equipment, 25 to 30 years for buildings, 3 to 5 years for vehicles, and added a software asset type that has a useful life of 2 years. The change in depreciable lives is considered a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis from April 1, 2015 and had an immaterial impact on overall financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2016. |
