ARTCRAFT III, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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. At this time, the Company has set up an allowance for deferred taxes as there is no company history to indicate the usage of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company's financial instruments may include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and liabilities to banks and shareholders. The carrying amount of long-term debt to banks approximates fair value based on interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments approximate their fair value because of short-term maturities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of operating demand deposit accounts. The Company's policy is to place its operating demand deposit accounts with high credit quality financial institutions. At this time the Company has no deposits that are at risk.
2. | Related Party Transactions and Going Concern: |
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern in the development stage, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At this time the Company has not identified the business that it wishes to engage in.
The Company's shareholders fund the Company's activities while The Company takes
steps to locate and negotiate with a business entity for combination; however,
there can be no assurance these activities will be successful.
