| Basis of presentation and consolidation | ' |
| Basis of presentation and consolidation |
|
| The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Group have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. |
|
| On June 29, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for all non governmental entities Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification does not change US GAAP but takes previously issued FASB standards and other U.S. GAAP authoritative pronouncements, changes the way the standards are referred to, and includes them in specific topic arrears. The adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Group's financial statements. |
|
| The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Group and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
| The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the years are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal. |
|
| The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X. They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company's management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results as of and for the period April 15, 2011 (date of inception) to June 30, 2014. |
|
| The Company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage under ASC 915-15. The functional currency is the United States dollar, and the financial statements are presented in United States dollars. |
| Use of estimates | ' |
| Use of estimates |
|
| In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Concentrations of credit risk | ' |
| Concentrations of credit risk |
|
| Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. In respect of accounts receivable, the Group extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without requiring collateral or other security. In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsibility for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. Further, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Group consider that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit, the concentrations of credit risk is no longer applicable in the current operation. |
| Concentrations of supplier risk | ' |
| Concentrations of supplier risk |
|
| The Group relies on Thai Airways as its major supplier of air tickets and tour packages. If this supplier became unwilling to cooperate with the Group, the Group would have to find alternative resources, which could materially affect the Group's ability to generate revenue and profitability. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit, the concentrations of supplier risk is no longer applicable in the current operation. |
| Cash and cash equivalents | ' |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
|
| Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of six months or less. |
| Restricted cash | ' |
| Restricted cash |
|
| Certain cash balances are held as security for short-term bank guarantee deposit for the International Air Transport Association and are classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit, the Company did not have any restricted cash in the current operation. |
| Accounts receivable | ' |
| Accounts receivable |
|
| Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Group extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable. |
|
| The Group has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. |
| Plant and equipment | ' |
| Plant and equipment |
|
| Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized. |
|
| Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates: |
|
| | | | |
| Furniture and fixtures | 20% - 50% | | |
| Office equipment | 20% | | |
| | | | |
| Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. |
| Revenue recognition | ' |
| Revenue recognition |
|
| The Group recognizes revenue when it is earned and realizable based on the following criteria: persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
| The Group also evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross versus a net basis through application of Emerging Issues Task Force No. ("EITF") 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The consensus of this literature is that the presentation of revenue as "the gross amount billed to a customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of goods or services or the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to a customer less the amount paid to a supplier) because it has earned a commission or fee" is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. In making an evaluation of this issue, some of the factors that should be considered are: whether the Group is the primary obligor in the arrangement (strong indicator); whether it has general inventory risk (before customer 1 order is placed under or upon customer return)(strong indicator); and whether we have latitude in establishing price. The guidance clearly indicates that the evaluations of these factors, which at times can be contradictory, are subject to significant judgment and subjectivity. If the conclusion drawn is that the Group performs as an agent or a broker without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of goods, revenue should be reported on a net basis. |
|
| The Group has the following three types of revenues: |
|
| -Retail and corporate travel service revenues, |
|
| -Referral fee for travel booking services, and |
|
| -Incentive commission from travel suppliers. |
|
| Retail and corporate travel service revenues |
|
| Revenues from retail and corporate travel services are recognized when the travel service provided by the Group is completely delivered. The Group presents revenue from such transactions on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations, as the Group acts as a principal, assumes inventory and credit risks, and has primary obligations to the airlines or hotels for cancelled air tickets, packaged tour products or hotel reservations. The Group also has latitude in determining the ticket prices. The Group changes the product by combining air ticket and hotel accommodations with local car transportation and other ancillary services to make it a holiday package or business travel solution for customers. |
|
| Referral fee for travel booking services |
|
| The Group receives referral fee from travel product providers for booking travel services through the Group. The itinerary and product price are generally fixed by the travel product providers and the Group books the travel services on behalf of the customers. Referral fees from travel booking services rendered are recognized as commissions after the services are rendered and collections are reasonably assured. The Group presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations, as the Group acts as an agent, does not assume any inventory and credit risks, has no obligations for cancelled airline or hotel ticket reservations, and does not have latitude in determining the service prices. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit, the prior revenue recognition models are no longer applicable in the current operation. |
|
| Incentive commission from travel suppliers |
|
| The Group earns an incentive commission from many travel suppliers. Contracts with certain travel suppliers contain discretionary escalating commissions that are paid to the Group subject to achieving specific performance targets. Such discretionary escalating commissions are recognized on an accrual basis because such commissions are usually paid in arrears and the Group can reasonably estimate such commissions. The Group presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the statements of operations, as the Group acts as an agent, does not assume any inventory risk, and has no obligations for cancelled airline ticket reservations. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit, the concentrations of credit risk is no longer applicable in the current operation. |
| Deferred revenue | ' |
| Deferred revenue |
|
| The Group records deferred revenue when it receives payments in advance of the completion of delivery of travel services. Hence, revenue from retail and corporate travel service is deferred. Upon completion of delivery of travel services, the Group recognized this as sales in the consolidated statement of operations. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit, the prior deferred revenue is no longer applicable in the current operation. |
| Deferred cost | ' |
| Deferred cost |
|
| The Group adopted an identical policy on retail and corporate service. The Group records deferred cost when it pays in advance of the completion of delivery of services and consistently with deferred revenue. Upon completion of delivery of travel services, deferred cost is charged to cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit, the prior deferred cost is no longer applicable in the current operation. |
| Advertising expenses | ' |
| Advertising expenses |
|
| Advertising expenses are charged to expense as incurred. |
|
| After March 4, 2013, the Company had spun-off the prior operation unit and merged with a new operation unit. |
|
| Advertising expenses incurred in the operation was $7,754 and $0 for the six months ended Jun 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively. |
| Income Taxes | ' |
| Income Taxes |
|
| Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
|
| The FASB issued Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740 (ASC 740) "Income Taxes". ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This requires that an entity recognized in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have any impact on the Group's results of operations or financial condition for the six months ended June 30, 2014. As of the date of the adoption of ASC 740, the Group has no material unrecognized tax benefit which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Group has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. |
| Comprehensive income | ' |
| Comprehensive income |
|
| Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded as a component of stockholders' equity. The Group's other comprehensive income represented foreign currency translation adjustments. |
| Foreign currency translation | ' |
| Foreign currency translation |
|
| The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollars ("US$"). Transactions in foreign currencies during the period are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing at that date. All transaction differences are recorded in the income statement. |
| The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (US$). The Company's subsidiary in Hong Kong has its local currency, Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$"), as its functional currency. On consolidation, the financial statements of the Company's subsidiary in Hong Kong is translated from HK$ into US$ in accordance with ASC Topic 830 "Foreign Currency Matters". During 2013 and 2014, the Hong Kong dollars are translated from HK$ with a ratio of US$1.00=$7.80, a fixed exchange rate maintained between Hong Kong and United States derived from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority pegging HK$ and US$ monetary policy. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates and all income and expenditure items are translated at the average rates for each of the period. Translation of amounts from HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchanges rates for the respective periods: |
| | | | |
| | Six Months ended | | Six Months ended |
| | 30-Jun-14 | | 30-Jun-13 |
| Year(Period) end HK$ : US$ exchange rate | | 7.8 | | 7.8 |
| Average yearly(periodically) HK$ : US$ exchange rate | | 7.8 | | 7.8 |

| Fair value of financial instruments |
|
| The carrying values of the Group's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates. |
| Basic and diluted earnings per share | ' |
| Basic and diluted earnings per share |
|
| The Group computes earnings per share ("EPS') in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 ("ASC 260") "Earnings Per Share", and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. |
| The calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for six months ended June 30, 2014 is based on the estimate fair value of the Group's common stock during such periods applied to options using the treasury stock method to determine if they are dilutive. |
|
| Effective on October 19, 2011, each of ten (10) shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the "Old Common Stock" shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be reclassified as and changed into one (1) share of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, the "New Common Stock." |
| The following tables are a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented: |

| Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
|
| In January 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard's broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial statement users. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11. |
|
| In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. |
|
| The new amendments will require an organization to: |
|
| Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. |
|
| Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. |
|
| The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). A private company is required to meet the reporting requirements of the amended paragraphs about the roll forward of accumulated other comprehensive income for both interim and annual reporting periods. However, private companies are only required to provide the information about the effect of reclassifications on line items of net income for annual reporting periods, not for interim reporting periods. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted. |
|
| In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-03, Financial Instruments (Topic 825). This ASU clarifies the scope and applicability of a disclosure exemption that resulted from the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendment clarifies that the requirement to disclose "the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety (Level 1, 2, or 3)" does not apply to nonpublic entities for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which fair value is disclosed. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-200-Financial Instruments (Topic 825) which has been deleted. The amendments are effective upon issuance. |
|
| In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This ASU provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2014, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the ASU's scope that exist at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year of adoption. An entity may elect to use hindsight for the comparative periods (if it changed its accounting as a result of adopting the amendments in this ASU) and should disclose that fact. Early adoption is permitted. |
|
| In March 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830). This ASU resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation-Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters-Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights)within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF11Ar-Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities the amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments should be applied prospectively to de-recognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year of adoption. |
|
| In April 2013, FASB Accounting Standards Update 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. This ASU clarifies when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. Liquidation is the process by which a company converts its assets to cash or other assets and settles its obligations with creditors in anticipation of ceasing all of its activities. An organization in liquidation must prepare its financial statements using a basis of accounting that communicates information to users of those financial statements to enable those users to develop expectations about how much the organization will have available for distribution to investors after disposing of its assets and settling its obligations. The ASU requires organization to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is "imminent." Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces (e.g., involuntary bankruptcy). In cases where a plan for liquidation was specified in the organization's governing documents at inception (e.g., limited-life entities), the organization should apply the liquidation basis of accounting only if the approved plan for liquidation differs from the plan for liquidation that was specified in the organization's governing documents. The ASU requires financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis to present relevant information about a company's resources and obligations in liquidation, including the following: |
|
| | | | |
| l | The organization's assets measured at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation, including any items it had not previously recognized under U.S. GAAP that it expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities (e.g., trademarks). | | |
| l | The organization's liabilities as recognized and measured in accordance with existing guidance that applies to those liabilities. | | |
| l | Accrual of the costs it expects to incur and the income it expects to earn during liquidation, including any anticipated disposal costs. | | |
|
| This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. |
|
| In July 2013, The FASB has published Accounting Standards Update 2013-09, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Disclosures for Nonpublic Employee Benefit Plans in Update No. 2011-04. This ASU defers indefinitely certain disclosures about investments held by nonpublic employee benefit plans in their plan sponsors' own nonpublic equity securities. The ASU was approved by the FASB on June 12, 2013. ASU No. 2013-09, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Disclosures for Nonpublic Employee Benefit Plans in Update No. 2011-04, applies to disclosures of certain quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurement for investments held by certain employee benefit plans. |
|
| In July 2013, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. |
|
| Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. |
