NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES |
|
Basis of Presentation |
|
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are presented in United States dollars (“USD”). Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The Company follows accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on “Fair Value Measurements” for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the FASB requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. |
|
The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows: |
|
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | | |
| | | |
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. | | |
| | | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. | | |
|
The Company discloses the estimated fair value for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of short-term financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, costs in excess of billings on uncompleted projects, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted projects, and accrued interest approximates book value due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of property and equipment is estimated to approximate its net book value. The fair value of debt obligations, other than convertible loans payable approximates their face values due to their short-term maturities and/or the variable rates of interest associated with the underlying obligation. |
|
Concentration of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. |
|
Basic Income (Loss) per Common Share |
|
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of an award, if any, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the estimated tax benefits that would be recorded in paid-in capital, if any, when an award is settled are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. |
|
During the year ended April 30, 2014, the Company excluded 6,100,000 common stock equivalents related to options outstanding, 10,000,000 common stock equivalents related to warrants outstanding, 37,640,760 shares issuable under the convertible loans payable and accrued interest as their effects would have been anti-dilutive. |
|
The following is a summary of outstanding securities which have been included in the calculation of diluted net income per share and reconciliation of net income to net income available to common stock holders for the year ended April 30, 2013: |

|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
Accounts receivable is generated from contracts for projects. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against accounts receivable for amounts management believes may be uncollectible. The Company determines the adequacy of this allowance by regularly evaluating the customer receivables and at time obtaining prepayments on contracts. During the years ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable was $34,000 and $0, respectively. |
|
Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computer equipment is depreciated over the period of three years. |
|
Convertible Debt |
|
Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC 740 “Beneficial Conversion Features”. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the fair value of warrants, if any, issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to paid-in-capital. |
|
The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee options for purposes of ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used. Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded as a debt discount or premium and is amortized over the expected term of the convertible debt to interest expense. For a conversion price change of a convertible debt issue, the additional intrinsic value of the debt conversion feature, calculated as the number of additional shares issuable due to a conversion price change multiplied by the previous conversion price, is recorded as additional debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the debt. |
|
The Company accounts for modifications of its BCF’s in accordance with ASC 470 “Modifications and Exchanges”. ASC 470 requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion feature and the subsequent recognition of interest expense or the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
For contracts in which the Company can reasonably estimate the costs and the percent complete, the Company recognizes revenues based on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost for each contract. That method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term. |
|
For contracts in which the Company can't reasonably estimate the costs and the percent complete, the Company recognizes revenues using the completed contract method. Typically, these contracts are isolated to international contracts whereby the Company is providing equipment and limited installation. Under the completed contract basis, contract costs are recorded to a deferred asset account and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account during the periods of construction. All revenues, costs, and profits are recognized in operations upon completion of the contract. A contract is considered completed when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and the equipment is delivered to the end user. |
|
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements, are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. No profit is recognized on change orders until they have been approved by the customer. |
|
The asset, "Costs in excess of billings on uncompleted projects", represents costs incurred on current projects in which have not been allocated to the particular project or the contract has not been completed and typically relate to deposit paid or incurred to third party vendors in which the services and or equipment has not been provided. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. Contract retentions are included in accounts receivable. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values over the requisite vesting period. |
|
The Company follows ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. |
|
Derivative Financial Instruments |
|
We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of our financial instruments. However, under the provisions ASC 815 - “Derivatives and Hedging” certain financial instruments that have characteristics of a derivative, as defined by ASC 815, such as embedded conversion features on our convertible notes, that are potentially settled in the Company’s own common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net-share settlement is not within our control. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting purposes, even when the terms of the underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded, and continuously carried, at fair value each reporting period. |
|
The value of the embedded conversion feature was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. All changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion feature were recognized currently in earnings until the note was extinguished. Determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments involved judgment and the use of certain relevant assumptions including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, volatility and other factors. The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. |
|
Product Warranty Costs |
|
The Company provides warranties for certain products and maintains warranty reserves for estimated product warranty costs based upon the percent complete of the project. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company's stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty. During the year ended April 30, 2014, the Company recorded an initial warranty reserve of $24,000, in which there have been no offsets. Previously, a warranty reserve had not been required and thus not provided. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward. |
|
The Company’s income tax returns are based on calculations and assumptions that are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. While the Company believes it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of examinations by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, income taxes payable and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. To date no such provisions have been recorded. |
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|
The Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying amount of property and equipment may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that these long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company assesses the potential impairment by determining whether the carrying value of such long-lived assets will be recovered through the future undiscounted cash flows expected from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows, or external appraisals, as applicable. The Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the useful lives of property and equipment may warrant revision. In our opinion, the carrying values of our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, were not impaired at April 30, 2014 and 2013. |
|
New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
The FASB issues Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) to amend the authoritative literature in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. The Company believes those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company. |
