Note 3a - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
Cash |
|
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of the 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist mainly of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable consist of receivables from revenue earned for entering into license agreements and prototype evaluation agreements with potential licensees. |
|
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts is not considered necessary at July 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company determines receivables to be past due based on the payment terms of original invoices. Interest is not typically charged on past due receivables. |
|
Loan Receivable |
|
Loan receivable is stated at the unpaid principal balance, less an allowance for loan losses. Interest income generally is not recognized on impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. The Company records an allowance for loan losses to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on the Company’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan including current economic conditions and adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. An allowance for uncollectible interest is established by a charge to interest income. Based on management’s review of loan and interest receivable, an allowance for loan and interest losses was considered necessary at July 31, 2010 for $809,245. The carrying balance of the loan receivable net of allowance was zero at July 31, 2014 and 2013. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The fair value of financial instruments classified as current liabilities, including accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate carrying value, principally because of the short maturity of those items. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows: |
|
Level I—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
Level II—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and |
|
Level III—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the related assets or liabilities. |
|
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
|
The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of warrants, which are recorded in the accompanying balance sheets at fair value. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation technique, utilizing Level II inputs. The observable inputs include the exercise price of the warrants, the treasury yield curve, the Company’s common stock price and the expected volatility, which is based on the average volatilities of five similar public entities. Option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the Company’s trading market price and the trading market price of various peer companies, which historically have high volatility. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are included in derivative income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws and rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date. |
|
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740-10”). The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC Topic 740-10. |
|
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits at July 31, 2014 and 2013 and since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC Topic 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to the unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for all tax years since Inception. |
|
The Company has not filed any U.S. or Canadian income or other tax returns. Had the returns been filed there would be taxable losses and tax losses available to offset future taxable income. The Company has not determined the amount of the potential benefits for these tax losses, because at this time it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. See further comments in Note 10. |
|
Equipment |
|
Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging generally from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation expense for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $1,700 and $4,600, respectively. |
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
|
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets or asset groups whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related assets may be less than previously anticipated. If the net book value of the related assets were to exceed the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets, the carrying amount would be reduced to the present value of their expected future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized. There have been no impairment losses in any of the periods presented. |
|
Advertising and Marketing |
|
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $84,900 and $202,000, respectively. |
|
Foreign Currencies |
|
The Company determined that its functional currency is the United States dollar since the U.S. dollar is the currency of the environment in which the Company primarily generates and expends cash. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses represent gains and losses resulting from transactions entered into in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. These transaction gains and losses are included in results of operations and total losses of approximately $5,200 and $4,800 for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, there is a fixed or determinable sales price, and collectability is reasonably assured. Deferred revenue arises from amounts received from potential and actual licensees prior to services being provided and is being amortized to income as it is earned. Certain of these revenues are categorized as noncurrent due to the length of the contract. |
|
Loss Per Share |
|
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents. The effects of potential common stock equivalents are not included in computations when their effect is anti-dilutive. |
|
Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share calculations. Common stock warrants to purchase 15,907,500 and 14,440,500 shares of common stock for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. |
|
Stock |
|
The Company issues shares of its common stock in tranches once the Board of Directors accepts the tranche of stock subscribers. During the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, 652,000 and 3,218,500 shares, respectively, were issued for cash or services received. There was no common stock payable as of July 31, 2014 and 2013. |
