NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies |
|
This summary of significant accounting policies of Thermal Tennis Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. |
|
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 and 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. |
|
|
Concentration of Risk |
|
The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with established financial institutions. |
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. The Company reserved $0 as a bad debt reserve for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Pre Codification SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
|
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets; |
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
|
The Company designates cash equivalents (consisting of money market funds) and investments in securities of publicly traded companies as Level 1. The total amount of the Company’s investment classified as Level 3 is de minimis. |
|
The fair value of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, approximated fair value at those times. |
|
Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payables approximated fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 because of the relative short term nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of the Company’s debt approximates carrying value. |
|
|
Shares for Services and Other Assets |
|
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the fair value of all option grants or stock issuances made to employees or directors on or after its implementation date, as well as a portion of the fair value of each option and stock grant made to employees or directors prior to the implementation date that represents the unvested portion of these share-based awards as of such implementation date, to be recognized as an expense, as codified in ASC 718. The Company calculates stock option-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option as of its date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These amounts are expensed over the respective vesting periods of each award using the straight-line attribution method. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest, and as such, amounts have been reduced by estimated forfeitures. |
|
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) number 104, which states that revenues are generally recognized when it is realized and earned. Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue when services are performed and projects are completed and accepted by the customer. Revenues are earned from tennis lessons, sales of ball machines and other related services. |
|
|
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Company’s balance sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company must assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. Changes in the Company’s valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision on the consolidated statements of operations. |
|
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. |

|
Segments |
|
The Company operates in only one business segment, namely the development of tennis management programs, tennis training programs, sales of tennis equipment and general services related to tennis. |
|
|
Earnings Per Share |
|
The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings per common share information. |
|
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. |
|
Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. |
|
For the period ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no dilutive securities that would have had an anti-dilutive effect and all the shares outstanding were included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present financial statements. |
