(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
RFI Technologies, Inc. (“RFI” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation in the development stage. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 11, 2008. The business plan of RFI is to design and sell passive radio frequency identification (“RFID”) products. RFID products enable greater effectiveness and security in supply chain and asset tracking operations. Recent developments in technology, industry standards and manufacturing processes allow these RFID systems to deliver long read ranges of up to 10 meters and read speeds of over 500 tags per second, at low cost with UHF tags currently selling for prices below $0.10. The accompanying financial statements of RFI were prepared from the accounts of the Company under the accrual basis of accounting.
On August 12, 2008, the Company issued 18,750,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.01 per share for subscriptions receivable of $18,750 to three of the founders of the Company. Proceeds of $18,750 from the issuance of the common stock were received on September 11, 2008.
In addition, in 2008, RFI commenced a capital formation activity through a Private Placement Offering (“PPO”), exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, to raise up to $17,000 through the issuance 11,447,841 shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an offering price of $0.001485 per share. As of August 30, 2008, RFI had closed the PPO and proceeds from the PPO of $17,000 were received on September 9, 2008.
The Company also commenced an activity to submit a registration statement on Form S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 18,947,841 of its outstanding shares of common stock on behalf of selling stockholders (see Note 7). As of September 11, 2008, RFI was in the process of preparing the registration statement on Form S-1, and had not yet filed it with the SEC.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
RFI is in the development stage and has yet to realize revenues from planned operations. It plans to realize revenues from the sale of its RFID products. Revenues will be recognized for financial reporting purposes when the products are delivered to customers, and collection is reasonably assured.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
RFI evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives at each balance sheet date. RFI records an impairment or change in useful life whenever events or changes in

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. For the period ended August 31, 2008, no events or circumstances occurred for which an evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets was required.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the period ended August 31, 2008.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is terminated.
Registration Expenses
The Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
RFI accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. RFI establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
RFI estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of August 31, 2008, the carrying value of financial instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Estimates
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of August 31, 2008, and revenues and expenses for the period ended August 31, 2008, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Fiscal Year End
RFI has adopted a fiscal year end of March 31.
(2) Development Stage Activities and Going Concern
RFI is currently in the development stage, and its business plan is to design and sell passive radio frequency identification (“RFID”) products. RFID products enable greater effectiveness and security in supply chain and asset tracking operations. Recent developments in technology, industry standards and manufacturing processes allow these RFID systems to deliver long read ranges of up to 10 meters and read speeds of over 500 tags per second, at low cost with UHF tags currently selling for prices below $0.10.
The initial activities of RFI through August 31, 2008, include organization and incorporation, the issuance of 102,000,000 shares of common stock to an officer of the Company for services rendered, the issuance of 18,750,000 shares of common stock to three of the founders of the Company to raise $18,750, a capital formation activity to raise up to $17,000 from the sale of common stock to various stockholders, target market identification, marketing plans, and other capital formation activities. RFI is currently in the process of submitting a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to the SEC to register 18,947,841 shares of common stock on behalf of selling stockholders. As of September 11, 2008, RFI was in the process of preparing the Registration Statement on Form S-1, and had not yet filed it with the SEC.
While the management of RFI believes that the Company will be successful in its capital formation and operating activities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to raise additional equity capital, or be able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations. RFI also intends to conduct additional capital formation activities through the issuance of its common stock to establish sufficient working capital and to commence operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2008
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of RFI as a going concern. RFI has incurred an operating loss since inception and the cash resources of the Company are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about RFI’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
(3) Common Stock
On August 12, 2008, the Company issued to its Director and Chief Executive Officer 102,000,000 shares of common stock valued at par value for services rendered. This transaction was valued at $10,200.
On August 12, 2008, the Company issued 18,750,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.01 per share for subscriptions receivable of $18,750 to three of the founders of the Company. On September 11, 2008, the Company received $18,750 in satisfaction of the subscriptions receivable.
In August 2008, RFI commenced a capital formation activity through a PPO, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, to raise up to $17,000 through the issuance 11,447,841 shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an offering price of $0.001485 per share. As of August 30, 2008, RFI had subscription agreements for 11,447,841 shares of common stock, and had closed the PPO. Proceeds from the PPO of $17,000 were received on September 9, 2008. The company issued the 11,447,841 shares of common stock on September 9, 2008, in connection to the PPO.
The Company also commenced an activity to submit a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to the SEC to register 18,947,841 of its outstanding shares of common stock on behalf of selling stockholders. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds of this registration activity once the shares of common stock are sold. As of September 11, 2008, the Company continued with the preparation of its Registration Statement on Form S-1, and had not yet filed it with the SEC.
(4) Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the period ended August 31, 2008, was as follows (using a 15 percent effective Federal income tax rate):

As of August 31, 2008, RFI had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $28,354 that may be offset against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in the year 2028. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs or a change in the nature of the business. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements for the realization of loss carryforwards, as the Company believes there is high probability that the carryforwards will not be utilized in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
(5) Related Party Transactions
As described in Note 3, the Company issued 102,000,000 shares of its common stock to its Director and CEO for services rendered at par value. The transaction was valued at $10,200.
(6) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments

and Hedging Activities”; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS No. 161 requires:
| | |
| • | Disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation; |
| | |
| • | Disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format; |
| | |
| • | Disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and |
| | |
| • | Cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed. |
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. The management of the Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On May 9, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities.
Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS”) No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accept Accounting Principles.” SAS No. 69 has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity. SFAS No. 162 addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not the auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.
The sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:
| | |
| a) | FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB. |
| | |
| b) | FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position. |
| | |
| c) | AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics). |

| | |
| d) | Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry. |
SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its authoritative literature. It is only effective for nongovernmental entities; therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS 69 for state and local governmental entities and federal governmental entities.
On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS No. 163”). SFAS No. 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises” (“SFAS No. 60”), applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under SFAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.” That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS No. 5”). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprise’s surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The management of RFI does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
(6) System and Installation Contract
On August 8, 2008, the Company entered into a system and installation contract with Mainrom Invest SRL, a residential community in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The contract states that the Company will install radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for vehicles and biometric access control for pedestrians in order to monitor all traffic into and out of the community. In addition, the system will also monitor traffic within the community. The contract’s value is approximately $69,000.
