NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Accounting Basis |
|
The statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America consistently applied. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. |
|
Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration Costs |
|
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized in accordance with ASC 805-20-55-37, previously referenced as the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-2. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 930 at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. The Company has determined that all property payments are impaired and written off the acquisition costs to project expenses. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. |
|
To date, mineral property exploration costs have been expensed as incurred. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties. |
|
Depreciation, Amortization and Capitalization |
|
The Company records depreciation and amortization, when appropriate, using both straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful life of the assets (five to seven years). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property’s useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriate accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.740, "Income Taxes". Under this 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 balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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 rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. |
|
Financial Instruments |
|
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels: |
|
· | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available. |
· | Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
· | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method. |
|
The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents accounts payable and accrued expenses, loan from officer and note payable approximate their market values as of January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013. |
|
Net Loss Per Share |
|
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share. |
|
Share Based Expenses |
|
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. |
|
Foreign Currency |
|
The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (USD) and its reporting currency is also the USD. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in the British Pound (GBP). |
|
The financial statements of the Company are translated to USD in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical amounts. Revenues and expenses are translated using average rates during the year. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in Stockholders’ Equity. |
|
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
|
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income (loss), including foreign currency translation adjustments, gains and losses related to certain derivative contracts, and gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations associated with pension or other postretirement benefits that have not been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost. |
