BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
|
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Innovative Product Opportunities Inc. have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. Therefore, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 of Innovative Product Opportunities Inc. in our Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2013. |
|
The interim financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows of Innovative Product Opportunities Inc. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. |
|
The interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows presented herein have been included in the financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year. |
GOING CONCERN | ' |
GOING CONCERN |
|
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have significant operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit during development stage at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $6,105,533 and $5,928,585, respectively. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of its common stock in order to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this situation. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. The Company is funding its initial operations by way of loans from its Chief Executive Officer. The Company's officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company. |
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS | ' |
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS |
|
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | ' |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
|
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
NET LOSS PER SHARE | ' |
NET LOSS PER SHARE |
|
Basic net income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | ' |
REVENUE RECOGNITION |
|
The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue or customer deposits. The company accrues for sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience. Net sales under certain long-term contracts for product design, which may provide for periodic payments, are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. Estimated cost-at-completion for these contracts are reviewed on a routine periodic basis, and adjustments are made periodically to the estimated cost-at-completion, based on actual costs incurred, progress made, and estimates of the costs required to complete the contractual requirements. When the estimated cost-at-completion exceeds the contract value, the contract is written down to its net realizable value, and the loss resulting from cost overruns is immediately recognized. |
|
To properly match net sales with costs, certain contracts may have revenue recognized in excess of billings (unbilled revenues), and other contracts may have billings in excess of net sales recognized (customer deposits). Under long-term contracts, the prerequisites for billing the customer for periodic payments generally involve the Company's achievement of contractually specific, objective milestones. |
|
Revenue for services contracts will be recognized under a proportional performance model if the following criteria are met (i) the arrangement provides for periodic billings as services are provided (ii) the customer receives value as the services as rendered, not just upon the completion of the services and (iii) the customer need not re-perform services that it has already received if it terminates the service contract early and hires another service provider to complete the service deliverable. If these criteria are not met, the Company will recognize revenue on the service contracts using the completed contract method. |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | ' |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
|
The Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. |
|
The Company also grants awards to non-employees and determines the fair value of such stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is completed. |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | ' |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
