Management's Estimates and Assumptions | ' |
Management’s Estimates and Assumptions |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and notes. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to accrued liabilities, asset retirement obligation, and the impairment of long-lived assets. Management believes the estimates utilized in preparing these financial statements are reasonable and prudent and are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents Policy | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. |
Reclassification | ' |
Reclassification |
|
A reclassification has been made to prior year comparative consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification had no material effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position. The Company reclassified the amount of other comprehensive income from comprehensive loss in the balance sheet, statement of stockholders’ equity and on the face of the profit and loss statement. |
Foreign Currency | ' |
Foreign Currency |
|
The functional currency of the Company at May 31, 2014 is the Canadian dollar. Transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency are re-measured into the functional currency at the current exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Any foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are subsequently re-measured at current exchange rates, with gains or losses recognized as foreign exchange losses or gains in the statement of operations. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Exchange gains and losses are included in statement of operations for the period. |
|
Adjustments arising from the translation of the Company’s financial statements to United States dollars for presentation purposes due to differences between average rates and balance sheet rates are recorded in other comprehensive income. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' |
Concentration of Credit Risk |
|
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains all of its cash balances with two financial institutions in the form of demand deposits. |
Loss per Share | ' |
Loss per Share |
|
Income or loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share does not differ from basic loss per share since the effect of the Company’s warrants are anti-dilutive. Diluted income per share is calculated using the treasury stock method which uses the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and also includes the dilutive effect of potentially issuable common shares from outstanding and warrants. At May 31, 2014, potential common shares of 3,000,000 (2013 - nil) related to outstanding warrants were excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. |
Comprehensive Income, Policy | ' |
Comprehensive Income |
|
In accordance with ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220”) all components of comprehensive income, including net loss, are reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net loss and other comprehensive (income) loss, including foreign currency translation adjustments, are reported, net of any related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income. No taxes were recorded on items of other comprehensive income. |
Income Taxes Policy | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
Deferred taxes are provided on a 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. |
Uncertain Tax Positions | ' |
Uncertain Tax Positions |
|
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the year ended May 31, 2014 or for the year ended May 31, 2013. The Company’s policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the year ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no income tax, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liability on the balance sheet. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida State. Tax years 2011 to present remain open to income tax examination. The Company is not currently involved in any income tax examinations. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The book values of cash, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels: |
|
| • | Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| | |
| • | Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
| | |
| • | Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. |
|
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter. |
Oil And Gas Property Payments And Exploration Costs | ' |
Oil and Gas Property Payments and Exploration Costs |
|
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil operations. Under the full cost method all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil reserves are initially capitalized into cost centers on a country-by-country basis. The Company’s current cost center is located in Canada. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities. |
|
Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated net proved reserves, as determined by independent petroleum engineers. The Company has adopted revised oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements. The primary impact of the new disclosures is to conform the definition of proved reserves with the SEC Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting rules, which were issued by the SEC at the end of 2008. The accounting standards update revised the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to require that the average, first-day-of-the-month price during the 12-month period before the end of the year rather than the year-end price, must be used when estimating whether reserve quantities are economical to produce. This same 12-month average price is also used in calculating the aggregate amount of (and changes in) future cash inflows related to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. The percentage of total reserve volumes produced during the year is multiplied by the net capitalized investment plus future estimated development costs in those reserves. Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations. |
|
Under full cost accounting rules, capitalized costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, shall not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (i) the after tax present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on currents costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized. If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the ceiling, the excess shall be charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs. Amounts thus required to be written off shall not be reinstated for any subsequent increase in the cost center ceiling. As of May 31, 2014, the Company discontinued its operations in the oil and gas industry. |
Goodwill Policy | ' |
Goodwill |
|
Pursuant to its agreement with Scenario A, the Company has acquired all rights to Broken 7, a craft beer brewed in Quebec, Canada. The assets acquired consist of goodwill only as no inventory or other assets were acquired. The Company accounts for this assets under ASC No. 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other which states that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. The Company tests for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. If impairment exists, a write-down to fair value (measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | ' |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets |
|
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long lived assets such as equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. |
|
In accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other the Company performs a qualitative assessment at the end of each reporting period to determine if any events or circumstances exist, such as an adverse change in business climate or a decline in the overall industry that would indicate that it would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | ' |
Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
In accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability, should be recorded as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company provides for future asset retirement obligations on its oil and natural gas properties based on estimates established by current legislation. The asset retirement obligation is initially measured at fair value and capitalized to capital assets as an asset retirement cost. The asset retirement obligation accretes until the time the asset retirement obligation is expected to settle while the asset retirement cost is amortized over the useful life of the underlying capital assets. The amortization of the asset retirement cost and the accretion of the asset retirement obligation are included in depletion and accretion expense. Actual asset retirement costs are recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred is recorded as a gain or loss in the period of settlement. As of May 31, 2014, the Company discontinued its operations in the oil and gas industry. |
Revenue recognition | ' |
Revenue recognition |
|
Revenue from the production of crude oil and natural gas is recognized when title passes to the customer and when collection of the revenue is reasonably assured. The Company does not operate its wells and is reliant on the wells’ operator to market and sell its proportion of oil and gas produced from its wells. The customers take title when the crude oil is transferred to their pipeline or collection facility. |
|
The Company began earning revenue from its 28% working interest it has in its Valhalla Property commencing in October, 2011 and its 28% working interest in its Spirit Rycroft Property in March 2012. Currently, neither property is in production. Both properties are located in Alberta, Canada. |
|
As of May 31, 2014, the Company discontinued its operations in the oil and gas industry. |
|
Revenue from the Company’s craft beer business is expected to be received in the form of commissions. The Company intends to contract out services to a single supplier for brewing, labeling and distribution. The Company does not yet have a contract in place for such services but once in place it is expected that the supplier will deliver beer to vendors on behalf of the Company, collect the proceeds from sale, and then pay the Company the respective commission. Revenue will be recorded at the time of delivery to the customer. The method of calculating, and the amount, of the commission payable to the Company is still to be negotiated. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. |

ASU 2014-10 Topic 915 Development Stage Entities |
|
The objective of the guidance is to reduce cost and complexity in the financial reporting system by eliminating inception-to-date information from the financial statements of development stage entities. The new standard eliminates the concept of a development stage entity (“DSE”) from U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the current incremental reporting requirements for a DSE, including inception-to-date information, will no longer apply. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance effective with its May 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements. |
|
ASU 3013-05 Topic 830 Accounting for cumulative translation adjustments |
|
The standards amends cumulative translation adjustment derecognition guidance in particular when (i) an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity, or (ii) there is a loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or a step acquisition involving an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. This is effective for public entities for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. |
|
ASU 2013-11 Topic 740 Accounting for cumulative translation adjustments |
|
The standard amends guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This is effective for public entities for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. |
