Basis of Consolidation. |
The financial statements include the accounts and activity of AF Ocean Investment Management Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, AF Ocean Investment Management (Shanghai), Co. Ltd. as of July 6, 2012, the date of acquisition. All intercompany balances and activity have been eliminated. |

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates. |
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013; (b) the financial position at March 31, 2014; and (c) cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, have been made. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates |
|
Our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Due to our election not to opt out of the extended transition period that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents. |
Cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash for the Company's wholly foreign owned entity, AF Ocean Investment Management (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("AF Ocean (Shanghai)"), is maintained with a state owned financial institution in Shanghai, China. |
Accounts receivable | ' |
Accounts receivable |
Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers accounts more than 90 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company considers all accounts receivable to be collectable and consequently has provided no allowance for doubtful accounts. |
Property and Equipment | ' |
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at March 31, 2014. |
Foreign Currency Translation | ' |
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company addressed the effect of the exchange rate differences resulting from the translation of the financial statements of its wholly foreign owned entity ("WFOE"), AF Ocean (Shanghai), into the consolidated corporate statements on the Balance Sheet with an accumulated exchange rate adjustment of ($1,322). The effect of the foreign currency translation is recorded in other comprehensive income. |
Intangible Assets | ' |
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of business licenses in the Peoples' Republic of China and goodwill acquired in an acquisition during 2012. Management believes that these assets have unlimited lives and will not be amortized. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | ' |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented. |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition. Revenue from consulting services is recognized according to the terms of the consulting agreement. Generally, consulting revenue will be recognized over the term of the agreement. At times deposits or prepayments may result in deferred revenue which will be recognized into income as the services are performed. |
Share-based Compensation | ' |
Share-based Compensation. The Company may issue stock options whereby all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented. |
|
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions ASC Topic 505-50. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. |
|
The Company may issue restricted stock for various business and administrative services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. There was no share-based compensation paid in the three months ended March 31, 2014 or in the year ended December 31, 2013. |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized. |
Earnings per Share | ' |
Earnings per Share. In accordance with ASC 260-10, "Earnings Per Share", basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2014 dilutive earnings per share were anti-dilutive compared to March 31, 2013, there were no anti-dilutive shares. |
Segment Information | ' |
Segment Information. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments which meet the quantitative thresholds delineated. The Company has one reporting segment that does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds to require separate reporting. However, see Note 8 for limited disclosure. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to March 31, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued. |
