NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ' |
Organization |
|
Darkstar Ventures, Inc. (“the Company” or “we”) was incorporated on May 8, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. |
|
The Company has not generated revenues from planned principal operations and is considered a development stage company. The Company originally intended to market and sell eco-friendly health and wellness products to the general public via the internet. The Company was dormant from its inception to May 1, 2011. The Company has since abandoned its business plan and is now seeking an operating company with which to merge or to acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify a company and successfully effect such a business combination or merger. |
|
On November 20, 2012, we entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Real Aesthetic, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Real Aesthetic”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for common stock of the Company. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the LOI was subject to the completion of the due diligence investigation of both parties, execution and delivery of documentation for the transaction, consents from the respective boards of directors of both companies and any third parties and the delivery of audited financial statements by Real Aesthetic. Subsequently, we decided not to pursue the contemplated transaction with Real Aesthetic. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
For revenue from product sales, the Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. |
|
Advertising Costs |
|
Advertising costs will be charged to operations when incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising costs during the year ended July 31, 2014 and for the period May 8, 2007 (inception) to July 31, 2014. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. |
|
Website Development Costs |
|
The Company accounts for website development costs pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 350-50-25, Website Development Costs, which specifies the appropriate accounting for costs incurred in connection with the development and maintenance of websites. Under 350-50-25, costs related to certain website development activities are expensed as incurred (such as planning and operating stage activities). Costs relating to certain website application and infrastructure developments are generally capitalized, and are amortized over its estimated useful life of two (2) years. Website development costs totaling $5,000 were charged to expense during the year ended July 31, 2011. |
|
Loss Per Share |
|
The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share as there are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding (options and warrants). |
|
Research and Development |
|
Research and development costs will be charged to expense in the period incurred. The Company did not incur any research and development costs during the year ended July 31, 2014 and the period May 8, 2007 (inception) to July 31, 2014. |
|
Accounting Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Fair Value Measurements |
|
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, or which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: |
|
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities. |
|
The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts payable and notes payable. These items are determined to be a Level 1 fair value measurement. |
|
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that reduces some of the disclosure and reporting requirements for development stage entities. The change will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. As of such date, among other things, development stage entities will no longer be required to report inception-to date information. |
