Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Maiden Lane Jewelry, Ltd., formerly Romantique Ltd., (“the Company”) was incorporated on September 6, 2012 under the laws of the State of New York. The Company is a wholesaler and manufacturer of jewelry including pendants, bracelets and earrings. The Company began operations on October 1, 2012 by selling fashion rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets to independent retailers. In December 2012, the Company commenced a line of bridal (engagement) rings, featuring both settings and diamonds. In February 2014 the Company began the sale of bridal engagement rings featuring uniquely cut diamonds which in May 2014 was branded as an Aspiri TM The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by specific identification for unique items (such as diamond stones, each with a particular carat weight, color, clarity and cut) and using the first-in, first-out method for generic items or styles (certain semi-mounts and fashion jewelry). Finished goods the Company fabricates are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by specific identification for each component making up the item plus direct labor and other fees (primarily diamond certification). Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is five years. For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB No. 101).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) collectability 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 collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowance, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Provision for sales returns and allowances that were netted against sales amounted to $ 84,000 201,000 The Company primarily sells its products to retail jewelers focused on mid-to-high end consumers. Customers typically receive payment terms of ratable monthly payments over 90 to 120 days with exceptions based on credit quality or other terms and conditions. As a result, the Company is exposed to credit risk on its accounts receivable. The Company generally seeks to mitigate such risk by performing credit checks through jeweler trade associations it is a member of, by attending trade shows which selectively invite retailer attendees based on their credit worthiness and by checking references with other jewelers in the industry. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company may maintain cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $ 250,000 The Company’s sales are comprised of primarily three major products: Aspiri Cut Rings, Complete Rings and Fashion Jewelry. The Company may also on occasion sell loose stone inventory. Year Ended May 31, 2015 2014 Aspiri TM 47 % 14 % Complete Rings (not Aspiri) 32 60 Fashion Jewelry & Other 21 26 In February 2014 the Company began the sale of Aspiri bridal engagement rings. The first full quarter of Aspiri sales occurred during the three months ended May 31, 2104; at this initial roll-out of the Aspiri product line, there was less of a focus on the sales of non-Aspiri products. At the end of February 2015, the Company decided to phase out our line of fashion jewelry in order to focus on its Aspiri cut diamond engagement rings, pendants and jewelry. The Company expanded its Aspiri cut diamond line in November 2014 to include pendants and earrings. Year Ended May 31, 2015 2014 Aspiri Engagement Rings 43 % 14 % Aspiri Engagement Pendants 2 0 Aspiri Engagement Earrings 1 0 Advertising and show costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs during the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 was $ 308,000 109,000 The Company accounts for deferred 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. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of dilutive common share equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversion of debentures. Potentially dilutive securities as of May 31, 2015 consisted of 37,000 122,550 430,000 3.50 37,000 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. Management uses its best judgment in valuing these estimates, and may, as warranted, solicit external professional advice and other assumptions believed to be reasonable. 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 cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans and notes payable. These items are determined to be a Level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded value of long-term debt approximates its fair value as the terms and rates approximate market rates. Management does not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying financial statements had any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period. |
