SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Feb. 28, 2015 |
Notes to Financial Statements | |
Note 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | The significant accounting policies followed are: |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, International Machine and Welding. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
For the purpose of the financial statements cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $44,697 and $7,731 at February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
|
Concentration of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, notes receivable, and related party notes. |
|
Customer Concentration |
|
The Company generates a significant amount of revenues from sales and services provided to three different industries. The construction industry accounted for approximately 22% of revenues in fiscal 2015 compared to 21% in fiscal 2014 while the industrial and mining industries accounted for approximately 26% and 51% in fiscal 2015 compared to 24% and 54% in fiscal 2014, respectively, of the total revenues. Although the Company does not rely on a single customer, during the year ended February 28, 2015, one of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 48% of total revenues. This customer was Mosaic Company. |
|
Accounts Receivable |
|
Trade. Accounts receivable consist of billed and uncollected services or products. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary at February 28, 2015. A $481 allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary at February 28, 2014. Receivables are determined to be past due based on payment terms of original invoices. The Company does not charge significant amounts of interest on past due receivables. |
|
Factored. The Company accounts for its factoring of accounts receivable by selling and assigning all rights, title, and interest to certain of the Company’s accounts receivable. The Company receives 80% of all approved invoices sold to the Factoring Company, who assumes the credit risk. Based on the Factoring Company’s collections of these invoices the Company may receive additional consideration of up to 18%. The Company records the 80% as payment against the invoices sold and records 20% as an amount due from Factoring Company. Once the invoice exceeds 120 days outstanding, the remaining 20% of the receivable is recorded as expense. |
|
Inventory |
|
The Company follows FASB ASC 330, “Inventory”.Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of conversion of inventories include raw materials and direct labor and fixed and variable production overheads, taking into account the stage of completion and the normal capacity of production facilities. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand. |
|
Property and Equipment |
|
The Company follows ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, for its fixed assets. Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company capitalizes all purchases with costs in excess of $500 and a useful life in excess of one year. Depreciation and amortization expense are calculated using the straight-line method of accounting over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: |
|
Building and improvements | 15 - 39 years | |
Machine and equipment | 5 -30 years | |
Office furniture and equipment | 5 - 10 years | |
Trucks and vehicles | 5 - 7 years | |
|
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations. |
|
Notes Payable |
|
Direct costs incurred with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and amortized over the life of the guaranty. For the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred amortization expense of $3,082 and $53,898, respectively. |
|
Shipping and Handling |
|
The Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs as sales revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handlings are included in cost of sales. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
In accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is generated when products, repairs or parts are delivered to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns, allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. |
|
Amounts collected on behalf of governmental authorities for sales taxes and other similar taxes are reported on a net basis. |
|
Revenue derived from the sale of products not yet completed and delivered is deferred and recognized as revenue once the product has been delivered to the customer. |
|
Long-lived Assets |
|
Long-lived assets (which excludes goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets) are assessed for impairment IAW ASC 360, Property and equipment when an indicator of impairment exists. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not the asset values are recoverable. There have been no significant impairments of long-lived assets during the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014. |
|
Financial Instruments |
|
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. |
|
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures 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 most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: |
|
| · | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| | |
| · | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| | |
| · | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
|
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of February 28, 2015. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value. |
|
Commitments and Contingencies |
|
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of February 28, 2015 and 2014. |
|
Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date. Due to the Company’s continued losses, the Company has placed a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. |
|
No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of February 28, 2015 and 2014. |
|
Share-based Expense |
|
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. 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 accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date. |
|
Share-based expense for each of the years ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 was $0. |
|
Earnings (Loss) per Share |
|
The Company records stock as issued at the time consideration is received or the obligation is incurred. |
|
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. |
|
The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments as of February 28, 2015 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable. |
|
Related Parties |
|
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. |
