NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2013. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 16, 2012.
Basis of presentation:
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which 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 judgments 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 allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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 purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company applies Statement of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Per share data:
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss, by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio in the Share Exchange in May 2011 (see Note 1), which was accounted for as recapitalization of the Company.
Functional currency
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars ("USD"). The Company's functional currency is British pounds ("GBP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are translated into USD in accordance with Codification ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. All assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, at respective balance sheet dates, shareholders' equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting periods. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income in the shareholders' equity in accordance with Codification ASC 220, Comprehensive Income.
Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated into GBP at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred. There were no material transaction gains or losses in the periods presented.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in GBP into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
Income taxes
Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company's historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 related to losses incurred during such periods.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and warrants using the fair value method promulgated by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480-10”) which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Therefore, results include non-cash compensation expense as a result of the issuance of stock, stock options and warrants and we expect to record additional non-cash compensation expense in the future.
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and non employees be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
