SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (POLICiES):

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 9311-2571 Québec Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Warrants

Warrants

We account for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (ASC Topic 815), as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. We classify derivative warrant liabilities on the balance sheet as a liability, which is revalued at each balance sheet date, subsequent to the initial issuance. We use the Monte Carlo Options Lattice model, depending on the applicable terms of the warrant agreement, to value the derivative warrant liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are reflected in the statement of operations as “Change in the fair value of warrant liability.” See, Note 6 – financial agreement – (3) Securities Purchase Agreement, for a detailed description of our accounting for derivative warrant liabilities.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20, “Income Tax – Intra-period Tax Allocation,” clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets.

Net Loss per Share

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at December 31, 2015:

Warrants

4,012,500

Since the Company reflected a net loss in in three and six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if outstanding, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.

Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

As set forth in ASC 820 Fair Value in Financial Instruments to increase consistency, a fair value hierarchy was developed to rank the reliability of inputs that reflect assumptions, used as a basis for determining fair value. ASC 820 emphasizes that valuation techniques (income, market, and cost) used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability should maximize the use of observable inputs, that is, inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. The ASC 820 accounting standard requires companies use actual market data, when available or models, when unavailable. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available, except when it might not represent fair value at the measurement date. When using models, ASC 820 provides guidance on appropriate valuation techniques and addresses the inherent valuation issue of risk. A fair value measurement should include an adjustment for risk if market participants would include one in pricing the related asset or liability, even if the adjustment is difficult to determine.

We analyzed the derivative financial instruments, in accordance with EITF 07-05 and FAS 133. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. It should be applied to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is adopted. Any adjustment would be recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings. The objective of EITF 07-5 is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception under Paragraph 11(a) of FAS 133 which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. The EITF reached a consensus that would establish a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument's settlement provisions.

Derivative financial instruments should be recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value. For purposes of this engagement and report, we utilized fair value as the basis for formulating our opinion which has been defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as “the amount for which an asset (or liability) could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated willing parties when neither party is acting under compulsion”. The FASB has provided guidance that its definition of fair value is consistent with the definition of fair market value in IRS Rev. Rule 59-60. In determining the fair value of the derivatives we assumed that the Company’s business would be conducted as a going concern. These derivative liabilities will need to be marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the income statement. The FASB and IRS have provided guidance that its definition of fair value is consistent with the definition of fair market value in IRS Rev. Rule 59-60. Our opinion of Fair Value relied on a “value in use” or “going concern” premise. To properly apply this fair value standard, we gave consideration to the Holder’s intentions regarding whether or not the Securities purchased were to be held, sold, or abandoned. Our analysis also reflects assumptions that would be made by market participants if these market participants were to buy or sell each identified asset on an individual basis.

The Warrants issued with debt contain derivatives and require accounting under ASC 815 until exercised or expired. The derivative liability is marked to market each subsequent reporting period.

The following table summarizes the components of the derivate liabilities:

*On March 14, 2014, the 3 subscribers, who were subscribers in an offering undertaken by the Company on September 9, 2013, along with 2 subscribers that did not elect to participate in this offering, executed a waiver and consent in regard to their rights under the September 9, 2013 offering (the “Original SPA”), whereby they waived the rights to receive any additional shares of common stock under the Original SPA agreements and the Company and the 5 investors agreed to a re-pricing of the warrants issued under the Original SPA from an exercise price of $0.30 per share to $0.0724 per share and that such reduction of the Exercise Price was deemed a reduction in connection with a Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Warrants) and the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants increased. On March 14, 2014 through March 21, 2014, the Company received notices and executed cashless exercise from the subscribers under the Original SPA.

Related Parties

Related Parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for using the Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees Topic of the FASB ASC, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company determines the value of stock issued at the date of grant. It also determines at the date of grant, the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On June 10, 2014, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, consolidation, which removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, the presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for the public business entities. The revised consolidation standards are effective one year later, in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the amendment.

On September 25, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this Update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. This amendment will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." Under this guidance, deferred tax liabilities and assets are required to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Prior to this guidance, the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction (or tax-paying component of a jurisdiction) would be presented as a net current asset or liability and net non-current asset or liability. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with earlier application permitted. This amendment will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of December 31, 2015, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
