Basis of Presentation

A) Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. It is management's opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

 

Organization

B) Organization

 

B4MC Gold Mines, Inc. (formerly known as Heavenly Hot Dogs, Inc.) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 2, 1987.  In June 2000, the Company changed its domicile from Delaware to Nevada.  The Company attempted to sell franchises for the retail sale of its Chicago style hot dogs. The Company discontinued these operations during 1990 and had been inactive since that time until its acquisition of Trapper’s Pizza, Inc. on July 1, 2002. In March 2003, the Company rescinded the acquisition of Trapper’s Pizza, Inc.  On October 10, 2013, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to B4MC Gold Mines, Inc.

 

Stock Split

C) Stock Split

 

On November 12, 2013, the Company implemented a 3 for 1 forward stock split. Upon effectiveness of the stock split, each shareholder received 3 shares of common stock for every share of common stock owned as of November 2, 2013. All share and per share references have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 3 to 1 forward stock split in the financial statements and in the notes to financial statements for all periods presented, to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented.

 

Use of Estimates

(D) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of interest and services and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

E) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $25,000 and $0, respectively in cash.

 

Revenue Recognition

F) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 605, Revenue Recognition. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Loss Per Share

(G) Loss Per Share

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share – The basic computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, "Earnings Per Share." (See Note 5)

 

Dividends

(H) Dividends

 

The Company has, at the present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other relevant factors.

Income Taxes

(I) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

(J) Stock-Based Compensation

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.

 

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

Business Segments

K) Business Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

L) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances payable and notes payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. There are no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

(M) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. This stipulates that (1) it will include the amount the entity agreed to pay for the arrangement between them and the other entities that are also obligated to the liability and (2) any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of the other entities. The objective of this update is to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal periods (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

 

In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting standards update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires an entity to provide information about the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The entity is also required to disclose significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting periods. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other discourses required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The objective in this Update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

 

On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915). Amongst other things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however entities are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for which the financial statements have yet to be issued. The Company has elected to early adopt these amendments and accordingly have not labeled the financial statements as those of a development stage entity and have not presented inception-to-date information on the respective financial statements.
