Note 1:  Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization – Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Pacific Ventures”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 3, 1986, under the name AOA Corporation.  On November 12, 1991, the Company changed its name to American Eagle Group, Inc.  On October 22, 2012, the Company changed its name to Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.

 

Reorganization, Development Stage Company – The Company is in the development stage since it is not currently conducting any business, nor has it conducted any business since its reactivation on September 19, 2005.  Since that time, the Company has been investigating potential business ventures which, in the opinion of management, will provide a source of eventual profit.  Such involvement may take many forms, including the acquisition of an existing business or the acquisition of assets to establish subsidiary businesses.

 

Going Concern – The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has not generated any revenue for several years and the sole officer and director of the Company has provided capital to pay prior and current obligations.  The Company requires additional capital to continue its limited operations.  Furthermore, the Company’s officer and director serves without compensation.  The Company assumes that these arrangements and the availability of future capital sources will continue into the future, but no assurance thereof can be given.  A change in these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740-20, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company plans to recognize revenue when the following four conditions are present: (1) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) delivery has occurred or services are rendered, and (4) collection is reasonably assured.

 

 

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Income (Loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.  The Company has no potentially dilutive securities.  Accordingly, basic and dilutive loss per common share are the same.

 

Fair Value

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.  Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.
