Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

There are several accounting policies that the Company believes are significant to the presentation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies require management to make complex or subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Note 3 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 presents a summary of significant accounting policies as included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

 

Reclassifications - The Company reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of notes payable and convertible notes payable approximates the fair value based on rates currently available from financial institutions and various lenders. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Presentation of Comprehensive Income - In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This ASU requires all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. However, ASU 2011-12 has deferred the specific requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income separately with their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. Entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. The Company has adopted the presentation of a single continuous statement of comprehensive income. There were no adjustments to other comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
