Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Until 2007, Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. (the Company) was a developer, licensor and marketer of next generation technologies for the consumer electronics, personal computing, entertainment and cellular telephone markets. The principal business of the Company was closed down in 2007, and the Company has no further operating activities and is now a shell company.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no operating activities and is now a shell company. The Company has concluded that it should look for acquisitions or identify a merger partner. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in completing such a transaction or be able to maintain sufficient liquidity over a period of time that will allow it to carry out these actions, in which case the Company might be forced to liquidate or seek protection under the Federal bankruptcy statutes, or both.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

  

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid cash investments that mature in three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

STOCK OPTIONS

 

Compensation cost relating to stock-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, is recognized in financial statements based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the grant date. The Company recognized the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as compensation expense in its statement of operations on a straight line basis, over the vesting period.

  

INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes are provided under the asset and liability method and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The Company establishes valuation allowances when the realization of specific deferred tax assets is subject to uncertainty. The Company records no tax benefits on its operating losses, as the losses will have to be carried forward and realization of any benefit is uncertain.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Since the Company generated net losses in 2013 and 2012, outstanding stock options would have been anti-dilutive and were not considered in these calculations.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans and advances from officers at December 31, 2013 and 2012 approximated fair value due to their short maturity or nature.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
