−Removed: of our financial statements:
−Removed: preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
−Removed: management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
−Removed: assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and
−Removed: Hedging Activities.
−Removed: GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative
−Removed: financial instruments according to certain criteria.
−Removed: The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and
−Removed: risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host
−Removed: contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at
−Removed: fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same
−Removed: terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
−Removed: Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated
−Removed: from their host instruments) as follows:
−Removed: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value
−Removed: of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at
−Removed: the commitment date of this note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in this note.
−Removed: Debt discounts under these arrangements
−Removed: are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
−Removed: Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment
−Removed: The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current
−Removed: fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.
−Removed: BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
−Removed: have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support
−Removed: and credit risk support or other benefits.
−Removed: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
−Removed: required for smaller reporting companies.

+Added: The SEC requested
+Added: that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis.

+Added: that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition
+Added: and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates
+Added: about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
