NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Body and Brain Center, LLC (the "Company") is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representations of the Company's management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Nature of Operation
Body and Brain Center, LLC is an Arizona limited liability Company that was organized on December 12, 2007. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Body & Brain Yoga and Health Centers, Inc. The Company is engaged in the business of franchising a chain of studios providing yoga classes, including dieting programs, exercise programs, relaxation programs, healing programs, life coaching and other mind-body practice programs, known as "Body & Brain" franchisees. Each franchisee independently operates a center using the Marks, the Unique System, the Body and Brain name, as well as the support, guidance and other methods and materials provided or developed by the Company.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates are based on management's previous experience including expectations of future events under normal conditions. The aforementioned judgments, estimates and assumptions are periodically re-assessed in order to be in line with current available data and reflect current risks.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the amount paid by the Company over the book value of the assets purchased for a direct center. Goodwill is not amortized but tested at least annually for impairment. To determine whether goodwill is impaired, annually or more frequently if needed, the Company performs a multi-step impairment test. The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.
