Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (the
“
Company
”
) was incorporated in the State of Florida on April 28, 2008.
Through April 30, 2013, we were a holding company engaged through our subsidiary, Clarrix Energy, LLC, in the business of energy production and management. In May 2013, we closed Clarrix Energy, LLC and recognized a loss from our initial investment in the Company in 2012, reported as a loss from discontinued operations on the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31 2013.
In May, 2013, we acquired the PharmaJanes
TM
marketing operation and related intellectual property from iEquity Corp. and changed our business model to focus purely in the medical marijuana marketing space. We will be changing our name to PharmaJanes, Inc during the current fiscal year. PharmaJanes
™
has developed a web and phone application that allows individuals to place orders for medical marijuana through a website and smart phone application anywhere such a transaction is legal in the United States. The purpose of PharmaJanes
™
is to give patients a simple ordering platform, while allowing local collectives to service the orders in compliance with state and local laws and ordinances. PharmaJanes
TM
will act solely as an expediter and processor of the orders, and the fulfillment function will be done entirely within the particular state of residence of the purchaser, by licensed collectives or other licensed medical marijuana providers in that state.
PharmaJanes
™
currently has over multiple marketing contracts in place for this service and will be the exclusive point-of sale for the collectives under contract.
.
Since the acquisition, we have established our new web site and ordering platform at
www.pharmajanes.com
, which currently is available only in California for California residents. The acquisition of the PharmaJanes intellectual property and business was closed on May 31, 2013 in exchange for our promissory note payable to iEquity Corp. in the amount of $50,000, due in nine years at 8 percent interest and convertible after nine months at the election of the Holder at 50 percent of the closing market price of our common stock at the date of closing, May 31, 2013, or a conversion price of $0.00105. We also acquired the Simple Prepay
TM
merchant payment solution from iEquity Corp in May 2013. The Simple Prepay
TM
system was developed to offer dispensaries, collectives, and delivery services for medical cannabis, a convenient payment solution.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Medical marijuana patients are able to upload funds onto their Simple Prepay
TM
account via a smart phone application or via a website, allowing them to purchase their medical cannabis needs with privacy and simplicity. Our website at
www.simpleprepay.com
is in the development stages and is expected to go live shortly. The acquisition of the Simple Prepay
TM
intellectual property and business was closed on May 31, 2013 in exchange for our promissory note payable to iEquity Corp. in the amount of $30,000, due in nine years at 8 percent interest and convertible after nine months at the election of the Holder at 50 percent of the closing market price of our common stock at the date of closing, May 31, 2013, or a conversion price of $0.00105.
We also signed an agreement with SK3 Group, Inc. to become the exclusive on-line and smart phone ordering and marketing platform for collectives managed through the SK3 Group system. Members of the collectives managed by SK3 Group will be able to order their medical cannabis needs through PharmaJanes
TM
We agreed to issue a total of 100 million shares of our common stock to SKTO for this exclusive agreement, valued at $30,000 based on the closing market price for the stock on the date of the Agreement, and also undertook to register the planned distribution of the shares by SKTO to its shareholders. The shares are to be issued when the registration statement becomes effective. We have not yet filed the agreed to registration statement due to cost factors and the need to complete the fiscal year end audit, and have subsequently agreed to merge with SK3 Group, Inc. The unissued shares will be accounted for in the merger.
Combined with the PharmaJanes
™
on-line and smart phone ordering platform, medical marijuana patients will be able to order, process and pay for their authorized needs, in a simple, safe and secure ordering and payment interface. Local licensed collectives or other licensed medical marijuana providers in the home state of the end user, will then fulfill the orders provided through this new system, in full compliance with state and local laws and ordinances. We will act solely as a background ordering and payment service, and will not be cultivating, shipping, storing, delivering, or otherwise handling the medical marijuana, all of which will be handled directly by collectives or other providers licensed and authorized in the state in which the delivery is both authorized and completed, currently limited to California.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. and its former wholly-owned subsidiary Clarrix Energy, LLC, for the periods ended prior to May, 2013, and for the Company only for the nine months ended April 30, 2014. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid technological change and which is heavily regulated by both state and federal regulators. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with a development stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A significant estimate in 2013 and 2012 included a 100% valuation allowance for deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses incurred since inception.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ materially from estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively, there were no balances that exceeded the federally insured limit.
Earnings per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10,
"
Earnings per Share
."
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share have not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of April 30, 2014 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 182,760,001 shares which include $266,017 of debt and accrued interest convertible into shares of the Company
’
s common stock.
Share Based Payments
The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718,
“
Stock Compensation
”
(
“
ASC 718
”
). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
The Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with Topic 505-50,
“
Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.
”
Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date.
The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term
“
forfeitures
”
is distinct from
“
cancellations
”
or
“
expirations
”
and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant. The Company estimates forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
These standards define a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with ASC 718 and 505, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Binomial or Black-Scholes option-pricing models, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (
“
ASC
”
) Topic 360-10-05,
“
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
”
ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset
’
s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
All financial instruments, including derivatives, are to be recognized on the balance sheet initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of all financial assets and liabilities except those held-for-trading and available for sale are measured at amortized cost determined using the effective interest rate method. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when derecognized or impaired.
The carrying amounts of the Company
’
s other short-term financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The Company does not utilize financial derivatives or other contracts to manage commodity price risks. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).
The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities reflects the Company's estimate of amounts that it would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from sources independent from the Company) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (the Company's assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
·
Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Note 2 Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
·
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.
·
Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management
’
s best estimate of fair value.
The carrying value of cash, accounts payables, due to related party, notes payable, and convertible notes approximates their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Derivatives
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815
“
Derivatives and Hedging
”
to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to estimate the fair value of convertible debt conversion features at the end of each applicable reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives during each reporting period are included in the consolidated statement of operation. Inputs into the Binomial pricing model require estimates, including such items as estimated volatility of the Company
’
s stock, risk-free interest rate and the estimated life of the financial instruments being fair valued. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20
“
Debt with Conversion and Other Options
”
for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.
Convertible Debentures
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (
“
BCF
”
). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20
“
Debt with Conversion and Other Options
.
”
In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company
’
s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company
’
s financials properly reflect the change.
Note 3 Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net income of $1,762,716 for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 due mainly to a gain on derivatives of $3,248,541 and an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $8,980,575 at April 30, 2014. The Company had a loss from operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2014of $255,901.

Note 3 Going Concern (continued)
These factors, among others, raise doubt about the Company
’
s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
|
|
·
|
The Company is seeking third party debt and/or equity financing;
|
·
|
The Company is cutting operating costs, and
|
·
|
As described in Note 2, the Company has been involved in numerous acquisitions with the intent of achieving a level of profitability
|
Management believes the current cash on hand at April 30, 2014 is sufficient to maintain current operations for at least one year.
Note 4 Notes Payable
The following details the significant terms and balances of convertible notes payable, net of debt discounts:
