Stock Exchange Agreement
On October 11, 2007, Location Based Technologies, Corp. effected a stock exchange agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Springbank Resources, Inc. (“SRI”) whereby SRI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Location Based Technologies, Corp. in exchange for shares of SRI’s common stock.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, SRI issued, and the stockholders of Location Based Technologies, Corp. accepted 55,153,500 shares of SRI’s common stock in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Location Based Technologies, Corp. The shares of SRI’s common stock were allocated to the shareholders of Location Based Technologies, Corp. in accordance with the Agreement.
The former shareholders of Location Based Technologies, Corp. acquired control of SRI upon the closing of the stock exchange transaction. The exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, Location Based Technologies, Corp. was considered the accounting acquiror, and the related business combination was considered a recapitalization of Location Based Technologies, Corp. rather than an acquisition by SRI. The historical financial statements prior to the Agreement are those of Location Based Technologies, Corp., and the name of the company was changed to Location Based Technologies, Inc.
Consolidation Policy
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Location Based Technologies, Ltd. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Stock Split
All share and per-share amounts in the accompanying financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, have been retroactively restated to reflect a 3 for 1 stock split approved by the Board in October 2008, as if the split had been in effect since inception.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of August 31, 2012, had an accumulated deficit of $45,015,115. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management intends to raise additional financing through debt and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, even if the Company raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.
Use of Estimates
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts or balances to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash and Cash Equivalents
– The cash and cash equivalent balances at August 31, 2012 and 2011 were principally held by two institutions which insured our aggregated accounts with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000 per insured banking institution. At times, the Company has maintained bank balances which have exceeded FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to its cash balances.
Revenue and Accounts Receivable
–
For the year ended August 31, 2012, revenue from one of the Company’s customers amounted to $689,170 or 73% of total net revenue. Accounts receivable from this customer amounted to $214,643 or 96% of total accounts receivable at August 31, 2012.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of August 31, 2012 and 2011 the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $304,597 and is related to the LoadRack project.

Net losses on firm purchase commitments for inventory are recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 330 –
Inventory
, whereby losses arising from firm, uncancelable and unhedged commitments for the future purchase of inventory items are recognized in the current period. For the year ended August 31, 2011, the Company recognized losses and a related liability from inventory purchase commitments totaling $685,500.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method and with useful lives used in computing depreciation ranging from 1 to 5 years. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Website Development Costs
, costs and expenses incurred during the planning and operating stages of the Company's web site development are expensed as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 –
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
that requires 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. During the year ended August 31, 2010, due to uncertainties related to the recovery of its investment in the PocketFinder® website as a result of generally poor economic conditions and the Company’s history of difficulties in obtaining financing for product launch, the Company recorded a full impairment of its Website Development Costs totaling $1,361,959 (see note 3).
Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable
The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable when the conversion rate is below market value. Pursuant to FASB ASC 470-20 –
Debt With Conversion and Other Options
, the estimated fair value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded in the financial statements as a discount from the face amount of the notes. Such discounts are amortized over the term of the notes or conversion of the notes, if sooner.

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. The Company has included its $800 minimum franchise fee in its provision for income taxes for the years August 31, 2012 and 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04,
Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs
, which amends ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurement
. The purpose of ASU 2011-04 is to clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and to change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The Company did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements implementing the provisions of ASU 2011-04.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,
Presentation of Comprehensive Income
, which amends ASC Topic 220,
Comprehensive Income
. The objective of ASU 2011-05 is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The update will require entities to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements, and entities will no longer be allowed to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income will be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-05 to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08,
Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,
which amends ASC Topic 350,
Intangibles — Goodwill and Other
. The purpose of ASU 2011-08 is to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. Entities will assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. In instances where the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, entities will perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies
In 2007, the Company sold convertible notes to accredited investors in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and similar state exemptions. Management has been advised by counsel that the availability of those exemptions cannot be determined with legal certainty due to the fact that the Company or its predecessors may not have complied with all of the provisions of exemption safe-harbors for such sales offered by rules promulgated under the Securities Act by the SEC. Thus, it is possible that a right of rescission may exist for shares underlying the convertible notes for which the statute of limitations has not run. From November 2007 through December 2007, all of the convertible notes payable totaling $5,242,000 were converted into 15,726,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, some of the shares were sold in the open market. Management has performed an analysis under FAS 5,
Accounting for Contingencies,
and concluded that the likelihood of a right of rescission being successfully enforced on the remaining convertible note shares is remote, and consequently, has accounted for these shares in permanent equity in the financial statements.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences arise from the difference between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and tax rates on the date of enactment.
The Company did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income taxes or benefits for any of the periods presented because the Company has experienced operating losses since inception. The Company provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn sufficient income to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.

As of August 31, 2012, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $37,063,000 which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2032. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. These carryforwards may be limited upon a change in ownership or consummation of a business combination under IRC Sections 381 and 382.
As of August 31, 2012 and 2011, no accrued interest and penalties are recorded relating to uncertain tax positions. Any such interest and penalties would be included in interest expense as a component of pre-tax net income or loss. The Company's tax filings are no longer open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years prior to 2008 and by state taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2007.
