Nature of Operations (continued)
The Company has also pursued plans to acquire the assets of an entertainment consulting and marketing firm. The Company has signed a definitive agreement and the close of the acquisition is contingent upon the Company raising funds sufficient to pay the purchase price and support its continuing operations. The Company is intending to restructure its debt and attempt to negotiate settlements on all of its debts and seek additional capital. There is no guarantee that we will be able to close the acquisition or the restructuring of the debt.
We are primarily focusing our sales efforts in regions where electricity prices and government incentives are attractive and have accelerated solar power adoption. The business segments we have identified to pursue can require a significant level of expertise and capital. Currently the Company has been focusing on this working business model to identify ways to improve profit margins, to identify viable projects of significant size, and to determine the impact of lower incentives available in the solar markets as well as a current over-supply of solar panels. If it is determined that the solar markets remain a viable business model, we will identify the necessary expertise to focus on these strategies; however if we are unable to continue to acquire or develop such expertise or capital or to acquire additional operating businesses in the solar filed, we may not be able to fully develop our planned business and ultimately may be required to cease operations in the solar markets. In the meantime, we intend to identify other market segments where we can enter at relatively low cost and which offer more rapid routes to profitable operations. Our current discussions focusing on an acquisition in the entertainment markets is the initial step in the new direction.
Business Focus
Our business has been to market and sell solar power projects, and services. Specifically, we have been engaged in the following:
1) Supporting and expanding a dealer network that sells solar components and systems to residential and commercial customers, and
2) Developing commercial projects, as the owner and operator, and selling power to the municipality, building owner or tenant
We have offered solar power products including solar panels, inverters and balance of system which convert sunlight into utility quality electricity, and solar thermal systems which utilizes the sun
’
s radiation to heat water for homes and commercial applications. Installation and maintenance of these solar power products was performed by either the dealer network or third party vendors identified by us. Our initial solar installation sales efforts were focused on supporting our dealer network
’
s sales to residential, commercial customers and the sale of solar systems to owner/operators where the energy generated will be sold to municipal customers.
We have purchased products for our solar sales activities from manufacturers and vendors around the world. We bought products at wholesale prices based on market rates, and have relationships within the distribution and supply trade.
As we evaluate the continuation of the current solar business, we are also exploring new potential markets and development opportunities, through expansion and acquisitions.

Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

Note 2

Going Concern (continued)
America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses from operations since our inception, and at the present time will need additional capital to maintain operations and execute our business plan. As such, our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon us being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable us to meet our cash requirements. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets, the competitive environment in which we operate and the current credit shortage facing world-wide markets.
Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private equity financing, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.
However, there can be no assurance that our plans discussed above will materialize and/or that we will be successful in funding our estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital and/or any cash generated by our operations. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We anticipate our operations will be sufficient to provide adequate operating revenue to maintain the business. Adding at least $1,250,000 in funds will allow us to quickly move forward with projects in hand which, if successful, should provide cash flow allowing for advantageous inventory purchases and the securing of additional projects, potentially increasing our growth and profitability. With more capital, we would also be able to add additional staff and start development of other projects. Currently we have approximately $0 in cash on hand. The current level of cash is not enough to cover the fixed and variable obligations of the Company, so increased sales performance and the addition of more capital are critical to our success as is the acquisition of or expansion into new markets and new lines of business.
Assuming we are successful in our sales/development and acquisition efforts, we believe that we will be able to raise additional funds through the sale of our stock to either current or new shareholders. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise additional funds or to do so at an advantageous price.
Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Instruments
- The Company
’
s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes receivable and payable. These financial instruments are stated at their respective carrying values, which approximate their fair values.
Use of Estimates
- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain 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. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements arise from our belief that we will secure an a d equate amount of cash to continue as a going concern, that our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover potential losses in our receivable portfolio, that all long-lived assets are recoverable. The markets for our products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development, evolving standards, short product life cycles and price competition, all of which could impact the future realization of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.
Revenue Recognition
- The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission
’
s (
“
SEC
”
) Staff Accounting Bulletin (
“
SAB
”
) No. 104,
“
Revenue Recognition
”
. The Company generates revenue from the sale of training, photovoltaic panels, photovoltaic roofing systems, solar thermal products, balance of system products, and management system products to our dealer network or other parties. The Company anticipates it will not perform any installations. SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the seller
’
s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts billed or received from customers in advance of performance are recorded as deferred revenue.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
- The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. There were no accounts receivable balances at January 31, 2013.
Warranty Reserves
- The Company purchases its products for sale from third parties. The manufacturer warrants or guarantees the operating integrity, and performance of photovoltaic solar products at certain levels of conversion efficiency for extended periods, up to 25 years. The manufacturer also warrants or guarantees the functionality of inverters and balance of systems up to 10 years. Therefore, the Company does not recognize warranty expense.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
-
Shipping and handling fees, if billed to customers, are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are expensed as incurred. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are classified as cost of sales.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit, and money market accounts that are readily convertible into cash.
Inventory
- Inventories consist of photovoltaic solar panels, solar thermal panels and components, other component materials for specific customer orders and spare parts, and are valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management provides a reserve to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. Certain factors could impact the realizable value of inventory, so management continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration expected

demand, new product development; the effect new products might have on the sale of existing products, product obsolescence, and other factors. The reserve or write - down is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required. If actual market conditions are more favorable, reserves or write-downs may be reversed. As of January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 inventory was $0 and $2,692, respectively, .as all of the inventory was held by bow closed subsidiaries
Fixed Assets
- Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:
