| Basis of presentation |
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the consolidated results of BMB Munai, Inc., including the results of its wholly owned subsidiary, Emir Oil until September 19, 2011. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of BMB Munai, Inc. (the “Company” or “BMB Munai”) has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2012, and results of its operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. |
||||||||
| Use of estimates |
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates and affect the results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |
||||||||
| Concentration of credit risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. |
||||||||
| Foreign currency translation |
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States Dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Any gains or losses arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction are included as an exchange gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
|
||||||||
| Fair value of financial instruments |
The carrying values reported for cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values in the accompanying balance sheet due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. |
||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and marketable securities purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturity. |
||||||||
| Other fixed assets |
Other fixed assets are valued at historical cost adjusted for impairment loss less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes all direct costs associated with the acquisition of the fixed assets.
Depreciation of other fixed assets is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized as leasehold improvements, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease.
Other fixed assets of the Company are evaluated annually for impairment. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than net book value, unamortized costs of other fixed assets will be reduced to a fair value. Based on the Company’s analysis at June 30, 2012, no impairment of other assets is necessary.
|
||||||||
| Income (Loss) per common share |
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all contracts to issue common stock were converted into common stock, except for those that are anti-dilutive. |
||||||||
| Subsequent event |
Company management reviewed all material events through the date of issuance and there are no material subsequent events to report. |
||||||||
| Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements are expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or the results of operations. |
