Accounting Policies [Abstract]
 
Organization

Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. (fka “Geostar Mineral Corporation” or ”Geostar”) (“ABMT”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 12, 2006 .

 

Shenzhen Changhua Biomedical Engineering Co.,Ltd. (“Shenzhen Changhua”) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on September 25, 2002 as a limited liability company with a registered capital of $724,017. Shenzhen Changhua is owned by two stockholders in the proportion of 70% and 30% respectively. Shenzhen Changhua plans to develop, manufacture and market self-reinforced, re-absorbable degradable PA screws, robs and binding ties for fixation on human fractured bones. The Company is currently conducting clinical trials on its products and intends to raise additional capital to produce and market its products commercially pending the approval from the State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) of the PRC on its products. The Company has no revenue since its inception and, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities”, is considered a Development Stage Company.

 

Masterise Holdings Limited (“Masterise”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 31 May, 2007 as an investment holding company. Masterise is owned as to 63% by the spouse of Shenzhen Changhua’s 70% majority stockholder and 37% by a third party corporation.

 

On January 29, 2008, Masterise entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) with a stockholder of Shenzhen Changhua whereupon Masterise acquired 70% of Shenzhen Changhua for US$64,100 in cash. The acquisition was completed on February 25, 2008. As both Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua are under common control and management, the acquisition was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, the operations of Shenzhen Changhua were included in the consolidated financial statements as if the transactions had occurred retroactively.

 

On December 31, 2008, ABMT consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (“the Exchange Agreement”) with the stockholders of Masterise pursuant to which Geostar issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of Masterise for 100% equity interest in Masterise.

 

Concurrently, on December 31, 2008, a major stockholder of ABMT also consummated an Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Affiliate Agreement”) with thirteen individuals including all the stockholders of Masterise, pursuant to which the major stockholder sold a total of 5,001,000 shares of ABMT’s common stock for a total aggregate consideration of $5,000, including 4,438,250 shares to the stockholders of Masterise.

 

On consummation of the Exchange Agreement and the Affiliate Agreement, the 70% majority stockholder of Masterise became a 80.7% stockholder of ABMT.

 

On March 13, 2009, the name of the Company was changed from Geostar Mineral Corporation to Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc.

 

The merger of ABMT and Masterise was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Masterise (“the accounting acquirer”) and a re-organization by ABMT (“the accounting acquiree”). The financial statements have been prepared as if the re-organization had occurred retroactively.

 

Accordingly, these financial statements include the following:

 

  (1) The balance sheet consisting of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost.

 

  (2) The statement of operations including the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the transaction.

 

ABMT, Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua are hereinafter referred to as (“the Company”)

  
Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ABMT and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Masterise and its 70% owned subsidiary, Shenzhen Changhua. The non-controlling interests in prior periods represent the non-controlling stockholders’ 30% proportionate share of the results of Shenzhen Changhua.

 

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

  
Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  
Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than three months. As of October 31, 2012 and 2011, all the cash and cash equivalents were denominated in United States Dollars (“US$”), Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the United States of America, Hong Kong and PRC.  Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.

  
Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the assets are 5 years.

  
Long-lived assets

 

In accordance with FASB Codification Topic 360 (ASC Topic 360), “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets", long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long- lived assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets to determine that carrying values are not impaired.

 

  
Fair value of financial instruments

 

FASB Codification Topic 825 (ASC Topic 825), "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of other receivables and prepaid expenses, other payables and accrued expenses, due to a stockholder, directors and related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial statements.

  
Government Grant

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company complies with any conditions attached to them and the grants will be received.

 

In April 2011, the Company was informed of approval of one grant totaling $244,479 under the Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Grants Program. The Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Grants Program was included in the healthcare reform legislation, and established a one-time pool of $1 billion for grants to small biotechnology companies developing novel therapeutics which show potential to: (a) result in new therapies that either treat areas of unmet medical need, or prevent, detect, or treat chronic or acute diseases and conditions; (b) reduce long-term health care costs in the United States; or (c) significantly advance the goal of curing cancer within a 30-year period. The grant was received on May 6, 2011. There are no matching funding requirements or other requirements necessary to receive the funding and, therefore, the grant was classified as other income in the year ended 31 October 2011.

  
Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the enactment date.

  
Research and development

 

Research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed as incurred. Total expenditure on research and development charged to general and administrative expenses for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, and for the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2012 were $117,916, $19,734 and $256,683 respectively.

  
Foreign currency translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar.

 

ABMT, Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua maintain their accounting records in their functional currencies of US$, HK$ and RMB respectively.

 

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The financial statements of Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua (whose functional currency is HK$ and RMB respectively) are translated into US$ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.  All exchange differences are recorded within equity.

 

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HK$ and RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:

 

  October 31,2012   October 31, 2011
       
Balance sheet items, except for share capital, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficits, as of year end US$1=HK$7.7494=RMB6.2372   US$1=HK$7.7641=RMB6.3547
       
Amounts included in the statements of operations and cash flows for the year US$1=HK$7.7615=RMB6.3283   US$1=HK$7.7817=RMB6.5119

 

The translation loss recorded for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2012 were $36,081, $65,852 and $215,042 respectively.

 

No presentation is made that RMB amounts have been, or would be, converted into US$ at the above rates. Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB could be converted into US$ at that rate or any other rate.

 

The value of RMB against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting.

 

  
Other comprehensive loss

 

The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB and HK$ to US$ is reported as other comprehensive gain (loss) in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss and in the statement of stockholders’ deficit. Other comprehensive loss for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, and for the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2012, were $36,081, $65,852 and $215,042 respectively

 

  
Earnings/(loss) per share

 

Basic earnings/(loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were diluted. There were no potentially dilutive securities for 2012 and 2011.

  
Segments

 

The Company operates in only one segment, thereafter segment disclosure is not presented.

  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no new accounting pronouncements during the year ended October 31, 2012, that are of significance or potentially significance, to us.
