NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information under Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended July 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the period ended October 31, 2021.

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and, as such, include amounts based on judgments, estimates, and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Investments

 

From time to time, the Company may invest in other Companies and acquire a minority interest.  The Company evaluates each investment in accordance with ASU 2016-01, which provides guidance on the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities.  The Company evaluates accounting for each investment under the equity or cost method depending on whether or not the Company has significant influence or control over the investee.  If an investment is considered an equity investment, when the Company has significant influence over the entity’s decision making and in such case the Company will record its share of earnings in the income statement.  An investment  may  be determined to be measured at cost, when the Company has no control or significant influence in decisions and in such case,  the Company will record its investment at cost and evaluate it for impairment at each period reported.  

 

If the Company were deemed to be in control or the primary beneficiary under variable interest consideration, the Company would consolidate the operations of the underlying investment.

 

Royalty Interests

 

Royalty interests are passive (non-operating) agreements that provide us with contractual rights to a percentage of revenue produced from companies we provide funds to. The Company amortizes the cost of royalty interests over the estimated life of the cash flows produced by the agreement, which is initially estimated at 15 years. Royalty interests are considered a long-lived asset that is required to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its royalty agreements at subsequent reporting periods to determine if a change in the underlying agreement or cash flows warrants a change in the estimate. Impairment exists for the royalty interests if the carrying amount exceeds the estimate of future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. An impairment charge is required to be recognized if the carrying amount of the asset, or asset group, exceeds its fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under royalty interest agreements when earned and collection is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from sales-based royalty interest agreements when the later of the following events occur: (1) the subsequent sales occur or (2) the performance obligation to which some or all for the sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied. The Company deems collection efforts to be the key performance obligation being satisfied, and therefore has adopted the approach of recognizing revenue based on customer collections. The operators that are parties to the royalty agreements, are typically structured to report and pay percentages of revenue earned over quarterly or monthly periods, some of which do not line up with the quarterly reporting period of the Company.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. 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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets that, based on managements evaluation, are not expected to be realized.  As of the balance sheet date, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against their deferred tax asset.

 

Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained based on their technical merits. The amount recognized is the amount that represents the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized. A liability is recognized for any benefit claimed or expected to be claimed, in a tax return in excess of the benefit recorded in the financial statements, along with any interest and penalty (if applicable) in such excess. The Company has no uncertain tax positions as of July 31, 2022.

 

Cryptocurrencies

 

The Company made investments in crypto currencies, including bitcoin and Ethereum, during the nine-months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 of $135,528 and $148,362, respectively.  Such amounts are included in current assets at original cost in the accompanying balance sheets, net of impairment.  The Company also sold $165,143 of its portfolio of cryptocurrencies for the nine months ended July 31, 2022.

 

Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it

is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.  During the nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $56,187 on its investment in cryptocurrencies.
