Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed April 17, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year as a whole. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and classification of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has experienced recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.9 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $8.5 million at March 31, 2023. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financing. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to require substantial funds to implement its new investment acquisition plans. Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, and issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements depends on its ability to execute its business plan, increase revenue, and reduce expenditures. Such conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company maintains certain cash balances at several institutions located outside the United States. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is comprised of finished goods and raw materials and is valued at the lower of cost or market, using the “first-in, first-out” method in determining cost. Management evaluates the allowance for inventory obsolescence on a regular basis and has determined that no allowance for slow moving or obsolete inventory is necessary as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses, on an annual basis, the recoverability of the carrying amount of intangible assets and long-lived assets used in continuing operations. A loss is recognized when expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is determined as the difference by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company evaluated its long-lived assets for any indications of impairment. The Company concluded that there was no impairment, however there can be no assurance that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

It is the Company’s policy that revenues from product sales is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenues from Contracts with Customers.” Five basic steps must be followed before revenue can be recognized; (1) Identifying the contract(s) with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; (2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract, such as promising to transfer goods or services to a customer; (3) Determining the transaction price, meaning the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, which requires the Company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract; and (5) Recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.

 

Revenues from direct retail sales to consumers and revenues from independent distributors occur when title and risk of loss had passed, which generally occurs at the time the products are shipped. Revenues are recorded net of estimated sales returns and allowances.

 

Allowances for product returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This liability is based upon historic return rates and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to one year following the original sale. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had a reserve for sales returns of approximately $6,100 (December 31, 2022 - $7,000), which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

A portion of the Company’s business operations occur outside the United States. The local currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally its functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates existing at the balance sheet dates, revenue and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is recorded at historical exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and as a component of comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Net Loss per Common Share, basic

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the dilutive effect of 11,275,341 and 3,836,000, respectively, of common stock warrants have not been included in the average shares outstanding for the calculation of net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of our net losses in these periods.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

 

The Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, notes payable and, convertible debentures. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments are of approximate fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements. The Company’s derivative liabilities are valued using option pricing models with Level 3 inputs.

 

Sequencing

 

Based upon ASC 840-15-25, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible notes and warrants. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon the earliest issuance date.
