SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 9, 2025.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $73.5 million at March 31, 2025, and had a net loss of $34.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To support our existing and planned business model, the Company needs to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. The Company has not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through loans and has not experienced any liquidity problems in settling payables in the normal course of business and repaying loans when they fall due. Successful renewal of our loans, however, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. In addition, the increasingly competitive industry conditions under which we operate may negatively impacted our results of operations and cash flows. Additional debt financing is anticipated to fund the Company’s operations in near future. However, there are no current agreements or understandings with regard to the form, time or amount of such financing and there is no assurance that any of this financing can be obtained or that the Company can continue as a going concern.
Principles of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Limitless X Holdings Inc. (a holding company) and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries: Limitless X, Inc. and Prime Time Live, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances have been eliminated during consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make 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. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments comprised of the components of an entity in which separate information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group of decision makers, in determining how to allocate resources in evaluating performance. The Company consists of a single reporting segment providing direct to consumer e-commerce services for the Company’s health and wellness products, with a primary emphasis on dietary supplements. The Company’s current lead products are NZT-48, NZT-48 Lions mane, NZT-48 For Her and Oneshot Nootropic Pre-Workout.
The Company’s other businesses Limitless Films, Inc. (formed December 2024), XocelForte Therapeutics Inc. (formed in Augusts 2024), Limitless Entertainment, Inc. (December 2024), Limitless Digital Assets, Inc. (formed in December 2024) and Limitless Living Inc. (formed in December 2024) did not have any transactions during 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the direct-to-consumer ecommerce services segment are as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM evaluates the performance of the direct-to-consumer ecommerce services segment based on the Company’s net income (loss) as reported in the Statements of Operations. The Company’s segment assets are reported on the Balance Sheets.
The CODM reviews performance based on gross profit, operating profit, net earnings and net earnings. Operating profit is reviewed to monitor the operating and administrative expenses of the Company. Profitability is important to the Company’s ability to grow and expand operations and strategic initiatives. The Company does not have any operations or sources of revenue outside of the United States. The Company does not have any customer representing more than 10% of total revenues for any period presented. Accordingly, the CODM considers the revenue, operating expenses, and other income (expenses) of our single operating segment as reported on the statement of operations and considers our current and total assets as recorded on the balance sheet. There are no additional expense or asset information that are supplemental to those disclosed in these consolidated financial statements that are regularly provided to the CODM.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits carried at cost which approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company offers its products and services to a large number of customers. The risk of non-payment by these customers is considered minimal and the Company does not generally obtain collateral for sales. The Company continually monitors the credit standing of its customers.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net consists primarily of trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company sells its products for cash or on credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices and typically require payment within 30 days of delivery. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts and the related expected credit loss based upon the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics, current economic conditions, and reasonable forecasts. Accounts receivables are written off when determined to be uncollectible.
Holdback Receivables
The Company primarily sells its products online using various third-party sales affiliates. These affiliates (online marketing campaign companies) are paid certain commission based on their ability to provide the Company’s products through online sales. All payments are processed through various gateways and are settled through the Company’s payment gateway settler. The Company payment gateway settler is not responsible for settlements that are not paid due to processing bank failure. The Company holds responsibility for all the risk in all transactions and processing systems. The payment gateway settler charges a reserve fee to mitigate the risk on their end for any loss of funds or damages.
Distributions of the holdback receivables from the third-party payment gateway settler are based on several criteria, such as return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount, and so on. In order to mitigate processing risks, there are policies regarding reserve requirements and payment in arrears in place.
The total holdback receivables balance reflects the 0-10% reserve on gross sales and additional reserves by the third-party processor for additional returns and chargebacks if needed.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower-of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis, adjusted for the value of inventory that is determined to be excess, obsolete, expired, or unsaleable. Inventories primarily consisted of finished goods.
Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were approximately $191,134 and $721,678 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory sold during the period, as well as commission fees, returns, chargebacks, distribution, and shipping and handling costs. The amount shown is net of various rebates from third-party vendors in the form of payments.
Refunds Payable
If customers are not satisfied for any reason, they may request a full refund, processed to the original form of payment, within 30 days from the order date. If the order has already been shipped, the Company charges a 20% restocking fee. The Company’s estimate of the reserve is based upon the Company’s most historical experience of actual customer returns.
Chargebacks Payable
Once customers successfully dispute chargebacks with the payment processor, the Company returns such funds to the payment processor to return to the customer.
Income Taxes
The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings (losses) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The Company had a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company accounts for equity-based payment accruals under authoritative guidance as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The guidance requires all equity-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and warrants, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based at their fair values. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” using a modified prospective application, and the Black-Scholes model to value stock options. Under this application, the Company records compensation expense for all awards granted. Compensation costs will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted no securities under its 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, 2022 Restricted Stock Plan, and 2022 Stock Option Plan.
General Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable related credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
The Company purchases inventories from a few suppliers, and the Company’s one largest supplier accounted for 100% and 99% of total purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Operating Lease
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is a contract that provides the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For identified leases, the Company determines whether it should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are recorded in the balance sheet as: right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and operating lease liability. ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease and measured based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes deferred rent liabilities. The Company’s lease arrangements generally do not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, in such situations the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option in the measurement of its ROU asset and liability. Lease expense for the operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has month-to-month lease as of March 31, 2025.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, for valuing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. There were no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. There have been no transfers between levels.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures-In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted the ASU beginning with its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. However, the adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the requisite disclosure in its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. Such information should allow investors to better understand an entity’s performance, assess future cash flows, and compare performance over time and with other entities. The amendments will require public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, specific information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each expense caption presented on the face of the income statement, and the total amount of an entity’s selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
