SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the three and six months ended April 30, 2025.
Out-of-Period Adjustment During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment to write off the full gross amount of a previously capitalized intangible asset related to the prototype Compact Hydrogen Refueling Station (“CHRS”). The asset was originally recorded at $136,725 following the conversion of a SAFE investment into intellectual property. Upon further evaluation, management determined that the asset did not meet the criteria for capitalization. Management evaluated the error, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and concluded that the adjustment was not material to any prior interim or annual period. The Company recorded an expense of $105,190, presented as “Loss on write-off of intangible asset” within other expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 2025. The remaining balance of the gross asset and related accumulated amortization were removed from the balance sheet as part of the adjustment. The previously recorded amortization from earlier periods was not reversed and remains reported in those respective periods. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the financial statements are prepared.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of April 30, 2025, and October 31, 2024, the Company did not hold any investments that qualify as cash equivalents. Therefore, the cash and cash equivalents line item in the balance sheet solely comprises cash.
The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. While the Company monitors the credit quality of its banking institutions, cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits expose the Company to a certain degree of credit risk in the event of the financial institutions' failure.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires that the cost of equity instrument awards, issued in exchange for services, including those issued to employees and predominantly to consultants, be measured at the grant-date fair value. The Company does not adhere to a formal stock-based compensation plan; rather, it issues stock awards on a discretionary basis as part of compensation agreements with selected employees and consultants. Compensation for stock-based awards is recognized as a non-cash expense on the statement of operations. The expense associated with these awards is recorded based on the fair value on the date of grant, as determined using a pricing model commensurate with the terms of the award. This cost is recognized over the period during which the award recipient is required to perform services, typically known as the vesting period. The total compensation cost related to vested stock-based awards is recognized after adjusting for estimated forfeitures at the time of vesting. The expense related to stock-based compensation is included within the same income statement lines as cash compensation for the consultants and employees who receive the awards, currently included in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations as the Company does not allocate compensation costs to Costs of Goods Sold. As of the report date, the Company has not established any plans to issue dividends on stock-based awards. Any tax benefits arising from deductions for these awards are recorded in additional paid-in capital, provided they exceed the cumulative compensation cost recognized.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not that, based on technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024, and does not anticipate any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
In certain arrangements where the Company facilitates the provision of goods or services provided by a third party, and does not take control of those goods or services, revenue is recognized on a net basis, limited to the margin or fee earned, consistent with the Company’s role as an agent under ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40.
During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company recognized $43,708 in revenue related to the facilitation of delivery of hydrogen refueling equipment and related services. Based on its evaluation of the arrangement, the Company determined that it acted as an agent with respect to the facilitation of delivery of equipment, as it did not obtain control of the goods and the third-party vendor delivered directly to the customer. As a result, revenue was recognized on a net basis, excluding gross billings and associated third-party costs, in accordance with ASC 606.
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable as common stock equivalents. As the Company is currently presenting net losses the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes potential common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statement of operations in the year of disposal. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
The Company’s property and equipment consists of specialized hydrogen equipment, related processing systems, and vehicles. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Small equipment is depreciated over 3 years, vehicles are depreciated over 4 years, and large equipment is depreciated over 7 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.
Leases The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). At contract inception, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Where the Company is the lessee, for each lease with a term greater than twelve months, the Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liability. A right-of-use asset represents the economic benefit conveyed to the Company by the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. A lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the use of the asset over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s convertible promissory note issued on April 7, 2025, is classified as a liability and measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as the instrument requires settlement in a variable number of shares for a fixed monetary amount. The fair value of the convertible note was determined based on the conversion terms and observable market price of the Company’s common stock.
Fair value is defined as 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. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2025 were as follows:
