SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent 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 Flow Reporting
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 230”), Statement of Cash Flows, for cash flow reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income or loss to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income or loss that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.
Cash
Cash is comprised of cash balances. Cash is held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent that those balances exceed applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance amounts of $250,000. From time to time, the Company has certain cash balances, including restricted cash, that may exceed insured limits. The Company utilizes large banking institutions that are reputable, therefore mitigating the risks.
The Company maintains its cash balances at one financial institution that is insured by the FDIC. At September 30, 2023, the Company’s cash balances were not in excess of federally insured limits.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are comprised of furniture and equipment which are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the useful lives of the related assets, approximately seven years. Expenditures for minor enhancements and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and Certain Redeemable Financial Instruments. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.
The Company measures compensation cost for all employee stock-based awards at their fair values on the date of grant. Stock-based awards issued to non-employees are measured at their fair values on the date of grant and are re-measured at each reporting period through their vesting dates, as applicable. The fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The book values of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).
The hierarchy consists of three levels
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, payables, and accrued interest and short-term and long-term notes payable and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Long-lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of furniture, equipment, and a patent) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management, which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. During the year ended September 30, 2023, and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.
Research and Development
The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of professional service costs associated with the development of plant-based defense technology products. For the year ended September 30, 2023, and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had $0 and $0 in research and development expenses, respectively.
Patents
Any patent costs for internally developed patents will be expensed as incurred. Costs to maintain and defend patents are recorded as administrative expenses in the statement of operations.
Purchased patents are recorded at cost and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the ASC 360,
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as interest expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options, warrants and convertible notes. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The Company had total potential additional dilutive securities outstanding at September 30, 2023 and 2022 of $500,000 and $300,000, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments. The new guidance eliminates two of the three models in ASC 470-20 that require separating embedded conversion features from convertible instruments. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company evaluated the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements as it was adopted in 2022 and the impact can be seen on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit as it affected additional paid-in capital, $210,779, offset in accumulated deficit, $30,111.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
