| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise noted.
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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation
The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eco Science Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ga-Du Corporation, through the date of dissolution, April 3, 2025. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These audited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. During the year ended January 31, 2026, in connection with the dissolution of Ga-Du Corporation, liabilities totaling $975,000 were reclassified from accounts payable and related party payables to “liabilities held on divestiture” to reflect their disposition. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income (loss).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the assets.
Technology, Licensing Rights and Software (Intangible Assets)
Technology, licensing rights, and software are recorded at cost and capitalized. These assets are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
During the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company acquired certain commercial software (see Note 4) for a purchase price of $100,000, which has been capitalized as an intangible asset.
No impairment expense was recognized for the years ended January 31, 2026, and 2025. The Company expects to amortize the software over an estimated useful life of three years once the asset is placed into service.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $0 during each of the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026, and 2025.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company identifies performance obligations within its contracts and recognizes revenue as those performance obligations are satisfied.
For the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not generate revenue.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists of direct costs incurred to generate revenue and is recognized as incurred. Such costs primarily include fees associated with the operation and delivery of the Company’s Herbo enterprise software platform.
For the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not incur any cost of revenue, as no revenue was generated during the periods.
To the extent revenue is generated through subsidiary operations, amounts recognized as revenue represent net proceeds after associated costs.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are 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 clients a cloud-based ERP platform (“Herbo”) and a financial services platform (“Herbo Pay”) to support the unique end-to-end business requirements of regulated, cash-intensive industries. While the Company operates both Herbo and Herbo Pay, these offerings are considered sufficiently similar to represent one operating segment.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies for our software platforms will include revenue recognition applicable to software-as-a-service including monthly installments for licenses to our platforms over specific periods of time. The Company is not yet generating revenue from its primary operations. The CODM evaluates the performance of the single operating segment based on the Company’s net income (loss) as reported in the Statements of Operations and allocates resources based on ongoing software development budgets and expected marketing costs to engage consumers. The Company’s segment assets, including intangible assets, are reported on the Balance Sheets.
The CODM will review performance upon commencement of sales based on gross profit, operating profit, 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 presently have any customer representing more than 10% of total revenues for any period presented and currently has no revenues. Accordingly, the CODM considers 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Convertible Instruments and Debt Settlements
Obligations owing to related parties, including operating advances made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to fund operations with an expectation of repayment, are recorded as liabilities and are not treated as capital contributions. When such obligations are settled on terms identical to those extended to, and accepted by, unrelated creditors in the same transaction, the settlements are accounted for as extinguishments of debt under ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments, and any resulting gain is recognized in the statement of operations. No amount is credited to additional paid-in capital as a capital contribution unless the related party receives terms more favorable than those available to unrelated creditors.
The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, as amended by ASU 2020-06, and evaluates embedded conversion features under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine whether such features require bifurcation and separate accounting as derivative liabilities.
For convertible instruments that may be settled in a variable number of shares, the Company evaluates whether the arrangement results in derivative liability classification or should be accounted for as a conventional debt instrument. To the extent such features do not require derivative accounting, any associated debt discount is recorded and amortized over the term of the instrument using the effective interest method.
The Company accounts for the extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments. Gains or losses on extinguishment are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as the difference between the carrying amount of the debt extinguished and the fair value of consideration transferred.
When debt is settled through the issuance of common stock, the transaction is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the date of settlement, as determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is not reliably measurable, the transaction is measured based on the carrying amount of the debt extinguished.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments that are not required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis—including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable, and notes payable—approximate their fair values as of January 31, 2026 and 2025 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. 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. The Company uses observable market data when available and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are classified within a three-level hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.
The Company applies fair value principles in connection with equity instruments issued in non-cash transactions, including debt settlement transactions.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for leases with terms greater than twelve months based on the present value of future lease payments. The Company has elected the short-term lease exemption for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.
As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have any material lease arrangements.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible instruments using the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.
All share and per-share amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Company’s 1-for-25 reverse stock split effective May 4, 2026.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance during the year ended January 31, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.

The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements due to the limited nature of the Company’s receivable balances.
The Company has adopted ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating certain separation models and requiring that convertible instruments be accounted for as a single liability unless they contain features requiring separate accounting as derivatives. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The amendments are effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. |
