NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Rogue One, Inc. (“Rogue One” or the “Company”) is a consumer products and marketing company focused on the high-margin, multi-trillion-dollar alcoholic beverages sector.

On June 27, 2017, Creative Edge Nutrition, a Nevada corporation ("CEN") and Rogue One executed an asset purchase agreement whereby the Company purchased the assets and liabilities of CEN's subsidiary, Giddy Up Energy Products, Inc. ("Giddy"). As consideration, the Company agreed to exchange 47,197,601 shares of its common stock. On January 24, 2018, the Company completed the distribution of its common shares to the CEN shareholders to consummate the acquisition of Giddy. On December 7, 2020, the Company and Giddy entered into a Settlement Agreement, Waiver and Release of Claims whereby each party warranted and represented that they sought to fully and mutually rescind the purchase agreement dated June 27, 2017 and, in so doing, for Giddy to acquire the assets previously sold and, at the same time, for each of the parties to waive and release all claims, both known and unknown, and to indemnify and hold all other parties harmless. In addition, the parties agreed to enter into an exclusive licensing agreement for the Giddy Up brand in the category of alcoholic beverages.

On September 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Human Brands International, Inc., a private corporation organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada (“Human Brands”), pursuant to which, at the effective time, Human Brands shareholders will exchange 100% of the equity in Human Brands in exchange for a majority controlling interest in the Company. On June 30, 2021, the Acquisition Agreement was made effective pending certain closing conditions. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 45 shares of its Series D preferred stock and an aggregate of 176,771,962 shares of its common stock to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Human Brands.

Human Brands operating divisions currently own and manage over 250,000 agave plants, several premium spirit brands, and hold exclusive import and export rights for a variety of spirit brands. Its core foundation is built upon its bulk tequila production operations. Human Brands currently has supply contracts with well- known tequila brands, celebrities, and athletes.

On April 7, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-100 reverse split which as preceded by a filing of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation that the Company completed with the Nevada Secretary of State on February 13, 2021. On April 7, 2021, the Company also amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Rogue One, Inc.

On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into that certain Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with each of the stockholders of Human Brands International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Acquired Company” or “Human Brands”), finishing the merger initiated on September 23, 2020.

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of forty-seven (47) shares of Series D Preferred Stock (par value $0.001) (the “Preferred Shares”) and an aggregate of One Hundred Seventy-Six Million Seven Hundred Seventy-One Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty-Two (176,771,962) shares of Common Stock (par value $0.001) (the “Common Shares”) to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Acquired Company.

The Acquisition Agreement was the product of several months of meetings and due diligence conducted by the Company’s officers and directors that resulted in successful negotiations with the officers and directors of the Acquired Company and the stockholders of the Acquired Company.

The Company did not employ or utilize the services of any investment banker, advisor, or other third party in connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the transactions underlying the Acquisition Agreement or both of them. As a result, the Company did not incur or pay any fees to any investment banker, advisor, or other third party but may ignored critically important aspects of the business conducted by the Acquired Company that we may later discover with materially adverse consequences to the Company’s financial condition for an indefinite period of time.

All of the Preferred Shares and all of the Common Shares that were issued in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement are “unregistered securities” in that they were issued pursuant to claims of exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Rule 506(b) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder as well as certain claims to the qualification requirements under state securities laws in the states wherein the holders of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Acquired Company. Moreover, all of the Preferred Shares and all of the Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement were issued with a restricted securities legend and only then after we received certain additional written assurances from the stockholders of the Acquired Company.

Human Brands was founded in late 2014 with a plan to capitalize in perceived growth prospects in the consumer alcoholic products industry. In recent years Human Brands has focused on the tequila products segment within that industry as management believes that the tequila products segment may offer stronger sales growth opportunities relative to other consumer alcoholic segments. The management of Human Brands follows a “ground to glass” strategy that, in practical terms, means that management attempts to control marketing, sales, and assets throughout the selection of raw materials (the agave plants) and the operation of the manufacturing process. The strategy also involves selection and constant management of the marketing channels, advertising programs, and target marketing strategies. Human Brands has had to confront ever-rising costs for raw materials as agave prices have increased by about 694% since 2016.

Currently Human Brands has approximately 400,000 agave plants and has adopted a strategy to grow more agave plants to ensure that the company has a stable supply of raw materials and at price levels that may serve to insulate the company from excessive price increases in the market. The company has adopted a two-part strategy: (a) sell agave plants to generate revenues; and (b) at the same time, use agave produced by the company’s own agave plants as raw material for the company’s tequila products. The Company believes that, if circumstances allow, this strategy may serve to insulate the company from some of the excessive cost pressures in the raw agave market.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception.

Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of convertible debt as a measure to finance working capital needs. The Company will be required to continue to do so until such time that its consolidated operations become profitable.

Basis of Presentation

S-X 4-01(a)(1) requires financial statements filed with the SEC to be presented in accordance with US GAAP, unless the SEC has indicated otherwise (e.g., foreign private issuers are permitted to use IFRS as issued by the IASB). Regulation S-K Item 10(e) prohibits the inclusion of non-GAAP information in financial statements filed with the SEC.

In practice, some reporting entities choose to provide a “Basis of Presentation,” or similarly titled footnote to disclose that the financial statements are presented in accordance with US GAAP. Other reporting entities choose to include this information in a “Significant Accounting Policies” footnote, as described in FSP 1.1.4.

The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company believes these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.

Disclosure of accounting policies

ASC 235, Notes to Financial Statements, states the following regarding accounting policy disclosures:

ASC 235-10-50-3: Disclosure of accounting policies shall identify and describe the accounting principles followed by the entity and the methods of applying those principles that materially affect the determination of financials position, cash flows, or results of operations. In general, the disclosure shall encompass important judgments as to appropriateness of principles relation to recognition of revenue and allocation of asset costs to current and future periods; in particular, it shall encompass those accounting principles and methods that involve any of the following:

  I. A selection form existing acceptable alternative.

 

  II. Principles and methods peculiar to the industry in which the entity operates, even if such principles and methods are predominantly followed in that industry.

  III. Unusual or innovative applications of GAAP.
 

 

Reporting entities are required to describe all significant accounting policies in the financial statements. Determining which accounting policies are considered “significant” is a matter of management judgment. Management might consider materiality of the related account, as well as the requirements of users, such as investors, analysts, financial institutions, and other constituents.

ASC 235 permits flexibility in matters of format (including the location) of the policy footnote, as long as it is an integral part of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Pursuant to the FASB Codification Master Glossary, cash includes currency on hand and demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. Cash also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. For purposes of classification in the statement of cash flows, the Master Glossary defines cash equivalents as short-term, highly liquid investments that have both of the following characteristics: (1) they are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and (2) are so near to maturity that they represent insignificant risk of changes in value due to changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition.

Cash and cash equivalents are typically included as a current asset in a classified balance sheet, unless they are (1) restricted as to the withdrawal or use for other than current operations, (2) designated for expenditure in the acquisition or construction of non-current assets, or (3) segregated for the liquidation of long-term debts. Note that, even though they have not been set aside in special accounts, funds that are clearly to be used in the near future for the liquidation of long-term debts, payments to sinking funds, or similar purposes should not be included in current assets, unless the funds can offset maturing debt that has properly been set up as a current liability. A bank overdraft should be classified as a current liability unless it can be offset against free cash balances in the same bank.

Except for the requirement that restricted cash not be classified as a current asset, there are no specific GAAP requirements relating to compensating- balance arrangements. The SEC, however, requires certain disclosures and, if these are significant, they are generally included in the notes to financial statements of all companies-privately held as well as publicly held entities.

The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000, when located in the United States of America. In Mexico, the original bank deposit protection fund, Fobaproa, was replaced by the current bank savings protection institute known as IPAB, who protects money up to the value of 400,000 UDIs equivalent to USD 137,400 (as of July 3, 2022) in savings accounts, checking accounts, debit cards, payroll accounts, and certain investment accounts such as term deposits and certificates of deposit.

 

 

On September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have bank balances exceeding the FDIC and IPAB insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its financial instruments. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The respective carrying value of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximates its fair value. These financial instruments include cash, related party payables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings. Fair values were estimated to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature, and they are receivable or payable on demand.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Entities with simple capital structures (i.e., those with only common stock and no potential common stock) are required to present on the face of the income statement basic BPS for income from continuing operations and for net income. The caption "income from continuing operations" encompasses income before the cumulative effect of an accounting change when the cumulative effect of an accounting change is present. Entities with complex capital structures (i.e., those with both common stock and potential common stock) must present on the face of the income statement basic and diluted BPS for the same captions. BPS amounts should also be presented, either on the face of the income statement itself or in the notes to the financial statements, for discontinued operations. Whether such BPS amounts are reported before or net-of-tax should be disclosed. Basic BPS, and if applicable, diluted BPS should be shown for each class of common stock outstanding. Disclosure of cash flow per share amounts is prohibited. BPS data are required for all periods for which income statements or summaries of earnings are presented. If diluted BPS is reported for any period, it must also be presented for all periods-even if diluted BPS is the same amount as basic BPS. If basic 'and diluted BPS are the same for all periods, they may be presented as one line item in the income statement. Note that the terms "basic BPS" and "diluted BPS" may be described differently. The terms such as "earnings per common share" and ''earnings per common share-assuming dilution" are acceptable.

The following disclosures are required for each period for which an income statement is presented:

·A reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for income from continuing operations (or other applicable caption when the cumulative effect of an accounting change is present). The reconciliation should include the individual in- come and share amount impact of all securities that affect earnings per share.
·The effect that has been given to preferred dividends in arriving at income available to common stockholders in computing basic BPS.
·Securities, including those issuable pursuant to contingent stock agreements, that could potentially dilute basic BPS in the future that were included in the computation of diluted BPS because their effects antidilutive.

 

 

For the latest periods for which an income statement is presented, a description. should be provided of any transactions occurring subsequent to the end period but before the financial statements are issued (or available for issue) would have materially changed the number of common shares or potential common shares outstanding, had such transactions taken place before the end of the period. Examples of such transactions include:

·The issuance or acquisition of common shares
·Resolution of a contingency pursuant to a contingent stock agreement
·Conversion or exercise of potential common shares.

 

 In the period in which a dropdown transaction occurs, disclosure, in narrative form, should be made by a master limited partnership regarding how the rights to the earnings (losses) of the transferred net assets differ before and the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method. When prior BPS amounts have been restated in compliance with an accounting standard requiring restatement, the per share effect of the restatement should be disclosed. Likewise, if, because of a stock split or dividend; retroactive adjustments to prior BPS amounts are made, that fact should be disclosed.

Note that if an entity that is not otherwise required to present BPS chooses to disclose such amounts, they must (1) be computed in accordance with the, guidance in FASB ASC 260, (2) be disclosed only in notes to financial statements, and (3) indicate whether the per-share amounts are presented pretax or net of tax.

Share-Based Compensation

ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The subsidiaries merged into the Company used this type of compensation for a significant amount of received services, minimizing, then the use of cash-flow.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. 

A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

The Company follows the provisions of the ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions will be highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. Management has not filed tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The amendment will be effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020; early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate a material impact on results of operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 30, 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-03, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting Alternative for Evaluating Triggering Events. The amendments in ASU 2021-03 provide private companies and not-for-profit (NFP) entities with an accounting alternative to perform the goodwill impairment triggering event evaluation as required in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, as of the end of the reporting period, whether the reporting period is an interim or annual period. An entity that elects this alternative is not required to monitor for goodwill impairment triggering events during the reporting period but, instead, should evaluate the facts and circumstances as of the end of each reporting period to determine whether a triggering event exists and, if so, whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.

 

On January 7, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which refines the scope of ASC 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the Board’s monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. The ASU permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest (PAI) in connection with reference rate reform activities under way in global financial markets (the “discounting transition”). The discounting transition may also affect collateralized bilateral derivative transactions, not all of which are indexed to a rate that will be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. ASU 2021-01 is intended to reduce diversity in practice related to accounting for (1) modifications to the terms of affected derivatives and (2) existing hedging relationships in which the affected derivatives are designated as hedging instruments.

On October 2020 the FASB issued ASU- 2020-10, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in Section B of this Update improve the Codification by ensuring that all guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to financial statements is codified in the Disclosure Section of the Codification. That reduces the likelihood that the disclosure requirement would be missed. The Board does not anticipate that the amendments in Section B will result in any changes to current GAAP.

The amendments in Section C of this Update are varied in nature and may affect the application of the guidance in cases in which the original guidance may have been unclear. The amendments in Section C clarify guidance so that an entity can apply the guidance more consistently.

On September 2020 the FASB issued ASU-2020-09, which was effective on January 4, 2021, but voluntary compliance is permitted in advance of the effective date. This ASU revises certain SEC paragraphs of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to reflect, as appropriate, the amended financial statement disclosure requirements in SEC Release 33-10762, Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities. Such ASC amendments address the requirements in:

  · Regulation S-X Rule 13-01 regarding disclosures about guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered

 

  · Regulation S-X Rule 13-02 regarding disclosures about a registrant’s affiliates whose securities collateralize any class of securities registered or being registered and the related collateral arrangement
