Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Inventory

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. On August 22, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase contract with a third party and subsequent sales contract with another third party. The Company did not recognize any inventory on this transaction as the risk of loss remains with the seller on this transaction and therefore no inventory was recorded by the Company. The Company has recognized a contract liability of $183,811 with the related to services which it will deliver within one year as a current liability.

 

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:

 

Identify the contract(s), and subsequent amendments with the customer.
Identify all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments.
Determine the transaction price for completing performance obligations.
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Recognize the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, under ASC 606 while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options, licensing, and other topics. The Company takes into account revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, nonrefundable upfront fees, licensing, customer acceptance, and other relevant categories.

 

The Company accounts for a contract when the Company and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the contract and are committed to performing their respective obligations, where each party can identify their rights, obligations, and payment terms, the contract has commercial substance, and the Company will probably collect all of the consideration substantially. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days and, in some cases, due upon receipt of the invoice.

 

The Company considers contract modification as a change in the scope or price (or both) of a contract that is approved by the parties. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties to the contract approve a modification that either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. The Company assumes a contract modification when approved in writing, by oral agreement, or implied by the customary business practice of the customer. If the parties to the contract have not approved a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the guidance to the existing contract until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms – including but not limited to partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding increase in price, adding new goods and/or services to the contract, with or without a corresponding change in price, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods or services promised.

 

For all its goods and services, at contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract, and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. Solutions and services that are not both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company determines the stand-alone selling price for each item at the inception of the transaction involving these multiple elements.

 

For purposes of determining the transaction price, the Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer. The Company assumes that the contract will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only those amounts to which the Company has rights under the present contract. For example, if the Company enters into a contract with a customer that has an original term of one year and the Company expects the customer to renew for a second year, the Company would determine the transaction price based on the original one-year term. When determining the transaction price, the Company first identifies the fixed consideration, which includes any nonrefundable upfront payment amounts.

 

 For purposes of allocating the transaction price, the Company allocates an amount that best represents consideration that the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. To meet the allocation objective, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. In determining the standalone selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the stand-alone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar circumstances. In some cases, the Company uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price, where it evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price that customers in that market would pay for those goods or services when sold separately.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” the promised goods or services when, or as, the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company considers a customer “obtains control” of an asset when, or as, it can direct the use of, and obtain all the remaining benefits from, an asset substantially. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services which it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will deliver more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for Income Taxes

 

 The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in each year.

 

 The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change in the next 12 months significantly.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date when financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which modifies ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The ASU’s amendments are based on changes that were suggested by stakeholders as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative (i.e., the Board’s effort to reduce the complexity of accounting standards while maintaining or enhancing the helpfulness of information provided to financial statement users. This ASU was adopted by the Company on September 1, 2021. The Company evaluated and concluded that the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 in response EITF consensus. This ASU addresses how the issuer should account for modifications or exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options. Freestanding written call options (such as warrants) are sometimes issued to enhance the marketability of a company’s debt or common stock offering. Some of these warrants are classified as equity in the issuer’s financial statements but are not accounted for as either stock compensation or derivatives. US GAAP does not address how the issuer should account for modifications of these instruments. The FASB has approved an EITF consensus to fill that void. Under the new guidance, if the modification does not change the instrument’s classification as equity, the company that issued the warrants accounts for the modification as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. In general, if the fair value of the ‘new’ instrument is greater than the fair value of the ‘original’ instrument, the excess is recognized based on the substance of the transaction, as if the issuer had paid cash. The new rule is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 for both public and private companies. Transition is prospective. Early adoption is permitted, as discussed further below. The Company is evaluating whether this will have any impact of on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

 Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or in management’s opinion will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
