Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

2. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

a) Statement of Compliance

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

b) Basis of Measurement

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis.

 

c) Functional and Presentation Currency

Franchise Holdings International, Inc.’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (USD). The Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) is the functional currency of Worksport.

 

The translation of CAD denominated assets and liabilities into USD for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements does not necessarily mean the Company could realize or settle, in USD, the reported values of these assets and liabilities in USD. Likewise, it does not mean the Company could return or distribute the reported USD value of Worksport’s capital to its shareholders.

 

d) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

e) Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,763,038 and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $10,354,299. While the Company has demonstrated the ability to generate revenue, there are no assurances that it will be able to achieve level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available the Company may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

 

f) Reclassification

Certain comparative figures have been re-classified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
