NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Accordingly, revenue is recognized when control of the goods or services promised under a contract is transferred to the customer either at a point in time (e.g., upon delivery) or over time (e.g., as the Company performs under the contract) in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights and payment terms of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. If collectability is not probable, the sale is deferred until collection becomes probable or payment is received.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities acquired under Business Combinations
Company follows new guidance under ASC 606 regarding recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. The company applies the definition of a performance obligation in ASC 606 when recognizing contract liabilities assumed in a business combination. The company eventually recognize contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. Earlier, contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination were recorded by the acquirer at fair value.
Work-in-progress
Work-in-progress is stated at cost plus attributable profit, less provision for any anticipated losses and progress billings. Cost comprises direct materials, labor, depreciation, and overheads. If any progress billings for any contract exceed the cost-plus attributable profit or less anticipated losses, the excess to be shown as excess progress billings. Claims are only recognized as income when the outcome and recoverability can be determined with reasonable certainty. Contract revenue and costs are recognized as revenue and expenses, respectively, in the statement of comprehensive income when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably.
In accordance with ASC-606 revenue recognition, amounts are billed in accordance with contractual terms or as work progresses. Unbilled amounts arise when the timing of billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met before a customer can be billed. Unbilled amounts primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-to-cost method is utilized, and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer as there’s not yet a right to invoice in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts are recorded as a contract asset when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Variations
Variations are recognized in contract revenue when the outcome can be determined with reasonable certainty and are capable of being reliably measured.
Variable consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The construction contracts provide customers with a right to claim damages for delay in delivery of goods. The rights to claim damages for delay in delivery of goods give rise to variable consideration.
F-8
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.
The duration of such receivables extends from 30 days to beyond 12 months. Full payment is received only when a job/project is completed, and approvals are obtained. Provisions are created based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivables are charged off against the allowances when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.
Inventories
In accordance with ASC 330, Company states inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes material, labor and overhead, is determined on a first in, first out basis. The Company makes adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, for estimated excess, obsolete, zero usage or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in market demand, product life cycle and engineering changes.
Tangible Assets/ Property Plant & Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, except when acquired in a business combination where property, plant and equipment are recorded at fair value. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method.
Buildings, related improvements & land improvements | ||||
Machinery & equipment | ||||
Computer hardware & software | ||||
Office, furniture & others |
Expenditures that extend the useful life of existing property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the Company’s balance sheet, with any gain or loss reflected in operations.
Stock Based Compensation
When applicable, the Company will account for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stocks, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
In accordance with ASC 718, the company will generally apply the same guidance to both employee and nonemployee share-based awards. However, the company will also follow specific guidance for share-based awards to nonemployees related to the attribution of compensation cost and the inputs to the option-pricing model for expected term. Nonemployee share-based payment equity awards are measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments, similar to employee share-based payment equity awards.
F-9
The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Binomial pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeiture” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant. The Company estimates forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expenses for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns. The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive.
Organization and Offering Cost
The Company has a policy to expense organization and offering cost as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumption that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 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 those estimates.
Business segment
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” requires use of the “management approach” model for segments reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
Below is the Statement of operations of reportable Segment:

Geographical presence
Presently our operations are spread across the United States, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and Republic of Serbia, however, we plan to further expand our regional presence and aim to expand our manufacturing operations in the United States during 2024. At present the revenue reported above is from United States and United Arab Emirates. We’ve classified the revenue based on the entities registered in their respective locations. All the revenue generated as indicated has solely come from external customers, with no sales involving inter-company transactions.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax positions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). This standard prescribes a recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as a result of the application of this standard. Deferred tax assets have not been created for those subsidiaries which are in income tax-free jurisdiction, because the losses incurred cannot be utilized in the future, rendering deferred tax assets irrelevant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 also clarifies that an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, for both interim and annual reporting periods.

NOTE 4: NON-CURRENT ASSETS
Goodwill
As a part of share purchase arrangement between Lee Larson Elmore and FB Technologies Global Inc., Nick Link, the owner of FB Technologies Global Inc. replaced Lee Larson Elmore as CEO of Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. on January 14, 2021, and we eventually got control over activities and books of accounts of Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. from the date January 14, 2021.
As of March 31, 2024, the additional Goodwill has been generated through the acquisition by our subsidiaries. Quality Industrial Corp. The operating business Al Shola Gas will be consolidated from January 1, 2024. Goodwill accounted for in the books is primarily a result of acquisitions, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets acquired.
The Company accounts for business combinations by estimating the fair value of the consideration paid for acquired businesses and assigning that amount to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the remainder assigned to goodwill. If the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of consideration paid, a gain on bargain purchase is recognized. The estimates of fair values are determined utilizing customary valuation procedures and techniques, which require us, among other things, to estimate future cash flows and discount rates. Such analyses involve significant judgments and estimations.
The Company follows the guidance prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that its carrying amount may not exceed its fair value.
The annual impairment review is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year based upon information and estimates available at that time. To perform the impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the Company’s reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amounts as a basis for determining whether or not to perform the quantitative impairment test. Qualitative testing includes the evaluation of economic conditions, financial performance, and other factors such as key events when they occur. The Company then estimates the fair value of each reporting unit and each indefinite-lived intangible asset not meeting the qualitative criteria and compares their fair values to their carrying values.
As all the subsidiaries were acquired in 2022, hence company would start impairment process from the next year 2023 in accordance with the guidance prescribed in ASC 350. The Company would assess at year-end whether there has been an impairment in the value of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
If future operating performance at one or more of the Company’s reporting units were to fall significantly below forecasted levels, the Company could be required to reflect, under current applicable accounting rules, a non-cash charge to operating income for an impairment. Any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of goodwill, or identifiable intangible assets would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and net worth.
On April 1, 2024, the Agreement with Quality International was canceled by the Board of Directors of Quality Industrial Corp. QIND restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2022, which were previously reported on the Original Filing and subsequent amendments.

NOTE 12: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Aside from the below, we are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation if determined adversely to us.
We have been named as a defendant in an action commenced by our former CEO, Larson Elmore. A case has been filed in the Eight Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada (Case No. A-22-858343-C). Plaintiff alleges that we breached a stock purchase agreement dated May 10, 2020, and promissory notes and is therefore entitled to damages. On May 28, 2024, Lee Larson Elmore (Elmore), Ilustrato Pictures International, Inc. (“ILUS”) Nicholas Link (Link), and FB Technologies Global Inc. (collectively the parties) have agreed to resolve all claims existing between themselves. In exchange for the satisfaction of the disputed promissory note (note) and release of all claims between these parties, ILUS shall:

We cannot predict whether the action against Steve Nicol and Black Ice Advisors is likely to result in any material recovery or expense to our company. Where it is reasonably possible to do so, the Company accrues estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these matters. These estimates are based on an analysis of potential results and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future operating results for any particular quarter or annual period could be affected by changes in assumption.
NOTE 13: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Currently, the Company has incurred operating losses, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company also had a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management also believes the Company needs to raise additional capital for working capital purpose. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. recorded all revenue generated from selected customers on a credit basis. At the end of the year, accounts receivable for the previous year and the current year have not been collected.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include but are not limited to changes in economic conditions, incorporating acquisitions, changes in the supply chain for raw materials, effects of Covid and wars, including the Ukraine war, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
General
The following is a discussion by management of its view of the Company’s business, financial condition, and corporate performance for the past year. The purpose of this information is to give management’s recap of the past year, and to give an understanding of management’s current outlook for the near future. This section is meant to be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
ILUS is a Nevada-based corporation that primarily focuses on serving the public safety, industrial, and renewable energy sectors. The company aims to provide advanced technology solutions through its wholly owned subsidiary Emergency Response Technologies (ERT). ERT’s technology aims to protect communities, assets, and frontline personnel by acquiring the latest technology and solutions for the emergency response industry. This industry includes emergency medical services, fire and rescue services, law enforcement, and emergency management. The company also has a subsidiary named Quality Industrial Corp. which focuses on acquiring and growing process manufacturing and industrial companies.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
The primary factors affecting our results of operations include:
General Macro Economic Conditions
Our business is impacted by the global economic environment, employment levels, consumer confidence, government, and municipal spending. Global instability in securities markets and the war in Ukraine are among other factors that can impact our financial performance. In particular, changes in the U.S. economic climate can impact the demand for our product range. In addition, the impact of taxes and fees can have a dramatic effect on the availability, lead times and costs associated with raw materials and parts for our product range.
2
Our purchases are discretionary by nature and therefore sensitive to the availability of financing, consumer confidence, and unemployment levels among other factors and are affected by general U.S. and global economic conditions, which create risks that future economic downturns will further reduce consumer demand and negatively impact our sales.
While less economically sensitive than the Emergency Response sector, the Industrial and Manufacturing sectors are also impacted by the overall economic environment. Tenders can be withdrawn and lead times for the manufacturing can be affected which can result in cancellation of orders if not delivered on time.
Impact of Acquisitions
Historically, a significant component of our growth has been through the acquisition of businesses in our targeted sectors. We typically incur upfront costs as we incorporate and integrate acquired businesses into our operating philosophy and operational excellence. This includes the consolidation of supplies and raw materials, optimized logistics and production processes, and other restructuring and improvement initiatives. The benefits of these integration efforts may not positively impact our financial results in the short term but have historically positively impacted medium to long-term results.
We recognize acquired assets and liabilities at fair value. This includes the recognition of identified intangible assets and goodwill. In addition, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed generally include tangible assets, as well as contingent assets and liabilities.
Recent Developments
On March 27, 2024, the company’s subsidiary QIND, entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Al Shola Al Modea Gas Distribution LLC (“ASG” or “Al Shola Gas”) to acquire a 51% interest in ASG. The Closing of the transaction took place when both parties signed the definitive Share Purchase Agreement. Al Shola Gas is an Engineering and Distribution Company in the LPG Industry in the United Arab Emirates and was established in 1980. The company is one of the region’s leading suppliers and contractors of LPG centralized pipeline systems and is approved by The General Directorate of Civil Defense, Government of Dubai, as a Central Gas Contractor and LPG Supplier. Al Shola Gas has been consolidated into the financials for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
On April 1, 2024, after several failed effort negotiations to restructure the deal and obtain information from the selling shareholders of Quality International, the Purchase Agreement with Quality International was terminated by Quality International and subsequently, the Board of Directors of QIND and ILUS approved the cancellation of the agreement with Quality International Co Ltd FZC signed on January 18, 2023, and amended on July 27, 2023. The company is in the process of unwinding the transaction, with management aiming to recover the investment or parts of it. However, if recovery proves unattainable, the investment may need to be written off in the future.
Planned Developments
ILUS has recently re-evaluated its business strategy and decided to divest its Defense Division to expedite growth in its Emergency Response and Industrial & Manufacturing Divisions. This strategic move is aimed at optimizing the company’s resources and focusing its efforts on areas that are expected to yield higher returns and have a more significant impact on its overall performance. By streamlining its operations and aligning its core competencies with the evolving market demands, ILUS aims to enhance its market position and deliver enhanced value to its stakeholders.
ILUS is taking strategic steps to expand its portfolio and manufacturing capabilities. By mid-2024, the company plans to acquire additional Emergency Response and Industrial companies. To support its expansion, the company plans to hire additional personnel in finance and legal as well as appoint strategic advisors with extensive experience in the Emergency Response, Industrial, and Manufacturing sectors.
Our top priorities include consolidating our recent acquisitions, increasing production of emergency response products in the US, and completing the Reverse Mergers of SAML and QIND with National Exchange-listed companies in the first half of 2024. Furthermore, we intend to issue an equity dividend in the form of SAML shares to ILUS shareholders following our sale of Emergency Response Technologies assets to SAML.

Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024, and 2023
Revenues
We earned $4,185,987 in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with a revenue of $1,652,161 in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We had other non-operating expenses of $425,664 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared $425,974 in other expenses for the same period ended 2023. The expenses were mainly the result of Depreciation on Fixed assets and Interest on Convertible notes.

Net Income/Net Loss
We incurred Net loss of $1,951,939 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $1,200,585 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to continue to generate sufficient revenues and raise capital within one year from the date of filing.
Over the next twelve months, management plans to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available.
Impact of Acquisitions
Historically a significant component of our growth has been through the acquisition of businesses in our targeted sectors. We typically incur upfront costs as we incorporate and integrate acquired businesses into our operating philosophy and operational excellence. This includes consolidation of supplies and raw materials, optimized logistics and production processes, and other restructuring and improvements initiatives. The benefits of these integration efforts and upcoming planned acquisitions may not positively impact our financial results in the short term but has historically been the case in the medium to long term.

Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of inherently uncertain matters. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in the Notes of our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Goodwill
The Company continues to review its goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. On March 31, 2024, we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation. We performed a qualitative assessment of factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company has concluded that no impairment loss was warranted on March 31, 2024. Factors including non-renewal of a major contract or other substantial changes in business conditions could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of goodwill in future periods and the resulting charge could be material to the future periods’ results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 also clarifies that an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, for both interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
