Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of ETI, IP Resources International, Inc., Aviva Companies Corporation, and WeHealAnimals, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for a period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company has recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operations and working capital deficits. The Company has raised approximately $ 0.7 million in debt and equity financing for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company is raising additional capital through debt and equity securities in order to continue the funding of its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company can raise enough funds or generate sufficient revenues to pay its obligations as they become due, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets or liabilities as a result of this uncertainty. To reduce the risk of not being able to continue as a going concern, management has implemented its business plan to materialize revenues from potential, future, license agreements, has initiated an equity line of credit offering to raise capital through the sale of its common stock, has engaged a broker/dealer to raise additional capital.

Reverse Split

In October 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1,000-for-1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, which was effected on December 20, 2019. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. Accordingly, all common stock, stock options, warrants and related per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse split for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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 assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical estimates include the value of shares issued for services, in connection with notes payable agreements, in connection with note extension agreements, and as repayment for outstanding debt, the useful lives of property and equipment, the valuation of the derivative liability, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash is deposited with what we believe are highly credited, quality institutions. The deposited cash may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. At December 31, 2020, the Company does not hold any cash in excess of FDIC limits.

Accounts Receivable

The Company uses the specific identification method for recording the provision for doubtful accounts, which was $0 at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range between five and seven years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized. Upon the sale, retirement or disposal of fixed assets, the accounts are relieved of the cost and the related accumulated depreciation with any gain or loss recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company measures equity-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes it as expense, net of forfeitures which are recognized as they occur, over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method.

The Company measured equity-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:

	For Year Ending December 31,
	2020			2019
Expected term		1.38 years			4 years
Exercise price	$	0.15		$	11.60
Expected volatility		231.10	%		349.60	%
Expected dividends		None			None
Risk-free interest rate		0.14	%		2.28	%
Forfeitures		None			None

Income Taxes

The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of its reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and income tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has determined that the adoption did not result in the recognition of any liability for unrecognized tax benefits and that there are no unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period excluding any dilutive effects of options, warrants, unvested share awards and convertible securities. Diluted net loss per common share assumes the conversion of all dilutive securities using the if-converted method and assumes the exercise or vesting of other dilutive securities, such as options, common shares issuable under convertible debt, warrants and restricted stock using the treasury stock method when dilutive.

Research and Development

Costs relating to the development of new products are expensed as research and development as incurred in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 730-10, Research and Development. Research and development costs amounted to $3,283 and $153,126 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system, and defines required disclosures. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts business.

The Company’s balance sheet contains derivative liability that is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value is as follows:

Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative liability is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Sholes option valuation model was used to determine the fair value. The Company records derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.

The following table presents changes in the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

	Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2020 Using
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for		Significant Other Observable		Significant Unobservable
	Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total
Derivative liability	$	-	$	-	$	4,202,597	$	4,202,597
Total	$	-	$	-	$	4,202,597	$	4,202,597

Derivative Liability

The Company issued Variable Debentures during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which contained variable conversion rates based on unknown future prices of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in a derivative liability. The Company measures the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:

	For Year Ending December 31,
	2020	2019
Expected term	1 – 6 months	1 month-1 year
Exercise price	$0.01-$0.76	$0.65-$12.87
Expected volatility	110.04%-248.90%	133.50%-166.00%
Expected dividends	None	None
Risk-free interest rate	0.03%-1.54%	1.51%-2.87%
Forfeitures	None	None

The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.

The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control, and the assessment of volatility. The resulting effect on net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s Variable Debentures, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

Preferred Stock

The Company elects to accrete the difference between the redemption value and carrying value of outstanding preferred stock over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date using the effective interest method.

Recent Accounting Standard Updates

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company has early adopted ASU 2018-07 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. Effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. Any entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company has not yet selected a transition method, nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, 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. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements and determined that there are no other accounting pronouncements that will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
