Accounting Policies [Abstract]

General

General

Arax Holdings Corp. (“the Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on February 23, 2012.

The Company currently has operations from a growing business in the software development and integration marketplace.

Management intends to explore and identify business opportunities within North America, Europe, Asia and Africa including a potential acquisition of an operating entity through a reverse merger, asset purchase or similar transaction. Our executives have experience in business consulting, although no assurances can be given that they can identify and implement a viable business strategy or that any such strategy will result in profits. Our ability to effectively identify, develop and implement a viable plan for our business may be hindered by risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control, including without limitation, the continued negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. and global economies.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures contained in these condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2023, filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of July 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. The balance sheet as of October 31, 2023 (as restated), is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending October 31, 2024.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arax Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Core Business Holdings and Cilandro SA. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Included in these estimates are assumptions used to estimate collection of accounts receivable, fair value of intangible assets, fair value of capitalized software, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

Cash

Cash

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances as of July 31, 2024. The Company had no cash equivalents as of July 31, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. We generate revenue from the following activities:

The Company provides a range of services through various formats, including subscription-based access to browser-based software platforms. These platforms facilitate interactions between customers, enterprise clients, and other entities, utilizing blockchain technology for secure and transparent transactions.

● Service Offerings: Include software subscriptions that require secure access, enabling user interactions via blockchain networks

● Use Cases: The Company develops tailored solutions, known as Use Cases, which can incorporate both physical inventory and software components. These are customized for each client

● Cost Sharing: In some instances, the Company co-invests in the initial setup infrastructure costs with government or enterprise partners

● Revenue Model: Primarily, revenue is derived from subscription fees and transaction fees associated with blockchain interactions, rather than from the initial infrastructure investments

Contract Assets

Contract Assets

The Company does not have any contract assets. All trade receivables on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet are from contracts with customers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of employee costs, third party staffing costs and other fees, outsourced recruiter fees, and commissions. There have been no costs of revenue for the periods presented.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

On November 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make the required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers.

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Any required allowance is based on specific analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments have been received from customers. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. We have recorded no allowance for doubtful as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized over an asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method beginning on the date an asset is placed in service. The Company regularly evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 was $151 and $0, respectively and was $453 and $0 for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Vendors

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Vendors

As of July 31, 2024, and October 31, 2023 one customer accounted for all of the accounts receivable balance.

Research and Development

Research and Development

The Company expenses internal and external research and development costs, including costs of funded research and development arrangements, in the period incurred. The Company has no material research and development costs during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses all advertising and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were not material for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses the fair value of assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a hierarchical framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure.

ASC 825 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets to which we have access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s investment in available for sale securities and warrant derivative liabilities are measured at fair value. The securities are measured based on current trading prices using Level 1 fair value inputs. The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using Level 3 fair value inputs. In fair valuing these instruments, the income valuation approach is applied, and the valuation inputs include the contingent payment arrangement terms, projected revenues and cash flows, rate of return, and probability assessments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable represent fair value based upon their short-term nature.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The tables below summarize the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities as of July 31, 2023.

For the Company’s derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for each category therein, and gains or losses recognized during the nine months ended July 31, 2023:

Ending balance, October 31, 2022	$	—
Initial recognition of derivative liability:		1,047,879
Re-measurement adjustments:
Change in fair value of derivative liability		(1,047,879	)
Ending balance, July 31, 2023	$	—

The fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	July 31, 2023
Stock Price on Valuation Date	$	0.70
Risk-Free Rate		5.53	%
Volatility		307.56	%
Term		2.5 yrs
Conversion price	$	0.2

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the screen test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.

Acquisitions meeting the definition of business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the net assets acquired at their respective fair values. In a business combination, any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

The Company has intangible assets with indefinite useful lives obtained as a result of assets acquisitions from Cilandro SA (see Note 6) in the second quarter of 2023, which includes financial license in aggregate amount of $268,000.

The Company does not amortize its intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, rather such assets are tested for impairment are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company estimates the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. If the carrying amount is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the asset’s fair value. An impairment loss is recognized immediately as an operating expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Reversal of previously recorded impairment losses are prohibited.

Software Development Costs

Software Development Costs

The costs incurred for the development of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, when technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility generally occurs when all planning, design, coding, and testing activities are completed that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. The establishment of technological feasibility is an ongoing assessment of judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in technology. Capitalized software includes direct and contracted labor and related expenses for software development for new products and enhancements to existing products and acquired software.

The Company does not amortize its software development costs with indefinite useful lives, rather such assets are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in software technologies at each balance sheet date. In the event of impairment, unamortized capitalized software costs are compared to the net realizable value of the related product and the carrying value of the related assets are written down to the net realizable value to the extent the unamortized capitalized costs exceed such value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from the related product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of such product, including the costs of providing related maintenance and customer support.

Related Party Transactions

Related Party Transactions

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution to the related party.

The Company considers all officers, directors, senior management personnel, and senior level consultants to be related parties to the Company.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We utilize ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties, if any, related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the shorter of the service period or the vesting period of the stock-based compensation. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative Liabilities

The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of October 31, 2023, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described. There was no derivative liability as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023.

Convertible Instruments

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with various accounting standards.

ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” provides that instruments convertible predominantly at a fixed rate resulting in a fixed monetary amount due upon conversion with a variable quantity of shares (“stock settled debt”) be recorded as a liability at the fixed monetary amount.

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

ASC 815-40 provides that generally if an event is not within the entity’s control and could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

Leases

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment will be based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a term of 12 months or less. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 the Company did not have leases that qualified as right of use assets.

Loss per Share

Loss per Share

The Company follows ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (or loss) per share. Basic earnings (or loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (or loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (or loss) per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (or loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents in amounts of 1,042,211 and 1,000,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

	July 31, 2024		July 31, 2023
Convertible notes	$	42,211	$	—
Convertible preferred stock		1,000,000		1,000,000
Total	$	1,042,211	$	1,000,000

Business Segments

Business Segments

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it has one operating segment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It will apply to trade receivables, loans, and held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. This may result in earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which delays this standard’s effective date for SEC smaller reporting companies to the fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2022. The Company determined that this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption on November 1, 2023.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Entities will be required to disclose additional information in specified categories in the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The standard also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold and eliminates certain existing disclosures. In addition to new disclosures associated with the rate reconciliation, the standard requires information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. The standard will be effective for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of the standard, and it does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on its financial statements, other than the required changes to the income tax disclosures
