Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash

Cash

 

Cash includes cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank account in the United States amounted to $ 28,354 at December 31, 2022 and $10,429 at December 31, 2021 and our bank account is protected by FDIC insurance up to $250,000.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by performing the following five steps analysis:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price

Step 5: Recognize revenue

 

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue will be derived from the commercial exploitation of its iTDE Technology. In principal this technology will allow the company to commercialize a system that is incorporated into a specific product: being a component in an extraction plant. It is anticipated that the need to maintain and service each unit defines the best method of commercialization as a tolling agreement, since there is a finite capacity of the system before servicing is required based on throughput. The Company considers any agreement resulting in the testing or deployment of the system (including the granting of exclusivity rights, conditional deployment, “try and see”, and other signed arrangements to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term or preliminary when the time between signed agreements and satisfaction of the performance obligations, (including where initial obligations in the short term may lead to replacement agreements of a defined longer duration) is equal to or less than one year. Typically, the Company expects introductory, testing and other “try and see” arrangements will be short term, however most operational agreements will be long term. The Company recognizes revenue when extraction services are provided or market rights are granted to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or grants of rights. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon delivery of extracted materials, however, in cases where systems are delivered against payment and property is transferred, revenue will be recognized accordingly. Generally, payment is due from customers immediately at the invoice date. The execution of contracts will require the assessment of specific extraction requirements, the design of a system, construction of the units required to implement the system, delivery and installation, start up and verification, and operation expense before revenues may be derived from extraction under a tolling arrangement. Commercial contracts therefore have significant financing components and several variable components and considerations. Potentially there may be returns of units and maintenance and refurbishment is priced into the tolling arrangement. It is anticipated that the tolling arrangements from which the Company will derive revenues shall contain extraction performance minimums that need to be met as well as extraction rates required. These are typically defined by the type of liquid from which extraction services are required and will necessarily dictate the extent and cost of the system to be deployed. These factors should be calculated and defined prior to completing initial tolling agreements. However, since the Company has yet to complete construction and testing of its initial controlled pilot plant system and the technology is ground-new, there exists no historical experience or precedent, nor any comparable system from which estimates of these critical factors can be derived. All costs and the economics of agreements will require to be evaluated and fixed during negotiations with potential customers with Company’s best judgment of all such factors and calculations at the time the estimate is made.

 

Earnings (loss) per Share

Earnings (loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, preferred stock and warrants. The Company uses if-converted method to calculate the dilutive preferred stock and treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding and any such shares would have been excluded from the computation because they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses in these periods.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no uncertain tax positions.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

 

 

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
   
Level 2: inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
   
Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash, prepaid expenses, and other receivable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Evaluation of long-lived intangible assets

Evaluation of long-lived intangible assets

 

The Company acquired its principal intellectual property asset in the second quarter of 2021. The value of the asset was initially derived from the underlying arms’ length transaction in which the company owning the technology transferred the technology to the Company in exchange for a specific number of shares of Common Stock of the Company. The value of the shares was itself derived from that the fact that such shares were bought and sold in an arms’ length transaction that occurred simultaneously. The technology composed initially of patents and patent applications as well as certain knowhow was initially amortized by the Company. However, during the course of 2021, it became clear that the value of the asset was much greater than the individual patents and possible patent applications it being a stem technology (giving rise to many and various applications). For this reason, on September 30, 2021 the asset was reclassified as an intangible asset of indefinite life. The value taken was that of its book value at the third quarter end 2021. Intangible assets of indefinite life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

 

In our analysis of intangible assets (other than goodwill), we apply the guidance of FASB ASC 350-30-35 in determining whether any impairment conditions exist. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023, we performed our annual impairment evaluation required under FASB ASC 350-30-35 and concluded that our intangible asset was not impaired. The estimated fair value of the intellectual property asset certainly exceeded its carrying values as of December 31, 2022.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change. The Company currently does not have any recent accounting pronouncements that they are studying and feel may be applicable.
