Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Preparation

Basis of Preparation

 

The consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements presented are for the entity Rainmaker and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) as a consolidated entity until March 31, 2023, the point at which 60% of the subsidiary was acquired by a related party. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

 

The preparation of the consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

All accounting policies are chosen to ensure the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability.

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary located outside of the United States is measured in its functional currency: Until March 31, 2023, Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) reported in Canadian dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using average annual exchange rates. Non-monetary assets are translated at their historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

 

No Intangible Assets.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and any costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

 

Depreciation is provided at rates estimated to write off the cost of the relevant assets less their estimated residual values by equal annual amounts over their expected useful lives. Residual values and expected useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Depreciation periods for the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:

 

Leasehold Improvements – lesser of 10 years or lease duration Manufacturing Equipment – 5 years
Office Furniture & Equipment – 5 years Demonstration Equipment – 10 years
Intellectual Property – 14 years Computer Software – 5 years

 

Embedded Conversion Features

Embedded Conversion Features

 

Until December 31, 2021, the Company evaluated embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature did not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument was evaluated under ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any beneficial conversion features. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method and reviewed and calculated the impact on the outstanding financial instruments as of this adoption date concluding there was no impact.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.

 

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Demonstration Equipment

Demonstration Equipment

 

Demonstration equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and any costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

 

Depreciation for the demonstration equipment is at a rate estimated to write off the cost of the equipment less its estimated residual value by an equal annual amount over its expected useful life. The residual value and expected useful life of the demonstration equipment is reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update (‘ASU”), 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method, and the Company determined the new guidance does not change the Company’s policy of revenue recognition.

 

The Company generates its revenue through the direct sales of water production and purification systems. A contract with a customer is established once an agreement is signed and the initial down payment is received. Each transaction price is established in the signed contract. Unearned revenue is recognized upon receipt of the down payment for the system. The revenue is recognized once title of the system transfers to the customer. The nature of the business of equipment sales implies there is only one performance obligation, which is delivery of the end product to the customer. Our contracts outline each party’s rights and obligations including the terms and timing of payments. Another source of revenue is in exchange for operating, maintenance and professional services to these joint ventures. That revenue is recognized in the period it is earned.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the revenue recognition and measurement issues for grants, contracts, and similar arrangements, ASU Topic 958. Government grants and contracts are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from grants and contracts in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the conditions under which the grants and contracts were provided have been met and only perfunctory performance obligations are outstanding.

 

Revenues recognized at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 are $78,912 and nil, respectively.

 

Related Party Transactions

Related Party Transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to directly or indirectly control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount.

 

 

Share-based Payment Expense

Share-based Payment Expense

 

The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock awards granted to employees, directors, officers, and consultants. Share-based awards to employees are measured at the fair value of the related share-based awards. Share-based payments to others are valued based on the related services rendered or goods received or if this cannot be reliably measured, on the fair value of the instruments issued. Issuances of shares are valued using the fair value of the shares at the time of grant; issuances of options are valued using the Black-Scholes model with assumptions based on historical experience and future expectations.

 

Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments

Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments

 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for as debt or equity according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.

 

Marketing, Advertising and Promotional Costs

Marketing, Advertising and Promotional Costs

 

As required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States, the Company records marketing costs as an expense in the year to which such costs relate. The Company does not defer amounts on its year-end consolidated balance sheets with respect to marketing costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 expenses during the year. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

 

Loss per Share

Loss per Share

 

The Company reports loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the year. The Company has options, debentures and other potentially dilutive instruments extending to the latest date of July 1, 2027.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, 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. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

 

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

 

Income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted by the date of the statement of financial position.

 

Equity-Settled Transactions

Equity-Settled Transactions

 

The costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted.

 

The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“the vesting date”). The cumulative expense is recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in share-based compensation reserve.

 

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

 

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

 

Inventory

Inventory

 

Inventory and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The production cost of inventory includes an appropriate proportion of depreciation and production overheads based on the ratio of indirect vs. direct costs. Cost is determined on the following bases: Raw materials and consumables are valued at cost on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis; finished products are valued at raw material cost, labor cost and a proportion of manufacturing overhead expenses.

 

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy prioritizing 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 unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

 

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

 

Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of Level 3 as of the date of the event or change in the circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no such transfers during the periods being reported.

 

 

Customer Concentration

Customer Concentration

 

Due to the infancy of the Company’s market penetration, current sales are concentrated on a limited number of customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. Cash balances are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) up to CAD100,000 per commercial bank. From time to time, cash in deposit accounts may exceed the insurance limits thus the excess would be at risk of loss. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Customer Deposits

Customer Deposits

 

The typical arrangement for customer deposits for purchases of Company products is 50% down at the time of ordering. The Company records the deposit as a current liability reflecting the obligation to provide the goods or services to the customer or to return the money. When the Company earns the deposit amount, the current liability will be debited, and sales revenues will be credited.
