PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Amanasu Environment Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 22, 1999 under the name of Forte International Inc. On March 27, 2001, the Company’s name was changed to Amanasu Energy Corporation, and on November 13, 2002, its name was changed to Amanasu Environment Corporation.

 

The Company is a development stage company and has not conducted any operations or generated any revenue since its inception.

 

General

 

Amanasu Environment Corporation’s (herein after the “Company”) principal business is in the development of environmental technologies to improve the quality of life for the future of the planet. The Company is involved in all aspects of environmental technology development: research and development, marketing and sales. It also produces and acquires environmental technology and related patents. Environmental technologies that the Company has been a part of range from water filtration systems, industrial/medical waste incinerators, solar panels, to name a few. The Company chose to have its headquarters in the United States in order to bridge environmental technology development internationally, with particular attention to leading innovations in Japan. The Company’s parent company Amanasu Corporation is a Japanese Corporation. The Company hopes to utilize existing associations and partnerships in order to bring environmental technologies from the United States and market them in Japan and other surrounding countries.

 

Current

 

During recent years, the Company has embarked on a mission to achieve a capital-raising goal of $30,000,000 to increase the Company’s potential by entering into the NASDAQ global market. The Company’s main objective has not changed for the coming fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

 

Aside from capital raising efforts, the Company has been supporting Amanasu Maritek Corporation, in the development and required regulatory approval for the Commercial Cargo Ship Ballast Water Purification System. The Company and Amanasu Maritek Corporation have been working through the approval process of this type of product with the Japanese regulatory bodies. Also, required documentation, and translations have been prepared for additional approval by the main global governing body for marine technologies, IMO the International Marine Organization. So far, the Company has been unable to obtain approval for the Commercial Cargo Ship Ballast Water Purification System. In adhering to the guidelines set by the IMO and the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Company needs to collaborate with a shipbuilding company to conduct experiments and tests, requiring 2-3 years and a minimum budget of $10,000,000. Due to a lack of resources, the Company is currently seeking partners who are interested in developing such businesses and technologies acquired by Amanasu Maritek Corporation, the Company’s subsidiary. Furthermore, the Company is making plans to enter the reforestation industry in Japan, through Amanasu Maritek Corporation. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, approximately 1 million houses need to be rebuilt, causing wood to be in high demand. Also, the Japanese Government currently subsidizes new firms entering the reforestation industry, giving the Company an opportunity to enter an industry that is reflective of its vision.

 

Overview and History

 

The Company has acquired the exclusive, worldwide license rights to a high temperature furnace, a hot water boiler, and ring-tube desalination methodology. At this time, the Company is not engaged in the commercial sale of any of its licensed technologies. Its operations to date have been limited to acquiring the technologies, conducting limited product marketing, and testing the technologies for commercial sale. For each such technology, proto-type or demonstrational units have been constructed by each licensor or inventor of the technology. The Company has conducted various internal tests on these units to determine the commercial viability of the underlying technologies. As a result of such testing, the Company believes that the products are not commercially ready for sale, and that product refinements are necessary with respect to each of the technologies. In addition, the Company may seek joint venture or other affiliations with companies competitive in each respective product market whereby the Company can capitalize on the existing infrastructure of such other companies, such as product design and engineering, marketing and sales, and warranty and post-warranty service and repair. The Company believes that its marketing efforts to sell any of its products will be limited until such time as it can complete the refinements of its technologies. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful in developing commercial products or establishing affiliations with any operating company.

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (continued)

 

On June 8, 2000, the Company obtained the exclusive, worldwide license to a technology that disposes of toxic and hazardous wastes through a proprietary, high temperature combustion system, known as the Amanasu Furnace. The rights were obtained pursuant to a license agreement with Masaichi Kikuchi, the inventor of the technology, for a period of 30 years. The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the inventor and 200,000 shares of common stock to a director of the inventor’s company. Under the licensing agreement, the Company is required to pay the licensor a royalty of two percent of the gross receipts from the sale of products using the technology. If the Company fails to comply with any provision of the agreement after a 90-day notice period, the licensor may terminate the agreement.

 

Effective September 30, 2002, the Company obtained the exclusive, worldwide license to a hot water boiler technology that incinerates waste tires in a safe and non-polluting manner and extracts heat energy from the incineration process. The rights were obtained pursuant to a license agreement with Sanyo Kogyo Kabushiki Gaisha and Ever Green Planet Corporation, both Japanese companies, for a period of 30 years. As consideration for this acquisition, the Company paid the licensors $250,000, of which the Company’s President paid $95,000, issued to them 600,000 shares of common stock, and issued to an affiliate of the licensors 50,000 shares of common stock. The licensors are entitled to receive a two percent royalty on the gross receipts from the sale of the products related to the technology. If the Company fails to comply with any provision of the agreement after a 90-day notice period, the licensor may terminate the agreement.

 

On June 30, 2003, the Company acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to produce and market a patented technology that purifies seawater, and removes hazardous pollutants from wastewater. The rights were obtained pursuant to a license agreement with Etsuro Sakagami, the inventor, for a period of 30 years. As consideration for obtaining the license, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares to the inventor, and 50,000 shares to a finder. The licensor is entitled to receive a two percent royalty on the gross receipts from the sale of the products related to the technology. If the Company fails to comply with any provision of the agreement after a 90-day notice period, the licensor may terminate the agreement.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has no full-time employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Developmental Stage Company

 

The Company was incorporated on February 22, 1999 and remains in the development stage. As a development stage enterprise, the Company may be subject to the many pitfalls commonly associated with development stage enterprises, such as testing and proving technologies. These risks are in addition to normal business risks. The Company’s ability to emerge from the development stage with respect to its planned principal business activity is dependent upon a number of factors, including product development of existing technologies and successfully raising additional financing to meet its working capital needs.

 

Need For Additional Capital

 

The Company will require additional capital to meet its ongoing operating requirements. The Company intends to raise the capital through a private or public financing of debt or equity. Presently, the Company has no commitment for any such funding, however, is negotiating with potential partners to acquire funding. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful in obtaining such financing on terms acceptable to the Company or on any terms. The inability to obtain such financing will have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to develop and commercial sell the products.

 

Ability to Develop Commercial Product

 

The Company presently maintains rights to three different technologies. At this time, proto-type versions of products for each of the three technologies have been developed, however, none of the products are commercially ready for sale. In order to reach a stage of commercial sales for the products, the Company prefers to put emphasis on joint venturing and funding a company who has advanced technological knowledge and progressed sales history of the same field for the purpose of cooperation. The Company cannot predict that it will be successful in developing commercially ready products for any of the technologies in the near future or at any time.

 

Rapid Technological Changes

 

The industries in which the Company intends to compete with are subject to rapid technological changes. No assurances can be given that the technological advantages which may be enjoyed by the Company in respect of their technologies cannot or will not be overcome by technological advances in the respective industries rendering the Company’s technologies obsolete or non-competitive.

 

Lack of Indications of Product Acceptability

 

The success of the Company will be dependent upon its ability to develop commercially acceptable products and to sell such products in quantities sufficient to yield profitable results. To date, the Company has received no indications of the commercial acceptability of any of its proposed products. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict whether its products can be marketed and sold in a commercial manner.

 

Management

 

The ability of the Company to successfully conduct its business affairs will be dependent upon the capabilities and business acumen of current management including Mr. Atsushi Maki, the Company’s President. Accordingly, shareholders must be willing to entrust all aspects of the business affairs of the Company to its current management. Further, the loss of any one of the Company’s management team could have a material adverse impact on its continued operation.

 

Control Exercised by Management

 

The existing officers and directors, control approximately 81.3% of the shareholder votes. Consequently, management will control the vote on all matters brought before shareholders, and holders of common stock may have no power in corporate decisions usually brought before shareholders.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

The officers of the Company are not full-time employees. Presently, the Company does not have a formal conflicts of interest policy governing its officers and directors. In addition, the Company does not have written employment agreements with its officers. Its officers intend to devote sufficient business time and attention to the affairs of the Company to develop the Company’s business in a prudent and business-like manner. However, the principal officer is engaged in other businesses related and unrelated to the business of the Company, and in the future, will engage in other business ventures. As a result, the principal officer and other officer of the Company may have a conflict of interest in allocating their respective time, services, and future resources, and in exercising independent business judgment with respect to their other businesses and that of the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (continued)

 

Reliance upon Third Parties

 

The Company does not intend on maintaining a significant technical staff nor does it intend on manufacturing its products. Rather it will rely heavily on consultants, contractors, and manufacturers to design, develop and manufacture its products. Accordingly, there is no assurance that such third parties will be available when needed at affordable prices.

 

Competition

 

Although management believes its products, if developed, will have significant competitive advantages to other products in their respective industries, with respect to such products, the Company will be competing in industries, such as the industrial waste industry, where enormous competition exists. Competitors in these industries have greater financial, engineering and other resources than the Company. No assurances can be given that any advances or developments made by such companies will not supersede the competitive advantages of the Company’s products.

 

Protection of Intellectual Property

 

The success of the Company will be dependent, in part, upon the protection of its various proprietary technologies from competitive use. Certain of its technologies are the subject of various patents in varying jurisdictions. In addition to the patent applications, the Company relies on a combination of trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to protect its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, these measures may be inadequate to safeguard the Company’s underlying technologies. If these measures do not protect the intellectual property rights, third parties could use the Company’s technologies, and its ability to compete in the market would be reduced significantly. In addition, if the sale of the Company’s product extends to foreign countries, the Company may not be able to effectively protect its intellectual property rights in such foreign countries.

 

In the future, the Company may be required to protect or enforce its patents and patent rights through patent litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits or interference proceedings. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time, and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns. These actions could put the Company’s patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and any patent applications at risk of not issuing. In defense of any such action, these third parties may assert claims against the Company. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will have sufficient funds to vigorously prosecute any patent litigation, that it will prevail in any of these suits, or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, will be commercially valuable. During the course of these suits, there may be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions and other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation, which could result in the negative perception by investors, which could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline dramatically.

 

Indemnification of Officers and Directors for Securities Liabilities

 

The Company’s By-Laws eliminates personal liability in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS). Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides that a corporation may eliminate personal liability of an officer or director to the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or director provided that such indemnification is limited if such party acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation. In so far as indemnification for liability arising from the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company, it has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The Company’s common stock may be deemed a “penny stock” under federal securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a “penny stock” generally to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These regulations impose additional sales practice requirements on any broker/dealer who sell such securities to other than established investors and accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker/dealer must make certain suitability determinations and must receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to purchase. Additionally, any transaction may require the delivery prior to sale of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission. Disclosure also is required to be made of commissions payable to the broker/dealer and the registered representative, as well as current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account of the customers and information on the limited market in penny stocks. These requirements generally are considered restrictive to the purchase of such stocks, and may limit the market liquidity for such securities.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (continued)

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $789,685 and an accumulated deficit of $5,618,228 at December 31, 2021, and a record of continuing losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s present plans, the realization of which cannot be assured, to overcome these difficulties include, but are not limited to, a continuing effort to investigate business acquisitions and joint ventures. The Company will also continue to investigate and develop technologies, which the Company believes have great market potential. As such, the Company may need to pursue additional sources of financing or will need to rely on loans from stockholders and officers to support the operations. There can be no assurances that the Company can secure additional financing.

 

There is a risk associated with COVID-19

 

The Company’s operations may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in March 2020 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s ability to obtain funding and performing further research on certain projects.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

None.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

The Company’s executive offices are located at 244 Fifth Avenue 2nd Floor New York, NY 10001, and Vancouver, British Columbia. The total premises in Vancouver are 2,000 square feet and are leased at a monthly rate of $2,500 under a lease agreement between the Company and the Secretary of the Company’s Board of Directors, who is also a stockholder of the Company, which expires October 1, 2023. The Company shares the space with Amanasu Techno Holdings Corporation (“ATH”), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our major shareholder and officer own approximately 86% of ATH’s outstanding shares of common stock. ATH is responsible for 50% of the rent. The office in New York is rented at the rate of $360 each year and shares with ATH. In addition, the Company maintains an office at Suite 905, 1-6-1 Senzoku Taito-Ku Tokyo Japan, and no rent is paid by the Company.

When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including those set forth in the Risk Factors on page 6. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except, as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Please note the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements the Company had a working capital deficiency of $789,685 as well as an accumulated deficit of $5,618,228 at December 31, 2021. These factors, among other things discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

 

General

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition is intended to assist the reader in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial position of the Company together with its subsidiary. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying financial notes, and with the Critical Accounting Policies noted below.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company has three main objectives during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Firstly, the Company will continue in its goal to meet the capital objective of $30,000,000. Currently the company is exploring various potential investment partners in Japan, as well as China. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful with its objective.

 

Second the Company will continue to support Amanasu Maritek Corporation’s efforts on entering into marine technologies. The Company will continue to assist in the design, and approval process for the product from at least two regulatory bodies: the Japanese Government, and the IMO (International Marine Organization). This approval process requires capital for additional product testing, documentation, and documentation translations. The Company believes that Amanasu Maritek Corporation’s most significant hurdle will be in capital raising. The Company has already initiated documentation and application processes and is now looking for capital to fund the project. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful with its capital raising efforts.

 

Third, the Company is making plans to enter the reforestation industry in Japan, through Amanasu Maritek Corporation. The Company must first reach an agreement with the relevant government agencies in Japan. The Company intends to focus on the prefectures of Miyagi, Iwate and Niigata and begin operations within two years. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful with its objective.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Results of Operations

 

There were no revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $3,970 (6.3%) to $58,842 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $62,812 for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of lower travel and supply expenses.

 

Interest expense increased $149 (0.7%) to $20,151 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $20,002 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of the increase in loans from stockholders and officers.

 

As a result of the above, the Company incurred net losses of $78,993 and $82,814, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Total current assets at December 31, 2021 was $37 compared to $47 at December 31, 2020.

 

Total current liabilities as of December 31, 2021 were $789,722 compared to $708,890 at December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to increases in accrued expenses – related parties, loans from stockholders and officers, operating lease liabilities – current, accrued interest and amounts due to affiliate.

 

The Company’s minimum cash requirements for the next twelve months are estimated to be $60,250, including rent, audit and professional fees. The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to support its overhead for the next twelve months and there are no material commitments for capital at this time other than as described above. The Company will need to acquire debt or issue and sell shares to gain capital for operations or arrange for additional shareholder or related party loans. There is no current commitment for either of these fund sources.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $10. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:

 

Cash used in operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used $33,823 in cash for operating activities as compared to $39,541 in cash for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease in cash used for operating activities is primarily as a result of the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $33,813 as compared to $39,377 for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of the change in amounts due to affiliate offset partially by proceeds from loans from stockholders and officers.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This was adopted on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

 

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Amanasu Environment Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Amanasu Environment Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficit of $789,685, and accumulated deficit of $5,618,228 at December 31, 2021, and a record of continuing losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters for current period.

AMANASU ENVIRONMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Amanasu Environment Corporation (the “Company”) is a Nevada Corporation, formed on February 22, 1999. The Company’s principal business, through its wholly owned subsidiary in Japan, is to complete the development of environmental technologies to improve the quality of life for the future of the planet. The Company is involved in all aspects of environmental technology development, research and development, marketing and sales. It also produces and acquires environmental technology and related patents. At this time, the Company is not engaged in the commercial sale of any of its licensed technologies. Its operations to date have been limited to acquiring the technologies, conducting limited product marketing, and testing the technologies for commercial sales.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $789,685 and an accumulated deficit of $5,618,228 at December 31, 2021, and a record of continuing losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company’s present plans, the realization of which cannot be assured, to overcome these difficulties include, but are not limited to, a continuing effort to investigate business acquisitions and joint ventures. The Company will also continue to investigate and develop technologies, which the Company believes have great market potential. As such, the Company may need to pursue additional sources of financing or will need to rely on loans from stockholders and officers to support the operations. There can be no assurances that the Company can secure additional financing.

 

The Company’s operations may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which in March 2020 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organiztion. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain, however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s ability to obtain funding and performing further research on certain projects.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Non-controlling Interest:

 

Non-controlling interest represents third party ownership in the net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated with those of our own, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company performs a review for potential impairment of long-lived assets whenever an event or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s subsidiary is located in Japan and use the currency of Japan (Yen) as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are at the rate of exchange in effect at balance sheet dates. 115.08 Japanese Yen to $1.00 USD at December 31, 2021 and 103.25 Japanese Yen to $1.00 USD at December 31, 2020. Equity accounts are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions that established the equity accounts; and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. There were no revenues or expenses related to the operations in Japan for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency transactions are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

Accounting for Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Tax,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and 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. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines the fair value as used in numerous pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash, accrued expenses and loans from stockholders and officers are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates fair values because of the short-term maturing of these instruments. We have no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). Under these pronouncements, basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders for each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net income (loss) per share are presented for basic and diluted per share calculations for all periods reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This was adopted on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

 

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

No terms of payment have been established and, as a result, the amount is classified as a current liability. The amounts bear interest of 4.45% annually.

The Company’s executive offices are located at 244 Fifth Avenue 2nd Floor New York, NY 10001 and Vancouver, British Columbia. The total premises in Vancouver are 2,000 square feet and are leased from a stockholder at a monthly rate of $2,500 under a lease agreement which expired October 1, 2023.

5. OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY

 

The Company’s executive offices are located at 244 Fifth Avenue 2nd Floor New York, NY 10001 and Vancouver, British Columbia. The total premises in Vancouver are 2,000 square feet and are leased at a monthly rate of $2,500 under a lease agreement between the Company and the Secretary of the Company’s Board of Directors, who is also the stockholder of the Company, which expires October 1, 2023.

In addition, the Company maintains an office at Suite 905, 1-6-1 Senzoku Taito-Ku Tokyo Japan, and the Company pays no rent.

 

The Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The Company used incremental borrowing rate of 5% for calculation of operating lease liabilities.

 

On October 1, 2019, the Company commenced a lease with a stockholder from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2021 with a monthly payment of approximately $1,250. As such, the Company recorded $28,492 of right-of-use assets and related operating lease liabilities on October 1, 2019. This asset was fully amortized as of September 30, 2021.

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company commenced a new lease with the same stockholder from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 with a monthly payment of approximately $1,250. As such, the Company recorded $28,492 of right-of-use assets and related operating leases liabilities on October 1, 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company amortized $14,427 and $14,065 of right-of-use assets, respectively.

6. INCOME TAXES

 

In accordance with the current tax law in the U.S., the Company is subject to a corporate tax rate of 21% on its taxable income. No provision for taxes is made for U.S. income tax for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 as it had no taxable income. The Company can carry forward net operating losses ("NOL") to be applied against future profits for a period of twenty years in the U.S. and 80% of the NOL can be carried forward for three years in Japan.

 

The Company had NOL carryforwards of approximately $3.66 million in the U.S. at December 31, 2021. Approximately $3.41 million in the U.S. will expire in the years 2022 through 2037, and $0.25 million can be carried forward indefinitely.

 

Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences or benefits to future years of any temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and of net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets relating to the NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The tax returns for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020 are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

The reconciliation of income tax at the U.S. statutory rate of 21% to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the criteria established in a report entitled “Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2021, and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

·

There is a lack of accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of GAAP and the financial reporting requirements of the SEC.

 

 

·

There are insufficient written policies and procedures to insure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

 

·

There is a lack of segregation of duties, in that we only had one person performing all accounting-related duties.

 

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The Company will continue its assessment on a quarterly basis. We plan to hire personnel and resources to address these material weaknesses. We believe these issues can be solved with hiring accounting support and plan to do so as soon as we have funds available for this.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s registered public accounting firm was not required to issue an attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going basis.

 

c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
