AUTHENTIC HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2023

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Authentic Holdings Inc. was incorporated in Nevada in 2005 and had 2.5 billion shares of authorized common stock and 1 million shares of authorized preferred stock. In 2019, the Company acquired assets from A.H. Originals, Inc. through the issuance of common stock and a promissory note.

Management plans to raise additional debt or equity and continue to settle obligations by issuing stock, as well as grow other debt and equity until the Company generates positive cash flow from an operating company. However, the Company's financial statements show an accumulated deficit of $35.5 million as of March 31, 2021, with a net working capital deficit of $3.7 million and limited cash resources. These factors raise doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within the next year.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to repay or settle its current indebtedness, generate positive cash flow, and raise capital through equity and debt financing or other means on favorable terms. If the Company cannot obtain additional funds when required or on favorable terms, management may be necessary to restructure the Company or cease operations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and has adopted a December 31 fiscal year-end. 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trident Merchant Group, Inc. and Progressive Fashions Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Leading Edge Fashion, LLC, Pure361, LLC and ECO CHAIN 360, Inc., which are 51% owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As noted in Note 1, our 51% owned subsidiaries, Pure361, Leading Edge Fashions, LLC, and ECO CHAIN 360, Inc., had no operations, assets, or liabilities as of December 31, 2022, and 2021. Because of this, a non-controlling interest is not reflected in these financial statements. In addition, the Company has consolidated Authentic Heroes, Inc., Inc., of which the Company owns 80%.

The Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effectuate a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Authentic Holdings, Inc. Shareholder approval was optional under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. As part of the merger, the Company's board of directors authorized a change in our name to "Authentic Holdings, Inc." The Company's Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change.

Reclassifications

Specific amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the reported consolidated net loss.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments in money market funds. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.

On March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had no acquired inventories.

Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Costs of replacements and significant improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation expense is provided primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Depreciation expenses amounted to $11,118 and $29,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment under ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, no impairment losses have been identified.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets (including trademarks and website) under ASC 350 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including identifying reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include assessing future cash flows and determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to differ from such estimates materially and affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.

The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology, and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed, and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.

We amortize the cost of our intangible assets over the 15-year estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

The following table sets forth the amortization for the intangible assets on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Amortization expenses amounted to $385 and $307 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Prepaid interest and deposits

Interest and deposits include prepaid consulting fees, OTC market annual fees, and license agreements. Prepaid interest is amortized over the life of the related liability.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its customer contracts following ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenues when satisfying the performance obligation of the associated contract that reflects the consideration expected to be received based on the terms of the contract.

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps:

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are recorded following ASC 310," Receivables." Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company has no amount recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. Based on management's estimate and all charges being current, the Company has not deemed it necessary to reserve for doubtful accounts at this time.

Leases

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), and additional ASUs issued to clarify and update the guidance in ASU 2016-02 (collectively, the "new leases standard"), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing essential information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new lease standard utilizing the modified retrospective transition method, under which amounts in prior periods presented were not restated for contracts existing at the time of adoption. The Company currently does not have any operating lease over one year term to require accessing (i) whether any are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method stipulated by ASC 740 "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, their respective tax bases and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized using a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management's view, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax asset will be unable to be utilized.

The Company adopted specific provisions under ASC Topic 740, which provide interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Effective with the Company's adoption of these provisions, interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income taxes.

The Company's tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2017 through 2021. In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based awards at fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation over the service period they are expected to vest. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, we estimate the fair value of stock options and stock purchase warrants. The estimated value of the portion of a stock-based award that is ultimately expected to vest, considering estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of other comparative securities, equal to the weighted average life of the options. The estimate of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment. To the extent that actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures, such differences are accounted for as a cumulative adjustment to compensation expenses and recorded in the period that estimates are revised.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred no stock-based compensation.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records any "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") intrinsic value as additional paid-in capital and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt. If the underlying debt is converted, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Debt Issue Costs

The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt, whether convertible or not, or with other considerations. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the obligation to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount.

Original Issue Discount

Suppose a debt is issued with an original issue discount. In that case, the original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note. It is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount. If the underlying debt is converted, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based awards issued and derivatives embedded in financial instruments. Assessments are used to determine depreciation, the valuation of non-cash issuances of common stock, stock options, and warrants, and valuing convertible notes for beneficial conversion features, among others.

Fair Value

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1—Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs.

Level 2—Significant other observable inputs that observable market data can corroborate; and

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that observable market data cannot corroborate.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level on March 3, 2023 and December 31, 2022, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The concentration of Credit Risk

The carrying value of short-term financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term debt, approximates the fair value of these instruments. These financial instruments generally expose the Company to limited credit risk and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities and carry interest rates that approximate the market. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions insured by the FDIC. On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no amounts above the FDIC limit.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options." The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this standard and determined no material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock

The Company has designated a "Class B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Class B Preferred"). The number of authorized shares totals 1,000,000, and the par value is $.001 per share. The Class B Preferred shareholders vote together with the common stock as a single class. The holders of Class B Preferred are entitled to receive all notices relating to voting as are required to be given to the holders of the Common Stock. The holders of Class B Preferred shares shall be entitled to 10,000 votes per share.

The Class B Preferred Stock will have the rights to liquidation as all classes of the Company's Common Stock. The Class B Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends at 8% per annum, accrued daily. The Corporation shall redeem the Class B Preferred Stock for 100% of the original purchase price plus the amount of cash dividends accrued on the earlier of 6 months from the date of issuance, or the date that the Corporation received its funding from any outside source in conjunction with a merger, reverse merger or any change of control. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock, the amount of $.035 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," and determined that the convertible notes should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The Company accounts for convertible notes and warrants as a derivative liability due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of all conversion options.

The following table summarizes the derivative liabilities included in the balance sheet on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

There are many Over the Air and platform driven television networks with greater financial resources and experience in running such as Sling TV which is owned by DISH Network as well as many other independent networks. We will compete with many firms, including corporations with large divisions, many of these companies have great financial, technical or marketing resources, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition or larger customer bases than we do and may be able to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions than we can.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Below is a summary of the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue

We had no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and no revenue for the same period in 2022. We expect that revenue will increase in future quarters as a currently, we are in the process of re-building a more fortified, secure, and user-friendly platform for storing and claiming our future NFTs. We are also building a landing platform on top of our current NFT platform which will be an industry first. This platform’s purpose is to help NFT investors recapture the losses incurred on certain types of projects. In the process it will create substantial opportunities for us and will give us tremendous credibility in the Blockchain and NFT community. We expect to announce the completion of that project in late June and potentially launch it in late the July August timeframe.

We will also start work shortly on a project which will have its roots in the music industry that will include many artists and will be a game driven project with prizes awarded at the end of each contest period which could include free concert tickets, back-stage passes, airfare to and from the concert. The future is looking very bright for our NFT platform, and we fully expect it to become an integral part of our company.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $37,589,574 and a working capital deficit of $5,691,063 as of March 31, 2023 and future losses are anticipated. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

We currently do not see any need to raise additional capital at this time. Our current capital investors are on favorable terms, and we expect that we will be able to execute our business plan, grow the business and start generating greater revenue. We have no current plans to restrict our operations at this time. The Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well to achieve its strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company and have not generated any revenues from operations to fully implement our business plan. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, and competition from larger organizations. We will require equity and/or debt financing to provide for the capital required to implement our plans. We will require additional funds to operate for the next year.

We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, 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 provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. 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. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As required by the SEC Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below. 

To address these material weaknesses, management engaged financial consultants, performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We have not remedied the material weaknesses as of March 31, 2023. The Company plans to take remedial action to address these weaknesses during the fiscal year ended 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except the implementation of the controls identified above.
