Our revenues and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K, as a result of certain risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our business reliance on third parties to provide us with technology, our ability to integrate and manage acquired technology, assets, companies and personnel, changes in market condition, the volatile and intensely competitive environment in the business sectors in which we operate, rapid technological change, and our dependence on key and scarce employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ITEM 1. Business.

 

The Company

 

BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc. (“BioForce” or the “Company”) was previously in the business of manufacturing nano-particular measurement devices and molecular printers, but due to a lack of profitability, the subsidiary of the company that owned that technology filed for bankruptcy. That subsidiary and related technology was later bought out of bankruptcy by an unrelated third party. Subsequently, new management came into the Company to pursue a better business model and now the Company’s mission is to become a leading provider of natural vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements, powders and beverages, formulated to promote a healthier lifestyle for active individuals in all age ranges. The Company private labels products with key distributors and manufacturing providers.

 

BioForce entered into the supplement business in or about 2015. These supplements, powders and beverages offer vitamins and minerals to complement a healthy intake of protein and carbohydrates for active individuals and participants in sports.

 

BioForce recently changed its business plan and it is in the process of establishing a dynamic marketing campaign to achieve brand awareness of its product offerings to drive business growth through sales of nutrition supplements to retailers, sporting goods retailers, supermarkets, mass merchandisers, and online. BioForce currently markets its products through social media and telemarketing. The Company plans to expand marketing efforts with a direct marketing and B2B (Business to Business) sales campaign, with the eventual expectation to expand throughout the entire United States.

 

The Company proactively seeks to expand its “BioForce Eclipse” nutritional powder for use into households throughout the U.S., and the Company will approach retail stores, including health food and sporting goods stores to create a vendor relationship. During this phase, the Company will continue to try to advance its social media platform with direct online and targeted advertisements to health conscience individuals.

 

Nutrition retailers, grocery stores, retail pharmacies, and online stores, like Amazon, will be important channels for the Company’s Eclipse product-lines. In The USA, there are thousands of direct outlets like grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, department stores, medical clinics, surgery clinics, universities, nursing homes, prisons, and other facilities which are all targets of potential sales of the vitamin and mineral supplemental products.

 

The Company plans to offer its products for direct sales on its website at www.bioforceeclipse.com. 

-2-

 

The approximate $35.0 billion vitamin and supplement manufacturing industry grows on average 2.5% annually.

 

The Company will seek out retail sales opportunities with gyms, health clubs, and fitness centers with incentive base sales agreements based on volume of sales obtained.

 

Currently, the Company BioForce Eclipse, a private label brand powder supplements. The product is a mixture of amino acids, key vitamins, and other plant based proteins, essential to the physical well-being of the individual. Protein supplements are known to promote muscular growth, so athletes or others often take them as a dietary supplement to gain muscle mass.

 

Nutritional Products are made up of a wide range of products, which include supplements, meal replacement products, multivitamins, and convenience products. As these products have increased in popularity, more individuals have been attempting to get in optimal physical condition, wanting to use products that complement their lifestyles, exercise, or athletic regimen. BioForce’s Management is aware of other potential products and will continue to evaluate these potential markets and possible new products lines.

 

BioForce entered into a market that has some reputable players, but has limited leadership. BioForce will work to get the product available through most retail channels, so that customers will see both convenience in purchasing the product, and convenience over having to take numerous different supplements. After BioForce launches its products into the sports nutrition supplement industry, it is anticipated that there will be other firms that will work to offer similar products. This fact magnifies the importance of BioForce’s quality and its support of its products.

 

The initial marketing efforts will focus on the online stores, B2B sales, direct mail, industry trade shows, conventions, and affiliate marketing designed to educate prospective users and distributors, including retail channels, doctors and gyms. Less direct methods will include TV and radio advertising until such time as the Company’s budget allows it to upgrade its marketing plan and to do so effectively.

 

BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc. maintains an executive office in Virginia Beach, Virginia. All marketing, sales, and customer support will be managed from its Virginia Beach Office. Private labeling is done on a contractual basis unless an opportunity to vertically integrate production makes fiscal sense.

 

BioForce Nanosciences Holdings sells the BioForce Eclipse powder multivitamin and mineral supplement without non-compete and non-disclosure agreements. The Company currently private labels the powder through a manufacturer located in Virginia. The Company has a Supplier Agreement with this manufacturer that gives the Company non-exclusion rights to market the product. The distributor owns the rights to the formula for this product. If the Company can source product in a more cost-effective way without diminished quality, the Company would evaluate such opportunities when presented. Currently, the distributor who provides the private label powder provides “Consignment Terms,” which allows us to only pay for the product when it is sold. 

 

In addition to manufacturing the product, this private label vitamin distributor also offers custom labeling and packaging of the product. BioForce utilizes these services, and will seek out examples from other potential manufacturer and distributor of future products to ensure that the quality of work reflects the Company’s standards for presentation and quality.

The FDA has rules regarding the fitness for consumption of foods as well as vitamins and supplements sold to the public, and those laws apply to our product. However, our product does not require pre-clearance like a drug in order to be sold into the marketplace.

 

BioForce’s management understands that similar competing products are available to the consumer, and customers may consider switching from BioForce Eclipse to a competitor’s product. Manufacturers and distributors who provide private label services generally incentives larger orders, which the Company might not be financially able to provide. Management remains conscience of changes in the marketplace, its relationship with the Private Label manufacture distributor, and other risk associated with supply chain issues.

 

BioForce’s dietary supplements and vitamins cannot take the place of a well-balanced diet. Some people believe that the ingestion of supplements, pills and beverages can make up for poor eating habits; but vitamin and mineral supplements don’t offer a wellness solution. None of BioForces’ products are approved by the FDA and are sold without doctors prescriptions through the Company’s marketing channels.

 

The Company caters to the needs of customers with a focus on the elderly and athletes across numerous sports, ages, and economic backgrounds. 

 

The Company plans to offer numerous products beyond nutritional supplement powder, but will only offer products that advance the BioForce product-line name, “BioForce Eclipse” (See Fig. 1-product labels).

 

The aging baby boomers, report regular use of multivitamin and multi-mineral supplements at a higher rate than other demographic group. Recent surveys have indicated that women, Caucasians, individuals with higher education levels, people with lower body mass indexes and people with higher physical activity levels were more likely to use supplements. These groups were also most likely to talk to a doctor about the need for supplements, because they knew about their benefits, they are subject to a higher risk of deficiencies, or had a family history of medical type issues.

 

Health conscience “Baby Boomers,” sports participants, and other active individuals continue to extend their health education awareness. The industry’s traditional focus on these groups is shifting to an ever-expanding group that includes recreational and lifestyle users, such as fitness enthusiasts, weekend athletes and gym-goers, of all ages.

 

BioForce will provide its consumer base with products that serve their health needs, and which add value even beyond their needs. The Company first introduced its multivitamin and mineral supplemental powder product, “BioForce Eclipse in December, 2014.” With the introduction of this first product, BioForce advances the Company’s name offering additional products that meet the standards for a healthy lifestyle.  BioForce Eclipse is a private label branding produced by Body Align, LLC from a distributor located in Virginia, USA.

 

The Company had no customer during its 2021 and 2022 fiscal years. Customers are not required to purchase the product in the future and the Company’s marketing plan is to broaden the Company’s customer base.

 

The Company intends to increase its U.S. market share by offering new incentives and promotions to attract customers on trying its products. The Company intends to market a new biodegradable, recyclable container of its products to attract enviromentally conscience customers and to develop new markets. BioForce will evaluate the success of its marketing objectives and determine which marketing strategy provides the best results. As sale volumes increase, we expect that it will become necessary to hire sales associates.

 

The Company in May 2020 formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Element Acquisition Corporation, a Wyoming corporation, with unlimited common shares authorized, par value $0.001. Element Acquisition Corporation was formed to pursue potential acquisitions in the media, entertainment, media technology and sports sectors. The Company on October 15, 2020 changed the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary Element Acquisition Corporation, a Wyoming corporation, to BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc, a Wyoming corporation. On December 14, 2021, the Company changed the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary to Element Global, Inc.

Wholly-owned Subsidiary

 

On May 18, 2020, BioForce NanoSciences Holdings Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Element Acquisition Corporation, a Wyoming corporation, with unlimited shares authorized, and par value $0.001. Mr. Merle Ferguson and Mr. Richard Kaiser are Board of Directors of Element Acquisition Corporation.

 

On June 04, 2020, BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc.’ s wholly-owned subsidiary Element Acquisition Corporation, announced that it created an “Investment Committee” comprised of leading executives with extensive experience in the media, entertainment and sports sectors. The “Investment Committee” was established to oversee a strategy aimed at acquiring and investing in companies across these industries. Element Acquisition Corporation was formed to serve as a potential acquisition vehicle for these types of transactions.

 

The Company on October 15, 2020 changed the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary Element Acquisition Corporation, a Wyoming corporation, to BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc, a Wyoming corporation. Management expects to use the wholly-owned subsidiary to redomicile the Company from a Nevada corporation to a Wyoming corporation.

 

On December 14, 2021, the Company changed the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary, BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, to its new name, Element Global, Inc.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On December 2, 2019, The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in order to effect a plan of recapitalization that provides for a one-for-five (1-for-5) reverse stock split of our common stock. Pursuant to written resolutions, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the proposal to authorize the reverse split. The reverse stock split took effect, after filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada. The amended Articles of Incorporation did not change the authorized shares. The common and preferred shares have a par value of $0.001 per share. Based on the amended Articles of Incorporation the Company has 10,000,000 Series ‘A’ Preferred shares outstanding, and each share has voting and conversion rights so that one Series ‘A’ Preferred is equivalent 100 common shares (see Exhibit 3.2).

This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans. These statements involve risks and uncertainties.

Coronavirus Impact (COVID-19)

 

Due to the recent outbreak of the coronavirus reported in many countries worldwide, local and federal governments have issued travel advisories, canceled large scale public events and closed schools. In addition, companies have begun to cancel conferences and travel plans and require employees to work from home. Global financial markets have also experienced extreme volatility and disruptions to capital and credit markets.

 

Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel, potential impact on our business partners and customers, and other matters affecting the general work and business environment could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy.

-8-

 

Management is currently aware of the global and domestic issues arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and the possible direct and indirect effects on the Company’s operations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s current financial position, future results of operations, or liquidity, because its current operations are limited. However, investors should also be aware of factors, which includes the possibility of Covid-19 effects on operational status, could have a negative impact on the Company’s prospects and the consistency of progress in the areas of revenue generation, liquidity, and generation of capital resources. These may include: (i) variations in revenue, (ii) possible inability to attract investors for its equity securities or otherwise raise adequate funds from any source should the company seek to do so, (iii) increased governmental regulation or significant changes in that regulation, (iv) increased competition, (v) unfavorable outcomes to litigation involving the Company or to which the Company may become a party in the future, and (vi) a very competitive and rapidly changing operating environment. The adverse events may also adversely impact our ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. We continue to monitor the recent outbreak of the coronavirus on our operations. The global economic slowdown and the other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, to the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties which the Company faces.

 

Going Concern

 

On December 31, 2022, we had total assets of $734 and total liabilities of $1,348,011. In the absence of significant revenue and profits, we will be completely dependent on additional debt and equity financing. If we are unable to raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we will not be able to execute our business plan, develop or enhance existing services, take advantage of future opportunities, if any, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. If we do not obtain sufficient capital, we will not be able to continue operations.

 

As of December 31, 2022, BioForce had an accumulated deficit of $160,157,776, which included a net loss of $485,514. Also, during the year ended December 31 2022, we used net cash of $68,389 for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While we are attempting to generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our debt or equity securities. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for BioForce to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may not be successful.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to raise additional funds and to further implement our business plan and generate revenues.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021. 

 

Revenues for the Company’s year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $-0- from the sales of its vitamin supplements.

 

Cost of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $-0- . Company had -0- unit sales of the “BioForce Eclipse” supplement product in 2022 and 2021.

 

Gross margins for year ended December 2022 and 2021 was $-0- due to -0- units sold of the “BioForce Eclipse” supplement product.

 

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $-0- due to -0- sales of the Company’s vitamin supplements.

 

General and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $62,514 compared to $78,955 for December 31, 2021, primarily due to decreases in professional service fees.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $485,514 and $501,955, respectively. The decrease in loss was due to decreases in General and Administrative paid expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

 

As of December 31, 2022, our assets totaled $734 in cash. The Company’s total liabilities were $1,348,011 which consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued board of directors compensation and amounts due to related parties. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $160,157,776 and working capital deficit of $1,347,277.

 

The Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As indicated herein, we need capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations.  We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses at this time. Unless the Company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company will either have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan. For the next 12 months the Company has an oral commitment from its Chairman, Merle Ferguson, to advance funds as necessary to meeting our operating requirement.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for both calendar years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021.

 

Cash from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $58,018 for year ended December 31, 2022, and was $49,012 for year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: 1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

We adopted this ASC on January 1, 2018. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for employee and non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including revenue recognition. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. 

 

Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after considering the existence of material weaknesses identified, determined that our internal control over financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022.

 

Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).

-11-

 

We identified the following deficiencies which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022: 

 

 - The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design.

 

 - During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and the recording of journal entries and for the preparation of financial statements. This process was deficient, because these duties were performed often times by the same people, and therefore a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure that we maintain an effective internal control environment. If deficiencies appear in our internal controls, management will make changes that address those deficiencies.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. 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 audit. 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 

NOTE 1 – Organization & Description of Business

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 10, 1999 as Silver River Ventures, Inc. On February 24, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of BioForce Nanosciences Holdings Inc. (“BioForce”), a Delaware corporation, and changed the corporate name at that time. On May 6, 2020, the Company purchased 100,000 shares of Element Acquisition Corporation for $1,000 which then became a wholly owned subsidiary. On October 15, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary changed its name from Element Acquisition Corporation, a Wyoming corporation, to BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc, a Wyoming corporation. On December 14, 2021, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary changed its name from BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc., a Wyoming corporation to Element Global Inc., a Wyoming corporation. The Company’s mission is to become a leading provider of vitamin, mineral and other nutritional supplements, powders and beverages, formulated to promote a healthier lifestyle for active individuals in all age ranges.

 

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bioforce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Element Global, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, (the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from both diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

 

Stock-Based Compensation 

 

We account for employee and non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or effective interest rates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.

 


The Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold from product sales or services rendered when control of the promised goods are transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

NOTE 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including the new lease standard. The Company does not have any leases and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 4 – Going Concern 

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported recurring losses from operations and has net current liabilities and an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to continue operations and generate revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement the Company’s business plan; to expand sales with a dynamic marketing campaign and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2022 due to lack of revenues the officers of the Company paid for all expenses through loans to the Company.  This allowed the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 7 – Risks and Uncertainties

 

Coronavirus Impact (COVID-19) 

 

Due to the recent outbreak of the coronavirus reported in many countries worldwide, local and federal governments have issued travel advisories, canceled large scale public events and closed schools. In addition, companies have begun to cancel conferences and travel plans and require employees to work from home. Global financial markets have also experienced extreme volatility and disruptions to capital and credit markets.

 

We are unable to predict the impact of the coronavirus on our operations at this time. Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel, potential impact on our business partners and customers, and other matters affecting the general work and business environment could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy. The adverse events may also adversely impact our ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. We continue to monitor the recent outbreak of the coronavirus on our operations.
