NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Chase Packaging Corporation (“the Company”), a Texas Corporation, previously manufactured woven paper mesh for industrial applications, polypropylene mesh fabric bags for agricultural use, and distributed agricultural packaging manufactured by other companies. Management’s plans for the Company include securing a merger or acquisition, raising additional capital, and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value. However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and ability to continue as a going concern.
The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation and a reasonable understanding of the information presented. The Interim Condensed Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, previously filed with the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of March 31, 2019, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is made to that report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to financial statements.
NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 amends existing lease accounting guidance and requires recognition of most lease arrangements on the balance sheet. The adoption of this standard will result in the Company recognizing a right-of-use asset representing its rights to use the underlying asset for the lease term with an offsetting lease liability. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – To Be Adopted
Intangibles, Goodwill and Other — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU No. 2017-04”). To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, ASU No. 2017-04 requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU No. 2017-04 also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2017-04 commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements or the related footnote disclosures.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement — This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, including the removal, modification to, and addition of certain disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The majority of the disclosure changes are to be applied on a prospective basis. Although this ASU has a significant impact to the Company’s fair value disclosures, no additional impact is expected to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not believe that other standards, which have been issued but are not yet effective, will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Use of 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.

Table of Contents |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had cash in insured accounts in the amount of $241,093 and $46,713, respectively, and cash equivalents (US treasury bills) held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $500,000 and $709,158 respectively.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming enacted tax rates 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. There was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of implementing this guidance. At March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.
NOTE 4 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of common stock equivalents.
We have excluded 6,909,000 and 6,909,000 common stock equivalents (preferred stock, warrants and stock options) from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively, which, if included, would have an antidilutive effect.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES:
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Act lowered the Company’s U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also imposing a deemed repatriation tax on previously deferred foreign income. The Act also created a new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings. The Act will impact the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations in future periods (approximate 25% effective combined federal and state corporate tax rate). The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets and therefore any impact on the value of the company’s deferred tax assets will be offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
Our tax provision is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. The 2019 and 2018 annual effective tax rate is estimated to be a combined 25%, respectively for the U.S. combined federal and state statutory tax rates. We review tax uncertainties in light of changing facts and circumstances and adjust them accordingly. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no tax contingencies or unrecognized tax positions recorded.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting, and the amounts recognized for income tax purposes. The significant components of deferred tax assets (at an approximate 25% effective tax rate) as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are as follows:
|

We have a net operating loss carry forward for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $1,272,000 at March 31, 2019, that is potentially available to offset future taxable income. The Company had approximately $38,000 in net operating losses expire in the current year. The Act changes the rules on net operating loss carry forwards. The 20-year limitation was eliminated for losses incurred after January 1, 2018, giving the taxpayer the ability to carry forward losses indefinitely. However, utilization of net operating loss carry forward arising after January 1, 2018, will now be limited to 80 percent of taxable income.
For financial reporting purposes, no deferred tax asset was recognized because at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management estimates that it is more likely than not that substantially all of the net operating losses will expire unused. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. The timing and manner in which we can utilize our net operating loss carry forward and future income tax deductions in any year may be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the change in ownership of corporations. Such limitation may have an impact on the ultimate realization of our carry forwards and future tax deductions. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 382”) imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize net operating losses if it experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years, and the amount of the limitation may under certain circumstances be increased by the built-in gains in assets held by us at the time of the change that are recognized in the five-year period after the change. Upon review of the ownership shifts, there has not been an ownership change as defined under Section 382.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) which addresses income tax accounting implications of the 2017 Tax Act. The purpose of SAB 118 was to address any uncertainty or diversity of view in applying ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes in the reporting period in which the 2017 Tax Act was enacted. SAB 118 addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act upon issuance of a company’s financial statements for the reporting period which include the enactment date. SAB 118 allows for a provisional amount to be recorded if it is a reasonable estimate of the impact of the 2017 Tax Act. Additionally, SAB 118 allows for a measurement period to finalize the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act, not to extend beyond one year from the date of enactment. The Company has completed the accounting for the tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in 2018. As a result, the amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable was reduced 100% by a valuation allowance.
The following is a reconciliation of the tax derived by applying the statutory rate to the earnings before income taxes, and comparing that to the recorded income tax (expense) benefits:

The Company had no uncertain tax positions that would necessitate recording of a tax related liability.

Warrants
2017 Extension of Warrant Terms
On August 24, 2017, 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants issued by the Company were modified to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2019. The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remain the same. The warrants modification expense of $31,478 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share, which was the contemporaneous private placement offering price. Assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model for these warrants were as follows:
Average risk-free interest rate |
|
| 1.27 | % |
Average expected life- years |
|
| 2 |
|
Expected volatility |
|
| 135.42 | % |
Expected dividends |
|
| 0 | % |
As of March 31, 2019, warrants to purchase 6,909,000 shares were outstanding, having exercise prices at $0.15 and an expiration date of September 7, 2019.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels are described below:
Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;
Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.
There were no transfers in or out of any level during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018.
Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company’s balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the year ended December 31, 2018 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Table of Contents |
The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:
Cash equivalents at fair value — the Company’s cash equivalents, at fair value, consist of money market funds — marked to market. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy since they are valued using quoted market prices from an exchange.
The following tables provide information on those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively:

These expenses were directly related to the maintenance of the corporate entity and the preparation and filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The increase in operating expenses in 2019 was mainly due to the increase in legal and transfer agent fees.
Loss from Operation
The Company incurred loss from operation of $25,106 and $13,474 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Other Income (Expense)

Net Loss
The Company had a net loss of $22,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with a net loss of $11,946 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $22,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $11,946 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Increases in net loss attributable to common stockholders were due primarily to the increase of general and administrative expense.
Loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $(0.00) and $(0.00) based on the weighted-average shares issued and outstanding.
It is anticipated that future operating expenses will increase as the Company complies with its periodic reporting requirements and effects a business combination, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in effecting a business combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2019 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $741,000 consisting mostly of money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents are sufficient for its business activities for at least the next twelve months and for the costs of seeking an acquisition of an operating business.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting.
