Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Organization and Description of Business

 

CuraScientific Corp (“Cura,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”), formerly known as Boon Industries Inc., ia a bioscience company that manufactures commercial chemical products with various applications in commercial sterilization for agriculture, warehousing, hospitality, and medical facilities. DiOx+, our flagship product, is a disinfectant sterilizer that kills harmful pathogens without dangerous toxic exposure to the user or the environment. DiOx+ is an activated chlorine dioxide (Cl02) broad spectrum disinfectant that protects the environment and human health from viruses, bacteria and harmful by-products left by other cleaning sanitizers, without a harsh smell or skin irritation. DiOx+ is effective against aerobic and non-aerobic bacteria, viruses, molds, fungi, algae, protozoa, and spores. The Company wholly owned subsidiary, Matrix of Life Tech Trust works with the Company with applications in the beverage and nutritional supplement industries, and water bottling operations in Grants Pass, Oregon, where it produces bottled water and a range of products for the health and wellness industry.

 

Cal Care Group, Inc. Acquisition

 

On October 1, 2022, the Company executed a share exchange agreement with Cal Care Group, Inc. (“Cal Care”) and William Reed, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, director and controlling shareholder of the Company and sole shareholder of Cal Care. Cal Care is a California corporation with products and services in the cannabis retail, manufacturing, distribution, and delivery. Cal Care is a licensed delivery and distribution company with locations in Southern and Northern California. Headquartered in San Jacinto, California, Cal Care’s core strategic business is its end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace while developing its in-house cannabis production capacity to verticalize operations in the space.

 

The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cal Care in exchange for 500,000 Series A preferred shares of the Company on April 5, 2023.

 

Although the agreement provided for closing on the same date the agreement was entered into, the promised contractual consideration, being the 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, were not issued to Mr. Reed until April 5, 2023. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that the closing of the transactions under the agreement was not effective until April 5, 2023.

 

The Company accounted for this transaction as a common control business combination under ASC 805-50 Business Combinations Related Issues. The Company recognized the assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts in the financial statements of Cal Care on the date of transfer. The difference between the proceeds transferred and the carrying amounts of the net assets was considered equity transactions that was eliminated in consolidation, and no gain or loss was recognized in the consolidated financial statements of CuraScientific, Inc.

 

On April 25, 2023, Cal Care and JW Brands LLC executed an intellectual property license purchase under which Cal Care acquired three cannabis licenses C9-0000183 (Retail), C11-0000327 (Distribution), and CDPH-10003817 (Manufacturing) for a total consideration of $600,000.

Holding Company Parent-subsidiary Formation

 

The Company was formerly known as Boon Industries Inc., a bioscience company that manufactures commercial chemical products with various applications in commercial sterilization for agriculture, warehousing, hospitality, and medical facilities. On March 2, 2020 Boon acquired Matrix of Life Tech Trust, an Oregon Trust, a Trust with ongoing operations (“Matrix’). For financial reporting purposes, the Matrix acquisition represents a capital transaction of Matrix of Life Tech Trust or a Business combination under common control accounted for under ASC 805-50, because the sellers of Matrix of Life Tech Trust controlled the Company before the merger and immediately following the completion of the transaction. As such, Matrix of Life Tech Trust is deemed to the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is being treated as a recapitalization of Matrix of Life Tech Trust. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the Company’s ongoing financial statements will be those of Matrix of Life Tech Trust and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Matrix of Life Tech Trust. The Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Matrix of Life Tech Trust after consummation of the merger. The Company’s historical capital accounts will be retroactively adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by the Company in the merger while Matrix of Life Trust’s historical retained earnings will be carried forward. The historical financial statements of the Company before the Merger will be replaced with the historical statements of Matrix of Life Tech Trust before the merger in all future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC”.

 

Reincorporation Merger

 

On November 8, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved an agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to which the Company merged with and into CuraScientific corporation, a newly formed Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which resulted in the Company’s reincorporation from the State of Oklahoma to the State of Florida and change the Company’s name to CuraScientific corporation.

 

The shareholders also approved the implementation of a reverse stock split of its common stock on the basis of the issuance one share of CuraScientific corporation’s common stock for each 500 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding prior to the reincorporation merger (“reverse stock split”). Each share of Series A preferred stock of the Company will convert into one share of Series A preferred stock of CuraScientific corporation and each share of Series B preferred stock of the Company will convert into one share of Series B preferred stock of CuraScientific corporation.

 

The reverse stock split and name change became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) on April 24, 2023, whereupon the shares of CuraScientific common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis.

 

On April 24, 2023, the trading symbol for our common stock changed to “BNOWD” for a period of 20 business days, after which our common stock will trade under our new trading symbol “CSTF”. All share and per share related numbers in these consolidated financial statements give effect to the reverse stock split, which was effective on April 24, 2023.

 

The Reincorporation Merger did not result in any change in our headquarters, business, management, location of our any offices or facilities, number of employees, federal tax identification number, assets, or liabilities (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation Merger, which are not material). Management, including all directors and officers, remain the same immediately after the Reincorporation Merger.

Going concern, liquidity, and capital resources

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $26.7 million. The Company has recorded a net income of $41.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $45.3 million is a non cash item resulting from the mark to market revaluation of the Company’s series A preferred stock liability, has negative cash flow from operations of approximately $49,000, has an accumulated profit of $23 million as of June 30, 2023 mainly due to the revaluation of the Company’s Series A liability, and has limited business operations, has operating loss of $2.6 million, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or to achieve a profitable level of operations.

 

The Company has arranged financing through convertible debts and intends to utilize the cash received to fund its operations. The Company plans to seek additional financing, if necessary, in private or public equity offering to secure future funding for operations until the Company becomes profitable. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of the Company’s business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.

 

These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the amounts and classification to assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates include:

 

Liability for legal contingencies.

 

Useful life of assets.

 

Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance.

 

Impairment of finite-life intangible.

 

Obsolescence of inventory

 

Stock-based compensation using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates as one reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Chief operating decision maker regularly reviews the financial information of the Company at a consolidated level in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

COVID-19

 

The Company began seeing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business in early March 2020. The direct financial impact of the pandemic has primarily shown in significantly reduced production. In addition to these direct financial impacts, COVID-19 related safety measures resulted in a reduction of productivity. The Company will continue to assess and manage this situation and will provide a further update in each quarterly earnings release, to the extent that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are then known more clearly.

 

Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.

 

In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around the value and establishing a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring the value are observable in the market.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in market that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

 

The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of June 30, 2023, or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement.

10

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued interest, related party liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

 

The Company’s convertible notes payable and loans payable approximates the fair value of such liabilities based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements and due to the short-term nature of these instruments at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

 

The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative liability is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Sholes option valuation model was used to determine the fair value. The Company records derivative liability on the balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operation.

 

The following table presents balances of the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Derivative Liability

 

The Company measures the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:

 

   June 30, 2023
Expected term  1 month1 year
Exercise price  $0.00008-$0.00820
Expected volatility  342%-658%
Expected dividends  None
Risk-free interest rate  4.74%-5.40%
Forfeitures  None

 

The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment, or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.

 

The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control, and the assessment of volatility. The resulting effect on net income (loss) is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s variable rate debentures, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under this method, compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based payments based on the grant-date fair value. Such amounts have been reduced to reflect the Company’s estimate of forfeitures of all unvested awards.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock- based compensation that it grants to employees and non-employees. The Black-Scholes pricing model takes into consideration such factors as the estimated term of the securities, the conversion or exercise price of the securities, the volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, interest rates, and the probability that the securities will be converted or exercised to determine the fair value of the securities. The selection of these criteria requires management judgment and may impact on the Company’s net income or loss. The computation of volatility is intended to produce a value that is representative of the Company’s expectations about the future volatility of the price of its common stock over an expected term. The Company used its share price history to determine volatility and cannot predict what the price of its shares of common stock will be in the future. As a result, the volatility value that the Company calculated may differ from the actual volatility of the price of its shares of common stock in the future.

 

The Company does not have any stock options as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

 

ASC 815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

Debt issuance costs and debt discounts

 

Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the lives of the related financings on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

 

Under ASU 2014-9, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised good or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASU 2014-09, the Company identifies the performance obligation(s) in the contract by assessing whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct.

 

Revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods or services, through performance obligation, is transferred/provided to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the performance obligations.

 

The Company generates revenue from the sale of cannabis products, which is recognized at one point in time, at delivery.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the sources of revenue were as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
                 
Revenue from sale of cannabis at one point in time  $441,377   $   $822,127   $ 
Service income at point in time       8,983        34,434 
Total revenue  $441,377   $8,983   $822,127   $34,434 

13

 

The Company’s performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification (in writing, electronically or verbally) for goods, and the Company accepts the order. The Company identifies the performance obligation as the delivery of the requested product in appropriate quantities and to the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. The Company generally recognizes revenue when the product or service has been transferred to the customer, at which time the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment. The Company’s sales and sale prices are final, and the selling prices are not affected by contingent events that could impact the transaction price.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through June 30, 2023.

 

Capitalized licensing fees

 

The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale, or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the review indicates the impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the new value.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $1,275,000 of impairment loss related to the exclusive distribution and licensing agreement with C Group LLC.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $600,000 of capitalized licensing fee regarding the three licenses acquired from JW Brands LLC. The Company amortizes the capitalized licensing fees over the remaining legal term of the underlying licensing agreement.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $600,000 of capitalized licensing fee regarding the three licenses acquired from Chad Enterprises LLC. The Company amortizes the capitalized licensing fees over the remaining legal term of the underlying licensing agreement.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”), and net realizable value. Any adjustments to reduce the cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period.

14

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value, and as such, earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine an allowance based on historical write-off experience and specific account information available. Accounts receivable are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets net of a valuation allowance of $0 as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022. When internal collection efforts on accounts have been exhausted, the accounts are written off by reducing the allowance for doubtful accounts and the related customer receivable. The Company did not recognize any bad debt expense during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

The Company does not have any stock options or warrants as of June 30, 2023. The Company has approximately $524,859 of principal and accrued interest from convertible notes, of which $207,896 are currently convertible and have a conversion option in the money as of June 30, 2023. This would result in the issuance of 36,473,024 shares of common stock for the diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using 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 of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Business Combinations under common control

 

Pursuant to ASC 805-50, a common-control transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination because there is no change in control over the net assets before and after the transaction. The accounting for these transactions is addressed in the “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control”. The net assets are derecognized by the transferring entity and recognized by the receiving entity at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control. Any difference between the proceeds transferred or received and the carrying amounts of the net assets is recognized in equity in the transferring and receiving entities’ separate financial statements and eliminated in consolidation. The change in accounting principle is applied retroactively for all periods presented.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements and determined that there are no accounting pronouncements that will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 7 – COMMON CONTROL BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On October 1, 2022, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “agreement”) with Cal Care Group, Inc (“Cal Care” or the “seller”), and William Reed, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, director and controlling shareholder of the Company and sole shareholder of Cal Care.

 

Cal Care is a licensed delivery and distribution company with locations in Southern and Northern California.

 

The agreement provides for the acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cal Care for a contractual consideration of $5,000,000, payable by the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10 per share.

 

Although the agreement provided for closing on the same date the agreement was entered into, the promised contractual consideration, being the 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, were not issued to Mr. Reed until April 5, 2023. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that the closing of the transactions under the agreement was not effective until April 5, 2023.

 

The Company accounted for this transaction as a common control business combination under ASC 805-50 Business Combinations Related Issues. The Company recognized the assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts in the financial statements of Cal Care on the date of transfer. The difference between the proceeds transferred and the carrying amounts of the net assets was considered equity transactions that was eliminated in consolidation, and no gain or loss was recognized in the consolidated financial statements of CuraScientific, Inc.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows:

 

   April 5, 2023 
Fair value of Series A preferred stock  $1,700,000 

19

 

The Company issued 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. The fair value of the non-monetary exchange was determined based on a valuation report obtained from an independent third-party valuation firm. The fair value of the Company’s Series A preferred was determined based on a weighted combination of income approach and market approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on a three-year discounted cash flow model. The market approach estimates fair value based on comparable transactions.

 

The assets and liabilities and operations of the two entities were combined at their historical carrying amount and all historical periods were adjusted as if the businesses had always been combined since the common control transaction resulted in a change in the reporting entity. Indeed, as the two entities have never been presented together, the resulting financial statements are effectively considered to be those of a different reporting entity. The change in reporting entity requires retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented as if the combination had been in effect since inception of common control in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-21. Both entities became under common control since November 8, 2022, at which time, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was granted 1,000 super voting rights shares of Series B preferred stock.

 

The results of operations of CuraScientific Corp. and Cal Care Group are combined in the period in which the transfer occurs as through the entities had been combined as of the beginning of the period. As such, the results of operations include the results of operations of CuraScientific Corp. and Cal Care for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Series A

 

Series A preferred stock (“Series A”) has no voting rights and have no dividends and in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, each share of Series A has a stated value of $10 per share. Each share of Series A is convertible to common stock at the closing price of common on the date of conversion.

 

The Company follows ASC 480-10, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” in its evaluation of the accounting for the Series A Preferred Stock. ASC 480-10-25-14 requires liability accounting for certain financial instruments, including shares that embody an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares, provided that the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on one of the following three characteristics:

 

  A fixed monetary amount known at inception.

 

  Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or

 

  Variations in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, but the monetary value to the counterparty moves in the opposite direction as the value of the issuer’s shares.

22

 

The number of shares delivered is determined on the basis of (1) the fixed monetary amount determined as the stated value and (2) the current stock price at settlement, so that the aggregate fair value of the shares delivered equals the monetary value of the obligation, which is fixed or predominantly fixed. Accordingly, the holder is not significantly exposed to gains and losses attributable to changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity shares. Instead, the Company is using its own equity shares as currency to settle a monetary obligation.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as a liability in accordance with ASC 480-10 and the Company has elected to record the Series A Preferred Stock at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through earnings.

 

The fair value of the Series A preferred stock was determined at $3.40 per share following a weighted income and market approaches, which resulted in a change in the fair value of $45,344,831 during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Lease

 

Facility in Grants Pass, Oregon

 

The Company leases a product production and water bottling facility in Grants Pass, Oregon on a month-to-month basis at a cost of $2,000 per month.

 

Commercial lease in San Bernadino, CA

 

The Company leases property under an operating lease. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related assets and obligations at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease does not contain any renewal option and/or termination option that are factored into our determination of the lease payments. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments to present value, as the rate implicit in its lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the estimated interest rate for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease at the commencement date.

 

The Company recognized an operating lease liability in the amount of the net present value of the future minimum lease payments, and a right-of-use asset. The Company recognized an initial right of use asset of $120,389 and an equivalent amount for lease liability.

25

 

The discount rate used for this lease was 6.75%, which was determined to be the incremental borrowing rate based on comparative secured financing in the marketplace at the inception of the fixed lease payments. Lease expense was approximately $6,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Future estimated minimum lease payments by year and in aggregate, under the Company’s fixed payment operating lease consisted of the following at June 30, 2023:

 

   Operating 
   Lease 
For the twelve months ended June 30,     
2024  $28,750 
2025   30,000 
2026   30,000 
2027   30,000 
2028   22,500 
Total  $141,250 
Less amount representing interest   (20,861)
Present value of the net minimum payments  $120,389

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the Certifying Officers) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out by us under the supervision and with the participation of our Certifying Officers. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers have concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures, that are designed to ensure (i) that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, were not effective.

 

As of June 30, 2023, based on evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We will be required to spend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy the weaknesses described below. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates or that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

 

1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the authorization of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. The recording of transactions function is maintained by a third-party consultant whereas authorization and custody remains under the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, management 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
