Fact, Inc. (“We” or the “Company” as the context may require) was established under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 17, 2017 as Tiburon International Trading Corporation (“Tiburon”). Tiburon was established as a development stage company focusing its business on the distribution of air infiltration valves manufactured in China to markets in Europe and in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). On October 5, 2020, Kryptos Art Technologies, Inc. (“Kryptos”), an Ontario corporation purchased 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from Yun Cai, who was the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Sole Director of Tiburon.

The Company is winding down operations of the historic Tiburon business, which has largely been curtailed by prior management because of COVID-19 and lack of capital necessary for expansion of the website and product offerings. Kryptos had been working on a technology designed to detect and eliminate fraud in the art world. Kryptos has assigned all of its technological know-how in this area to the Company which we will pursue as our primary business operations.
In connection this new line of business, we have entered into and are negotiating a series of development and consulting agreements with software and hardware developers to complete the development of our products. The Company expects to enter into a license agreement to utilize fraud detection technology in the art area. The Company expects to enter into such license agreement with an award winning forensic ballistic technology company that revolutionized the Criminal Justice system’s approach to ballistics.
FACT stands for Forensic Asset Certification Technology. FACT is creating technology to utilize white light interferometry to bring forensic technology to the art world. FACT takes a non-destructive 3D digital fingerprint of the art using over 100,000 unique images. These scans, measured at two (2) microns, equal to 1/50th of a human hair, are unable to be reproduced or forged. Scans are compared to one another by a computer algorithm to verify the paintings or other assets authenticity.
All data is stored securely on the block-chain for real time collection management. We are currently developing a front-end user interface as well as modifying existing ballistics firmware for a comprehensive verification, tracking and reporting system. A workable prototype (the “Prototype”) is expected to be ready during the Company’s second quarter ending July 31, 2022.
We plan to market to various channels in different capacities including, but not limited to, subscription models, leasing models, and individual point of sale models. The fees for our different models will range from a flat fee to a percentage of sales fee. We are hopeful the Company will commence its marketing efforts in the Company’s second quarter ending April 30, 2022, with the hope that the product may launch by the end of the Company’s second quarter ending July 31, 2022.
Our products are not yet commercially available and we do not expect them to be commercially available until at least the end of the second quarter of 2022 if ever. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:
■ | continue research and development of our existing product prototypes; | |
■ | seek to discover and develop additional products with our technology; | |
■ | establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our products; | |
■ | seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws; | |
■ | maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio; | |
■ | hire manufacturing, engineering and other personnel to support our products development and future commercialization efforts; | |
■ | add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and | |
■ | incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company. |

JOBS Act
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
An emerging growth company may also take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
■ | we may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; | |
■ | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; | |
■ | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and | |
■ | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which such fifth anniversary will occur in 2021. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.0 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.
We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and, as long as we continue to qualify as an emerging growth company, we may elect to take advantage of this and other reduced burdens in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under SEC Regulation S-K. As such, we also are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and also are subject to less extensive disclosure requirements regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We will continue to be deemed a smaller reporting company until our public float exceeds $75 million on the last day of our second fiscal quarter in the preceding fiscal year.

Overview
The Company was established under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 17, 2017 as Tiburon International Trading Corp. Tiburon was established as a development stage company focusing its business on the distribution of air infiltration valves manufactured in China to markets in Europe and in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). On October 5, 2020, Kryptos Art Technologies, Inc. (“Kryptos”), an Ontario corporation purchased 2,500,000 shares of Tiburon from Yun Cai, who was the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Sole Director of Tiburon. As a result of this sale, Kryptos became the majority shareholder of Tiburon. The shares owned by Kryptos represented approximately 71.87% of Tiburon’s outstanding common stock. The purchase price was $232,467. The funds were funds of Kryptos. Kryptos is controlled by recently-departed Company CEO, Brian McWilliams.
Mr. McWilliams was appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on October 5, 2020. On October 8, 2020, Kryptos, as the holder of approximately 71% of the voting stock of the Company executed a shareholder consent to effect a name change of the Tiburon to Fact, Inc.

Research and Development
Research and development expenses consists of costs incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop our product. This includes conducting studies and trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:
■ | forensic technology product testing and regulatory-related costs; | |
■ | expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our product testing; | |
■ | manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; | |
■ | employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation; and | |
■ | facility expenses dedicated to research and development. |
We typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs by product or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product or development programs.
Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our product. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product through development. The successful development of product is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product.
We do not expect any of our products to be commercially available until the end of the Company’s second quarter ending July 31, 2022. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:
■ | continue research and development, including development of our existing product; | |
■ | seek to discover and develop additional product; | |
■ | establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our product for which we may obtain regulatory approval; | |
■ | seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws; | |
■ | maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio; |
10 |
■ | hire manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product development and future commercialization efforts; | |
■ | add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and | |
■ | incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company. |

Revenues
During the year ended January 31, 2021, the Company did not generate any revenue compared to $4,500 during the year ended January 31, 2020. The cost of revenue was $0.
A workable Prototype is expected to be ready during the Company’s first quarter ending April 30, 2022, with rollout starting by the end of the Company’s second quarter ending July 31, 2022. Revenue are expected to be generated, although there can be no assurance, from several key channels as outlined below.
FACT will be marketed to five (5) main channels with a variety of ancillary packages:
(1) | Financial Markets – Art Insurance & Art Secured Lending | |
(2) | Sales Markets – Auction Houses, Art Dealers, & Gallery Sales | |
(3) | Logistics Markets – Shipping/Transport Companies, Storage facilities, & Ancillary Services | |
(4) | Collectors Market – Private Museums, Institutions & Collectors | |
(5) | Individual Market – Scans at an select FACT location |
FACT is hopeful that it will also have an ancillary channel: Leasing of FACT device and software to clients who want unlimited on demand scans which can be added on any of the above subscription packages.
Each channel will be priced in a different capacity to reflect the service provided to such channel. Revenues are expected from the following areas:
● | Individual scans - Scans for individuals who want one or two time FACT Scans. | |
● | Salesman Package - These are scans that would be purchased by Auction houses, dealers, and gallery owners to verify that the painting is authentic as well as verification in the shipping/logistics process. |
11 |
● | Financial package - Art Insurers and Art Secured Lenders would use FACT to ensure that the painting they are inuring/lending against is not a forgery. In addition, if the painting is held as collateral, the owner can make sure that the painting returned is authenticated. | |
● | Logistics package - Warehouse and Shipping experts who specialize in art would use the FACT system to verify the painting that left point A is the same that arrived at point B. In addition, FACT’s GPS system provides real time location tracking. | |
● | Collectors package - Private museums, Foundations, & Institution Collectors would use the FACT system to authenticate a piece of art that for example was loaned to a museum for an exhibit. |
Operation, General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled $447,374 and $25,585, respectively, representing a 1600% increase. The increases are primarily attributed to expenses related to consulting fees and legal fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Initially, we anticipate the Company will be funded from investors, through the sale of debt or equity securities.
On November 20, 2020, Fact, Inc. the Company and Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and Oasis agreed to purchase $730,000 principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “Note”) for a purchase price of $610,000 which includes a 20% original issue discount and $10,000 of expenses. On November 20, 2020, Oasis funded $250,000 (the “First Tranche”) and the Company in turn agreed to issue to Oasis a note in the principal amount of $310,000. Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company will sell Oasis an additional promissory note in the principal amount of $420,000 and issue an additional note for a purchase price of $350,000 (the “Second Tranche”) upon the Company’s filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company. The maturity date for each of the First Tranche and the Second Tranche is six (6) months from the date on which Oasis funds the respective portion of the Note. The interest rate of the Note is 10% annum. The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 (the “Common Stock”) at the option of the holder. The “Conversion Price” per share shall be the lesser of (i) $2.00 per share and (ii) 65% of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock as reported on the Trading Market during the 30 consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Notice of Conversion.
In addition, in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Oasis 100,000 shares of Common Stock and a five year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 291,775 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $1.10 per share.
On November 20, 2020, the Company and Oasis entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”)”), whereby Oasis has committed to purchase $10,000,000 worth of Common Stock, as requested by the Company (the “Equity Line”). The Company’s ability to draw upon the Equity Line is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement with the SEC and certain other contingencies. The Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with Oasis pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement..
In connection with the EPA, the Company issued to Oasis an aggregate amount of 250,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 100,000 shares will be restricted until Oasis funds at least $1,000,000 under the Equity Line. Purchases made under the EPA will be made at a 15% discount under market price. Market price under the Equity Purchase Agreement is defined as 85% of the lowest traded price during the five consecutive trading days following the date Oasis receives the shares.
12 |
We may raise additional funds through the sale of debt and/or equity in the future.
We anticipate that material expenditures in the next six (6) months will include development costs for the software and the firmware as well purchases of the hardware. The Company estimates that development of the Prototype should cost approximately $500,000 to $700,000 in upfront software and firmware development costs. The Company also anticipates it will require several pieces of hardware, including, but not limited to, an interferometer, scanning arms, vans, computers, monitors, and other related items. The Company anticipates costs of approximately $2,000,000 with associated hard assets. We are in the process of selecting a software development firm to assist us with the prototype.
While we are hopeful that the initial capital expenditures will be covered by investor funds (see the description of the Equity Purchase Agreement above for detailed explanation), ongoing cash flows from operations will fund future expenditures. We anticipate that future expenditures post product launch by the end of the Company’s second quarter ending July 31, 2022, will include normal expenses from operations, including, but not limited to, salaries, R&D, PP&E purchases, and marketing expenses. We anticipate there will be ongoing research and software development as the Company expands into future lines of business such as other collectibles.
Cash flows from operations are expected to commence at the beginning of the Company’s second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2022, slowly increasing at a slight percentage until the end of the Company’s 2022 year end. The Company expects its operations to result in negative net cash flow throughout the Company’s 2022 end. Towards the end of 2022, the Company expects to increase net cash flow due to an anticipated increase in the Company’s expected revenue and a decrease in its expected R&D expenditures for the Company’s fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to the Company’s expected revenue and R&D expenditures, respectively, for the Company’s first quarter ending April 30, 2022. There can be no assurances that the Company will achieve any revenues in 2022.
Cash Flows
For the year ended January 31, 2021, net cash flows used in operating activities were negative as the company entered into contracts to develop the software and there were no associated revenues. As a startup – the product is in development and therefore the company did not recognize any revenue during this time.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Significant Accounting Policies
For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies please refer to Note 3 of the Company’s financial statements included herein.
Revenue Recognition
We adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, and all related interpretations for recognition of our revenue. Previously we recorded revenue based on ASC Topic 605. Adoption of new accounting standard did not have any material impact on our reported revenue.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of January 31, 2021, there were no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At January 31, 2021, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.
Stock-Based Compensation
As of January 31, 2021, the Company has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 718, when applicable. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Use of Estimates
Preparing 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, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
COVID-19
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in late 2019. COVID-19 spread rapidly throughout the world and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person that poses a serious public health risk. It has significantly disrupted supply chains and businesses around the world. The extent and duration of the COVID-19 impact on our operations and financial position is highly uncertain.
Management continues to closely monitor and evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and will take, the necessary actions to right-size the business in this environment, which is evolving daily. Some potential actions include, but are not limited to, modified work schedules as well as appropriate adjustments to the operating expenditures and capital spending plans.
The Company is not able to predict the ultimate impact that COVID -19 will have on its new business; however, if the current economic conditions continue, the Company will be forced to significantly scale back its business operations and its growth plans, and could ultimately have a significant negative impact on the Company.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are 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 in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer, and our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During 2022, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter, (i.e., the year ended January 31, 2021), that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws.
Our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 54,166,680 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 17, 2021. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or persons, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person or persons (and only such person or persons) by reason of these acquisition rights.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TABLE OF CONTENTS
F-1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Fact, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fact, Inc. (“the Company”) as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not earned sufficient revenues from operations, an accumulated deficit, and recurring losses 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Accounting for Embedded Conversion Features on Notes Payable — Refer to Notes 3 and 5 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has issued notes payable during the year with conversion rates that are adjustable at a discounted rate to public trading prices near the conversion date. The terms allow for variable amounts of shares to be converted for a set dollar value; this and other factors require the embedded conversion feature to be accounted for as a derivative and revalued at the conversion date or each period end if still outstanding. Calculations and accounting for the notes payable and embedded conversion features require management’s judgments related to initial and subsequent recognition of the debt and related features, use of a valuation model, and value of the inputs used in the selected valuation model.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for notes payable and related accounts included the following, among others:
● | Confirmation of notes payable and related terms. | |
● | Independent assessment of the appropriate valuation model for derivatives, performing independent calculations based on the model and comparing the Company’s results to a reasonable range as determined during the audit. | |
● | Determining if there were unusual transactions related to notes payable and the appropriate accounting treatment for such transactions. | |
● | Testing of substantially all transactions related to this matter. |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2021 and 2020
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
FACT, Inc (f/k/a Tiburon International Trading, Corp.) was established under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 17, 2017. FACT, Inc was established as a development stage company focusing its business on the verification and authentication of art, sports memorabilia and fine art. The Company has adopted January 31 fiscal year end.
Change of Control
On October 5, 2020, Kryptos Art Technologies, Inc, (“Kryptos”), an Ontario corporation purchased 2,500,000 shares of Tiburon from Yun Cai, who was the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Sole Director of Tiburon. As a result of this sale, Kryptos became the majority shareholder of Tiburon. The shares owned by Kryptos represent approximately 71.87% of Tiburon’s outstanding common stock. The purchase price was $232,467. The funds were funds of Kryptos. Kryptos is controlled by Brian McWilliams.
Mr. McWilliams was appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on October 5, 2020. On October 8, 2020, Kryptos, as the holder of approximately 71% of the voting stock of the Company executed a shareholder consent to effect a name change of the Tiburon to Fact, Inc (“the Company, “FACT”).
Under Mr. McWilliams’ management, the Company is winding down operations of the historic Tiburon business, which has largely been curtailed by prior management because of COVID-19 and lack of capital necessary for expansion of the website and product offerings. Kryptos had been working on a technology designed to detect and eliminate fraud in the art world. Kryptos has assigned all of its technological know-how in this area to the Company which we will pursue as our primary business operations. In connection therewith, the Company has entered into and is negotiating a series of development and consulting agreements with software and hardware developers to complete the development of our products. The Company expects to enter into a license agreement to utilize fraud detection technology in the art area. The Company expects to enter into such license agreement with an award winning forensic ballistic technology company that revolutionized the Criminal Justice system’s approach to ballistics.
Mr. McWilliams has stepped down as CEO, and asked Patricia Trompeter to step in as CEO for an interim.
FACT stands for Forensic Asset Certification Technology. Using white light interferometry, FACT takes a non-destructive 3D digital fingerprint of the art using over 100,000 unique images. These scans, measured at two (2) microns, equal to 1/50th of a human hair, are unable to be reproduced or forged. Scans are compared to one another by a computer algorithm to verify the paintings authenticity. All data is stored securely on the block-chain for real time collection management. We are currently developing a front-end user interface as well as modifying existing ballistics firmware for a comprehensive verification, tracking and reporting system. The company is in development of a scalable prototype (the “Prototype”) for mass deployment to consumer.
We plan to market to various channels in different capacities including, but not limited to, subscription models, leasing models, and individual point of sale models. The fees for our different models will range from a flat fee to a percentage of sales fee. The Company will commence its marketing efforts in the Company’s first fiscal quarter following completion of the Prototype, with the hope that the product may launch the quarter thereafter.
Our products are not yet commercially available and we do not expect them to be commercially available until at least the end of the second quarter ending July 31, 2022, if ever. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:
COVID-19
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in late 2019. COVID-19 spread rapidly throughout the world and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person that poses a serious public health risk. It has significantly disrupted supply chains and businesses around the world. The extent and duration of the COVID-19 impact on our operations and financial position is highly uncertain.
Management continues to closely monitor and evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and will take, the necessary actions to right-size the business in this environment, which is evolving daily. Some potential actions include, but are not limited to, modified work schedules as well as appropriate adjustments to the operating expenditures and capital spending plans.
F-7 |
The Company is not able to predict the ultimate impact that COVID -19 will have on its new business; however, if the current economic conditions continue, the Company will be forced to significantly scale back its business operations and its growth plans, and could ultimately have a significant negative impact on the Company.
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements as of January 31, 2021, been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. As of January 31, 2021, the Company has reoccurring losses from operations and an accumulated deficit of $1,302,708 and has earned no revenues under current operations. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company represents its financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations are historical and not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company, and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions and are primarily in money market funds. As of January 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had $9,945 and $46 in cash and no cash equivalents, respectively.
Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The 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 remeasured 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. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.
F-8 |
Common stock purchase warrants and derivative financial instruments - Common stock purchase warrants and other derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
● | identify the contract with a customer; | |
● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
● | determine the transaction price; | |
● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and | |
● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
During years ended January 31, 2021, and 2020, the following customers represented more than 10% of the company’s sales:
Customer | Year ended January 31, 2021 | Year ended January 31, 2020 | ||||||||||||||
Customer A | $ | - | - | $ | 4,500 | 100 | % | |||||||||
Total concentration | $ | - | - | $ | 4,500 | 100 | % |
Share-Based Compensation
Employees - The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Nonemployees - During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2018-07 early. Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability method is used in the Company’s accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered other than enactment of changes in the tax law or rates.
The Company adopted ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits.
The determination of recording or releasing tax valuation allowance is made, in part, pursuant to an assessment performed by management regarding the likelihood that the Company will generate future taxable income against which benefits of its deferred tax assets may or may not be realized.
F-9 |
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Major additions and improvements are capitalized as additions to the property and equipment accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
● | Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
● | Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and | |
● | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expense, accounts payable, note payable, due to related parties and accrued liabilities, are carried at historical cost. At January 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. See note 5 for the fair value of these derivative liabilities. This valuation technique involves management’s estimates and judgment based on unobservable inputs and is classified in level 3.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.
For the years ended January 31, 2021, and 2020, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.
The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
On November 19, 2020, the Company entered a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) and Equity Purchase Agreement (“EPA”) with a third party. Pursuant to SPA, the Company issued a convertible note payable up to $730,000, bearing 10% annual interest and cash consideration up to $600,000 with maturity date of six months for each tranche payment. The note shall be convertible at the lesser of (i) $2.00 per share and (ii) 65% of the lowest traded price of the common stock as reported on the trading market during the 30 consecutive trading period. During the year ended January 31, 2021, the first tranche of $310,000 was issued. The Oasis note is currently past due as of issuance and we anticipate that there will be penalties associated with this. We expected to incure interest penalties which are to be determined.
On January 8, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note with MRVL Island Ventures LLC in the amount of $50,000. This note is payable on January 31st, 2022. The Conversion price in effect of any conversion day shall be equal lowest price in effect of 75% of the lowers VWAP during the 15 days tradingdays immediately prior top the conversion date. The price shall be appropropriately adjusted for stock splits, dividends, stock combination, reclassification or any similar transaction that proportionately increase or decrease the stock during this period. The interest rate is 8% per year which is payable in cash or kind payable on the maturity date. Late fees are assessed at 16% per nanum at the discretion of MRVL management to waive any fees.
The Company determined that the conversion features, in the convertible notes, met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and therefore bifurcated the embedded conversion options once the notes become convertible and accounted for it as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.
The Company valued the conversion feature using the Black-Scholes Merton pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability for all the note that became convertible during the year ended January 31, 2021 amounted to $498,301, and $145,915 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes while the balance of $352,386 was recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss.
NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The Company accounts for warrants as a derivative liability due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of all conversion options.
ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.
The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes Merton pricing model to calculate the fair value as of January 31, 2021. The Black-Scholes Merton model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes Merton valuation model.
For the years ended January 31, 2021, and 2020, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:
Year Ended | Year Ended | |||||||
January 31, | January 31, | |||||||
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Expected term | 0.30 – 1.06 years | - | ||||||
Expected average volatility | 251% - 1,217 | % | - | |||||
Expected dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.06% - 0.45 | % | - |
The exercise price of the warrants is $1.10.

During the year ended January 31, 2021, 291,775 warrants were granted for a period of five years from issuance, at a price of $1.10 per share. The intrinsic value at January 31, 2021 was $29,178. The Company values the warrants using the Black Scholes model, with appropriate assumptions for warrant life, stock value, risk free interest rate, and volatility.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry-forwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry-forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.
