Signet International Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
Signet International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company’s current principal business plan is to focus in developing advanced technologies, energy solutions and medical devices. The Company has no operating history yet.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $323,908 and $131,764, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and had no revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,823,655 as of September 30, 2020. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. Currently, management is seeking capital to implement its business plan. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited condensed notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Registration of Securities on Form 10-12G, for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 14, 2020. The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its three wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All wholly owned subsidiaries were inactive subsidiaries at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of equity-based instruments issued for other than cash, valuation of right-of-use assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Risks and uncertainties for development stage company
The Company is considered to be in an early stage since we have not commenced planned principal operations. Our activities since inception include devoting substantially all of the Company’s efforts to business planning and development. Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment to the completion of the Company’s development activities to launch its marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. The Company has not yet generated revenue from operations. The Company’s activities during this early stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. |
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including prepaid expense, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued salaries are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, "Share-Based Payment," which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to non-employees for goods and services, and to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values.
Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company's determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of highly subjective variables.
The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for employee stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.
Net loss per share of common stock
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. On September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had 50,000,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding related to Series A Preferred Stock. Those potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net losses.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Long-lived assets,” which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. During calendar year year 2017, the Company impaired the total values of various literary rights. Management believes the impaired literary rights have value to the Company and will continue to market these rights.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies
Operating lease
In January 2018, the Company entered into a one-year sub-lease agreement related to its leased office facilities in Palm Beach, FL with the CEO of the Company. The lease shall automatically be extended for successive one-year renewal terms not to exceed 5 annual renewal terms in total unless the landlord or tenant gives a written notice of non-renewal on or before 30 days prior to expiration of the term. The lease currently requires monthly payments of approximately $1,136 plus sales tax and the Company is not responsible for any additional charges for common area maintenance. The monthly rent will increase by 2% at the end of each year.
In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets of $45,645 and total lease liabilities of $45,645 based on an incremental borrowing rate of 12%. For the respective nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we paid an aggregate of $11,325 and $8,888 for rent under this agreement, respectively.

Overview
Signet International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware as 51142, Inc. The Company changed its corporate name to Signet International Holdings, Inc. in conjunction with the September 8, 2005 transaction discussed below.
On September 8, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange (Agreement) by and among Signet International Holdings, Inc. (Signet); Signet Entertainment Corporation (SIG) and the shareholders of SIG (Shareholders) (collectively SIG and the SIG shareholders shall be known as the “SIG Group”), Signet acquired 100.0% of the then issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of SIG for a total of 3,421,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares of Signet’s stock issued to the SIG Group. Pursuant to the agreement, SIG became a wholly owned subsidiary of Signet.
Signet Entertainment Corporation was incorporated on October 17, 2003 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida. SIG was formed to establish a television network “The Gaming and Entertainment Network”. To date, this effort has been incomplete. The Company has abandoned pursuant of any gaming or entertainment operations. The Company’s current principal business plan is to focus in developing advanced technologies, energy solutions and medical devices. By utilizing sub licensing arrangements for the intellectual property licenses, we acquire, our strategy is focused on identifying strategic partners that can develop and market products based on the underlying technologies. We do not claim to have expertise in the various intellectual properties we seek to acquire. Instead, our value is based on our ability to assess technologies and appropriate partners for the commercialization of products and process based on the underlying intellectual property. Research and development of the underly technologies is being performed at major universities in Florida. The development of a commercial products will be conducted by our strategic partners.
On February 28, 2018, the Company redomiciled in the state of Nevada.
In determining whether we will pursue any particular intellectual property we have engaged outside consulting scientists to evaluate the viability of the underlying technology and its commercial viability. We do not have a set metric for determining the viability. We rely solely on the expertise of our consultants. These consultants hold certain expertise in the specific field related to the underlying technology. These include 3 consultants for graphene applications, an engineer in magnetic energy, and two consultants specializing in negotiating terms with universities and public institutions. All consultants have agreed to receive compensation in the form of common stock.
As we approach the fourth quarter of 2020, we are pleased with the progress we have made. We have accomplished each phase of our growth and we have remained consistent with our responsibilities.
Our status as an emerging growth public company is materializing before us. We have engaged a new scientist to support our efforts to help further develop out technologies and interact with the several universities with whom we have option contracts to license certain patents. We hear from other universities on a regular basis that tells us we are welcome to the fraternity of research scientists, engineers, and inventors. We have increased efforts to create more awareness of our presence by engaging a social media specialist who will keep the public informed of all our progress and assist us with shareholders relations. Our team is growing and meeting our needs.
Generally, the option fee ranges from $1,200 to $5,000. We have exercise two of our options related to the graphene technology and battery technology. On October 30, 2020, we have entered into exclusive licensing agreements with the licensor related to the graphene technology and battery technology as described in Note 7 in our unaudited financial statement for the period ended September 30, 2020.
12
Since all of the technologies we have options to license are trending, unique, and further advanced than any others we know of on the market today, we must maintain our edge and seek constant improvement to stay viable—and we are doing just that.
Because of our efforts, we have our path laid out before us. Last year´s strategy allowed us to take the proper steps to arrive at this juncture. We are now proudly holding ourselves out to the world as a viable and worthy consortium from which multinationals can acquire advanced, patented technology. Although our technologies may necessitate some retooling and possibly an avant-garde approach in implementing, we feel that in considering the alternative technologies presently available, ours is the superior choice.
We have completed these efforts to identify and locate a niche, function, and purpose for all our products. Inasmuch as our products are ‘green’ in nature and innovative in design, we feel these technologies can easily be integrated into daily life to the benefit of all. We all will see great progress and never to look back.
Although our business plan is highly dependent upon our usage of licensed intellectual property described herein, we have yet to secure formal licensing terms. Currently, the Company has non-exclusive options for licenses of various intellectual properties except for the two of our option agreements which are the graphene and battery technology. Five of our options may expire, and we cannot ensure that these options will be renewed. As they are non-exclusive, we also have no way to protect ourselves from other parties utilizing the underlying intellectual property before we exercise our option and move toward commercialization of the underlying technology. We further have not entered into formal negotiations on these five options regarding the terms of a formal licensing agreement, such as, but not limited to, royalty fees, minimum royalties, duration, exclusivity, funding requirements, or limitations on use. This limits our ability to determine the commercial viability of any given technology. However, we believe that we have had and continue to have good working relationships with the institutions owning the intellectual property such that our eventual use of the intellectual property will be formulated in a manner that ensures positive growth for the Company. On October 30, 2020, we have exercised our two options and entered into exclusive licensing agreements with the licensor related to the graphene technology and battery technology as described in Note 7 in our unaudited financial statement for the period ended September 30, 2020.
Plan of Operations
The Company plans to continue to work research and development based on the option to license intellectual properties and to expand our portfolio of intellectual property and products.
As we approach the fourth quarter of 2020, we are pleased with the progress we have made. We have accomplished each phase of our growth and we have remained consistent with our responsibilities.
Our status as an emerging growth public company is materializing before us. We have engaged a new scientist to help further develop out technologies and interact with the several universities with whom we have contracts. We hear from other universities on a regular basis that tells us we are welcome to the fraternity of research scientists, engineers, and inventors. We have increased efforts to create more awareness of our presence by engaging a social media specialist who will keep the public informed of all our progress and assist us with shareholders relations. Our team is growing and meeting our needs.
As a reporting company, we have engaged an SEC legal counsel to guide us through the labyrinth of compliance and the next steps to up-listing. We have also retained our patent counsel to advise and instruct us on strategy and enhancement of our patent rights, protecting us not only domestically but also worldwide.
Since all of our technologies are trending, unique, and further advanced than any others we know of on the market today, we must maintain our edge and seek constant improvement to stay viable—and we are doing just that.
Because of our efforts, we have our path laid out before us. Last year´s strategy allowed us to take the proper steps to arrive at this juncture.

Inasmuch as our products are ‘green’ in nature and innovative in design, we feel these technologies can easily be integrated into daily life to the benefit of all. We all will see great progress and never to look back.
We do not currently own or have the right to intellectual property described herein, nor have we developed any products based on said technology. Instead, we have options that provide us limited access to the intellectual property through the option to license. However, we do continue to develop products derived from the intellectual property to be further developed upon securing more formal rights to the intellectual property.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. As of the date of this report, our business remains open. At this time, we do not foresee any material changes to our operations from COVID-19. While we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if our business must close. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our products and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

Net Loss:
The Company’s net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $41,470 and $32,074, respectively. The Company’s net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $323,908 and $72,741, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had total current assets of $126,296, which primarily consisted of cash of $125,914 and prepaid expenses of $382. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had total current assets of $148,293, which primarily consisted of cash of $106,661, prepaid expenses of $16,632 and subscription receivable of $25,000.
As of September 30, 2020, we had a working capital surplus of $87,744 as compared to a working capital deficit of $342,442 as of December 31, 2019. In 2020, the Company reduced total accrued salary by $460,952 to our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the issuance of 829,721 shares of common stock valued at $94,422 and $366,530 of contributed capital from the forgiveness of accrued salaries in January 2020 thereby eliminating the accrued salary due to officer and thereby reduced the working capital deficit.
The Company will have additional capital requirements during calendar year 2020. Currently, the Company does not have any revenue generating business operations, nor does the Company currently have the capital resources required to execute its business strategy. Therefore, the Company will attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities.
The Company cannot assure that we will have sufficient capital to finance our growth and/or business operations or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. The Company is currently incurring operating losses that are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received total proceeds of $126,017 from sale of common stock and collected $25,000 of subscription receivable which were used for working capital purposes. We have incurred legal, accounting, consulting, rent and office expense during our operations.
We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future. If we require additional capital, we would have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.
Going Concern Consideration
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $323,908 and $131,764, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and had no revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,823,655 at September 30, 2020. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report.
14
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. Currently, management is seeking capital to implement its business plan. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

We currently have no external sources of liquidity, such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital. We expect to require additional financing to fund our current operations for calendar year 2020. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.
If we are unable to raise the funds required to fund our operations, we will seek alternative financing through other means, such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
15
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of equity-based instruments issued for other than cash, valuation of right-of-use assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
|
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
|
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
|
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, "Share-Based Payment," which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to non-employees for goods and services, and to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values,
Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company's determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of highly subjective variables.
The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for employee stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards which are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Cash Requirements
Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our business strategy for much more than 12 months. At the date hereof, we have minimal cash at hand. We require additional capital to implement our business and fund our operations.
Since inception we have funded our operations primarily through equity financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our operations through the equity and debt financing, either alone or through strategic alliances. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We intend to continue to fund our business by way of equity or debt financing until natural revenues can support the Company. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we are required to reduce the scope of our business development activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you will lose all of your investment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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 is material to our stockholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of September 30, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting:
(1) | the lack of multiples levels of management review on complex accounting and financial reporting issues, and business transactions, | |
(2) | a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function as a result of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel and implementation of accounting systems, and | |
(3) | a lack of operational controls |
17
We expect to be materially dependent upon third parties to provide us with accounting consulting services related to accounting services for the foreseeable future. We believe this will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses related to our accounting discussed above. Until such time as we have a chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures will not result in errors in our consolidated financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
18
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
