NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Max Sound Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on December 9, 2005, under the name 43010, Inc. The Company’s business operations are focused primarily on developing and launching audio technology software.

Effective March 1, 2011, the Company filed with the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from So Act Network, Inc. to Max Sound Corporation.

On August 9, 2016, the Company moved a level down from OTCQB to OTC Pink Current Information where it is within the continued standards and pricing requirements as found in Section 2 of the OTCQB Eligibility Standards. The Company’s services may re-apply at any time after a price increase to meet all the OTCQB Eligibility Standards to be moved back to the higher OTCQB marketplace.

It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021.

(B) Risks and Uncertainties

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally.

Because COVID-19 infections have been reported throughout the United States, certain federal, state and local governmental authorities have issued stay-at-home orders, proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Additional, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future. As a result, all of our office locations have been closed effective April 1, 2020.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced customer traffic and reduced operations.

(C) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(D) Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents.

(E) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three to five years.

(F) Research and Development

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 350, Intangibles - Goodwill & Other (“ASC Topic 350”). Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be three years. Expenses subsequent to the launch have been expensed as website development expenses.

(G) Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company at times has had cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company had $0 in excess of FDIC insurance limits as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(H) Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

(I) Loss Per Share

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the Company’s net losses, the effects of stock warrants and stock options would be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, is excluded from the computation of earnings per share.

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

The Company’s obligations to issue shares upon conversion of its outstanding convertible notes, the exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of its preferred stock (the “Convertible Instruments”) at current market prices for its common stock exceeds by the 115,109,177,087 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as of the date of this report (the “Potentially Issuable Shares”). While it is uncertain whether the Company would receive requests to issue all of the Potentially Issuable Shares and the number of such shares fluctuates based on the market price of the Company’s common stock, the Company may increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock or effectuate a recapitalization, or a combination of both, in order to make available additional shares of its Common Stock for the Potentially Issuable Shares. Such action would require shareholder approval. Until such time as the Company has a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock for issuance to cover the Potentially Issuable Shares, the Company could be subject to penalties and damages to the holders of the Convertible Instruments in the event it does not deliver the Potentially Issuable Shares upon request by a holder of the Convertible Instruments. Furthermore, the lack of available shares of common stock may be deemed a default under one or more of the Convertible Instruments.

(J) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(K) Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore no segment information is not presented.

(L) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

(M) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts on the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable, derivative liability, convertible note payable, and note payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures.

This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

(N) Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded based on the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

(O) Reclassification

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's net loss or cash flows.

(P) Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. These costs are included in direct operating & occupancy expenses and totaled $7,955 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $7,955 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $83,646,785, stockholders’ deficit of $13,047,309 and working capital deficit of $13,047,309. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

As the Company continues to incur losses, transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful commercialization of its products and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional cash. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public debt or equity offerings. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at June 30, 2021 was not sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations through December 31, 2021 without additional sources of cash. The Company continues to explore various financing alternatives, including debt and equity financings and strategic partnerships, as well as trying to generate revenue. However, at this time, the Company has no commitments to obtain any additional funds, and there can be no assurance such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding and improve its operations, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected, and the Company may not be able to continue operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 DEBT AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Debt consists of the following:

Line of credit - related party

Line of credit with the principal stockholder consisted of the following activity and terms:

(A) Convertible Debt

The line of credit balance and accrued interest as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is $393,908 and $436,373, respectively.

NOTE 6 LITIGATION

On June 1, 2016, the Company was named as a defendant in an action filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles – Central District, captioned Adli Law Group, PC v. Max Sound Corporation (Case No. BC621886). Plaintiff alleges two causes of action for Breach of Contract and a cause of action for Common Counts, all arising out of the Company’s alleged failure to pay for Plaintiff’s legal services. Even though the Company was never served with the Complaint, default was entered against the Company. The Default has been set aside and the Company has responded to the Complaint with an Answer and Cross-Complaint for Breach of Contract, Professional Negligence, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Conversion, and Fraud, due to the fact, that among other things, Adli Law reassigned the Company's primary patent to itself. The parties had begun the discovery phase of the litigation and the Judge had set a status hearing for January 19, 2018. On June 1, 2018, Adli filed a motion for summary judgment on numerous issues.

One issue raised by Adli (at the very end of their motion and in only a single paragraph) was that Max Sound was a forfeited corporation and thus, “is foreclosed from prosecuting any action in California courts.” Adli did not raise this issue before filing its papers. Max Sound’s counsel, SML Avvocati, P.C. had since learned that the California Franchise Tax Board contended that Max Sound owed back taxes, hence the forfeiture. Max Sound hired a CPA tax specialist to assist with paying its outstanding taxes which the state finally agreed were approximately $8,000 instead of the $340,000 the state had arbitrarily wrongly calculated and the Company sought to obtain a revivor to cure its forfeited status and thus be able to regain its ability to both defend itself in this action and prosecute its counterclaims.

However, despite working diligently with the hope of resolving this issue before the summary judgment motion hearing set for September 6, 2018, Max Sound had not resolved its issues with the state of California and had not yet obtained a revivor. As a result of this issue and glaring mistakes by the Company’s Counsel SML Avvocati, Max Sound had to respectfully request that the court grant a stay in the proceedings until Max Sound was able to obtain a revivor or, in the alternative, a continuance of all proceedings. A stay or continuance was necessary because Max Sound’s counsel would not be able to respond to the pending summary judgment motion (or any other substantive proceeding), and Max Sound would be unable to defend itself against this action or prosecute its cross-complaint until Max Sound’s forfeited status was cured. The court provided a summary default judgment in favor of Adli one day before Max Sound obtained a revivor.

In response, the Company hired Klapach & Klapach, P.C. who filed an application for an extension to file an opening brief. The extension was granted, and the opening brief was filed April 26, 2019. Adli responded with a Respondent Brief, Appendix and Motion to Augment. Max Sound’s counsel filed a reply brief.

In the conclusion of the brief, Max Sound’s counsel Mr. Klapach stated:

“The trial court committed error in granting summary judgment in the Adli Firm’s favor. Based on the Adli Firm’s own evidence, there were triable issues of fact regarding the Adli Firm’s claims for unpaid fees. With respect to the Steele Litigation, nearly all of the unpaid invoices that the Adli Firm sought to recover were for legal services that were separately billed to Mr. Trammell for Mr. Trammell, Mr. Wolff, and Audio Genesis’s defense. The record also reflects that Dr. Adli orally agreed to look solely to Mr. Trammell and Mr. Wolff for payment of the Adli Firm’s fees. With respect to the patent prosecution representation, triable issues of fact existed as to whether the Adli Firm’s admitted error in identifying itself – instead of Max Sound – as the assignee of the MAXD patent was a material breach that excused Max Sound’s performance and/or entitled Max Sound to set off. With respect to the Cross-Complaint, the trial court erred in concluding that Max Sound lacked the capacity to sue when Max Sound had presented the court with a Certificate of Revivor prior to the summary judgment hearing. The trial court also erred in refusing to grant Max Sound a short continuance so that it could pay its outstanding taxes and obtain a Certificate of Revivor.”

No assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or their effect on the Company however the Company is confident it will receive a reversal in of the Summary Judgment and ultimately succeed in its cross complaint against the Adli Firm.

NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the principal stockholder has advanced $3,600 and was repaid $9,953 under the terms of the line of credit.

MAX-D has just recently completed the expanded transaction with its Zimbabwean partner, Hende Moto (PVT) Ltd, whose previously reported acquisition and not yet valued assets related to, among other things, the super car and other paradigm-shifting technologies in the future developed in large part by what can be referred to as Zimbabwean brilliance and marketplace innovators.

Also central to the improved transaction, MAX-D has begun the process of software expansion for what it believes will soon be considered one of the most comprehensive Elemental Databases in the world, if not the most.

This Database creates precise locations of the significant majority of available precious minerals, metals, gemstones, rare earth minerals, IOCG, waterways, tributaries and energetic elements found in nature throughout the most available earth soils in Africa and later the rest of the world.

The company has yet to value the assets pursuant to upcoming accounting requirements of fully reporting enterprises in the capital markets. Prospective investors are encouraged to study the available values of such highly pursued resources that factor current and future tangible values in the hundreds of trillions of dollars and later much more. Refer to Risk Factors within this filing.

The Company intends to provide extensive additional details in Quarter 3, with greatly anticipated expansion of MAX-D's market equity values connected to the company’s highly anticipated and soon its significant emergence in these fields, particularly its acquisition of the specific rights mentioned herein within the African Nation of Zimbabwe, as well as its 2021 emerging businesses in paradigm shifting energy sources expected to be featured in the Hende Beluga Super Car. Also, launching in Quarter 3, MAX-D Cloud Player, Native App, API and Pro Studio, among several other technological breakthroughs of epic proportions.

CONSUMERS WANT BETTER AUDIO

Consumers have unknowingly sacrificed better audio quality for portable convenience.

Throughout history, we have attempted to capture, enhance and reproduce audio. During past century almost every generation has used a different audio delivery system and player reproduce audio. Some advancements in "Audio" were superior and some were sub-par, most were more convenient but often had inferior quality.

The most commonly used digital audio file today is an MP3. The general population has sacrificed the audio quality for convenience.

MAX-D DELIVERY & IMPLEMENTATION

The MAX-D process is the ONLY true dynamic process with the ability to deliver Pure HD Audio on existing hardware in real time. MAX-D consumers have the ability to “customize” their playback - as everyone wants to hear their audio differently.

The MAX-D process is available in four different versions, they are:

1. MAX-D Cloud Player

2. MAX-D Smart Phone App

3. API (Application Program Interface)

4. MAX-D Software Program

MAX-D Cloud Player - The MAX-D Cloud Player is a full featured version of the MAX-D Technology that can be implemented on any streaming service, or online platform in a very short amount of time, with very little coding or development required. This allows MAX-D partners to quickly adopt MAX-D HD Audio with no hassle.

MAX-D Smart Phone App - The MAX-D APP is used on a Smartphone with a least a 1 GHz processor. Android and iOS versions will be available in the very near future. The APP is a full-featured player with all the controls you would expect.

Plan of Operation

We began our operations on October 8, 2008, when we purchased the Form 10 Company from the previous owners. Since that date, we have conducted financings to raise initial start-up money for the building of our internet search engine and social networking website and to start our operations. In 2011, the Company shifted the focus of its business operations from their social networking website to the marketing of the Max Sound HD Audio Technology and in 2014 the Company began litigations against Google and others for infringement of its technologies and associated legal rights to the various proprietary technologies.

The Company believes that Max Sound HD Audio Technology is a game changer for several vertical markets whose demand will create revenue opportunities in 2021.

On March 4, 2021, the Company signed a 10-year exclusive licensing agreement with TIP Solutions (Licensee) to implement the MAXD HD Audio Source Code into their mobile phone app and platforms. The Licensee was granted an exclusive license of MAX-D HD audio technology for an annual payment of $100,000 or $25,000 paid quarterly for up to 10 years.

The agreement also calls for a license fee split in the event the following occurs:

On March 9, 2021, the Company received a $100,000 payment from the Licensee.

On March 23, 2021, the Company signed a 10-year exclusive licensing agreement with Formula 4 Protocol (Licensee) to implement the MAXD HD Audio Source Code into their mobile phone app and platforms. The Licensee was granted an exclusive license of MAX-D HD audio technology for an annual payment of $100,000 or $25,000 paid quarterly for up to 10 years.

The agreement also calls for a license fee split in the event the following occurs:

On March 23, 2021, the Company received a $150,000 payment from the Licensee.

We expect our financial requirements to increase with the additional expenses needed to market and promote the MAX-D HD Audio Technology. We plan to fund these additional expenses through financings and through loans from our stockholders and/or officers based on existing lines of credit and we are also considering various private funding opportunities until such time that our revenue stream is adequate enough to provide the necessary funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $251,000 and $0, respectively.

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of revenues from our subscriber base and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses from inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

From our inception through June 30, 2021, our primary source of funds has been the proceeds of private offerings of our common stock, private financing, and loans from stockholders. Our need to obtain capital from outside investors is expected to continue until we are able to achieve profitable operations, if ever.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Use of Estimates:

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition:

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;(2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

We had $251,000 and $0 in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation:

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets, such as technology rights, be reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including the eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of an asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities”.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
