NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2023
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Shorepower Technologies Inc. (“SPEV” “Shorepower” “the Company”) (formerly United States Basketball League, Inc) was incorporated in Delaware on May 29, 1984, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Meisenheimer Capital, Inc. (“MCI”) for the purpose of developing and managing a professional basketball league, the United States Basketball League (the “League”).
On April 7, 2021, through a series of Stock Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”), the majority owners of the Company, Richard C. Meisenheimer, Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III, James Meisenheimer, Meisenheimer Capital, Inc. and Spectrum Associates, Inc. (the “Sellers”) sold common shares which it held, to a new investor group. The Sellers also sold of SPEV’s preferred stock at a per share price of $ per share to EROP Enterprises, LLC. As a result of the sale of common and preferred stock by the Sellers, the Company experienced a change in control.
World Equity Markets acted in the capacity of a broker/dealer for the Purchase Agreements and was issued shares of common stock for its services, and Verde Capital was issued shares for Consulting Services. Effective April 7, 2021, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III as Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Company. Effective April 7, 2021, Saeb Jannoun was appointed to fill the vacancy following the resignation of Daniel T. Meisenheimer, III as Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Company. Mr. Michael Pruitt also joined the Board.
The Company’s Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Shurepower, LLC d/b/a Shorepower Technologies under which Shorepower was merged with and into SPEV (the “Merger”) was closed on March 22, 2023.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Jeff Kim, the prior CEO of Shurepower, LLC and the current CEO of the Company, now owns 660,000. Mr. Kim has received shares of a Series B Preferred stock and the right to receive the following additional shares of SPEV common stock upon achieving the following milestones: (i) an additional 2.5% of the issued and outstanding SPEV Common Stock upon the completion of either (a) the conversion of 75 existing connection points to Level 2 or greater or the (b) installation of 75 new connection points to revenue producing stations in the first 12 months or some combination of the two yielding 75 units, (ii) an additional 2.5% of the of the issued and outstanding SPEV Common Stock upon (a) the application for $10M in grants and/or the (b) the award of $1.0 million in grants in the first 18 months; (iii) an additional 2.5% of the issued and outstanding SPEV common stock outstanding upon the completion of acquisitions in the first 24 months generating no less than $3.0 million in gross revenues and (iv) an additional 500,000 shares of SPEV common stock upon acquiring or hiring the following key personnel in the first six months after the effective date of the merger: (a) three or more qualified Board members and (b) at least three of the following four individuals having the following qualifications: one sales/marketing person, one grant writer/Government relations person, one technician/maintenance person and one software programmer/engineer. of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. shares of common stock was sold under the Pre-Merger Financing that raised $
We accounted for the Merger transaction as a recapitalization resulting from the acquisition by a non-operating public company that is not a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). This accounting treatment as a recapitalization is consistent with Commission guidance promulgated in staff speeches and the SEC Reporting Manual, Topic 12 on Reverse Acquisitions and Recapitalizations. As such, the transaction is outside the scope of FASB ASC 805. Specifically, the Merger transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization in which the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is determined to be the accounting acquiree, while the entity receiving securities (the legal acquiree) is the accounting acquirer.
Under reverse merger accounting (i.e., recapitalization), historical financial statements of Shurepower, LLC (the legal acquiree, accounting acquirer), are presented with one adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree. That adjustment is required to reflect the capital of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree). Comparative information presented in the consolidated financial statements also is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the legal parent (accounting acquiree).
8 |
As a result of the merger transaction the Company reduced its accumulated deficit and increased its additional paid in capital by approximately $5,872,000.
Effective on the date of closing the merger, Saeb Jannoun and Michael D. Pruitt resigned as directors of the Company, and Mr. Jannoun resigned as the CEO. Jeff Kim was appointed as the sole officer and director.
Effective June 20, 2023, the Company’s name was changed to Shorepower Technologies Inc and its ticker symbol to SPEV.
The Company is a transportation electrification infrastructure manufacturer of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) and electric standby Transport Refrigeration Unit (eTRU) stations. They have 60 operational TSE facilities with over 1,800 individual electrified parking spaces in 31 states. Shorepower’s stations are EPA SmartWay-Verified and CARB-Verified. The Company has headquarters in Hillsboro (Portland Area), Oregon and an office in Detroit, Michigan metro area. Shorepower is a certified minority owned business enterprise (MBE). The Company’s management team is comprised of a group of seasoned individuals with knowledge of technology, transportation and heavy-duty vehicles and nearly two decades working together. Combined, the team has managed over $16 million in government contracts and grant funds to deploy transportation electrification throughout the nation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, as reported in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, have been omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the collectability of receivables, useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, impairment in fair value of goodwill.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The Company periodically assesses if any of the inventory has become obsolete or if the value has fallen below cost. When this occurs, the Company recognizes an expense for inventory write down. Total inventory at August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, was $14,269 and $6,880, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (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 performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company generated revenues from selling power vending stations (charging stations). The Company considers its performance obligations satisfied upon shipment and/or delivery of the purchased products to the customer. The Company evaluates returns from customers purchasing product on a case-by-case basis and generally will issue replacement product in the limited cases of product returns. The Company has no policy requiring cash refunds.
9 |
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenues includes actual product cost, labor, if any, utilities and direct overheard, which is applied on a per unit basis.
Accounts Receivable
Revenues that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized to reduce the amount of receivables to its net realizable value when needed. As of August 31, 2023, management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not required as all amounts are considered to be collectible.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,346,157, with minimal revenue generated. Due to these conditions, it raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – LOAN PAYABLE
As of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, the Company has a loan payable to a third party of $111,395 and $111,395, respectively. The loan is non-interest bearing and due on demand.

NOTE 8 – WARRANTS
On February 17, 2023, the Company sold 660,000. The Warrants are exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share and expire two years from the date of issuance. The warrants are callable by the Company if its common stock trades at $0.75 for at least 20 trading days and at a volume of not less than 30,000 shares per day. Using the fair value calculation, the relative fair value for the warrants was calculated to determine the warrants recorded equity amount of $524,737, which has been accounted for in additional paid in capital. shares of common stock through the purchase of units at a price of $ per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase common stock, for total proceeds of $

In accordance to ASC 815-40, an equity-linked financial instrument can be classified in equity only if it (1) is indexed to the reporting entity’s own stock and (2) meets all other conditions for equity classification. The warrants are classified as equity instruments because a fixed amount of cash is exchanged for a fixed amount of equity.
The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the input of subjective assumptions, the expected life of the warrants, and the expected stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

Expected life (years) | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.78 | % | ||
Expected volatility | 224.92 | % | ||

The expected life of the warrants was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has no historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns for its warrant grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The expected life of awards that vest immediately use the contractual maturity since they are vested when issued.
For stock price volatility, the Company calculated its expected volatility based on the historical closing price of its common stock, par value $ per share. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the warrant at the grant-date.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Each of our principal executive and principal financial officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the relevant period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
