SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (A) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 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. Stock-based compensation and stock awards related to convertible debt instruments are recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of each award or conversion feature is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock awards represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent (B) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basanite, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Basanite Industries, LLC and Basalt America, LLC, formerly known as Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Raw materials inventory consists primarily of basalt fiber and other necessary elements to produce the basalt rebar. On a quarterly basis, the Company analyzes its inventory levels and records allowances for inventory that has become obsolete and inventory that has a cost basis in excess of the expected net realizable value. An impairment charge due to cost basis in excess of fair market value in the amount of $ 0 1,535,356 The Company’s inventory at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was comprised of: Schedule of Inventories December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Finished goods $ — $ 328,229 Work in process — 35,213 Raw materials and supplies — 351,213 Total inventory $ — $ 714,655 (E) Fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at cost, subject to adjustments for impairment, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using a straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Schedule of Depreciation and Amortization Periods for Fixed Assets Computer equipment 3 years Machinery 7 years Leasehold improvements 15 years or lease term Office furniture and equipment 5 years Land improvements 15 years Website development 3 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred, and improvements to leased facilities and equipment are capitalized.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the construction in process related to the custom machines should be fully impaired due to the uncertainty as to if or when the machines would be received.

The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The following are potentially dilutive shares not included in the loss per share computation: Schedule of Dilutive Shares Not Included in Loss Per Share Computation December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Options 1,477,778 4,227,778 Warrants 139,555,757 138,191,666 Convertible shares 8,016,068 6,970,063 148,003,598 149,389,507 (J) Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic 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.
