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 uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. (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. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. (C) Cash The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit with financial institutions in the United States, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to $250,000. The Company's credit risk in the event of failure of these financial institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors the financial institutions credit worthiness in conjunction with balances on deposit to minimize risk. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. (D) Inventories The Companys inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, both purchased and manufactured. 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. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a loss related to obsolete inventory in the amount of $33,062. No impairment charge or loss due to obsolescence were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Companys inventory at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was comprised of: December 31, December 31, 2019 Finished goods $ 305,550 $ 47,462 Work in process 35,286 Raw materials 105,739 112,010 Total inventory $ 446,575 $ 159,472 (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: 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. Fixed assets consist of the following: December 31, December 31, 2019 Computer equipment $ 15,780 $ 7,268 Machinery 667,536 578,347 Leasehold improvements 161,579 137,217 Office furniture and equipment 71,292 62,926 Land improvements 7,270 7,270 Website development 2,500 27,275 Construction in process 234,950 Total fixed assets 1,160,907 820,303 Accumulated depreciation (140,872 ) (48,307 ) Total fixed assets, net $ 1,020,035 $ 771,996 Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $117,340 compared to $17,143 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Companys long-lived 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 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. (F) Deposits and other current assets The Companys deposits and other current assets consist of the deposits made on equipment, security deposits, utility deposits and other receivables. The deposits are reclassified as part of the fixed asset cost when received and placed into service. The Company reclassified $31,173 of deposits from December 31, 2019 into machinery during the year ended December 31, 2020. (G) Accrued expenses The Companys accrued expenses consist of the following: December 31, December 31, 2019 Accrued payroll and taxes $ 76,031 $ 321,328 Accrued interest 88,147 98,091 Credit cards payable 4,752 49,715 Other accrued expenses 28,420 20,045 Total accrued expenses $ 197,350 $ 489,179 (H) Accrued legal liabilities The Companys accrued legal liabilities consist of the following: December 31, December 31, 2019 Accrued consulting fees $ 315,000 $ 315,000 Judgement payable 388,867 388,867 Accrued interest on judgement 105,260 86,739 Total accrued legal liability $ 809,127 $ 790,606 (I) Loss Per Share The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Companys 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: December 31, December 31, 2019 Options 4,542,500 5,042,500 Warrants 38,920,378 29,849,761 Convertible shares 112,233,406 984,014 155,696,284 35,876,275 (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. 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 grant. The Company entered into a consulting agreement on July 9, 2020 for services in exchange for restricted common stock as compensation for the consulting services. The term of the agreement is for six months with the option for renewal quarterly. Upon execution of the agreement, 600,000 shares were due within 5 days of execution. The execution date fair value of the shares was $0.29 per share or $174,000. The Company recognized $165,590 in stock-based compensation as of December 31, 2020 as a result with the remainder in prepaid expense. If the Company agrees to renew each quarter, an additional 350,000 shares are to be issued per quarter. On January 9, 2021, the Company agreed to renew another quarter and issued 350,000 restricted common shares. The Company entered into a consulting agreement on October 13, 2020 for services in exchange for restricted common stock as compensation for the consulting services. The term of the agreement is for six months with the option for renewal quarterly. Upon execution of the agreement, no shares were due to be issued. If the Company agrees to renew each quarter, 250,000 shares are to be issued per quarter. On January 9, 2021, the Company agreed to renew another quarter and issued 250,000 restricted common shares. The Company used the Black Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the warrants and options issued, using the following key assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: 2020 2019 Expected price volatility 118.66 - 152.63 % Risk-free interest rate 2.32 - 2.41 % Expected life in years 4 - 10 Dividend yield (K) Income Taxes The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to its history of net operating losses. The provision for income taxes was calculated as a result of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Federal tax at statutory rate $ (743 ) $ (823 ) State taxes, net of federal income tax benefit (171 ) Change of valuation allowance 731 987 Non-deductible expenses and other 12 7 Provision for income tax $ $ The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 4,413 $ 3,610 Accruals and allowances 34 10 Stock-based compensation 1,070 1,059 Total deferred tax assets 5,517 4,679 Valuation allowance (5,517 ) (4,679 ) Total deferred tax assets net of valuation allowance Deferred tax liabilities: Property, equipment and intangible assets (180 ) (57 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (180 ) (57 ) Valuation allowance 180 57 Total deferred tax liabilities net of valuation allowance Net deferred tax assets $ $ As of December 31, 2020, the Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $5.3 million related to federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $21.0 million. The amount of the valuation allowance represented an increase of approximately $0.7 million over the amount recorded as of December 31, 2019 and was due to the increase in net operating losses. If not utilized, federal net operating losses of $8.0 million may be carried forward indefinitely, and $13 million will expire at various times between 2031 and 2037. State net operating losses follow the federal tax laws for NOLs. Management has evaluated all other tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements and determined the Company had no uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2020. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and Florida state tax examinations for certain years after 2018. |
