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 typically estimated on the grant date using the (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. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through Basanite Industries, LLC. Basalt America, LLC is currently inactive. (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 (D) Inventories The Company’s 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.
