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 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no such valuations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021: Schedule of Fair Value Assumptions Nine months Nine months ended ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 (Unaudited) Expected price volatility 144.21 145.73 N/A Risk-free interest rate 2.55 4.21 N/A Expected life in years 5 N/A Dividend yield — N/A (B) Principles of Consolidation The condensed 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 lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Raw materials inventory consists of basalt fiber and other necessary elements to produce BasaFlex™ rebar and our other products. 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. The Company’s inventory at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was comprised of: Schedule of Inventories September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 (Unaudited) Finished goods $ 21,061 $ 328,229 Work in process 83,141 35,213 Raw materials 155,696 351,213 Other inventory 23,659 — Total Inventory $ 283,557 $ 714,655 (E) Fixed assets Fixed assets consist of the following: Schedule of Fixed Assets September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 (Unaudited) Computer equipment $ 199,704 $ 133,654 Machinery 728,245 717,437 Leasehold improvements 170,452 166,252 Office furniture and equipment 71,292 71,292 Land improvements 7,270 7,270 Website development 2,500 2,500 Construction in process 2,208,404 2,408,986 3,387,867 3,507,391 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (371,236 ) (270,566 ) $ 3,016,631 $ 3,236,825 Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $ 33,919 100,670 32,430 96,355 (F) Deposits and other current assets The Company’s 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. (G) Loss Per Share The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s 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 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. Schedule of Dilutive Shares Not Included in Loss Per Share Computation September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 (Unaudited) Options 1,727,778 4,227,778 Warrants 140,055,757 138,191,666 Convertible securities 8,016,068 6,970,063 Total 149,799,603 149,389,507 (H) 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. (I) Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The timing of revenue recognition largely is dependent on shipping terms. Revenue is recorded at the time of shipment for terms designated free on board (“FOB”) shipping point. For sales transactions designated FOB destination, revenue is recorded when the product is delivered to the customer’s delivery site. All revenues recognized are net of trade allowances, cash discounts, and sales returns. Trade allowances are based on the estimated obligations. Adjustments to earnings resulting from revisions to estimates on discounts and returns have been immaterial for each of the reported periods. Shipping and handling amounts billed to a customer as part of a sales transaction are included in revenues, and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling are treated as fulfillment activities, rather than promised services, and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred shipping and handling costs in the amount of $ 40,254 0 |
