Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices | Note 2 - Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices Basis of Presentation and principles of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and in accordance with Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 consist of the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and related notes, and accordingly do not reflect the acquisition of our new wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Bistro, which was consummated on April 20, 2020, as more fully disclosed in Note 13. Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation 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, 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. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation of debt discounts. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassified amounts have no impact on the Company's previously reported financial position or results of operations. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company's account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. Fair value of financial instruments The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued salaries and related payroll liabilities, and convertible notes payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Inventory The Company values inventory, consisting of finished goods and raw materials, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in and first-out ("FIFO") method. The Company reduces inventory for the diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value. Factors utilized in the determination of the estimated net realizable value include (i) estimates of future demand, and (ii) competitive pricing pressures. The Company recorded inventory write-off and spoilage of $14,309 and $0 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of 3 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired, or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations. Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 and the related amendments Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are shipped or delivered to the customer, which is when the customer has title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment or delivery of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Cost of Sales The primary components of cost of sales include the cost of the product, production costs, warehouse storage costs and shipping fees. Research and development Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company's products are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, research and development costs were $70,930 and $4,727, respectively. Shipping and Handling Costs The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with ASC 606. While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs of shipping products to customers are classified in selling and marketing expenses as incurred. Shipping costs included in selling and marketing expenses were $3,090 and $1,500 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising Costs The Company applies ASC 720 "Other Expenses" to account for advertising related costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses the advertising costs the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs were $48,690 and $13,089 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and was included in selling and marketing expenses. Stock-based compensation Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Through March 31, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions were expected to be met. Using a Black Scholes valuation model, the Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee options until service conditions were met, which generally aligned with the vesting period of the options, and the Company adjusted the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 which did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company's assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Operating lease right of use assets ("ROU") assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASC 740-10"), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized. The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits. The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, "Definition of Settlement", which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset's estimated fair value and its book value. The Company recorded impairment expense of $24,899 and $0 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company impaired the net book value of $24,899 related to equipment used for the production of the ready to drink tea beverage as the Company has shifted its focus on the product development of the Company's Keto complete meal beverage and was included in general and administrative expenses as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Basic and diluted net loss per share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss. The following were the computation of diluted shares outstanding and in periods where the Company has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded. December 31, December 31, Common stock equivalents: Stock options 1,940,000 1,940,000 Convertible notes payable 26,125,000 - Convertible Preferred Stock 267,250,000 111,000,000 Total 295,315,000 112,940,000 Recent accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods and is applied retrospectively. The Company elected to apply the transition provisions as of January 1, 2019, the date of adoption, and recorded lease ROU assets and related liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet related to our operating leases. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260)". The amendments in the update change the classification of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features would be subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement as of fiscal 2017 and applied it to the convertible notes payable issued in March and May of 2019 that include down round features. During the year ended December 31, 2019, a down round feature present in a convertible note payable and convertible preferred stock was triggered (see Notes 7 and 8). In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company's adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on its accounting and disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements", which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on its accounting and disclosures. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. |
