NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of ILUS and all of its majority - owned or controlled subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Further, while preparing consolidated financial statements, all the U.S. GAAP principles of consolidation have been followed and non-controlling interest have been recorded separately in the Consolidated Balance sheets.
The following companies are consolidated on the basis of Mergers & Acquisitions:
| 2. | Firebug Mechanical Equipment LLC |
| 3. | Bull Head products Inc. |
| 4. | Georgia Fire & Rescue supply LLC |
| 5. | Bright Concept and protection System LLC |
| 6. | Quality Industrial Corp. |
| 7. | AL Shola Al Modea Safety and Security LLC |
| 8. | Hyperion Defense Solutions |
Use of estimates
A critical accounting estimate is an estimate that: (i) is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) involves a significant level of estimation uncertainty and (iii) has had or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates and updates its estimates. Management employs judgment in making its estimates but they are based on historical experience and currently available information and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that its judgment is applied consistently and produces financial information that fairly depicts the results of operations for all periods presented.
Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition of Contract based revenue, allowances for uncollectible accounts, and the valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
| ● | Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. |
| ● | Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments. |
| ● | Level 3. Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).
The principal activity of the Company is to engage in general trading, manufacturing and fabrication or steel and steel products and mainly manufacturing of pressure vessels, tanks, heat exchangers and construction of storage tanks and piping. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.
Construction contracts
Construction contract revenue and contract costs are recognized as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably. The percentage of completion method of accounting requires the reporting of revenues and expenses on a yearly basis, as determined by the percentage of the contract that has been fulfilled. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion of the costs incurred to date.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable and contracts costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred. An expected loss on the construction contract is recognized as an expense immediately when it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue.
The Company principally operates fixed price contracts. If the outcome of such a contract can be reliably measured, revenue associated with the construction contract is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at year end (the percentage of completion method).
The outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably when:
| ● | the total contract revenue can be measured reliably; |
| ● | it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the entity; |
| ● | the costs to complete the contract and the stage of completion can be measured reliably; and |
| ● | the contract costs attributable to the contract can be clearly identified and measured reliably so that actual contract costs incurred can be compared with prior estimates. When the outcome of a construction cannot be estimated reliably (principally during early stages of a contract), contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable. |
In applying the percentage of completion method, revenue recognized corresponds to the total contract revenue (as defined below) multiplied by the actual completion rate based on the proportion of total contract costs (as defined below) incurred to date over the total estimated contract costs.
Contract revenue corresponds to the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue, and they are capable of being reliably measured.
Contract costs include costs that relate directly to the specific contract and costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract.
The Company’s contracts are typically negotiated for the construction of a single asset or a group of assets which are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology, and function. In certain circumstances, the percentage of completion method is applied to the separately identifiable components of a single contract or to a group of contracts together in order to reflect the substance of a contract or a group of contracts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at face value less an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is an estimate based on historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of its customers and all other forward-looking information that is reasonably available to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future and before recording the appropriate provision.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivables are charged off against the allowances when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.
Stock Based Compensation
When applicable, the Company will account for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stocks, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.
In accordance with ASC 718, the company will generally apply the same guidance to both employee and nonemployee share-based awards. However, the company will also follow specific guidance for share-based awards to nonemployees related to the attribution of compensation cost and the inputs to the option-pricing model for expected term. Nonemployee share-based payment equity awards are measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments, similar to employee share-based payment equity awards.
The Company calculate the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Binomial pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeiture” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant. The Company estimates forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expenses for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns. The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive.
Organization and Offering Cost
The Company has a policy to expense organization and offering costs as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time to time exceed the federally insured limit.
Business segment
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” requires use of the “management approach” model for segments reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. A Division overview presented in the Management Discussion and analysis filed with this form 10-Q.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases with escalation clauses and rent holidays on a straight-line basis in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, “Lease”. The deferred rent expenses liability associated with future lease commitments was reported under the caption “Other long-term obligation” on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company has Lease arrangement for which the liability has been recorded separately. Such Lease arrangements corresponds to the operating subsidiary QIND.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include, if any, the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate.
The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company’s subsidiary, Quality International, has entered into commercial leases of land for offices, manufacturing yards and storage facilities. These leases generally have a lease term of 25 years. The Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. There are no restrictions placed upon the Company by entering into these leases. The Company also has leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases with low value.
The Company has a Lease arrangement for which the liability has been recorded separately. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease liability and corresponding right of use (ROU) asset are recognized for qualifying leased assets based on the present value of fixed and certain index-based lease payments at lease commencement.
The Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. There are no restrictions placed upon the Company by entering into these leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception and recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability based on the present value of fixed, and certain index-based lease payments at the lease commencement date. Variable payments are excluded from the present value of lease payments and are recognized in the period in which the payment is made.
The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for measuring its lease liabilities, as the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to certain lessor specific information. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not have significant finance leases. The Company has elected not to separate payments for lease components from payments for non-lease components for all classes of leases. Additionally, the Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, which means ROU assets and lease liabilities will not be recognized for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.
When accounting for finance leases in accordance with ASC 842, entity recognizes interest on the lease liability and amortization of the ROU asset in the income statement and classify payments of the principal portion of the lease liability as financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability as operating activities.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company accounts for leases with escalation clauses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, “Lease”.
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Low value asset consideration is those less than USD 5,000. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial report, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change. The Company currently does not have any recent accounting pronouncement that they are studying, and feel may be applicable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Rounding Off
Figures are rounded off to the nearest $, except value of EPS and number of shares.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to continue to generate sufficient revenues and raise capital within one year from the date of filing.
Over the next twelve months management plans to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available.
NOTE 4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The purpose of the agreement is to provide for working capital to either the Company or QIND through cash advances on an unsecured basis requested by either party at any time and from time to time in amounts of up to $100,000 and the agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive one-year terms thereafter unless terminated. The intercompany loan agreement has a term of one year from the date of execution and all cash advances mature and become payable on the termination date. Any unpaid principal accrues simple interest from the date of each cash advance until payment in full at a rate equal to 1% per annum.

NOTE 9. RIGHT OF USE ASSETS
The Company’s subsidiaries have entered into commercial leases of land for offices, manufacturing yards and storage facilities. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease liability and corresponding right of use (ROU) asset are recognized for qualifying leased assets based on the present value of fixed and certain index-based lease payments at lease commencement. To determine the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the stated interest rate in the lease, when available, or more commonly a secured incremental borrowing rate that reflects risk, term, and economic environment in which the lease is denominated. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases.
NOTE 10. GOODWILL
As of December 31, 2022, the Goodwill has been generated through acquisition of our subsidiaries - Bull Head Products Inc., Georgia Fire & Rescue, Quality Industrial Corp. and its subsidiary Quality International. Goodwill accounted in the books is primarily a result of acquisitions, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets acquired.
The Company accounts for business combinations by estimating the fair value of consideration paid for acquired businesses and assigning that amount to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the remainder assigned to goodwill. If the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of consideration paid, a gain on bargain purchase is recognized. The estimates of fair values are determined utilizing customary valuation procedures and techniques, which require us, among other things, to estimate future cash flows and discount rates. Such analyses involve significant judgments and estimations.
The Company follows the guidance prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that its carrying amount may not exceed its fair value.
The annual impairment review is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year based upon information and estimates available at that time. To perform the impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the Company’s reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amounts as a basis for determining whether or not to perform the quantitative impairment test. Qualitative testing includes the evaluation of economic conditions, financial performance, and other factors such as key events when they occur. The Company then estimates the fair value of each reporting unit and each indefinite-lived intangible asset not meeting the qualitative criteria and compares their fair values to their carrying values.
As all the subsidiaries were acquired in 2022, hence company would start impairment process from the next year 2023 in accordance with the guidance prescribed in ASC 350. The Company would assess at year-end whether there has been an impairment in the value of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
If future operating performance at one or more of the Company’s reporting units were to fall significantly below forecasted levels, the Company could be required to reflect, under current applicable accounting rules, a non-cash charge to operating income for an impairment. Any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and net worth.
As of December 31, 2022, Goodwill and intangible assets amount to $60,310,468 as compared to total assets amounting to $ 251,417,462. Below is a table displaying the goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions:

Overview
ILUS is a Nevada Corporation primarily focused on the public safety, industrial and renewable energy sectors. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Emergency Response Technologies Inc. (“ERT”), ILUS aims to provide technology that protects communities, front line personnel and assets by acquiring technology and solutions for the emergency response sector. This sector includes Fire and Rescue Services, Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Management. The company also has an Industrial and Manufacturing subsidiary, Quality Industrial Corp., which is focused on the manufacturing of heavy engineering equipment for the Oil and Gas, Utility and Renewables sectors. Furthermore, the company has a Mining and Renewable Energy subsidiary which is focused on the incorporation, acquisition, and growth of companies in the sustainable mining and renewable energy sectors and also has a Defense subsidiary which is focused on delivery effective capability and technology to the defense sector.
ILUS has four distinct divisions which together serve a diverse global customer base. An overview of the current divisions is found below:
Emergency Response division:
Emergency Response Technologies is a subsidiary of ILUS, whose operating companies design, manufacture and distribute specialty equipment, vehicles and related parts and services. We provide firefighting equipment, firefighting vehicles, firefighting vehicle superstructures, distribution of equipment for emergency services, fire protection equipment sales, installation, and maintenance as well as servicing/maintenance of Firefighting, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services equipment.
Industrial & Manufacturing division:
This division specializes in the manufacturing and assembling of process equipment, piping, and modules for the oil, gas, and energy sectors with over two decades of experience and key end-users in the Oil & Gas, Off-shore, Refineries & Petrochemical, Waste-water treatment plants and Chemical, Fertilizer, Metals and Mineral Processing industries. The international end-users include companies such as, but not limited to Chevron, BP, Shell, Total, Sasol and Gasco. The division has extensive capabilities including the undertaking of design, detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, site erection, commissioning, testing & handing over of process equipment. The funding obligations for acquisitions such as Quality International Co Ltd FCZ, by our publicly listed industrial subsidiary, Quality Industrial Corp. (OTC: QIND), are funded funding by QIND itself as are the ongoing obligations for future acquisitions by the subsidiary.
Mining & Renewable Energy division:
This division is engaged in the Mining and Renewable Energy industry currently through its subsidiary Replay Solutions, which recovers and recycles precious metals from electronic waste. Replay Solutions incorporates a ‘Closed loop’ concept where it uses E–Waste and data destruction as a resource not only to extract precious metals but to reuse all materials found in E-Waste such as plastics. The company recycles cleanly, safely, and sustainably on items such as, but not limited to Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and precious metals, Cables, wire, and car radiators. Replay Solution’s machines shred, crush, and grind the board to powder form and then use an airflow and an electrostatic separator to separate the materials into metal and fibers.
Defense Division:
This division is engaged in the Defense industry currently through its subsidiary Hyperion Defence Solutions where it aims to provide customers with the technological capability, solutions and services that will protect their warfighters and provide them with a technological advantage in the following key areas: Joint Close Air Support (JCAS), Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (CIED), Security Risk Management, Simulation Technology and Services.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
The primary factors affecting our results of operations include:
General Macro Economic Conditions
Our business is impacted by the global economic environment, employment levels, consumer confidence, government, and municipal spending. Global instability in securities markets and the war in Ukraine are among other factors that can impact our financial performance. In particular, changes in the U.S. economic climate can impact the demand of our products range. In addition, the impact of taxes and fees can have a dramatic effect on the availability, lead-times and costs associated with raw materials and parts for our product range.
Our purchases are discretionary by nature and therefore sensitive to the availability of financing, consumer confidence, and unemployment levels among other factors and are affected by general U.S. and global economic conditions, which create risks that future economic downturns will further reduce consumer demand and negatively impact our sales.
While less economically sensitive than the Emergency Response sector, the Industrial and Manufacturing sectors are also impacted by the overall economic environment. Tenders can be withdrawn and lead times for the manufacturing can be affected which can result in cancellation of orders if not delivered on time.
Impact of Acquisitions
Historically, a significant component of our growth has been through the acquisition of businesses in our targeted sectors. We typically incur upfront costs as we incorporate and integrate acquired businesses into our operating philosophy and operational excellence. This includes the consolidation of supplies and raw materials, optimized logistics and production processes, and other restructuring and improvements initiatives. The benefits of these integration efforts may not positively impact our financial results in the short-term but has historically positively impacted medium to long-term results.
We recognize acquired assets and liabilities at fair value. This includes the recognition of identified intangible assets and goodwill. In addition, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed generally include tangible assets, as well as contingent assets and liabilities.
Recent developments
In the second half of 2023, ILUS plans to continue the individual growth and international expansion of its subsidiaries by increasing sales and operational efficiencies. The company plans to strengthen its Emergency Response Technologies subsidiary through increased manufacturing of the company’s emergency products and technology in the United States. The company will also be manufacturing its E-Raptor range of commercial electric utility vehicles in Serbia and plans for the first vehicles to roll off the Serbian production line towards the end of 2023. Additional focus will go towards the ongoing consolidation and integration of existing acquisitions.
Results of Operation for the Three & Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023, and 2022
Revenues
We earned $24,120,561 and $67,476,168 in revenues for the Three and Nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared with $20,419,421 and $43,110,167 in revenues for the Three and Nine months ended September 30, 2022. The 18.1% increase in revenue for the three months ended is a result of revenue growth in our divisions. The acquisition of Quality International has been consolidated from the second quarter of 2022 and the revenue for the Nine months ended September 30, is hence not like-for-like which is most relevant when analyzing and improving the progress of its operations with customer behavior varying between quarters due to seasonal and cyclical trends.
We expect increased revenue in the future quarters through organic growth within all our division in the fourth quarter which is generally the strongest.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased from $4,902,401 and $10,346,729 for the Three & Nine months ended September 30, 2022, to $6,347,807 and $14,849,474 for the Three & Nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the Three months ended September 30, have increased primarily due to the stock-based compensation to management in our subsidiary QIND. Issuances for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, was $1,512,000 and $0, respectively.
We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our expansion plan associated with our acquisitions. The increase will be attributable to administrative and operating costs associated with our business activities and the professional fees associated with our reporting obligations.
Other Expenses
We had other non-operating expenses of $2,054,165 for the Three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared $721,075 for the same period ended 2022. Our increase expenses in Q3 2023, were mainly payment of lease liabilities in the subsidiary Quality International and issuance of shares to Exchange Listings LLC as strategic advisors to pursue the Company’s goal of completing a successful uplisting to a major stock exchange.
Net Income/Net Loss
We incurred a Net Income of $472,145 and $2,367,031 for the Three and Nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net income of $1,187,494 and $2,956,452 for the Three and Nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decline in Net Income in the third quarter was a result of one-off expenses due to issuances of shares to management and Exchange Listings LLC as strategic advisors amounting to $2,003,812 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Adjusting for the issuances the Company’s net income would have been $2,447,957 and $1,187,494 for the Three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had total current assets of $155,464,993 and total current liabilities of $162,906,029 which include the QIND’s payable amount of $75,500,000 as part of purchase consideration for acquisition of its operating company, Quality International. We had a working capital deficit of $7,441,036 as of September 30, 2023. This compares with a working capital deficit of $15,847,034 as of December 31, 2022.
Operating activities provided $3,647,450 used in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared with $10,119,758 provided a cash deficit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our increased operating cash deficit for 2023, was mainly the result of growth in core business activities.
Investing activities used $4,139,857 in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared with $4,323,952 provided in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our negative investing cash flow for Q3 2023 was mainly the result of investing in long term assets for the company’s growth.
Financing activities provided $600,980 in cash deficit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared with $5,925,000 cash provided for the same period ended 2022 and was mainly the result of financing through issuance of convertible notes for working capital and settlement of historic notes.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to continue to generate sufficient revenues and raise capital within one year from the date of filing.
Over the next twelve months management plans to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available.
Impact of Acquisitions
Historically a significant component of our growth has been through the acquisition of businesses in our targeted sectors. We typically incur upfront costs as we incorporate and integrate acquired businesses into our operating philosophy and operational excellence. This includes consolidation of supplies and raw materials, optimized logistics and production processes, and other restructuring and improvements initiatives. The benefits of these integration efforts and upcoming planned acquisitions may not positively impact our financial results instantly but has historically been the case in future periods.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed Note 2 of our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Goodwill
The Company continues to review its goodwill for possible impairment or loss of value at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. On December 31, 2022, we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation. We performed a qualitative assessment of factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of the work performed, the Company has concluded that no impairment loss was warranted on December 31, 2022. Factors including non-renewal of a major contract or other substantial changes in business conditions could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of goodwill in future periods and the resulting charge could be material to future periods’ results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to our business. These matters may include product liability, intellectual property, employment, personal injury cause by our employees, and other general claims. Aside from the following, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
We have been named as a defendant in an action commenced by our former CEO, Larson Elmore. A case has been filed in the Eight Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada (Case No. A-22-858343-C). The Plaintiff alleges that we breached a stock purchase agreement dated May 10, 2020, and promissory notes, and is therefore entitled to damages. We have potential counterclaims against the former CEO which are being prepared, arising out of improper action and lack of disclosures. The company has disputed the claim and argue that Larson Elmore has mislead the company and its shareholders on various matters including but not limited to liabilities, company commitments and due diligence items presented by Larson Elmore during the takeover process. We have filed a motion to dismiss Larson Elmore’s complaint on the basis that it fails to state a claim and lacks jurisdiction in the Nevada courts. At the hearing on this motion, the court determined that discovery would be required before ruling for the company and denied the motion without prejudice. The company is evaluating a motion for reconsideration once the order has been entered. In the interim, the parties have discussed a tentative discovery schedule and the possibility of a mediation and settlement conference.
We have been named as a defendant in an action commenced by Steve Nicol, who claims that he loaned $12,000 on or about May 23, 2017, to Cache Cabinetry, LLC a subsidiary of ILUS under a promissory note, but that ILUS agreed to assume the note. He further claims that he elected to convert the note and that ILUS failed to convert the note into shares of ILUS common stock. He has alleged breach of contract, declaratory relief, and specific performance to require the company to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock in ILUS. The company obtained a settlement on September 6, 2023, of $100,000 and has received the final court order.
We have been named as a defendant in an action commenced by Black Ice Advisors LLC, regarding a historic note entered into by the previous CEO, Larson Elmore, with a principal amount of $4,000. The company disputes the legitimacy of the note and as to whether ILUS ever actually received the $4,000. On August 22, 2023, the company received information that Black Ice Advisors filed a motion seeking a monetary judgment in Black Ice’s in the amount of $3.772 million for the historic note with a principal amount of $4,000. At the hearing on November 3, 2023, the Court adopted its tentative ruling as the final ruling and denied the motion for summary judgement from Black Ice Advisors LLC. The case has received a trial date for March 8, 2024.
We cannot predict whether the action against involving our former CEO, Mr. Nicol or Black Ice Advisors is likely to result in any material recovery by or expense to our company. Where it is reasonably possible to do so, the Company accrues estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these matters. These estimates based upon an analysis of potential results and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future operating results for any particular quarter or annual period could be affected by changes in assumption.
We may continue to incur legal fees in responding to this and other lawsuits. The expense of defending such litigation may be significant and any sizeable verdict may adversely affect the company. The amount of time to resolve this and any additional lawsuits is unpredictable, and these actions may divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
