SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Going concern Management has determined there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our lack of significant revenues and recurring losses. If we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure additional financing, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s operations have been financed primarily by proceeds from the sale of shares. The Company received $920,000 in April 2021 from the sale of shares. The Company sold an additional 10 million shares of its common stock in November 2022 for a price of $880,000 USD, with $41,905 cash received as payment as of March 31, 2023. The two subscribers agreed to pay the remaining balance due of $838,095 on or before October 16, 2024, and $146,667 or RMB1,050,000 was paid by Heilongjiang Chuangyi as of the date of this report. In addition, the Company received an interest free loan from a related party of RMB200,000 or $29,120 in August 2023 (See Note 12). The Company will use these funds for working capital. The marketing personnel of the Company are developing new customers and hope to build a stable base of customers. In this manner, Management hopes to generate sufficient operating cash inflow to support its future operations and development of the Company in addition to capital raised from sales of shares and shareholders’ support based on need. Basis of presentation The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. Dollars and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of these subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023 are listed as follows: Name Place of Attributable Organic Agricultural (Samoa) Co., Ltd. Samoa 100 Organic Agricultural Company Limited (Hong Kong) Hong Kong 100 Heilongjiang Tianci Liangtian Agricultural Technology Development Company Limited China 100 Heilongjiang Yuxinqi Agricultural Technology Development Company Limited China 100 Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the inventory valuation allowance. These estimates are often based on complex judgments and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash Cash consists of cash on hand and bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. All highly liquid investments with original stated maturities of three months or less are classified as cash. The Company’s cash consist of cash on hand and cash in bank, as of March 31, 2023 and 2022. Revenue recognition The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity, and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities as described below. The Company sells paddy and selenium-enriched paddy products, rice and other agricultural products. All revenue is recognized when it is both earned and realized. The Company’s policy is to recognize the sale when the products and services, ownership and risk of loss have transferred to the purchasers, and collection of the sales proceeds, if not prepaid, is reasonably assured, all of which generally occur when the customer receives the products and services. Accordingly, revenue is recognized at the point in time when delivery is made and services are provided. Given the nature of this revenue generated by the Company’s business and the applicable rules guiding revenue recognition, the Company’s revenue recognition practices do not include estimates that materially affect results of operations nor does the Company have any policy for return of products. Fair value measurements The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value for the assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that are to be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices, other than those in Level 1, in markets that are not active or for similar assets and liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). Financial assets and liabilities of the Company primarily consists of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, inventories, due from related parties, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, due to related parties, and other payables. As at March 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Functional currency and foreign currency translation An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB’), except the functional currency of Organic Agricultural HK is the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), and the functional currency of Organic Agricultural Samoa and Organic Agricultural is the United States dollar (“US Dollars” “USD” or “$”). The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is in US Dollars. The financial statements of the Company, which are prepared using the RMB and the HKD, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the US Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each reporting period end date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from these transactions are included in operations. The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation are as follows: For the years ended 2023 2022 (USD to RMB/USD to HKD) (USD to RMB/USD to HKD) Assets and liabilities period end exchange rate 6.8680/7.8498 6.3431/7.8306 Revenue and expenses period average 6.8526/7.8387 6.4183/7.7844 Income taxes The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ASC 740-10-30 requires income tax positions to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-40, previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretations, judgments and uncertainties. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policies, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities or the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance. China According to the “PRC Income Tax Law”, Tianci Liantian and Yuxinqi are subject to the 25% standard enterprise income tax rate in the PRC. United States The Company is subject to the U.S. corporation tax rate of 21%. Samoa Organic Agricultural (Samoa) Co., Ltd was incorporated in Samoa and, under the current laws of Samoa, it is not subject to income tax. Hong Kong Organic Agricultural Company Limited (Hong Kong) was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Organic Agricultural Company Limited (Hong Kong) is subject to Hong Kong taxation on its activities conducted in Hong Kong and income arising in or derived from Hong Kong. The applicable statutory tax rate is 16.5%. Earnings (loss) per share The Company computes earnings (loss) Earnings Per Share Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of contracts to issue ordinary common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The computation of diluted EPS includes the estimated impact of the exercise of contracts to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method and the potential common shares associated with convertible debt using the if-converted method. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Share-based compensation The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718 requiring equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and recognized over its vesting period. During the 2023 fiscal year, specifically on July 1, 2022, the Company granted a total of 140,000 shares with a fair value on the grant date of $0.0899 per share to 11 individuals for a sales bonus on promotion services, and on November 29, 2022, the Company granted a total of 50,000 shares with a fair value on the grant date of $0.0880 per share for promotion services. A total of $16,986 in compensation expense was recognized under the provisions of ASC 718. During the 2022 fiscal year, specifically on April 12, 2021, the Company granted a total of 1,780,200 shares with a fair value on the grant date of $0.43 per share to 25 individuals for sales promotion services during the period from April 12, 2021 through December 31, 2021. $759,000 in compensation expense was recognized under the provisions of ASC 718. These shares were fully vested when issued. Segment information and geographic data The Company is operating in one segment in accordance with the accounting guidance in FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting Concentration of credit and customer risks The Company maintains cash balances in two banks in China. In China, the insurance coverage of each bank is RMB500,000 (approximately USD$79,000). As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no bank balance in excess of the insurance amounts. During fiscal year 2023, major customers Jiufu Zhenyuan, Chuangyi Agriculture and Wenlian Commercial generated 52%, 13% and 11% of revenue, respectively. During the fiscal year of 2022, Jiufu Zhenyuan generated 89% of revenue. Risks and uncertainties The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant adverse impact and created many uncertainties related to our business, and we expect that it will continue to do so. The Company is experiencing challenges in sales which has increased the Company’s financial uncertainty. Our future business outlook and expectations are very uncertain due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and are very difficult to quantify. It is difficult to assess or predict the impact of this unprecedented event on our business, financial results or financial condition. Factors that will impact the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, financial results and financial condition include: the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic; the actions taken to contain the virus , including “lockdowns” of infected areas or treat its impact, including government actions to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, including whether any future outbreak interrupts the economic recovery. Since December 2022, many of the restrictive measures previously adopted by the PRC governments at various levels to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus have been revoked or replaced with more flexible measures. The revocation or replacement of the restrictive measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic could have a positive impact on the Company’s normal operations. However, there has recently been and may continue to be an increase in COVID-19 cases in China, and as a result, we experienced temporary disruption to our operations where many employees were infected with COVID-19 in December 2022. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and when and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. With the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the threat to the Company’s business disruption and the related financial impact remains. Recently adopted accounting standards We do not believe any recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
