BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The accounting policies and procedures employed in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are contained in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16,2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from those financial statements. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for Interim Financial Information. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Description of Business DarkPulse, Inc. ("DPI" or "Company") is a technology-security company incorporated in 1989 as Klever Marketing, Inc. ("Klever"). The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DarkPulse Technologies Inc. ("DPTI"), was originally formed as a privately held technology spinout from the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada. The Company plans for its security and monitoring systems to initially be delivered in applications for border security, pipelines, the oil and gas industry and mine safety. Current uses of fiber optic distributed sensor technology have been limited to quasi-static, long-term structural health monitoring due to the time required to obtain the data and its poor precision. On April 27, 2018, Klever entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) involving Klever as the surviving parent corporation acquiring DPTI as its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). On June 29, 2018, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, and on July 18, 2018 the parties closed the Merger. With the change of control of the Company, the Merger is was accounted for as a recapitalization in a manner similar to a reverse acquisition. On July 20, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware changing the name of the Company to DarkPulse, Inc. The Company filed a corporate action notification with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the Company's ticker symbol was changed to DPLS. Going Concern Uncertainty As shown in the accompanying financial statements, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not generate any revenues and reported a net gain of $21,886. As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,083,374. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $1,408 of cash. The Company will require additional funding during the next nine months to finance the growth of its operations and achieve its strategic objectives. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital principally through private placement offerings and is targeting strategic partners in an effort to finalize the development of its products and begin generating revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured. Use of 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 statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, preferred deemed dividend and common stock issued for services. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. Intangible Assets The Company reviews intangibles held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of its intangible assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flow of the individual assets over the remaining amortization period. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows. Foreign Currency Translation The company translates monetary assets and liabilities (any item paid for or settled in foreign currency) into the United States Dollar at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate in effect when the transaction occurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at the spot rate on the date the transaction occurred. Exchange gains and losses from the translation of monetary items are included in unrealized gain/loss on Foreign Exchange as Other Comprehensive Loss. The following table discloses the dates and exchange rates used for converting Canadian Dollar amounts to U.S. Dollar amounts disclosed in the balance sheet and the statement of operations. The spot exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar on December 31, 2018 closing rate at 1.3642 US$: CAD, average rate at 1.2958 US$: CAD and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 closing rate at 1.3209 US$: CAD, average rate at 1.3294 US$. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the "more likely than not" criteria of ASC 740. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Accounting for Derivatives The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice formula pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, and accruals approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company believes the carrying value of its secured debenture payable approximates fair value because the terms were negotiated at arms length. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and through the date of filing of this report that the Company believes has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations, including the recognition of revenue, cash flows or disclosures. The Company has no lease obligations. Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common share equivalents outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding convertible preferred stock and stock options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no stock options nor convertible preferred stock outstanding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, common stock equivalents related to convertible preferred stock and convertible debt have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic loss per common share is the same as diluted loss per common share. There are 1,277,690,836 common shares reserved for the potential conversion of the Company's convertible debt. |
