iWallet Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
March 31, 2022
1. Nature of Business and Going Concern
iWallet Corp (“the Company”) is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sales of bio-metric locking wallets, which operate by scanning a user’s fingerprint to open the wallet.
iWallet Corporation (“iWallet”) was incorporated on November 18, 2009 in the State of California and is located at 7394 Trade Street, San Diego, California 92121. On July 21, 2014, the Company merged with iWallet Acquisition Corporation (the “Acquisition Sub”) (“the Merger”), a subsidiary formed by Queensridge Mining Resources, Inc. (“Queensridge”) for purposes of the Merger, which resulted in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Queensridge. Immediately following the merger, the Acquisition Sub merged with and into Queensridge. Queensridge immediately changed its name to iWallet Corp and is continuing the business of iWallet as its only line of business.
The Company began trading on July 21, 2014, on the OTCQB Exchange under the ticker symbol IWAL. The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘U.S. GAAP’), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has a deficit of $
Management has raised additional capital through private placement offerings and has plans to raise funds through public offering of its capital stock. While the Company has been successful in securing such financing in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for useful lives of patents, trademarks, software and website development costs and the warranty provision.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. The Company has no accounts receivable or allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Intangible assets
8
Patents and trademarks are measured at cost. Legal fees associated with patents and trademarks, which are expected to be issued, are recorded as patents and trademarks on the balance sheets. Upon approval by the relevant patent office, the patents and trademarks are amortized over their respective expected lives. Patent and trademark costs associated with patents or trademarks which are not approved or are abandoned, are expensed in the period in which such patents are not approved.
The Company expects to maintain patents for up to 20 years from the effective date and the trademark registrations for as long as the trademarks remain in use and the required filings are made to keep them in use. However, based on the Company’s assessment of potential innovation or other competing technological developments a useful life of ten years has been assessed for both the patents and the trademarks.
Software consists of costs relating to the development of the software behind the biometric scanning and the other security programs involved in the wallets. Costs relating to the development of this software are capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years.
Website development costs relating to website and mobile application and software development are also capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.
ASC 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, require intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC 20 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to related party and convertible debentures approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Per ASC 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. The bank indebtedness has a variable interest rate, which results in an exposure to interest rate risk resulting from an increase in rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. All other liabilities are non-interest bearing.
Revenue recognition
The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its wallets and consulting services provided to other companies in the smart wallet market. The Company earned $10,050 in consulting revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company also will derive an insignificant amount of revenue from providing engraving of the wallets. Engraving revenues will be recognized concurrent with the revenues for the related wallet. The Company also will earn revenue from consulting contracts with others desiring to operate in the smart wallet sector. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606. The Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under ASC 606, including when it is probable that the entity will
9
collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company evaluates the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Concentrations of credit risk
The Company’s cash balances are maintained in bank accounts in the United States. Deposits held in banks in the United States are insured up to $
Loss per share of common stock
Loss per common share (basic and diluted) is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per share and the weighted average number of shares of common stock exclude
Income taxes
Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and results of operations.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

6. Convertible Debentures
In fiscal 2015, the Company issued two tranches, one in April and one in September, of secured convertible debentures with identical terms and maturity dates (together, “the Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $492,500. The Company incurred $39,400 in broker’s commissions resulting in net proceeds of $
The conversion feature was determined to be an embedded derivative; however, since the instrument is a conventional convertible debenture the conversion feature was not bifurcated. Additionally, the conversion feature was determined not to be beneficial in both tranches as the fair value of the Company’s share price at the date of issuance was less than the conversion price. Accordingly, no proceeds were allocated to the value of the conversion feature on initial recognition.
As previously noted, the Company has adopted ASU 2015-03 “Imputation of Interest” and as a result has recognized the convertible debentures net of the related issuance costs of $

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipate,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks” and “estimates” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-K. Investors should carefully consider all of such risks before making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s stock. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and summary of selected financial data for iWallet Corporation Such discussion represents only the best present assessment from our Management.
Overview
iWallet Corporation (the “Company” or “iWallet”) was incorporated on November 18, 2009, in the State of California as “Queensridge Mining Resources, Inc.” On or about July 21, 2014, iWallet Corporation, a private California corporation, merged with and into our wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, iWallet Acquisition Corp., and iWallet Acquisition Corp. then immediately merged with and into the Company, with the Company immediately changing its name to “iWallet Corporation.”
The Company is currently focused on designing and developing biometric locking wallets and related physical, personal security products, and providing consulting services in connection with protective wallets and other personal security products.
The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31st, its telephone number is (858) 610-2958, and the address of its principal executive office is 401 Ryland St., Ste. 200A, Reno, Nevada.
The Company was previously a public company required to file reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a result of effectiveness of prior registration statements we filed with the SEC in 2010 and 2014, but our reporting obligations were automatically suspended as a result of having less than 300 shareholders of record, and we subsequently filed a Form 15 (a Notice of the suspension of our duty to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act) and discontinued reporting in 2016.
Description of Business
We are a designer and developer of innovative, physical, personal security products that incorporate security and communication technologies to protect against identity, personal and financial information theft. iWallet is a registered trademark in the United States. Our prior designs include a biometric locking luxury storage case, made from carbon fiber or aluminum, that protects cash, credit cards and personal information with a proprietary fingerprint security system from being read by many types of RF devices in public spaces, and a soft leather wallet that incorporates a GPS module allowing the customer to locate the wallet if misplaced. Using a free mobile application, the wallets were designed to allow owners to tether their wallets to a supported mobile smart device. A proximity alarm could then be configured to sound on the mobile device synced with our high-end version of the wallet when the wallet is separated by about five meters.
We are based in San Diego, California, and the iWallet business was originally founded in 2009. The initial version of the iWallet generated sales of over $700,000 in the first eighteen months following its launch. Established sales channels include Neiman Marcus in North America, Harrods in England, Highline Peak Group in Canada, and NeedItWantItGadgets in New Zealand. Our prospective sales channels include Dufry, Touch of Modern, Skymall, Travelsmith, Hammacher Schlemmer, and co-branding for Montblanc, Porsche Design, Ducati, Gucci, and Bugatti. We own the trademark “iWallet” for secure luxury storage cases connected to smartphones in the USA and have patents worldwide. We were previously licensed by Apple Inc. as an official Accessory Developer. That license is currently lapsed due to our current redesign of our product line and incorporation of updated technologies into our product line, but we anticipate being licensed as an official Accessory Developer again within the next 12 months,
13
subject to completion of our product redesign during that time period. We also currently provide consulting services to other companies in the industry.
We are currently improving our designs and seeking manufacturers to launch our products back into the market, and we are not currently engaged in any product sales. We are currently redesigning the original iWallet with current technology as follows:
a. Add facial recognition vs. the original fingerprint scanner in the original iWallet design.
b. Add GPS tracking vs. the original alarm going off when the iWallet was separated from the linked mobile device.
c. Use flexible case material vs. the original hard case to house wallet electronics.
d. Add ability to download credit card numbers to its built-in memory vs. the original non capability.
This new technology is currently being designed to be implemented with various portable containers like wallets, passport holders and hand bags. We are in the initial stages of product redesign, and we are currently conducting tests with electronic components from different suppliers to see which ones work more efficiently. Once we know which ones work to our satisfaction, we plan to make 3D prototypes to show to our consulting customers that already have relationships with for their feedback and approval. Due to the revamping of our line of products, we have discontinued manufacturing the original iWallet since we consider the prior iWallet technology outdated.
The Company is currently working with engineers regularly to reach the aforementioned four technology feature milestones described above, and the Company is also meeting regularly with potential clients that show interest in this new technology and might be willing to either purchase product or designs, including gauging interest in potential white (private) labeling for large name brands like Dunhill which we have relationships with.
We have accumulated a database of customers through tradeshows like the Consumer Electronics Show-CES, where iWallet won an innovation award that created a substantial interest in our products throughout many industries like automotive (General Motors, Mercedes Benz, Porsche each approached us previously), which could potentially sell iWallet products in their gift shops situated at their dealerships; duty-free shops situated at national borders, as well as in-flight catalogs, stores in cruise ships, etc. We also plan for our future products to be distributed through luggage retailers and manufacturers like we have in the past with Heys Luggage.
We anticipate that we will be ready to launch our redesigned products with updated technological features within the next 12 months, although the timeline may be delayed due to continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current worldwide shortage in electronic components. Accordingly, our projected product launch timeline is subject to normalization of the current computer chip and related component supply situation. We believe that with prototypes in hand, we will be able to secure purchase orders from small and large businesses and go into production, subject to electronic component availability, within the next year.
Products and Technology
We are redesigning our original product, which will be marketed as the “iWallet 2.0,” to have the following features:
· Sleek, compact industrial design with carbon fiber case
· Pairs with the owner’s cellular phone via bluetooth technology
· Patented, exclusive tamper resistant locking mechanism utilizes innovative fingerprint biometric reader for unlocking
· Unique latch control that only consumes power during latching hence providing extended battery life
· RFID blocking capability for enhanced wireless protection
· Speaker providing audible feedback
· GPS tracking capabilities
We also intend to bring the following additional products to market:
· Leather wallets with a GPS module built-in
· Storage devices with co-branding luxury partners
14
· A secure passport case called the iPassport
· A secure mobile personal safe to store pharmaceuticals in
· A smart “padlock” with a biometric reader for gym lockers and other personal areas that require security
We hold over twenty patents and patent applications filed in various countries around the world. Our products are manufactured under contract by a manufacturer based in Zhuhai, China, Apollo Electronics. The suppliers for our raw materials have been Future Electronics, Namiki Motors, Cotech Taiwan, Digital Persona, Avnet Electronics, Avnet Taiwan, and Apollo Electronics. Historically, our largest major customer has been Neiman Marcus, which was the source of approximately 60% of our gross revenues from our most recent product sales several years ago. We have not had any product sales for several years as we have been focused on updating our designs to use more cost-effective technologies and materials, and sourcing and updating our suppliers, tooling, and molds. We have now updated our designs and distribution plan, and we expect to relaunch product sales during 2022, and expand our distribution efforts. As we expand our sales and distribution channels, we expect that our customer base will diversify and that, in the future, our revenues will not be dependent upon one or a few major customers.
We hold both utility and design patents and patent applications. All of our current utility patents will remain in effect until September 14, 2027, in the United States. The duration of our design patents varies by country. The expiration dates of our current design patents, by country, is as follows:

Services Offered
We are currently providing project management services to companies interested in the research, development (such as feasibility study, source codes, gerber files, apps, etc.), manufacturing (molds, PCB boards, etc.), materials (such as carbon fiber, fiber glass, aluminum, leather, polycarbonate, etc.), complex supply chain logistics, complex product cycle, and marketing (sales channels established throughout years of iWallet’s worldwide business relationships with high end brands, luxury department stores and duty free shops at worldwide airports, border crossings and cruise ships) of what we call “smart containers,” which are high-tech personal portable containers (such as wallets, purses, handbags and passport holders) that utilize the latest technologies in terms of GPS recovery for lost or stolen containers that can be tracked via an app on the owner’s smartphone or tablet; facial recognition and other biometrics such as fingerprint readers, voice recognition or remote opening through an app, in order to access its contents; various encrypted credit card numbers downloaded to the container that can be displayed on a LED/LCD screen to choose form of payment (Visa/MasterCard/American Express/Discover) at a touch of a button and pay the retailer with its NFC capability (the advantage of our system is that it is “off-the-grid” meaning that there is no third party carrier-such as the cellular phone carrier-that can be hacked into to steal personal information).
We consider ourselves to be at the forefront of the industry with the expertise, knowledge, resources and commitment to perform beyond our clients’ expectations with expertise in the field of portable containers that we dub “Techcessories,” and our commitment is to get their products out in the market as soon as possible to manage efficiently their product’s life cycles and replace their aging products with updated technology. We also plan to offer all of the aforementioned processes to companies on a partnership basis, whereby we would reduce the prices we charge to our customers (which reduction would reflect a portion of our cost of development, manufacturing, inventory and marketing) in exchange for being paid commissions by the customers in the future from new product sales or potentially receiving partial ownership in their new product offerings in the future, in order to provide a more affordable option to the client. We do not yet have any customers engaged on this basis, nor are we dependent on this structure.

Market and Competition Overview
Our primary target demographic is consumers who are in the market for high-end luxury storage cases and similar accessories. We do not believe that the $200+ approximate retail price to the customer for many of our planned products will be an obstacle for our initial target demographic.
We have previously competed with luxury brands such as Cartier, Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, all of which are better capitalized than we are, as well as the following smaller niche competitors (and product offerings):
· Ekster: Parliament Wallet - integrated RFID blocking technology. GPS tracking available as an addon.
· Nomad: Slim Wallet - provides GPS tracking in an inconspicuous fashion so thieves are not aware of the tracking capability.
· Zitahli: Mens Wallet with RFID Front for Men - includes RFID security technology.
We believe the security, high technology, slim design, and carbon fiber or leather construction of our anticipated storage device products can position the Company to compete for a share of the luxury secure accessories market.
Sales, Distribution and Growth Strategy
Our current sales strategy is focused on developing and introducing a new flexible wallet made out of leather instead of carbon fiber in order to be more competitive from a pricing standpoint with traditional leather containers and wallets.
We plan to private label our product designs for well-established global brands that we already have a business relationship with (described below) through our first and second generation wallets, unlike our competitors that only promote their brands.
As funds permit, we plan to attend domestic consumer electronics trade shows, personal accessories trade shows, vacation trade shows, and luggage related trade shows to promote our line of unique products that we call “Techcessories.” The Company has been working with Global Marketing Strategies in order to explore creative strategies, advertising concepts, consumer opinions, existing distribution and sales channels to determine the best path for sales and distribution of the Company’s product and services offerings.
Our established distribution channels for the original iWallet products include the following, which we believe will be available for the Company’s future product offerings.
· Neiman Marcus in North America
· Harrods in England
· NeedItWantItGadgets in New Zealand
The following are current prospective sales channels:
· Private branding for well-established global brands: Dunhil of London, Heys Luggage, Montblanc, Porsche Design, Ducatti, Gucci, and Bugatti. We have previously had business relationships or discussions with each of these brands.
· Dufry, a global duty-free company with 1,100 locations in 45 countries.
· Touch of Modern.
· Skymall.
· Travelsmith.
· Hammacher Schlemmer.
· Zero Halliburton.

Environmental Laws
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.
Reports to Security Holders
The Company intends to furnish its stockholders with annual reports containing financial statements audited by its independent registered public accounting firm and to make available quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each year. The Company files Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to meet its timely and continuous disclosure requirements. The Company may also file additional documents with the Commission if those documents become necessary in the course of its operations.
The public may read and copy any materials that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549.

Results of Operations
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, which are included herein.
Our financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”).
Going Concern Qualification
Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $5,128,448 since its inception through March 31, 2022, and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021
Revenues
We generated revenues of $10,050 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to no revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as we began providing consulting services to other companies in our market in 2021 and generated revenue from those consulting services in 2022.
17
Operating and Administrative Expense
Operating expenses increased to $14,202 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $2,865 in the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily as a result of expenses of keeping the Company’s public filings current.
Other Income (Expense)
We incurred interest expense of $17,100, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to interest expense of $15,587 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Interest expense modestly increased year-over-year, due to compounding interest.
Net Loss
The Company had a net loss of $21,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $18,452, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the increase in the operating expenses and modest increase in interest in the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by increasing revenues and operational profits in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the operating loss in the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2022, we had $38,258 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $5,128,448. Our primary source of liquidity has been from funds received for consulting services provided to customers. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owed $1,649 in outstanding related party advances, with $0 in accrued interest on those advances, and $504,500 in outstanding convertible debentures payable, net of debt discounts of $0, due to outside parties, with $354,926 in accrued interest on these debentures.
Net cash used in operating activities was $11,400 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and net cash used in operating activities of $2,616 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Net cash provided by financial activities was $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Our expenses to date are largely due to professional fees that include accounting, audit and legal fees. To date, we have had minimal revenues, and we require additional financing in order to finance our business activities on an ongoing basis.
Cash Flow
Our primary source of liquidity has been cash from consulting services provided during 2021 and 2022.
Working Capital
We had current assets of $38,258 and $49,658, and current liabilities of $861,324 and $851,472, resulting in working capital deficits of $823,066 and $814,814 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts
18
reported in its financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Financial Statements on the unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 included in this Form 10-Q, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.
Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, and income taxes. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. The Company’s management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
The Company plans to derive revenue primarily from the sale of its wallets. The Company also will derive an insignificant amount of revenue from providing engraving of the wallets. Engraving revenues will be recognized concurrent with the revenues for the related wallet. The Company also will earn revenue from consulting contracts with others desiring to operate in the smart wallet sector. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606. The Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under ASC 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company evaluates the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Intangible Assets
Patents and trademarks are measured at cost. Legal fees associated with patents and trademarks, which are expected to be issued, are recorded as patents and trademarks on the balance sheets. Upon approval by the relevant patent office, the patents and trademarks are amortized over their respective expected lives. Patent and trademark costs associated with patents or trademarks which are not approved or are abandoned, are expensed in the period in which such patents are not approved.
The Company expects to maintain patents for up to 20 years from the effective date and the trademark registrations for as long as the trademarks remain in use and the required filings are made to keep them in use. However, based on the Company’s assessment of potential innovation or other competing technological developments a useful life of ten years has been assessed for both the patents and the trademarks.
Software consists of costs relating to the development of the software behind the biometric scanning and the other security programs involved in the wallets. Costs relating to the development of this software are capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years.
Website development costs relating to website and mobile application and software development are also capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.
ASC 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, require intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset.
19
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Seasonality
We do not expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and services.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean the company’s controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a simple system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objectives of timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports and of ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives.
20
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
21
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is not a party to any significant pending legal proceedings, and no such proceedings are known to be contemplated. No director, officer or affiliate of the Company, and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in reference to pending litigation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b¬2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information under this item. However, investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, and you should carefully consider the risk factors described below. Each of the risk factors described below could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Moreover, the risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our failure to raise additional capital or generate the cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in our product offerings could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.
We will need to raise additional funds in order to execute on our business development plan over the long term. We may not be able obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our security holders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the value of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios. If we cannot raise additional capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:
· develop and enhance our products
· develop our brand and acquire new customers
· continue to expand our technology development, sales and marketing organizations
· acquire complementary technologies, products or businesses
· expand operations internationally
· pay our debts as they come due
· hire, train and retain employees
· respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements
Our inability to do any of the foregoing could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.
Because we have experienced net losses to date, we may never be able to generate sufficient net revenue in the future to be profitable.
We have had net operating losses since inception and expect to continue experiencing net losses for the immediate future. In addition, we expect to make significant future expenditures related to the continued development and expansion of our business. Furthermore, as a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. As a result of these factors, to achieve profitability we will need to, among other matters, increase our customer base and our distribution channels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our revenue in this manner and achieve profitability. As we expect
22
to continue to invest in the development of our business, this investment could outpace growth in our revenue, and thereby impair our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.
Because we are dependent on outside manufacturers to produce our products, increases in manufacturing costs or component prices may negatively affect our operations
We have historically relied on one manufacturer to manufacture our iWallet products to order, and we expect that will be constrained by its manufacturing capabilities and pricing for future manufacturing and may face production delays or escalating costs if it is unable to manufacture a sufficient quantity of product at an affordable cost. Further, we could face production delays if it becomes necessary to replace that supplier with one or more alternative suppliers. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, and results of operations or financial condition. In addition, our operation could be significantly affected by increases in the cost of high quality carbon fiber, leather or other raw materials necessary to manufacture our products.
Because there is an uncertain market for our products, we cannot be certain that they will gain wide acceptance or that we will be able to generate sustained sales growth.
While we believe that our innovative security products would be attractive to business professionals, we have only a limited operating history to determine the market acceptance for our products. No assurance can be given that a significant market for our products and services will be developed or sustained. If our security products do not gain wider acceptance amongst our target market, we will be unable to achieve sustained sales growth and our business may not be viable over the longer term.
Because the preservation of our intellectual property rights is essential to the success of our business, our failure to protect those rights could adversely affect our business.
Our intellectual property rights, including existing and future trademarks, patents, trade secrets and copyrights, are and will continue to be valuable and important assets of our business. We believe that our proprietary technology, as well as our other technologies and business practices, are competitive advantages and that any duplication by competitors would harm our business. We have taken measures to protect our intellectual property, but these measures may not be sufficient or effective. Intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions may not prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property or deter others from developing similar technologies. In addition, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology. Our failure to protect, or any significant impairment to the value of, our intellectual property rights could harm our business.
Our products may contain defects, which could adversely affect our reputation and cause us to incur significant costs.
Defects may be found in our products. Any such defects could cause us to incur significant return and exchange costs, re-engineering costs, divert the attention of our personnel from product development efforts, and cause significant customer relations and business reputation problems. If we deliver products with defects, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products could be harmed.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan.
Having certain key personnel is essential to the development and marketing of the products we plan to sell and thus to the entire business itself. Consequently, the loss of any of those individuals may have a substantial effect on our future success or failure. We may have to recruit qualified personnel with competitive compensation packages, equity participation, and other benefits that may affect the working capital available for our operations. Management may have to seek to obtain outside independent professionals to assist them in assessing the merits and risks of any business proposals as well as assisting in the development and operation of many company projects. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such needed assistance on terms acceptable to us. Our failure to attract additional qualified employees or to retain the services of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
23
Even though we are not manufacturing the products ourselves, if any of the products we sell infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we may find ourselves involved in costly litigation, which will negatively affect the financial results of our business operations.
Although we have not received notices of any alleged infringement, we cannot be certain that our products do not infringe on issued trademarks and/or copyrights of others. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in our ordinary course of business arising out of intellectual property rights of others. These legal proceedings can be very costly, and thus can negatively affect the results of our operations.
Because we conduct business outside of the United States, we are subject to certain additional risks related to doing business in foreign countries.
We intend to conduct our business, in part, outside of the United States, and our products have historically been manufactured under contract in China. Doing business in foreign countries carries with it certain risks that are not found in doing business in the United States. The risks of doing business in foreign countries that could result in losses against which we are not insured include:
· exposure to local economic conditions;
· potential adverse changes in the diplomatic relations of foreign countries with the United States;
· hostility from local populations;
· the adverse effect of currency exchange controls;
· restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings;
· government policies against businesses owned by foreigners;
· investment restrictions or requirements;
· expropriations of property;
· the potential instability of foreign governments;
· the risk of insurrections;
· risks of renegotiation or modification of existing agreements with governmental authorities;
· foreign exchange restrictions;
· withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries; and
· changes in taxation structure.
Risks Related to Legal Uncertainty
Because our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Nevada law limit the liability of our officers, directors, and others, shareholders may have no recourse for acts performed in good faith.
Under our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law, each of our officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents are not liable to us or the shareholders for any acts they perform in good faith, or for any non-action or failure to act, except for acts of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Our articles and bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents from any claim, loss, cost, damage liability and expense by reason of any act undertaken or omitted to be undertaken by them, unless the act performed or omitted to be performed constitutes fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
If certain legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, makes it more difficult for us to retain or attract officers and directors, we may be unable to hire such personnel and our business operations may be materially negatively impacted.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified
24
individuals from accepting these roles. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We continue to evaluate and monitor developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from quotation on the OTC Link ATS, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Rule 15c2-11, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ensures that broker-dealers, in their role as professional gatekeepers to the over-the-counter-market, where our stock is quoted for trading, do not publish quotations for an issuer’s security when current issuer information is not publicly available, subject to certain exceptions. Companies trading on the OTC Link ATS, such as us, must generally have current information be available for broker-dealers to be able to publish quotations for their common stock. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market unless we make current information regarding our company available as required by the Rule. We have not yet done so, and we may not ever be able to do so.
Because our common stock could be deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, it would be cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market for our common stock less liquid and negatively affect the price of our stock.
We may be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading will be subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers. These require a broker-dealer to:
· Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
· Disclose certain price information about the stock;
· Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
· Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
· In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
Consequently, penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock. Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.
Because we were formerly considered a “shell company” within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the ability of any holders of “restricted securities,” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, to resell their shares may be limited by applicable regulations for a period of time, and our ability to attract additional investment through private offerings in the near future may be limited.
Formerly, we were classified as a “shell company” under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As such, any “restricted securities,” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, may not be resold in reliance on safe harbors provided under Rule 144 until: (i) we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) we have filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC regarding our cessation as a “shell company”; (iii) we have filed all reports as required by Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Act for twelve consecutive months; and (iv) one year has elapsed from the time we filed the Form 10 information with the SEC reflecting our status as an entity that is no longer a shell company. We ceased to be a shell company on or about July 21, 2014. In addition, we filed “Form 10 information” reflecting our status as a non-shell company with the SEC in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 25, 2014, as amended on July 31, 2014, and September
25
3, 2014. Our mandatory filing obligations under the Exchange Act were previously terminated, but we are now again subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
As a result of our former “shell company” status, we may experience difficulty in raising additional capital through private offerings of common stock or other securities until such time as we have satisfied each of the requirements in Rule 144, including those set forth above. For so long as the safe harbors provided under Rule 144 are not available to holders of restricted securities, our ability to raise significant additional capital in any offering other than a registered public offering may be severely limited. To the extent that any capital from future private offerings is available to us prior to the date that Rule 144 is available to be relied upon, investors may demand resale registration rights in connection with such offerings or otherwise insist on terms which make such financings unattractive or infeasible.
