Segment Reporting

 

The Company currently has three operating segments. First, Focus and Focus Shenzhen collectively operate our “Corporate and R&D” segment, which involves the non-specific financing, executive expense, operations and investor relations of our public entity, and the general shared management and costs across the Company’s subsidiaries that spread across all functional categories and research and development of technology products. Second, Perfecular, AVX (doing business as and branded under Smart AVX) and Lusher jointly operate the “IoT Products” segment, which involves the wholesale, marketing, and production of our universal smart instruments and devices in the hydroponic and controlled agriculture segments and of our smart products into the commercial and home automation sectors. And third, AVX (exclusive of the smart IoT Products sales under Smart AVX) and AT Tech Systems cooperatively run our “IoT Installation Services” segment, which handles our IoT installation and management business specializing in high performance and easy to use audio/video systems, home theaters, lighting control, automation, and integration.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that 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 and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the lease term impacting right-of-use asset with the estimate discount rate and lease liability, useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives of intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, stock option valuation, share-based compensation, fair value of warrants, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash. At times, such investments may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, approximately $616,174 and $3,120,763 of the Company’s cash was not insured by the FDIC. There were no cash equivalents held by the Company as of either September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to clients that sell the Company’s products or engage in construction service under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and do not require collateral to support customer receivables. The accounts receivable balances are generally collected within 30 to 180 days of the product sale.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection trends and review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $229,843 and $222,972, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by investing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

 

 

 

 10 

 

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of parts and finished goods and is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost or net realizable value under the first in, first out method (“FIFO Method”). Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and a fair value adjustment is made to write down inventory to market value, if lower. Inventory fair value adjustments are recorded for obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on assumptions about future demand and marketability of products, the impact of new product introductions and specific identification of items, such as discontinued products. These estimates could vary significantly from actual requirements, for example, if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from expectations. The Company regularly reviews the value of inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. If net realized value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its net realizable value.

 

Marketable Equity Securities

 

The Company invests part of its excess treasury cash in equity securities and money market funds according to company treasury and investment policies. Marketable securities represent trading securities bought and held primarily for sale in the near-term to generate income on short-term price differences and are stated at fair value. Realized gains and losses are recognized the fair value differences when the trading securities been sold based on the FIFO Method. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized the fair value differences of unsold trading securities for the period end based on the FIFO Method. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense).

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in earnings. Maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 
Fixed assets Useful life
Furniture 5 years
Equipment 5 years
Warehouse 39 years
Improvement 5 years
Land N/A

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that those fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when circumstances warrant as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Based on its review at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets were acquired from AT Tech Systems due to customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. These intangible assets were valued based on the AT Tech Systems business acquisition during January 2023. The value is based on the assessed income expected to be generated from the existing customer list, namely the carry-over of the existing contracts after a careful evaluation of the customer list. Amortization on the intangible assets was computed by the percentage completed for these existing assets and fully amortized as of September 30, 2023.

 

 

 

 11 

 

 

Treasury stock

 

Purchases and sales of treasury stock are accounted for using the cost method. Under this method, shares acquired are recorded at the acquisition price directly to the treasury stock account. The Company does not recognize a gain or loss to income from the purchase and sale of treasury stock.

 

Share-Based Compensation

  

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock options, grants, and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

 

The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period during which services are received.

 

The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model (see Note 12) and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. 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.

 

The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company does not have any outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Stock Dividends

 

The Company issued a fifty percent (50%) stock dividend of the Company’s common stock to its shareholders for a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock held. The Company follows paragraph ASC 505-20-25 in treating its stock dividend as a stock split due to the stock dividend being greater than 25% of the shares then outstanding. On March 23, 2023 and April 3, 2023, the Company issued 21,592,164 stock dividends to its shareholders for a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company also adheres to paragraph ASC 260-10-55-12, wherein it retroactively adjusted its statement of stockholders’ equity for all presented periods to incorporate the alteration in capital structure. The retroactive treatment is based on a fifty percent (50%) stock dividend of the Company’s common stock to its shareholders on March 23, 2023. The Company does not capitalize its retained earnings, and there is no impact to the Company’s overall equity or its total assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph ASC 825-10-50-10 for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph ASC 820-10-35-37 (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

  · Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
  · Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
  · Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

  

The following table summarize financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: 

                
   September 30, 2023 (unaudited) 
   Fair Value   Carrying 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Value 
Assets                
Marketable securities:                    
Stock  $39,165   $   $   $39,165 
Total assets measured at fair value  $39,165   $   $   $39,165 

 

 

   December 31, 2022 
   Fair Value   Carrying 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Value 
Assets                
Marketable securities:                    
Stock  $105,470   $   $   $105,470 
Total assets measured at fair value  $105,470   $   $   $105,470 

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable, treasury stock payable and accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and customer deposits, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

However, it is not practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.

 

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 was comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. The Company’s updated accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue from the Company is recognized under ASC 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  · executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
     
  · identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  · determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  · allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  · recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

  

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue categories, is summarized below:

 

  · Product sales – revenue is recognized at the time of sale upon the delivery of equipment to the customer.
     
  · Service sales – revenue is recognized based on the service having been provided and the agreed upon performance obligation has been completed to the customer.

 

Revenue from our project construction is recognized over time using the percentage-of-completion method under the cost approach. The percentage of completion is determined by estimating stage of work completed. Under this approach, recognized contract revenue equals the total estimated contract revenue multiplied by the percentage of completion. Our construction contracts are unit priced, and an accounts receivable is recorded for amounts invoiced based on actual units produced.

 

Cost of Revenue, excluding depreciation & amortization

 

Cost of revenue includes the cost of services, labor and product incurred to provide product sales, service sales and project sales.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of efforts to refine existing product models and develop new product models.

 

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows Section 10 of FASB ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20 the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of ASC 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows Section 20 of FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies to report accounting for loss contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

Gain on Bargain Purchase

 

A bargain purchase gain is recognized when the net assets acquired in a business combination have a higher fair value than the consideration paid.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, the Company does not foresee generating taxable income in the near future and utilizing its deferred tax asset, therefore, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

 

 

 

 

 15 

 

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income, expense and credit items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. There were no material deferred tax assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is computed pursuant to Section 10-45 of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of stock and potentially outstanding shares of stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangements, stock options or warrants.

 

Due to the net loss incurred by the Company, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 

        
Nine Months Ended September 30,  2023   2022 
Stock options   497,092    305,041 
Total   497,092    305,041 

 

While the EPS treatment was applied in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and a fifty percent stock dividend adjustment on March 23, 2023 is also retroactive accordingly.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The reporting and functional currency of Focus is the U.S. dollar (USD). The functional currency of Focus Shenzhen is the renminbi (RMB).

 

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of Focus Shenzhen, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the USD. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period. Stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

 

 

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

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. The resulting exchange difference, presented as foreign currency transaction loss, is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The exchange rates used for unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Going Concern

 

The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these unconsolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently suffered recurring loss from operations, generated negative cash flow from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

  

The Company has a net loss of $3,100,442 and $3,872,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,964,470 and $17,864,028 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,603,545 and $2,435,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As noted above, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the use of the new forward-looking “expected loss” model, rather than the “incurred loss” model, which requires all expected losses to be determined based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance amends the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company believes the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Note 15 – Business Combination

 

On January 6, 2023, the Company completed the business combination of AT Tech Systems for a purchase price of $1 in cash. The Company’s intangible assets were acquired from AT Tech Systems due to customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. Amortization on the intangible assets was fully amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. A bargain purchase gain is recognized when the net assets acquired in a business combination have a higher fair value than the consideration paid. The result of AT Tech Systems’ operations has been included in the condensed consolidated financial statement since that date.

 

The following table summarizes the purchase consideration and fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 6, 2023:

    
Assets:    
Accounts receivable  $33,007 
Intangible assets   28,741 
Total assets acquired  $61,747 
      
Liabilities:     
Accounts payable  $ 
Total liabilities assumed    
      
Purchase Price   (1)
      
Total bargain purchase gain  $61,747 

 

As a result of above information that existed as of the combination date, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $61,747 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

The excess of the aggregate net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the fair value of consideration transferred as the purchase price has been recorded as a bargain purchase gain. Upon completion of the valuation of the acquired assets, the Company concluded that recording a bargain purchase gain with respect to AT Tech Systems was appropriate and required under U.S. GAAP. The Company believes the seller was motivated to complete the transaction as part of an overall repositioning of its business.

 

Note 16– Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions that require recognition or disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Narrative Description of the Business

 

Focus Universal Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Nevada corporation. We believe we have developed five proprietary technologies utilizing our patent portfolio which we believe solve the most fundamental problems plaguing the internet of things (“IoT”) industry through: (1) increasing overall chip integration by shifting integration from the component level to the device level; (2) creating a faster 5G cellular technology by using ultra-narrowband technology; (3) leveraging ultra-narrowband power line communication (“PLC”) technology; (4) proprietary User Interface Machine auto generation technology; and (5) incorporating all our core technologies into a single chip. Our Universal Smart Technology is designed to overcome instrumentation interoperability and interchangeability. The electronic design starts from a 90% completed common foundation we call our universal smart instrumentation platform (“USIP”), instead of the current method of building each stand-alone instrument from scratch. Our method eliminates redundant hardware and software and results in significant cost savings and production efficiency. We believe we have developed software machine auto generation technology to replace the manual software designs which are currently in use and cannot satisfy the exponential growth of future IoT industry demand. Internal testing suggests that our ultra-narrowband PLC technology enables users to send data over existing electrical power cables, establishing a ubiquitous data network without substantial investment for a new dedicated wiring infrastructure. We believe our ultra-narrowband technology is capable of overcoming the noise problems communicating through power lines that have hindered our competitors for over a century. In our view, our wireless communication technology allows for longer-range coverage, is more energy efficient and has much faster data sending speeds than the current 5G technology speeds being used. We also provide sensor devices and are a wholesaler of various air filters and digital, analog, and quantum light meter systems.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we generated a significant amount of our revenue from sales of a broad selection of agricultural sensors and measurement equipment which is our primary business.

Our Current Products

 

We are a wholesaler of various digital, analog, and quantum light meters and filtration products, including fan speed adjusters, carbon filters and HEPA filtration systems. We source these products from various manufacturers in China and then sell them to a major U.S. distributor, Hydrofarm, who resells our products directly to consumers through retail distribution channels and, in some cases, places its own branding on our products.

 

In an effort to continually develop our product lines, we plan to phase out the traditional, lower-margin products and are preparing to launch a new line of products that have been in development for several years. These newer technology products will be released in phases, and we intend that increasing amounts of technology will be layered upon these products. Additionally, we plan to continue to increase our efforts in protecting more intellectual property and have continued to develop technologies for long-term growth. We have developed products in both the controlled agriculture industry and home automation industries, taking advantage of our existing relationships in both sectors.

 

We are building a U.S. sales team to market our product lines. The team has already begun marketing our current Smart AVX-branded large format multimedia touch screens, surveillance camera system (cameras and network video recorders (NVRs)), indoor and outdoor LED screens, and Focus Universal-branded VOIP phone service systems.

 

In our hydroponics segment, our honeycomb activated carbon filter product was issued a patent in October 2022; this product in several different forms is in inventory at our warehouse in Ontario, CA ready for nationwide marketing.

 

Our products on the home automation front are beginning the production cycle. Of note, smart wall touch light switches, digital control smart wall touch light switches, smart timers, and smart controllers are ready for production. Sourcing of electronic parts for these products is completed, the cost analysis of these products is completed, and most of the tooling for production has been completed.

 

Currently, our Shenzhen subsidiary mainly focuses on product development and commercialization. An important electrode with a “Total Dissolved Solids” (“TDS”) meter design, with applications in all solubility measurements, was completed and approved by our U.S. management team. The designs of our TDS sensor, carbon dioxide sensor, new quantum PAR sensor and total dissolved oxygen sensors are also completed. Our testing against the state-of-the-art sensors on the market suggests to us that the new sensors are at least as good as the best quality sensors on the market. However, we believe that our sensors are much more cost effective.

 

The progress in our USIP for the IoT has been smooth, and we have confidence that the first version of our USIP for the IoT is now ready for public demonstration. The Company has announced that it will reveal its Ubiquitor products at the 12th Annual MJBizCon being held from November 28 through December 1, 2023 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and at the 2024 Annual Conference & California School Business Expo being held from April 7 through April 10, 2024 at the Palm Springs Convention Center in California.

 

The Focus software machine auto design team has also made significant progress. With mathematical and graphical environments having been created, our team is focusing on developing the 3D user interface machine auto design.

 

Our public reporting automation software is completed and currently undergoing extensive testing. Reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K are time-consuming, complex processes that require each company’s financial team to gather and translate large amounts of data from multiple sources. The time and expertise required to complete the process is a substantial burden. Meanwhile, SEC reporting deadlines are firm and inflexible. This reality can interfere with other reporting timelines and leave a time-strapped team scrambling for the resources needed to meet all its reporting requirements. We have developed a Microsoft®-based add-on software that aims to streamline and automate the SEC reporting preparation process. We believe the software will significantly simplify the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K preparation processes and make creating, editing and managing documents both simple and accurate. Focus is planning to commercialize this software either in the fourth quarter of 2023 or the first quarter of 2024. A cloud-based version of this software is also under the development.

In 2023, Focus Universal Inc., through its Smart AVX subsidiary, received a Best of Show industry award for its Flexible Transparent Film Display during InfoComm 2023. InfoComm is North America's largest technology exhibition and conference focused on the professional audiovisual industry. The exhibition is produced by the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA) and currently ranks as a top 30 largest trade show in the United States by Trade Show Executive.

 

Furthermore, our devices and sensors with applications within hydroponics, including a (1) pH meter, (2) CO2 meter, (3) dissolved oxygen meter, (4) digital light meter, (5) new (and vastly improved) quantum par meter are under intensive testing; and we expect to receive new versions into our U.S. headquarters for management approval.

 

In summary, our entire smart home and hydroponic IoT lines are expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

 

Beyond IoT products, as a developer of a Natural Integrated Programming Language (NIPL) derivative product (i.e., our software platform for interoperability within the IoT), we have developed a complementary office automation software product. This specific software was designed to assist in completing financial reports faster, more accurately, and with greater ease of update, thereby eliminating the need for increased staffing especially in time sensitive projects. It is designed to save CPAs, auditors, accounting, and/or legal a significant amount of time in the preparation of SEC financial reports and other internal financial reporting. Eighty percent of this software development has been completed and we hope to launch a beta version of this product.

 

While we will continue to sell the following products through Hydrofarm, we expect to have upgraded versions of certain of these products to introduce in the event the older versions are discontinued:

 

Fan speed adjuster device. Designed specifically for centrifugal fans with brushless motors, our adjuster device helps ensure longer life by preventing damage to fan motors by adjusting the speed of centrifugal fans without causing the motor to hum. These devices are rated for 350 watts max, have 120VAC voltage capacity and feature an internal electronic auto-resetting circuit breaker.

 

Carbon filter devices. We sell two types of carbon filter devices. These carbon filter devices are professional grade filters specifically designed and used to filter the air in greenhouses that might be polluted by fermenting organics. One of these filters can be attached to a centrifugal fan to scrub the air in a constant circle or can be attached to an exhaust line as a single-pass filter, which moves air out of the growing area, filters unwanted odors and removes pollens, dust, and other debris in the air. The other filter is designed to be used with fans from 0-6000 C.F.M.

  

HEPA filtration device. We provide a high-efficiency particulate arrestance (“HEPA”) filtration device at wholesale prices to our client Hydrofarm. Manufactured, tested, certified, and labeled in accordance with current HEPA filter standards, this device is targeted towards greenhouses and grow rooms and designed to keep insects, bacteria, and mold out of grow rooms. We sell these devices in various sizes.

 

Digital light meter. We provide a handheld digital light meter that is used to measure luminance in fc units, or foot-candles.

  

Quantum par meter. We provide a handheld quantum par meter used to measure photosynthetically active radiation (“PAR”). This fully portable handheld PAR meter is designed to measure PAR flux in wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nm. It is designed to measure up to 10,000 µmol.

Ubiquitor Wireless Universal Sensor Device

 

We have developed a device we call the Ubiquitor, which replaces the functions of traditional digital measurement and sensing products by integrating many digital sensors and measurement tools into one single digital device. We believe the platform represents a technological advancement in the IoT marketplace by integrating large numbers of technologies, including cloud technology, wired and wireless communication technology, software programming, instrumentation technology, artificial intelligence, PLC technology, and sensor networking into a single platform. We believe the result of such integration is a smaller, cheaper, and faster circuit system design than those currently offered in the instrumentation market.

 

Our USIP technology that will make the Ubiquitor possible is an advanced software and hardware integrated instrumentation platform that uses a large-scale modular design approach. The large-scale modular design approach subdivides instruments into a foundation component (a USIP) and architecture-specific components (sensor nodes), which together replaces the functions of traditional instruments at a fraction of their cost. The USIP has an open architecture, incorporating a variety of individual instrument functions, sensors, and probes from different industries and vendors. The platform features the ability to connect potentially thousands of different sensors or probes, addressing major limitations present in traditional instrumentation systems.

 

The USIP, which is compatible with a significant percentage of the instruments currently manufactured, consists of universal and reusable hardware and software. The universal hardware in the USIP is (i) a smartphone, computer, or any mobile device capable of running our software that includes a display and either hardware controls or software control surfaces, and (ii) our Ubiquitor, which is designed to be the universal data logger that acts as a bridge between the computer or mobile device and the sensor nodes. We call our flagship USIP device the “Ubiquitor” due to its ability to measure and test a variety of electrical and physical phenomena such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, sound, light, and humidity—both wired and wirelessly.

 

We have created and assembled prototype models of the Ubiquitor in limited quantities and plan to expand our assembly in 2023. Our prototype Ubiquitor is compatible with standard desktop computers running either Windows OS or MacOS and Android- or iOS-based mobile devices and acts as a conduit that communicates with a group of sensors or probes manufactured by different vendors in a manner that requires the user to have little to no knowledge of their unique specifications. The data readout is displayed on the computer or mobile device display in application software we have created for use with a Windows PC and are creating for use with a Mac. We are designing the application software (the “App”) to have a graphical representation of control and indicator elements common in traditional tangible instruments, such as knobs, buttons, dials, and graphs, etc. Utilizing the Ubiquitor and the App, users and instrument manufacturers will be free to add, remove or change a sensor module for their special industrial or educational application without needing to create their own application software and design their own hardware. Our developers are designing and implementing a soft control touch screen interface that supports real-time data monitoring and facilitates instrument control and operation.

 

Recently, we have devoted a substantial number of resources to research and development in both the U.S. and China to bring the Ubiquitor and its App to full production and distribution. We anticipate that the sales and marketing involved with bringing the Ubiquitor to market will require us to hire a number of new sales and marketing employees in order to gain traction in the market. We expect this to be a continual process. We intend to introduce the Ubiquitor in smart home installations to reduce costs and increase functionality, as well as implement the Ubiquitor device in greenhouses and other agricultural warehouses that require regulation of light, humidity, temperature, and other measurable scientific units required to create optimal growing conditions.

 

Our universal smart development protocol focuses not only on the design of the hardware and software modules but also on the design of the overall universal smart instruments system, guided by the principles of structure, universality, and modularity. As mentioned, we believe we address the core and fundamental issues facing the IoT marketplace.

Our Ubiquitor device is a fully modular system with a universal sensor node and gateway system that uses a computer or mobile device as the output display module responsible for displaying the readings of various sensor nodes. We have completed an initial production run of prototype Ubiquitor devices and intend to proceed into full-scale production. We intend to design the Ubiquitor’s sensor analytics system to integrate event-monitoring, storage and analytics software in a cohesive package that provides a holistic view of the sensor data it is reading.

 

The physical hardware of the Ubiquitor will consist of:

 

  1. The sensor nodes, which come in hundreds of different varieties of sensor instruments in the form of a USB stick, with both male and female ports; and

 

  2. The Ubiquitor instrument as the main hardware gateway, which is a small cell phone-sized device with integrated circuits.

 

We believe the Ubiquitor device can connect up to thousands of potential sensor nodes and integrate data using embedded software to display the data and all analytics onto a digital screen (desktop, smartphone or mobile device displays) using a Wi-Fi connection. As disclosed in our patent application, we have already tested up to 256 sensor instrument readouts. Most types of nodes and probes can connect to the hardware. If the sensor size is bigger than the standard probe size, it is possible to simply use a USB cable to connect the probe and the hub. All data and analytics are displayed on a single screen, with tools that record and keep track of all measurements and sort and display analytic information in easy-to-read charts.

 

The Ubiquitor will be a general platform that collects data in real time, up to 100 Hz per second, and, thus, is intended to be adapted to many industrial uses.

 

By using the universal hardware or USIP, we believe we could achieve the following efficiencies in instrumentation systems:

 

  1. Cut production costs. Smartphone technology is widely used on the small sensor device market. By utilizing smartphone technology, the Ubiquitor will add superior functionality and performance, improve the product’s quality, and cut production costs.

 

  2. Reduce the effort required to develop a new sensor product. With the Ubiquitor, we believe that there will be no need for device manufacturers to research and develop new monitoring and operating components because they will just need to develop new sensor nodes or probes that may be integrated into our software technology.

 

  3. Reduce clutter. It is anticipated that the Ubiquitor could dispense with some of the hassle of connecting cables, since the Ubiquitor allows wireless transmission of sensor data and may allow wireless access to networks, such as a PLC network.

 

We have not yet started research and development of a second generation Ubiquitor device, but once we demonstrate the market for this product, we intend to begin such research and development. Accordingly, our current research and development is focused on concepts we can implement in the current first generation Ubiquitor device.

Focus Universal Corporate Services

 

Financial reporting is the process by which an organization communicates its financial performance to management, investors, creditors, and regulators. Companies routinely file financial reports, such as an annual report on Form 10-K and the financial statements included therein, to give a comprehensive view of the financial health of the organization to regulators and company stakeholders. These financial reports also keep investors aware of a company’s financial condition, allowing them to have the information they need before making an investment decision.

 

An annual report on Form 10-K is a comprehensive report filed annually by a publicly traded company detailing its financial performance. The annual report on Form 10-K contains more detail than the company’s annual report sent to its shareholders. Some of the information a company is required to document in the report on Form 10-K includes its history, organizational structure, financial statements, earnings per share, subsidiaries, executive compensation, and other relevant data.

 

The quarterly report on Form 10-Q is a comprehensive report of a company’s quarterly performance that must be submitted by all public companies to the SEC. The quarterly report on Form 10-Q is generally submitted with unaudited financial statements. In the quarterly report, companies are required to disclose additional relevant information regarding their financial position. These requirements generally include providing condensed financial statements, a management discussion and analysis on the financial condition of the company, and disclosures regarding market risk and internal controls.

 

It is critical that companies and their accountants and auditors understand all aspects and requirements of these periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, including an understanding of how specific regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and others are embedded within these reports and the attached financial statements.

 

Because of the depth and nature of the information they contain, reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q can become long and complicated. Preparation of these reports can become time-consuming, especially given the complex processes that require a company’s finance team to gather and translate large amounts of data from multiple sources. The time and expertise required to complete the process is a substantial burden. However, SEC reporting deadlines are firm and inflexible. These reporting requirements can interfere with other reporting timelines and leave a time-strapped team scrambling for the resources needed to meet all of their mandated reporting requirements.

 

Delays and mistakes in SEC financial reporting can have far-reaching consequences for companies and even for their shareholders. The consequences may include SEC review, enforcement actions, and penalties. Late filings can often lead to a drop in the company’s stock price and a decrease in investor confidence.

 

However, it is critically important that the company’s financial reporting is accurate, thorough, and up to date. Office software packages are widely used in all report preparation. While this software can do an excellent job on word processing, it often fails in the creation of the rigorously formatted tables and spreadsheets needed to populate the requisite financial information in the reports. Furthermore, because of the frequent incompatibility between programs in office software packages, the formatted tables required by financial reporting standards that are created by spreadsheets programs are destroyed when they are transferred a word processing file. Creating a formatted table using word processing is time-consuming and tedious work.

 

Human data entry of hundreds or thousands of financial numbers in the financial report imposes another challenge and presents risk of human error. This risk is compounded by the frequent requirement to update or revise these hundreds or thousands of numbers during the reviewing and auditing processes before submission.

 

 

 

 

 38 

 

 

Automation in financial reporting is, therefore, becoming increasingly important, given the complexity and volume of data involved. Companies are looking for solutions that not only save cost, and reduce the time and effort required to report in a timely manner but also improve accuracy and compliance. Focus Universal Inc. has developed an automated software solutions to address these challenges effectively and efficiently in the following ways:

 

Data Entry Automation: Our software’s automated data entry function reduces the risk of human errors and saves time. It is able to extract data from various sources and populate financial reports accurately.

 

Validation Checks: Our software includes built-in validation checks to ensure that the data is accurate and compliant with regulatory requirements. It also helps in identifying potential errors early in the reporting process.

 

Formatted Table Creation: Creating formatted tables which are often required in SEC financial reports, is a time-consuming task. Our software generates these tables accurately and efficiently.

 

AI-Driven Analytics: AI-driven analytics helps in identifying potential mistakes or areas for improvement in the reports. Our software provides insights and suggestions for enhancing the quality and accuracy of financial reporting.

 

Integration: Integration with existing financial systems and software is essential for a seamless reporting process. Our software connects with multiple data sources and financial software frequently used by reporting companies.

 

Security and Compliance: Security of data is critical, especially when dealing with sensitive financial data. Our software adheres to industry standards and regulations to ensure data security and compliance with reporting requirements.

 

It is worth noting that there are established companies like Insightsoftware, Workvia, and Toppan Merrill already providing SEC reporting automation solutions. These companies bring experience and expertise to the field. However, Insightsoftware concentrates on SEC reporting process design and offers a full-service solution for XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) submission. Workvia specializes in streamlining processes, connecting data and teams, and ensuring consistency in a secure, audit-ready, cloud platform. Toppan Merrill offers Bridge, a single, secure, integrated SaaS platform that connects a company’s team, data, and documents. Their focus is on providing a unified platform for handling various aspects of financial reporting, making it easier for teams to collaborate and maintain compliance.

 

Focus Universal Inc. is targeting to commercialize its financial reporting automation software by the end of 2023. Potential users can subscribe to our service and pay a monthly fee for access and use.

Research and Development Efforts of Power Line Communication

 

Power Line Communication (“PLC”) technology is a communication technology that enables sending data over existing power cables. One advantage of this technology is that PLC does not require substantial new investment for its communications infrastructure. Rather, PLC utilizes existing power lines, thereby forming a distribution network that already penetrates all residential, commercial and industrial premises. Accordingly, connectivity via PLC technology is potentially the most cost-effective, scalable interconnectivity approach for the IoT. We believe PLC technology can be an integral part of our communication infrastructure for the IoT, which enables reliable, real-time measurements, monitoring, and control. A large variety of appliances may be interconnected by transmitting data through the same wires that provide electrical energy.

 

Our patented PLC technology uses an ultra-narrowband spectrum channel of less than 1 KHz to establish a long-distance link between transmitter and receiver. Thus, we believe that our proprietary ultra-narrowband PLC technology will offer a promising alternative to wireless networks and provide the backbone communication infrastructure for IoT devices.

 

The primary design goal of the power line network is electric power distribution, not data transmission. The harsh electrical noise present on power lines and variations in equipment and standards make data transmission over the power grid difficult. These technological challenges have impeded, or even halted, progression of PLC technology.

 

 

 

 

 40 

 

 

We continue to build upon our existing research and development with the intention of inventing an ultra-narrowband PLC technology that attempts to tackle two challenges: (1) overcoming interference caused by electronic noise on the power line system; and (2) bandwidth. Preliminary internal testing suggests that we have achieved significant noise rejection and interference suppression. In our preliminary internal testing, we have been able to increase bandwidth to 4 megabits per second with the potential for more, while simultaneously effectively dealing with electrical noise and interference. Based on the promising results of our internal testing, we have begun designing a proprietary PLC microchip.

 

We believe that because residential and commercial structures already include multiple power outlets, the power line infrastructure represents an excellent network to share data among intelligent devices, particularly in the smart home installations that we are currently performing through AVX.

  

We plan to leverage the communications technology of PLC to enhance the Ubiquitor and make the Ubiquitor a central component of the smart home and gardening systems we are currently developing. The goal would be that our Ubiquitor would be used to send or receive control signals from a smart device and control hundreds of devices in near real time. We intend to apply the same concept to commercial and industrial applications.

 

Research and Development Efforts of 5G Cellular Technology

 

Just like our ultra-narrowband technology can be used to effectively reduce noise in powerline communication technology, our internal research suggests that our ultra-narrowband technology can be leveraged to create a type of 5G wireless communication technology that can achieve both low band 5G coverage and an estimated 1 Gbps high band speed. We employ an ultra-narrow spectrum channel (<1KHz) to establish an ultra-long-distance link between the 5G base station and the receiver which reduces noise and interference entering the bandwidth.

 

For a description of the ultra-narrowband technology and the 5G applications, see “Part I - Item 1. Business, Section 2. “Creating a faster 5G cellular technology by using ultra-narrowband technology” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

 

Intellectual Property Protection

 

On November 4, 2016, we filed a U.S. patent application number 15/344,041 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). On March 5, 2018, we issued a press release announcing that the USPTO published an Issue Notification for U.S. Patent Application No. 9924295 entitled “Universal Smart Device,” which covers a patent application regarding the Company’s Universal Smart Device. The patent was issued on March 20, 2018.

 

Subsequent to our internal research and development efforts, we filed with the USPTO on June 2, 2017 a patent application regarding a process for improving a spectral response curve of a photo sensor. The small and cost-effective multicolor sensor and its related software protected by the patent we believe could achieve a spectral response that approximates an ideal photo response to take optical measurement. The resulting U.S. Patent No. 10,251,037 was issued on February 26, 2019.

 

In addition, we have been notified that the USPTO published a notice of allowance for a patent application we filed on March 19, 2018, U.S. Patent Application  No. 15/925,400. The patent title is a “Universal Smart Device,” which is a universal smart instrument that unifies heterogeneous measurement probes into a single device that can analyze, publish, and share the data analyzed. The resulting U.S. Patent No. 10,251,037 was issued on April 2, 2019.

 

On November 29, 2019, the Company filed an international utility patent application through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) as International Patent Application No. PCT/US2019/63880. On September 6, 2022, the International Searching Authority (ISA) issued a favorable International Preliminary Report of Patentability (IPRP) regarding this patent application, which describes the Company’s PLC technology. The IPRP cited only three category “A” documents, indicating that the Company’s application met both the novelty and non-obviousness patentability requirements. Consequently, the Company is optimistic that a patent including claims directed to its PLC technology will be issued in due course and will allow the Company to protect its PLC technology.

 

 

 

 

 41 

 

 

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we hired the law firm of Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP (“Knobbe Martens”) to serve as outside intellectual property counsel for the Company. The firm is working on converting the Company’s provisional patent applications to formal nonprovisional patent applications and expanding existing patent portfolios. In addition, Knobbe Martens is working on filing four previously unfiled patents and pursuing patent coverage in Europe and Australia. In addition, in May 2022, the Company engaged Chang & Hale, LLP as suggested by our counsel at Knobbe Martens to assist with two new patents, noting that Knobbe Martens still remains our main IP counsel. Currently, the Company has 18 pending U.S. nonprovisional patent applications and 9 issued U.S. patents.

 

The Company’s patent number 11,488,468 was allowed and subsequently issued on November 1, 2022. The patent is titled “Sensor for Detecting the Proximity of an IEEE 802.11 Protocol Connectable Device.” On November 7, 2023, our patent application titled “Activated Carbon Air Filter” issued as U.S. Patent No. 11,806,654. We also just received an issue notification from the USPTO, indicating that our patent application titled “Electronic Lock and Method of Operation” will issue on November 21, 2023, as U.S. Patent No. 11,823,513.

 

Competitors

 

We have identified several competitors specifically in the wireless sensor node industry, including traditional instruments or device manufacturers. Hach developed and launched the SC1000 Multi-parameter Universal Controller, a probe module for connecting up to 32 digital sensors or analyzers. However, their products are not compatible with smart phones yet; and we believe their price point is still prohibitive to consumers. Monnit Corporation offers a range of wireless and remote sensors. Many of Monnit’s products are web-based wireless sensors that usually are not portable because of their power consumption. Also, the sensors’ real-time updates are slow; and we believe security of the web-based sensor data acquisition may also be a concern. In addition to purchasing the device, consumers usually have to pay monthly fees for using web-based services. We are not trying to compete with traditional instruments or device manufacturers because we utilize our Ubiquitor device in conjunction with our smartphone application, which we believe will be a completely different product category.

 

IoT Installation Industry

 

There are several companies that compete with AVX in smart home installations, including Vivint Smart Home, Savant, Crestron and Control4. However, we believe we can distinguish ourselves from our competitors by offering substantially more customization and interoperability with existing platforms. While our service offerings do not rely on always providing the entire installation for the end client, our company is able to seamlessly provide accenting, replacement, or conversion home automation systems which are easier to use and interoperate for the end client, and with limited rewiring. Complete installation by Crestron ranges between $100,000 and $500,000 and an installation by Control4 ranges between $70,000 and $250,000. The cheapest competitor we can identify in this sector is Vivint Smart Home, which costs less than $50,000 to install; however, we understand that the Vivint Smart Home focuses on security systems only and that users have no other smart applications, which our smart home product line would include. Our sales staff have encountered a growing client base of unhappy customers with the pre-existing and completely siloed platform systems that reportedly are not easy to use or program, require costly specialty service for simple operations, are subject to lengthy software and hardware backlogs, and despite being based on the same platform, fail to operate compatibly, possessing frequent errors and bugs.

 

Air Filtration Systems and Meter Products Industry

 

The air filtration system and meter products industry is a niche industry. Air purification methods are an effective way to control contaminants and improve indoor air quality; and as a result, many national and local governments overseeing indoor air quality and other emissions are enacting stricter workforce health and safety regulations in this area, which drives demand.

Market Potential

 

We believe universal wireless smart technology will play a critical role for traditional instrument manufacturers, as currently the undertaking of an IoT project is simply too expensive and difficult to develop for medium or smaller companies and carries a 75% failure rate according to Cisco Systems.1 The cost factor is the first consideration when deciding whether a company wants to develop smart wireless technologies and implement them into their products or use them in their field testing. We also hope to play a role in academic laboratories, particularly with smaller academic laboratories that are sensitive to price. Regarding the larger IoT industry statistics, overall enterprise IoT spending increased to $201 billion in 2022, an increase of 21.5%. The outlook for growth in 2023 is 18.5% from this large base of enterprise spending.2 More specifically, the IoT sensors market is projected to reach $26 billion by 2026 from $11.1 billion in 2022.3 The IoT marketplace size assessments usually include the hardware components and the software components, which often contain a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Additionally, the rising need for reliable high bandwidth communication for IoT devices is expected to rise to $664.75 billion in 2028, spearheaded by the currently predominant services in the 5G category.4 We would also expect this market to grow with the addition of new categories of services delivering reliable high bandwidth communication for IoT devices and would cannibalize and expand the existing services where the new services proved to be more effective and efficient.

 

We also expect our recent growth within our IoT Installation Services segment and acquisition of AT Tech Systems coupled with the new management within AVX to bolster and complement both companies, and all other related installation businesses of these IoT products. The number of new contracts we have signed thus far in a limited amount of time through the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is 22 with an average value of $42,125 and a total collection value of $796,850 in signed contracts. Additionally, thus far, we have an aggregate $1,818,668 in contracts agreed in principle, of which we expect to be signed and deposits paid. This is compared to our highest AVX revenue for a calendar year of $817,233 in 2019, followed by $705,877 in 2020, $252,958 in 2021, and $260,871 in 2022. Our sales target for the year are 31 service contracts, of which we have already signed 22. We have targeted 16 LED contracts for 2023, of which we have signed 9 thus far. We have also target distribution and partnerships agreements and phone line contracts, all of which have already begun in the third quarter of 2023. While statistics regarding the IoT installation sectors are difficult to aggregate given that the work is often are pieced off into various contractor service categories, the residential custom installation market ranges from $5.7 billion to $12.1 billion, 5 and we would expect the commercial and industrial installation markets to be larger than the residential for IoT devices.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $201,394, compared to $42,441 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. While the overall cost of revenue increased, as a percent of revenue, costs went down as a result of higher margin contracts for IoT Installation Services being signed. In addition to the increase in revenue, gross profit increased to $116,976 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $18,213 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Operating Expenses

 

The major components of our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are outlined in the table below:

 

   For the three months ended September 30, 2023   For the three months ended September 30, 2022   Increase
(Decrease)
$
 
Selling expense   33,636    76,984    (43,348)
Compensation – officers and directors   267,002    265,449    1,553 
Research and development   305,872    133,109    172,763 
Professional fees   132,914    150,943    (18,029)

Total operating expenses  $1,147,275   $992,179   $155,096 

 

Selling expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $33,636, compared to $76,984 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Selling expense incurred was mainly from third party advertising fees and marketing related fees. The decrease of selling expense was due to a decrease in advertising fees and trade show expenses.

 

Compensation – officers and directors was $267,002 and $265,449 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was due to an increase in the compensation amount received by the board of directors.

 

Research and development costs were $305,872 and $133,109 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was due to an increase in the number of research and development employee headcount in the Ontario, California headquarters and the Shenzhen, China subsidiary.

 

Professional fees were $132,914 during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $150,943 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in these professional fees compared to the prior period was due to a decrease in new transaction-based legal paperwork for the Company (as much of this paperwork was completed earlier) and a decrease in employment litigation legal fees.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $407,851, compared to $365,694 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The primary reason for the increase was due to an increase in overall payroll tax in 2023.

 

Other Income (expense)

 

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $62,266, compared to $31,946 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to $30,000 consulting advisory service income provided to an independent third party.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $487,393 due to a sales increase from our acquisition of AT Tech Systems and sales increase in AVX sales due to ramping up marketing efforts. This increase of revenue was mainly a result of the increase of IoT Installation Services being bolstered by additional resources such as increased headcount.

 

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $531,397, compared to $243,004 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. While the overall cost of revenue increased, as a percent of revenue, costs went down as a result of higher margin contracts for IoT Installation Services being signed.

 45 

 

 

Research and development costs were $925,345 and $862,214 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was due to an increase in total number of research and development employee headcount in the Ontario, California headquarters and the Shenzhen, China subsidiary.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,212,486, compared to $1,586,660 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The primary reason for the decrease was due to decreases in general and administrative salaries from $579,958 to $223,957 in 2023, lease expense from $280,311 to $104,156 in 2023, and insurance expense from $330,768 to $240,078 in 2023. The relating decrease was due to the following reasons:

a) Decreased number of general and administrative employees in our headquarters due to outsourcing of work to third parties;

b) Relocated Focus Shenzhen office to lower lease expense; and

c) Obtained better insurance deal from another insurance company.

 

Other Income (expense)

 

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $242,317 compared to $230,928 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to $61,747 gain on bargain purchase and $30,000 consulting advisory services income provided to an independent third party.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Our net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,603,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of our net loss of $3,100,442 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses. The change in operating assets and liabilities includes an increase in accounts receivable of $101,461, a decrease in accounts receivable – related party of $34,507, an increase in inventories of $196,201, an increase in other receivables of $10,000, a decrease in prepaid expense of $31,811 a decrease in deposit of $8,388, a decrease in operating lease right-of-use asset of $25,585, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $53,709, an increase in other current liabilities of $33,759, and a decrease in lease liabilities of $58,987. Non-cash expense included add-backs of $6,871 in bad debt expense, $127,171 in depreciation expense, $28,741 in amortization of intangible assets, $2,002 in realized loss on marketable securities, $183,004 in stock-based compensation - shares, and $400,208 in stock option compensation, reductions of $10,463 in unrealized gain on marketable equity securities, and $61,747 in gain on bargain purchase.

 

Our net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,435,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of our net loss of $3,872,247 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses. The change in operating assets and liabilities includes an increase in accounts receivable of $32,257, an increase in accounts receivable – related party of $45,413, an increase in inventories of $5,087, a decrease in prepaid expense of $116,648, an decrease in deposit of $1,998, a decrease in operating lease right-of-use asset of $226,468, an decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $120,121, a decrease in other current liabilities of $17,135, an decrease in customer deposit of $271, a decrease in lease liabilities of $94,542, and an increase in other liabilities of $12,335.

We expect that cash flows from operating activities may fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our net revenues and operating results, utilization of new revenue streams, in line with our shifting revenue streams, collection of accounts receivable, and timing of billings and payments.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had cash inflow from investing activities of $54,472. That inflow was primarily the result from the purchase of property and equipment of $20,294, purchase of marketable securities of $144,907, and proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $219,673. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had cash outflow from investing activities of $177,738. That outflow was primarily the result of the purchase of property and equipment of $39,193, purchase of marketable securities of $768,949, and proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $630,404.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had cash outflows of $385,686 due to purchase of treasury stock of $1,385,686 and proceeds from related party loan of $1,000,000. There were no financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these unconsolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently suffered recurring loss from operations, generated negative cash flow from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company has a net loss of $3,100,442 and $3,872,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,964,470 and $17,864,028 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,603,545 and $2,435,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As noted above, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation SK.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, at the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our Company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

 

Our management concluded we did not maintain effective controls over the Company’s financial reporting. The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, caused principally by inadequate staffing and technical expertise in key positions, resulted in overly relying on outside consultants to make numerous adjustments to our financial statements. Additionally, the significant deficiencies or material weaknesses could result in future material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Management has concluded that the identified control deficiencies constitute a material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.

LOAN AGREEMENT

 

$1,000,000.00 Date: August 24, 2023

 

For value received, the undersigned Focus Universal Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of Golden Sunrise Investment LLC, a California limited liability company (“Lender”), at 22443 Ridge Line Rd. Diamond Bar CA 91765 (or at such other place as the Lender may designate in writing), and Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower, the sum of One Million U.S. Dollars ($1,000.000.00) at the rate of Twelve Percent (12 %) per annum fixed (the “Loan”) until the date it is due.

 

I. TERMS OF REPAYMENT

 

A. Payments

 

Upon Borrower signing this Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall make monthly interest payments of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) to the Lender, covering the interest on the Loan until the due date.

 

The principal and any accrued interest of the Loan shall be fully payable on August 25, 2024, or Twelve (12) Months from the date the Loan is funded, whichever is later (the “Due Date”).

 

Any unpaid principal after the Due Date or following any default by the Borrower as described below shall accrue interest at a fixed rate of 15% per annum until fully paid.

Borrower will also pay the broker service fee. This Loan transaction was meticulously orchestrated and subjected to scrutiny by the distinguished Real Estate Broker Country Queen Real Estate, (insert name of broker), Country Queen Real Estate (the “Broker”). In this capacity, Broker, an esteemed real estate broker, served as an impartial third-party intermediary, distinct from any direct involvement as a contractual party to the Loan arrangement. The Broker, in the capacity of an intermediary, diligently facilitated the acquisition and origination of the Loan. In the course of executing this role, Broker Country Queen Real Estate undertook pivotal actions, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  ·Structuring the Loan in the capacity of an agent on behalf of the Lender, thereby intricately establishing parameters for the interest rate and associated points.
    
  ·Formulating the terms of the forbearance agreement, an integral component of the Loan arrangement.
    
  ·Engaging in a comprehensive review of the Loan documentation and the corresponding forbearance instruments, ensuring legal compliance and adherence to established standards.

The Broker’s involvement extended to evaluating and verifying the terms of the Loan Agreement.

No delay in enforcing any right of the Lender under this Loan Agreement, or assignment by Lender of this Loan Agreement, or failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of default in the payment of a monthly installment or the acceptance of a past-due installment shall be construed as a waiver of the right of Lender to thereafter insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Loan Agreement without notice being given to Borrower. All rights of the Lender under this Loan Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or consecutively at the Lender’s option.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Focus and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfecular, AVX, Focus Shenzhen, Lusher and AT Tech Systems (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company currently has three operating segments. First, Focus and Focus Shenzhen collectively operate our “Corporate and R&D” segment, which involves the non-specific financing, executive expense, operations and investor relations of our public entity, and the general shared management and costs across the Company’s subsidiaries that spread across all functional categories and research and development of technology products. Second, Perfecular, AVX (doing business as and branded under Smart AVX) and Lusher jointly operate the “IoT Products” segment, which involves the wholesale, marketing, and production of our universal smart instruments and devices in the hydroponic and controlled agriculture segments and of our smart products into the commercial and home automation sectors. And third, AVX (exclusive of the smart IoT Products sales under Smart AVX) and AT Tech Systems cooperatively run our “IoT Installation Services” segment, which handles our IoT installation and management business specializing in high performance and easy to use audio/video systems, home theaters, lighting control, automation, and integration.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that 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 and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the lease term impacting right-of-use asset with the estimate discount rate and lease liability, useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives of intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, stock option valuation, share-based compensation, fair value of warrants, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash. At times, such investments may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, approximately $616,174 and $3,120,763 of the Company’s cash was not insured by the FDIC. There were no cash equivalents held by the Company as of either September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to clients that sell the Company’s products or engage in construction service under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and do not require collateral to support customer receivables. The accounts receivable balances are generally collected within 30 to 180 days of the product sale.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection trends and review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $229,843 and $222,972, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by investing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of parts and finished goods and is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost or net realizable value under the first in, first out method (“FIFO Method”). Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and a fair value adjustment is made to write down inventory to market value, if lower. Inventory fair value adjustments are recorded for obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on assumptions about future demand and marketability of products, the impact of new product introductions and specific identification of items, such as discontinued products. These estimates could vary significantly from actual requirements, for example, if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from expectations. The Company regularly reviews the value of inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. If net realized value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its net realizable value.

 

Marketable Equity Securities

 

The Company invests part of its excess treasury cash in equity securities and money market funds according to company treasury and investment policies. Marketable securities represent trading securities bought and held primarily for sale in the near-term to generate income on short-term price differences and are stated at fair value. Realized gains and losses are recognized the fair value differences when the trading securities been sold based on the FIFO Method. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized the fair value differences of unsold trading securities for the period end based on the FIFO Method. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense).

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in earnings. Maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 
Fixed assets Useful life
Furniture 5 years
Equipment 5 years
Warehouse 39 years
Improvement 5 years
Land N/A

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that those fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when circumstances warrant as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Based on its review at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets were acquired from AT Tech Systems due to customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. These intangible assets were valued based on the AT Tech Systems business acquisition during January 2023. The value is based on the assessed income expected to be generated from the existing customer list, namely the carry-over of the existing contracts after a careful evaluation of the customer list. Amortization on the intangible assets was computed by the percentage completed for these existing assets and fully amortized as of September 30, 2023.

 

Treasury stock

 

Purchases and sales of treasury stock are accounted for using the cost method. Under this method, shares acquired are recorded at the acquisition price directly to the treasury stock account. The Company does not recognize a gain or loss to income from the purchase and sale of treasury stock.

 

Share-Based Compensation

  

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock options, grants, and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

 

The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period during which services are received.

 

The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model (see Note 12) and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. 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.

 

The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company does not have any outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Stock Dividends

 

The Company issued a fifty percent (50%) stock dividend of the Company’s common stock to its shareholders for a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock held. The Company follows paragraph ASC 505-20-25 in treating its stock dividend as a stock split due to the stock dividend being greater than 25% of the shares then outstanding. On March 23, 2023 and April 3, 2023, the Company issued 21,592,164 stock dividends to its shareholders for a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company also adheres to paragraph ASC 260-10-55-12, wherein it retroactively adjusted its statement of stockholders’ equity for all presented periods to incorporate the alteration in capital structure. The retroactive treatment is based on a fifty percent (50%) stock dividend of the Company’s common stock to its shareholders on March 23, 2023. The Company does not capitalize its retained earnings, and there is no impact to the Company’s overall equity or its total assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph ASC 825-10-50-10 for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph ASC 820-10-35-37 (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

  · Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
  · Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
  · Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

  

The following table summarize financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: 

                
   September 30, 2023 (unaudited) 
   Fair Value   Carrying 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Value 
Assets                
Marketable securities:                    
Stock  $39,165   $   $   $39,165 
Total assets measured at fair value  $39,165   $   $   $39,165 

 

 

   December 31, 2022 
   Fair Value   Carrying 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Value 
Assets                
Marketable securities:                    
Stock  $105,470   $   $   $105,470 
Total assets measured at fair value  $105,470   $   $   $105,470 

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable, treasury stock payable and accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and customer deposits, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

However, it is not practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 was comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. The Company’s updated accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue from the Company is recognized under ASC 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  · executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
     
  · identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  · determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  · allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  · recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

  

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue categories, is summarized below:

 

  · Product sales – revenue is recognized at the time of sale upon the delivery of equipment to the customer.
     
  · Service sales – revenue is recognized based on the service having been provided and the agreed upon performance obligation has been completed to the customer.

 

Revenue from our project construction is recognized over time using the percentage-of-completion method under the cost approach. The percentage of completion is determined by estimating stage of work completed. Under this approach, recognized contract revenue equals the total estimated contract revenue multiplied by the percentage of completion. Our construction contracts are unit priced, and an accounts receivable is recorded for amounts invoiced based on actual units produced.

 

Cost of Revenue, excluding depreciation & amortization

 

Cost of revenue includes the cost of services, labor and product incurred to provide product sales, service sales and project sales.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of efforts to refine existing product models and develop new product models.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows Section 10 of FASB ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20 the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of ASC 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows Section 20 of FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies to report accounting for loss contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

Gain on Bargain Purchase

 

A bargain purchase gain is recognized when the net assets acquired in a business combination have a higher fair value than the consideration paid.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, the Company does not foresee generating taxable income in the near future and utilizing its deferred tax asset, therefore, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income, expense and credit items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. There were no material deferred tax assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is computed pursuant to Section 10-45 of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of stock and potentially outstanding shares of stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangements, stock options or warrants.

 

Due to the net loss incurred by the Company, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

While the EPS treatment was applied in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and a fifty percent stock dividend adjustment on March 23, 2023 is also retroactive accordingly.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The reporting and functional currency of Focus is the U.S. dollar (USD). The functional currency of Focus Shenzhen is the renminbi (RMB).

 

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of Focus Shenzhen, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the USD. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period. Stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

 

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. The resulting exchange difference, presented as foreign currency transaction loss, is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The exchange rates used for unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Going Concern

 

The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these unconsolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently suffered recurring loss from operations, generated negative cash flow from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

  

The Company has a net loss of $3,100,442 and $3,872,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,964,470 and $17,864,028 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,603,545 and $2,435,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As noted above, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the use of the new forward-looking “expected loss” model, rather than the “incurred loss” model, which requires all expected losses to be determined based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance amends the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company believes the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Second, Perfecular, AVX (doing business as Smart AVX) and Lusher jointly operate the “IoT Products” segment, which involves the wholesale, marketing, and production of our universal smart instruments and devices in the hydroponic and controlled agriculture segments and of our smart instruments into the commercial and home automation sectors. And third, AVX (exclusive of the smart IoT Products sales under Smart AVX) and AT Tech Systems cooperatively run our “IoT Installation Services” segment, which handles our IoT installation and management business specializing in high performance and easy to use audio/video systems, home theaters, lighting control, automation, and integration.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
Business Combination

Note 15 – Business Combination

 

On January 6, 2023, the Company completed the business combination of AT Tech Systems for a purchase price of $1 in cash. The Company’s intangible assets were acquired from AT Tech Systems due to customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. Amortization on the intangible assets was fully amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. A bargain purchase gain is recognized when the net assets acquired in a business combination have a higher fair value than the consideration paid. The result of AT Tech Systems’ operations has been included in the condensed consolidated financial statement since that date.

 

The following table summarizes the purchase consideration and fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 6, 2023:

    
Assets:    
Accounts receivable  $33,007 
Intangible assets   28,741 
Total assets acquired  $61,747 
      
Liabilities:     
Accounts payable  $ 
Total liabilities assumed    
      
Purchase Price   (1)
      
Total bargain purchase gain  $61,747 

 

As a result of above information that existed as of the combination date, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $61,747 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

The excess of the aggregate net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the fair value of consideration transferred as the purchase price has been recorded as a bargain purchase gain. Upon completion of the valuation of the acquired assets, the Company concluded that recording a bargain purchase gain with respect to AT Tech Systems was appropriate and required under U.S. GAAP. The Company believes the seller was motivated to complete the transaction as part of an overall repositioning of its business.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Focus and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfecular, AVX, Focus Shenzhen, Lusher and AT Tech Systems (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

The Company currently has three operating segments. First, Focus and Focus Shenzhen collectively operate our “Corporate and R&D” segment, which involves the non-specific financing, executive expense, operations and investor relations of our public entity, and the general shared management and costs across the Company’s subsidiaries that spread across all functional categories and research and development of technology products. Second, Perfecular, AVX (doing business as and branded under Smart AVX) and Lusher jointly operate the “IoT Products” segment, which involves the wholesale, marketing, and production of our universal smart instruments and devices in the hydroponic and controlled agriculture segments and of our smart products into the commercial and home automation sectors. And third, AVX (exclusive of the smart IoT Products sales under Smart AVX) and AT Tech Systems cooperatively run our “IoT Installation Services” segment, which handles our IoT installation and management business specializing in high performance and easy to use audio/video systems, home theaters, lighting control, automation, and integration.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that 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 and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the lease term impacting right-of-use asset with the estimate discount rate and lease liability, useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives of intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, stock option valuation, share-based compensation, fair value of warrants, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions.

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash. At times, such investments may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, approximately $616,174 and $3,120,763 of the Company’s cash was not insured by the FDIC. There were no cash equivalents held by the Company as of either September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to clients that sell the Company’s products or engage in construction service under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and do not require collateral to support customer receivables. The accounts receivable balances are generally collected within 30 to 180 days of the product sale.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection trends and review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $229,843 and $222,972, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by investing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

 

Inventory

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of parts and finished goods and is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost or net realizable value under the first in, first out method (“FIFO Method”). Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and a fair value adjustment is made to write down inventory to market value, if lower. Inventory fair value adjustments are recorded for obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on assumptions about future demand and marketability of products, the impact of new product introductions and specific identification of items, such as discontinued products. These estimates could vary significantly from actual requirements, for example, if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from expectations. The Company regularly reviews the value of inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. If net realized value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its net realizable value.

 

Marketable Equity Securities

Marketable Equity Securities

 

The Company invests part of its excess treasury cash in equity securities and money market funds according to company treasury and investment policies. Marketable securities represent trading securities bought and held primarily for sale in the near-term to generate income on short-term price differences and are stated at fair value. Realized gains and losses are recognized the fair value differences when the trading securities been sold based on the FIFO Method. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized the fair value differences of unsold trading securities for the period end based on the FIFO Method. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense).

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in earnings. Maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 
Fixed assets Useful life
Furniture 5 years
Equipment 5 years
Warehouse 39 years
Improvement 5 years
Land N/A

 

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that those fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when circumstances warrant as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Based on its review at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets were acquired from AT Tech Systems due to customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method. These intangible assets were valued based on the AT Tech Systems business acquisition during January 2023. The value is based on the assessed income expected to be generated from the existing customer list, namely the carry-over of the existing contracts after a careful evaluation of the customer list. Amortization on the intangible assets was computed by the percentage completed for these existing assets and fully amortized as of September 30, 2023.

 

Treasury stock

Treasury stock

 

Purchases and sales of treasury stock are accounted for using the cost method. Under this method, shares acquired are recorded at the acquisition price directly to the treasury stock account. The Company does not recognize a gain or loss to income from the purchase and sale of treasury stock.

 

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

  

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock options, grants, and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

 

The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period during which services are received.

 

The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model (see Note 12) and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. 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.

 

The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

Warrants

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company does not have any outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Stock Dividends

Stock Dividends

 

The Company issued a fifty percent (50%) stock dividend of the Company’s common stock to its shareholders for a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock held. The Company follows paragraph ASC 505-20-25 in treating its stock dividend as a stock split due to the stock dividend being greater than 25% of the shares then outstanding. On March 23, 2023 and April 3, 2023, the Company issued 21,592,164 stock dividends to its shareholders for a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company also adheres to paragraph ASC 260-10-55-12, wherein it retroactively adjusted its statement of stockholders’ equity for all presented periods to incorporate the alteration in capital structure. The retroactive treatment is based on a fifty percent (50%) stock dividend of the Company’s common stock to its shareholders on March 23, 2023. The Company does not capitalize its retained earnings, and there is no impact to the Company’s overall equity or its total assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph ASC 825-10-50-10 for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph ASC 820-10-35-37 (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

  · Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
  · Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
  · Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

  

The following table summarize financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: 

                
   September 30, 2023 (unaudited) 
   Fair Value   Carrying 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Value 
Assets                
Marketable securities:                    
Stock  $39,165   $   $   $39,165 
Total assets measured at fair value  $39,165   $   $   $39,165 

 

 

   December 31, 2022 
   Fair Value   Carrying 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Value 
Assets                
Marketable securities:                    
Stock  $105,470   $   $   $105,470 
Total assets measured at fair value  $105,470   $   $   $105,470 

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable, treasury stock payable and accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and customer deposits, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

However, it is not practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 was comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. The Company’s updated accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue from the Company is recognized under ASC 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  · executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
     
  · identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  · determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  · allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  · recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

  

These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue categories, is summarized below:

 

  · Product sales – revenue is recognized at the time of sale upon the delivery of equipment to the customer.
     
  · Service sales – revenue is recognized based on the service having been provided and the agreed upon performance obligation has been completed to the customer.

 

Revenue from our project construction is recognized over time using the percentage-of-completion method under the cost approach. The percentage of completion is determined by estimating stage of work completed. Under this approach, recognized contract revenue equals the total estimated contract revenue multiplied by the percentage of completion. Our construction contracts are unit priced, and an accounts receivable is recorded for amounts invoiced based on actual units produced.

 

Cost of Revenue, excluding depreciation & amortization

Cost of Revenue, excluding depreciation & amortization

 

Cost of revenue includes the cost of services, labor and product incurred to provide product sales, service sales and project sales.

 

Research and development

Research and development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of efforts to refine existing product models and develop new product models.

 

Related Parties

Related Parties

 

The Company follows Section 10 of FASB ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20 the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of ASC 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows Section 20 of FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies to report accounting for loss contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

Gain on Bargain Purchase

Gain on Bargain Purchase

 

A bargain purchase gain is recognized when the net assets acquired in a business combination have a higher fair value than the consideration paid.

 

Income Tax Provision

Income Tax Provision

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, the Company does not foresee generating taxable income in the near future and utilizing its deferred tax asset, therefore, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income, expense and credit items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. There were no material deferred tax assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is computed pursuant to Section 10-45 of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of stock and potentially outstanding shares of stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangements, stock options or warrants.

 

Due to the net loss incurred by the Company, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 

        
Nine Months Ended September 30,  2023   2022 
Stock options   497,092    305,041 
Total   497,092    305,041 

 

While the EPS treatment was applied in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and a fifty percent stock dividend adjustment on March 23, 2023 is also retroactive accordingly.

 

Reclassification

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The reporting and functional currency of Focus is the U.S. dollar (USD). The functional currency of Focus Shenzhen is the renminbi (RMB).

 

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of Focus Shenzhen, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the USD. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period. Stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

 

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. The resulting exchange difference, presented as foreign currency transaction loss, is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The exchange rates used for unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Going Concern

Going Concern

 

The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these unconsolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently suffered recurring loss from operations, generated negative cash flow from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

  

The Company has a net loss of $3,100,442 and $3,872,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,964,470 and $17,864,028 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,603,545 and $2,435,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As noted above, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
