Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and 2020

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

Signet International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 2, 2005. The Company’s principal business plan was to focus in developing advanced technologies, energy solutions and medical devices. The Company has no operating history as of yet.  

Note 2 - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $174,911 and $159,150 respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021 and has no revenues in 2021 or 2020. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of $8,029,435, $18,558, and $18,558, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The Company is monitoring this closely. Although the Company has had occasion to travel overseas for meetings, expos, and demonstrations, the Company experienced similar restrictions. The outcome of the Company’s business meeting is indeterminate. However, the Company continues to maintain a dialogue with its European counterparts.  The Company’s operations have not been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, however, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. As of the date of this report, the Company’s business remains open. At this time, the Company does not foresee any material changes to its operations from COVID-19. While the Company does not anticipate an impact on its operations, the Company cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if the Company’s business must close. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to its business, including weakened demand for the Company’s products and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its three wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All wholly-owned subsidiaries were inactive subsidiaries at December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of equity-based instruments issued for other than cash, valuation of right-of-use assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Risks and uncertainties for development stage company

The Company is considered to be in an early stage since we have not commenced planned principal operations. Our activities since inception include devoting substantially all of the Company’s efforts to business planning and development. Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment to the completion of the Company’s development activities to launch its marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. The Company has not generated revenue from operations and is currently in the development stage. The Company’s activities during this early stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

December 31, 2021 and 2020

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

These inputs are prioritized below: 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including prepaid expense, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued salaries are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Property

Property is carried at cost which made up of office equipment. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The Company shall capitalize cost of property over $1,500.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to non-employees for goods and services, and to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values.

Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of highly subjective variables.

The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for employee stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

Research and development

In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, research and development costs were $1,000 and $6,000, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Net loss per share of common stock 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 50,000,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding related to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for both periods (see Note 4). Those potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Long-lived assets,” which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.

Leases

The Company follows ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842) and applying the package of practical expedients, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. Operating lease right of use assets (“ROU”) represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and will be included in general and administrative expenses.

The authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Preferred stock

The Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue, from time to time, preferred stock in one or more series for such consideration and with such relative rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions that the Board may determine. The preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and purchase funds and other matters. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

On March 14, 2007, the Company formally designated a series of Super Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock”) of the Company’s 50,000,000 authorized shares of the capital preferred stock of the Corporation.  The designated Series A Super Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, consists of 5,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share, which shall have the following preferences, powers, designations and other special rights:

There were 5,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Common stock

During the year ended December 31, 2020:

In January 2020, the Company settled accrued salaries to its former Chief Executive Officer (“Former CEO”) in the amount of $94,422 by issuing 829,721 shares of common stock at a price of approximately $0.11 per share, based on recent private placement sales of common stock on the date of grant. Additionally, the Former CEO forgave accrued salary of $366,530.

During fiscal year 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,456,603 to various consultants of the Company for services rendered with fair value of $165,368 or an average of approximately $0.1135 per share, based on recent private placement sales of common stock on the dates of grants.

During the year ended December 31, 2021:

Note 5 – Income Taxes

The Company has incurred historical aggregate net operating losses of approximately $2,182,527 for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2021. The net operating loss carries forward for United States income taxes, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears not more than likely than not due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to zero. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as necessary.

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

The Company’s approximate net deferred tax asset was as follows:

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act decreases the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from a maximum of 34% to a flat 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Act also includes a number of other provisions including, among others, the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks and limitations on the use of future losses, the repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax regime and the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction. These provisions are not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation. Given the significant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional implementation guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, further implications of the Act may be identified in future periods.

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 because it was not known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward. The increase in the allowance was $44,593 in fiscal 2021. The potential tax benefit arising from the loss carryforward of approximately $1,668,018 accumulated through December 31, 2017 will expire in 2037 and the fiscal 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 net operating loss carryforward of approximately $514,509 may be carried forward indefinitely.

Additionally, the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes or business changes that could occur in the future. If necessary, the deferred tax assets will be reduced by any carryforward that expires prior to utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position. The Company’s 2019, 2020 and 2021 Corporate Income Tax Returns are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

Operating lease

In January 2018, the Company entered into a one-year sub-lease agreement related to its leased office facilities in Palm Beach, FL with the Former CEO of the Company (see Note 7). The lease shall automatically be extended for successive one-year renewal term not to exceed 5 annual renewal terms in total unless the landlord or tenant gives a written notice of non-renewal on or before 30 days prior to expiration of the term. The lease required monthly payments of approximately $1,136 plus sales tax and the Company was not responsible for any additional charges for common area maintenance. The monthly rent was subject to an increase by 2% at the end of each year. On July 1, 2021, the Company early terminated the sub-lease agreement and entered into a new one-year lease agreement with the landlord (see Note 7). Accordingly, on July 1, 2021, the Company reversed the remaining balance of the ROU asset of $19,379, operating lease liability of $20,018 and credited the difference to lease expense of $639. In March 2022, the Company early terminated the new lease agreement.

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. On January 1, 2020, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets $45,645 and total lease liabilities of $45,645 based on an incremental borrowing rate of 12%. For the respective years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we paid an aggregate of $14,564 and $15,100 for rent under this agreement, respectively.
