PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

General Overview

 

Authentic Holdings Inc. formerly Global Fiber Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on March 25, 2005 as “Premier Publishing Group, Inc.”. Originally formed as a publishing company, the Company ceased its publishing operations in or around 2007.

  

The Company created a new subsidiary, ECO CHAIN 360, Inc. in November 2018 for the purpose of operating as an intermediary providing an expedited trading platform for buyers and sellers to efficiently consummate fiber transactions. The Company owns 51% of ECO CHAIN 360, Inc. ECO CHAIN 360, Inc. has had no operations to date nor did it have assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

On June 18, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of assets from AH Originals, Inc. (“AHO”), a corporation controlled by the same owner group of Authentic Holdings Inc. formerly Global Fiber Technologies, Inc. for the consideration of 6,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be issued and the issuance of a promissory note of $447,150 that bears 3% interest per annum and has a one-year term with eight options to extend the maturity date for three-month periods.

Our address is 50 Division Street Suite 500, Somerset NJ 08873. Our corporate website is http://globalfibertechnologies.com/.

 

We have never declared bankruptcy or been in receivership. We have earned minimal revenues and have limited cash on hand. We have sustained losses since inception and have primarily relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from related parties for funding.

 

Our Current Business

 

Authentic Holdings, Inc. comprises two separate subsidiaries. The Authentic Heroes, Inc. subsidiary has patented technology that takes the original event worn apparel from an iconic individual and creates “Fan-wear” collectibles containing fibers from that original.

The Authentic Heroes subsidiary is also in the business of creating vinyl records for distribution into retail department stores and online sales and has pressed 100,000 vinyls to date under the heading of “Old is Gold” Christmas.

 

The Authentic Heroes subsidiary also has completed an NFT Platform on the Etherium Blockchain capable of housing millions of NFTs. The NFT platform has minted 500,000 NFTs as part of free music NFT given away with its “Old is Gold” Christmas album.

 

Competition

 

Authentic Heroes competes in the fan wear and memorabilia markets. we will compete with many firms, including corporations with large divisions, many of these companies have great financial, technical or marketing resources, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition or larger customer bases than we do and may be able to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions than we can. The nature and degree of competition varies with the customer and the market. Industry statistics are not available.

 

ECOTEK 360 is in the uniform and related products segment, we will compete with many firms, including corporations with large divisions, many of these companies have great financial, technical or marketing resources, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition or larger customer bases than we do and may be able to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions than we can.

Competitive pricing may require us to reduce our future prices, which would impact future profitability or result in lost sales. Our competitors, many of whom have greater resources than we do, may be better able to withstand these price reductions and lost sales.

The net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, was mainly attributed to a net loss of $1,401,237, a decrease by the gain in the valuation of derivative liabilities of $186,508, a gain from the extinguishment of convertible notes $251,871 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $89,755.

 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the company used $4,022 in investing activities. No cash was used in investing activities for the year ending December 31, 2021.

 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,004,875 compared to $165,761 during the year ended December 31, 2021. Net cash from financing activities attributed to proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes was $887,921 and proceeds from the issuance of common stocks were $97,965. And advances from related party $18,989. For the year ended December 31, 2021, financing activities were from advances from related parties of $165,761.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $36,380,313 and $35,222,530 as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, which include net losses of $1,157,782 and $1,401,237 for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,603,481 and $3,853,272, respectively, with limited cash resources. Consequently, the items mentioned above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to raise additional debt or equity and continue to settle obligations by issuing stock. Management intends to continue to grow other debt and equity until the Company has positive cash flows from an operating company.

Table of Contents

  

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to repay or settle its current indebtedness, generate positive cash flow from an operating company, and raise capital through equity and debt financing or other means on desirable terms. If the Company cannot obtain additional funds when required or if the funds cannot be received on favorable terms, management may be necessary to restructure the Company or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies 

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make specific estimates and assumptions and apply judgments. We base our estimates and decisions on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes are important when preparing financial statements. The actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences could be material. Due to the need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters, materially different amounts could be reported under other conditions or using different assumptions. We regularly review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in preparing our financial statements. Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as this Annual Report includes disclosures regarding the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include common stock valuation and options issued as stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from its customer contracts following ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenues when satisfying the performance obligation of the associated contract that reflects the consideration expected to be received based on the terms of the contract.

 

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps:

 

 

1.

Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer.

 

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

3.

Determine the transaction price.

 

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

 

5.

Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Leases

 

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), and additional ASUs issued to clarify and update the guidance in ASU 2016-02 (collectively, the “new leases standard”), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing critical information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new lease standard utilizing the modified retrospective transition method, under which amounts in prior periods presented were not restated. 

 

There were no long-term operating lease contracts for the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 that require access to (i) whether any are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs. 

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based awards at fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation over the service period they are expected to vest. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, we estimate the fair value of stock options and stock purchase warrants. The estimated value of the portion of a stock-based award that is ultimately expected to vest, considering estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of other comparative securities, equal to the weighted average life of the options. The estimate of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment. To the extent that actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures, such differences are accounted for as a cumulative adjustment to compensation expenses and recorded in the period that estimates are revised. For the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred $ 00 and $10,000 for stock-based compensation, respectively.

Fair Value

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs;

Level 2Significant other observable inputs that observable market data can corroborate; and

Level 3Significant unobservable inputs that observable market data cannot corroborate.

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” It determined that the convertible notes should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance, resulting in no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The Company accounts for convertible notes and warrants as derivative liabilities due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of all conversion options.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: Shareholders and

Board of Directors

Authentic Holdings, Inc (formerly Global Fiber Technologies, Inc.)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompany consolidated financial statements of Authentic Holdings, Inc. (formerly Global Fiber Technologies, Inc.) which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Authentic Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s accumulated deficit, net loss and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

 

A critical audit matter is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee or the Company’s governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating a critical audit, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. We have determined there are critical matters related to the Company’s Embedded Derivative Liabilities related to Convertible Debentures.

 

Accounting for Embedded Derivative Liabilities related to Convertible Debentures

 

As described in Notes 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had convertible debentures that required accounting considerations and significant estimates. 

 

The Company determined that variable conversion features issued in connection with certain convertible debentures required derivative liability classification. These variable conversion features were initially measured at fair value and subsequently have been remeasured to fair value at each reporting period. The Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

 

We identified the accounting considerations and related valuations, including the related fair value determinations of the embedded derivative liabilities of such as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination were: (1) the accounting consideration in determining the nature of the various features (2) the evaluation of the potential derivatives and potential bifurcation in the instruments, and (3) considerations related to the determination of the fair value of the various debt and equity instruments and the conversion features that include valuation models and assumptions utilized by management. An audit of these elements is especially challenging and requires auditor judgement due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized skill or knowledge needed.

 

Our audit procedures related to management’s conclusion on the evaluation and related valuation of embedded derivatives, included the following, among others: (1) evaluating the relevant terms and conditions of the various financings, (2) assessing the appropriateness of conclusions reached by the Company with respect to the accounting for the convertible debt, and the assessment and accounting for potential derivatives and (3) independently recomputing the valuations determined by Management.

AUTHENTIC HOLDINGS INC. 

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2022

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Authentic Holdings Inc., Formerly Global Fiber Technologies, Inc. ("the Company"), was incorporated in Nevada on March 25, 2005. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had 2,500,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, par value $0.001 and 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

On June 18, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of assets from A.H. Originals, Inc. ("AHO"), a corporation controlled by the same owner group of Authentic Holdings Inc. formerly Global Fiber Technologies, Inc., for the consideration of 6,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be issued and the issuance of a promissory note of $447,150 that bears 3% interest per annum and have a one-year term with eight options to extend the maturity date for three-month periods. In addition, the Company issued to AHO 200,000 common shares of Authentic Heroes, Inc. ("AHI"), a subsidiary created by the Company, to hold the purchased assets.

 

Going Concerned

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared following U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $36,380,313 as of December 31, 2022, which includes a net loss of $ 1,157,783 and a net working capital deficit of $4,603,481, with limited cash resources. Consequently, the items mentioned above raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to raise additional debt or equity and continue to settle obligations by issuing stock. Management intends to continue to grow other debt and equity until the Company has positive cash flows from an operating company.

 

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to repay or settle its current indebtedness, generate positive cash flow from an operating company, and raise capital through equity and debt financing or other means on desirable terms. If the Company cannot obtain additional funds when required or if the funds cannot be received on favorable terms, management may be necessary to restructure the Company or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and has adopted a December 31 fiscal year-end. 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trident Merchant Group, Inc. and Progressive Fashions Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Leading Edge Fashion, LLC, Pure361, LLC and ECO CHAIN 360, Inc., which are 51% owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As noted in Note 1, our 51% owned subsidiaries, Pure361, Leading Edge Fashions, LLC, and ECO CHAIN 360, Inc., had no operations, assets, or liabilities as of December 31, 2022, and 2021. Because of this, a non-controlling interest is not reflected in these financial statements. In addition, the Company has consolidated Authentic Heroes, Inc., Inc., of which the Company owns 80%.

 

The Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to effectuate a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Authentic Holdings, Inc. Shareholder approval was not required under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. As part of the merger, the Company’s board of directors authorized a change in our name to “Authentic Holdings, Inc.” and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change.

 

Reclassifications

 

Specific amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the reported consolidated net loss.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments in money market funds. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.

 

On December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no acquired inventories.

 

Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Costs of replacements and major improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation expense is provided primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Depreciation expenses amounted to $48,233 and $50,677 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

 

The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment under ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, no impairment losses have been identified.

Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for intangible assets (including trademarks and website) under ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including identifying reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include assessing future cash flows and determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to differ from such estimates materially and affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.

 

The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology, and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed, and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.

 

We amortize the cost of our intangible assets over the 15-year estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

 

The following table sets forth the amortization for the intangible assets on December 31, 2022, and 2021:

Amortization expense amounted to $42,993 and $67,996 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

 

Prepaid interest and deposits

 

Interest and deposits include prepaid consulting fees, OTC market annual fees, and license agreements. Prepaid interest is amortized over the life of the related liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from its customer contracts following ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenues when satisfying the performance obligation of the associated contract that reflects the consideration expected to be received based on the terms of the contract.

 

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps:

 

 

1.

Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer.

 

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

3.

Determine the transaction price.

 

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

 

5.

Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded following ASC 310, ”Receivables.” Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company has no amount recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. Based on management’s estimate and all charges being current, the Company has not deemed it necessary to reserve for doubtful accounts at this time.

 

Leases

 

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), and additional ASUs issued to clarify and update the guidance in ASU 2016-02 (collectively, the “new leases standard”), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing essential information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new lease standard utilizing the modified retrospective transition method, under which amounts in prior periods presented were not restated for contracts existing at the time of adoption. The Company currently does not have any operating lease over one year term to require accessing (i) whether any are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification and (iii) initial direct costs.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method stipulated by ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, their respective tax bases and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized using a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax asset will be unable to be utilized.

 

The Company adopted specific provisions under ASC Topic 740, which provide interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Effective with the Company’s adoption of these provisions, interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income taxes.

 

The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2017 through 2021. In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based awards at fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation over the service period they are expected to vest. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, we estimate the fair value of stock options and stock purchase warrants. The estimated value of the portion of a stock-based award that is ultimately expected to vest, considering estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of other comparative securities, equal to the weighted average life of the options. The estimate of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment. To the extent that actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures, such differences are accounted for as a cumulative adjustment to compensation expenses and recorded in the period that estimates are revised. For the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred $0 and $ 10,000 for stock-based compensation, respectively.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records any “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) intrinsic value as additional paid-in capital and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt. If the underlying debt is converted, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Debt Issue Costs

 

The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not, or with other considerations. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the obligation to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

Suppose a debt is issued with an original issue discount. In that case, the original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note. It is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount. If the underlying debt is converted, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Use of Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based awards issued and derivatives embedded in financial instruments. Assessments are used to determine depreciation, the valuation of non-cash issuances of common stock, stock options, and warrants, and valuing convertible notes for beneficial conversion features, among others.

 

Fair Value

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs.

Level 2Significant other observable inputs that observable market data can corroborate; and

Level 3Significant unobservable inputs that observable market data cannot corroborate.

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level on December 31, 2022, and 2021, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The concentration of Credit Risk

 

The carrying value of short-term financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term debt, approximates the fair value of these instruments. These financial instruments generally expose the Company to limited credit risk and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities and carry interest rates that approximate the market. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions insured by the FDIC. On December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no amounts above the FDIC limit.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this standard and determined no material impact on its financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has designated a "Class B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Class B Preferred"). The number of authorized shares totals 1,000,000, and the par value is $.001 per share. The Class B Preferred shareholders vote together with the common stock as a single class. The holders of Class B Preferred are entitled to receive all notices relating to voting as are required to be given to the holders of the Common Stock. The holders of Class B Preferred shares shall be entitled to 10,000 votes per share. The Class B Preferred Stock will have the rights to liquidation as all classes of the Company's Common Stock. The Class B Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends at 8% per annum, accrued daily. The Corporation shall redeem the Class B Preferred Stock for 100% of the original purchase price plus the amount of cash dividends accrued on the earlier of 6 months from the date of issuance, or the date that the Corporation received its funding from any outside source in conjunction with a merger, reverse merger or any change of control. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock, the amount of $.035 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the convertible notes should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The Company accounts for convertible notes and warrants as a derivative liability due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of all conversion options.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 The Company is a party to three pending litigation matters. The Company does not believe it has any liability, nor has it accrued any liability as of December 31, 2022, and 2021 for the following:

 

One matter is entitled Randazzo LLC v. Avani Holdings LLC & Global Fashion Technologies, Inc. The plaintiff initiated this litigation to evict Avani Holdings LLC from its rented premises in California and to recover unpaid rent. The Company does not operate outside the premises and has never signed any leases or other documents with the plaintiff. A judgment of eviction was entered, but the Company does not operate out of the premises in question and therefore did not appear in the matter to oppose the judgment of eviction. The plaintiff is also seeking unpaid rent in the amount of $.26,595

 

The second matter is entitled Patricia Witthuhn v. Global Fashion Technologies, Inc. The plaintiff initiated this litigation to collect wages allegedly due pursuant to her employment with Avani Holdings LLC. The Company never hired Ms. Witthuhn and never acquired Avani Holdings, LLC. Consequently, there is no legitimate cause of action against the Company. However, the Company cannot hire outside counsel for this litigation due to cash flow constraints. The amount being sought by the plaintiff is approximately $15,000.

 

The third matter is entitled William Corso v. Global Fashion Technologies, Inc. The plaintiff initiated this litigation to collect wages allegedly due pursuant to his employment with Avani Holdings LLC. The Company never hired Mr. Corso and never acquired Avani Holdings, LLC. Consequently, there is no legitimate cause of action against the Company. However, the Company cannot hire outside counsel for this litigation due to cash flow constraints. The amount being sought by the plaintiff is approximately $40,000.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (our chief executive officer), we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of 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 not effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

 

Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for our company.

 

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

 
34

Table of Contents

 

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our president and our chief executive officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2022, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

 

Inadequate Segregation Of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 

Lack Of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing an audit committee member in the future.

 

Management, including our president and our chief executive officer, have discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence

 

We currently act with three directors, Christopher H. Giordano, Paul Serbiak and Scott Todd.

 

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.

 

From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
