SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Going Concern — The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates Newtown continuing as a going concern. Our purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a “shell” company inasmuch as we are not generating revenues, we do not own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in the merger transaction with Appgate. There is no assurances that we will be able to consummate such transaction. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Since inception, Newtown has incurred an accumulated deficit of $2,737,022 through September 30, 2021. For the six months ended September 30, 2021, Newtown had net losses of $84,173, respectively. Newtown has incurred negative cash flow from operating activities since its inception. Newtown has spent, and subject to obtaining additional financing, expects to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with executing its business strategy. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Newtown’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates include valuation of deferred taxes and valuation of contributed services.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Pursuant to the FASB guidance, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” we are required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on our balance sheet. We consider the carrying value of accounts payable, accrued expenses, due to unrelated parties and convertible notes in the financial statements to approximate their face value.

Statements of Cash Flows — For purposes of the statements of cash flows we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Loss Per Share — Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. For September 30, 2021 and 2020, 0 and 886,190 options outstanding were not included in the computation of loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

Recent accounting pronouncements — All recent accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been reviewed and determined to be not applicable or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Newtown’s accounting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.

(a)  Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates Newtown continuing as a going concern. Our purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a “shell” company inasmuch as we are not generating revenues, we do own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in a merger or acquisition transaction with Appgate. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of our securities. We intend to utilize the proceeds of any offering, any sales of equity securities or debt securities, bank and other borrowings or a combination of those sources to effect a business combination with a target business which we believe may have significant growth potential. There is no assurance that these plans will be realized in whole or in part. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Newtown has an accumulated deficit of $2,652,849 and a working capital deficit of $554,973 March 31, 2021. For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, Newtown had net losses of $155,680 and $62,411, respectively. Newtown has incurred negative cash flow from operating activities since its inception. Newtown has spent, and subject to obtaining additional funding, expects to continue to spend substantial amounts in connection with executing its business strategy. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Newtown’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(b)  Use of Estimates:

In preparing financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes certain estimates and assumptions, where applicable, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not expect such variances, if any, to have a material effect on the financial statements. The estimates include valuation of deferred taxes, valuation of equity-based transaction and valuation of contributed services.

(c)  Statement of Cash Flows:

For purposes of the statements of cash flows Newtown considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(d)  Loss per Common Share:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued accounting guidance “Earnings Per Share” that provides for the calculation of “Basic” and “Diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share include no dilution and is computed by dividing the loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations since they would be antidilutive. However, these dilutive securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had a total of 0 and 886,190 of potentially dilutive securities comprised solely of stock options and shares issuable on the conversion of the convertible note payable for $367,000 and $347,000, respectively.

(e)  Income Taxes:

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it I more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

(f)  Financial instruments:

The estimated fair values of all reported assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate their carrying values because of the short term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates.

(g)  Equity Based Compensation:

We adopted the FASB accounting guidance for share based payment transactions. This standard requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity share options granted based on the grant date fair value of the options and applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards.

In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s bet estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating our forfeiture rate, we analyzed our historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested option as a percentage of total options outstanding. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if we reevaluate the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.

The accounting guidance requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of each stock-based award. We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted based on the following assumptions:

Options to purchase an aggregate of 886,190 shares were exercised in the year ended March 31, 2021. No options were exercised in the year ended March 31, 2020.

(h)  New Accounting Pronouncements:

All new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been reviewed and determined to be not applicable. As a result, the adoption of such new accounting pronouncements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
