SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of VLS and VI, its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, (the “JOBS Act”). Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, include impairment of intangible assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax asset, and non-cash equity transactions and stock-based compensation.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company held no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023, and 2022. Cash balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. If the amount of a deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could be lost, in whole or in part, if the bank were to fail.

 

No cash exceeded the insured limit at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Costs for intangible assets are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining such assets. Capitalized costs are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s intangible assets consist of costs incurred in connection with securing an Exclusive Patent License Agreement with The General Hospital Corporation, d/b/a Massachusetts General Hospital (“MGH”), as amended (the “License Agreement”). These costs are being amortized over the term of the License Agreement which is based on the remaining life of the related patents being licensed.

 

As of December 31, 2022, due to the combination of not having met certain due diligence requirements per the License Agreement, and the Company not raising sufficient capital necessary to maintain regular research and development activities in 2022, the Company reviewed the MGH License Agreement for possible impairment. The Company concluded an impairment of the License Agreement existed due to there being no projected undiscounted future net cash flows derived from the asset (See Note 4).

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company recognizes impairment losses 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 values. Management has reviewed the Company’s long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2022 and concluded an impairment of the License Agreement held with MGH disclosed above existed as of December 31, 2022 (See Note 4).

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, deferred offering costs, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, payables with related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation –Stock Compensation,” which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, on their share-based payment awards.

 

Research and Development

 

Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded $15,267 and $13,097, respectively, in research and development expenses to a related party.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.

 

Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s dilutive securities are convertible into 2,780,682 and 3,397,281 shares of common stock, respectively. This amount is not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive. The following table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of December 31, 2023, and 2022:

 

           
   December 31, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Common stock to be issued       727,281 
Stock options   2,670,000    2,670,000 
Convertible debt   110,682    - 
Anti-dilutive securities   2,780,682    3,397,281 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.
