Basis of Presentation

 

Basis of Presentation - The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual consolidated financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, has been derived from the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements that were audited by our independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.

 

 

Segment Information

Segment Information - In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which introduced new guidance for improving disclosures about a public entity’s reporting segments to provide, when applicable, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. This standard was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2024. The senior management team consisting of the CEO, CFO and COO collectively are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM, for the Company, has determined, consistent with the guidance in ASC 280 paragraph 280-10-50-1, that CQENS Technologies and its subsidiary, CQENS Electronics (Hong Kong) Limited (“CEL”), are a single operating and reporting segment. The CODM has chosen to organize the Company around differences in products and services. CQENS and CEL are focused on research and development of our HnB technology and on production and commercialization of this same technology. As a result, there is no additional disclosures required and no impact to our financial statements at adoption.

 

CQENS and its subsidiary CEL are organized currently with a singular focus on research and development of our HnB technology and on production and commercialization of this same technology. During the first half of 2025 no additional disclosures are required and there is no impact to our financial statements for this reporting period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03 which issues new guidance requiring disclosure of the disaggregation of income statement expenses (DISE) by public business entities (PBE’s) and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2027.

 

Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
