SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared for Nitches, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), with all numbers shown in US Dollars.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements have been included.

 

On June 10, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-60,000 reverse stock split. The impact of this transaction is reflected within all common stock, options, and warrant information retrospectively in these financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company expects to recognize revenues as the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied.

 

The Company generated revenues of $4,830 and $4,224 for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Our Cost of Revenues includes the cost of materials and related costs, such as shipping. With respect to sales made through the Company’s sales agent, we include in our costs of revenues any commissions paid to agents for the specific sales that they make. All other sales-related expenses are included in selling, general and administrative costs.

 

The Company incurred costs of goods sold of $16,544 and $21,354 for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payables, accrued liabilities and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”. The carrying amount of these financial instruments as reflected in the balance sheets approximates fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We adopted the guidance of ASC-820 for fair value instruments, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for determining fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. 

 

Level 2Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market 

 

Level 3Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. 

 

The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. We identified assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance as at August 31, 2024 and 2023, as detailed in Note 9, Derivative Liabilities.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We elected to apply the fair value option to outstanding instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as at August 31, 2024 or 2023 and held cash of $59,991 and $344 at August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions with accounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed FDIC coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are shown net of any allowance for doubtful accounts, determined as such when management has made a decision that an account is not collectible. As at August 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for doubtful or non-collectible accounts receivable was nil.

 

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of purchase cost (First in, First Out method) or net realizable value. As at August 31, 2024, all inventory had been written off and the value held was zero. As at August 31, 2023, the Company held inventory valued at $135,030

 

Fixed Assets and Depreciation

The Company may own fixed assets of certain types, which are carried at cost less depreciation. 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 financial statements, 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, according to the following policies:

 

-Land and buildings, useful life of 40 years, straight-line depreciation of 2.5% annually 

-Property and equipment, useful life of 3 years, straight-line depreciation of 33.3% annually 

-Lease improvements, useful life of 5 years or the length of the lease, whichever is shorter 

-Computer equipment, useful life of 3 years, straight-line depreciation of 33.3% annually 

-Motor vehicles, useful life of 3 years, straight line depreciation of 33.3% annually 

 

Intangible Assets

The Company has intangible assets which were acquired via acquisition, and which consist primarily of goodwill and brand name. The Company’s intangible assets represent long-lived assets. As at August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company held no intangible assets.

 

Amortization of Definite Life Intangible Assets

Definite life intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life. The Company periodically evaluates the carried values of its finite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant any revision. During the year ending August 31, 2024, the Company recognized impairment of intangible assets totaling $27,300, with no impairment recognized for the year ending August 31, 2023.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived intangible assets, such as goodwill, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Company had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the impairment for the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets.

 

No impairment charges were recognized for the year ending August 31, 2024 or 2023.

 

Leases

The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at contract inception. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset and the Company has the right to control the asset. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Leases with a term of twelve (12) months or less at the commencement date are not recognized on the balance sheet and are expensed as incurred.

As of August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had not entered into any long-term leases.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

As of August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no commitments or contingencies.

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards (ASC 740), Accounting for Income Tax. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Any deferred tax expense (benefit) resulting from the net change during the year is shown as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it was more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination.

 

Income taxes are provided in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards (ASC 740), Accounting for Income Tax. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Any deferred tax expense (benefit) resulting from the net change during the year is shown as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it was more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the financial statements are computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 – 10 “Earnings per Share”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, if their effect would be anti-dilutive. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

For the years ending August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share potential shares totaling 100,004,386 and 100,434,427 shares, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

Codification topic 718 “Stock Compensation” requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective for share-based payment transactions with employees and acquired goods or services from non-employees. The codification also provides guidance on valuing and expensing these awards, as well as disclosure requirements of these equity arrangements. The Company adopted the codification upon creation of the Company and will expense share-based costs in the period incurred.

 

The Company has adopted a stock option plan. The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards, including stock options and restricted stock units granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized ratably in earnings, generally over the period during which the recipient is required to provide service. The compensation expense is adjusted based on actual forfeitures as necessary.

 

The stock options vest ratably over the contractual vesting period and the fair value of our awards is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Restricted stock units vest ratably over the contractual vesting period and the fair value of the awards are estimated on the date of grant as the underlying value of the award. Awards with graded vesting features are recognized over the requisite service period for the entire award. The

determination of the grant date fair value of stock awards issued is affected by a number of variables and subjective assumptions, including (i) the fair value of the Company’s common stock, (ii) the expected common stock price volatility over the expected life of the award, (iii) the expected term of the award, (iv) risk-free interest rates, (v) the exercise price, and (vi) the expected dividend yield of our common stock.

 

Options or warrants issued to consultants, sub-contractors or suppliers are assessed for fair value on issuance and reviewed for fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded to the income statement for the relevant period.

 

For the years ending August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded no issuances of stock options and there were no stock options outstanding as of August 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instruments are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re- measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying shares of common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares of common stock based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying shares at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

 

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event not within the entity’s control could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

Convertible Equity Instruments

ASC-505-10 provides that a security that is convertible into another security based on a conversion rate is a convertible equity instrument. The Company has designated three classes of convertible preferred equity, being Series A, Series C and Series D. Each has a defined fixed conversion rate for the potential conversion into shares of common stock.

 

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative financial instruments consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company assessed that it had derivative liabilities as at August 31, 2024 and 2023, as detailed in Note 10, Derivative Liabilities.

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered

a derivative instrument subject to the requirement of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

Segment Reporting

The Company has evaluated the criteria for segment reporting under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and has determined that it operates as a single operating and reportable segment. This conclusion is based on the following factors:

 

-the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. 

-the Company’s operations exhibit similar economic characteristics and are managed and reported as a single business unit. 

-the Company’s products and services are offered in a consistent manner across its markets, with no discrete business lines requiring separate reporting. 

 

As a result, no additional segment disclosures are required.

 

Impact of New Accounting Standards

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow. Recent pronouncements which will be adopted as appropriate are as follows:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 (“Topic 280”). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended August 31, 2024. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 entitled Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is primarily applicable to public companies and requires a significant expansion of the granularity of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as an expansion of other income tax disclosures. The majority of the disclosures will only be made on an annual basis, although there is a modest expansion of required quarterly income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require disclosure of specific income tax categories in the statutory to effective rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. There are also additional disclosures related to taxes paid to local jurisdictions, and to income taxes paid. This information is currently available to the Company but was not a required disclosure. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-09 on September 1, 2025.

 

In March 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-01 entitled Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards (ASU 2024-01) to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation. While profits interest is not defined in GAAP, those interests are differentiated from capital interests held by investors that provide those holders with rights to the existing net assets in a partnership or similar entity. The Company does not expect ASU 2024-01 to have any effect since the Company does not presently issue profits interest awards.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 entitled–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense (ASU 2024-03). The FASB issued ASU 24-03 to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expense and to address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion) included in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development. This is a disclosure-only standard and the Company expects to adopt ASU 2024-03 on September 1, 2026. There is currently a Proposed Accounting Standards Update that would, if adopted, accelerate the effective date of this standard by one year. If that Proposed standard is adopted, we would expect to adopt ASU 2024-03 on September 1, 2025.

 

Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of this report, through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon the review, other than as described in Note 15, Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
