HESTIA INSIGHT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2024

 

Note 1 – Organization and basis of accounting

 

Nature of Organization

 

Hestia Insight Inc. (“Hestia” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 19, 2003, and was formerly known as Luxshmi Investments, Inc. until it changed its name on March 27, 2019. The Company is focused primarily on the healthcare and biotech sectors through the Company’s two wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hestia Investments Inc. (“Hestia Investments”), and HSTA HEALTH INC., d/b/a Hestia Vending (“Hestia Vending”). Hestia Investments provides strategic consulting, medical supply sales and marketing support, management, and capital markets advisory services for select micro, small and medium sized companies within the healthcare and biotech sectors. Hestia Vending operates within the healthy food, beverage and wellness products industry and the smart vending machine industry. The Company is positioned to make strategic acquisitions of emerging growth companies with unique sciences and technologies. The Company intends to pursue the acquisition and development of healthcare related technologies in the healthcare and biotech sectors through acquisition, licensing, or joint ventures. The Company will also consider a third avenue of investing in certain technologies. The Company entered the healthcare sector to explore emerging healthcare technologies, especially growth companies that own and develop unique sciences and technologies.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair and not misleading presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2023, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 14, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). The accompanying November 30, 2023, balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of June 30, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies" in the Company's Annual Report.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hestia Insight Inc. (“Hestia” or the “Company”) consolidated with the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries Hestia Investments, Inc., a Wyoming corporation and HSTA Health, Inc., d/b/a Hestia Vending, a Nevada corporation. In these notes, the terms “us,” “we” or “our” refer to Hestia Insight Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary.

 

Reclassification of prior year presentation

 

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.

 

Presented as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in the development and commercialization of the investments and services it develops or enters into collaboration agreements thereon. Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve profitable operations in order to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the reclassification or the amounts that can be recovered from receivables or other assets, or the reclassification or the amounts of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting within the balance sheets and the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, cash on deposit in attorney trust accounts, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

The Company records amounts which have been paid in advance of receiving future economic benefits anticipated by the payment as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are recorded as assets and expensed over the period that the benefits are received from the payment. The Company recorded as prepaid expenses of $0 and $0 for the three months ended August 31, 2024, and the year ended November 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Investments in Equities

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

 

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

 

  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

  Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

For those investments in equities, including equity securities and partnership interests, that have a “readily determinable fair value,” as defined in ASC Topic 321, 321 Investments—Equity Securities (“ASC 321”) and discussed below, or are traded in a verifiable public market and are not restricted for sale in the public market by a restricted stock legend, or can otherwise be reasonably valued using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 discussed above. For these equity securities and we include the realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair values during the period as a component of ‘changes in fair value of equity securities’ in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

6

 

 

For those investments in equities, including equity securities and partnership interests, that do not have a “readily determinable fair value,” as defined in ASC 321, we present and carry our investments using the measurement alternative which is cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in “orderly transactions,” as defined in ASC 321, for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, also referred to as U.S. GAAP. 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 as of the dates of the balance sheets and the income and expenses for the periods ended as stated in the statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes consulting income in accordance with ASC 606. This standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised services or goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Our consulting revenues currently consist of consulting contracts for professional services that are performed over a stated period of time. We recognize income for each contract on a pro-rata basis over the stated period of time as we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of 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. The Accounting Standards Codification 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.

 

For share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We record compensation expenses based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. The Company expects that recent tax law changes contained in the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act will not have a material impact on its provision for income taxes. In addition, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is believed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be fully realized. Authoritative guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company continually reviews tax laws, regulations and related guidance in order to properly record any uncertain tax liabilities.

 

7

 

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company’s loss per share calculation is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, and other equity instruments are included for purposes of calculating diluted income per share, except for periods when the Company reports a net loss, in which case the inclusion of such equity instruments would be antidilutive. As of August 31, 2024 and 2023, 1,580,000 and 80,000 options were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that management of the Company believes may impact its financial statements. Management does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 3 – Investment in Equities.

 

The following equity investments that have a readily determinable fair value (Level 1) are measured using ASC Topic 820, discussed above. The following equities without a readily determinable fair value use the measurement alternative of ASC Topic 321 and are measured at their cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in “orderly transactions,” as defined, for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As of August 31, 2024, and November 30, 2023, the Company did not hold any securities without readily determinable fair values.

 

The following tables presents equity securities still held by the Company as of August 31, 2024, and includes the change in fair value for the period ended August 31, 2024 and the cumulative change in fair value as of the reporting date.

On November 21, 2019, Hestia Investments Inc. returned to the Company for cancellation its 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and, accordingly, the Company cancelled the remaining outstanding 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

 

Note 8 – Options to Acquire Common Stock

 

On June 25, 2024, the Company issued Edward Lee, Chairman, a stock option to acquire an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, exercisable for five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to vesting. The option vests in equal amounts over a period of one (1) year at the rate of 250,000 shares per fiscal quarter at the end of such quarter, commencing in June 2024, and pro-rated for the number of days the optionee serves on the Board during the fiscal quarter.

 

On June 25, 2024, the Company issued Eugene Cha, Director, a stock option to acquire an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, exercisable for five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to vesting. The option vests in equal amounts over a period of one (1) year at the rate of 125,000 shares per fiscal quarter at the end of such quarter, commencing in June 2024, and pro-rated for the number of days the optionee serves on the Board during the fiscal quarter.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options it granted to utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The volatility component of the calculation is based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The stock price is considered based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date.

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. During the nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $60,000 and $-0- in stock based compensation related to the vesting of issued stock options. The fair values of option awards granted during the nine months ended August 31, 2024, were estimated using a Black-Sholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:

 

           
   Low   High 
Rate   4.01%   4.01%
Volatility   195.43%   195.43%
Stock price  $0.16   $0.16 
Exercise price  $0.20   $0.20 
Term (years)   3.00    3.00 

 

9

 

 

Determining the assumptions for the expected term and volatility requires management to exercise significant judgment. The expected term represents the weighted-average period that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules. Since the Company does not have an extended history of actual exercises, the Company has estimated the expected term using a simplified method which calculates the expected term as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the awards. Given the limited public market for the Company’s stock, the Company has elected to estimate its expected volatility by benchmarking its volatility to that of several public company issuers that operate within its market segment. The guideline companies’ volatility was increased by a size adjustment premium to compensate for the difference in size between the guideline companies and the Company in its calculation.

 

The status of the options issued under the foregoing option plans as August 31, 2023, and changes during the years then ended were as follows:

 

                     
   Shares   Weighted average
exercise price

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that occur after the period’s end date through the date the financial statements are available to be issued. Accordingly, management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements are issued and has determined that no subsequent events require disclosure in these financial statements.

Overview

 

Hestia Insight Inc. (“Hestia”, “Hestia Insight”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 19, 2003, under the name Luxshmi Investments, Inc. (“Luxshmi Investments”), until the Company changed its name to Hestia Insight Inc. on March 27, 2019. On March 12, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation authorizing 300,000,000 shares of capital stock, comprised of 290,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). On March 27, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (i) effecting a name change from Luxshmi Investments, Inc. to Hestia Insight Inc., and (ii) effecting a 50-to-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split did not impact the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or its par value. On May 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Hestia Investments Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Hestia Investments”), to exchange, on a 1-for-1 basis, 27,614,200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for 27,614,200 shares of Hestia Investments which were owned by 100% of the then-shareholders of Hestia Investments (the “Share Exchange Transaction”). As a result of the Share Exchange Transaction, Hestia Investments became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company is focused primarily on the healthcare and biotech sectors through the Company’s two wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hestia Investments Inc.

Immudyne Nutritional. On June 21, 2020, the Company entered into a sales agency agreement with Immudyne Nutritional LLC (“Immudyne”), pursuant to which the Company acts as sales agent for certain of Immudyne’s medical products. Immudyne is located in Jacksonville, Florida.

 

We are in negotiation in our areas of focus with respect to potential acquisitions and strategic partnerships. There is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully sign a definitive agreement, close or implement such business arrangement.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company owns no patents. We have not applied for or received patent protection in the US or any other country, and, as a result, there is a distinct risk that we will not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights in these countries. We own and control a variety of trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights that, in the aggregate, are of material importance to our business. We consider our trademarks, service marks, and other intellectual property to be proprietary, and rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret, non-disclosure, and contractual safeguards to protect our intellectual property rights.

 

Competition

 

In our current consulting business, we compete with a number of advisory firms offering similar service including consulting and strategy firms; market research, data, benchmarking, and forecasting providers; technology vendors and services firms; health care information technology firms; technology advisory firms; outsourcing firms; and specialized providers of advisory services. Other organizations, such as state and national trade associations, group purchasing organizations, non-profit think-tanks, and database companies, also may offer research, consulting, tools, and advisory services to health care organizations.

 

We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include quality and timeliness of our services, strength and depth of relationships with our clients, ability to meet the changing needs of current and prospective clients, measurable returns on customer investment, and service and affordability.

 

As our business develops and we expand through joint ventures, acquisitions and strategic partnerships in the U.S., we will have competition with other direct service providers, emerging technologies and medical communication platforms. The Company will seek to maintain a competitive advantage through intellectual property, superior quality management and cutting-edge technology.

 

Government Regulation

 

The health care industry in the U.S. is highly regulated and subject to changing political, legislative, regulatory, and other influences. Further, the healthcare industry is currently undergoing rapid change. We are uncertain how, when or in what context these new changes will be adopted or implemented. These new regulations could create unexpected liabilities for us, could cause us or our members to incur additional costs and could restrict our or our clients’ operations. Many of the laws are complex and their application to us, our clients, or the specific services and relationships we have are not always clear. Our failure to anticipate accurately the application of these laws and regulations, or our other failure to comply, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity, and otherwise negatively affect our business.

 

Employees

 

The Company has three employees. We otherwise rely on the services of independent contractors.

 

Our Offices

 

Our principal executive office is located at 400 S. 4th Street, Suite 500, Las Vegas, NV 89101.

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are subject to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our normal business operations. We are not currently a party to, and our property is not subject to, any material legal proceedings.

 

Reports to Security Holders

 

We intend to furnish our shareholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and to make available quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each year. We file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K with the SEC in order to meet our timely and continuous disclosure requirements. We may also file additional documents with the SEC if they become necessary in the course of our company’s operations.

 

Going Concern

 

We have a limited operating history, and our continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of providing medical consulting services to our clients, generating revenue, and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations, and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations. We had accumulated deficit of $43,425 at August 31, 2024. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2023, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon cash used in operating activities and the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for the next twelve months from the release date of this report. These factors, among others, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate significant revenues or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company. The financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to carry out our business plan, achieve profitable operations, obtain additional working capital funds from our significant shareholders, and or through debt and equity financing. However, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes and the valuation of equity transactions.

 

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

14

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or products have been sold, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

We provide medical related consulting services to our clients. We are paid fees for our services by our clients under written consulting agreements. Each contract calls for a fixed payment for a fixed period of time. We recognize revenue by providing medical related consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. Revenue related to our service offerings is recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned, using the straight-line method over the term of the related services agreement. Prepayments, if any, received from customers prior to the services being performed are recorded as advance from customers. In these cases, when the services are performed, the amount recorded as advance from customers is recognized as revenue.

 

Income Taxes

 

We are governed by the income tax laws of the United States. Income taxes are accounted for pursuant to ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is changed to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority, and we intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of 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. The Accounting Standards Codification 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.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We record compensation expenses based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We are currently evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023

 

Revenue

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, total revenues amounted to $1,312,930, all of which consisted of consulting revenue. For the nine months ended August 31, 2023, revenue was $75,500, all of which consisted of consulting revenue. The limited amount of revenue was due to our current emphasis on planning and preparation for our future revenue.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue includes the cost of internal labor and related benefits, travel expenses related to consulting services, subcontractor costs, other related consulting costs, and other overhead costs. These costs are recorded as operating expenses. For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023, there were no costs of revenue.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, operating expenses were $246,557 representing a decrease of $73,245 over the operating expenses of $319,802 for the nine months ended August 31, 2023. This decrease in operating expenses was mainly driven by a decrease in professional fees related to becoming and being a public company plus our current emphasis on reducing costs.

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023, operating expenses consisted of the following:

 

   For the
Nine months ended
August 31,
2024
   For the
Nine months ended
August 31,
2023
 
Selling expenses  $62,911   $13,705 
Professional fees   123,629    190,036 
Other general and administrative expenses   60,017    116,061 
   $246,557   $319,802 

 

16

 

 

  Our selling expenses mainly include our marketing and sales staff’s salaries and related benefits, plus travel and entertainment costs incurred by our sales department. Selling expenses totaled $62,911 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and $13,705 for the nine months ended August 31, 2023. Selling expense as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, is 17% and for the nine months ended May 31, 2023, the percentage is 18%.

 

    Professional fees primarily consisted of accounting fees, legal service fees, consulting fees, investor relations service charges, OTC markets application and listing fees and other fees incurred for services related to becoming and being a public company.
     
    For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023, professional fees amounted to $123,629 and $190,036, respectively, a decrease of $66,407 or 34.94%. The decrease was largely attributable to a decrease of $60,000 in audit fees; a decrease of $18,614 in expenses to our contractors in China and a decrease of $40,750 for other contractors’ fees; and a decrease in OTC fees $4,405, a decrease in professional fees to John Kepley $24,000, and other fees among others. The decreases were offset by an increase of $22,505.00 in legal fees among others. We expect professional fees to be significant as we incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, and costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

  Other general and administrative expenses mainly consisted of wages and payroll taxes of our employees, compensation to our officers and board members, automobile expenses, office supplies, rent, bank service charges, depreciation, and other miscellaneous items. Other general and administrative expenses totaled $60,017 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024 as compared to $116,061 for the nine months ended August 31, 2023, resulting in a decrease of $56,044. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of 14,114 in office supplies and software; a decrease in travel $7,503; a decrease in depreciation $9,609; a decrease of $1,572 in auto lease and related expenses; a decrease of $699 in rent, and others.

 

Income (Loss) from Operations

 

As a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, income from operations amounted to $1,108,797, as compared to loss from operations of $(425,363) for the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income includes dividends from stock dividends that amounted to $2,625 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and $2,550 for the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

The Company had realized losses on equity investments of $496 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and realized gains of $60,233 for the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The Company had unrealized gains on equity investments of $9,402 for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and unrealized losses on equity investments of $(163,770) for the nine months ended August 31, 2023. For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023, the Company had total losses from sales of capital assets of $0 and $(74,889.00), respectively.

 

The Company had $3,743 interest expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and $0 interest expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

17

 

 

Income Taxes

 

We did not have any income tax expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023, since we did not have any taxable income in the periods which was not reduced by prior net operating loss carry forwards or reduced by the exclusion of any unrealized gains/(losses) on equity investments, which are excluded from our taxable income until they become realized gains/(losses) on equity investments.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

The net gain for the nine months ended August 31, 2024, was $1,108,797 and the net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2023, was $(425,363).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. On August 31, 2024, and November 30. 2023, we had cash balances of $56,633 and $93,890, respectively. These funds are kept in financial institutions located in United States. We had total liabilities of $108,506 on August 31, 2024, of which $29,575 for accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $78,931 for a related party note payable. We had total liabilities of $16,214 on November 30, 2023, of which $16,214 is for accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As of August 31, 2024 and November 30. 2023, the Company had accumulated deficits of $43,425 and $756,529, respectively.

 

We currently have no agreements and arrangements with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

 

Cash flows from Operating Activities

 

Cash from operating activities was $(118,813) during the nine months ended August 31, 2024, as compared with using $(206,483) for the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The increase in cash from operating activities during the nine months ended August 31, 2024, is primarily due to the increase consulting income paid for in BHPA Inc. restricted stocks and the decrease in operating expenses described above.

 

Cash flows from Investing Activities

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the cash flows in investing activities $2,625.

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the cash flows in investing activities provided $119,148 in net proceeds comprised of $103,658 in proceeds provided by the sale of investment equities; $(30,125) in proceeds used in the purchase of investment equities; $46,000 in proceeds provided by the sale of capital assets; and $(385) in proceeds used in the purchase of vending machines.

 

Cash flows from Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended August 31, 2024, the Company received $78,931 in proceeds provided by a related party loan. For the nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company used $-0- in cash flows in financing activities.

 

18

 

 

Our capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to cash to pay salaries, consulting fees and fees related to third parties’ professional services. All funds received have been primarily expended in the furtherance of growing the business. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

  An increase in working capital requirements to finance our current business;

 

  Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows; and

 

  The cost of being a public company.

 

We will need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations. Other than working capital, advances received from related parties and funds received pursuant to securities purchase agreements, we presently have no other significant alternative sources of working capital. We have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations and grow our company. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operations and to provide working capital for our ongoing operations and obligations. Therefore, our future operation is dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will be required to cease our operations. To date, we have not considered this alternative, nor do we view it as a likely occurrence.

 

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We presently do not have any contractual obligations.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any 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 is material to investors.

 

Since inception, our principal sources of operating funds have been proceeds from equity financing including the sale of our Common Stock to initial investors known to management and principal shareholders of the Company. We do not expect that our current cash on hand will fund our existing operations. We will need to raise additional capital in order to execute our business plan and growth goals for at least the next twelve-month period thereafter. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to execute a slower than planned growth path, reduce overhead and scale back its business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operational expansion and growth. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Inflation

 

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of August 31, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to material weakness) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to it, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023.

Nature of Organization

 

Hestia Insight Inc. (“Hestia” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 19, 2003, and was formerly known as Luxshmi Investments, Inc. until it changed its name on March 27, 2019. The Company is focused primarily on the healthcare and biotech sectors through the Company’s two wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Hestia Investments Inc. (“Hestia Investments”), and HSTA HEALTH INC., d/b/a Hestia Vending (“Hestia Vending”). Hestia Investments provides strategic consulting, medical supply sales and marketing support, management, and capital markets advisory services for select micro, small and medium sized companies within the healthcare and biotech sectors. Hestia Vending operates within the healthy food, beverage and wellness products industry and the smart vending machine industry. The Company is positioned to make strategic acquisitions of emerging growth companies with unique sciences and technologies. The Company intends to pursue the acquisition and development of healthcare related technologies in the healthcare and biotech sectors through acquisition, licensing, or joint ventures. The Company will also consider a third avenue of investing in certain technologies. The Company entered the healthcare sector to explore emerging healthcare technologies, especially growth companies that own and develop unique sciences and technologies.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair and not misleading presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2023, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 14, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). The accompanying November 30, 2023, balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of June 30, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies" in the Company's Annual Report.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hestia Insight Inc. (“Hestia” or the “Company”) consolidated with the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries Hestia Investments, Inc., a Wyoming corporation and HSTA Health, Inc., d/b/a Hestia Vending, a Nevada corporation. In these notes, the terms “us,” “we” or “our” refer to Hestia Insight Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary.

 

Reclassification of prior year presentation

 

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.

 

Presented as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in the development and commercialization of the investments and services it develops or enters into collaboration agreements thereon. Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve profitable operations in order to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the reclassification or the amounts that can be recovered from receivables or other assets, or the reclassification or the amounts of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting within the balance sheets and the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, cash on deposit in attorney trust accounts, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

The Company records amounts which have been paid in advance of receiving future economic benefits anticipated by the payment as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are recorded as assets and expensed over the period that the benefits are received from the payment. The Company recorded as prepaid expenses of $0 and $0 for the three months ended August 31, 2024, and the year ended November 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Investments in Equities

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

 

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

 

  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

  Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

For those investments in equities, including equity securities and partnership interests, that have a “readily determinable fair value,” as defined in ASC Topic 321, 321 Investments—Equity Securities (“ASC 321”) and discussed below, or are traded in a verifiable public market and are not restricted for sale in the public market by a restricted stock legend, or can otherwise be reasonably valued using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 discussed above. For these equity securities and we include the realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair values during the period as a component of ‘changes in fair value of equity securities’ in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For those investments in equities, including equity securities and partnership interests, that do not have a “readily determinable fair value,” as defined in ASC 321, we present and carry our investments using the measurement alternative which is cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in “orderly transactions,” as defined in ASC 321, for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, also referred to as U.S. GAAP. 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 as of the dates of the balance sheets and the income and expenses for the periods ended as stated in the statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes consulting income in accordance with ASC 606. This standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised services or goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Our consulting revenues currently consist of consulting contracts for professional services that are performed over a stated period of time. We recognize income for each contract on a pro-rata basis over the stated period of time as we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of 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. The Accounting Standards Codification 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.

 

For share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We record compensation expenses based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. The Company expects that recent tax law changes contained in the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act will not have a material impact on its provision for income taxes. In addition, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is believed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be fully realized. Authoritative guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company continually reviews tax laws, regulations and related guidance in order to properly record any uncertain tax liabilities.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company’s loss per share calculation is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, and other equity instruments are included for purposes of calculating diluted income per share, except for periods when the Company reports a net loss, in which case the inclusion of such equity instruments would be antidilutive. As of August 31, 2024 and 2023, 1,580,000 and 80,000 options were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that management of the Company believes may impact its financial statements. Management does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 – Investment in Equities.

 

The following equity investments that have a readily determinable fair value (Level 1) are measured using ASC Topic 820, discussed above. The following equities without a readily determinable fair value use the measurement alternative of ASC Topic 321 and are measured at their cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in “orderly transactions,” as defined, for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As of August 31, 2024, and November 30, 2023, the Company did not hold any securities without readily determinable fair values.

 

The following tables presents equity securities still held by the Company as of August 31, 2024, and includes the change in fair value for the period ended August 31, 2024 and the cumulative change in fair value as of the reporting date.

Note 8 – Options to Acquire Common Stock

 

On June 25, 2024, the Company issued Edward Lee, Chairman, a stock option to acquire an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, exercisable for five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to vesting. The option vests in equal amounts over a period of one (1) year at the rate of 250,000 shares per fiscal quarter at the end of such quarter, commencing in June 2024, and pro-rated for the number of days the optionee serves on the Board during the fiscal quarter.

 

On June 25, 2024, the Company issued Eugene Cha, Director, a stock option to acquire an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, exercisable for five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to vesting. The option vests in equal amounts over a period of one (1) year at the rate of 125,000 shares per fiscal quarter at the end of such quarter, commencing in June 2024, and pro-rated for the number of days the optionee serves on the Board during the fiscal quarter.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options it granted to utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The volatility component of the calculation is based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The stock price is considered based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date.

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. During the nine months ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $60,000 and $-0- in stock based compensation related to the vesting of issued stock options. The fair values of option awards granted during the nine months ended August 31, 2024, were estimated using a Black-Sholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:

 

           
   Low   High 
Rate   4.01%   4.01%
Volatility   195.43%   195.43%
Stock price  $0.16   $0.16 
Exercise price  $0.20   $0.20 
Term (years)   3.00    3.00 

 

Determining the assumptions for the expected term and volatility requires management to exercise significant judgment. The expected term represents the weighted-average period that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules. Since the Company does not have an extended history of actual exercises, the Company has estimated the expected term using a simplified method which calculates the expected term as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the awards. Given the limited public market for the Company’s stock, the Company has elected to estimate its expected volatility by benchmarking its volatility to that of several public company issuers that operate within its market segment. The guideline companies’ volatility was increased by a size adjustment premium to compensate for the difference in size between the guideline companies and the Company in its calculation.

 

The status of the options issued under the foregoing option plans as August 31, 2023, and changes during the years then ended were as follows:

Investments in Equities

Investments in Equities

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

 

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

 

  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

  Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

For those investments in equities, including equity securities and partnership interests, that have a “readily determinable fair value,” as defined in ASC Topic 321, 321 Investments—Equity Securities (“ASC 321”) and discussed below, or are traded in a verifiable public market and are not restricted for sale in the public market by a restricted stock legend, or can otherwise be reasonably valued using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 discussed above. For these equity securities and we include the realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair values during the period as a component of ‘changes in fair value of equity securities’ in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For those investments in equities, including equity securities and partnership interests, that do not have a “readily determinable fair value,” as defined in ASC 321, we present and carry our investments using the measurement alternative which is cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in “orderly transactions,” as defined in ASC 321, for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, also referred to as U.S. GAAP. 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 as of the dates of the balance sheets and the income and expenses for the periods ended as stated in the statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes consulting income in accordance with ASC 606. This standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised services or goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Our consulting revenues currently consist of consulting contracts for professional services that are performed over a stated period of time. We recognize income for each contract on a pro-rata basis over the stated period of time as we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of 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. The Accounting Standards Codification 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.

 

For share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the period of services or the vesting period, whichever is applicable. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. We record compensation expenses based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. The Company expects that recent tax law changes contained in the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act will not have a material impact on its provision for income taxes. In addition, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is believed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be fully realized. Authoritative guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company continually reviews tax laws, regulations and related guidance in order to properly record any uncertain tax liabilities.

 

Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share

 

The Company’s loss per share calculation is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, and other equity instruments are included for purposes of calculating diluted income per share, except for periods when the Company reports a net loss, in which case the inclusion of such equity instruments would be antidilutive. As of August 31, 2024 and 2023, 1,580,000 and 80,000 options were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that management of the Company believes may impact its financial statements. Management does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
