The following discussion and analysis are based upon Karbon-X Corp’s unaudited financial statements contained in this Current Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Overview

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name CocoLuv, Inc. on September 13, 2017 and established a fiscal year end of May 31. 

On February 21, 2022, pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Karbon-X Project Inc. ("Karbon-X"), and Karbon-X became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in a reverse acquisition (the "Reverse Acquisition"). Pursuant to the Reverse Acquisition, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Karbon-X common stock were converted, at an exchange ratio of 20,000-for-1, into an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, resulting in Karbon-X becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and all debt owed to the related party of Cocoluv, Inc. was forgiven. The accompanying financial statements' share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio in the Reverse Acquisition.  As part of the Reverse Acquisition, on April 14, 2022 the Company changed its name to Karbon-X Corp.

Karbon-X provides customized transactional options, tailored insights, and scalable access to the Verified Emissions Reduction markets.

Karbon-X changes the marketing framework of traditional carbon marketing by engaging the public vs industry with multiple forms of technology based greenhouse gas reduction builds.  Karbon-X will allow the public to purchase carbon offsets from an APP that is subscription based, with multiple levels of investment for every budget. Each subscription will support clean energy projects such as solar or wind power, methane capture, or reforestation and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions with provable, verifiable carbon credits.

Karbon-X is in development of NFTs to digitize and allow for the trading of tokenized carbon credits in order to bring transparency and liquidity to the global carbon offset market. The aim of the decentralized platform is to enable offset trading on existing tokenized exchanges and their own exchange accepting of all forms of payment, crypto, fiat or card.

NFT minting platform for carbon credits truly allows carbon credit owners to mint their credits into NFTs for a secure and efficient method of trading in a market that appears set to grow rapidly in the coming years. A trading platform will allow the owners of the NFT to monitor their assets while tracking their value and trading history.  This is done on the blockchain to mitigate many risks such as double trading and long-term record keeping issues.

References in this periodic report on Form 10-Q to “Karbon-X” or the “Company” may include references to the operations of our subsidiary Karbon-X Project. This entity is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of Karbon-X and consequentially reports quarterly financials up to a consolidated quarterly submission.

Effects of COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and the related adverse public health developments have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. Management has determined that there has been no significant impact to the Company’s operations, however management continues to monitor the situation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, included in the Company’s year-end financial statements on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2022.  Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine-months ended February 28, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2023. 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Sales Tax Receivable

Sales tax receivable consists of the accumulated reclaimable GST paid by the Company on purchases made in Canada. 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are all five years.

Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the life of the asset, are expensed. Upon sale or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed based on market factors and operational considerations for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using weighted average of the cost of the goods on hand at the year end or net realizable value. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”). For financial statement purposes, the reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”).

For financial reporting purposes, the consolidated financial statements are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, USD. Asset and liabilities are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date with the resulting translation adjustments included as a separate component of shareholder’s equity through other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of operations. 

Income and expenses are translated at the average yearly rates of exchange.  The Company includes realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Warrants

There is estimation uncertainty with respect to selecting inputs to the Black-Sholes model used to determine the fair value of the warrants (Note 6).

The above estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Earnings per Common Share

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. As of February 28, 2023, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share.   

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

To date the Company has generated minimal revenues from its business operations and has incurred operating losses since inception of $850,262.  The Company will require additional funding to meet its ongoing obligations and to fund anticipated operating losses.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way of private placements and advances from related parties as may be required. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Net loss from operations after income taxes was $646,034 during the nine months ended February 28, 2023 compared to $34,781 for the nine month period ended February 28, 2022.  Again this was as a result of office and general expenses, app development expense and tree planting expense.

As of February 28, 2023, the Company had $134,152 in current assets.

To date, the Company has financed its operations through equity sales and one note transaction. 

On March 7, 2022 the Company commenced a private placement pursuant to Rule 506(c) promulgated under Regulation D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The private placement is ongoing. The private placement sought to raise $1,000,000 through the sale of Units at $0.25 per Unit, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock for two years at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  We obtained $1,040,000 in gross proceeds from this offering.

On November 23, 2022 the Company commenced a private placement pursuant to Rule 506(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  As of February 28, 2023 in that private placement the company sold 720,000 units at $0.25 per unit for total proceeds of $180,000.  Each unit consisted of share of common stock and warrant to purchase a share of common stock for $0.75 per share for a period of two years.

During the three months ended February 28, 2023, Karbon-X Corp. completed a private placement pursuant to Rule 506(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  In that private placement the company sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share for total proceeds of $500,000. 

Future Financing

In connection with its proposed business plan and currently ongoing and proposed acquisitions, in addition to the possible proceeds from this offering the Company will be required to complete substantial and significant additional capital formation. Such formation could be through additional equity offerings, debt, bank financings or a combination of any source of financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completion of such financings.

Plan of Operations

As noted above, the continuation of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of convertible notes or common shares, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to fund our plan of operations through 2023. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail and possibly cease some operations. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for operations, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, working capital and general corporate purposes.

We continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.

Capital Expenditures

As of February 28, 2023 we had no capital expenditures.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern

To date the Company has generated no revenues from its business operations and has incurred operating losses since inception of $850,262.  The Company will require additional funding to meet its ongoing obligations and to fund anticipated operating losses.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way of private placements and advances from related parties as may be required. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
