SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ReachOut Technology Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ReachOut IND and RedGear. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Since September 2, 2022, following the purchase of 100% of the membership interests in Innovative Network Designs LLC, (now ReachOut IND) and RedGear, LLC on October 2, 2023, the operations, assets and liabilities have been consolidated into the Company. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, YIC Acquisitions Corp., ReachOut (and its subsidiaries). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. ReachOut’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, ReachOut IND and RedGear were acquired on September 2, 2022 (purchase of 100% 100% Under reverse merger accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, ReachOut, the Company’s financial statements prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition; reflect only the business of ReachOut and its subsidiaries. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, inventory, revenue recognition and the valuations of common and preferred stock, valuations of derivative liabilities and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, analysis and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held at accredited financial institutions. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 84,785 The Company’s subsidiary, Innovative Design Networks, has one client with outstanding unpaid account representing a total of 68% 58% Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of year or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accounts Receivable Trade receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less the allowance for credit losses. Factors used to establish an allowance include the credit quality of the customer and other factors. The Company may also use the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts that are not received. Using the direct write-off method, trade receivable balances are written off to bad debt expense when an account balance is deemed to be uncollectible. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses primarily for estimated losses resulting from the inability or failure of individual customers to make required payments. The Company maintains an allowance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 based on historical losses, changes in payment history, customer-specific information, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance under ASC 326 is updated as additional losses are incurred or information becomes available related to the customer or economic conditions. As of December 31, 2023, the calculated allowance for credit losses was $318, however due to the immateriality of the calculated amount no reserve was recorded. Deferred Financing Costs All unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Company borrowings are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt. As of December 31, 2023 the unamortized deferred financing fees related to the issuance of preferred stock was $ 11,618 interest and financing costs 35,941 Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost is principally determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The Company periodically assesses if any of the inventory has expired or if the value has fallen below cost. When this occurs, the Company recognizes an expense for inventory write down. Total inventories at December 31, 2023 and 2023 were $ 0 0 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Net Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings (loss) of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution. The total potentially dilutive shares calculated is 6,088,595,635 1,020,062,029 699,082,277 2,446,420,970 49,926,959 305,757,519 1,566,666,667 Schedule of antidilutive shares December 31, December 31, Series A Preferred Stock Payable 1,020,062,029 - Series A Preferred Stock outstanding 699,082,277 1,000,000 Series C Preferred Stock outstanding 2,446,420,970 - Series D Preferred Stock outstanding 49,926,959 - Warrants 305,757,519 - Third party convertible debt 1,566,666,667 - Common shares to be issued 68,000 660,000 Common stock options 611,214 - Total 6,088,595,635 1,660,000 Stock-based Compensation In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the FASB Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined 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. The standard establishes a hierarchy in determining the fair value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. The standard requires the utilization of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value and carrying amounts of current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s non-financial assets, such as property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs . Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates. Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows: Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values. The carrying amounts of Notes Payable approximate the fair value as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates. The table below classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Schedule of liabilities measured at fair value At December 31, 2023 At December 31, 2022 Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative Liability - - $ 14,637,055 - - $ - A roll-forward of the level 3 valuation financial instruments is as follows Schedule of fair value measurements roll-forward Derivative Balance at December 31, 2022 $ - Charged to derivative expense upon issuance of related note 1,406,313 Classified as initial debt discount upon issuance of related note 436,000 Fair Value adjustments - convertible note 12,794,742 Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 14,637,055 A summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s derivative liability that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows: Schedule of derivative liabilities Inputs December 31, Stock price $ 0.009 Conversion price $ 0.0003 Volatility (annual) 348 % Risk-free rate 5.18 % Dividend rate - Years to maturity 1.36 An additional $ 142,279 142,424,186 Income Taxes Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to tax net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, no Revenue recognition The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers Identification of a contract with a customer; Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; Determination of the transaction price; Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company deferred revenue of $ 68,618 31,444 The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Operating Companies”) are not selling or leasing software to customers. The operating companies provide managed IT services (managing customers networks including security, support user needs and network infrastructure), and installation (cabling and network hardware and third-party software set up). Agreements such as the Master Consulting Services Agreement are entered into by the operating companies and their clients. These agreements provide the general terms of service and the legal matters essential to the agreement. The agreements are supplemented by Statements of Work (SOW) which spell specific services and any hardware to be provided. Invoices are prepared based on the terms of the SOW either monthly for services to be rendered for the coming month or based on installation progress estimates, collectively the billings are based on performance obligations. Revenue from invoiced billings is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. It is management’s practice to only invoice for services and goods to be provided within the coming month. While services may not be fully transferred the client is in fact obligated to pay the invoiced amount unless the contract is terminated with prior notice. The Company manages its operating income on a regional basis at the present time. Revenue recognized for the Northeast region was $ 2,750,643 1,024,499 Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in General and Administrative expenses. The Company expensed $ 171,774 Deferred Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of December 31, 2023 and 2023 the Company had recorded $ 0 0 305,000 Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. In accordance with ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting Business Combinations In accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”, we account for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Any cost or equity method interest that we hold in the acquired company prior to the acquisition is re-measured to fair value at acquisition with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income for the difference between fair value and the existing book value. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in our results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets. Related Party Transactions The Company follows FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, “Related Party Transactions”, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) our affiliates; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) our principal owners; e) our management; f) other parties with which we may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Material related party transactions are required to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement Lease Accounting In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases The Company’s subsidiaries have recognized the Right of Use assets and related liabilities for leases and sublease for the office facilities in New Jersey, Texas and Arizona during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and following the acquisitions are accounted for under ASC 842. The corporate office is an informal arrangement which provides for office space in a shared office environment with a company controlled by the CEO and has not been charged for the office space during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company recognized lease liabilities of $767,068 (2024) and $174,098 (2023) and the related right-of-use asset for the same amounts, and will amortize both over the life of the lease. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Company has reviewed the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 modifies the reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily by requiring enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, ASU 2023-07: (i) enhances interim disclosure requirements, (ii) clarifies the circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple measures of a segment’s profit or loss, (iii) provides new segment disclosure requirements for public entities with a single reportable segment, and (iv) requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“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. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, which is intended to address issues identified during the post-implementation review of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The amendment, among other things, eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. This adoption did not have a material effect to the Company. In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity Management does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances. |
