PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Overview

 

Signet International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware as 51142, Inc. The Company changed its corporate name to Signet International Holdings, Inc. in conjunction with the September 8, 2005 transaction discussed below.

 

On September 8, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange (Agreement) by and among Signet International Holdings, Inc. (Signet); Signet Entertainment Corporation (SIG) and the shareholders of SIG (Shareholders) (collectively SIG and the SIG shareholders shall be known as the “SIG Group”), Signet acquired 100.0% of the then issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of SIG for a total of 3,421,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares of Signet’s stock issued to the SIG Group. Pursuant to the agreement, SIG became a wholly owned subsidiary of Signet.

 

Signet Entertainment Corporation was incorporated on October 17, 2003 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida. SIG was formed to establish a television network “The Gaming and Entertainment Network”. To date, this effort has been incomplete. The Company has abandoned pursuant of any gaming or entertainment operations. The Company’s current principal business plan is to focus in developing advanced technologies, energy solutions and medical devices. By utilizing sub licensing arrangements for the intellectual property licenses we acquire, our strategy is focused on identifying strategic partners that can develop and market products based on the underlying technologies. We do not claim to have expertise in the various intellectual properties we seek to acquire. Instead, our value is based on our ability to assess technologies and appropriate partners for the commercialization of products and process based on the underlying intellectual property. Research and development of the underly technologies is being performed at major universities in Florida. The development of a commercial products will be conducted by our strategic partners.

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company redomiciled in the state of Nevada.

 

In determining whether we will pursue any particular intellectual property we have engaged outside consulting scientists to evaluate the viability of the underlying technology and its commercial viability. We do not have a set metric for determining the viability. We rely solely on the expertise of our consultants. These consultants hold certain expertise in the specific field related to the underlying technology. These include 3 consultants for graphene applications, an engineer in magnetic energy, and two consultants specializing in negotiating terms with universities and public institutions. All consultants have agreed to receive compensation in the form of common stock. These agreements have expired, but the consultants continue to provide case by case analysis when required.

 

As we approach the second quarter of 2021, we are pleased with the progress we have made. We have accomplished each phase of our growth and we have remained consistent with our responsibilities.

 

Our status as an emerging growth public company is materializing before us. We hear from other universities on a regular basis that tells us we are welcome to the fraternity of research scientists, engineers, and inventors. We have increased efforts to create more awareness of our presence by engaging a social media specialist who will keep the public informed of all our progress and assist us with shareholders relations. Our team is growing and meeting our needs.

 

Generally, the option fee ranges from $1,200 to $5,000.

 

Since all of the technologies we have options to license are trending, unique, and further advanced than any others we know of on the market today, we must maintain our edge and seek constant improvement to stay viable—and we are doing just that.

 

Because of our efforts, we have our path laid out before us. Last year´s strategy allowed us to take the proper steps to arrive at this juncture. We are now proudly holding ourselves out to the world as a viable and worthy consortium from which multinationals can acquire advanced, patented technology. Although our technologies may necessitate some retooling and possibly an avant-garde approach in implementing, we feel that in considering the alternative technologies presently available, ours is the superior choice.

 

1

 

 

We have completed these efforts to identify and locate a niche, function, and purpose for all our products. Inasmuch as our products are ‘green’ in nature and innovative in design, we feel these technologies can easily be integrated into daily life to the benefit of all. We all will see great progress and never to look back.

 

Although our business plan is highly dependent upon our usage of licensed intellectual property described herein, we have we have only exercised two of our options for exclusive licenses to date. Currently, the Company has non-exclusive options for licenses of various intellectual properties. These options may expire, and we cannot ensure that the options will be renewed. As they are non-exclusive, we also have no way to protect ourselves from other parties utilizing the underlying intellectual property before we exercise our option and move toward commercialization of the underlying technology. We further have not entered into formal negotiations regarding the terms of a formal licensing agreement, such as, but not limited to, royalty fees, minimum royalties, duration, exclusivity, funding requirements, or limitations on use. This limits our ability to determine the commercial viability of any given technology. However, we believe that we have had and continue to have good working relationships with the institutions owning the intellectual property such that our eventual use of the intellectual property will be formulated in a manner that ensures positive growth for the Company.

 

Our Plan

 

Our plan is to continue to raise awareness of our rights to license patented technologies. Our plan requires that we raise sufficient capital in order to exercise those certain options to secure the licenses. Our model is based on utilizing the expertise of research and development facilities in the Florida university system in order to deploy commercially viable products into the market. We currently are developing our marketing plan and commercial modelling. This process involves press releases, social media, marketing, expanding our contacts with professionals in interrelated fields of study, such as dermatological associations, or aviation, engineering, healthcare or energy related associations, representatives and groups, and increasing and building upon investor relationships in the private and public sectors.

 

We plan to first file all our required reports with the SEC. Once this is accomplished, we will focus full global attention raising funds to secure our licensing rights in the technologies represented by the various patents. We will attract interest and sell or license rights for the use of our technologies either geographically or industry specific. Anticipating revenue from sale of rights or even licensing is a difficult dynamic to anticipate. However, to offer illustrations of prior transactions accomplished in the past few years of similar or related technologies, attached are abstracts from published postings.

 

Since we are a public company, we have the advantages of not only raising capital through private placements, debentures, and other financial instruments, but also through entering into various forms of strategic partnerships and joint ventures to be identified.

 

Should the occasion arise whereby an investor desires to fund prototype building of anyone of our technologies; we would be in a better position to demonstrate that our product works and mass-production ready. At that time, we would be able to consider marketing and distribution opportunities.

 

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT OWN ANY PATENTS OR HAVE ANY LICENSES FOR USE OF PATENTS. WE HAVE SECURED OPTIONS TO ACQUIRE LICENSES. THE BUSINESS LINES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO EXERCISE OUR OPTIONS TO SECURE LICENSURE IN THE TECHNOLOGIES. IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE THE LICENSES, ENGAGE IN PREPARATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMERICIALIZATION AND MARKETING OF THE TECHNOLOGIES LISTED BELOW WILL REQUIRE THAT THE COMPANY RAISE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF CAPITAL.

 

The terms of our option agreement vary, but are generally described herein having range from $1,200-$5,000 to be paid as consideration for the option right. To exercise the option, we must pay between $3,500 and $5,000.,. Each option is for 1 year, and we renew any expiring options with no consideration. The options are deemed exclusive.

 

We have not yet begun negotiating the terms of a formal license, including, but not limited to, exclusivity, sublicensing, contribution of university staff and faculty in developing the commercialization of the underlying technology, costs, or rights to improvements on the underlying technology.

Medicine and Bioscience

 

Our focus in bioscience and sport medicine currently relates to four products under development: Sterilal™ self-sanitizing devices, PASS smart denture mouth guard, a handheld heart attack sensor, and a painless melanoma detection system derived from the patents we currently have options to license. We continue explore other products and methods based on our current work to develop new products and methods in the future.

 

Sterilal™

 

On September 11, 2019, we executed a one-year Option Agreement with the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. to acquire a license of certain patented technology related to self-sterilizing medical devices. The technology is described as Self-Sterilizing Device Using Plasma Fields. This self-generated plasma field provides for self-sterilization of devices used in medical procedures, drug delivery, consumer products, and food preparation and to surfaces, affording them self-sterilizing properties. The Sterilal™ product is a unique medical sterilization process technology. The self-sterilization technology utilizes plasma energy to provide self-sterilizing properties for medical devices, equipment, and surfaces. The process neutralizes contamination in seconds using a self-generated plasma field, while simultaneously minimizing risk of exposure and offering the highest levels of sterility. In July 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement to extend the option period to September 30, 2021 unless sooner terminated by the execution of a license agreement between the parties. All other provision of this option agreement shall remain in full force and effect and unmodified by this amendment.

 

Developed by researchers at a major Florida university, the Sterilal™ is a sterilization technique that enables medical devices to maintain a constant state of sterilization for fast, economical, and safe reuse or disposal. Built into a device itself, the self-sterilization could potentially apply to numerous medical devices such as scalpels, syringes, and catheters, as well as various surfaces that come into contact with patients and healthcare workers.

 

The Sterilal™’s self-generated plasma field offers numerous advantages over present methods of sterilization of medical devices. This self-generated plasma field allows self-sterilization of objects, apparatuses, and surfaces. As the field neutralizes contamination in seconds, it allows reuse of devices and equipment, which reduces time, costs, and inventory. The process further eliminates the need for toxic chemicals used in traditional sterilization procedures, reducing potential exposure and related hazards.

 

Flexible and adaptable, the device-specific technology can be applied to any surface of any shape or size. The plasma field utilizes inexpensive electrodes, insulators, and electro-active components that ensure easy and cost-efficient manufacturing.

 

The Sterilal™ comes as a response to the CDC’s estimated 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,200 deaths that occur in the United States each year due to some form of contamination. Once applied, the Sterilal™ can effectively self-sterilize devices used in medical procedures, drug delivery, consumer products, and food preparation affording them with self-sterilizing properties.

Technology

 

This self-generated plasma field allows self-sterilization of objects, apparatuses, and surfaces. Traditionally, plasma discharge involves placing a DC voltage potential across two electrodes. As the voltage potential gradually increases, upon reaching the breakdown voltage VB, the current and the amount of excitation of the neutral gas becomes large enough to produce visible plasma. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) involves one dielectric-coated electrode that is typically exposed at the surface to the surrounding atmosphere, while another electrode is embedded inside a layer of insulator. University of Florida researchers have found that with special DBD arrangements, a fast reduction of viable cells by more than four orders of magnitude is possible within a few seconds, even for UV resistant cells. Thus, a self-generating plasma field is able to maintain a constant rate of sterilization when built into medical devices and surfaces.

 

Inexpensive, Rapid, Painless Melanoma Detection by Skin Odors to Identify Malignancy Without Biopsy

 

In August 2019, we executed a one-year Option Agreement with the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. to acquire a license for certain patented technology related to non-invasive melanoma detection. This inexpensive detection of the presence of melanoma is real-time and uses vapor samples, enabling inexpensive and painless diagnoses. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer: Each year, an estimated 10,000 deaths occur from the disease, and 75,000 new cases are diagnosed. Detects biomarkers specific to melanoma increasing accuracy of diagnosis. The device operates in real-time, eliminating delay. Uses vapor or other sample, making diagnosis non-invasive and painless. These methods of detecting forms of cancer, such as melanoma, analyze the chemical compounds present in a sample of air surrounding potentially cancerous tissue, without a need for prior excision of the tissue. The advantage the system is that it is portable, non-invasive detection of biomarkers specific to melanoma.

 

Technology

 

These methods of detecting forms of cancer, such as melanoma, analyze the chemical compounds present in a sample of air surrounding potentially cancerous tissue, without a need for prior excision of the tissue. These methods include the chemical analysis of the sample by mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, or high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry. If a mole appears suspicious, a doctor can aspirate a sample of air over it. Analyzing the gas through ambient ionization and separation methods provides a spectrum of the gas specimen. In real-time, a direct analysis determines if the biomarkers for melanoma are present. This eliminates the need for the widely used “wait-and-watch” approach, as well as the need to biopsy every suspicious-looking mole, allowing more focused biopsy procedures.

 

The Company paid an option fee of $1,200 in August 2019. In August 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement to extend the option period to August 31, 2021 unless sooner terminated by the execution of a license agreement between the parties. All other provision of this option agreement shall remain in full force and effect and unmodified by this amendment.

 

Battery Technology

 

In March 2019, we executed a one-year Option Agreement with Florida International University to acquire a license for certain patented technology related to rapid battery charging systems. InCharge™ is a patented, compact magnetic-based energy source that not only produces energy but charges itself. As a new energy source, InCharge™ holds promise to revolutionize the global energy market, along with other energy-based applications.

 

On October 30, 2020, (the “Effective Date”) the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with a University for the licensed patents related to the technology for rechargeable battery device. The term of this license shall continue until licensee permanently discontinue the sale of any licensed products or unless terminated pursuant to the terms of this agreement. Licensee may grant written sublicenses to third parties. However, the licensee shall notify the University of the initiation of the license negotiation. Licensee may terminate this agreement by giving at least sixty days written notice to University. The University may terminate this agreement by giving the licensee at least thirty days written notice upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the agreement.

The Company agreed to pay license issue fee of $5,000 in two separate installments. The first installment of $1,418 shall be made within thirty days of the Effective Date and the second installment of $3,582 at the first anniversary of the effective date. The Company paid the $1,418 first installment in November 2020.

 

Additionally, the Company agreed to pay certain royalty payments as follows:

 

(i)5.5% for Net Revenues of licensed products; and

 

(ii)5.5% for Net Revenues of licensed processes.

 

Furthermore, the Company agrees to pay Licensor minimum royalty payments, as follows:

 

Payment     Year
$ 2,000     2021
$ 3,000     2022
$ 5,000     2023
$ 10,000     2024 and every year thereafter on the same date, for the life of this License Agreement.

 

The first minimum royalty payment shall be due on December 31, 2021 for calendar year 2021.

 

InCharge™ is revolutionary technology. It is a new type of battery, not an attachment. The device produces energy and it recharges virtually instantly. It offers a large number of cycles, a long storage time, as well as being compact in size. It will actually replace slow, rechargeable batteries.

 

The InCharge™ magnetic-based battery device provides energy yielding a large number of cycles with a long storage time. The patents for InCharge™ also demonstrate the operation of an instantly rechargeable device using a laboratory prototype.

 

We are currently determining whether we are financially capable of exercising our option, or if we will extend the option for another term.

 

Graphene

 

In November 2018, we executed a six-month Option Agreement with Florida International University to acquire a license of patented technology related to the application of graphene in de-icing planes. The option has expired, but we are in continued negotiations with the University. We are developing applications for a unique de-icing application of graphene for use in the airline industry, having intimate knowledge and understanding of the underlying technology, such that once a license is secured, the Company can immediately begin processes to begin commercialization. The new deicing application for aircraft will be enhanced by graphene, the revolutionary carbon-based nanotechnology. The 3D graphene foam−polymer composite can deice aircraft with superior deicing efficiency. The patent on the new material is pending. In October 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with this licensor.

 

The Company has executed an Exclusive Distributor Agreement with Jarada, Inc. Ltd (“Jarada”) of Seoul Korea The Agreement appoints Jarada an exclusive South Korean territorial distribution rights to all of the Company’s Graphene products that will be developed and made available for worldwide commercialization. The Company shall pay Jarada 15% commission on all sales made by Jarada of the Company’s Graphene products. The term of this agreement is for two years from the date of execution and shall automatically renewed unless either party provides notice of termination.

 

The material is a highly conductive multifunctional 3D graphene foam−PDMS polymer composite, or 3D GrF for short, with high-efficiency current-induced deicing capabilities. 3D GrF is a significant technological innovation in aviation deicing. The 3D graphene-polymer composite provides electrical current-induced heating and deicing capabilities for aircraft and has demonstrated impressive thermal stability to 100 electrical loading−unloading cycles. Its application is intended to serve both the public and private sectors.

 

5

 

 

FIU’s Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering successfully fabricated and submitted a patent application for the 3D GrF at their Plasma Forming Laboratory in Miami, Florida, in 2017.

 

Graphene’s high electrical and thermal conductivity, in combination with its extremely low density, provides an intrinsic uniform electrical and thermal transport path resulting in a lightweight composite with enhanced multifunctional (electrical, thermal, and mechanical) properties to serve as active deicing components on aircraft structures. Applications of 3D GrF serve as lightweight coatings and free-standing components with heating abilities in structures operating at extremely low temperatures. The coating also increases the tensile strength of the aircraft.

 

The innovative 3D GrF deicing technology comes at a time when the aircraft deicing market is expected to experience remarkable growth in the coming years. Its development is poised to enter a $1.30 billion deicing market that is presently limited by excessive costs and toxic waste. Nations across the Northern Hemisphere such as Canada, U.S., Russia, China, U.K, Germany, Poland, France, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, and Japan among many others, are all expected to witness an upsurge in demand of aircraft deicing systems.

 

The need for deicing technology has never been greater. Adhesion of ice to the surfaces of aircraft operating in critically low-temperature conditions and inclement weather severely compromises an aircraft’s aerodynamic performance. Airport deicing operations are necessitated and performed for safety of passengers and crews, as well as to preserve the structural integrity of aircrafts. The deicing operations are time consuming, causing extensive flight delays for travelers and a heavy financial burden for the airline industry.

 

Current efforts to reduce and mitigate the ice formation in aircraft surfaces include the dispersion of chemicals, mechanical removal, and electrical heating of surfaces have inherent limitations. Besides the excessive costs and time of deicing each aircraft individually, toxic chemicals pose environmentally hazardous runoff. The chemical runoff is so hazardous, efforts to contain, cleanup and even recycle the toxic ‘spills’ after each deicing has become necessary, which adds to the excessive costs. As for electrical heating systems, though they have proven suitable for deicing, when implemented, the current-induced heating system results in high power consumption, and therefore, higher costs.

 

As industry forecasts point to excessive demand and need for improved deicing technology, FIU’s Mechanical and Materials Engineering’s 3D GrF applications provide superior deicing efficiency with the added benefit of increasing the tensile strength of the aircraft. The results are not only cost effective, but more environmentally friendly. Signet is well-positioned to further the development and commercialization of this extraordinary new deicing product enhanced by the use of graphene, the revolutionary carbon-based nanotechnology.

 

On October 30, 2020, the (“Effective Date”) the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with a University for the licensed patents related to the technology for graphene foam coating and deicing.

Arc Melted Glass Piles

 

On October 8, 2019, we executed a one-year Option Agreement with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. to acquire a license of certain patented technology described as Arc Melted Glass Piles of Structural Foundations Glass created by Arc melting process producing a compressive glass in pilings. This technology has proven critical advantages, such as increased strength yielding a SKI of 36- concrete yields 4KSI. More cost effective proving at least a 40% savings. Because of the large compressive strength of glass, the required thickness can be significantly reduced requiring smaller boreholes. Soil from the borehole can be mixed with raw material additives of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and fluxing agents, most readily available at the site. The specific advantage of using glass as a piling material is that is has the potential to provide higher strength at a very low cost that parallels less demand on our natural environment. The Company paid an option fee of $1,500 in October 2019. In October 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement to extend the option period to October 15, 2021. Upon exercise of this option, the Company shall pay $1,500 no later than October 15, 2021.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Signet International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware as 51142, Inc. The Company changed its corporate name to Signet International Holdings, Inc. in conjunction with the September 8, 2005 transaction discussed below.

 

On September 8, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange (Agreement) by and among Signet International Holdings, Inc. (Signet); Signet Entertainment Corporation (SIG) and the shareholders of SIG (Shareholders) (collectively SIG and the SIG shareholders shall be known as the “SIG Group”), Signet acquired 100.0% of the then issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of SIG for a total of 3,421,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares of Signet’s stock issued to the SIG Group. Pursuant to the agreement, SIG became a wholly owned subsidiary of Signet.

 

Signet Entertainment Corporation was incorporated on October 17, 2003 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida. SIG was formed to establish a television network “The Gaming and Entertainment Network”. To date, this effort has been incomplete. The Company has abandoned pursuant of any gaming or entertainment operations. The Company’s current principal business plan is to focus in developing advanced technologies, energy solutions and medical devices. By utilizing sub licensing arrangements for the intellectual property licenses, we acquire, our strategy is focused on identifying strategic partners that can develop and market products based on the underlying technologies. We do not claim to have expertise in the various intellectual properties we seek to acquire. Instead, our value is based on our ability to assess technologies and appropriate partners for the commercialization of products and process based on the underlying intellectual property. Research and development of the underly technologies is being performed at major universities in Florida. The development of a commercial products will be conducted by our strategic partners.

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company redomiciled in the state of Nevada.

 

Generally, the option fee ranges from $1,200 to $5,000. We have exercise two of our options related to the graphene technology and battery technology. On October 30, 2020, we have entered into exclusive licensing agreements with the licensor related to the graphene technology and battery technology as described in Note 6 in our consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

10

 

 

Since all of the technologies we have options to license are trending, unique, and further advanced than any others we know of on the market today, we must maintain our edge and seek constant improvement to stay viable—and we are doing just that.

 

Because of our efforts, we have our path laid out before us. Last year´s strategy allowed us to take the proper steps to arrive at this juncture. We are now proudly holding ourselves out to the world as a viable and worthy consortium from which multinationals can acquire advanced, patented technology. Although our technologies may necessitate some retooling and possibly an avant-garde approach in implementing, we feel that in considering the alternative technologies presently available, ours is the superior choice.

 

We have completed these efforts to identify and locate a niche, function, and purpose for all our potential products. Inasmuch as our potential products are ‘green’ in nature and innovative in design, we feel these technologies can easily be integrated into daily life to the benefit of all. We all will see great progress and never to look back.

 

Although our business plan is highly dependent upon our usage of licensed intellectual property described herein, we have only secured 2 exclusive licenses through exercise of our options. Currently, the Company has non-exclusive options for licenses of various intellectual properties except for the two of our option agreements which are the graphene and battery technology. Five of our options may expire, and we cannot ensure that these options will be renewed. As they are non-exclusive, we also have no way to protect ourselves from other parties utilizing the underlying intellectual property before we exercise our option and move toward commercialization of the underlying technology. We further have not entered into formal negotiations on these five options regarding the terms of a formal licensing agreement, such as, but not limited to, royalty fees, minimum royalties, duration, exclusivity, funding requirements, or limitations on use. This limits our ability to determine the commercial viability of any given technology. However, we believe that we have had and continue to have good working relationships with the institutions owning the intellectual property such that our eventual use of the intellectual property will be formulated in a manner that ensures positive growth for the Company. On October 30, 2020, we have exercised our two options and entered into exclusive licensing agreements with the licensor related to the graphene technology and battery technology as described in Note 6 in our consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Plan of Operations

 

We have engaged a new scientist to help further develop out technologies and interact with the several universities with whom we have contracts. We hear from other universities on a regular basis that tells us we are welcome to the fraternity of research scientists, engineers, and inventors. We have increased efforts to create more awareness of our presence by engaging a social media specialist who will keep the public informed of all our progress and assist us with shareholders relations. Our team is growing and meeting our needs.

 

As a reporting company, we have engaged an SEC legal counsel to guide us through the labyrinth of compliance and the next steps to up-listing. We have also retained our patent counsel to advise and instruct us on strategy and enhancement of our patent rights, protecting us not only domestically but also worldwide.

 

Since all of our technologies are trending, unique, and further advanced than any others we know of on the market today, we must maintain our edge and seek constant improvement to stay viable—and we are doing just that.

 

Because of our efforts, we have our path laid out before us. Last year´s strategy allowed us to take the proper steps to arrive at this juncture. We are now proudly holding ourselves out to the world as a viable and worthy consortium from which multinationals can acquire advanced, patented technology. Although our technologies may necessitate some retooling and possibly an avant-garde approach in implementing, we feel that in considering the alternative technologies presently available, ours is the superior choice.

 

We have completed these efforts to identify and locate a niche, function, and purpose for all our products. Inasmuch as our products are ‘green’ in nature and innovative in design, we feel these technologies can easily be integrated into daily life to the benefit of all. We all will see great progress and never to look back.

 

11

 

 

We currently own exclusive licensing agreement rights to two of our technologies; graphene and battery technology. We have not developed any products based on said technology. Instead, we have options that provide us exclusive limited access to the intellectual properties through the option to license.

 

We have executed an Exclusive Distributor Agreement with Jarada, Inc. Ltd (“Jarada”) of Seoul Korea The Agreement appoints Jarada an exclusive South Korean territorial distribution rights to all of our Graphene products that will be developed and made available for worldwide commercialization. We shall pay Jarada 15% commission on all sales made by Jarada of our Graphene products. The term of this agreement is for two years from the date of execution and shall automatically renewed unless either party provides notice of termination.

 

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely. Although we have had occasion to travel overseas for meetings, expos, and demonstrations, we experienced similar restrictions. The outcome of our business meeting is indeterminate. However, we continue to maintain a dialogue with our European counterparts. Our operations have not been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. As of the date of this report, our business remains open. At this time, we do not foresee any material changes to our operations from COVID-19. While we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if our business must close. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our products and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenue:

 

The Company is in its development stage. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any revenue generating operations, nor did the Company have any related cost of goods sold.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

The Company’s operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $354,777 and $114,025, respectively, an increase of $240,752 or 211%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had total operating expenses of $354,777 primarily consisting of professional fees of $78,859, consulting fees of $208,029, public company expenses of $13,107, lease expense of $15,245, compensation expense of $16,072, research and development expenses of $6,000, travel and entertainment of $4,482, and other office expenses of $13,892. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had total operating expenses of $114,025 primarily consisting of professional fees of $13,400, consulting fees of $41,735, public company expenses of $7,048, rent expense of $14,276, compensation expense of $13,150, research and development expenses of $6,500, travel and entertainment of $5,004, and other office expenses of $12,912. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to increase in stock-based consulting fees of $166,294 and increase professional fees of $65,459 related to accounting and legal services rendered for our public company filings.

 

Net Loss:

 

The Company’s net losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $354,777 and $114,750, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had total current assets of $123,875, which primarily consisted of cash of $123,493 and prepaid expenses of $382. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had total current assets of $148,293, which primarily consisted of cash of $106,661, prepaid expenses of $16,632 and subscription receivable of $25,000.

 

12

 

 

As of December 31, 2020, we had a working capital surplus of $92,781 as compared to a working capital deficit of $342,442 as of December 31, 2019. In 2020, the Company reduced total accrued salary by $460,952 to our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the issuance of 829,721 shares of common stock valued at $94,422 and $366,530 of contributed capital from the forgiveness of accrued salaries in January 2020 thereby eliminating the accrued salary due to officer and thereby reduced the working capital deficit.

 

The Company will have additional capital requirements during calendar year 2021. Currently, the Company does not have any revenue generating business operations, nor does the Company currently have the capital resources required to execute its business strategy. Therefore, the Company will attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities.

 

The Company cannot assure that we will have sufficient capital to finance our growth and/or business operations or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. The Company is currently incurring operating losses that are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we received total proceeds of $161,028 from sale of common stock and collected $25,000 of subscription receivable which were used for working capital purposes. We have incurred legal, accounting, consulting, rent and office expense during our operations.

 

We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future. If we require additional capital, we would have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $354,777 and $169,196, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and had no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,854,524 at December 31, 2020. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. Currently, management is seeking capital to implement its business plan. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we received proceeds of $172,556 from sale of the Company’s common stock offset by purchase of treasury stock for $5,000.

 

We currently have no external sources of liquidity, such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital. We expect to require additional financing to fund our current operations for calendar year 2021. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.

 

If we are unable to raise the funds required to fund our operations, we will seek alternative financing through other means, such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of equity-based instruments issued for other than cash, valuation of right-of-use assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

14

 

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 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. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

  Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

     
  Level 2:

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

     
  Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to non-employees for goods and services, and to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values,

 

Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of highly subjective variables.

 

The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for employee stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

 

15

 

 

Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards which are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our business strategy for much more than 12 months. At the date hereof, we have minimal cash at hand. We require additional capital to implement our business and fund our operations.

 

Since inception we have funded our operations primarily through equity financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our operations through the equity and debt financing, either alone or through strategic alliances. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We intend to continue to fund our business by way of equity or debt financing until natural revenues can support the Company. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we are required to reduce the scope of our business development activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you will lose all of your investment.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no 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 our stockholders.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Not required of smaller reporting companies.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. 3As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report, using the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The term “internal control over financial reporting”, as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, means a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Based upon the evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were not effective as a result of continuing weaknesses principally due to the following:

 

  - The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and only one officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties.
     
  - An outside consultant assists in the preparation of the annual and quarterly financial statements and partners with the Company to ensure compliance with US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
     
  - Outside counsel assists the Company in the external attorneys to review and editing of the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements.

 

At such time as the Company raises additional working capital it plans to add staff, initiate training, add additional subject matter expertise in its finance area so that it may improve it processes, policies, procedures, and documentation of its internal control processes.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance;

 

The names, ages and positions of our directors and executive officers are as follows:

 

Name   Age   Position   Position Held Since
Ernest W. Letiziano   80   Director/President   2005

 

Our bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be nine (9) or less. Our bylaws also provide that directors may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our board, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office even if less than a quorum. Any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successor(s) are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner replaced. The classification of directors, together with the limitations on removal of directors and treatment of vacancies, has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors. Our executive officers are elected by the board of directors and their terms of office are at the discretion of the board of directors, subject to terms and conditions of their respective employment agreements, if any. Pursuant to our amended bylaws we have indemnified our officers and directors to the fullest extent allowed under Nevada law.

Committees

 

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company’s board of directors does not have any committees.

 

The Board of Directors does not currently have a formal nominating committee as we are deemed a “controlled company” in that our CEO and Chairman, Ernesto Letiziano holds greater than 50% voting control. As such, nominations of additional board members or nominees for shareholder election are set forth by Mr. Letiziano. Mr. Letiziano will consider shareholder nomination. However, there are currently no formal standards for accepting or rejecting such nominations.

Code of Ethics

Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of:

Signet International Holdings, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Signet International Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss and cash used in operations of $354,777 and $169,196, respectively, in 2020, has no revenue in 2020 or 2019 and has an accumulated deficit of $7,854,524 at December 31, 2020. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Signet International Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

 

Signet International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware and redomiciled in Nevada in February 2018. The Company’s current principal business plan is to focus in developing advanced technologies, energy solutions and medical devices. The Company has no operating history as of yet.

 

Note 2 - Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $354,777 and $169,196 respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and has no revenues in 2020 or 2019. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,854,524 as of December 31, 2020. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. Currently, management is seeking capital to implement its business plan. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The Company is monitoring this closely. Although the Company has had occasion to travel overseas for meetings, expos, and demonstrations, the Company experienced similar restrictions. The outcome of the Company’s business meeting is indeterminate. However, the Company continues to maintain a dialogue with its European counterparts. The Company’s operations have not been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, however, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. As of the date of this report, the Company’s business remains open. At this time, the Company does not foresee any material changes to its operations from COVID-19. While the Company does not anticipate an impact on its operations, the Company cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if the Company’s business must close. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to its business, including weakened demand for the Company’s products and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its three wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All wholly-owned subsidiaries were inactive subsidiaries at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of equity-based instruments issued for other than cash, valuation of right-of-use assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Risks and uncertainties for development stage company

 

The Company is considered to be in an early stage since we have not commenced planned principal operations. Our activities since inception include devoting substantially all of the Company’s efforts to business planning and development. Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment to the completion of the Company’s development activities to launch its marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. The Company has not yet generated revenue from operations. The Company’s activities during this early stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

 

Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 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. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

These inputs are prioritized below: 

 

Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
   
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
   
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including prepaid expense, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued salaries are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Property

 

Property is carried at cost which made up of office equipment. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The Company shall capitalize cost of property over $1,500.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to non-employees for goods and services, and to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values.

 

Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of highly subjective variables.

 

The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for employee stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

  

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

Net loss per share of common stock 

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 50,000,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding related to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for both periods (see Note 4). Those potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Long-lived assets,” which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Accounting standards which are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

 

Note 4 - Stockholders’ Deficit

 

The authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

Preferred stock

 

The Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue, from time to time, preferred stock in one or more series for such consideration and with such relative rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions that the Board may determine. The preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and purchase funds and other matters. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

The Company may redeem at $0.10 per share with 30 days’ notice.

 

Dividends: The holders of Series A Super Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends or distributions on a pro rata basis with the holders of common stock when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. Dividends shall not be cumulative. No dividends or distributions shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the Common Stock in any calendar year unless dividends or distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock for such calendar year are likewise declared and paid or set apart for payment. No declared and unpaid dividends shall bear or accrue interest.

 

Liquidation Preference: Upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Super Voting Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to, on a pro-rata basis with the holders of common stock, distributions of the assets of the Corporation, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders.

The Company reduced total accrued salaries by $460,960 in connection with the issuance of 921,920 shares of common stock and recorded $414,864 of contributed capital from the forgiveness of accrued salaries.

 

In September 2019, a consultant returned 21,000 shares of the Company’s common stock after resigning as a business advisor of the Company. The Company cancelled the 21,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which was recorded at par value.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020:

 

In January 2020, the Company settled accrued salaries to its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in the amount of $94,422 by issuing 829,721 shares of common stock at a price of approximately $0.11 per share, based on recent private placement sales of common stock on the date of grant. Additionally, the CEO forgave accrued salary of $366,530.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

 

The Company has incurred historical aggregate net operating losses of approximately $2,011,016 for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2020. The net operating loss carries forward for United States income taxes, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears not more than likely than not due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to zero. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as necessary.

 

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

 

  

Year Ended

Non-deductible expenses   44,068    4,841 
Increase in valuation allowance   48,174    24,994 
Total provision for income tax  $-   $- 

 

The Company’s approximate net deferred tax asset was as follows:

Net operating loss carryforward  $522,864   $474,690 
Valuation allowance   (522,864)   (474,690)
Net deferred tax asset  $-   $- 

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act decreases the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from a maximum of 34% to a flat 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Act also includes a number of other provisions including, among others, the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks and limitations on the use of future losses, the repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax regime and the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction. These provisions are not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation. Given the significant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional implementation guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, further implications of the Act may be identified in future periods.

Signet International Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 because it was not known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward. The increase in the allowance was $48,174 in fiscal 2020. The potential tax benefit arising from the loss carryforward of approximately $1,668,018 accumulated through December 31, 2017 will expire in 2037 and the fiscal 2018, 2019 and 2020 net operating loss carryforward of approximately $342,998 may be carried forward indefinitely.

  

Additionally, the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes or business changes that could occur in the future. If necessary, the deferred tax assets will be reduced by any carryforward that expires prior to utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position. The Company’s 2018, 2019 and 2020 Corporate Income Tax Returns are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination.

 

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating lease

 

In January 2018, the Company entered into a one-year sub-lease agreement related to its leased office facilities in Palm Beach, FL with the CEO of the Company (see Note 7). The lease shall automatically be extended for successive one-year renewal term not to exceed 5 annual renewal terms in total unless the landlord or tenant gives a written notice of non-renewal on or before 30 days prior to expiration of the term. The lease currently requires monthly payments of approximately $1,136 plus sales tax and the Company is not responsible for any additional charges for common area maintenance. The monthly rent will increase by 2% at the end of each year.

 

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets $45,645 and total lease liabilities of $45,645 based on an incremental borrowing rate of 12%. For the respective years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we paid an aggregate of $15,100 and $14,854 for rent under this agreement, respectively.
