Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach, which applies the new standard to contracts that are not completed as of the date of adoption. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services.

 

Revenue streams that are scoped into ASU 2014-09 include:

 

Property management services: The Company deals directly with prospects and tenants for the owners of properties, which mainly includes marketing property, collecting rent, handling maintenance, repairing issues and responding to tenant complaints. The Company recognizes revenue as earned on a monthly basis and has concluded this is appropriate under the new standard.

 

Real estate sales: The Company accounts for the sale of real estate assets and any related gain recognition in accordance with the accounting guidance applicable to sales of real estate, which establishes standards for recognition of profit on all real estate sales transactions, other than retail land sales. The Company recognizes the sale, and associated gain or loss from the disposition, provided that the earnings process is complete, and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement. Subsequent to the adoption of the new standard, the Company may recognize a gain on a real estate disposition that previously did not qualify as a sale or for full profit recognition due to the timing of the transfer of control.

 

Business Combination

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities over the fair value of purchase consideration is recorded as gain on bargain purchase included in other income on the consolidated statement of operations.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests are portions of entities included in the consolidated financial statements that are not attributable to the Company. Non-controlling interests are identified separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity and its net income (loss). Non-controlling interest equity balances include the non-controlling entity’s initial contribution at the date of the original acquisition, on-going contributions, distributions, and percentage share of earnings since inception. The non-controlling interests are calculated based on percentages of ownership.

Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock options and other equity-based compensation issued in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of equity-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all share-based compensation payments granted to employees and nonemployees, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employees’ requisite service period or the non-employee performance period 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, (FASB ASC Topic(Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the use of the new forward-looking “expected loss” model, which requires all expected losses to be determined based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, rather than the “incurred loss” model. This guidance amends the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. The effective date ofCompany adopted ASU No. 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies is postponed to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company believes the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will not have a materialon January 1, 2023, which had no impact on its financial position and resultsthe beginning balance of operations.the Company’s balance as there was no receivable balances as of January 1, 2023.

 

The management does not believe that other than disclosed above, the recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial position results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 3 - Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business. However, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,571,5641,329,119 as of June 30, 2022.2023. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon several factors, including the availability of debt or equity funding upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Company and ultimately achieving profitable operations. Management believes that the Company’s business plan provides it with an opportunity to continue as a going concern. However, management cannot provide assurance that the Company will meet its objectives and be able to continue in operation.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of Forge Innovation Development Corp. to continue as a going concern.

Going Concern Assessment

 

The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically cash outflow from operating activities, operating losses, accumulated deficit and other adverse key financial ratios.

 

Management’s plan to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include attempting to improve its business profitability, its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations and execute the business plan of the Company in order to meet its operating needs on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing capital expenditures and other requirements.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
