NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s latest annual financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Xeriant, Inc., American Aviation Technologies, LLC, and Eco-Aero, LLC. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s latest annual financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of beneficial conversion features and warrants associated with convertible debt. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Deferred Taxes
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10") for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.
Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and are considered immaterial. As of September 30, 2021 there are no deferred tax assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company's ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts and if the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against revenues. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection. The allowance for doubtful accounts is created by forming a credit balance which is deducted from the total receivables balance in the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020 there are no accounts receivable.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue includes product sales. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales in accordance with Topic 606 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
|
(i)
|
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
|
|
(ii)
|
the services have been rendered and all required milestones achieved,
|
|
(iii)
|
the sales price is fixed or determinable, and
|
|
(iv)
|
Collectability is reasonably assured.
|
For the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company has no revenue.
Convertible Debentures
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature ("BCF"). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options." In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense, over the life of the debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a BCF in the amount of $250,000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10") requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10") and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Research and Development Expenses
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $2,340,575 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. The Company recorded advertising expenses in the amount of $168,087 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These expenses are included within sales in marketing expenses in the statements of operations.
Offering Costs
Costs incurred in connection with raising capital by the issuance of common stock are recorded as contra equity and deducted from the capital raised. There were no offering costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. Our consolidated federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination.
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606. The new revenue recognition standard supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under this ASU, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14, issued in August 2015, deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2017.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASC 842 that requires lessees to recognize lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The update, which supersedes existing lease guidance, will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with the classification determining the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.
The ASU will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and is applicable on a modified retrospective basis with various optional practical expedients. The Company has assessed the impact of this standard. The Company entered into a new lease agreement commencing on November 1, 2019 and implemented this guidance on November 1, 2019.
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments to nonemployees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). Under the new standard, companies will no longer be required to value non-employee awards differently from employee awards. Meaning that companies will value all equity classified awards at their grant-date under ASC 718 and forgo revaluing the award after this date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on August 6, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - JOINT VENTURE
On May 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”) with XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI”), a Delaware corporation, to form a new company, called Eco-Aero, LLC (the “JV”), a Delaware limited liability company, with the purpose of completing the preliminary design of XTI’s TriFan 600, a 5-passenger plus pilot, hybrid electric, vertical takeoff, and landing (eVTOL) fixed wing aircraft. Under the Agreement, Xeriant is contributing capital, technology, and strategic business relationships, and XTI is contributing intellectual property licensing rights and know-how. XTI and the Company each own 50 percent of the JV. The JV is managed by a management committee consisting of five members, three appointed by the Company and two by XTI. The Agreement was effective on June 4, 2021, with an initial deposit of $1 million into the JV. Xeriant’s financial commitment is $10 million, contributed over a period of less than one year, as required by the aircraft development timeline and budget.
The Company analyzed the transaction under ASC 810 Consolidation, to determine if the joint venture classifies as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The Joint Venture qualifies as a VIE based on the fact the JV does not have sufficient equity to operate without financial support from Xeriant. According to ASC 810-25-38, a reporting entity shall consolidate a VIE when that reporting entity has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that provides the reporting entity with a controlling financial interest on the basis of the provisions in paragraphs 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J. The reporting entity that consolidates a VIE is called the primary beneficiary of that VIE. According to the JV operating agreement, the ownership interests are 50/50. However, the agreement provides for a Management Committee of five members. Three of the five members are from Xeriant. Additionally, Xeriant has an obligation to invest $10,000,000 into the JV. As such, Xeriant has substantial capital at risk. Based on these two factors, the conclusion is that Xeriant is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, Xeriant has consolidated the VIE.
NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
The Company maintains accounts with financial institutions. All cash in checking accounts is non-interest bearing and is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At times, cash balances may exceed the maximum coverage provided by the FDIC on insured depositor accounts. The Company believes it mitigates its risk by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. On September 30, 2021, the Company had $31,847 in excess of FDIC insurance.
NOTE 5 - OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY
The Company leases 2,911 square feet of office space located in the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University, Innovation Centre 1, 3998 FAU Boulevard, Suite 309, Boca Raton, Florida. The Company entered into a lease agreement commencing on November 1, 2019 through January 1, 2025 in which the first three months of rent were abated. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company decided to have all employees work from home and intends to build out the office space by the end of 2021 to allow employees to work from the office in January of 2022. The following table illustrates the base rent amounts over the term of the lease:

Operating lease right-of-use asset and liability are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 10%, as the interest rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Since the common area maintenance expenses are expenses that do not depend on an index or rate, they are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability and recognized in other general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations. At inception the Company paid prepaid rent in the amount of $4,659, which was netted against the operating lease right-of-use asset balance until it was applied in February 2020.

Between September 27, 2019 and August 10, 2021, the Company issued convertible notes payable with an aggregate face value of $892,300, of which $342,950 were issued by our subsidiary AAT. The notes have a coupon rate of 6% and maturity dates between three and six months. The agreements provided the holder has the option to convert the principal balance and any accrued interest to common stock of the Company. In the event the holder does not elect to convert the note prior to maturity, the note will automatically convert to common stock. Of the $892,300, $342,950 is convertible at $.0033 per share, $87,000 is convertible at $0.025 per share, $180,550 is convertible at $.03 per share, $31,800 is convertible at $0.003 per share, and the remaining $250,000 is convertible at $.06 per share
Between March 27, 2020 and July 11, 2021, holders of the convertible notes converted the $342,950 in principal (the full balance of the AAT Notes) and $10,290 in accrued interest into 107,042,708 shares of common stock. Between November 10, 2020 and July 11, 2021, holders of the convertible notes converted $299,350 in principal and $7,224 in accrued interest into 19,641,327 shares of common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, holders of the convertible notes converted $167,550 in principal and $5,520 in accrued interest into 10,598,544 shares of common stock. The remaining principal balance of the notes as of September 30, 2021 was $250,000.
The Company evaluated these notes under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 generally requires the analysis embedded terms and features that have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances where their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and closely related to the risks of the host contract. None of the embedded terms required bifurcation and liability classification. However, the Company was required to determine if the debt contained a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which is based on the intrinsic value on the date of issuance.
NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
In connection with the notes, the Company issued warrants indexed to an aggregate 8,848,333 shares of common stock. The warrants have a term of two years and an exercise price of $.025. The Company evaluated the warrants under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and determined that they did not require liability classification. The warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital under their aggregate relative fair value of $156,225.
The Company was required to determine if the debt contained a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which is based on the intrinsic value on the date of issuance. After the allocation of $156,225 to the warrants, the remaining $512,906 in proceeds resulted in a beneficial conversion feature recorded in additional paid-in capital. Both the BCF and warrants resulted in a debt discount and are amortized over the life of the note.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $149,028 and $45,961 in amortization of debt discount related to the notes. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $2,391 and $1,087 in interest expense related to the notes, respectively.

NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company had $281,847 and $962,540 in cash and $92,968 and $677,257 in working capital, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a net loss of $4,447,915 and $327,072, respectively. Continued losses may adversely affect the liquidity of the Company in the future. Therefore, the factors noted above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems.
