NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of accounting policies for Capstone Companies, Inc. (“CAPC”, “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), a Florida corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024, and results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC relating to interim financial statements and in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted in the condensed financial statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.

The operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had negative working capital of $3,748,008, an accumulated deficit of $11,279,023, a cash balance of $1,895, short- term notes payable of $2,719,587 and $320,329 of long-term liabilities for deferred taxes. Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $481,807 and used cash in operations of $124,571.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported a $47,000 or 49% increase in net revenue from $96,000 in 2023 to $143,000 in 2023. The increase in revenue period to period is due to a liquidation sale of the Smart Mirrors for $80,000. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $482,000 as compared to $1,215,000 in 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company used in operating activities approximately $125,000 of cash in 2024 and $574,000 in 2023. The decrease in net cash used in operations primarily relates to decrease in right of use operating lease expense for the non-renewal of the office lease, and decreases in inventory and operating expenses during 2024 as the company has moved to a remote work environment and decreased overhead and workforce costs significantly.

These liquidity conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking alternative sources of liquidity, including but not limited to debt or equity funding through issuance of securities, or other alternative financing measures.

On October 31, 2024 the Company signed an Unsecured Promissory Note (“Note”) with Coppermine Ventures, LLC (“Coppermine”), a private Maryland limited liability company based in Baltimore County, Maryland, of $125,914 (“Principal”) to the Company. The Principal is to be used to pay the working capital debts of the Company listed in Exhibit Two to the Note. The Principal accrues interest at a simple annual rate of 7%. Principal and accrued interest thereon is due and payable in a single lump sum due on July 31, 2025, unless occurrence of certain events causes all sums to become due prior to July 31, 2025, including certain events of default. The Note is not secured by collateral or any other secured interest and does not provide for any conversion of debt-to-equity securities or issuance of any securities. See Note 6.

In addition, as an inducement to make the loan evidenced by the Note and to make a financial commitment to fund the essential working capital needs of the Company through March 31, 2025, the Company and Coppermine signed a Management Transition Agreement (“MTA”) on October 31, 2024. MTA provides, in part, that Coppermine will: (1) designate two (2) persons for appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the Company’s Board of Directors; (2) designate a person to act as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company upon the resignation of the incumbent Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and (3) fund certain essential and projected working capital needs of the Company, as set forth in Attachment Two to the MTA, through March 31, 2025. The “essential working capital needs” are those Company expenses that are necessary to pay to maintain the Company as a reporting company under the 1934 Act, cover the annual fee for the quotation of the Company’s Common Stock on The OTC Markets Group (“OTC”) QB Venture Market and OTC Blue Sky monitoring service through August 2025, retain the acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company, retain outside legal counsel to the Company and maintain Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance coverage. See Note 6.

Certain directors have provided necessary funding including a working capital line to support the Company’s cash needs through this period of revenue development, but this funding is limited in amount and frequency. Unless the Company succeeds in raising additional capital or successfully increases cash generated from operations, or finds and consummates an alternative transaction to improve its financial condition, management believes there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations over the next twelve months from the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

Nature of Business

The Company has its principal executive offices in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

On April 13, 2012, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, named Capstone International Hong Kong Ltd (“CIHK”) which provides support services such as engineering, new product development, product sourcing, factory certification and compliance, product price negotiating, product testing and quality control and ocean freight logistics for the Company’s other subsidiaries. With the shift of manufacturing to Thailand from China, the CIHK operation was downsized and dormant as of March 2022.

From 2007 until 2022, the Company, through Capstone Industries, Inc “CAPI”, was primarily engaged in the business of developing, marketing, and selling home LED products (“Lighting Products”) through national and regional retailers in North America and in certain overseas markets. The LED category has matured and is no longer the innovative “must have” consumer product as in previous years. As such, the Company entered into another home goods product segment by developing a smart interactive mirror (“Smart Mirror”) for residential use. The development of the Smart Mirrors was part of the Company’s strategic effort to find new product lines to replace the Lighting Products. The Smart Mirrors have not provided sufficient sustained revenues to support the Company operations.

The Company’s products have been typically manufactured in Thailand and China by contract manufacturing companies. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company’s future product development effort is focused on the development of a “Connected Surfaces” portfolio. The Connected Surfaces portfolio is designed to tap into consumer’s ever-expanding Internet of Things, wireless connected lifestyles prevalent today. The Company has finalized development of a kitchen appliance, the “Connected Chef”, which is a purpose-built tablet with an integrated platform for cooking accessories, i.e.: cutting board, and designed to safely deliver and access content on mobile and web based platforms. The Connected Chef is not yet in production and has not produced any pre-production sales orders or revenues as of the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company would have to raise funding to pay for the production and acquisition of inventory for any Connected Chef orders, which funding may not be possible to raise in light of the financial condition of the Company.

The Company believes the MTA and new management members will serve the best interests of the Company and its public shareholders by potentially expanding the expertise, funding sources and business development capabilities and networks of the Company and bringing possible new perspectives and ideas to the efforts to establish a viable business operation for the Company. The Company is currently focused on the development or acquisition of a new business line capable of generating operating revenues instead of the internal development and launch of a new consumer product. The development or acquisition of a new business line will require funding in excess of amounts provided under the Note and MTA. There is no assurance that additional funding can be obtained for development or acquisition of a new business line.

The Company’s operations through September 2024 consisted of one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Consumer Home Goods.

Inventories

The Company’s inventory, which consisted of finished Thin Cast Smart Mirror products for resale to consumers by Capstone, was recorded at the lower of landed cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. The Company writes down its inventory balances for estimates of excess and obsolete amounts. During the fourth quarter of 2023, Management reviewed the valuation of inventory on hand and decided to write off all Smart Mirror inventory as of December 31, 2023, resulting in a $133,775 reduction in inventory to bring the balance to $0 and a corresponding expense to cost of sales. The write off of the remaining inventory was due to lower than expected sales of the Smart Mirrors coupled with limited working capital to advance marketing efforts.

Goodwill

On September 13, 2006, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation (“CAPI”). Capstone was incorporated in Florida on May 15, 1996, and is engaged primarily in the business of wholesaling technology inspired consumer products to distributors and retailers in the United States. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CAPI’s Common Stock, and recorded goodwill of $1,936,020. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is initially computed as the amount paid by the acquiring company in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment on December 31 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company will then perform a one-step quantitative impairment text, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (not to exceed the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). Goodwill is not amortized. The Company estimates the fair value of its single reporting unit relative to the Company’s market capitalization. There was no impairment charge for the nine month ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

Fair Value Measurement

The accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10) requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For calculation of the diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the total number of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation was 208,288 options, 199,733 warrants and 15,000 of preferred B-1 stock convertible into 999,900 shares of common stock for 2024 and 408,288 options, 199,733 warrants and 15,000 of preferred B-1 stock convertible into 999,900 shares of common stock for 2023.

Revenue Recognition for Consumer Product Business

The Company has generated revenue from developing, marketing and selling consumer products through national and regional retailers. The Company’s products are targeted for applications such as home indoor and outdoor lighting as well as Internet-of-Thing devices and will have different functionalities. Capstone operated in the consumer electronic products category in the Unites States and in specific overseas markets. These products were offered either under the Capstone brand or a private brand. The Company does not have a product line that is generating revenues as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

A sales contract occurs when the customer-retailer submits a purchase order to buy a specific product, a specific quantity, at an agreed-fixed price, within a ship window, from a specific location and on agreed payment terms. The selling price in all of our customers’ orders has been previously negotiated and agreed to including any applicable discount prior to receiving the customer’s purchase order. The stated unit price in the customer’s order has already been determined and is fixed at the time of invoicing.

With respect to its former consumer products business, the Company recognized lighting product revenue when the Company’s performance obligations as per the terms in the customers purchase order have been fully satisfied, specifically, when the specified product and quantity ordered has been manufactured and shipped pursuant to the customers requested ship window, when the sales price as detailed in the purchase order is fixed, when the product title and risk of loss for that order has passed to the customer, and collection of the invoice is reasonably assured. This means that the product ordered and to be shipped has gone through quality assurance inspection, customs and commercial documentation preparation, the goods have been delivered, title transferred to the customer and confirmed by a signed cargo receipt or bill of lading. Only at the time of shipment when all performance obligations have been satisfied will the judgement be made to invoice the customer and complete the sales contract.

Marketing allowances include the cost of underwriting an in-store instant rebate coupon or a target markdown allowance on a specific product. The Company retains these allowances for a period of 3 to 5 years in the event the customer chargebacks for a promotional allowance against an open invoice or submits an invoice for their claim. Cash discounts represent discounts offered to the retailer off outstanding accounts receivable in order to initiate early payment. These allowances are evaluated when our relationship with a customer is terminated, or we cease selling a specific product to a customer and may be released as other income if deemed not required.

Direct-to-consumer orders for the Connected Surfaces Smart Mirrors were sold initially through e-commerce platforms. The Company also sold the Connected Surfaces Smart Mirror program through independent retailers. The Company only billed the customer and recognized revenue upon the customer obtaining control of the Smart Mirror order which generally occurred upon delivery.

The Company expensed license royalty fees and sales commissions when incurred and these expenses are recognized during the period the related sale is recorded. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses.

The following table presents net revenue by geographic location which is recognized at a point in time:

Schedule of net revenue by major source
	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024					For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
	Revenues		% of Revenue			Revenues		% of Revenue
Lighting Products – U.S.		57,829		40	%		—		—
Smart Mirror Products- U.S.		85,439		60	%		95,968		100	%
Total Net Revenue	$	143,268		100	%	$	95,968		100	%

We provide our wholesale customers with limited rights of return for non-conforming product warranty claims. As a policy, the Company does not accept product returns from customers, however occasionally as part of a customers in store test for new product, we may receive back residual inventory.

Smart Mirror customer orders were shipped within one to two days of receipt. Revenue was recorded upon processing of the sale with a third-party merchant processor such as Stripe or Amazon Pay. Lighting Product customer orders received were not long-term orders and were typically shipped within nine months of the order receipt, but certainly within a one-year period.

Our Smart Mirror customers were charged when executing the e-commerce purchase. We do not have extended payment terms for our Smart Mirror customers. Our Lighting Product payment terms varied by the type of customer, the customer’s credit standing, the location where the product will be picked up from and for international customers and which country their corporate office is located. The time between invoicing date and when payment is due may vary between 30 days and 90 days depending on the customer type. To ensure there are no payment issues, overseas customers or new customers may be required to provide a deposit or full payment before the order is delivered to the customer. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was not actively marketing the Smart Mirror products and existing inventory was expensed as of December 31, 2023.

Sales reductions for anticipated discounts, allowances and promotional coupons are recognized during the period the related revenue is recorded. The discounts, allowances and promotional coupons amounted to approximately $840 and $15,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Warranties

As of September 30, 2024, the Company is not marketing or selling any products, but is focused on developing the Connected Chef as a potential new product and, as an alternative approach, acquiring or developing a new business line. Efforts to develop the Connected Chef as a new product line had not succeeded as of September 30, 2024.

For the LED product line, the Company provided the end user with limited rights of return as a consumer assurance warranty on all products sold, stipulating that the product will function properly for the warranty period. The warranty period for all products is one year from the date of consumer purchase.

Certain retail customers may receive an off invoice-based discount such as a defective/warranty allowance, that will automatically reduce the unit selling price at the time the order is invoiced. This allowance will be used by the retail customer to defray the cost of any returned units from consumers and therefore negate the need to ship defective units back to the Company. Such allowances are charged to cost of sales at the time the order is invoiced. For those customers that do not receive a discount off-invoice, the Company recognizes a charge to cost of sales for anticipated non-conforming returns based upon an analysis of historical product warranty claims and other relevant data.

For the online direct to customer sales of the Smart Mirror, the product had a One Year Limited Warranty. There have been no online sales of the Smart Mirror during the third quarter. The liquidation sale of the remaining Smart Mirrors were sold “as is” and accordingly no warranties apply.

We evaluate our warranty reserves based on various factors including historical warranty claims assumptions about frequency of warranty claims, and assumptions about the frequency of product failures derived from our reliability estimates. Actual product failure rates that materially differ from our estimates could have a significant impact on our operating results. Product warranty reserves are reviewed each quarter and recognized at the time we recognize revenue. The Company accrued warranty liability of $0 as of September 30, 2024 and $1,288 as of December 31, 2023.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing costs, including advertising, public relations, and trade show expenses, are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $17,403 and $66,144 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Due to declining revenues, and the end of the LED product line as a revenue source, coupled with ending efforts to promote the Smart Mirror in 2024, the Company reduced advertising and promotion expenses in 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the only marketing efforts by the Company have been the Company’s Chief Executive Officer seeking potential funding and pre-production purchasers of the Connected Chef.

Product Development

All research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, product development expenses were $4,268 and $76,454, respectively. Expenses in 2023 were related to the development of the Connected Chef, expanding the Connected Surfaces product portfolio.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

The following table summarizes the components of accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively:

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and certain other jurisdictions.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of 740 Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the relaxed tax laws and regulations and require significant judgement to apply. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities generally for a period of 3 years from the later of each return due date or date filed. If the Company were to subsequently record an unrecognized tax benefit, associated penalties and tax related interest expense would be recorded as a component of income tax expense.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation- Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expenses over the requisite service periods in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 718, the Company adopted the straight-line single option method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $0.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition, periodic impairment tests, product warranty obligations, valuation of inventories, tax related contingencies, valuation of stock-based compensation, other contingencies and litigation, among others. The Company generally bases its estimates on historical experience, agreed obligations, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. However, circumstances could change, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This ASU sets forth a current expected credit loss model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. In November 2019, the effective date of this ASU was deferred until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, and ASC 326 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic ASC 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. The enhancements under this update require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, require disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the composition of other segment items, require annual disclosures under ASC 280 to be provided in interim periods, clarify use of more than one measure of segment profit or loss by the CODM, require that the title of the CODM be disclosed with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to make decisions, and require that entities with a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by this update and required under ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASC 280 on January 1, 2024, and ASC 280 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic ASC 740) Income Taxes. The ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 will become effective beginning of our 2025 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We do not expect that this guidance will have a material impact upon our financial position and results of operations.

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change.

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

Cash

The Company at times has cash with its financial institution in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC) insurance limits. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions which minimize the risk of loss. To date, the Company has not experienced any such losses. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to its customers, located throughout the United States and their international locations. The Company typically does not require collateral from national retail customers. Credit risk is limited due to the financial strength of the customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographical regions. The Company monitors exposure of credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. Stripe is the company that processes online payments for our e-commerce website. We should receive payment from them within 3 days of the product shipment. If the product is shipped through Amazon online platform, it could take between 20 and 30 days for collection.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

Major Customers

The Company had two customers who comprised 56% and 40%, respectively, of net revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company had one major customer who comprised 78% of net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Major Vendors

The Company had one vendor from which it purchased 94% of merchandise during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company had one major customer who comprised 78% of net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company had operating lease agreements for its principal executive offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida that expired June 30, 2023.

Unsecured Promissory Note

On October 31, 2024, the Company signed an Unsecured Promissory Note (“Note”) evidencing a loan from Coppermine Ventures, LLC, a private Maryland limited liability company based in Baltimore County, Maryland, (“Coppermine”) of $125,914 (“Principal”) to the Company. The Principal is to be used to pay the working capital debts of the Company listed in Exhibit Two to the Note. The Principal accrues interest at a simple annual rate of 7%. Principal and accrued interest thereon is due and payable in a single lump sum due on July 31, 2025, unless occurrence of certain events causes all sums to become due prior to July 31, 2025, including certain events of default. The Note is not secured by collateral or any other secured interest and does not provide for any conversion of debt-to-equity securities or issuance of any securities.

Management Transition Agreement

As an inducement to make the loan evidenced by the Note and to make a financial commitment to fund the essential working capital needs of the Company through March 31, 2025, Company and Coppermine signed the MTA on October 31, 2024.

The “essential working capital needs” are those Company expenses that are necessary to pay to maintain the Company as a reporting company under the 1934 Act, cover the annual fee for the quotation of the Company’s Common Stock on The OTC Markets Group (“OTC”) QB Venture Market and OTC Blue Sky monitoring service through August 2025, retain the acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company, retain outside legal counsel to the Company and maintain Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance coverage.

Under the MTA, the Company agreed to accept the resignation of two (2) incumbent directors and the incumbent Chief Executive Officer upon receipt of designation of Coppermine’s two (2) candidates for appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors and designation of Coppermine’s candidate for appointment as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, which Coppermine candidates would be appointed to their respective positions upon resignation of the two incumbent directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and which appointments would be subject to the Company’s Board of Directors verification that the Coppermine candidates are qualified and eligible to serve in their respective positions with the Company. Coppermine has not designated its candidates as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Under the MTA, Coppermine has until November 30, 2024, or December 31, 2024 if extended by written notice, to designate its candidates for appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors and appointment as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.

As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, no new management members have been appointed by the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q Report contains forward-looking statements that are contained principally in the sections describing our business as well as in “Risk Factors, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained, or incorporated by reference, in this Form 10-Q Report, including, without limitation, those regarding our business strategy, financial position, results of operations, plans, prospects, actions taken or strategies being considered with respect to our liquidity position, valuation and appraisals of our assets and objectives of management for future operations, our ability to weather the impacts of the any pandemic or similar event, financing opportunities, and future cost mitigation and cash conservation efforts and efforts to reduce operating expenses and capital expenditures are forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our latest 2023 Annual Report. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates, “believes, “could, “estimates, “expects, “intends, “may, “plans, “potential, “predicts, “projects, “should, “would and similar expressions (including the negative and variants of such words). Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, a reader of this Form 10-Q Report should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q Report are made as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q Report. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law. Examples of these risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited, to the impact of:

· Company has no product line or operations generating revenues and has relied on loans or advances from its chief executive officer to sustain basic executive operations, which funding is not assured to fund those operations through fiscal year 2024. If Company cannot find outside funding to develop and promote a new product line or acquire a new business line in fiscal 2025, Company may lack sufficient funds to sustain operations.

· Company needs to find third party funding to fund development, marketing and acquisition of inventory for any new product line, and lacks such funding to market and purchase inventory for the Connected Chef, which is the only product ready for production as of September 30, 2024. Since the Company lacks hard assets, has no revenue generating operations, and significant debts, and as the Common Stock has a low market price and limited liquidity, third party funding may not be available to produce and promote a new product line.

· Company may be unable to acquire a new business line or acquire a new business line that is able to fund the overhead necessary to maintain the Company as a public company.

· The financial condition of the Company raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

· The significant debt obligations, while mostly owed to two of the Company’s directors, if not resolved or restructured, may pose a hinderance to developing a profitable new product line or acquisition of a new business line.

· The Company may be unable to restructure or resolve all or most of its debt obligations in any transaction for acquisition of a new business or business line, or to fund production and promotion of any new product line.

· Other risk factors are stated in Item 1A of Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial, or which are unknown as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Risk Factors affecting Efforts to Develop or Acquire a New Business Line

The challenge facing the Company is to acquire a new business line, or to establish a new profitable product line, whether the Connected Chef or another product line, before the cost of marketing and penetrating a new product market company impose unsustainable financial burdens and losses on the Company.

The appointment of the new management members under the MTA has not occurred as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q and there are no assurances that new management members will result in the development of a new business line for the Company or will enhance the ability or capabilities of the Company’s management to develop or acquire a new business line for the Company. The funding under the Note and the financial support of essential corporate overhead expenses of the Company under the MTA, if provided in accordance with the MTA, will allow the Company to continue efforts to develop a new business line. With significant financial support from Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been personally funding essential corporate overhead expenses in 2024, ending after October 2024, funding by Coppermine under the Note and MTA is the sole source of working capital funding for the Company as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

No assurances can be given that any new management members or funding by Coppermine will in fact result in a new business line for the Company or cover all future operating expenses of the Company. The financial commitment under the MTA extends only through the first fiscal quarter of 2025 and, if Coppermine does not provide additional funding after the first fiscal quarter of 2025, or the Company does not develop revenue generating operations prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2025, then the Company will need to obtain a new source of working capital funding for operating expenses after the first fiscal quarter of 2025 in order to sustain operations and efforts to develop a new business line. The Company does not have an alternative source of working capital funding to funding by Coppermine.

Even if the Company locates a new business line to develop or acquire, the Company may lack the funding necessary to consummate the development or acquisition of a new business line. Further, the low market price of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company’s status as a penny stock company, the limited liquidity of the market for the Company’s Common Stock, the status of the Company as a company with no active operations as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q and the costs of and regulatory requirements for consummating an acquisition with a company with no active operations and the limited working capital funding available to the Company are factors adversely affecting the Company’s ability to develop or acquire a new business line.

If the Company does develop or acquire a new business line, that new business line may not generate revenues sufficient to sustain Company’s and new business line’s operations, may fail to achieve profitability, or may fail to attract sufficient funding to sustain or grow operations.

The Company intends to develop or acquire a new business line that is not involved in the production of consumer products that are discretionary purchases for consumers, which was the Company’s prior business line. The shift in focus is due to the low profit margins typically provided by those consumer products; the funding needed for developing, producing, warehousing and marketing those consumer products; the Company’s lack of an effective e-commerce operation and reliance on bulk orders by a limited number of retailers for those consumer products; and vulnerability of those consumer products to changing consumer preferences and retailers’ buying preferences.

General Risk Factors for Investment in Company’s Common Stock.

The Company is a “penny stock” company under Commission rules and the public stock market price for our common stock is impacted by the lack of significant institutional investor and primary market maker support. Investment in our common stock is highly risky and should only be considered by investors who can afford to lose their investment and do not require on demand liquidity. Potential investors should carefully consider risk factors in our SEC filings. The Company’s common stock lacks the primary market maker and institutional investor support to protect the public market from being unpredictable and volatile. Investors may not have liquidity or desired liquidity in our common stock as an investment. With the lack of any revenues and active business line, any investment in the Company’s common stock would be highly risky.

The above examples are not exhaustive and new risks emerge from time to time. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections regarding our present and future business strategies and the environment in which we expect to operate in the future. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change of events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement was based, except as required by law.

Overview of Our Business

Capstone Companies, Inc. (“Company” or “CAPC”) is a public holding company organized under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of consumer inspired products that simplify daily living through technology. Over the past decade, the Company’s various product lines have been distributed globally including consumer markets in Australia, Japan, Korea, North America, South America, and the United Kingdom. The primary operating subsidiary is Capstone Industries, Inc. (“CAPI”), a Florida corporation located at the principal executive offices of the Company. Capstone International Hong Kong, Ltd., or “CIHK”, was established to expand the Company’s product development, engineering, and factory resource capabilities. With the 2021 shift of manufacturing to Thailand from China, the CIHK operation was dormant.

The Company’s focus through 2017 was the integration of LEDs into most commonly used consumer lighting products in today’s home. The LED category has matured and is no longer the innovative “must have” consumer product as in previous years, as such, revenues for the LED product line have declined significantly in 2023. The Connected Surfaces is the Company’s effort to establish business in an emerging segment that is intended for future revenue growth. The Connected Surfaces products did not achieve significant sales in 2023 – either online or through efforts to sell in bulk to brick-and-mortar, “big box” retailers and all inventory was expensed as of December 31, 2023.

The Connected Chef, is a purpose-built kitchen tablet with an accessory platform to accommodate food prep accessories such as a cutting board. The Connected Chef has Google mobile service allowing for pre-installation of specific Google applications including Playstore, voice assistant, and YouTube. The Connected Chef was ready for formal introduction in quarter four of 2023, and the Company has actively marketing the Connected Chef tablet to appliance manufacturers and distributors, but the product has no purchase commitments from retailers as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Due to the lack of orders and funding, the Connected Chef is not in production.

On October 31, 2024, the Company secured a working capital promissory note for $125,914, maturing July 31, 2025 accruing 7% interest per annum. For consideration for the working capital loan, the Company signed a Management Transition Agreement on October 31, 2024. This funding will not be used for promotion or launch of the Connected Chef.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported a $47,000 or 49% increase in net revenue from $96,000 in 2023 to $143,000 in 2024. The increase in revenue period to period is due to a liquidation sale of the Smart Mirrors for $80,000. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $482,000 as compared to $1,215,000 in 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company used in operating activities approximately $125,000 in 2024 and $574,000 in 2023. The decrease in net cash used in operations primarily relates to a decrease in right of use operating lease expense for the non-renewal of the office lease, and decreases in inventory and workforce during 2024 as the company has moved to a remote work environment and decreased overhead costs significantly.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has negative working capital of approximately $3,748,000 and an accumulated deficit of $11,279,000. The Company’s cash balance decreased by approximately $35,000 from $37,000 as of December 31, 2023 to $2,000 as of September 30, 2024. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is actively seeking alternative sources of liquidity, including but not limited to accessing the capital markets, or other alternative financing measures. However, instability in, or tightening of the capital markets, could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets on terms acceptable to us. An economic recession or a slow recovery could adversely affect our business and liquidity.

The Company reviews alternatives to its current business approach, including, without limitation, sale of the public company or merger of the Company with a private operating company and other common strategic alternatives to a company facing business and financial challenges and uncertainties such as ours. Management is closely monitoring its operations, liquidity, and capital resources and is actively working to minimize the current and future impact of this unprecedented situation.

Director and Chief Executive Officer, Stewart Wallach, has funded working capital since 2022 as the Company navigates these challenges. Total working capital note proceeds received as of the date of this filing are $632,500. The

note payable accrues simple interest at a rate of 5 percent per annum, matures November 30, 2024, with the ability for the Company to request a 90-day extension.

Our Current Strategy

The Company’s looking forward strategy is focused on developing or acquiring a new business line that can generate sufficient revenues to sustain the Company’s operations. These efforts will depend on having adequate working capital from funding to establish a new business line or acquire a new business line and adequate cash flow from product sales or the new business line. We may be unable to achieve sufficient working capital when and, in the amounts, required to meet operational needs and overhead or to pursue or establish a new product lines or a new business line. The funding under the Note and MTA will provide working capital for essential working capital needs but will not be sufficient to fund the development or acquisition of a new business line. Other than the funding under the Note and MTA, the Company has not achieved adequate funding as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q report to fund more essential working capital needs and the Company may be unable to achieve sufficient working capital when and, in the amounts, required to meet operational needs and overhead. The lack of adequate, timely and affordable funding may undermine the efforts of the Company to establish a revenue stream from a new business line developed internally or continue operations while seeking to develop or acquire a new business line, and efforts to sustain Company operations.

As a former consumer product company, the Company competed in competitive consumer market channels that could be affected by volatility from a number of general business and economic factors such as, consumer confidence and preferences, employment levels, new technologies, credit availability, costs and barriers of producing products from foreign original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and commodity costs. Demand for the Company’s products was highly dependent on economic drivers such as consumer spending and discretionary income. The Company faced competition from numerous competitors in the consumer product industry, foreign and domestic, and some of those competitors have substantially greater market share, brand recognition, distribution and financial and technical resources than the Company. The Company’s strategy was to develop well designed and made products that appeal to a niche market. When the Company was producing and promoting a product line, the Company relied on the production and engineering resources and technical expertise of its contract manufacturers to compensate for a lack of those resources internally. The lack of working capital hinders the ability of the Company to leverage the development, design and production capabilities of OEMs.

Due to working capital constraints, and results from prior e-commerce marketing efforts, the Company is not investing any funds in e-commerce marketing and promotion efforts.

Reason for Development of Connected Surfaces. While consistently launching successful lighting programs in years prior to 2022, the Company determined that it needed to develop a new product line with greater profit margin potential than LED Lighting and as a replacement revenue generating source. The Company refocused its development and marketing initiatives and is focused on developing the Connected Surfaces products as its primary business line to replace the LED lighting business, which is no longer being actively promoted by the Company. The discontinuance of the LED lighting product line was due to gross margin reductions as a result of increased tariffs.

The Company’s prior product roadmap outlined a plan for the launch at the end of 2024 of the Connected Chef, a kitchen appliance item, which is a purpose-built tablet integrated into a multi-purpose cutting board and designed to safely deliver and access content on mobile and web-based platforms a kitchen utility item. The Company received Google Mobile Service (“GMS”) approval during 2023 which allows the tablet integrated in the Connected Chef to operate the Android Operating System and pre-install Google’s proprietary applications such as Chrome, Drive, Gmail, Playstore, Youtube directly through the Connected Chef tablet (“Google” is a trademark of Google LLC, a subsidiary of Alphabet, Inc., a SEC reporting company). Rather than using and sharing recipes on one’s smartphone in the kitchen, recipes can be looked up directly using the users preferred search engine (like, Chrome). With access to content online with millions of cooking and food related websites and videos as well as tutorials and cooking classes all in one place the Connected chef™ becomes a digital recipe bookshelf. The Connected Chef™ also provides a cleaner and safer appliance in the cooking area. The Connected Chef was designed to become an anchor in the digital kitchen. The design is aimed at tastefully styled and coupled with excellent quality in order to appeal to the discerning eye while maintaining affordability for mainstream use.

The Company believed the Connected Chef program would leverage existing relationships with its traditional retail partners and collectively contribute organic growth for the Company, as well as serving as a basis for partnering with appliance manufacturers and distributors. The ability of the Company to promote any of its Connected Surface products and any new, related “connected” consumer products was dependent on securing adequate, affordable and timely funding from lenders and investors. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q report, the Company has not secured that funding and the Connected Chef is not in production and has no pre-production orders. Efforts to promote and launch the Connected Chef ended in September 2024. The focus of the Company is on a new business line not involving the production and sale of discretionary consumer products. The Company regards the consumer product business line as too capital intensive to be pursued by the Company at this time.

Periodic Strategic Review

Like many companies, the Company conducts periodic strategic reviews where the feasibility of significant corporate transactions are considered, including mergers, asset purchases or sales and diversification or change in business lines. The financial condition of the Company has prompted an enhanced consideration and search for a significant corporate transaction, including, without limitation, a possible merger and acquisition transaction or reorganization to sustain operations or to acquire a new business line that can support company operations. The Company lacks the financial resources of larger companies to withstand adverse, significant and sustained changes in business and financial condition. This vulnerability necessitates an ongoing consideration of alternatives to current operations. Due to the decline in financial performance of the Company since 2021, and the Company being in transition from a declining product line and not yet establishing a profitable product line, as well as the Company having its shares of Common Stock quoted on The OTC Markets Group, Inc. QB Venture Market and being a “penny stock”, the Company may be unable to consummate a significant corporate transaction that sustains operations or creates a new viable product line or business line.

Tariffs. The President Trump administration implemented certain tariffs that directly affected the Company’s competitiveness. While all companies in certain industries are affected equally, the appeal for these products to consumers was negatively impacted when retail prices increased due to higher duty rates. The Company has seen promotional schedules cut back and retailers have requested pricing adjustments that would not be known to them in advance to products being shipped. The Company’s previous business model insulates the Company from paying duties as its retail partners are the importers of record. The obvious unknown is the final impact of tariffs to the landed costs. Accordingly, retailers demonstrated caution in their promotional planning schedules.

Sales and Marketing of Consumer Product Line

We used direct sales by our Chief Executive Officer and sales agents to sell our consumer products, which effort included direct sales aimed to Big Box and home-goods chain retailers. Company’s e-commerce initiatives did not provide significant sales as of the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company has historically promoted its products to retailers and distributors at North American trade shows, such as the Consumer Electronics Show (“CES”) or the International Hardware Show, but also relied on the retail sales channels to advertise its products directly to the end user consumers through various promotional activities.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had 2 major customers.

When we promoted the Connected Surface Smart Mirrors, we utilized social media platforms and online advertising campaigns to further grow the Company’s online presence. In addition to Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn, The Company has launched a You Tube channel to host Smart Mirror videos and established a X account. Our Social Media marketing did not result in any significant sales of products. We were not able to effectively compete in e-commerce and Social Media marketing and sales. The Company has a Social Media presence on the following Social Media platforms, however the Company is not emphasizing Social Media marketing in 2024 due lack of results and lack of funding to pursue active Social Media marketing:

Competitive Conditions for Consumer Product Line

The Company operates in a highly competitive environment, both in the United States and internationally, in the former LED lighting product segment and in the new Connected Surfaces internet of things product segments. The Company competes with large multinationals with global operations as well as numerous other smaller, specialized national or regional competitors who generally focus on narrower markets, products, or particular categories.

Research, Product Development, and Manufacturing Activities

The Company did not engage in research, product development or manufacturing in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.

For the consumer products previously produced by the Company, the Company’s research and development operations were based in Florida and Thailand and the design and engineering of many of the Company’s products, involved the collaboration from its third-party manufacturing partners, software developers and Capstone U.S. engineering advisers. The Company outsourced the manufacture and assembly of our consumer products to a select group of OEM manufacturers overseas. Our research and development focus typically and in 2023 included efforts to:

●

Develop products with increasing technology and functionality with enhanced quality and performance, and at a very competitive cost; and

●

Solidify new manufacturing relationships with contract manufacturers in Thailand.

The Company established strict engineering specifications and product testing protocols with the Company’s contract manufacturers and ensure that their factories adhere to all Regional Labor and Social Compliance Laws. These contract manufacturers purchased components that we specified and provided the necessary facilities and labor to manufacture our products. We leveraged the strength of the contract manufacturers and allocated the manufacturing of specific products to the contract manufacturer best suited to the task. Quality control and product testing was conducted at the contract manufacturers facility and at their 3^rd party testing laboratories overseas.

CAPI used its proprietary manufacturing expertise by maintaining control over all outsourced production and critical production molds. To ensure the quality and consistency of the Company’s products manufactured overseas, CAPI used globally recognized certified testing laboratories such as United Laboratories (UL) or Intertek (ETL) to ensure all products were designed and tested to adhere to each country’s individual regulatory standards. The Company also hired quality control inspectors who examine and test products to CAPI’s specification(s) before shipments are released.

Raw Materials used for Consumer Products

For consumer products previously produced, the principal raw materials currently used by CAPI were sourced in Thailand and China, as the Company orders product exclusively through contract manufacturers in the region. These contract manufacturers purchase components based on the Company’s specifications and provided the necessary facilities and labor to manufacture the Company’s products. Capstone allocated the production of specific products to the contract manufacturer the Company believed is more experienced to produce the specific product and whose facility is located in the country that most benefits from the U.S. Tariff regulations. To ensure the consistent quality of Capstone’s products, quality control procedures were incorporated at each stage of the manufacturing process, ranging from the inspection of raw materials through production and delivery to the customer. These procedures were in addition to the manufacturers internal quality control procedures and performed by Quality Assurance personnel.

●	Raw Materials – Components and supplies are subject to sample inspections upon arrival at the contract manufacturer, to ensure the correct specified components are being used in production.

●	Work in Process – Our quality control inspectors conduct quality control tests at different points during the product stages of our manufacturing process to ensure that quality integrity is maintained.

●	Finished Goods – Our inspectors perform tests on finished and packaged products to assess product safety, integrity and package compliance.

Raw materials used in manufacturing include plastic resin, copper, led bulbs, batteries, and corrugated paper. Prices of materials have remained competitive in the last year. The Company believes that adequate supplies of raw materials required for its operations are available at the present time. The Company cannot predict the future availability or prices of such materials. These raw materials are generally available from a number of different sources, and the prices of those raw materials are susceptible to currency fluctuations and price fluctuations due to transportation, government regulations, price controls, economic climate, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Section 1502 of Title XV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires SEC-reporting companies to disclose annually whether any conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company has no products in production.

Distribution and Fulfillment

Since January 2015, the Company has outsourced its U.S. domestic warehousing and distribution needs to a third-party warehousing facility situated in Anaheim, California. The warehouse operator provided full inventory storage, packaging and logistics services including direct to store and direct to consumer shipping capabilities that electronically interface to our existing operations software. The warehouse operator provides full ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), Inventory Control and Warehouse Management Systems.

For the e-commerce and direct to consumer marketplace, the Company developed a new website with full shopping cart capabilities. The Company had negotiated contracts for secured credit card processing capability, state sales tax compliance services and order fulfillment and logistics services, at a very competitive rate. These efforts did not result in any significant product sales during 2024.

Information Technology

The efficient operation of our corporate activities is dependent on our information technology systems. We rely on those systems to manage our daily operations, and maintain our financial and accounting records. When the Company was making and selling consumer products, and in the normal course of business, we received information regarding customers, associates, and vendors. Since we do not collect significant amounts of valuable personal data or sensitive business data from others, our internal computer systems are under a light to moderate level of risk from hackers or other individuals with malicious intent to gain unauthorized access to our computer systems. Cyberattacks are growing in number and sophistication and are an ongoing threat to business computer systems, which are used to operate the business on a day to day basis. Our computer systems could be vulnerable to security breaches, computer viruses, or other events. The failure of our information technology systems, our inability to successfully maintain our information or any compromise of the integrity or security of the data we generate from our systems or an event resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or degradation of services provided by critical business systems, whether by us directly or our third-party service providers, could adversely affect our business operations, sales, reputation with current and potential customers, associates or vendors, results of operations, product development and make us unable or limit our ability to respond to customers’ demands.

We have incorporated into our data network various on and off-site data backup processes which should allow us to mitigate any data loss events, however our information technology systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from:

●	hurricanes, fire, flood and other natural disasters

●	power outage

●	internet, computer system, telecommunications or data network failure Hacking as well as malware, computer viruses, ransomware and similar malicious software code

●	Cybersecurity. The Company did not experience any cybersecurity incidents in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Environmental Regulations

We believe that the Company is in compliance with environmental protection regulations and will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2023 Annual Report.

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations.

Net Revenues

Revenue was derived from sales of our Connected Surfaces Smart Mirrors. Before 2024, the Company derived revenue from consumer home LED lighting for both indoor and outdoor applications while the Smart Mirrors were sold directly to consumers via e-commerce efforts. We recognized revenue upon shipment of the order to the customer when all performance obligations have been completed and title had transferred to the customer and in accordance with the respective sale’s contractual arrangements. Each contract on acceptance had a fixed unit price. Our sales were to the U.S. market which in 2024 represented 100% of revenues and we expected to the U.S Market to be the major source of revenue for the Company. Net revenue also includes the cost of instant rebate coupons, promotional coupons, and product support allowances provided to retailers to promote certain products. All of our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

Cost of Goods Sold

With respect to the Connected Surface product line, our cost of goods sold consisted primarily of purchased products from contract manufacturers and when applicable associated duties and inbound freight. In addition, our cost of goods sold also includes reserves for potential warranty claims and freight allowances. On December 31, 2023, we expensed for obsolescence all remaining Smart Mirror inventory one hand. As a result, the $86,289 of revenues derived from the e-commerce sales and the liquidation sale of the remaining inventory of Smart Mirrors for the nine months ending September 30, 2024 did not have cost of goods sold associated with them.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit was affected by a variety of factors, including average sales price for our products, product mix, promotional allowances, our ability to reduce product costs and fluctuations in the cost of our purchased components.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include sales and marketing expenses, consisting of sales representative’s commissions, advertising expense and costs related to employee’s compensation. In addition, operating expense include charges relating to product development, office and warehousing, accounting, legal, insurance and stock-based compensation.

Directors and Officers Insurance

The Company currently has Directors and Officers liability insurance, and the Company believes the coverage is adequate to cover likely liabilities under such a policy.

Exchange Rates

We sell all of our products in U.S. dollars and pay for all of our manufacturing costs in U.S. dollars.

During 2024 the average exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and Chinese Yuan have been relatively stable approximately RMB 7.00 to U.S. $1.00.

The average exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and Thai Baht has been relatively stable at approximately Baht 35.00 to U.S. $1.00.

Operating expenses in Hong Kong are historically paid in either Hong Kong dollars or U.S. dollars. There were no expenses for Hong Kong operations during the first half of 2024.

While exchange rates have been stable for several years, we cannot assure you that the exchange rate between the United States, Hong Kong, Chinese and Thailand currencies will continue to be stable and exchange rate fluctuations may have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Country Risks: Changes in foreign, cultural, political, and financial market conditions could impair the Company’s international manufacturing operations and financial performance.

The Company’s manufacturing of consumer products was conducted in China and Thailand. Consequently, when products were being produced, the Company was subject to a number of significant risks associated with manufacturing in overseas, including:

●	The possibility of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, or price controls.

●	Adverse changes in local investment or exchange control regulations.

●	Political or economic instability, government nationalization of business or industries, government corruption, and civil unrest.

●	Legal and regulatory constraints.

●	Tariffs and other trade barriers, including trade disputes between the U.S. and China.

●	Political or military conflict between the U.S. and China, or between U.S. and North Korea, resulting in adverse or restricted access by U.S.-based companies to Chinese manufacturing and markets.

Currency: Currency fluctuations could significantly increase our expenses during periods when we produced and sold consumer products and could affect the results of operations, especially where the currency is subject to intense political and other outside pressures.

Interest Rate Risk: The Company does not have significant interest rate risk during the nine month period ended September 30, 2024. All outstanding loans have been disclosed including the agreed interest rates.

Credit Risk: The Company has not experienced significant credit risk. The e-commerce business requires customer credit approval prior to shipment and the payment is received by the Company between 5 and 20 days after shipment depending on which ordering platform is used by the consumer. To date we have not experienced any credit risk issues, but we will closely monitor the process to assess that this trend continues.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Because the Company is a smaller reporting company, this Form 10-Q Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) were effective as of September 30, 2024, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

There are no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024, the period covered by this report, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer attached as Exhibits 31 and 32 and to this Form 10-Q Report include information concerning our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of internal control are met. Further, the design of internal control must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the control must be considered relative to their costs. While our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of their effectiveness, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company, have been detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is not a party to any other pending or threatened legal proceedings and, to the best our knowledge, no such action by or against us has been threatened. From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur in such routine lawsuits, we believe that the final disposition of such routine lawsuits will not have material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or status as a going concern.

Other Legal Matters. To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors, officers, or owners of record of more than five percent (5%) of the securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us in reference to pending litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report (as amended or revised by the Risk Factors set forth in this Form 10-Q reflecting the worsening financial condition of the Company in 2024). You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The Company has insufficient revenues to support its basic operating overhead and relies on funding from a director and senior officer to pay basic operating overhead. The Company may be unable to sustain operations through 2024 without continued financial support from the directors and senior officer or investment or funding from a third party. There can be no assurance that the Company can obtain sufficient funding from current funding sources or any new funding sources to sustain operations through 2024. The financial difficulties of the Company severely hamper the pursuit of Connected Surface products and any new business lines and new products.

While the Note and MTA provided funding of essential working capital needs, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if Coppermine or another source does not provide funding past March 31, 2025, of which an ongoing concern may hinder our ability to obtain further financing. Our public auditor’s report for the 2023 Annual Report stated that the Company has incurred operating losses, has incurred negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit, and these and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

If funding sources are not available or are inadequate or unwilling to fund operations beyond funding under the Note and MTA, or any new business line is not capable of generating sustainable revenues in the future, we will be required to reduce operating costs even further from existing reductions in operating costs, which could further jeopardize any future strategic initiatives and business plans. Furthermore, uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern may hinder our ability to obtain future financing. Continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern are dependent on our ability to obtain additional funding in the near future, whether to supplement, or provide funding after using, the funding under the Note and MTA, and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such funding will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms.

There may be risks that are not presently material or known and not discussed in this Form 10-Q or other SEC filings. The Company’s status as a company with no active operations as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q and the doubt about the viability of the Company as a going concern creates substantial about the ability of the Company to develop or acquire a new business line or sustain operations beyond funding under the Note and MTA. There are also risks within the economy, the industry, and the capital markets that could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to develop or acquire a new business, including those associated with an economic recession, inflation, a global economic slowdown, political instability, war, government regulation (including tax regulation), employee attraction and retention and funding working capital needs for a new business line. These factors affect businesses generally, including the Company and, as a result, are not discussed in detail, but are applicable to the Company. As a “penny stock” without primary market maker support, and due to the decline in financial performance of the Company in 2022, 2023 and continuing into 2024, an investment in our common stock involves a very high degree of risk. If any of the following risks actually occurs or continues to impact our business, our business, financial condition or results of operations could worsen. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page 18 above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this Form 10-Q Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The Company did not issue any unregistered securities in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

The Company has no information to disclose that was required to be in a report on Form 8-K during the period covered by this report but was not reported. There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors or make shareholder proposals.
