US LIGHTING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2024

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

US Lighting Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a parent company comprised of four subsidiaries - Cortes Campers, LLC, a brand of high-end molded fiberglass campers, Futuro Houses, LLC, which is focused on design and sales of molded fiberglass homes, Fusion X Marine, LLC, a high-performance boat designer, and MIG Marine Corporation, a composite manufacturing company that produces proprietary molded fiberglass products for our other business lines.

 

On January 11, 2021, we formed Cortes Campers to operate our new brand of innovative travel trailers. During the second part of 2021, we invested heavily in research and development as well as production planning for the 17-foot camper and began selling campers in early 2022.

 

The Company created a new wholly owned subsidiary called Fusion X Marine, LLC on April 12, 2021, domiciled in Wyoming, to sell boats and other related products to the recreational marine market. The subsidiary has had no sales as of the date of this report.

 

On January 12, 2022, we formed Futuro Houses, LLC, a Wyoming company, to design, market and distribute molded fiberglass homes. Throughout 2022, Futuro Houses engaged in engineering and development of our first “UFO” themed home model inspired by the original Futuro house designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen.

 

On August 5, 2022, we acquired MIG Marine Corporation, a fiberglass manufacturing company founded in 2003. With the acquisition of Mig Marine, we were able to streamline our manufacturing processes, improve production cycles and scale to meet the demand of Cortes Campers generated order back-log.

 

On October 6, 2023, we formed Fusion X Automotive, LLC to design, manufacture and distribute automotive aftermarket composite products, such as automotive body parts and light versions of sough-after vehicle replacement components. We have been in the design and R&D stage for this product line throughout the first quarter of 2024.

 

We plan to expand our manufacturing footprint, enhance production techniques, and develop more products in the RV, marine, and composite housing sectors. Current R&D efforts are directed towards future tow-behind camper models under the Cortes Campers brand as well as prefabricated housing segment.

 

As of March 31, 2024, our revenue was driven by shipments of fiberglass campers marketed under Cortes Campers.

 

The Company is a Florida corporation founded in 2003. We are headquartered in Euclid, Ohio.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

5

 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no cash equivalents.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cortes Campers, LLC, Fusion X Marine, LLC, Futuro Houses, LLC, Fusion X Automotive, LLC, and Mig Marine Corp. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period.

 

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, there are no shares of common stock issuable under convertible note agreements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied.

 

Unit Sales

 

The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated through the sale of molded fiberglass campers and homes (units). Unit sales are recognized at a point-in-time when the performance obligation is satisfied and control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the unit is shipped to or picked-up from our facility by the customer. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. Unit payment terms include deposits payable prior to delivery or on terms of 60 days or less post-delivery.

 

Net sales include shipping and handling charges billed directly to customers. Any shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control are treated as fulfillment cost that are accrued when control is transferred. We also have made an accounting policy election to exclude from revenue sales and usage-based taxes collected.

 

Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.

 

6

 

 

Dealer Arrangement Fees

 

Beginning in 2023, the Company began to enter into certain arrangements with dealers providing exclusive selling rights for geographic territories. The arrangements typically include provisions that in exchange for the territory rights, dealers pay an initial up-front one-time only fee. Subject to meeting minimum unit sale levels on an annual basis, the arrangement automatically renews for an additional year with no additional fee.

  

The intellectual property subject to the exclusive territory rights is symbolic intellectual property as it does not have significant standalone functionality, and substantially all of the utility is derived from its association with the Company’s past or ongoing activities. The dealer arrangements are highly interrelated with the Company’s performance obligations to produce future units, further develop the brand and provide training and support to dealers and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes dealer territory fees over the expected term of the arrangement which includes estimated annual renewal periods. Changes in the estimate of renewal periods are accounted for prospectively from the period of the change in estimate by adjusting the remaining unrecognized revenue over the remaining estimated term. As these fees are typically received in cash at or near the execution of the arrangement, the cash received is initially recorded as a contract liability in deferred revenue until recognized as revenue over time.

 

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY

 

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

 

For the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a net loss of $438,954 and cash used in operating activities was $92,398. As the Company further develops its products and markets, the Company may need to raise additional capital or borrow additional funds to support increasing levels of working capital until it is able to generate sufficient revenues.

 

Management plans to generate increasing revenues and as needed raise additional capital or borrow additional funds in order to provide liquidity and fund increasing levels of working capital to continue operations as a going concern. However, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment consists of the following at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

NOTE 5 – ACCRUED PAYROLL TO OFFICER

 

Beginning in January 2018, the Company’s former CEO voluntarily elected to defer payment of his employment compensation. The balance of the compensation owed to the Company’s former CEO was $125,167 as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. Deferral of wages ended on August 9, 2021, when the Company’s former CEO resigned from that position.

 

NOTE 6 – LOANS PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES

 

Loans payable to related parties consists of the following at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

On August 5, 2022, the Company acquired Mig Marine from Paul Spivak, for a delayed cash deposit payment of $638,333 and a 6.25% interest bearing seller note in the amount of $6,195,000. The balance outstanding as of December 31, 2022 includes accrued interest of $126,926. During 2023 an agreement was executed resulting in the forgiveness of the accrued interest as of December 31, 2022 and no interest accrual during 2023. As Paul Spivak is a related party and a significant shareholder of the Company, the forgiveness of the accrued interest was treated as an in-substance capital contribution in 2023. In March 2024, the Company executed another cancellation of debt agreement with Paul Spivak. Pursuant to that agreement, Spivak cancelled and forgave the $638,333 deposit and $1,195,000 of the principal of the note effective December 31, 2023. In addition, no interest will accrue on the remaining note in 2024 and the final payment of the note is due December 1, 2029. The agreement effective December 31, 2023, was also treated as an in-substance capital contribution in 2023.  $5,000,000   $5,000,000 
Loans payable to Paul Spivak issued in at various dates in 2023 and 2024. The loans are at zero percent interest. Paul Spivak has agreed to defer any payments through 2025.   364,539    153,167

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company had available Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income. The federal amount available is approximately $6,000,000. The carryforwards expire in various amounts through 2042. Given the Company’s history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carryforwards. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax assets for this benefit. Section 382 generally limits the use of NOLs and credits following an ownership change, which occurs when one or more 5 percent shareholders increase their ownership, in aggregate, by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such shareholders at any time during the “testing period” (generally three years).

On May 13, 2024, the Company and 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, modified the terms of the note. Monthly payments of principal and interest have been reduced to $7,500 and maturity date extended to December 30, 2024.

Overview

 

In this quarterly report we refer to US Lighting Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as USLG, the company, we and our, unless the context requires otherwise.

 

We are an innovative composite manufacturer utilizing advanced fiberglass technologies in growth sectors such as high-end recreational vehicles (RVs), prefabricated off-grid houses, and high-performance powerboats. We derive expertise and inspiration from the marine industry, where the harshest conditions are expected and met with superior engineering and the latest in composite technology. Molded fiberglass products are exceptionally strong, lightweight and durable. Composite materials are also corrosion resistant and provide efficient insulation, making them attractive for both outdoor enthusiasts and residential housing needs. Molded construction allows for the creation of irregular, unusual or circular objects, which permits the innovative shapes and features of our products. In 2023, our revenue was driven by shipments of fiberglass campers marketed under Cortes Campers brand.

 

Cortes Campers, LLC designs and manufactures high-end molded fiberglass RV travel trailers and campers designed for comfort, style and durability. We utilize superior quality materials and fiberglass construction resulting in significantly stronger, more durable and lighter weight products. Cortes Campers’ first product is the Cortes 17, a 17-foot long single axle tow-behind molded fiberglass camper. In the second quarter of 2023, we introduced a new floorplan, Cortes 16, which has expanded sleeping capacity with a king size bed. We are currently developing additional models, including larger, family-oriented all composite 22 and 27-foot travel trailers. Cortes Campers has established a network of professional RV dealerships to market and distribute its products. As of March 31, 2024, Cortes Campers are available through 36 dealer locations in US and Canada.

Recognizing that we could utilize many of the same technologies and manufacturing processes we have perfected for the Cortes Campers line of RVs to make small, prefabricated homes, we began exploring the market in early 2022. The international tiny-house movement has gained new relevance in the recent years as the quest for off-grid, rugged, prefabricated homes has entered the mainstream and was further fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic. We named our modular housing line Futuro Houses after the Futuro Pod, the iconic “UFO house” designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, of which fewer than one hundred were built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Our first home design is an update of the original Futuro utilizing modular construction and fiberglass for structural integrity and energy efficiency and designed to address modern residential requirements in a 600-square-foot living space. The Futuro can also serve as a commercial structure as it is currently available as a “shell kit” to be outfitted by consumers to meet their needs. We exhibited the Futuro house at the Cleveland Home & Remodeling Expo in March 2023, signed our first distributor in New York, and sold our first home in May 2023. Since launching Futuro Houses we have added two additional tiny house designs, the FH200 and FH300, ranging from more traditional to futuristic, and from 200 to 300 square feet.

 

In early 2021, we formed Fusion X Marine, LLC to design, manufacture and distribute high-performance speed boats utilizing advanced fiberglass composites. Our first boat model is the X-15, a miniature speed boat designed for rental sites and excursions, as well as to serve as an entry-level boat for first time buyers. We began producing the X-15 in the fourth quarter of 2023 and made our first deliveries in the first quarter of 2024. The similarly styled X-27 is a 27-foot fiberglass V-hull speedboat and is designed for speed and superior maneuverability. The tooling and molds for the X-27 are currently under development and the model is not yet available for pre-orders.

 

On October 6, 2023, we formed Fusion X Automotive, LLC to design, manufacture and distribute automotive aftermarket composite products, such as automotive body parts and light versions of sough-after vehicle replacement components. We have been in the design and R&D stage for this product line throughout the fourth quarter of 2023. Fusion X Automotive has not yet sold any product, but we exhibited at the annual PRI convention in Indianapolis in December 2023, showcasing our upcoming products, and expect this product line to contribute to our overall revenue in 2024.

 

We plan to expand our manufacturing footprint, enhance production techniques, and develop more products in the RV, marine and composite housing sectors. Our current R&D efforts are focused on future tow-behind camper models under Cortes Campers brand.

 

Our headquarters, manufacturing and research and development facilities are located at 1148 East 222nd Street, Euclid, Ohio, 44117. Our website is www.USLightingGroup.com.

 

Recent Events

 

Corporate Structure and History

 

US Lighting Group, Inc. is a holding company with five operating subsidiaries: Cortes Campers, LLC, high-end campers; Futuro Houses, LLC, molded fiberglass homes; Fusion X Marine, LLC, high-performance boats; Fusion X Automotive, LLC, automotive aftermarket composite products; and MIGMarine Corporation, composite manufacturing for our business lines.

 

The company was originally incorporated in the State of Florida on October 17, 2003, under the name Luxurious Travel Corp. Initially the company developed hotel booking software, but subsequently exited that business. On July 13, 2016, we acquired a company named US Lighting Group, Inc. (founded in 2013) and changed our corporate name to US Lighting Group, Inc. on August 9, 2016. At the time, the company designed and manufactured commercial LED lighting. Ultimately, we decided to exit the LED lighting market, which was being negatively impacted by inexpensive import products, and enter new business lines focused on recreational products manufactured from advanced composite materials.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Because USLG is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission we are not required to provide additional market risk disclosure.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under the Securities Exchange Act, are controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management team, with the participation of our chief executive officer, Anthony R. Corpora, and chief financial officer, Michael A. Coates, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, Messrs. Corpora and Coates concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our senior management team is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, defined under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO, and effected by our board, senior management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We continue to review our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act that occurred during our first quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

US Lighting Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a parent company comprised of four subsidiaries - Cortes Campers, LLC, a brand of high-end molded fiberglass campers, Futuro Houses, LLC, which is focused on design and sales of molded fiberglass homes, Fusion X Marine, LLC, a high-performance boat designer, and MIG Marine Corporation, a composite manufacturing company that produces proprietary molded fiberglass products for our other business lines.

 

On January 11, 2021, we formed Cortes Campers to operate our new brand of innovative travel trailers. During the second part of 2021, we invested heavily in research and development as well as production planning for the 17-foot camper and began selling campers in early 2022.

 

The Company created a new wholly owned subsidiary called Fusion X Marine, LLC on April 12, 2021, domiciled in Wyoming, to sell boats and other related products to the recreational marine market. The subsidiary has had no sales as of the date of this report.

 

On January 12, 2022, we formed Futuro Houses, LLC, a Wyoming company, to design, market and distribute molded fiberglass homes. Throughout 2022, Futuro Houses engaged in engineering and development of our first “UFO” themed home model inspired by the original Futuro house designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen.

 

On August 5, 2022, we acquired MIG Marine Corporation, a fiberglass manufacturing company founded in 2003. With the acquisition of Mig Marine, we were able to streamline our manufacturing processes, improve production cycles and scale to meet the demand of Cortes Campers generated order back-log.

 

On October 6, 2023, we formed Fusion X Automotive, LLC to design, manufacture and distribute automotive aftermarket composite products, such as automotive body parts and light versions of sough-after vehicle replacement components. We have been in the design and R&D stage for this product line throughout the first quarter of 2024.

 

We plan to expand our manufacturing footprint, enhance production techniques, and develop more products in the RV, marine, and composite housing sectors. Current R&D efforts are directed towards future tow-behind camper models under the Cortes Campers brand as well as prefabricated housing segment.

 

As of March 31, 2024, our revenue was driven by shipments of fiberglass campers marketed under Cortes Campers.

 

The Company is a Florida corporation founded in 2003. We are headquartered in Euclid, Ohio.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 3 Months Ended
Mar. 31, 2024
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no cash equivalents.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cortes Campers, LLC, Fusion X Marine, LLC, Futuro Houses, LLC, Fusion X Automotive, LLC, and Mig Marine Corp. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period.

 

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, there are no shares of common stock issuable under convertible note agreements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied.

 

Unit Sales

 

The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated through the sale of molded fiberglass campers and homes (units). Unit sales are recognized at a point-in-time when the performance obligation is satisfied and control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the unit is shipped to or picked-up from our facility by the customer. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. Unit payment terms include deposits payable prior to delivery or on terms of 60 days or less post-delivery.

 

Net sales include shipping and handling charges billed directly to customers. Any shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control are treated as fulfillment cost that are accrued when control is transferred. We also have made an accounting policy election to exclude from revenue sales and usage-based taxes collected.

 

Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.

 

Dealer Arrangement Fees

 

Beginning in 2023, the Company began to enter into certain arrangements with dealers providing exclusive selling rights for geographic territories. The arrangements typically include provisions that in exchange for the territory rights, dealers pay an initial up-front one-time only fee. Subject to meeting minimum unit sale levels on an annual basis, the arrangement automatically renews for an additional year with no additional fee.

  

The intellectual property subject to the exclusive territory rights is symbolic intellectual property as it does not have significant standalone functionality, and substantially all of the utility is derived from its association with the Company’s past or ongoing activities. The dealer arrangements are highly interrelated with the Company’s performance obligations to produce future units, further develop the brand and provide training and support to dealers and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes dealer territory fees over the expected term of the arrangement which includes estimated annual renewal periods. Changes in the estimate of renewal periods are accounted for prospectively from the period of the change in estimate by adjusting the remaining unrecognized revenue over the remaining estimated term. As these fees are typically received in cash at or near the execution of the arrangement, the cash received is initially recorded as a contract liability in deferred revenue until recognized as revenue over time.

Liquidity [Abstract]  
LIQUIDITY

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY

 

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

 

For the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a net loss of $438,954 and cash used in operating activities was $92,398. As the Company further develops its products and markets, the Company may need to raise additional capital or borrow additional funds to support increasing levels of working capital until it is able to generate sufficient revenues.

 

Management plans to generate increasing revenues and as needed raise additional capital or borrow additional funds in order to provide liquidity and fund increasing levels of working capital to continue operations as a going concern. However, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On August 5, 2022, the Company acquired Mig Marine from Paul Spivak, for a delayed cash deposit payment of $638,333 and a 6.25% interest bearing seller note in the amount of $6,195,000. The balance outstanding as of December 31, 2022 includes accrued interest of $126,926. During 2023 an agreement was executed resulting in the forgiveness of the accrued interest as of December 31, 2022 and no interest accrual during 2023. As Paul Spivak is a related party and a significant shareholder of the Company, the forgiveness of the accrued interest was treated as an in-substance capital contribution in 2023. In March 2024, the Company executed another cancellation of debt agreement with Paul Spivak. Pursuant to that agreement, Spivak cancelled and forgave the $638,333 deposit and $1,195,000 of the principal of the note effective December 31, 2023. In addition, no interest will accrue on the remaining note in 2024 and the final payment of the note is due December 1, 2029. The agreement effective December 31, 2023, was also treated as an in-substance capital contribution in 2023.  $5,000,000   $5,000,000

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company had available Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income. The federal amount available is approximately $6,000,000. The carryforwards expire in various amounts through 2042. Given the Company’s history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carryforwards. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax assets for this benefit. Section 382 generally limits the use of NOLs and credits following an ownership change, which occurs when one or more 5 percent shareholders increase their ownership, in aggregate, by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such shareholders at any time during the “testing period” (generally three years).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash.
Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no cash equivalents.
Basis of Consolidation

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Cortes Campers, LLC, Fusion X Marine, LLC, Futuro Houses, LLC, Fusion X Automotive, LLC, and Mig Marine Corp. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period.

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, there are no shares of common stock issuable under convertible note agreements.
Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied.

Unit Sales

The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated through the sale of molded fiberglass campers and homes (units). Unit sales are recognized at a point-in-time when the performance obligation is satisfied and control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the unit is shipped to or picked-up from our facility by the customer. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. Unit payment terms include deposits payable prior to delivery or on terms of 60 days or less post-delivery.

Net sales include shipping and handling charges billed directly to customers. Any shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control are treated as fulfillment cost that are accrued when control is transferred. We also have made an accounting policy election to exclude from revenue sales and usage-based taxes collected.

Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.

 

Dealer Arrangement Fees

Beginning in 2023, the Company began to enter into certain arrangements with dealers providing exclusive selling rights for geographic territories. The arrangements typically include provisions that in exchange for the territory rights, dealers pay an initial up-front one-time only fee. Subject to meeting minimum unit sale levels on an annual basis, the arrangement automatically renews for an additional year with no additional fee.

The intellectual property subject to the exclusive territory rights is symbolic intellectual property as it does not have significant standalone functionality, and substantially all of the utility is derived from its association with the Company’s past or ongoing activities. The dealer arrangements are highly interrelated with the Company’s performance obligations to produce future units, further develop the brand and provide training and support to dealers and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation.

The Company recognizes dealer territory fees over the expected term of the arrangement which includes estimated annual renewal periods. Changes in the estimate of renewal periods are accounted for prospectively from the period of the change in estimate by adjusting the remaining unrecognized revenue over the remaining estimated term. As these fees are typically received in cash at or near the execution of the arrangement, the cash received is initially recorded as a contract liability in deferred revenue until recognized as revenue over time.

During 2023 an agreement was executed resulting in the forgiveness of the accrued interest as of December 31, 2022 and no interest accrual during 2023.

Pursuant to that agreement, Spivak cancelled and forgave the $638,333 deposit and $1,195,000 of the principal of the note effective December 31, 2023. In addition, no interest will accrue on the remaining note in 2024 and the final payment of the note is due December 1, 2029.
