2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with US GAAP, and are expressed in United States dollars. These statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries First Endeavor Holdings, Inc. (“FEH”), Veteran Hemp Co (“Veteran”), and its majority owned subsidiary Blackbox Technologies and Systems (“Blackbox”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts.

The Company provides credit to its clients in the form of payment terms. The Company limits its credit risk by performing credit evaluations of its clients and maintaining a reserve, if deemed necessary, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations include the review of a client’s outstanding balances with consideration towards such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions and other factors. Based on such evaluations, the Company determined there was no need for a reserve at the end of September 30, 2022. The total accounts receivable was $620 at September 30, 2022 and $620 as of December 31, 2021

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The total value of property and equipment at September 30, 2022 is $4,827. and $6,313 at December 31, 2021

	Asset Purchase Price		Accumulated Depreciation
Furniture and Fixtures 5-7 Years	$	6,030	$	(2,110	)
Computer Equipment and Software 3-5 Years		2,331		(1,424	)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return. The Company excludes sales tax collected and remitted to various states from sales and cost of sales.

Cash, Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Cash totaled $128,629 and $174,477 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company is exposed to a concentration of credit risk with respect to its cash deposits. The Company places cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions in the United States. At times, cash balances held in financial institutions may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes the financial institutions are financially strong and the risk of loss is minimal. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to the related risks and does not believe its exposure to such risks is more than normal.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements for share based payments using the fair value method. The fair value of stock options granted to directors and employees is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees is measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Share-based compensation is expensed with a corresponding increase to share capital. Upon the exercise of the stock options, the consideration paid is recorded as an increase in share capital.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS figures are equal to those of Basic EPS for each period since the Company had no securities outstanding during periods in which the Company generated net income that were potentially dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements will have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of cannabis merchandise and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Value at December 31, 2021 was $0. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A portion of inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory. As at December 31, 2021, the Company determined that the inventory on hand be impaired as their focus remains on cultivation and sale of their own product.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The company purchased $2,331 of assets and acquired $6,030 through its acquisitions in 2020. The total value of property and equipment at December 31, 2021 is $6,313 and $8,361 at December 31, 2020.

	Asset Purchase Price		Accumulated Depreciation
Furniture and Fixtures 5-7 Years	$	6,030	$	(1,206	)
Computer Equipment and Software 3-5 Years		2,331		(842	)

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

The Company accounts for certain intangible assets at cost. Management reviews these intangible assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of certain of its intangible assets and determined that $60,700 of intangible trademarks and customer base included with the Veteran Hemp Co acquisition be impaired and that $5,881 of goodwill associated to Veteran Hemp Co be impaired as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 respectively.

Use of Estimates

The most significant estimates with regard to these consolidated financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, the fair value of debt, the estimated valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and the determination of fair values of stock-based transactions.

Revenue Recognition

Net sales include product sales, less excise taxes and customer programs and incentives. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company recognizes sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, which include sales to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return. The Company excludes sales tax collected and remitted to various states from sales and cost of sales.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company and its previous Australian subsidiary’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary (which is currently inactive) is the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ (deficit) equity. Foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s previous Australian subsidiary use period end rates for monetary assets and liabilities, historical rates for historical cost balances, and average rates for expenses. If material, translation gains and losses are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries are primarily undertaken in Australian and Canadian dollars. The Company has not, through the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and the Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Cash totaled $174,477 and $437,126 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company is exposed to a concentration of credit risk with respect to its cash deposits. The Company places cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions in the United States. At times, cash balances held in financial institutions may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes the financial institutions are financially strong and the risk of loss is minimal. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to the related risks and does not believe its exposure to such risks is more than normal.

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and demand notes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Fair Market Measurements

The Company estimates the fair values of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities under ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC Topic 820"). ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for consistent measurement of fair value for those assets and liabilities already measured at fair value under other accounting pronouncements. Certain specific fair value measurements, such as those related to share-based compensation, are not included in the scope of ASC Topic 820. Primarily, ASC Topic 820 is applicable to assets and liabilities related to financial instruments, to some long-term investments and liabilities, to initial valuations of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, and to long-lived assets written down to fair value when they are impaired. It does not apply to oil and natural gas properties accounted for under the full cost method, which are subject to impairment based on SEC rules. ASC Topic 820 applies to assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, as well as to supplement fair value information about financial instruments not carried at fair value.

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of these techniques requires significant judgment and is primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, the principal (or most advantageous) market in which participants would transact for the asset or liability and the quality and availability of inputs.

Inputs to valuation techniques are classified as either observable or unobservable within the following hierarchy:

	·	Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	·	Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices which are observable for an asset or liability. These include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

	·	Level 3 -unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own expectations about the assumptions that market participants would use in measuring the fair value of an asset or liability.

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instrument's complexity.

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, valuation techniques used for assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value are generally categorized into three types: market approach, income approach and cost approach. The Company had no outstanding securities at December 31, 2021.

The following table presents the classification of the securities by level at December 31, 2021:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Investments - Stocks/mutual funds	$	0	$	-	$	-	$	0

Totals	$	0	$	-	$	-	$	0

The following table presents the classification of the securities by level at December 31, 2020:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Investments - Stocks/mutual funds	$	0	$	-	$	-	$	0

Totals	$	0	$	-	$	-	$	0

The Company uses the market approach technique to account for its financial instruments at fair value for the period ended December 31, 2021, and the application of this technique applied to similar assets and liabilities has been applied on a consistent basis.

Investments

At December 31, 2021, the Company’s investments are stated at fair value. Any unrealized gains and losses on investments are included as component of income (loss) from continued operations. Realized gains and losses from sales on investments are recorded to income at the time of sale using specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Periodically, the investments are reviewed for other than temporary impairment, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, and any losses determined to be other than temporary are realized and are included in other income (expense). The Company recognized an unrealized loss on its investments of $60,932 at December 31, 2020. This is related to 40,416,917 shares of Oilex stock at fair value of $0.004 stock price transferred to Holloman Value Holdings in 2020. The accrued interest of $231,317 was forgiven, assets consisting of cash at $32,350 and $52,510 fair value of Oilex shares, less outstanding payables totaling $25,201 as agreed upon, was transferred at the time of settlement and sale of the shell. The remaining related party amount of $171,478 was charged to donated capital.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, it evaluates whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the financial statements. The application of this method did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports and displays comprehensive income and loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the only components of comprehensive income were foreign currency translation adjustments.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events from December 31, 2021 through March 30, 2022, the date the Company’s consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has disclosed any subsequent events in Note 10.
