CLNV Clean Vision Corporation (QB)

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the six month period ending June 30, 2024 and not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 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. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount (“FDIC”).  As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no cash in excess of the FDIC’s $250,000 coverage limit.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2024, include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Clean-Seas, Inc., Clean-Seas India Private Limited, Clean-Seas Group, Endless Energy, Inc., EcoCell, Inc., Clean-Seas Arizona, Inc., Clean-Seas West Virginia, and our 51% owned subsidiary, Clean-Seas Morocco, LLC. As of June 30, 2024, there was no activity in Clean-Seas Group, Endless Energy or Clean-Seas Arizona. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Translation Adjustment

The accounts of the Company’s subsidiary Clean-Seas India are maintained in Rupees and the accounts of Clean-Seas Morocco in Moroccan dirham. In accordance with the Codification, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate at respective balance sheets dates, members’ capital are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification (ASC 220), as a component of members’ capital. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement.

Comprehensive Income

The Company uses SFAS 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (ASC Topic 220).  Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of members’ capital, except those due to investments by members, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to members.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of June 30, 2024, there are warrants to purchase up to 296,138,059 shares of common stock and approximately 220,313,000 dilutive shares of common stock from convertible notes payable. As of June 30, 2023, there are warrants to purchase up to 116,944,802 shares of common stock and approximately 153,000,000 dilutive shares of common stock from a convertible note payable. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, there are 20,000,000 and 20,000,000 potentially dilutive shares of common stock, respectively, if the Series C preferred stock were to be converted. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

Stock-Based Compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

In accordance with ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the Company will test for indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The Company’s notes payable represents the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of:

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and recognized as revenue at the point in time at which control of the goods transfers to the customer. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.

Our business model is focused on generating revenue from the following sources:

(i) Service revenue from the recycling services we provide. We plan to establish plastic feedstock agreements with a number of feedstock suppliers for the delivery of plastic to our facilities. Much of this plastic is currently a cost center for such feedstock suppliers, who pay "tipping fees" to landfills or incinerators. We will accept this plastic feedstock at reduced price or for no tipping fees. In some cases, feedstock suppliers will also share in revenue on products produced from their feedstock.  This revenue will be realized and recognized upon receipt of feedstock at one of our facilities.

(ii) Revenue generated from the sale of commodities. We will produce commodities including, but not limited to, pyrolysis oil, fuel oil, lubricants, synthetic gas, hydrogen, and carbon char. We are in negotiation with chemical and oil companies for purchasing, or off-taking, fuels and oils we produce, and exploring applications for carbon char. This revenue will be recognized upon shipment of products from one of our facilities and in some cases off-takers may pre-pay for a contractual obligation to buy our commodities.

(iii) Revenue generated from the sale of environmental credits. Our products are eligible for numerous environmental credits, including but not limited to carbon credits, plastic credits, and biodiversity credits. These credits may be monetized directly on the relevant markets or may be realized as value-add to off-takers, who will pay a premium for eligible products. Revenue from these credits will be recognized upon sale of applicable environmental credits on recognized markets, and/or upon sale of commodities to off-takers when that off-take includes an environmental credit premium.

(iv) Revenue generated from royalties and/or the sale of equipment. We expect to develop or acquire intellectual property which could generate revenue through royalties and/or sales of manufactured equipment.  Revenue may be recognized upon the terms of a contracted sale agreement. 

For the period ended June 30, 2024, our operations in Morocco had generated approximately $73,000 in revenue. During the period, 93% of revenue was from one party. As of June 30, 2024, we did not generate revenue from any other sources.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are amounts due from customers under normal trade terms. After assessing the creditworthiness of our customers and considering our historical experience, anticipated future operations, and prevailing economic conditions, we have determined that the application of the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology would be immaterial to our financial statements. Consequently, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of the year-end. The absence of a recorded allowance for credit losses reflects our judgment that potential credit losses on outstanding receivables are negligible. As of June 30, 2024, approximately 87% of accounts receivable are due from one customer.

Inventory

Inventory consists of plastic bottles that are acquired at no cost and are held for use in our pyrolysis process, which converts these materials into pyrolysis oil, carbon char, and other commodities. In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), these bottles are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Since the acquisition cost of the bottles is zero, and there is no significant alternative market value attributable to these materials before conversion, the carrying value of this inventory is recorded at $0 on our consolidated balance sheets.

The absence of a recorded cost for the plastic bottles does not reflect their importance to our production process or potential value of the end products. This accounting treatment is specific to the characteristics of the materials used and does not imply any underlying concerns about the viability or value of the final products produced through our pyrolysis process. 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
