1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Organization
and Description of Business
NEXT-ChemX
Corporation, formerly known as AllyMe Group Inc. (“Company”, “we” or “us”) was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Nevada on August 13, 2014 (“Inception”) and has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end. The Company’s
Board of Directors approved the new name on June 16, 2021 and was granted approval by FINRA on July 22, 2021. The Company began trading
under the new trading symbol “CHMX” on July 30, 2021.
In
Q2, 2021, the business of the Company changed fundamentally with the acquisition of a Novel Membrane-Based Ion Extraction Technology
(“Membrane Technology” as further described in Note 5 below) along with certain patents and patent applications and the abandonment
of its previous business model of providing consulting services for business development and business model design. From the date of
the acquisition, the majority shareholder ownership as well as the management of the Company changed. The Company secured the employment
of the Membrane Technology inventing scientist and began the path towards development of products having the following applications using
the Membrane Technology, including:
|
● |
Lithium
Extraction from Natural Brines, Geothermal Wells, or Leach Solutions; |
|
● |
Extracting
Fatty Acids from Vegetable Oils for More Economical Refining; |
|
● |
Extracting
of Radioactive Ions from Nuclear Plant Stored Water; |
|
● |
Extracting
of Metal Ions from Mine Leach Solutions, Effluent, or Tailings; and |
|
● |
Desalination
of Sea Water, by Extracting Ions for Water Purification. |
During
the first year since the change of business in April 2021, the Company has completed the first laboratory testing of a pilot of the Membrane
Technology. The process has been tested against various ions to identify the rates of extraction and to increase the efficiency of the
hollow fiber design. Work is ongoing to optimize the parameters of the extraction units in the laboratory.
During
the Second Quarter 2022, the Company has been pursuing various options relating to its financing requirements, essential for the Company
to complete its product development.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded receipts of a total of $330,000 as 1-year, 8% loans made by third party
shareholders to fund operations for the first six months of 2022; of this amount, a total of $30,000 was a short term loan already repaid
on June 3, 2022. The Company also reduced its salary burden by issuing 8% one-year convertible notes to 2 insider officers for a total
of $59,000; these were converted into shares of common stock during the quarter. One outside consultant also acquired a convertible note
with a face value of $1,000 on the same terms, converted at the same time.
On
May 4, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding Investment Term Sheet as modified (the “May Term Sheet”) with a corporation
involved in the development of certain specialty materials seeking access to technology that would secure alternative means of suppling
resources in an uncertain rare earth supply environment (the “Investing Corporation”). The May Term Sheet provides for the
Investing Corporation to fund the Company in two phases linked to certain milestones of achievement with a total of US$1.5 million drawn
down over the investing period. Funding commences under the May Term Sheet with an initial one-year 8% loan of $300,000 convertible into
shares of common stock of the Company at $1.25 per share. During the first phase, the Company is required to demonstrate its extraction
process on a variety of 10 different materials under laboratory conditions achieving a greater than 90% purity of the targeted extracted
substance. Once the successful report on the demonstration is made available to the Investing Corporation, it will invest a further $600,000
under the same conditions to initiate the second phase. During the second and last phase, the Company should demonstrate a working pilot
plant that can extract certain chosen ions with a commercially viable results. Following the demonstration of this, the Investing Corporation
will complete its investment transferring $600,000 to the Company for the purchase of shares of common stock of the Company at $1.25
per share. While the May Term Sheet is non-binding, the Company anticipates that the Investing Corporation will commence its investment
in accordance with the terms of the May Term Sheet during August 2022. Under the terms of the May Term Sheet, if at any time on or before
the date that falls ninety days following the date of the issuance of the shares by the Company against payment of the final $600,000
by the Investing Corporation, the Company raises money from the issuance of shares or any equity linked financial instrument where the
effective price of the Company’s shares is less than $1.25 per share, the conversion and investment price for the Investing Corporation
under the May Term Sheet will be reset to any such lower price per share and the Company shall be obliged to issue additional shares
as if the conversion had been made at such lower price.
During
the 2nd Quarter 2022, the Company has been actively involved in seeking appropriate materials for its extraction process and
has identified a potential supplier that can furnish certain important and necessary components that will form the basis of the pilot
modules.
The
Company completed the suspension of its Kyiv based operations and the suspension of its programs in Ukraine without significant impact
to its plans or to the overall operations of the Company.
During
the second quarter 2022, the Company has successfully demonstrated in the laboratory the removal of Magnesium, Calcium and Lithium from
complex brine mixtures in a continuous process and continues to improve the diversity of the ions extracted as well as to improve the
rates of extraction.
The
Company continues to pursue its intellectual property protection strategy with testing and development to support a strong protection
profile.
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN
The
Company has incurred losses since inception (August 13, 2014) resulting in an accumulated deficit of $2,791,348 as of June 30, 2022,
and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company had a net loss of $842,415 and net cash used in operating
activities of $313,305 for the period ended June 30, 2022. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors including
the success of the Company’s development efforts and its efforts to raise capital. Management also believes the Company needs to
raise additional capital for working capital purposes. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. The
financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets,
or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining
the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and related
parties and shareholders and, or, the private placement of common stock. However, there can be no assurances that management’s
plans will be successful.
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim
Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The
unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible
asset
As
of October 1, 2021 and in accordance with the evaluation of the intangible intellectual property asset of the Company that has been further
developed and strengthened during the second and third quarters of 2021, the Membrane Technology was reclassified as an indefinite intangible
asset. This reclassification was further justified when the Company filed a new patent in Q4 2021. Since reclassification of the intangible
asset, no further amortization has been recorded for the asset which remains at its October 1, 2021 value of $3,150,114. The Company
carries out regular assessments of the Membrane Technology to identify if its value is impaired in any way, (i) on an annual basis and
(ii) in the event that, in the opinion of Management, there exists any reason external or internal why the asset might be impaired.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Guidance
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options”
and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting
models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation
models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition
of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued
with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier
than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this
standard on January 1, 2021.
The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements
will have a material impact on its financial statements.
NOTE
4 – PREPAID EXPENSE AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Prepaid
expense and other current assets amounted to $1,600 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Prepaid expense balances as of June 30,
2022 and 2021 are for a deposit on the rental of laboratory facilities.
NOTE
5 – INTANGIBLE ASSET
The
Company’s principal asset is certain indefinite intangible intellectual property, specifically certain patents and patent applications
along with the existing and developing knowhow, relating to a novel extraction process proven capable of removing ions from solution
using hollow fiber membranes (the “Extraction Technology”). The technology represents, in the opinion of management, an entirely
novel approach to the process of extraction of ions that is anticipated to be cheaper, more efficient and less damaging to the environmental.
Following an assessment of the Extraction Technology carried out at the end of Q3, 2021, it was determined that the Extraction Technology
had an indefinite useful life. The said indefinite, intangible asset will not be amortized; however, the value of the Asset will be examined
for impairment periodically in accordance with ASC 350. At June 30, 2022, the Extraction Technology is valued on the balance sheet at
$3,150,114.
