NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND DECEMBER 31, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Chase Packaging Corporation (“the Company”), a Delaware Corporation, previously manufactured woven paper mesh for industrial applications and polypropylene mesh fabric bags for agricultural use, and distributed agricultural packaging manufactured by other companies. Management’s plans for the Company include securing a merger or acquisition, raising additional capital, and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value. However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and ability to continue as a going concern.
The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation and a reasonable understanding of the information presented. The Interim Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, previously filed with the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of September 30, 2021, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is made to that report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to financial statements.
NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Intangibles, Goodwill and Other — In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, ASU 2017-04 requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and this ASU did not have a material impact on its financial statements and related footnote disclosures.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement — This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, including the removal, modification to, and addition of certain disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The majority of the disclosure changes are to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair value disclosures in the Company’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – To Be Adopted
The Company does not believe that other standards, which have been issued but are not yet effective, will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
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 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had cash in insured accounts in the amount of $17,430 and $70,671, respectively, and cash equivalents (Treasury and government securities) held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $500,000 and $500,000 respectively.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The stock-based compensation expense incurred by the Company for employees and directors is based on the employee model of ASC 718, and the fair market value of the options is measured at the grant date. Under ASC 718 employee is defined as “An individual over whom the grantor of a share-based compensation award exercises or has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S. “tax regulations.” Our consultants do not meet the employer-employee relationship as defined by the IRS and therefore are accounted for under ASC 718 as amended by ASU 2018-07. As such, the grant date is the measurement date of an award’s fair value.
NOTE 4 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of common stock equivalents.
We have excluded 6,909,000 and 6,909,000 common stock equivalents (warrants - Note 5) from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which, if included, would have an antidilutive effect.
NOTE 5 - WARRANTS AND PREFERRED STOCKS:
Warrants
2021 Extension of Warrant Terms
On September 7, 2021, the Company, acting by resolution of its Board of Directors, amended and extended the expiration date of its outstanding warrants to purchase up to 6,909,000 shares of common stock. In addition to extending the expiration date to March 7, 2023, the Company removed (i) a provision automatically exercising the Warrants on a “cashless” basis of its stock traded above the exercise price for the five (5) days prior to expiration and (ii) the right of warrant holders to participate in any distribution to its stockholders by the Company, to the extent the warrants were unexercised at the time of such a distribution; the exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remain the same. The warrants modification expense of $1,450,890 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date. Assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model for these warrants were as follows:

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was 1.43 years and 0.68 year, respectively. The warrants will expire on March 7, 2023.
Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 4,000,000 shares of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no preferred stock outstanding.
NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels are described below:
Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;
Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.
There were no transfers in or out of any level during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.
Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company’s balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:
Cash equivalents at fair value — the Company’s cash equivalents, at fair value, consist of money market funds — marked to market. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy since they are valued using quoted market prices from an exchange.
The following tables provide information on those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:
