NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Operations
Focus Universal Inc. (“Focus”) was
incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on December 4, 2012 (“Inception”). It is a universal smart instrument developer
and manufacturer, headquartered in the Los Angeles, California metropolitan area, specializing in the research and development and commercialization
of novel and proprietary universal smart technologies and instruments related to the internet of things (“IoT”) and telecommunications
industries. Focus is researching and developing novel and proprietary ultra-narrowband powerline communication (“PLC”) technology
that allows users to send data over existing electricity power cables without the noise problems that have plagued PLC for decades. Universal
smart technology is an off-the-shelf technology utilizing an innovative hardware integrated platform. The Focus platform provides a unique
and universal combined wired and wireless solution for embedded design, industrial control, functionality testing, and parameter measurement
instruments and functions. Our smart technology software utilizes a smartphone, computer, or a mobile device as an interface platform
and display that communicates and works in tandem with a group of external sensors or probes, or both. The external sensors and probes
may be manufactured by different vendors, but the universal smart technology functions in a manner that does not require the user to have
extensive knowledge of the unique characteristics of the function of each of the sensors and probes. The universal smart instrument Focus
developed (called the “Ubiquitor”) consists of a reusable foundation component which includes a wireless gateway (which allows
the instrument to connect to the smartphone via Bluetooth and WiFi technology), universal smart application software (“Application”)
which is installed on the user’s smartphone or other mobile device and allows monitoring of the sensor readouts on the smartphone
screen. The Ubiquitor also connects to a variety of individual scientific sensors that collect data, from moisture, light, airflow, voltage,
and a wide variety of applications. The data then sent through a wired or wireless connection, or a combination thereof to the smartphone
or other mobile device and the data is organized and displayed on the smartphone screen. The smartphone or other mobile device, foundation,
and sensor readouts together perform the functions of many traditional scientific and engineering instruments and are intended to replace
the traditional, wired stand-alone instruments at a fraction of their cost.
Perfecular Inc. (“Perfecular”) was
founded in September 2009 and is headquartered in Ontario, California, and is engaged in designing certain digital sensor products and
sells a broad selection of horticultural sensors and filters in North America and Europe.
AVX Design & Integration, Inc. (“AVX”)
was incorporated on June 16, 2000 in the state of California. AVX is an internet of things (“IoT”) installation and management
company specializing in high performance and easy to use Audio/Video, Home Theater, Lighting Control, Automation and Integration. Services
provided by AVX include full integration of houses, apartment, commercial complex, office spaces with audio, visual and control systems
to fully integrate devices in the low voltage field. AVX’s services also include partial equipment upgrade and installation.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Focus and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfecular Inc. and AVX Design & Integration,
Inc. (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Going
Concern
In the long term, the continuation of the Company
as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to repay its debt
obligations, to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. For the period
ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $682,516 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $438,775. In Q1, 2021
the Company has obtained a $1,500,000 loan from a financial institution and has a $1,500,000 loan commitment from a private related party.
The loan from the financial institution requires monthly payments with the final payment due in 2026. The related party loan will accrue
interest at 10% until March 15, 2022, or six months from the date the loan is funded, whichever is later (the “Initial Interest
Accrual Date”). Interest on any unpaid principal after Initial Interest Accrual Date shall accrue at a fixed rate of 12% per annum
until paid. The Company reserves the right to prepay this loan agreement (in whole or in part) after 6 months of the first day with no
prepayment penalty. The Company may make, in its sole discretion, payments of interest only, or interest and principal, provided that
the principal is not paid in full prior to six months from the date the loan is funded. The Company also plans to raise $10 million through
an underwritten public offering in 2021.
F- 5
With the January 1, 2021 beginning cash amount
of $585,325 and the loan of $1,500,000, the Company will have enough cash to cover its projected annual cash burn rate of $1,967,074.
With the additional $1,500,000 related party loan, the Company will have adequate reserves to continue operations in 2021 and 2022. The
related party which will provide the loan to the Company is owned by a director of the Company, which we have evaluated to be a reliable
source of cashflow. The $10 million planned public offering will contribute to a projected December 31, 2021 cash balance of $11,000,000.
Historically, the Company has been successful in reaching planned its fund-raising targets.
In 2020 the Company had negative operating cashflow
of approximately $1.96 million, mainly resulting from net loss. The Company is currently developing its products and licenses and expects
to generate profit once the products and licenses are available for the market, which will begin to alleviate the negative cashflow. Currently,
the Company is testing 4 Mbps ultra-narrowband power line communication printed circuit boards, the testing is expected to complete in
Q2 2021. The ultra-narrowband power line communication products will launch in Q4, 2021. The portable universal smart device is also in
the final printed circuit board layout stage, the Company is planning to launch this product in Q4 2021. Initially, new products would
require cash to manufacture and promote. The Company expects to begin generating positive cashflow with the launch of above-mentioned
products from Q2 of 2022.
Overall, we expect that with the loan we obtained,
along with the committed related-party loan, and planned capital raising will provide adequate cash for the Company to continue operation
as a going concern throughout 2021 and 2022. The Company expects the loans and offering will generate cash for 2021’s operation
and be able to pay off the loans obtained through the offering with sufficient cashflow for 2021 and 2022. Thus, the previous factors
raising substantial doubt to continue as a going concern have been alleviated.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfecular Inc. and AVX Design & Integration. Focus and Perfecular,
collectively “the entities” were under common control; therefore, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-45, the acquisition of Perfecular was accounted for
as a business combination between entities under common control and treated similar to a pooling of interest transaction. On March 15,
2019, Focus entered into a stock purchase agreement with AVX whereby Focus purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of AVX. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Segment Reporting
The Company currently has two operating segments.
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company considers operating segments to be components
of the Company’s business for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by management in deciding
how to allocate resources and to assess performance. Management reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes
of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has two operating and reportable
segments.
Asset information by operating segment is not
presented as the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting
policies used in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts,
historical experience, and various other factors that 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.
F- 6
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. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements
include the lease term impacting right-of use asset and lease liability, useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives of intangible
assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, and the valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash. At times, such investments may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) insurance limit. There were no cash equivalents held by the Company at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit to clients that sell
the Company’s products or engage in construction service under credit terms that it believes are customary in the industry and do
not require collateral to support customer receivables. The accounts receivable balances are generally collected within 30 to 90 days
of the product sale.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection trends and review of the current status of trade
accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. As of
March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $52,876 and $44,519, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit
loss by investing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.
Inventory
Inventory
consists primarily of parts and finished goods and is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost or net realizable value under
the first-in-first-out method. Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and an allowance is made to write down
inventory to market value, if lower. Inventory allowances are recorded for obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on assumptions about
future demand and marketability of products, the impact of new product introductions and specific identification of items, such as discontinued
products. These estimates could vary significantly from actual requirements, for example, if future economic conditions, customer inventory
levels, or competitive conditions differ from expectations. The Company regularly reviews the value of inventory based on historical usage
and estimated future usage. If estimated realized value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its
carrying value to its estimated market value. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, inventory reserve amounted to $67,275
and $70,562, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The
cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included
in earnings. Maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Fixed assets
Useful life
Furniture
5 years
Equipment
5 years
Warehouse
39 years
Improvement
5 years
Construction in progress

F- 7
Long-Lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC
Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event,
a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived
assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Long-term assets
of the Company are reviewed when circumstances warrant as to whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers
assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates
the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Based
on its review at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.
Share-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
to employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist
of stock options grants and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date
of grant.
The measurement of stock-based compensation is
subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period during which
services are received.
The Company calculates the fair value of option
grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the
common stock. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that
are ultimately expected to vest.
The resulting stock-based compensation expense
for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph ASC 825-10-50-10
for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph ASC 820-10-35-37 (“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.
Financial assets are considered Level 2 when their
fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant
model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because of
the short maturity of those instruments.
F- 8
Transactions involving related parties cannot
be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist.
Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated
on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
However, it is not practical to determine the
fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.
Revenue Recognition
On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC
606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition approach. The core principle of ASC 606
is that revenue should be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for exchange of those goods or services. The Company’s updated
accounting policies and related disclosures are set forth below, including the disclosure for disaggregated revenue. The impact of adopting
ASC 606 was not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue from the Company is recognized under Topic
606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and
includes the following elements:
☐
executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
☐
identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
☐
determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
☐
allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
☐
recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
These five elements, as applied to each of the
Company’s revenue categories, is summarized below:
☐
Product sales – revenue is recognized at the time of sale of equipment to the customer.
☐
Service sales – revenue is recognized based on the service been provided to the customer.
Revenue from construction projects is recognized
over time using the percentage-of-completion method under the cost approach. The percentage of completion is determined by estimating
stage of work completed. Under this approach, recognized contract revenue equals the total estimated contract revenue multiplied by the
percentage of completion. Our construction contracts are unit priced, and an account receivable is recorded for amounts invoiced based
on actual units produced.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes the cost of services,
labor, and product incurred to provide product sales, service sales, and project sales.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of efforts to refine existing product models and develop new product models.
F- 9
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850-10 for the identification
of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20 the related parties include: a) affiliates
of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value
option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of ASC 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing
entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship
of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one
party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting
parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management
or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly
influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other
similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated
financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved;
(b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods
for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions
on the consolidated financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are
presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts
due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of
settlement.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20 to report accounting
for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a
loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such
contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal
proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived
merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be
sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that
it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would
be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency
is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an
estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally
not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon
information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results
of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s
business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Income Tax Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their
tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, the Company does not foresee generating
taxable income in the near future and utilizing its deferred tax asset, therefore, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all
of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.
F- 10
Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as
a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination
being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized on examination.
For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain
tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset
and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income, expense, and credit
items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between
the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying
enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
There was no material deferred tax asset or liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the
Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is computed pursuant
to ASC 260-10-45. Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of stock and potentially outstanding shares of stock during the period to reflect the
potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.
Due to the net loss incurred by the Company, potentially
dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented.
The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive.

Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 855-10-50
for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were
issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed
to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR. Based upon the review, other than described in Note 14 – Subsequent Events, the
Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the
condensed consolidated financial statements for prior years to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect
on net income as previously reported.
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”),
which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was
subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements
to Topic 842, Leases; ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements; and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use
model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a
term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification
of expense recognition in the statement of income.
F- 11
The new standard was effective for the Company
on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the
date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative
period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019
and used the effective date as its date of initial application. Consequently, prior period financial information has not been recast
and the disclosures required under the new standard have not been provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.
The new standard provides a number of optional
practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits it not to reassess
under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did
not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, the latter not being applicable to the Company.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease
recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, it has not recognized ROU assets or lease
liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.
The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases.
The Company believes the most significant effects
of the adoption of this standard relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet
for its office operating leases and (2) providing new disclosures about its leasing activities. There was no change in its leasing activities
as a result of adoption.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based
payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements
for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption
of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05 in response
to the ongoing impacts to U.S. businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. ASU 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606) and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates for Certain Entities provide a limited deferral of the effective dates for implementing previously
issued ASU 606 and ASU 842 to give some relief to businesses considering the difficulties they are facing during the pandemic. These entities
may defer application to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2020. As the Company has already adopted ASU 606 and ASU 842, the Company does not anticipate any effect on its financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses, which changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit
losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. The new guidance also modifies the impairment
models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. In
February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC
Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards
Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies.
ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2022. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate
a material impact on results of operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects the adoption will have on its consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income
Taxes, which provides for certain updates to reduce complexity in the accounting for income taxes, including the utilization of the incremental
approach for intra-period tax allocation, among others. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect the implementation of ASU 2019-12 to have a
material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting
pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Note 9 – Operating Lease Right-of-use
Asset and Operating Lease Liability
Operating
lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date.
The interest rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 15%, as the interest rate implicit
in our lease is not readily determinable. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $16,295 and $16,295,
respectively as operating lease expense.
The Company currently has a lease agreement for
AVX’s operation for a monthly payment of $5,258 and shall increase by 3% every year. The lease commenced July 1, 2015 and expires
on August 31, 2022. A security deposit of $5,968 was also held for the duration of the lease term.
In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842),
the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its
prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight
or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected
not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less. On March 15, 2019 when AVX was acquired, upon adoption
of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset.

Narrative Description of the Business
Focus Universal Inc. (the “Company,”
“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Nevada corporation. We have developed
four fundamental disruptive proprietary technologies which we believe solve the most fundamental problems plaguing the internet of things
(“IoT”) industry through: (1) increasing overall chip integration by shifting it to the device level; (2) creating a faster
5G cellular technology by using Ultra-narrowband technology; (3) leveraging ultra-narrowband power line communication (“PLC”)
technology; and (4) User Interface Machine auto generation technology. Our Universal smart technology is designed to overcome instrumentation
interoperability and interchangeability. The electronic design starts from a 90% completed common foundation we call our universal smart
instrumentation platform (“USIP”), instead of the current method of building each stand-alone instrument from scratch. Our
method eliminates redundant hardware and software and results in significant cost savings and production efficiency. We have developed
software machine auto generation technology to replace the manual software designs which are currently in use and cannot satisfy the exponential
growth of future IoT industry demand. Our ultra-narrowband PLC enables our users to send data over existing electricity power cables and
immediately establish a ubiquitous data network without substantial new investment for a dedicated wiring infrastructure. Our ultra-narrow
band technology is capable of overcoming the noise problems communicating through power lines that have hindered our competitors for over
a century. Our wireless communication technology allows for longer-range coverage, is more energy effective and has much faster data sending
speeds than the current 5G technology speeds being used. We also provide sensor devices and are a wholesaler of various air filters
and digital, analog, and quantum light meter systems.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020, we generated significant amount of our revenue from sales of a broad selection of agricultural sensors and measurement equipment
which is currently our primary business.
Our Current Products Include:
Products we are currently selling
We are also a wholesaler of various digital, analog,
and quantum light meters and filtration products, including fan speed adjusters, carbon filters and HEPA filtration systems. We source
these products from manufacturers in China and then sell them to a major U.S. distributor, Hydrofarm, who resells our products directly
to consumers through retail distribution channels and in some cases, places its own branding on our products.
4
Specifically, we sell the following products:
Fan speed adjuster device . We provide a
fan speed adjuster device to our client Hydrofarm. Designed specifically for centrifugal fans with brushless motors, our adjuster device
helps ensure longer life by preventing damage to fan motors by adjusting the speed of centrifugal fans without causing the motor to hum.
These devices are rated for 350 watts max, have 120VAC voltage capacity and feature an internal, electronic auto-resetting circuit breaker.
Our Fan Speed Adjuster Device
Carbon filter devices. We sell two types
of carbon filter devices to our client Hydrofarm. These carbon filter devices are professional grade filters specifically designed and
used to filter air in greenhouses that might be polluted by fermenting organics. One of these filters can be attached to a centrifugal
fan to scrub the air in a constant circle or can be attached to an exhaust line as a single pass filter, which moves air out of the growing
area and filters unwanted odors and removes pollens, dust, and other debris in the air. The other filter is designed to be used with fans
from 0-6000 C.F.M.
Our Carbon Filter Device
HEPA filtration device. We provide a high-efficiency
particulate arrestance (“HEPA”) filtration device at wholesale prices to our client Hydrofarm. Manufactured, tested, certified,
and labeled in accordance with current HEPA filter standards, this device is targeted towards greenhouses and grow rooms and designed
to keep insects, bacteria, and mold out of grow rooms. We sell these devices in various sizes.
Our HEPA Filtration Device
5
Digital light meter. We provide a handheld
digital light meter that is used to measure luminance in fc units, or foot-candles.
Our Digital Light Meter Device
Quantum par meter . We provide a handheld
quantum par meter used to measure photosynthetically active radiation (“PAR”). This fully portable handheld PAR meter is designed
to measure PAR flux in wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nm. It is designed to measure up to 10,000 µmol.
Our Quantum Par Meter Device
Strategy behind the AVX Acquisition
On March 15, 2019, the Company completed a transaction
with Patrick Calderone to purchase 100% of the outstanding stock of AVX, an IoT installation and management company based in southern
California.
Through our acquisition of AVX, we are planning
to offer ordinary families an entire smart home product line at a fraction of the current market price. We have finished the design of
smart lighting control, air conditioner, sprinkler, garden light control, garage door control and heating control. We are developing a
swimming pool control device, smoke detector and carbon monoxide monitor. We believe these product lines could be completed by the end
of 2021.
6
Ubiquitor Wireless Universal Sensor Device
Our USIP technology is an advanced software and
hardware integrated instrumentation platform that uses a large-scale modular design approach. The large-scale modular design approach
subdivides instruments into a foundation component (a USIP) and architecture-specific components (sensor nodes), which together replaces
the functions of traditional instruments at a fraction of their cost. The USIP has an open architecture, incorporating a variety of individual
instrument functions, sensors, and probes from different industries and vendors. The platform features the ability to connect potentially
thousands of different sensors or probes, addressing major limitations present in traditional instrumentation systems. We believe the
platform represents a technological advancement in the IoT marketplace by integrating large numbers of technologies, including cloud technology,
wired and wireless communication technology, software programming, instrumentation technology, artificial intelligence, PLC, and sensor
networking into a single platform. The result of such integration is a smaller, cheaper and faster circuit system design than those currently
offered in the instrumentation market.
The USIP, which is compatible with a significant
percentage of the instruments currently manufactured, consists of universal and reusable hardware and software. The universal hardware
in the USIP is (i) a smartphone, computer, or any mobile device capable of running our software that includes a display and either hardware
controls or software control surfaces, and (ii) our Ubiquitor, which is designed to be the universal data logger that acts as a bridge
between the computer or mobile device and the sensor nodes. We call our flagship USIP device the “Ubiquitor” due to its ability
to measure and test a variety of electrical and physical phenomena such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, sound, light, and
humidity—both wired and wirelessly.
We have created and assembled prototype models
of the Ubiquitor in limited quantities and plan to expand our assembly in 2021. Our prototype Ubiquitor is compatible with standard desktop
computers running either Windows OS or MacOS and Android- or iOS-based mobile devices and acts as a conduit that communicates with a group
of sensors or probes manufactured by different vendors in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of their unique
specifications. The data readout is displayed on the computer or mobile device display in application software we have created for use
with a Windows PC and are creating for use with a Mac. We are designing the application software (the “App”) to have a graphical
representation of control and indicator elements common in traditional tangible instruments, such as knobs, buttons, dials, and graphs,
etc. Utilizing the Ubiquitor and the App, users and instrument manufacturers will be free to add, remove or change a sensor module for
their special industrial or educational application without needing to create their own application software and design their own hardware.
Our developers are designing and implementing a soft control touch screen interface that supports real-time data monitoring and facilitates
instrument control and operation.
Recently, the Company has devoted a substantial
number of resources to research and development to bring the Ubiquitor and its App to full production and distribution. We anticipate
that the sales and marketing involved with bringing the Ubiquitor to market will require us to hire a number of new employees in order
to gain traction in the market. We intend to introduce the Ubiquitor in smart home installations to reduce costs and increase functionality,
as well as implement the Ubiquitor device in greenhouses and other agricultural warehouses that require regulation of light, humidity,
moisture, and other measurable scientific units required to create optimal growing conditions.
Our universal smart development protocol focuses
not only on the design of the hardware and software modules but also on the design of the overall universal smart instruments system,
guided by the principles of structure, universality and modularity.
Our Ubiquitor device is a fully modular system
with a universal sensor node and gateway system that uses a computer or mobile device as the output display module responsible for displaying
the readings of various sensor nodes. We have completed an initial production run of prototype Ubiquitor devices and intend to proceed
into full-scale production. The Ubiquitor’s sensor analytics system integrates event-monitoring, storage and analytics software
in a cohesive package that provides a holistic view of the sensor data it is reading.
7
The physical hardware consists of:
1.
The sensor nodes, which come in hundreds of different varieties of sensor instruments in the form of a USB stick, with both male and female ports; and
2.
The Ubiquitor as the main hardware gateway, which is a small cell phone-sized device with integrated circuits.
We believe the Ubiquitor device can connect up
to thousands of potential sensor nodes, and integrate data using embedded software to display the data and all analytics onto a digital
screen (desktop, smartphone or mobile device displays) using a Wi-Fi connection. As disclosed in our patent application, we have already
tested up to 256 sensor instrument readouts. Most types of nodes and probes can connect to the hardware. If the sensor size is bigger
than the standard probe size, it is possible to simply use a USB cable to connect the probe and the hub. All data and analytics are displayed
on a single screen, with tools that record and keep track of all measurements, and sort and display analytic information in easy-to-read
charts.
The Ubiquitor is a general platform that collects
data in real time, up to 100 Hz per second; and thus, is intended to be adapted to many industrial uses.
By using the universal hardware or USIP, we believe
we could achieve the following efficiencies in instrumentation systems:
1.
Cut production costs. Smartphone technology is widely used on the small sensor device market. By utilizing smartphone technology, the Ubiquitor will add superior functionality and performance, improve the product’s quality and cut production costs.
2.
Reduce the effort required to develop a new sensor product. With the Ubiquitor, we believe that there will be no need for device manufacturers to research and develop new monitoring and operating components because they will just need to develop new sensor nodes or probes that may be integrated into our software technology.
3.
Reduce clutter. It is anticipated that the Ubiquitor could dispense with some of the hassle of connecting cables, since the Ubiquitor allows wireless transmission of sensor data and may allow wireless access to networks, such as a PLC network.
We have not yet started research and development
of a second generation Ubiquitor device, but once we demonstrate the market for this product, we intend to begin such research and development.
Currently our research and development is focused on concepts we can implement in the current first generation Ubiquitor device.

Research and Development Efforts of Power Line
Communication
Power Line Communication (“PLC”) is
a communication technology that enables sending data over existing power cables. One advantage of this technology is that PLC does not
require substantial new investment for its communications infrastructure. Rather, PLC utilizes existing power lines, thereby forming a
distribution network that already penetrates all residential, commercial and industrial premises. Accordingly, connectivity via PLC is
potentially the most cost-effective, scalable interconnectivity approach for the IoT. We believe PLC can be an integral part of our communication
infrastructure for the IoT, which enables reliable, real-time measurements, monitoring and control. A large variety of appliances may
be interconnected by transmitting data through the same wires that provide electrical energy.
Wireless networks allow
multiple users to access large amounts of information without the hassle of running wires to and from each IoT device (See “Risk
Factors” above). The 5G cellular network, for example, promises exciting advances for telecommunication service providers, but the
implementation of the 5G network will be challenging. The implementation will require building out dense, low-latency edge networks in
ways that are affordable, secure and easily maintainable. 5G antennas will be able to handle more users and to transmit more data, but
they will have a shorter transmission range. 5G networks will also require frequencies of up to 300 GHz. This requirement means wireless
carriers will need to bid for the costly higher spectrum bands to roll out their respective 5G networks. Generally speaking, wireless
networks are typically slower and more expensive than existing wired networks and extremely susceptible to interference from radio signals,
radiation, walls and other forms of interference. Additionally, wireless networks may be accessed by any device within range of the network’s
signal, making the information transmitted on a wireless network susceptible to access by unauthorized recipients. We are currently developing
a wired alternative to wireless networks that utilizes installed power lines to transmit information. Our PLC technology uses an ultra-narrow
band spectrum channel of less than 1 KHz to establish a long-distance link between transmitter and receiver. Thus, we believe that our
proprietary ultra-narrow band PLC technology will offer a promising alternative to wireless networks and provide the backbone communication
infrastructure for IoT devices.
PLC has been around for many years, leading some
to believe that it is a mature technology. Current leaders in the industry include Siemens (Germany), Netgear (US), ABB (Switzerland),
Ametek (US), Schneider Electric (France), General Electric (US), TP-Link Technologies (China), D-Link (Taiwan), Landis+Gyr (Switzerland),
and Nyx Hemera Technologies (Canada).
The primary design goal of the power line network
is electric power distribution, not data transmission. Consequently, although PLC is an established technology, the harsh electrical noise
present on power lines and variations in equipment and standards make communications over the power grid difficult and present a number
of fundamental challenges for data transfer. Signals propagating along the power line are subjected to very large amounts of noise, attenuation,
and distortion that make them erratic, with several attributes varying over time. PLC is susceptible to noise from devices linked to the
power supply infrastructure, for example, fluorescent tube lights, drills, hair dryers, microwave ovens, computers, switch mode power
supply, cellphone chargers, dimmers, refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners. All the trials of PLC technology
appear to have resulted in power companies and internet service providers deciding that the technology is not viable as a means of delivering
broadband internet access. These technological challenges have impeded, or even halted, progression of PLC technology.
We are performing research and development with
the intention of inventing our own ultra-narrow band PLC technology that attempts to tackle two challenges: 1) overcoming interference
caused by electronic noise on the power line system; and 2) bandwidth. Preliminary internal testing suggests that we have achieved noise
rejection and interference suppression at five orders of magnitude better than traditional PLC technology. We believe our ultra-narrow
band PLC technology shows robustness against noise and interference, based on our internal testing where we found no detectable interference
occurring when six industrial blowers, notorious for causing electrical noise, and a large air conditioning unit were connected to an
electrical line passing a control signal. By comparison, a small air dryer is able to cause interference in legacy PLC systems. State
of the art PLC technologies developed by other companies may offer sufficient bandwidth, but they cannot effectively deal with the interference
of electric noise on the system. However, in our preliminary internal testing, we have been able to increase bandwidth to 4 megabits per
second with the potential for more, while simultaneously effectively dealing with electrical noise and interference. Furthermore, such
data transfer rates were delivered at a bandwidth of less than 1000 Hz, thereby achieving a bandwidth efficiency (measured as bits per
second per Hz) greater than 4000. For comparison purposes, 4G cellular networks have a bandwidth efficiency of less than 6 due to their
requirement of larger bandwidth resources. The demand for bandwidth resources will only grow with the upcoming 5G and proposed 6G networks.
Accordingly, further research of our PLC technology is warranted as it shows promise for increased data transfer rates at a lower cost
than either of the 5G and proposed 6G networks, particularly given such networks’ requirements for costly new infrastructure and
bandwidth resources. Based on the promising results of our internal testing, we have begun designing a proprietary PLC microchip and have
set an intended launch date for 2021.
9
We believe that because residential and commercial
structures already include multiple power outlets, the power line infrastructure represents an excellent network to share data among intelligent
devices, particularly in the smart home installations that we are currently performing through AVX. Using PLC technology would mean that
the requirement for costly ethernet cable networks to carry network information could be eliminated, as the same signals may be carried
on the existing power lines.
We plan to leverage the communications technology
of PLC to enhance the Ubiquitor and make the Ubiquitor a central component of the smart home and gardening systems we are currently developing.
The goal would be that our Ubiquitor would be used to send or receive control signals from a smart device, and control hundreds of devices
in near real time. We intend to apply the same concept to commercial and industrial applications.
Also, we
plan to design a full line of products for the gardening industry by integrating the Ubiquitor device into a gardening system. The system
would include a light control node, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, digital light sensor, quantum PAR sensor, pH sensor, total dissolved
solids (“TDS”) sensor and carbon dioxide sensor design. We believe the combination of these sensors would offer the same features
as a combination of dozens or even hundreds of different instruments in the gardening industry. The Ubiquitor would be used to replace
these devices and could offer another case study of the effectiveness of the application of universal smart technology to such systems.
The development of universal smart instruments
and the IoT have a considerable amount of overlap, with the only difference being the number of sensor nodes involved. We plan to take
advantage of this overlap and unify universal smart instruments and the IoT into a single system, building the IoT infrastructure for
both residential and commercial uses and charging monthly subscription fees. End users will be able to plug any peripheral devices into
the power outlet and enjoy the IoT connectivity throughout their home.
Eventually,
we hope to establish five divisions to bring our technology together: 1) AVX with new shared distributed smart home products powered by
the Ubiquitor; 2) an IT division in software machine design; 3) Universal Smart Instrumentation; 4) PLC; and 5) an IoT division.
Intellectual Property Protection
On November 4, 2016, we filed a U.S. patent application
number 15/344,041 with the USPTO. On March 5, 2018, we issued a press release announcing that the USPTO published an Issue Notification
for U.S. Patent Application No. 9924295 entitled “Universal Smart Device,” which covers a patent application regarding the
Company’s Universal Smart Device. The patent was issued on March 20, 2018.
Subsequent to our internal research and development
efforts, we filed with the USPTO on June 2, 2017 a patent application regarding a process for improving a spectral response curve of a
photo sensor. The small and cost-effective multicolor sensor and its related software protected by the patent we believe could achieve
a spectral response that approximates an ideal photo response to take optical measurement. The patent was issued on February 26, 2019.
In addition, we have been notified that the USPTO
published a notice of allowance for a patent application we filed on March 12, 2018 as application No. 15/925,400. The patent title is
a “Universal Smart Device,” which is a universal smart instrument that unifies heterogeneous measurement probes into a single
device that can analyze, publish, and share the data analyzed. The issue fee was paid on March 14, 2019.
On November 29, 2019, the Company filed an international
utility patent application filed through the patent cooperation treaty as application PCT/US2019/63880. In April 2020, the Company was
notified that it received a favorable international search report from the International Searching Authority regarding this patent application,
which patents the Company’s PLC technology. The World International Property Organization report cited only three category “A”
documents, indicating that the Company’s application met both the novelty and non-obviousness patentability requirements. Consequently,
the Company is optimistic that the patent covering the claims for its PLC technology will be issued in due course and will allow the Company
to implement strong protections on the PLC technology worldwide.
10
Competitors
There are several competitors we have identified
in the wireless sensor node industry, including traditional instruments or devices manufacturers such as Hanna Instruments and Extech
Instruments.
Hach developed and launched the SC1000 Multi-parameter
Universal Controller, a probe module for connecting up to 32 digital sensors or analyzers. However, their products are not compatible
with smart phones yet; and we believe their price point is still prohibitive to consumers.
Monnit Corporation offers a range of wireless
and remote sensors. Many of Monnit’s products are web-based wireless sensors that usually are not portable because of their power
consumption. Also, the sensors’ real-time updates are slow; and we believe security of the web-based sensor data acquisition also
may be a concern. In addition to purchasing the device, consumers usually have to pay monthly fees for using web-based services.
We are not trying to compete with traditional
instruments or device manufacturers because we utilize our Ubiquitor device in conjunction with our smartphone application, which we believe
will be a completely different product category.
Market Potential
We believe that wireless universal smart technology
will play a critical role for traditional instrument manufacturers, as it is too expensive and difficult to develop for medium or smaller
companies. The cost factor is the first consideration when deciding whether a company wants to develop smart wireless technologies and
implement them in their products or use them in their field testing. We also hope to play a role in academic laboratories, particularly
with smaller academic laboratories who are sensitive to price.

Our net cash outflows from operating activities
of $438,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily the result of our net loss of $682,516 and changes in our operating
assets and liabilities offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses. The change in operating assets and liabilities includes an increase
in accounts receivable of $165,725, decrease in inventory of $20,975, decrease in prepaid expenses of $53,340, decrease in deposits of
$100,000, increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $142,464, decrease in accounts payable – related party of $17,471,
and decrease in customer deposit of $53,450. Non-cash expense included add-backs of $8,357 in bad debt expense, $3,287 in reduction of
inventory reserve, $40,537 in depreciation expense, net of $837 in amortization of right-of-use assets, $12,000 in stock-based compensation,
and $106,838 in stock option compensation.

Our net cash outflows from operating activities
of $649,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of our net loss of $922,306 and changes in our operating
assets and liabilities offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses. The change in operating assets and liabilities includes increase in
accounts receivable of $94,161, increase of accounts receivable – related party of $23,977, increase in inventory of $14,437, decrease
in prepaid expenses of $6,634, increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $123,969, decrease in other current liabilities
of $12,334, decrease in interest payable – related party of $1,750, and decrease in customer deposit of $22,984. Non-cash expense
included add-backs of $189 in inventory reserve, $40,598 in depreciation expense, $12,000 in stock-based compensation, $259,350 in stock
option compensation, and net of $378 in amortization of right-of-use asset.
We expect that cash flows from operating activities
may fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our net revenues and operating results,
utilization of new revenue streams, collection of accounts receivable, and timing of billings and payments.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
There were no investing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 the
Company obtained $267,297 in SBA loan, received $1,500,000 in bank loan, and repaid $3,600 in bank loan, resulting in cash inflow of $1,763,697.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company paid off a promissory note, resulting cash outflow of $50,000.
Going
Concern
In the long term, the continuation of the Company
as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to repay its debt
obligations, to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. For the period
ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $682,516 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $438,775. In Q1, 2021
the Company has obtained a $1,500,000 loan from a financial institution and has a $1,500,000 loan commitment from a private related party.
The loan from the financial institution requires monthly payments with the final payment due in 2026. The related party loan will accrue
interest at 10% until March 15, 2022, or six months from the date the loan is funded, whichever is later (the “Initial Interest
Accrual Date”). Interest on any unpaid principal after Initial Interest Accrual Date shall accrue at a fixed rate of 12% per annum
until paid. The Company reserves the right to prepay this loan agreement (in whole or in part) after 6 months of the first day with no
prepayment penalty. The Company may make, in its sole discretion, payments of interest only, or interest and principal, provided that
the principal is not paid in full prior to six months from the date the loan is funded. The Company also plans to raise $10 million through
an underwritten public offering in 2021.
With the January 1, 2021 beginning cash amount
of $585,325 and the loan of $1,500,000, the Company will have enough cash to cover its projected annual cash burn rate of $1,967,074.
With the additional $1,500,000 related party loan, the Company will have adequate reserves to continue operations in 2021 and 2022. The
related party which will provide the loan to the Company is owned by a director of the Company, which we have evaluated to be a reliable
source of cashflow. The $10 million planned public offering will contribute to a projected December 31, 2021 cash balance of $11,000,000.
Historically, the Company has been successful in reaching planned its fund-raising targets.
In 2020 the Company had negative operating cashflow
of approximately $1.96 million, mainly resulting from net loss. The Company is currently developing its products and licenses and expects
to generate profit once the products and licenses available for the market, which will begin to alleviate the negative cashflow. Currently,
the Company is testing 4 Mbps ultra-narrowband power line communication printed circuit boards, the testing is expected to complete in
Q2 2021. The ultra-narrowband power line communication products will launch in Q4, 2021. The portable universal smart device is also in
the final printed circuit board layout stage, the Company is planning to launch this product in Q4 2021. Initially, new products would
require cash to manufacture and promote. The Company expects to begin generating positive cashflow with the launch of above-mentioned
products from Q2 of 2022.
13
Overall, we expect that with the loan we obtained,
along with the committed related-party loan, and planned capital raising will provide adequate cash for the Company to continue operation
as a going concern throughout 2021 and 2022. The Company expects the loans and offering will generate cash for 2021’s operation
and be able to pay off the loans obtained through the offering with sufficient cashflow for 2021 and 2022. Thus, the previous factors
raising substantial doubt to continue as a going concern have been alleviated.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined
by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
Under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, at the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the
material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report
was being prepared.
Our management concluded we did not maintain effective
controls over the Company’s financial reporting. The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, caused
principally by inadequate staffing and technical expertise in key positions, resulted in overly relying on outside consultants to make
numerous adjustments to our financial statements. Additionally, the significant deficiencies or material weaknesses could result in future
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Management has concluded that
the identified control deficiencies constitutes a material weakness.
Changes in internal control over financial
reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal
Controls
Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity's disclosure objectives. The likelihood
of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human
judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors
or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
