NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022
NOTE 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, as well as securing the employment of the Membrane Technology inventing scientist. Potential applications for the Membrane Technology include:
| ● | 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 quarter of 2022, the Company has completed the first testing of a pilot of the Membrane Technology to identify the rates of extraction and to increase the efficiency of the hollow fiber design. Further work will continue to optimize the parameters of the extraction units. The Company hired certain key individuals with expertise in hollow fiber design.
The Company continues to pursue its intellectual property protection strategy with testing and development to support a strong protection profile.
| F-6 |
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The
Company has incurred losses since inception (August 13, 2014) resulting in an accumulated deficit of $
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, 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 $
| F-7 |
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 $
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 March 31, 2022, the Extraction Technology is valued on the balance sheet at

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings.
Given these uncertainties, readers of this Form 10-Q and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
Overview
The Company was organized on August 13, 2014 as a Nevada corporation under Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. The Company’s registered address is 3773 Howard Hughes Pkwy STE 500S, Las Vegas, NV, 89169, USA, and its principal office is located at 1111 W 12th St, # 113, Austin, Texas 78703.
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act which became law in April 2012. The definition of an “emerging growth company” is a company with an initial public offering of common equity securities which occurred after December 8, 2011 and has less than $1 billion of total annual gross revenues during last completed fiscal year.
Overview of the Business
Since April 27, 2021, the Company has changed it business with the acquisition of intellectual property assets related to a novel membrane-based ion extraction process (“Membrane Technology”), which is able to extract ions exiting in low concentrations from liquid solutions. The Membrane Technology is now being used in Laboratory pilot testing to enable the Company to produce its first commercial prototypes using the novel the Extraction method. The Membrane Technology allows for the removal of ions from the solution without concentration by evaporation (significantly preserving the water resources), without pressure or additional heating (reducing energy costs) and targets specific ions to extract (reducing the need for further operations and increasing the potential for the sale of other ions from the solution). On account of the reduced interference with the environment, the lower energy costs and the lack of a need for large evaporation ponds, management considers the Membrane Technology to be environmentally friendly and sustainable when compared to alternatives.
The Membrane Technology has been shown in the following applications: to extract lithium from brine solutions or mine leach solutions; to extract fatty acids from vegetable oils as a superior refining process; to extract glycerols from biodiesel as a superior purification process; to extract radioactive ions from nuclear waste waters; to extract specific metal ions from mine leach solutions and waste effluents; and to remove ions from seawater for desalination, among other things.
The primary focus of the current business is: on the continued organization and the hiring of targeted expertise; on the protection of the Company’s intellectual property asset; and the configuration of the most efficient commercial pilot plant for lithium extraction, followed by the extraction of radioactive ions from nuclear waste waters and the refining of vegetable oils by the removal of fatty acids; on the removal of glycerols for purification of biodiesel.
Impact of Events in Ukraine
The Business of the Company and its fundamental research are conducted in the United States, however, the Company has offices in Ukraine and was implementing programs with certain Ukrainian partners to test the Membrane Technology as a means of extracting certain radioactive contaminants such as might be found after a nuclear disaster or as a byproduct of the operations of a nuclear reactor. Plans for testing the use of the Membrane Technology to refine sunflower oil was also organized with raw oil producers. As a result of the current conflict in Ukraine these programs have been suspended. It is not certain if or when they may be able to be implemented in Ukraine. As a result the Company may be forced to do such testing elsewhere and under different circumstances and this may delay or increase the cost of this direction of the development of the Company’s technology.
| 3 |
In addition, the Company operated offices in Kyiv that contained certain assets, such as computers and printers as well as administrative documentation. These assets and files may be lost as it is not certain how much of the city has been destroyed. In the abandonment of our office, however, all confidential information relating to the technology and all sensitive computers were removed and transported out of country. Nothing remains that could damage the value of our primary asset.
While the Company may reorder certain of its plans, it is not anticipated that the conflict in Ukraine will have any material effect on the Company’s business.
Results of Operations
The following table summarizes the results of our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | Change | ||||||||||
| Revenues | $ | - | $ | - | $ | - | ||||||
| Operating expenses | 374,109 | 16,650 | 357,459 | |||||||||
| Other expense | 13,781 | - | 13,781 | |||||||||
| Net profit (loss) | (387,890 | ) | (16,650 | ) | (371,240 | ) | ||||||
| Profit (Loss) per share of common stock | (0.01 | ) | (0.00 | ) | (0.01 | ) | ||||||
The increase in operating expenses is the result of the new focus of the business of the Company following the acquisition of the Membrane Technology on 27th April 2021. This change has led to increases in payroll, rent and consulting expenses, in particular with the costs of intellectual property protection.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had total assets of $3,190,040 and an accumulated deficit of $2,336,823.
Our operating activities used $110,661 in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2022, while our operations used $27,795 cash in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Attention should be drawn to the fact that this considerable difference is the result of the changes in business that took place on 27th April 2021 and the new focus of the company moving forward. We had no revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022, or in the prior year same period.
Our cash requirements are primarily for the continued development of the commercial pilot plant with the purchase of equipment and materials as well as the operating expenses for the development of pilot plant systems and its demonstration to potential customers, as well as our payroll expense. During the next 6 months, it is planned that the Company open new corporate offices and commence the organization of its initial production facility.
Management believes that the Company’s cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund all Company obligations and commitments for the next twelve months. The Company has reached the stage in its development when it requires significant additional finance to be able to bring the first of its extraction processes to a marketable form. Management estimates that the minimum finance necessary to be able to achieve this is $1.5 million. The Company has already received a firm pledge of $400,000 towards this amount. Historically, we have depended on loans from our principal shareholders and their affiliated companies to provide us with working capital as required. There is no guarantee that such funding will be available when required and there can be no assurance that our stockholders, or any of them, will continue making loans or advances to us in the future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
Seasonality
Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.
Inflation
The Company has relied on funding from debt convertible equity as its primary source of funding. In the event of a high inflationary environment, this method of funding may become more expensive and may be less readily available. Our core business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements contained herein.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s president and chief executive officer (who is the Company’s principal executive officer) and the Company’s chief financial officer, treasurer, and secretary (who is the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The ineffectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses identified in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, described below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation.
| 5 |
Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded its internal control over financial reporting, while significantly improved, were still not effective as of March 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
With a view to introducing greater financial controls, the company has added staff to its finance department including the appointment of a CPA as senior accountant to keep proper track of the accounts; a complete restatement of its chart of accounts as at January 1, 2022 that will enable management better to track the granularity of expenses and to improve and manage the business. In addition, greater accountability over expenses has been implemented to take definitive effect at quarter ended March 31, 2022. It is anticipated that these measures will materially improve our internal control over financial reporting. While believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any Company have been detected, the Company continues to improve its control environment with a view to establishing an effective control environment and to satisfying the Company auditors of the same.
