NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: ORGANISATION
The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on November 18, 2010, as Axim International Inc. On July 24, 2014, the Company changed its name to AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. to better reflect its business operations. The Company’s principal executive office is located at 18 East 50th Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10022. On August 7, 2014, the Company formed a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary named Axim Holdings, Inc. This subsidiary will be used to help facilitate the anticipated activities planned by the Company.
In early 2014, the Company discontinued its organic waste marketable by-product business to focus on its anticipated new business to become an innovative biotechnology company working on the treatment of pain, spasticity, anxiety and other medical disorders with the application of cannabinoids based products as well as focusing on research, development and production of pharmaceutical, nutriceutical and cosmetic products as well as procurement of genetically and nano-controlled active ingredients.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The unaudited interim financial statements of AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc.
(formerly Axim International, Inc.)
as of September 30, 2014, and for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods. The results of operations of the Nine month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-10, and as a result, these financials will no longer incorporate the wording “Development Stage Company”. Also, the “Since inception till date” column is no longer used.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to financial statements have been condensed or abbreviated as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial information of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
On June 9, 2014, the board of directors of the Company adopted a resolution approving a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to: (i) change the name of the Company to “AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc.;” and (ii) increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from one hundred ninety five million (195,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to three hundred million (300,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
.
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Paragraph 820-10-35-37") to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Income taxes
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Section 740-10-25"). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the member potentially outstanding during each period. In periods when a net loss is experienced, only basic net loss per share is calculated because to do otherwise would be antidilutive.
Recently issued accounting standards
In June of 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-10, “Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation” (“ASU 2014-10”). The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove the definition of a development stage entity from the master glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations.
The Company has elected to adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-10 for the current fiscal period ending September 30, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4: CHANGE OF CONTROL
Two new owners purchased most of the Company common stock and all of the preferred stock on March 21, 2014. As a part of that sale specified receivables, payables and accrued expenses were consolidated and transferred to a third party. Because the “Debt Settlement Agreement” was a part of the stock transfer agreement the net assigned debt was credited to additional paid in capital. This was done with the consent of all creditors.

NOTE 6: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From inception to September 30, 2014, the Company president advanced a total of $45,002 to fund working capital needs. That amount was settled as a part of the “Debt Settlement Agreement.”
Effective November 26, 2012, the Company entered into a separate Convertible Loan Agreement with its President, under which it borrowed $50,000, and is due December 31, 2014, and does not bear interest. The loan is convertible into common stock at $0.10 per share at the option of the lender any time after February 28, 2013. As of September 30, 2014 the loan has not been converted. The Company used the proceeds of this loan to fund the purchase of license rights under the November 26, 2012, agreement with Omega Research Corporation. The Convertible Loan was transferred to a third party.
On May 21, 2014, the Company President advanced an additional $5,000 to the Company to fund working capital needs. This brings the total amount due to shareholder to $55,000 as of September 30, 2014, including convertible loan.
On August 8, 2014, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with CanChew Biotechnologies, LLC (CCB), a related party (The owners of CCB also own 90% of the outstanding shares of the Company), under which it borrowed $1,000,000 to fund working capital. The loan is a demand note which bears interest at a rate of 7% annually. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company charges $10,331 as interest expenses to operation (refer note 5).
On June 25, 2014, the Company received a non interest bearing advance from CCB of $30,000 to pay the down payment on its D & O liability insurance.
NOTE 7: GOING CONCERN
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative working capital of $188,909, has an accumulated deficit of $300,150, and presently does not have the resources to accomplish its objectives during the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The
unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
NOTE 8: AMORTIZATION AND IMPAIRMENT
The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the value of the licenses has diminished
.
There is no open market for this type of asset and no comparable assets have recently traded. Therefore, the Company reduced the value of its intangible asset to nil. The Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, charged as impairment expenses of $0 and $52,103, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $0 and $0, respectively, based on probable future cash flows.
The Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 charged amortization expenses of $0 and $1,593, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $2,500 and $7,500, respectively.
NOTE 9: DUE TO FIRST INSURANCE FUNDING
The Company financed the purchase of its D & O insurance with a note due to First Insurance Funding. The principle amount financed was $120,000. Interest is due on the unpaid balance at a rate of 5.15 % per annum. The total amount of interest due under the terms of the note is $3,116. The term of the note is nine months commencing August 25, 2014. Payments are due for nine installments in the amount of $13,680, which includes principle and interest, commencing August 25, 2014.
NOTE 10: COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
On June 13, 2014, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. George Anastassov, its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. The agreement’s effective date is June 1, 2014. The initial term of the agreement is one year. The agreement renews each year until terminated by the Company or Dr. Anastassov. Cash remuneration is $20,000 per month payable bi-monthly. Following 12 months of continuous employment the agreement calls for a 500,000 share restricted stock grant of the Company’s common shares, or at the sole option of the Company, its cash equivalent based on the ten day average closing price of the company’s common stock immediately preceding the grant date, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.com. Following 15 months of continuous employment and every three months thereafter the agreement calls for a 125,000 share restricted stock grant of the Company’s common shares, or at the sole option of the Company, its cash equivalent based on the ten day average closing price of the company’s common stock immediately preceding the grant date, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.com
NOTE 11: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Management evaluated all activities of the Company through the issuance date of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require adjustments or disclosure into the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
