Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies *Basis of Presentation and Consolidation* The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. *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 at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. *Cash* For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. *Inventory* Inventory, which consists substantially of raw materials, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). The inventory is valued at the end of each fiscal period for the purpose of determining if a reserve for obsolescence needs to be recorded. There is no reserve for obsolescence as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. *Property and Equipment* Property and equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or disposition of assets, any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets when placed in service, which range from three to seven years. *Income Taxes* The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. The Company’s federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination. OXC accrues research and development (“R&D”) tax credits receivable from the HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) in England based on 14.50% of qualified R&D payroll costs. OXC, at its sole discretion, can elect to forego the tax credit and, instead, carry forward the qualified R&D payroll costs to offset future taxable income in England. *Intellectual Property* The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents on its technology, recorded at cost. Cost is based on third party expenditures for patent acquisitions and applications. OXC will begin amortizing the intangibles over their estimated remaining useful life when they commence revenue-producing activities. OXC will determine the useful lives of its intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors that will be considered when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, the long-term strategy for using the asset, any laws or other local regulations that could impact the useful life of the asset, and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. *Impairment of Long-lived Assets* Potential impairments of long-lived assets are reviewed when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall,” impairment is determined when estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value. The reserve for impairment for obsolescence as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $379,539 and $210,814, respectively. *Revenue Recognition* The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from contracts with customers.” Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of FASB ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company expects to recognize revenues as the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. *Stock Based Compensation Expense* The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Accounting for Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. In accordance with guidance provided under ASC Topic 718, the Company recognizes an expense for the fair value of its stock awards at the time of grant and the fair value of its outstanding stock options as they vest, whether held by employees or others. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no options outstanding. *Convertible Debentures* The Company adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity on January 1, 2022. ASU 2020-06 simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in its own equity. Additionally. ASU 2020-06 removes the requirements for accounting for beneficial conversion features. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 utilizing the modified retrospective method, which resulted in an immaterial impact to the Company. *Leases* The Company accounts for leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. Based on this standard, the Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets. As permitted under FASB ASC 842, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions to short term leases (leases with a lease term of twelve months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company did not have any short-term leases at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. *Foreign Currency Translation* Assets and liabilities of CIE’s United Kingdom subsidiary are translated from pounds sterling to United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the unaudited consolidated balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The translation adjustment for the reporting period is included in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and the cumulative effect of these adjustments are reported in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets as a cumulative translation adjustment within stockholders’ deficit. *Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share* The Company computes loss per common share, in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock. *Recent Accounting Pronouncements* The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
