NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of Business
Stratus Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (“Stratus Capital,” “the Company,” “We," "Us," or “Our”) is a publicly quoted real estate development company seeking to develop or redevelop residential, commercial or mixed-use properties.
History
Stratus Capital was incorporated in Delaware on April 13, 2018. Effective June 28, 2018 (the Company’s deemed date of inception), following a corporate reorganization pursuant to a reverse recapitalization, Stratus Capital became the reorganized successor to Ashcroft Homes Corporation, a publicly-quoted real estate company that ceased trading in 2004.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have no ongoing business or income and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 incurred a loss of $72,588 and had an accumulated deficit of $257,465 as of June 30, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional debt or equity funding to meet our ongoing operating expenses and ultimately in merging with another entity with experienced management and profitable operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in achieving these objectives.
We have not commenced operations as yet and consequently have not been directly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak at this time. However, the detrimental effect of the Covid-19 outbreak on the economy as a whole may have a detrimental impact on our ability to raise funding and commence operations for the foreseeable future.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. These policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied. The Company has selected December 31 as its financial year end. The Company has not earned any revenue to date.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2020 and for the related periods presented, have been included. The results for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed in our Form 10-K on April 15, 2020.
| 8 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
We maintain cash balances in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our cash balances were $44 and $244, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements:
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs.
Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.
Our financial instruments consist of our cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses - related parties and note payable – related party. The carrying amount of our prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses- related parties and note payable – related party approximates their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments
Related Party Transactions:
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of our membership interests including such person's immediate families, (ii) our management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence our financial and operating decisions. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See Notes 5, 6 and 8 below for details of related party transactions in the period presented.
Leases:
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) as assets, operating lease non-current liabilities, and operating lease current liabilities in our balance sheet. Finance leases are property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the right to use an asset for the lease term and lease liability represent the obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over lease term. As most of the leases doesn’t provide an implicit rate. We generally use the incremental borrowing rate on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease
| 9 |
payments at commencement date. The operating ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over lease term.
Since June 28, 2018 (Inception), the only lease arrangement we have entered into is a month-to-month lease for a storage unit. This lease has a term of less than 12 months, we have elected to adopt the exemption for short-term leases and have not accounted for it as described above.
Income Taxes:
The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain Tax Positions:
We evaluate tax positions in a two-step process. We first determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We classify gross interest and penalties and unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as long-term liabilities in the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Service revenues are recognized as the services are performed in proportion to the transfer of control to the customer and real estate revenues are recognized at the time of sale when consideration has been exchanged and title has been conveyed to the buyer. At this time, we have not identified specific planned revenue streams.
During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not recognize any revenue.
Advertising Costs:
We expense advertising costs when advertisements occur. No advertising costs were incurred during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Stock-Based Compensation:
The cost of equity instruments issued to non-employees in return for goods and services is measured by the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Measurement date for non-employees is the grant date of the stock-based compensation. The cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments is based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued.
| 10 |
Net Loss per Share Calculation:
Basic earnings (loss) per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Recently Accounting Pronouncements:
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 4. PREPAID EXPENSES
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of prepayments and deposits was $6,500 and $0, respectively, which related to the annual disclosure and news service subscription for OTC Markets which will be amortized monthly over the course of the year commencing July 1, 2020.
NOTE 5. ACCRUED EXPENSES - RELATED PARTIES
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, balances of $126,000 and $90,000, respectively, in accrued compensation were due to our current officers and directors. Further, $9,794 and $5,373, respectively, in accrued interest was accrued in respect of the loan made to us by a partnership controlled by one of our directors and officers who is also our principal shareholder (Note 6).
NOTE 6. NOTE PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY
During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, a partnership controlled by one of our directors and officers, who is also our principal shareholder, advanced to us $39,071 and $25,596, respectively, by way of a promissory note to finance our working capital requirements.
The promissory note is unsecured, due on demand and bears interest at 8% per annum.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance outstanding under the promissory note was $135,048 and $95,977, respectively.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
We were not subject to any legal proceedings during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 or 2019, and, to the best of our knowledge, no legal proceedings are pending or threatened.
Contractual Obligations
We rent a storage unit under a month to month agreement. We initially were paying $120 per month, but in April we downsized our unit and now only pay $87 per month.
Effective October 1, 2018, we entered into three-year employment agreements with two of our directors and officers. Each individual is entitled to a salary of $36,000 per year and bonuses and stock options to be determined and issued at a later date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks.
This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue,” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate; competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.
Based on our financial history since inception, our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, as of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit totaling ($257,465). This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Plan of Operation
Our plan of operations is to raise debt and/or equity to meet our ongoing operating expenses with opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock to create value for our shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete this series of transactions. In particular, there is no assurance that any stockholder will realize any return on their shares after such a transaction. Any merger or acquisition completed by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our current stockholders.
We believe we are an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.
We intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms which desire to seek the advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Securities Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in business ventures of virtually any nature. This discussion of our proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential real estate development and construction opportunities. We anticipate that we may be able to participate in only a few projects initially because of our lack of financial resources.
We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or that desire to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
We expect that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex and risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, we believe that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all stockholders and other factors. Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We have, and will continue to have, essentially no assets to provide the owners of business opportunities. However, we will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering.
| 13 |
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, our directors. We intend to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to our attention through present associations of our director, professional advisors or by our stockholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, we will consider such matters as (i) available technical, financial and managerial resources; (ii) working capital and other financial requirements; (iii) history of operations, if any, and prospects for the future; (iv) nature of present and expected competition; (v) quality, experience and depth of management services; (vi) potential for further research, development or exploration; (vii) specific risk factors not now foreseeable but that may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the company; (viii) potential for growth or expansion; (ix) potential for profit; (x) public recognition and acceptance of products, services or trades; (xi) name identification; and (xii) other factors that we consider relevant. As part of our investigation of the business opportunity, we expect to meet personally with management and key personnel. To the extent possible, we intend to utilize written reports and personal investigation to evaluate the above factors.
We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019
We are a publicly quoted real estate development company seeking to develop or redevelop residential, commercial or mixed-use properties

The decrease was primarily due to the fact that during the three months ended June 30, 2019 we incurred $5,680 more in professional fees, $2,450 more in travel fees and $721 more in office fees than during the three months ended June 30, 2020.These additional costs were incurred in respect of the Company’s efforts to become a fully reporting SEC company.

Loss before Income Tax
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred a net loss before income taxes of $35,765 compared to $43,192 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to the factors discussed above.
Provision for Income Tax
No provision for income taxes was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019 as we incurred taxable losses in both periods.
| 14 |

The decrease was primarily due to the fact that during the six months ended June 30, 2019 we issued 883,041 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued at $75,500, as compensation to one of our directors and officers who is also our principal shareholder. No such compensation was issued during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The balance of the decrease of $10,096 related to reductions of $6,898 in professional fees, $2,451 in travel coats and $838 in office expenses that were incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2019 with respect to the Company’s efforts to become a fully reporting SEC company.

Interest and Other Income (Expenses)
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $4,420 in related party interest expense compared to $1,614 for the same period ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $2,806.

Loss before Income Tax
During the six months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss before income taxes of $72,588 compared to $155,378 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the factors discussed above.

We are dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute our business plan to become a profitable real estate development company seeking to develop or redevelop residential, commercial or mixed used properties. In addition, we are dependent upon our controlling shareholder to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may not be able to implement our plan of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
All companies are required to include a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of their financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of our Financial Statements on page 9. These policies were selected because they represent the more significant accounting policies and methods that are broadly applied in the preparation of our financial statements.

In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future.
Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Per SEC regulations, we are required to disclose our off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. As of June 30, 2020, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.

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
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer/principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures and determined that they are ineffective. Due to the lack of personnel and outside directors, management acknowledges that there are deficiencies in these controls and procedures. The Company anticipates that with further resources, the Company will expand both management and the board of directors with additional officers and independent directors in order to provide sufficient disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
