Table of Contents

AMERICAN XANTHAN CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:


The following is a summary of our organization and significant accounting policies:


Organization and nature of business – American Xanthan Corporation (identified in these footnotes as “we” or the Company) is a Wyoming corporation incorporated on December 17, 2013.  We are currently based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, USA.  We intend to operate in the U.S. and Canada.  We intend to use December 31th as a fiscal year for financial reporting purposes.


Henry Luce, our president, owns 10,000,000 of the 25,500,000 outstanding shares (as of November 14th, 2014).


We are a manufacturing development stage company and anticipate acquiring, researching and developing Xanthan manufacturing capabilities.  We currently own the rights to a patent pending manufacturing process for Xanthan gum, described in more detail below.


We intend to engage a consulting firm to assist us in registering securities for trading by applying for a listing on the OTCQB.   In the current development stage, we anticipate incurring operating losses as we implement our business plan.


Basis of presentation - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to the applicable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.


Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments - The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.  We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative instruments in the management of our foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.

AMERICAN XANTHAN CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)


Other long-lived assets – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed principally using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when the fair value of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying value.  At the end of the current year, no impairment of long-lived assets had occurred, in management’s opinion.


Federal income taxes - Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with applicable FASB Statements regarding Accounting for Income Taxes , which require the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carryforwards.  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 Company provides deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is more likely than not.


Net income per share of common stock – We have adopted applicable FASB Statements regarding Earnings per Share, which require presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.   


Note 2 – Going concern:


At November 14, 2014, we were engaged in an operating business but expect to incur development stage operating losses until operations develop, and for a period of time thereafter.  We intend to rely on our officers and directors to perform essential functions without compensation until business operations generate sufficient revenues.   These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.   


The Company is actively working at removing this threat with the completion of our Public Offering. It will also rely on its shareholder for further capital investment if necessary.  The Offering raised $100,000, and the Company’s expenses related to the Offering and the expenses related to the Company have been covered. As of August 1st, the Company now has enough capital to execute its business plan.


Note 3 – Prepaid expenses, registration costs and related commitments:


We hired a consulting firm to assist us in listing our shares on a public exchange.   Although no written agreement has been executed yet, the consulting firm has verbally agreed to perform the services necessary for a flat fee of $11,000, of which $6,000 has already been paid and is included in Prepaid Expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.  The balance of the agreed upon fee will be payable in varying installments as specified events occur during the filing process. As of September 30, 2014, all the prepaid work had been done by the consulting firm and the prepaid amount is now an expense.

Note 4 – Agreement for the right to earn a license on a patent pending manufacturing process for Xanthan gum:

On December 18, 2013, we executed an Agreement for the right to earn a license on a patent pending manufacturing process for Xanthan gum with FracFlow Biotechnologies LP. (“FracFlow”), of Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.  Under the agreement, we agreed to acquire a license of Canadian patent pending # 2,808,286 and/or US patent pending # 61,923,357 (the “License”) which patent is held by FracFlow, and which comprises of a method to manufacture Xanthan gum from agricultural potato waste. The patent is registered with the Government of Canada, under the name of FracFlow, this License was conditional upon our completion of research and evaluation due diligence testing and our acceptance and satisfaction with the results obtained.


Conditional upon our satisfaction and acceptance, we agreed to pay FracFlow with 500,000 shares of our common stock.


FracFlow is not affiliated with our Company. FracFlow registered the patent with the Canadian patent office on February 27, 2013 and with the US patent office on December 5, 2013. .   


Note 5 - Federal income tax:


We follow applicable FASB Statements regarding Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.



The provision for refundable Federal income tax consists of the following:


  

  

Inception,
December 17, 2013

Through

September 30, 2014

Refundable Federal income tax attributable to:

  

 

  Current operations

  

$

0

  Nondeductible expenses

  

0

  Change in deferred tax valuation allowance

  

0

    Net refundable amount

  

0



The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:


  

  

Inception,

December 17, 2013

Through

September 30, 2014

Deferred tax asset attributable to:

  

 

  Net operating loss carryover

  

$

  Less, Valuation allowance

  

(0)

    Net deferred tax asset

  

  

  

  


At December 31, 2013, we did not have any unused net operating loss carryover available to offset future taxable income.

Note 8 – New accounting pronouncements:


The Company has reviewed all recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.


Note 9 – Subsequent Events:


On November 13, 2014 the Company issued 500,000 restricted common shares to FracFlow Biotechnologies LP in accordance with an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement that was disclosed in an 8-k filing dated November 13, 2014, in exchange for the rights to two patent pending technologies.


On August 1, 2014 the Company completed its initial public offering and issued a total of 10,000,000 common shares for total proceeds for $100,000.00.


The Company evaluates events and transactions after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. No reportable subsequent events were found.

Results of Operations


Quarter Ended September 30, 2014


We were incorporated on December 17, 2013 and completed our public offering on August 1, 2014.


On November 13, 2014, American Xanthan Corporation, entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement").   Pursuant to which the Company acquired: (i) all Intellectual Property rights, title and interest in Canadian Patent pending # 2,808,286 'Solid State Fermentation of Xanthan from Potato Pulp' (ii) all Intellectual Property rights, title and interest in US Patent pending #61,923,357 'Solid State Fermentation of Xanthan from Potato Pulp'.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 500,000 restricted shares of Company’s $0.001 par value common stock to FracFlow Biotechnologies LP.


Upon execution of the In Purchase agreement the Company ceased to be a shell Company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. The Company intends to pursue the development of operations through the acquisition and development of Xanthan production technologies.


TheAmerican Xanthan Corporation is in the business of acquiring, licensing and marketing patents and technology to manufacture Xanthan from potato waste.


We have $6,000.00 in prepaid expense.  We have no liabilities.  We had no revenues and incurred no expenses as of September 30, 2014.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.



Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this issue, and intends to developed procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
