Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. The Company was organized to develop high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries.
On January 24, 2024, the Company signed a memorandum of understand with the Vietnam Sericulture Association (“VSA”) and the Lam Dong Agro-Forestry Research & Experiment Center (“LAREC”) to enhance sericulture in Vietnam through the expanded application of the Company’s spider silk silkworm technology.
On March 5, 2018, the Company issued a board resolution authorizing investment in a Vietnamese subsidiary and appointing a representative for the subsidiary.
On April 24, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its investment registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd.
On May 1, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its enterprise registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of Prodigy Textiles, Co., Ltd. (the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary) whose functional currency is the Vietnamese Dong, are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates prior to consolidation. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the Company’s financial statements are reflected as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and settlement date.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at financial institutions, money market funds, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $2,047,307 and $2,551,834, in cash and cash equivalent accounts.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 260, “Earnings per Share.” For December 31, 2023 and 2022, warrants were not included in the computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock Warrants (Exercise price - $0.001- $0.25/share) | 66,335,714 | 67,335,714 |
| Stock Options (Exercise price - $0.1150/Share) | 26,520,000 | 26,520,000 |
| Convertible Preferred Stock | 3 | 2 |
| Total | 92,855,717 | 93,855,716 |
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use. These costs also include the expensing of employee compensation and employee stock based compensation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $29,435 and $69,092 respectively, in research and development costs
Advertising Expense
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. There wasno advertising expense in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC No. 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities 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. 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. Under ASC No. 740-10-25, 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees and directors in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and are recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718 and, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified as cash flows from operating activities. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASU 2018-07.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 was effective for the Company January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Equipment
The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life.
In accordance with FASB ASC No. 360,Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We hold certain financial assets, which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,“Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820-10”). ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Level 1 instruments include cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory and account payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values are assumed to approximate the fair value due to the short term nature of the instrument.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
| ● | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We believe our carrying value of level 1 instruments approximate their fair value at March 31, 2024 and 2023. |
| ● | Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We consider depleting assets, asset retirement obligations and net profit interest liability to be Level 3. We determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities utilizing various inputs, including NYMEX price quotations and contract terms. |
The following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques in all periods presented. The following table presents the Company’s assets which were measured at fair value at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The Board of Directors, who serves as the Custodian, is responsible for the safekeeping of gold bullion owned by the Company.
Fair value of the gold bullion held by the Company is based on that day’s London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Gold Price PM. “LBMA Gold Price PM” is the price per fine troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, determined by ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) following an electronic auction consisting of one or more 30-second rounds starting at 3:00 p.m. (London time), on each day that the London gold market is open for business and published shortly thereafter.
The fair value of the treasury bills is based on quoted market prices in an active market. The Company has determined the fair value based on financial factors that are considered level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
Money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government-backed securities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of the fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer.
The following tables summarize activity in gold bullion for the quarter ended March 31, 2024:
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 | Ounces | Cost | Fair Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance December 31, 2023 | 239 | $2,064 | $493,236 |
| Net change in unrealized gain | - | 182 | 43,563 |
| Balance March 31, 2024 | 239 | $2,246 | $536,799 |
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC No. 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC No. 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0 and $0 respectively in revenue.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company at times has cash and cash equivalents in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $1,943,692 and $2,409,486, respectively in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
On March 12, 2023, the U.S. government took extraordinary steps to stop a potential banking crisis after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank, assuring all depositors at the failed institution that they could access all their money quickly, even as another major bank was shut down. The Company had no exposure to a failed bank. The Company averts risks associated with such a crisis by holding minimum cash balances required for uninterrupted operations, federal funds money market fund, and U.S. government-backed securities. As of March 31, 2024, the Company held $1,943,692 million in a federal money market fund (the “Fund”) with an investment objective to seek to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and a stable share price of $1. The Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized solely by U.S. government securities or cash (collectively, government securities). As such it is considered one of the most conservative investment options offered.
Original Issue Discount
For certain notes issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to amortization of original issue discount in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the debt.
Debt Issue Cost
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Investments without a Readily Determinable Fair Value (Cost Method)
Investments in nonmarketable entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence, our “Cost Method Investments,” are accounted for at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
The Company holds a 15% direct equity investment in Global Silk Solutions Joint Stock Company, a private Company (see deposit on inventory above). We received this investment in exchange for nominal consideration, and carry the investment at $0 on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $6,898,293 and stockholders’ deficiency of $6,242,029 and used $489,527 of cash in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 EQUIPMENT
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, property and equipment, net, is as follows:
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | Estimated Useful Lives (Years) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automobile | $41,805 | $41,805 | 5 |
| Laboratory Equipment | 130,310 | 130,310 | 5-10 |
| Office Equipment | 7,260 | 7,260 | 5-10 |
| Leasehold Improvements | 82,739 | 82,739 | 2-5 |
| Less: Accumulated Depreciation | (202,203) | (195,474) | |
| Total Property and Equipment, net | $59,911 | $66,640 |
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was $6,729 and $6,617, respectively.
NOTE 4 -RIGHT TO USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITY
We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the leases in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.
We have a lease agreement with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because our lease does not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
In general, leases, where we are the lessee, may include options to extend the lease term. These leases may include options to terminate the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending on the nature of the leased asset. Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date.
Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred. Amortization of finance lease assets is recognized over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending on the nature of the leased asset.
Interest expense on finance lease liabilities is recognized over the lease term in interest expense.
