NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Going Concern

 

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the nine-month transitional period ended October 31, 2021 and the twelve month period ended January 31, 2021, the Company’s management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on the issuance dates of the financial statements which indicated the probable likelihood that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

As part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, which included the profitability of the Company and the cash flow generated by its operations, and the amount of capital recently and/or in the process of being raised.

 

Working capital at October 31, 2021 improved by $5,432,750 to $18,694,687 as of October 31, 2021 from $13,261,937 as of January 31, 2021.

 

As a result of 170,000 warrants exercised in July 2021 and 496,429 shares of the Company’s stock (together with the same number of warrants to purchase shares of common stock) sold in a public offering in October 2021, the Company issued 666,429 shares of common stock and raised net proceeds of $4,047,253.

 

As of October 31, 2021, the Company had $16,797,656 in its operating bank accounts and for the nine-month transition period ending October 31, 2021, the Company generated $1,271,119 cash from operations.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Technology Group Pty Ltd. (after January 19, 2021). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Common Control Asset Acquisition

 

A common-control transaction is a transfer of net assets or an exchange of equity interests between entities under the control of the same parent. On January 19, 2021, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd (GTG), an Australian Company, wholly-owned by Mr. Goodman. Mr. Goodman is also a controlling party of the Company via his stock holding in Luxor Capital, LLC, which has a controlling vote of greater than 50%. As such the acquisition of GTG was a common control acquisition.

 

The accounting and reporting for a transaction between entities under common control is addressed in the “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control” subsections of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-50. ASC 805-50, which requires that the receiving entity recognize the net assets received at their historical carrying amounts.

 

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 at the date of the balance sheet. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contingent liability, stock-based compensation, warrant valuation and collectability of accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The functional currency of our foreign operations is generally the local currency. For these foreign entities, we translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the period for income statement amounts and using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities. We record these translation adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of Equity, in our consolidated balance sheets. We record exchange gains and losses resulting from the conversion of transaction currency to functional currency as a component of other income (expense), net.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $168,557 and $168,557, respectively. During the nine-month transition period ending October 31, 2021, there was no bad debt expense recorded.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are capitalized when a future benefit is determined. Intangible assets are amortized over the anticipated useful live of the intangible asset.

 

Impairment of Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

 

1.

Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results;

 

2.

Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

 

3.

Significant negative industry or economic trends.

      

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. On March 1, 2021, the Company purchased the Aggregation Platform from Gamefish Global Pty Ltd for $174,000, its sole intangible asset. The Company incurred amortization expense related to its intangible assets of $38,737, $0, $0 and $0 during the nine months ended October 31, 2021, the twelve month ended January 31, 2021, six months ended January 31, 2020 and twelve months ended July 31, 2010, respectively.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day-to-day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. All costs associated with the websites are subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period.  No website development costs, or related costs were incurred at October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by ASC 985-20-25 “Accounting for the Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.  No software development costs, or related costs were incurred at October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring 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). These tiers include:

 

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; and

 

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Our financial instruments mainly include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, consideration payable and advances from shareholder. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Stock-based compensation expense is recorded as a result of stock options granted in return for services rendered. Previously, the share-based payment arrangements with employees were accounted for under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services are accounted for under ASC 505-50. ASC 505-50 differs significantly from ASC 718. On June 20, 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The Company has adopted the new standard and has made some adjustment with regard to the share-based compensation costs in July 2019. Under ASU 2018-07, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee share-based payments is generally fixed on the grant date, and the options are no longer revalued on each reporting date. The expenses related to the share-based compensation are recognized on each reporting date. The amount is calculated as the difference between total expenses incurred and the total expenses already recognized.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards 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. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.

 

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the nine-month transition period ending October 31, 2021, the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, the six months ended January 31, 2020, and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019:

Revenues

 

The Company has one operating segment which is gaming.

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams within its gaming operating segment: one is generated via usage of the Company’s software and the other is a royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content.

 

 

1.

For the usage of the Company’s software, the Company charges gaming operators for the use of its unique intellectual property (IP) and technology systems.

 

2.

For the royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content, the Company acquires the third-party gaming content for a fixed cost and resells the content at a margin.

 

According to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, our company recognizes revenues with the following steps:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer

Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

For the usage of the Company’s software, the Company provides services to the counterparty which include licensing the use of its unique IP and technology systems. The counterparty pays consideration in exchange for those services which include a variable amount depending on the Software Usage. The Company only recognizes the revenue at the month end when the usage occurs and the revenue is based on the actual Software Usage of its customers.

 

For the royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content, the Company acts as a distributor of the third-party gaming content which is utilized by the client. The counterparty pays consideration in exchange for the gaming content utilized. The Company only recognizes the revenue at the month end when the usage of the gaming content occurs and the revenue is based on the actual usage of the gaming content.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under such guidance, lessees are required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the balance sheet as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard was adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not have any lease agreements or have any contracts that contain lease elements.

 

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

 

For public business entities (PBEs), the amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted if financial statements have not yet been issued (for PBEs), but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606. If early adoption is elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must be adopted in the same period. In addition, if early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.

 

The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 in the 2019 fiscal year, and has adjusted the share-based compensation costs during that fiscal year. The Company's management believes the new standard can best represent the Company’s operating results. The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies. Decreased demand for our products and services caused by COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Separately, economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative effect on the demand for our products, services and our operating results. The range of possible impacts on the Company’s business from the coronavirus pandemic could include, but are not limited to: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products and services; (ii) the closure of, or reduction in the number of persons who may be present in, establishments using the Company’s technology (resulting in a decrease in demand for such technology); (iii) travel restrictions and stay at home orders; (iv) recessions and other economic contractions which may decrease the amount of discretionary spending available to consumers and/or the amount such consumers are willing to spend; and (v) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, our operations have not been materially negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic although much of the Company’s work was performed in the commuter environment, as opposed to the office setting.
