NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s year-end is August 31.

Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the Company’s fully owned subsidiary App Board Limited registered and located in Hong Kong. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern Uncertainties

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

As of August 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $6.6 million and a working capital deficit of $228,669. For the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3.6 million and the net cash used in operations was $5,141,166. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through August 31, 2022 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 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

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company’s planned operations are outside of the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk arises from the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degrees of volatility in these rates. Currently the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

Account Receivable

Account receivable consisted of amounts due from Anyone Pictures Limited for the sub-licensing fee revenue. Amount receivable balances are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. As the sublicensing agreement with Anyone Picture was terminated in January, 2021, there was no account receivable balance as of August 31, 2021. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. No amount for bad debt expense was recorded by the Company during the years ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, and no write-offs for bad debt were recorded for the years ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses primarily consist of prepayments of OTC market annual fee. The prepaid balances are amortized when the related expense is incurred.

Fixed Asset

Fixed asset consists of furniture and appliances acquired for the office. The balance is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives listed below:

	Estimated Useful Life
Furniture	7 years
Appliances	5 years

Leasehold Improvement

Leasehold improvement is related to the enhancements paid by the Company to leased office and store. Leasehold improvement represents capital expenditures for direct costs of renovation or acquisition and design fees incurred. The amortization of leasehold improvements commences once the renovation is completed and ready for the Company’s intended use. Leasehold improvement is amortized over the lease term of 3 years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at the lower of cost or amortized cost or estimated fair value and amortized as follows:

● Movie copyrights and broadcast rights: straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which has been determined by management to be 2 years

● Patent: straight-line method over the term of 5 years based on the patent license agreement 

Amortized costs of the intangible asset are recorded as cost of sales, as the intangible assets are directly related to generation of revenues in the Company.

Lease property under operating lease

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This guidance required organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition. Under this new guidance, a company applies the standard to leases in place as of the date of initial application, records a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the first day of the adoption year, and follows the new rules for all leases entered or modified going forward.  The Company adopted this new standard on June 1, 2020 with no retrospective adjustments to prior comparative periods. In accordance with ASC 250-10-45-14, a change in accounting principle made in an interim period shall be reflected as if the entity had adopted the new principle on the first day of the adoption year, which is September 1, 2019 for the Company. As such, the adoption of ASC 842 lease accounting standard has resulted in $196,813 lease liabilities with corresponding $201,025 ROU assets net of amortization as of September 1, 2019 based on the present value of the remaining rental payments under current leasing standards for existing leases. The remaining balance of lease liabilities are presented within the current portion of lease liabilities and the non-current portion of lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

Impairment of Long-lived asset

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives, for impairment. Intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired in accordance with ASC 350. Such impairment test compares the fair values of assets with their carrying values with an impairment loss recognized when the carrying values exceed fair values. For long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives that are

subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or a Group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value.

Impairment losses are included in the general and administrative expense. There was no impairment loss during the year ended August 31, 2021. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the impairment loss of intangible assets was $125,062, including $48,000 for the intellectual assets acquired from KryptoKiosk Limited and $77,062 for the performance matching platform “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” and its WeChat official account.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method.

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, 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:

● the contract with a customer;

● identify the performance obligations in the contract;

● determine the transaction price;

● allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

● recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company does not believe that significant management judgements are involved in revenue recognition, but the amount and timing of the Company’s revenues could be different for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606 for its performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue from sub-licensing a patent. The sub-licensing revenue is recognized monthly based upon the number of users who download the APP that utilizes the Company’s patent. The monthly royalty the Company charges Anyone Pictures Limited is $12.8 per 1000 APP users. Both parties agreed to charge the sublicensing fee based upon a fixed number 2,000,000 users. In January, 2021, our sublicensing agreement with Anyone Picture to generate revenues was terminated. As such, there has been no revenues generated from sub-licensing the Technology since the end of December, 2020. Once the Company finds another company to sublicense the patent, it will generate royalty revenue again.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 – Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities embedded in convertible notes are determined by level 3 inputs. 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815) and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet.

The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company's policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads (including for the Company's liabilities), relying first on observable data from active markets. Additional adjustments may be made for factors including liquidity, credit, bid/offer spreads, etc., depending on current market conditions. Transaction costs are not included in the determination of fair value. When possible, the Company seeks to validate the model's output to market transactions. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. Changes in fair value are recognized in the period incurred as either gains or losses.

Warrants

Warrants are classified as equity and the proceeds from issuing warrants in conjunction with convertible notes are allocated based on the relative fair values of the base instrument of convertible notes and the warrants by following the guidance of ASC 470-20-25-2 as below:

Proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants shall be accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. This usually results in a discount (or, occasionally, a reduced premium), which shall be accounted for as interest expense under Topic 835 Interest.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets

are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At August 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. Please see Note 14 for details.

Value-Added Taxes

The Company generates revenue in People's Republic of China (PRC) via the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform and is subject to a value-added tax at an effective rate of 6%. In accordance with PRC law, the Company is also subject to surcharges, which includes urban maintenance and construction taxes and additional education fees on VAT payable.

The Company’s revenue generated from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform is subject to VAT at a rate of 6% and subject to surcharges at a rate of 12% of the VAT payable.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. The earnings per share after the reverse stock split is presented retrospectively as if the reverse split had occurred at the very beginning of the business. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for warrants, options and restricted shares under treasury stock method, and for convertible debts under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period and excludes all potential common shares if their effects are anti-dilutive.

In accordance with the Company’s convertible note agreements, the Note Holders have the option to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest into common stock at a conversion price equal to a price which is 55% or 60% of the lowest trading price during the 10 or 20 days prior to the day that the Holder requests conversion. 55% is applicable to EMA Financial whereas 60% applies for the other counterparties. The lowest trading price during 10 days prior to conversion is applicable to East Capital and Fidelis Capital, whereas the other counterparties utilize the lowest trading price during the preceding 20 days. The number of diluted shares from convertible notes is calculated with the assumption of converting all the outstanding principal balance and unpaid interest expense to common shares at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later.

The number of diluted shares from warrants is the upper limit to which warrants can be converted into common shares and adjusted for anti-dilution clauses.

The Company has prepaid all the remaining convertible notes and exercised all the warrants as of August 31, 2021. As such, 0 potentially diluted shares were from convertible notes and warrants as of August 31, 2021, whereas 6,614,769 potentially diluted shares were from convertible notes and 68,163,661 potentially diluted shares were from warrants as of August 31, 2020.

Convertible notes		—		6,614,769

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance to address the income tax accounting treatment of the tax effects within other comprehensive income due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This guidance allows entities to elect to reclassify the tax effects of the change in the income tax rates from other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there was no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05: “Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118”. The amendments in this ASU add various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which expresses the view of the staff regarding application of Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes December 22, 2017 – the date on which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there was no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Effective September 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07: “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there was no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements related to recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing amounts and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new standard requires disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” to remove specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and to simplify accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815,” which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity investments under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.
