Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Prior to February 24, 2022, ownership interest of non-controlling party is presented as mandatorily redeemable financial interest or non-controlling interest as applicable. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosure required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain 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. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of share-based compensation, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, implicit interest rate of operating and financing leases, valuation of asset retirement obligations and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

COVID-19

COVID-19

While the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, it has already had an adverse effect on the global economy and the lasting effects of the pandemic continue to be unknown. The Company may experience customer losses, including due to bankruptcy or customers ceasing operations, which may result in delays in collections or an inability to collect accounts receivable from these customers. The extent to which COVID-19 may continue to impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity continues to remain uncertain, and as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations

Pursuant to the lease agreements for the office space, the Company is responsible to restore these spaces back to its original statute at the time of leaving. The Company recognizes an obligation related to these restorations as asset retirement obligation included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 410, “Asset Retirement Obligation Accounting”. The Company capitalizes the associated asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related property and equipment. The following table presents changes in asset retirement obligations:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2022			2021
Beginning balance	$	155,666		$	173,043
Accretion expense		350			730
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(31,053	)		(18,107	)
Ending balance	$	124,963		$	155,666

Software Development Costs

Software Development Costs

Software development costs are expensed as incurred until the point the Company establishes technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between establishment of technological feasibility and the point at which the product is ready for general release are capitalized and amortized over the economic life of the related products. The Company’s software development costs incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not been significant and all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, software development costs expensed as incurred amounted to $583,762 and $321,857, respectively. These software development costs were included in the research and development expenses.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. There were no impairments of these assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”), and the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit).

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:

	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate		144.60		111.70
Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate		128.08		108.52

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with customers”.

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenue amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales is calculated at 10% of gross sales.

The Company currently generates its revenue from the following main sources:

Revenue from On-Premise Software

Licenses for on-premise software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. The Company provides on-premise software in the form of both perpetual licenses and term-based licenses which grant the customers with the right for a specified term. Revenue from on-premise licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Licenses for on-premise software are typically sold to the customer with maintenance and support services in a bundle. Revenues under the bundled arrangements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of on-premise software and maintenance and support service. The SSP for maintenance and support services is estimated based upon observable transactions when those services are sold on a standalone basis. The SSP of on-premise software is typically estimated using the residual approach as the Company is unable to establish the SSP for on-premise licenses based on observable prices given the same products are sold for a broad range of amounts (that is, the selling price is highly variable) and a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions or other observable evidence.

Revenue from Maintenance and Support Service

Maintenance and support services provided with software licenses consist of trouble shooting, technical support and the right to receive unspecified software updates when and if available during the subscription. Revenues from maintenance and support services are recognized over time as such services are performed. Revenues for consumption-based services are generally recognized as the services are performed and accepted by the customers.

Revenue from Software as a Service (“SaaS”)

The Company’s software is available for use as hosted application arrangements under subscription fee agreements without licensing the rights of the software to the customers. Subscription fees from these applications are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the customer agreement term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customer. The subscription contracts are generally one year or less in length.

Revenue from Software Development and other Miscellaneous Services

The Company provides customers with software development and support service pursuant to their specific requirements, which primarily compose of consulting, integration, training, custom application, and workflow development. The Company also provides other miscellaneous services, such as 3D Space photography. The Company generally recognizes revenue at a point in time when control is transferred to the customers and the Company is entitled to the payment, which is when the promised services are delivered and accepted by the customers.

Revenue from Consulting Service

The Company provides public listing related consulting services to customers pursuant to the specific requirements prescribed in the contracts, which primarily include communicating with intermediary parties, preparing required documents and supporting the listing process. Revenues from consulting services are recognized over time as such services are performed. The consulting service contracts are generally less than one year in length.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the customers. The Company records a contract asset, which is included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets, when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. The Company records deferred revenues on the consolidated balance sheets when revenues are recognized subsequent to cash collection for an invoice. Deferred revenues are reported net of related uncollected deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of revenues recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 that were included in the opening deferred revenues balance was approximately $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts by service types, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues by type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as following:

As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, and for the period then ended, all long-lived assets and the predominant portion of the revenue generated are attributed to the Company’s operation in Japan.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, customer A represents 10.0% of the Company’s total revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, customer B and C represent 18.5% and 10.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, vendor A, B, C, and D represent 25.9%, 19.7%, 16.3% and 15.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total purchases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, vendor A, B, and D represents 30.7%, 33.6%, and 23.2%, respectively, of the Company’s total purchases.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.
