Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting

Basis of Accounting

 

Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Kuvera, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, Razor Data Corp., S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, SafeTek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, and Kuvera France S.A.S. We have determined that one affiliated entity, Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., which we conduct business with, is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary of the entity’s activities, which are similar to those of Kuvera, LLC. As a result, we have consolidated the accounts of this variable interest entity into the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, because we do not have any ownership interest in this variable interest entity, we have allocated the contributed capital in the variable interest entity as a component of noncontrolling interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these 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 amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Exchange

Foreign Exchange

 

We have consolidated the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. into our consolidated financial statements. The operations of Kuvera France S.A.S. are conducted in France and its functional currency is the Euro. The operations of Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. are conducted in Colombia and its functional currency is the Colombian Peso.

 

The financial statements of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. are prepared using their respective functional currency and have been translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities are translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Stockholders’ equity is translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments are included as foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income in our stockholders’ equity (deficit).

 

The following rates were used to translate the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. into USD at the following balance sheet dates:

 

    March 31,
2019
    March 31,
2018
 
Euro to USD     1.12200       n/a  
Colombian Peso to USD     0.00031       0.00036  

 

The following rates were used to translate the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. into USD for the following operating periods:

 

    Year ended March 31,  
    2019     2018  
Euro to USD     1.13580       n/a  
Colombian Peso to USD     0.00033       0.00034  

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentration of credit risk include cash, accounts receivable, and advances. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, cash balances that exceeded FDIC limits were $0 and $1,095,329, respectively, and we have not experienced significant losses relating to these concentrations in the past.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no cash equivalents.

Receivables

Receivables

 

Receivables are carried at net realizable value, representing the outstanding balance less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual receivables and receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. We had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies

 

We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets (“cryptocurrencies”) and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other current assets. We record cryptocurrencies at fair market value and recognize the change in the fair value of our cryptocurrencies as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the fair value of our cryptocurrencies was $142,061 and $480,370, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $16,241 and $106,488 as realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2018, we recorded $(10,939) and $(135,729) as realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment   10 years  
Computer equipment   3 years  

 

When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

 

Fixed assets are presented net of accumulated depreciation of $12,505 and $7,173, as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, was $5,332 and $2,639, respectively.

Long-lived Assets - Intangible Assets & License Agreement

Long-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement

 

We account for our intangible assets and long-term license agreement in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Further, ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires an intangible asset to be amortized over its useful life and for the useful life to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.

 

In June of 2017 we issued 80,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $2,256,000 for a 15-year license agreement. Annual amortization over the 15-year life is expected to be $150,400 per year. Amortization recognized for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, was $150,400 and $122,380, respectively, and the long-term license agreement was recorded at a net value of $1,983,220 and $2,133,620 as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

In June of 2018 we purchased United Games, LLC and United League, LLC and recorded the transaction as a business combination (see Note 5). Intangible assets acquired in the business combination were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are being amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 and beyond     281,670  
    $ 1,576,685  

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by us be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.

 

We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:

 

  Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access.
     
  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including:

 

  - quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
  - quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
  - inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
  - inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

  Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows).

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of March 31, 2019:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Cryptocurrencies   $ 142,061     $ -     $ -     $ 142,061  
Total Assets   $ 142,061     $ -     $ -     $ 142,061

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective April 1, 2018, we adopted the ASC Subtopic 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The adoption of ASC 606-10 had no impact on prior year or previously disclosed amounts. In accordance with ASC 606-10, revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract.

 

The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.

 

We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency mining services to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. Our performance obligation is to arrange for the third-party to provide mining services to our customers and payment is received at the time of purchase, therefore revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment. We recognize revenue in the amount of the fee to which we are entitled to as an agent, or the amount of consideration that we retain after paying the third-party the consideration received in exchange for the services the third-party is to provide.

 

We generate revenue from the sale of high-speed computer processing equipment that is used for any of the following intense processing activities: protein folding, CGI rendering, game streaming, machine & deep learning, mining, independent financial verification, and general high-speed computing. Our performance obligation is to deliver an equipment package to our customers that includes hardware, software, and firmware and is drop-shipped to a hosting data center. We receive payment at the time of purchase and recognize revenue when the equipment package is delivered and ready for maintenance and hosting, which our customers arrange for, and obtain, from a separate third party that provides such services.

 

Revenue generated for the year ended March 31, 2019, was as follows:

 

    Subscription

Net revenue   $ 13,899,579     $ -     $ 4,017,853     $ 17,917,432  

 

Advertising, Selling, and Marketing Costs

Advertising, Selling, and Marketing Costs

 

We expense advertising, selling, and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising, selling, and marketing costs include costs of promoting our product worldwide, including promotional events. Advertising, selling, and marketing expenses for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, totaled $878,936 and $454,225, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

We have adopted ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.

Net Income (loss) Per Share

Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

We follow ASC Subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share, which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options, and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.

 

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

 

    March 31,
2019
    March 31,
2018
 
Convertible notes payable     -       -  
Options to purchase common stock     35,000       35,000  
Warrants to purchase common stock     5,052,497       6,169,497  
Notes convertible into common stock     52,162,055       -  
Total     57,249,552       6,204,497
