2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
These consolidated management accounts include
the management accounts of the Company and that of its wholly owned subsidiary, Technopreneurs Resource Centre Private Limited
, as referred to in note 1 above.
The results of subsidiaries acquired during
the year are included from the effective date of acquisition.
All material intra group transactions and balances
have been eliminated on consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Companys financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management
makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when
the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company relies on leased hardware and software
from third parties to offer its e-commerce solutions and services. Management believes that alternate sources are available; however,
disruption or termination of these relationships could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term. The Company currently
has two customers who provide all of the Companys recurring revenue. Loss of any one of these customers would have a significant
impact on the Companys revenue.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid
instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
EQUIPMENT
Equipment is carried at cost less a provision
for depreciation on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful life of the computer equipment is
3 years.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock based compensation
by recognizing the fair value of stock compensation as an expense in the calculation of net income (loss). The Company recognizes
stock compensation expense in the period in which the employee is required to provide service, which is generally over the vesting
period of the individual equity instruments. Stock options issued in lieu of cash to non-employees for services performed are recorded
at the fair value of the options at the time they are issued and are expensed as service is provided.
EARNINGS /(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock
is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period, including vested and unvested stock options that are in the money.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys financial instruments consist
of cash, accounts payable, interest payable, shareholder loans and other current liabilities. The carrying values of financial
instruments reflected in these financial statements approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from providing
hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue
when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been
provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Companys technology is used to provide hosting and
integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees
is probable. We account for our multi-element arrangements, such as instances where we design a custom website and separately offer
other services such as hosting, which are recognized over the period for when services are performed.
COST OF SERVICE
Cost of service results from sourcing technical
and engineering personnel in Asia on an hourly or project basis in order to develop e-commerce solutions and provide ongoing hosting
service to individual customers. The Company utilizes an outsourced staffing firm with offices in China.
CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE
The Company accounts for internal-use software
and website development costs, including the development of its partner marketplaces in accordance with ASC 350-50 ( Intangibles
Website cost ). The Company capitalizes internal costs consisting of payroll and direct payroll-related costs
of employees who devote time to the development of internal-use software, as well as any external direct costs. It amortizes these
costs over their estimated useful lives, which typically range between three to five years. The Companys judgment is required
in determining the point at which various projects enter the stages at which costs may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing
value of the capitalized costs, and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. The estimated
life is based on managements judgment as to the product life cycle. Development cost of various platforms is being expensed.
The Company cannot separate internal cost on a reasonably cost-effective basis between maintenance and upgrades, and cannot assess
the ongoing value of its various projects, thus all project costs are expensed as such costs are incurred.
DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Expenditure on research activities is expensed
in the period in which it is incurred.
The development cost of CreateApp Version 2
has been capitalized as the following has been demonstrated by Technopreneurs Resource Centre Private Limited :
·
Technical feasibility of application of CreateApp Version 2 is proven with additional functionality
being added and enhanced;
·
Launched in August 2015 and currently in use by existing customers;
·
Ability to measure reliably the total expenditure required.
The development costs of CreateApp Version
2 are amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for using the asset
and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using current tax rates on the difference between
the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The Company provides a valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement
benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position
following an audit. For tax positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit
that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company
recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying statements
of operation. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability in the balance sheets.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There were various other accounting standards
and interpretations recently issued, none of which is expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations
or cash flows.
