Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Mobetize
Corp.
(Mobetize)
was
incorporated
in
the
state
of
Nevada on February
23, 2012,
as
Slavia, Corp. Mobetizes name became Mobetize Corp on August 13, 2013.
Mobetize
provides
Fintech
solutions
and
services
to
enable
and
support
the
convergence
of
global
telecom
and
financial
services
providers
(Customers)
through
its
Global
Mobile
B2B
Fintech
and
Financial
Services
Marketplace
(Hub).
Mobetizes
activities
are
subject
to
significant
risks
and
uncertainties,
including
the
need
to
secure
additional
funding
to
optimize
Mobetizes
existing
technology to effective counter competitive products.
Mobetizes
unaudited
consolidated
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally accepted in the United States.
These unaudited
consolidated financial statements
include
the
accounts
of
Mobetize
and
its
wholly
owned subsidiaries, Mobetize
Canada
Inc., and
Mobetize USA Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The
accompanying
unaudited
consolidated
financial
statements
of
Mobetize
should
be
read
in
conjunction
with
the
financial
statements
and
accompanying
notes
filed
with
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
in
Mobetizes
Annual
Report
on
Form
10-K
for
the
fiscal
year
ended
March
31,
2016.
In
the
opinion
of
management,
the
accompanying
financial
statements
reflect
all
adjustments
of
a recurring nature
considered
necessary to
present
fairly Mobetizes
financial
position
and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
amounts
reported.
Actual
results
could
differ
materially
from
those
estimates.
The
results
of
operations
and
cash
flows
for
the
periods
shown
are
not
necessarily
indicative
of
the
results
to
be
expected
for
the
full year.
Going Concern
These
unaudited
consolidated
financial
statements
have been
prepared
on
a
going
concern
basis,
which
implies
that
Mobetize
will
continue
to
realize
assets
and
discharge
liabilities
in
the
normal
course
of
business.
As
of
December
31,
2016,
Mobetize
has
an
accumulated
deficit
of
$7,071,813,
a
history
of
net
losses
and
a
working
capital
deficiency
of
$710,669.
These
factors
raise
substantial
doubt
regarding
Mobetizes
ability to
continue
as
a
going
concern.
The
continuation
of
Mobetizeas
a
going
concern
is
dependent
upon
continuing
financial
support
from
management,
increasing
sales,
securing
debt
or
equity
financing,
cutting
operating
costs,
launching
viable
products,
and
realizing
profitable
operations.
These
financial
statements
do
not
include
any adjustments
to
the
recoverability
and
classification
of
recorded
asset
amounts
and
classification
of
liabilities
that
might
be
necessary
should Mobetize be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
a)
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the
accounting
for
stock
based
performance
awards
that
the
performance
target
could
be
achieved
after the employee
completes the required service period. The update is effective prospectively or
retrospectively
for
annual
reporting
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2015.
The
Company
adopted
this
ASU
on
April
1,
2016,
prospectively. The
adoption
of
this
ASU
does
not
have
a
material effect on Mobetizes consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2015,
an
ASU
was
issued
to
simplify the
income
statement
presentation
requirements
in
Subtopic
225-20
by
eliminating
the
concept
of
extraordinary
items. Extraordinary
items
are
events
and
transactions
that
are
distinguished
by
their
unusual
nature
and
by
the
infrequency
of
their occurrence. Eliminating
the extraordinary
classification simplifies
income statement
presentation
by
altogether
removing
the
concept
of
extraordinary
items
from
consideration.
This
ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods
within those annual periods. An entity may apply this ASU prospectively or retrospectively to all
prior
periods
presented
in
the
financial
statements.
Early adoption
is
permitted.
Mobetize
adopted
this
ASU
on
April
1,
2016,
prospectively. The
adoption
of
this
ASU
does
not
have
a
material effect on Mobetizes consolidated financial statements.
b)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
May
2014,
ASU
guidance
was
issued
related
to
revenue
from
contracts
with
customers.
The
new standard
provides a
five-step
approach
to be
applied to
all contracts
with
customers and also
requires
expanded
disclosures
about
revenue
recognition.
The
ASU
is
effective
for
annual
reporting
periods
beginning
after
December
15, 2017,
including
interim
periods
and
is
to
be
retrospectively
applied.
Early
application
is
permitted
only
as
of
annual
reporting
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2016,
including
interim
reporting
periods
within
that
reporting
period.
Mobetize
is
currently
evaluating
this
guidance
and
the
impact
it
will
have
on
its
consolidated financial statements.
In
November
2015,
an
ASU
was
issued
to
simplify
the
presentation
of
deferred
income
taxes.
The
amendments
in
this
ASU
require
that
deferred
tax
liabilities
and
assets
be
classified
as
non-
current
on
the
balance
sheet
as
compared
to
the
current
requirements
to
separate
deferred
tax
liabilities
and
assets
into
current
and
non-current
amounts.
This
ASU
is
effective
for
annual
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2016,
including
interim
periods
within
those
annual
periods.
Earlier
application
is
permitted. This
ASU
may
be
applied
either
prospectively
to
all
deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Mobetize is currently
evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements continued
b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
February
2016,
Topic
842,
Leases
was
issued
to
replace
the
leases
requirements
in
Topic
840,
Leases.
The
main
difference
between
previous
GAAP
and
Topic
842
is
the
recognition
of
lease
assets
and
lease
liabilities
by
lessees
for
those
leases
classified
as
operating
leases
under
previous
GAAP.
A
lessee
should
recognize
in
the
balance
sheet
a
liability
to
make
lease
payments
(the
lease
liability)
and
a
right-of-use
asset
representing
its
right
to
use
the
underlying
asset
for
the
lease
term.
For
leases
with
a
term
of
12
months
or
less,
a
lessee
is
permitted
to
make
an
accounting
policy
election
by
class
of
underlying
asset
not
to
recognize
lease
assets
and
lease
liabilities.
If
a
lessee
makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis
over
the lease term.
The accounting applied
by a
lessor is largely unchanged
from
that applied
under
previous
GAAP.
Topic
842
will
be
effective
for
annual
reporting
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2018,
including
interim
periods
within
those
annual
periods
and
is
to
be
retrospectively
applied.
Earlier
application
is
permitted.
Mobetize
is
currently evaluating this
guidance and
the impact
it
will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2016,
an ASU
was issued to reduce complexity in
the
accounting for employee
share-based
payment
transactions.
One
of
the
simplifications
relates
to
forfeitures
of
awards.
Under
current
GAAP, an entity estimates the number of
awards for which
the requisite service period
is expected to
be
rendered
and
base
the
accruals
of
compensation
cost
on
the
estimated
number
of
awards
that
will
vest. This ASU permits an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election either to estimate
the
number
of
forfeitures
expected
to
occur
or
to
account
for
forfeitures
in
compensation
cost
when
they
occur.
This
ASU
is
effective
for
annual
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2016,
including
interim
periods
within
those
annual
periods.
Earlier
application
is
permitted.
Mobetize
is
currently
evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
