1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

 

Mobetize Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 23, 2012, as Slavia, Corp. On August 13, 2013, its name changed to “Mobetize Corp.” The Company 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. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to secure additional funding to optimize the Company’s existing technology. 

 

On July 11, 2017, the Company completed a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares on a one for one hundred (1/100) basis and a decrease in the number of its authorized common and preferred shares. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share consolidation.  

 

Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,090,328, a history of net losses and a working capital deficiency of $1,247,870. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as 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 consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 31, 2018. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the year ending March 31, 2018.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mobetize Canada Inc., and Mobetize USA Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the collectability of accounts receivable, revenue recognition, useful life of long-lived assets, fair value of stock-based compensation, embedded derivative liabilities and beneficial conversion features of convertible debentures, fair values of shares issued for non-cash consideration, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.

 

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.

 

Financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related party, promissory note and promissory note – related party are carried at amortized cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at June 30, 2018 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

          Quoted Prices     Significant Other     Significant  
    June 30,     in Active Markets     Observable Inputs     Unobservable Inputs  
    2018     (Level 1 )     (Level 2 )     (Level 3 )  
Assets:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Topic 842, Leases 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. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) 2016-18, requiring that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of- period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Consequently, any transfers between cash and restricted cash are not presented as a separate line item in the operating, investing or financing sections of the cash flow statement. The amendments were effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 has had only a limited impact on the presentation of the statement of cash flows.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, requiring certain changes to the recognition and measurement as well as disclosure of incurred and expected credit losses. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, requiring certain changes to the presentation and disclosures of changes to liability or equity classification of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

3. Joint Venture

 

On January 12, 2017, the Company entered into a Gateway License Agreement and Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) with CPT Secure, Inc. (“CPT”), a company controlled by a shareholder of the Company, to further develop certain payment processing technology (“CPT IP”) on a 50/50 basis. The Company issued 500,000 Series B Preferred Shares with a fair value of $125,000 to CPT for a license to use the CPT IP. The license has a term of two years that can be automatically renewed for successive two-year periods unless either party elects not to renew 60 days prior to expiration. The license fee of $125,000 is being amortized over the initial term of the license. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized amortization of $10,103 prior to the transfer of the license, which amount has been included in research and development expense. 

 

On May 29, 2017, the Company and CPT incorporated a joint venture company, MPAY Gateway Services Inc. (“MPAY”). The Company subsequently transferred the remaining carrying value of the license in the amount of $101,541 to MPAY, which has been presented on the balance sheet as an investment in joint venture. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a loss on joint venture of $7,791 (2017 - $2,740), representing the Company’s 50% interest in the loss of MPAY.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, equipment cost decreased by $30, and accumulated amortization increased by $49 as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

5. Promissory Notes

 

On June 26, 2018, the Company issued an unsecured Promissory Note to one of its shareholders in the amount of $25,000, which bears interest at 12% per annum that matures on June 25, 2019.

All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share consolidation.

 

b) Authorization and Issuance of Series A Preferred Shares:

 

The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and has designated 10,000,000 of the preferred stock as Series A Preferred Shares (“Series A Preferred Shares”). The Series A Preferred Shares have the same rights and privileges as the common stock, with the exception that the Series A Preferred Share holder has 10 votes per Series A Preferred Share versus one vote per share of common stock and does not have the right to sell the shares for a period of two years from the date of issue.
Effective April 7, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized preferred shares from 250,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share to 75,000,000 with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Citation declared that Fowler is owed $45,000 in wages in addition to an assessed interest of $3,368, and a penalty of $4,500. On November 8, 2016, the Company entered an appeal alleging that the calculation of amounts due to Fowler was incorrect and that Fowler had improperly obtained shares of its common stock which it intends to recover. The Company received a response from the Department of Labor and Industries dated November 18, 2016, in which it was advised that Fowler’s claim had been transferred to the Office of the Attorney General and that a hearing on the matter would be held by the Office of Administrative Hearings.

He also asserts that his shareholdings in the Company have been diluted due to certain actions of its directors, making claims including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation and conspiracy. The Company and its directors believe that Fowler’s claims are without merit and are intent on putting up a vigorous defense. Further, the Company has advanced counterclaims against Fowler, including a claim that that while an officer and director of the Company, he caused it to issue shares to himself to which he was not entitled. The Company’s counterclaims also assert claims against Fowler of fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and unjust enrichment. On June 23, 2017, the Company filed its response to Fowler’s claims and its own counterclaims against Fowler. No further steps in this action have been taken, and no trial date has been set.

Revenues

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, Mobetize generated revenue of $88,756, as compared to revenues of $115,730 during the same period in 2017, a decrease of 23%. Revenues in both three-month periods were generated from consulting, contract development work, licensing services, providing professional services, and payment processing for our Customers. The decrease in revenues over the comparative three month periods can be attributed to decreases in contract development revenue, professional service and consulting activity in the current three-month period over the corresponding prior period.

 

We expect that revenues will increase in future periods as Mobetize anticipates additional contract development revenue, professional service activity, licensing revenue, and its first transactional revenues in the last quarter of 2018.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are outlined in the following table:

 

    2018   2017
Depreciation     803       771

Total Operating Expenses     248,392       490,516  
Loss Before Other Items     (159,636 )     (374,786 )

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, operating expenses were $248,392 as compared to $490,516 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of 49%. The decreases in operating expenses for the current three-month period can be primarily attributed to the decrease in professional fees and research and development expenses. The decrease in professional fees and research and development costs in the can be attributed to a fall in the costs associated with ongoing litigation that have in turn caused us to curtail our research and development budget.

 

We expect that operating expenses will increase over future periods as Mobetize focuses on joint research and development activities, enhances its product pipeline, and grows its revenue model.

 

Net Losses

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, net loss was $167,427 as compared to $392,202 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of 57%. The decrease in net losses for the current three-month period can be primarily attributed to the decrease in operating expenses over the prior comparable three-month period.

 

  21  

 

 

We believe that net losses will continue to decrease over future periods as revenue is expected to grow while management renews its commitment to operating efficiencies to deliver the most cost-effective expansion of our business model.

The change in cash used in operating activities over the comparative periods, is primarily attributed to payments towards accounts payable and the outstanding accounts owed to related parties.

Cash flows used in Investing Activities

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, Mobetize used $nil in investing activities.

 

Mobetize expects to use cash flow in investing activities in future periods as it will require additional investment in equipment and research and development to expand its business.

 

Cash flows provided by Financing Activities

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, Mobetize realized $203,024 in proceeds provided by financing activities compared to $nil in proceeds provided by financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The proceeds provided by financing activities in the current three-month period were realized in connection with related and non-related promissory notes.

 

Mobetize expects to realize cash flow from financing activities in future periods until such time as it can increase revenue to the point at which it can maintain operations and fund business growth.

 

Financing

 

We have financed operations to date from the proceeds of private placements of common stock, the exercise of warrants, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, and advances from directors and shareholders. Our business does anticipate increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures over the next twelve months in relation to: (i) product development; (ii) research and development to enhance existing products and create new ones; (iii) marketing expenses; and (iv) ongoing professional fees. We expect that our working capital requirements will be funded over this period by a combination of revenue, shareholder debt or equity private placements of our securities and if necessary, shareholder loans. Despite our expectation, we have no agreements to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Our only expectation is that DPL will complete the financing described below, which completion can in no way be assured. Since we have no financing committed, our inability to realize financing would materially restrict our operations.

 

On August 14, 2018, Mobetize signed a non-binding letter of intent with DPL pursuant to which DPL will invest $500,000 into Mobetize. The letter of intent also anticipates DPL’s use of our Services.

 

Mobetize has adopted a stock option plan pursuant to which it can grant up to 30,000 (post consolidation) options to purchase shares of its common stock to employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors on the terms and conditions set forth therein. As of June 30, 2018, 20,000 options with an exercise price of $60 remain outstanding, 19,765 of which have vested.

 

Mobetize has no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements in place.

 

Mobetize has no commitments for future capital expenditures that are material.

 

Mobetize has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

 

Mobetize has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

 

Mobetize does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The independent auditors' report accompanying our March 31, 2018, financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2018, Mobetize had an accumulated deficit of $9,090,328, a history of net losses and cash used in operating activities, and a working capital deficiency of $1,247,870. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding Mobetize’s ability to continue as a going concern. Mobetize’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued financial support from management, increasing revenue, realizing additional debt or equity financing, decreasing operating costs and producing commercially viable products. Nonetheless, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that Mobetize will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements. While the selection and application of any accounting policy may involve some level of subjective judgments and estimates, we believe that accounting policies identified in Note 2 are the most critical to our consolidated financial statements, potentially involve the most subjective judgments in their selection and application, and are the most susceptible to uncertainties and changing conditions.

 

Mobetize recognizes revenue from payment processing, licensing, and provision of professional services. Revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Mobetize records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. Mobetize uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by Mobetize’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to Mobetize’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss over the requisite service period. Options granted to consultants are valued at the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or the fair value of the services received, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Embedded Conversion Features

 

Mobetize evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income (loss). If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Mobetize does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Mobetize evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants and stock options, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.

 

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income (loss). For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, Mobetize uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, Mobetize records a Beneficial Conversion Feature and related debt discount.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on that evaluation, Mobetize’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Stephen Fowler

 

Mobetize received a Citation and Notice of Assessment dated October 14, 2016 (“Citation”), pursuant to which Stephen J. Fowler (Fowler), a former director and chief financial officer of Mobetize, had initiated a complaint with the State of Washington Department of Labor and Industries for amounts allegedly due to him for unpaid wages. The Citation declared that Fowler is owed $45,000 in wages in addition to an assessed interest of $3,368, and a penalty of $4,500. On November 8, 2016, Mobetize entered an appeal alleging that the calculation of amounts due to Fowler was incorrect and that Fowler had improperly obtained shares of its common stock which it intends to recover. Mobetize received a response from the Department of Labor and Industries dated November 18, 2016, in which it was advised that Fowler’s claim had been transferred to the Office of the Attorney General and that a hearing on the matter would be held by the Office of Administrative Hearings. A hearing date for this matter has been set for January 30, 2019, in Seattle, Washington. Mobetize believes that Fowler’s claims detailed in the Citation are without merit. However, the outcome of this proceeding cannot be reasonably determined at this time.

 

Mobetize received a Notice of Civil Claim dated April 26, 2017, (“Notice”), filed in British Columbia Supreme Court by Fowler naming Mobetize and its directors as defendants. Fowler asserts claims against Mobetize for unpaid expenses of approximately $6,000, and breach of contract. He also asserts that his shareholdings in Mobetize have been diluted due to certain actions of its current directors, making claims including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation and conspiracy. On June 23, 2017, Mobetize filed its response to Fowler’s claims and submitted its own claims. Mobetize’s claims include a claim that Fowler improperly issued shares to himself, is responsible for fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and unjust enrichment. Document discovery is at a standstill. No further steps in this action have been taken, and no trial date has been set. Mobetize believes that Fowler’s claims detailed in the Notice are without merit. However, the outcome of this litigation cannot be reasonably determined at this time.

 

Mobetize received a Complaint dated May 12, 2017, (“Fowler Complaint”), filed in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada by Fowler naming Mobetize and its directors as defendants. The Nevada action concerns substantially the same facts and the same relief as the Notice. Mobetize has taken the position that the filing of duplicative actions in two different jurisdictions constitutes an abuse of process and that British Columbia is the appropriate jurisdiction in which Fowler’s claims ought to be heard, and that the Nevada action ought to be dismissed or stayed for these same reasons. On June 23, 2017, Mobetize filed a Motion to Dismiss or in the alternative, an Application for Preliminary Injunction to either dismiss or stay the Fowler Complaint. A hearing was held and Mobetize’s Motion to Dismiss was denied. The Court did however determine to stay the action pending resolution of the action in British Columbia. No further steps in this action, have taken place and no trial date has been set. Mobetize believes that the claims detailed in the Fowler Complaint are without merit. However, the outcome of this litigation cannot be reasonably determined at this time.

Cary Fields

 

Mobetize received a Complaint dated May 3, 2017, (“Fields Complaint”), filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada (Clark County) by Cary Fields (“Fields”) naming Mobetize and its directors as defendants, to obtain a preliminary injunction to enjoin a consolidation of Mobetize’s common stock, and seek damages for breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and unjust enrichment. On May 18, 2017, the Court denied Fields’ application for injunctive relief but did not rule on the question of Fields’ alleged damages. On August 4, 2017, Fields filed an Amended Complaint seeking damages for breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and unjust enrichment. On November 17, 2017, the Company filed Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. The Court held hearings on the Motion on December 19, 2017 and on January 9, 2018 denied the Motion. A mandatory settlement conference was convened by the Court on July 30, 2018. On August 20, 2018, the parties to this action entered into Settlement Agreement. Mobetize, its directors and Fields filed a dismissal of the proceedings with the Court on September 18, 2018.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
