| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
Use of Estimates The preparation of these statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of convertible debenture conversion options, deferred income tax asset valuations, financial instrument valuations, share-based payments, other equity-based payments, and loss contingencies. 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.
Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company derives revenues from the sale of application software, unlimited messaging subscriptions for periods varying from one to twelve months, and arrangements for virtual gifts and access to special features referred to as coin packs. Revenue from the sale of application software is recognized upon download. Revenue from messaging subscriptions is recognized as revenue ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the service is made available to customers. Revenue from coin packs is recognized on a consumption basis commensurate with the customer utilization of such resources.
Advertising Costs The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $299 (March 31, 2017: $1,397) in advertising costs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Intangible Assets The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company assesses potential impairments to intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered.
Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. If the future value of the asset is lower than its carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the related estimated fair value.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the intangible asset is impaired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows.
If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Stock-based Compensation The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, 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. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method in determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the terms 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 statement of comprehensive loss over the requisite service period.
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company monitors its outstanding receivables for timely payments and potential collection issues. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any allowance for doubtful accounts.
Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has become party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts payable and convertible debentures. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value, due to their short term nature, and current market rates for similar financial instruments. Fair value of a financial instrument 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. The Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
As of March 31, 2018, there were approximately 60,719,913,802 potentially dilutive shares outstanding.
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition -Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. ASU 2014-09 requires the disclosure of sufficient information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company will also be required to disclose information regarding significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. Early adoption is not allowed. ASU 2014-09 provides two methods of retrospective application. The first method would require the Company to apply ASU 2014-09 to each prior reporting period presented. The second method would require the Company to retrospectively apply with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
