| 1. Nature and Continuance of Operations |
IGEN Networks Corp, (“IGEN”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 14, 2006. As of May 5, 2014 through the acquisition of Nimbo LLC based in Murrieta, California, the Company has focused on the automotive industry in offering GPS based services to the consumer through dealership channels across the United States. Services that are offered on an annual renewal basis include stolen vehicle protection solutions, lot inventory management, smart phone based roadside assistance programs, and real-time vehicle health and driver behavior information direct to the consumer.
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim 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.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which imply the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, on the ability of the Company to grow its revenue base, on its ability to successfully grow the companies in which it is invested, and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to both support the latter objectives and to invest in and grow new companies. The Company has recurring losses since inception, and incurred a net loss of $537,150 during the period ended June 30, 2017, and had accumulated losses of $9,049,460 and a working capital deficit of $931,652 as at June 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations into the future. These condensed consolidated interim 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. |
