Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1– Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six- and three-month periods ended October 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2019.

Note 2 – Going Concern Matters and Realization of Assets

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, in prior years, the Company sustained losses from its continuing operations and as of October 31, 2019, had negative working capital of $1,057,426 and an accumulated deficit of $2,500,207. In addition, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations as they become due and sustain its operations. The Company believes that its existing cash resources are not sufficient to fund its debt payments and working capital requirements.

The Company may not be able to raise sufficient additional debt, equity or other cash on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, achieve certain other business plan objectives or raise additional funds could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position, including its ability to continue as a going concern, and may require it to significantly reduce, reorganize, discontinue or shut down its operations.

In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in its existence.

Management’s plans include:

1. Seek to raise debt or equity for working capital purposes and to pay off existing debt balances. With sufficient additional cash available to the Company, it can begin to make marketing expenditures and hire people to generate more revenues to pay down its debt obligations.

2. Continue to look for software niches and other digital products that can be sold via an Internet-based store. Various acquisition opportunities may help us generate the additional revenues we seek.

3. Continue to provide advisory services to companies seeking to raise capital and assist them with capital raises.

Management has determined, based on its recent history and its liquidity issues that it is not probable that management’s plan will sufficiently alleviate or mitigate, to a sufficient level, the relevant conditions or events noted above. Accordingly, the management of the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its business plan objectives or be able to achieve or maintain cash-flow-positive operating results. If the Company is unable to generate adequate funds from operations or raise sufficient additional funds, the Company may not be able to repay its existing debt, continue to operate its business network, respond to competitive pressures or fund its operations. As a result, the Company may be required to significantly reduce, reorganize, discontinue or shut down its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 3 – Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition under ASC 606

The Company recognizes service revenue from its consulting contracts and its game website using the five-step model as prescribed by ASC 606:

• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

• Determination of the transaction price;

• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

• Recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

7

The Company identifies performance obligations in contracts with customers, which primarily are professional services and subscription services. The transaction price is determined based on the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the customer. The transaction price in the contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in an amount that represents the relative amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied. The Company usually bills its customers before it provides any services, and begins performing services after the first payment is received. Contracts are typically one year or less. For larger contracts, in addition to the initial payment, the Company may allow for progress payments throughout the term of the contract.

Judgments and Estimates

The estimation of variable consideration for each performance obligation requires the Company to make subjective judgments. The Company enters into contracts with customers that regularly include promises to transfer multiple services, such as digital marketing, web-based videos, offering statements, and professional services. For arrangements with multiple services, the Company evaluates whether the individual services qualify as distinct performance obligations. In its assessment of whether a service is a distinct performance obligation, the Company determines whether the customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other readily available resources, and whether the service is separately identifiable from other services in the contract. This evaluation requires the Company to assess the nature of each individual service offering and how the services are provided in the context of the contract, including whether the services are significantly integrated, highly interrelated, or significantly modify each other, which may require judgment based on the facts and circumstances of the contract.

When agreements involve multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to all performance obligations at the inception of an arrangement based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of each performance obligation. Where the Company has standalone sales data for its performance obligations which are indicative of the price at which the Company sells a promised service separately to a customer, such data is used to establish SSP. In instances where standalone sales data is not available for a particular performance obligation, the Company estimates SSP by the use of observable market and cost-based inputs. The Company continues to review the factors used to establish list price and will adjust standalone selling price methodologies as necessary on a prospective basis.

Service Revenue

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company's game website is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Professional services revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered.

When a contract with a customer is signed, the Company assesses whether collection of the fees under the arrangement is probable. The Company estimates the amount to reserve for uncollectible amounts based on the aging of the contract balance, current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. These reserves are recorded as operating expenses against the contract asset (Accounts Receivable).

Contract Assets

Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services. Contract assets are included in other current or non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period or beyond.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenues represent billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services and professional and training services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract

Sales commissions and related expenses are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. These costs are capitalized as other current or non-current assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, which approximates the benefit period. The benefit period was estimated by taking into consideration the length of customer contracts, technology lifecycle, and other factors. All sales commissions are recorded as consulting fees within the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company's subscription terms are typically less than one year. All of the Company’s revenues in the six-month periods ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, which amounted to $835,725 and $160,640, respectively, and all of the Company’s revenues in the three-month periods ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, which amounted to $716,993 and $68,722, respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $667 and $15,711, respectively, and is recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.

For the six- and three-month periods ended October 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding securities that were convertible into common stock. For the six- and three-month periods ended October 31, 2018, the Company excluded 18,000,000 shares of common stock, issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options from the calculation of net loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 5 – Principal Financing Arrangements

The following table summarizes components debt as of October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019:

October 31,

2019

April 30, 2019 Interest Rate
Secured lender (affiliate) $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 1.25 %
Notes payable – related parties 71,800 76,100 0.0 – 8.0 %
Demand notes payable 7,860 7,860 0.0 %
Loan payable – bank 34,324 34,324 5.5 – 7.0 %
Total Debt $ 1,113,984 $ 1,118,284

As of October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019, the Company owed its principal lender (“Lender”) $1,000,000 under a loan and security agreement (“Loan”) dated April 28, 2011, that was amended on July 26, 2014 and again on October 31, 2017. The Lender is also the largest shareholder of the Company, owning 271,371,454 shares of common stock, or 32.7% of the 830,644,212 shares issued and outstanding, as of October 31, 2019.

The Loan was amended on October 31, 2017 to change the maturity date to October 31, 2020, reduce the interest rate from 8% to 1.25% per annum, and reduce the default interest rate from 15% to 8% per annum (the “Amendments”). In conjunction with the Amendments, the Lender also agreed to reduce the total debt and accrued interest payable by $453,031 to $1,000,000, in exchange for the Company issuing to the Lender 44,198,246 shares of its common stock.  Consequently, upon issuance of the 44,198,246 shares, the Company recorded an increase of $44,198 in common stock and $408,833 in capital in excess of par value.

9

In connection with the financing, the Company has agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, that the Company may not convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any part of its business or property, except as permitted in the agreement, dissolve, liquidate or merge with any other party unless, in the case of a merger, the Company is the surviving entity, incur any indebtedness except as defined in the agreement, create or allow a lien on any of its assets or collateral that has been pledged to the Lender, make any loans to any person, except for prepaid items or deposits incurred in the ordinary course of business, or make any material capital expenditures. To secure the payment of all obligations to the Lender, the Company granted to the Lender a continuing security interest and first lien on all of the assets of the Company.

As of October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019, the Company’s related-party unsecured notes payable totaled $71,800 and $76,100, respectively. The Company also owes $34,324 as of October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019 to Chase Bank. Currently, the Company pays no monthly principal payments on the outstanding balance. The Company pays a variable monthly interest expense, which is calculated at a rate of 7.0% per annum at October 31, 2019.

The debt to Chase Bank was personally guaranteed by a former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board (the “Former CEO”). The Former CEO sold shares of the Company to a third-party, and in addition to payments to the Former CEO, the contract of sale required the third-party make monthly payments to Chase Bank to pay down the money owed to Chase Bank. Total payments received from the third-party in the six and three months ended October 31, 2018 amounted to $4,600 and $1,900, respectively. These payments were recorded as other income. No such payments were made in fiscal 2020.

Demand notes payable totaled $7,860 at October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019, and do not bear interest.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

At October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,300,000 expiring in the years of 2020 through 2035. Utilization of the net operating losses may be subject to annual limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar State provisions.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among numerous provisions, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As a result of the Tax Act, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%.

Due to the availability of a tax loss carryforward to offset any potential tax, for the six-and three-month periods ended October 31, 2019, the Company recorded no income tax expense in either of these periods. Due to the loss for the six and three-month periods ended October 31, 2018, the Company has recorded no income tax expense in either of these periods. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the federal and state jurisdictions for the years ended April 30, 2017 through 2019.

Note 9 – Fair Value

The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  • Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

  • Level 2: inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, we base fair value on 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. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon management’s own estimates, are often calculated based on current pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows that could significantly affect the results of current or future value.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a boutique advisory firm, based in Boston, Massachusetts. Our team of experts, including entrepreneurs, angel investors, industry specialists and digital marketing professionals work with companies at all stages to provide assistance with capital raising, strategy, technology consulting and marketing.

We specialize in Regulation Crowdfunding (“Reg CF”), under the provisions of Title III of the JOBS Act of 2012. We believe that new capital raising techniques, such as Reg CF, democratize capital raising, similar to the way that social networks democratize broadcast mechanisms that once belonged only to traditional media. Reg CF is one of three securities exemptions that enable online capital formation. Reg D 506(c) allows an unlimited amount of money to be crowdfunded from accredited investors. Reg A+ enables an issuer to raise up to $50 million online from anyone. Reg CF, the smallest of the crowdfunding exemptions, allows issuers to raise up to $1.07 million from non- accredited investors every 12 months.

Our website lists select clients, which include Braidy Industries that raised $2,493,054, Phoenix PharmaLabs that raised $1,102,553, Court Innovations that raised $499,000 and ORPC that raised $623,678. This information is available at https://valuesetters.com/track-record.

We sometimes take equity stakes in promising technology start-ups. We play an active role in growing these companies.

Our limited operating history and the uncertain nature of our future operations and the markets we address or intend to address make prediction of our future results of operations difficult.

Results of Operations

For the Six Months Ended October 31, 2019 Compared to the Six Months Ended October 31, 2018

Our revenues for the six months ended October 31, 2019 increased by $675,085, or 420%, to $835,725 as compared to $160,640 reported for the six months ended October 31, 2018.  The increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in consulting services, and specifically to a new customer that accounted for 65% of our revenues, or $540,000 in the six months ended October 31, 2019.

Stock-based compensation expense increased by $71,984, or 197%, to $108,531 for the six months ended October 31, 2019, as compared to $36,547 reported for the six months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in expense is due to our decision to compensate our executives primarily with shares of stock, so we can preserve our cash resources.

Consulting fees increased by $12,900, or 19%, to $80,200 for the six months ended October 31, 2019, from $67,300 for the six months ended October 31, 2018.  The increase is primarily attributed to a sales and marketing consultant that received additional compensation in the six-month period ended October 31, 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3,490, or 12%, to $33,283 for the six months ended October 31, 2019, from $29,793 for the six months ended October 31, 2018.  The increase is primarily attributed to increased levels of customer service and sales activity.

Interest expense of $9,614 remained approximately the same for the six-month period ended October 31, 2019, as compared to $9,657 for the six months ended October 31, 2018.  Our debt balances were slightly lower at October 31, 2019 and compared to October 31, 2018.

For the Three Months Ended October 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended October 31, 2018

Our revenues for the three-months ended October 31, 2019 increased by $648,271, or 943%, to $716,993 as compared to $68,722 reported for the three months ended October 31, 2018.  The increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in consulting services, and specifically to a new customer that accounted for 75% of our revenues, or $540,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2019.

Stock-based compensation increased by $58,990, to $80,021 for the three-months ended October 31, 2019 from $21,031 reported in the three-months ended October 31, 2018.  The increase in expense is primarily due to the higher price per share of our common stock when shares were issued as stock-based compensation in fiscal 2020.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $25,265, to $29,903 for the three-months ended October 31, 2019 from $4,638 reported in the three-months ended October 31, 2018.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased levels of customer service and sales activity.

Interest expense remained approximately the same for the three-month period ended October 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At October 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $31,242 and negative working capital of $1,057,426 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $19,110 and negative working capital of $518,875 at April 30, 2019. The deterioration in our working capital was primarily the result of our $1,000,000 secured related-party note, which matures on October 31, 2020, being classified as a current liability at October 31, 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $16,432 and $8,890 in the six-months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The principal source of cash from operating activities in the six-months ended October 31, 2019 was net income of $566,926 and a non-cash item, stock-based compensation of $108,531. However, changes in non-cash working capital balances used cash totaling $659,025. The principal use of cash from operating activities in the six-months ended October 31, 2018 was the net loss of $27,562, but it was offset by a non-cash item, stock-based compensation of $36,547.

15

There was no investing activity in the six-months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018.

For the six months ended October 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $4,300, which consisted of principal payments of outstanding related-party debt. For the six months ended October 31, 2018, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $5,520, which consisted of $10,520 in principal payments of outstanding loans, offset by proceeds from the sale of common stock of $5,000.

In the six-months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no expenditures for capital assets.  We do not anticipate any capital expenditures in fiscal 2020.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of our company as a going concern. However, we have very limited liquidity. Management anticipates that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional capital to fund our operating expenses, debt service requirements and anticipated growth, which we intend to achieve through consulting services and the further development of our digital marketing applications. Although we are choosing methods of growth that potentially minimize the use of cash, and we were successful in generating net income for four consecutive quarters, we cannot be assured that we will be able to continue our success until we have secured customers that will provide us with repeat business. Furthermore, the most recent report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we have not had to borrow from a related party in fiscal 2020 or in fiscal 2019, in the past, our operating losses have been funded primarily through borrowings from related-party lenders.

We have only paid $4,300 in principal and we have not paid interest on any related party debt; the interest accrues each month. We believe our related party creditors will not demand payment of our current liabilities to them, in the near future, although each lender may have a change in circumstances and demand payment. Any demand for payment from a related party will have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our longer-term business objectives, and will adversely affect our ability to continue operating as a going concern.

We believe we have short-term financing available from our largest shareholder to fund a monthly cash-flow deficit, if needed. While we continually look for other financing sources, in the current economic environment, the procurement of outside funding is extremely difficult and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or, if available, that such financing will be at a price that will be acceptable to us. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital will have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our longer-term business objectives and will adversely affect our ability to continue operating as a going concern.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and principal financial officer (“PFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures consisted of:

There is a lack of accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the US (“GAAP”) and the financial reporting requirements of the SEC; and

There are insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
