The financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses of $4,116,322$4,944,990 and has net working capital deficit of $261,837$522,096 at June 30, 2016.   Accordingly, these factors raise2017. Management has concluded that due to the conditions described above, there is substantial doubt as toabout the Company’sentities ability to continue as a going concern.   These financial statements doconcern through August 14, 2018. We have evaluated the significance of the conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations and believe that our current cash balance along with our current operations will not include any adjustments relatingprovide sufficient capital to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.continue operation through 2017. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving sales growth, the management of operating expenses and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.
 
Our majority shareholder has advised us not to depend solely on it for financing. We have increased our efforts to raise additional capital through equity or debt financingsfinancing from other sources. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our shareholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business.  If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.
 
These 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 result from this uncertainty.

Basis of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of Hotapp International, IncInc. and its subsidiaries.  All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues, cost and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and share-based compensation.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, or which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
 
Foreign currency risk
 
Because of its foreign operations, the Company holds cash in non-US dollars. As of June 30, 2016,2017, cash and cash equivalents of the Group includes,include, on an as converted basis to US dollars $11,044, $4,591$51,697, $59,940 and $37,296$18,790 in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), Reminbi (“RMB”) and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively.
 
The Renminbi (“RMB”) is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.  The Group places their cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.
 
Fixed assets, net
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
 
Office equipment3 years
Computer equipment3 years
Furniture and fixtures3 years
Motor vehicles10 years
 
Fair value
 
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Group recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Group currently has no$103,936 revenue butfrom its services rendered on projects, and plans to derive its revenue from membership subscription services, offering the platform for Enterprise Collaboration with integrationintegration. Revenue is currently recognized under contract accounting due to the significant software production required, and consulting servicesthe percentage-of-completion method is used in accordance with ASC 605-35. The Company is recognizing the percentage-of-completion based on input measures that measured directly from expenses incurred, and management reviews the progress to completion. In case of the 3% iGalen revenue on project basis.sharing, revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605-25.
 

 
Research and development expenses
 
Research and development expenses primarily consist of (i) salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, and (ii) office rental, general expenses and depreciation expenses associated with the research and development activities.  The Company’s research and development activities primarily consist of the research and development of new features for its mobile platform and its self-developed mobile games. Expenditures incurred during the research phase are expensed as incurred.
 
Income taxes
Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities.  Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.
 
The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.  Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 20152016 or 2014,2015, respectively.
 
Uncertainties exist with respect to the application of the New EIT Law to our operations, specifically with respect to our tax residency.  The New EIT Law specifies that legal entities organized outside of the PRC will be considered residents for PRC income tax purposes if their “de facto management bodies” as “establishments that carry on substantial and overall management and control over the operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of the Company.”  Because of the uncertainties that have resulted from limited PRC guidance on the issue, it is uncertain whether our legal entities outside the PRC constitute residents under the New EIT Law.  If one or more of our legal entities organized outside the PRC were characterized as PRC residents, the impact would adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong and the PRC are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Renminbi ("RMB"), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.
 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations.
 
The Company’s entities with functional currency of Renminbi, Hong Kong Dollar and Singapore Dollar, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss).
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2016,2017, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from translation loss of $114,321$121,667 in the consolidated financial statements.
 
Operating leases
 
Leases where the rewards and risks of ownership of assets primarily remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.
 
Comprehensive income (loss)
 
Comprehensive income (loss) includesinclude gains (losses) from foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 

 
Loss per share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
 
The Company's convertible preferred shares are not participating securities and have no voting rights until converted to common stock. As of June 30, 2016,2017, no shares of preferred stock are eligible for conversion into voting common stock.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The updated standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
On Feb. 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update). The new leasing standard presents dramatic changes to the balance sheets of lessees. Lessor accounting is updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

We will conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying the critical accounting policies. Certain of these critical accounting policies affect working capital account balances, including the policies for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and income taxes. These policies require that we make estimates in the preparation of our financial statements as of a given date.
 
Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
 
Revenue recognition
 
The CompanyGroup recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Group currently has no$103,936 revenue butfrom its services rendered on projects, and plans to derive its revenue from membership subscription services, offering the platform for mobile games developed by third partiesEnterprise Collaboration with integration.

In case of the paid emoticons and mobile marketing services.3% iGalen revenue sharing, revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605-25.
 
Research and development expenses
 
Research and development expenses primarily consist of (i) salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, and (ii) office rental, general expenses and depreciation expenses associated with the research and development activities.  The Company’s research and development activities primarily consist of the research and development of new features for its mobile platform and its self-developed mobile games. Expenditures incurred during the research phase are expensed as incurred.
 
Income taxes
 
Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities.  Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.
 
Uncertainties exist with respect to the application of the New EIT Law to our operations, specifically with respect to our tax residency.  The New EIT Law specifies that legal entities organized outside of the PRC will be considered residents for PRC income tax purposes if their “de facto management bodies” as “establishments that carry on substantial and overall management and control over the operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of the Company.”  Because of the uncertainties resulted from limited PRC guidance on the issue, it is uncertain whether our legal entities outside the PRC constitute residents under the New EIT Law.  If one or more of our legal entities organized outside the PRC were characterized as PRC residents, the impact would adversely affect our results of operations.
