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 nine- and three-month periodsperiod ended JanuaryJuly 31, 2018,2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018.2021. 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, 2017.2020.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.  The new guidance provides better representation about expected credit losses on financial instruments. This update requires the use of a methodology that reflects expected losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportive information to inform credit loss estimates.  This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.  The company is studying the impact of adopting the ASU in fiscal year 2023, and what effect it could have. The Company believes the accounting change would not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvement to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments. The company elected early adoption of this ASU, using the modified retrospective approach, so that all stock compensation to employees and nonemployees is treated under the same guidance as in ASC 718.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes(Topic 740):Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

 

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, the Company has sustained recurring losses from its continuing operations and as of January 31, 2018, had negative working capital of $737,942$1,219,028 and a stockholders’an accumulated deficit of $1,671,959.$2,431,411. In addition, the Company ismay be unable to meet all of its obligations as they become due and sustain its operations.due. The Company believes that its existing cash resources are not sufficient to fund its continuing operating losses, capital expenditures, lease and 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 purposesmerge its business operations with some of the revenue-generating early-stage companies that it has incubated.

2.Continue to look for software niches and other digital productsRenegotiate the payment terms of the $1,000,000 secured related party note payable that can be sold via an Internet-based store.

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.objectives. 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.

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.

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 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.

 68

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 are 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 three-month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, which amounted to $1,762,322 and $118,732, respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $35,572 and $656, 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.

Note 89 – 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:

 

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.used.

Item 2. Management���sManagement’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

ValueSetters is

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

We specialize in Regulation Crowdfunding (“Reg CF”), under the first quarterprovisions of fiscal 2015, we began consulting for small companies and taking an equity stake in these companies in exchange for our services.Title III of the JOBS Act of 2012. We have successfully increased our quarter-over-quarter revenue in the quarter ended January 31, 2018, duebelieve that new capital raising techniques, such as Reg CF, democratize capital raising, similar to the additionway 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 raised 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.

In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") proposed meaningful changes to multiple securities exemptions in an effort to provide critical capital needed for emerging companies, from early-stage start-ups seeking seed capital, to companies that are pursuing a course to become a public reporting company. The new personnel, includingproposal intends to create a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Financial Officer. With the additional staff available to us, we began growing the advisory services component of our business. We plan to continue to take equity stakes in some companies and it remains our strategy to purchase part or all of early-stage companies and cross pollinate the ideas, technology and expertise within these companiesmore rational framework to enhance the operations, profits and market share of all the entities, at an affordable price.entrepreneur's access to capital while preserving important investor protections.

DuringThe new regulations, which we anticipate will be implemented before the end of the year, are designed to:

·address, in one broadly applicable rule, the ability of issuers to move from one exemption to another, and ultimately to a registered offering, providing more certainty to issuers raising capital;
·increase the offering limits for Regulation A, Regulation CF, and Rule 504 offerings, and revise certain individual investment limits based on the SEC’s experience with the rules, marketplace practices, capital raising trends, and comments received;
·provide greater certainty to issuers and protection to investors by setting clear and consistent rules governing offering communications between investors and issuers, including permitting certain “demo day” activity without running afoul of the prohibition on general solicitation; and
·harmonize certain disclosure and eligibility requirements and bad actor disqualification provisions to reduce differences between exemptions, while preserving or enhancing investor protections.

The SEC proposed revisions to the offering and investment limits, which we believe will have a positive impact on our second quarterbusiness. For Reg CF, the new rules include:

·raising the offering limit in Reg CF from $1.07 million to $5 million;
·amending the investment limits for investors in Reg CF offerings by:
onot applying any investment limits to accredited investors; and
orevising the calculation method for investment limits for non-accredited investors to allow them to rely on the greater of their annual income or net worth when calculating the limit on how much they can invest.

Reg CF will also benefit from “Testing the Waters” a rule currently utilized under Reg A+, that enables issuers to measure investor demand before spending tens of fiscal 2018,thousands of dollars on an actual offering. Special Purpose Vehicles (or SPVs) may now be included in Reg CF offers and this inclusion is designed to improve the viability of the exemption while providing greater investor protection.

We believe these actions by the SEC will enhance the value of funding portals and strengthen the online capital raising process in private equity. Consequently, we formedhave negotiated a wholly-owned subsidiarytransaction that will consolidate the operations of a Reg CF funding portal, Netcapital.com (“Netcapital”), with the name of AthenaSoft Inc., a marketing arm of an Indian-based company with a website at http://athenasoftsolutions.com/. (“Athena Solutions”). We utilize Athena Solutions to provide software development services to some of our customers, including the development of websites, mobile applications and blockchain technology. For services provided to our customers by Athena Solutions, we recorded in our third quarter revenues of $21,300 and cost of revenues of $14,910.

A company that we own equity in, as a result of our consulting services, isfinancial results. Netcapital Systems LLC. This company ownsoperates a Title III JOBS Act funding portal, and as of today is one of fewer than 50only a few dozen FINRA approved crowdfunding portalsReg CF portals. Although we have a written agreement that we filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K on August 26, 2020, the agreement is subject to certain events and it is possible that the transaction will not be finalized.  Increasing our ownership in online businesses with private equity platforms is a significant component of our business strategy.

For the past three years we have provided consulting services to Netcapital. In addition to the services we provided to Netcapital, we provide consulting services to some of our clients that utilize the Netcapital website to raise money from non-accredited and accredited investors. We believe we have been successful in providing advice and digital marketing services to our clients, who are allowed to sell securitiesadvertise their fundraising, in startupconjunction with advertising provisions contained in the JOBS Act. During the past three years, many high-tech firms have become our clients, including Kingscrowd LLC, Deuce Drone LLC and ChipBrain LLC. These companies have contributed to non-accredited investors via the Internet. We continue to consult for Netcapital (see https://Netcapital.com)our growth and have investedwe own minority positions in additional early-stage companies that we met through Netcapital by providing our consulting services. We believe our investment and future revenue potential from our relationship with Netcapital is significant.

We also consulted for Zelgor, a mobile phone game company, which builds massive multiplayer online social games on top of the real-world map. It combines elements of classic arcade games and GPS technology, and ValueSetters currently owns 5% of Zelgor, which recently raised additional capital through the Netcapital platform.

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. Our operations may never generate significant revenues, and we may never achieve profitable operations.

Net2020, net cash provided by financing activities aggregated $49,327 and $3,020amounted to $2,385,800, which consisted of two loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration. For the three months ended July 31, 2019, net cash used in the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The principal source of cash from financing activities amounted to $1,300, which consisted of a payment to a related-party lender.

In the three-months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no expenditures for capital assets.  We do not anticipate any capital expenditures in the nine-month period ended January 31, 2018 came from loan proceeds of $14,107 from our secured lender, $15,600 from a related party, and $21,700 from a single investor. The principal source of cash in the nine months ended January 31, 2017 was loan proceeds of $5,000 from our secured lender, offset by payments of bank debt of $1,980.fiscal 2021.

 

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 sustained net losses from operations during the last several years, and we have very limited liquidity. Management anticipates that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional capital to fund our operating expenses and anticipated growth, which we intend to achieve through consulting services and the further development of Internet applications.

However, we now have to obtainplan for new future payments to service our debt. Furthermore, the cash to market the digital products we sell or that we will be successful in increasing our sales. Furthermore, themost recent report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operating losses have been primarily funded through borrowings under a line of credit from our largest shareholder. We successfully negotiated a modification to this agreement that included an extension of the maturity date to October 31, 2020 and a reduction in the per annum interest rate from 8% to 1.25%.

We owe our Lender, who is also our largest shareholder, $1,000,000 at January 31, 2018. We also have balances due to directors, in both accounts payable and notes payable. We have not paid interest on anya related party debt; the interest accrues each month.$1,000,000 under a secured term loan that matures on October 31, 2020. We believe our related party creditors will not demandwe can renegotiate the payment terms of our current liabilities to them, in the near future, although any of our lenders may have a change in circumstances and demand payment.loan. 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.

 

Although we are not yet profitable on an operating basis and we are not generating cash from operations, we believe we have short-term financing available from our largest shareholder to fund our monthly cash-flow deficit. 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.

 

15

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 insure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; andrequirements.

There is a lack of segregation of duties, in that we only had one person performing all accounting-related duties.
