Description of Business and Concentrations |

Valuesetters, Inc. (“Valuesetters”, or the “Company”) is a provider of subscription services, advertising and digital goods using technology distribution platforms like the Internet and mobile devices in the media and entertainment markets. Most of the Company’s revenues are derived from customers worldwide who subscribe to a chess website that allows them to play ranked chess games against international competitors, or against various levels of artificial intelligence embedded in the Company’s online chess software. |
|
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s fiscal year end is April 30. |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance has been established to eliminate the Company’s deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that none of the deferred tax assets will be realized. |
|
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the tax authorities. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense. The Company has determined that it had no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure. |

Costs of services consist of direct costs that we pay to third parties in order to maintain our online sites that generate revenue. |
Loss Per Share | ' |
Loss Per Share |
|
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. To the extent that stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For 2014 and 2013, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents during 2014 and 2013. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relates to the accruals for unbilled legal services and income tax valuation allowance. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates, utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Determination of Fair Value | ' |
Determination of Fair Value |
|
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable |
|
In general, carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. |
Deferred Revenue | ' |
Deferred Revenue |
|
Deferred revenue represents revenue collected but not earned as of the year end. The company renders services, or rights to use its software, over a specific time period and revenues are recognized as earned as time passes. |
Debt | ' |
Debt |
|
At April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s secured debt was carried at its face value plus accrued interest. In July 2014, the Company renegotiated its secured related party debt and one related party note, and these notes are now term loans which mature on June 30, 2017. Based on the financial condition of the Company, it is impracticable for the Company to estimate the fair value of its short and long-term debt. |
|
The Company has no instruments with significant off balance sheet risk. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |

On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915). Amongst other things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows and shareholders equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however entities are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for which the financial statements have yet to be issued. The Company has elected to early adopt these amendments and accordingly have not labeled the financial statements as those of a development stage entity and have not presented inception-to-date information on the respective financial statements. |

The Company does not expect any other recent accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
