Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
1. BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDITY	Interim Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements, and in our opinion reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will have for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Business and Organization Symbid Corp. was incorporated as HapyKidz.com, Inc. in the state of Nevada on July 29, 2011. On September 4, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the Company’s name from HapyKidz.com, Inc. to Symbid Corp. The Company continues to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under the Exchange Act. Symbid Holding B.V. (“Symbid Holding”) was incorporated on October 3, 2013 organized under the laws of the Netherlands. Symbid Holding was organized to serve as the holding company for all of Symbid’s business activities in the Netherlands and in other countries. As such, on October 3, 2013, the holders of the capital shares of Symbid B.V. exchanged their shares for capital shares of Symbid Holding and, as a result, Symbid B.V. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Symbid Holding. Symbid B.V. was the operating entity for the Company’s business in the Netherlands through November 1, 2016. On December 6, 2013, the Company closed a Share Exchange pursuant to which the 19 shareholders of Symbid Holding B.V. sold all of their capital stock in Symbid Holding B.V. to the Company in exchange for 21,170,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share. Because the Company had no operations at the time of the acquisition of Symbid Holding, Symbid Holding is considered to be the predecessor Company for financial reporting purposes. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition,” and Symbid Holding was deemed to be the acquirer. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the financial statements prior to the Share Exchange are those of Symbid Holding and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Symbid Holding. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange include the assets and liabilities of Symbid Holding, historical operations of Symbid Holding and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries from the Closing Date of the Share Exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange, a change in control occurred as of the date of consummation of the Share Exchange. The main operating entity of Symbid Corp. is Symbid B.V. (“Symbid B.V.”), incorporated in Utrecht, The Netherlands on March 29, 2011 under the laws of the Netherlands. The Company was launched in April 2011 and its headquarters was based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands as one of the first equity based crowdfunding forerunners worldwide. Entrepreneurs used Symbid to obtain business growth funding from the crowd in exchange for a part of the equity of their company. Investors could participate for as little as $21, and become shareholders of start-up companies or growing businesses in need of capital. Founded as the provider of one of the first equity based crowdfunding platforms, the business evolved in 2015 into a fully integrated, data driven, user friendly online funding network consisting of several products and services known as The Funding Network™. The Funding Network™ is intended to give SMEs direct access to all forms of finance, while offering investors full transparency on the potential risks and return of their portfolios and was developed in response to the following funding hurdles affecting entrepreneurs and investors in general and SMEs in particular: ● Limited or no structured distribution channels for SME finance other than banks, increasing the mismatch between entrepreneurs and financiers; ● No centralized platform for (alternative) financiers, making it difficult and inefficient to find the right financier at the right time; ● No standardized data protocols for SME data, leading to costly and time-intensive (offline) screening and monitoring; ● Limited financial skills of entrepreneurs leading to unnecessary inefficiencies and obstacles within the financing process; and ● Decline in bank financing due to new regulations and recent financial crises, leaving a vacuum in the life cycle of SME financing. Refer to the restructuring and liquidity sections below for more information on the change in business model that took place during the second half of 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a 7.57% ownership interest in Kredietpaspoort Coöperatie U.A. (“Kredietpaspoort”), a Cooperative located in the Netherlands, through its wholly owned subsidiary Symbid B.V. The Kredietpaspoort is a cloud- based platform that was developed to provide credit evaluation and financing options to SME companies in the Netherlands. As of March 31, 2017, the shares in Kredietpaspoort were cancelled and the Company’s interest has been reduced to zero (See Note 4). The company sold its interest in Equidam Holding B.V. (“Equidam”) on March 6, 2017 for $15,902 and recognized a gain of $14,799 on the sale of the investment. As of December 31, 2016, the Company held a 7% ownership interest in Equidam. Equidam started as an online valuation tool for private companies with a focus on SME’s, Equidam now also offers simple monitoring services to investors on the Company’s platform. Restructuring During the second half of 2016, the Company was unable to raise additional capital from investors and was forced to enter settlement agreements with its creditors and note holders to restructure the Company. Because of the restructuring, the Company curtailed certain operations and changed its business focus from the operation of online funding platforms and the provision of software solutions for SMEs in the alternative financing market to the licensing of available software packages that the Company owns and licenses intellectual property. As the result of the restructuring, the Company’s crowdfunding platform in the Netherlands is now operated through Symbid Coop. The Company previously controlled and operated Symbid Coop through corporate governance but as the result of the restructuring, Symbid Coop has become an independent entity. Because the Company no longer has the resources to continue the software development of the online funding platform, Symbid Coop took over the development of software for the crowdfunding platform during the fourth quarter of 2016 in order to remain compliant under the laws and regulations of The Netherlands. Symbid Coop has, in return for reimbursing the further development of the software, been granted a non-exclusive license to the intellectual property from IP Foundation in order to continue crowdfunding operations in The Netherlands. The Company will continue to hold an identical non-exclusive license to the intellectual property of the crowdfunding platform whereby we will be allowed to use the most up to date versions of the software and other intellectual property. The revised business model requires fewer employees, advisors and consultants and is more economical to operate. The Company has developed several software products suitable for the alternative market which it will continue to offer to third parties. Such products and related services include white label versions of crowdfunding software for investor groups and monitoring software to provide investors with ongoing insight into the performance of SMEs to which they have loaned money. Related licensing fees and subscription agreements may include set fees and yearly contribution fees. For further information on the restructuring, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Liquidity and Going Concern Matters The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $8.6 million as of March 31, 2017. The Company currently has limited liquidity and no revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, net losses were approximately $89,000 and $670,000, respectively. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficits of approximately $18,000 and $11,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had cash on hand of $16,158. The recurring losses raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. On December 9, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue 80% of its outstanding shares in consideration for the cancellation of $124,070 in debts due the Company’s creditors and the future payment of fees to keep the Company’s filing status current. Under the agreement, the new majority shareholder committed to fund the future operations of the Company until the Company completes a business combination or other similar transaction resulting in a change in control.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its significant subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company also includes subsidiaries over which a direct or indirect legal or effective control exists and for which the Company is deemed to direct the significant activities and has the obligation to absorb the losses or benefits of the entities. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions with other consolidated entities have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company’s accounts as well as those of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company was the primary beneficiary. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statements to conform to the consolidated 2017 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Noncontrolling Interests The Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest will be accounted for as equity transactions, and upon loss of control, retained ownership interest will be re-measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. Income and losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Revenue Recognition Revenue related to licensing is recognized on a monthly basis determined by the contracted monthly license fee. If the monthly license fee is not paid, the Company is entitled to set the platform offline. Revenues from URL services are based on a fixed annual fee and recognized ratably over the contract period, typically one year. Share Based Compensation ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation The Company accounts for the granting of equity based awards to employees using the fair value method, whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of all equity based awards is expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. The fair value of equity based awards is estimated using the most recent securities offering of the same or similar share classes. Compensation costs for stock- based payments to employees with graded vesting are recognized on a straight line basis. Based on guidance in ASC 505, Equity Fair Value of Financial Instruments The accounting standard for fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. Under the provisions of the pronouncement, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The Company’s current financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature and include cash accounts. Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash Held in Banks The Company has cash balances at financial institutions located in the Netherlands. Balances at financial institutions in the Netherlands may, from time to time, exceed insured limits. Currently the insured limit amounts to $106,830. Foreign Currency Translation The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. dollars” or “USD”) for financial reporting purposes and to maintain its books and records. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency, the Euro (“EUR”), the currency of the Netherlands. In connection with the cessation of platform operations in 2016, and in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Foreign Currency Matters – Translation of Financial Statements”, the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment was released into loss during 2016. In general, for consolidation purposes, the Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance sheet accounts, with the exception of equity, were translated at 1 EUR to $1.0683 and $1.0525, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were at 1 EUR to $1.0657 and 1 EUR to $ 1.1029, respectively. Income Taxes Income taxes have been determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial statement and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The assessment of whether or not a valuation allowance is required often requires significant judgment. Net Loss Per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, for all periods presented. In accordance with this guidance, basic and diluted net loss per share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted- average common shares outstanding during the period. In a period where there is a net loss position, diluted weighted average shares are the same as basic weighted average shares. Shares used in the diluted net loss per common share calculation exclude potentially dilutive share equivalents as the effect would be antidilutive. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive loss but are excluded from net loss as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments. Cost Method Investments Direct and or indirect investments in business entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and has no ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 0-20 percent ownership), are accounted for by the cost method. Recent Accounting Pronouncements As compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements or changes to accounting pronouncements .

3. PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS	Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following: March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 VAT return Q4 2016/ 2015 $ 2,437 $ - Revenues to be invoiced - 1,370 Wage tax refund - 3,602 Other prepaid expenses - 6,996 Insurance premiums - 13,484 Intercompany balance Symbid Coöperatie UA and Symbid Crowdfunding B.V. - 7,092 $ 2,437 $ 32,544 VAT in the Netherlands In the Netherlands and Europe it is compulsory for a business to charge VAT to its clients on the invoice. The VAT charged to a customer can be offset by VAT payable to the Company’s suppliers and the remainder is payable or receivable from the Dutch tax authorities. An important basic rule is that a company cannot reclaim any VAT, if it does not charge VAT on its invoices. At the moment the Netherlands VAT rate is 21% (standard rate which also applies to the Company) or a reduced rate of 6% and 0% (for supply in the EU intra-Community supplies and export). For e-commerce special rules apply. Most of the time companies file the Netherlands VAT tax return on quarterly basis. However, in case of high turnover it can be changed to monthly basis. On the other hand if the turnover is very low, on request the Netherlands VAT tax return can be filed annually. The Company is filing tax returns on a quarterly basis. When the Company has to reclaim VAT, the amount will be refunded by the Dutch tax authorities within 30 days after the VAT return was filed. As of March 31, 2017, the Q1 (2017) VAT return accounted for 100% of total prepaid and other current assets. As of December 31, 2016, the Q4 (2016) VAT return accounted for 0% of total prepaid and other current assets (See Note 5 for the payable balance as of March 31, 2017).

Equity [Abstract]
6. CAPITAL STOCK	Common and Preferred Stock The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 300,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 290,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. Net Loss per Share Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, for all periods presented. In accordance with this guidance, basic and diluted net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. In a period where there is a net loss position, diluted weighted-average shares are the same as basic weighted-average shares. Shares used in the diluted net loss per common share calculation exclude potentially dilutive share equivalents as the effect would be antidilutive. As of March 31, 2017, there are 2,380,810 Investor Warrants which are excluded on the aforementioned basis. As of March 31, 2017, there are no outstanding convertible securities or shares that would be potentially dilutive on an as-if-converted basis. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan Before the Share Exchange on December 6, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive awards of up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to officers, key employees, consultants and directors (See Note 7).

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
7. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION PLANS	2013 Stock Incentive Plan Under the 2013 Plan, 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors to the Company. The stock plan provides for grants of options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (“the Awards”). Up to 1,666,666 shares may be granted during the first 12 months following the Share Exchange and the remaining 3,333,332 shares may be granted during the first 24 months following the Share Exchange. As of March 31, 2017, there are 3,724,432 shares available for issuance under the 2013 Plan. The vesting period for the Awards under the 2013 Plan is determined by the Board at the date of grant and is generally one year. Employee Share Based Compensation Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of our restricted common stock upon vesting. , which is measured based on the publicly traded share price. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no equity awards were granted or forfeited under the 2013 Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 140,832 RSUs were released. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized share based compensation expense for employee awards of approximately $41,000. As of March 31, 2017, all of the awards of restricted stock issued to employees under the 2013 Plan, have vested. Non-employee Share Based Compensation Share based compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively ‘Non-Employee Awards’) granted to non- employees is measured at the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measured. The cost of the share based payments to non- employees that are fully vested and non- forfeitable as at the grant date are remeasured and recognized at that date, unless there is a contractual term for services, in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no equity awards were granted or forfeited under the 2013 Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 8,500 RSUs were released. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized share based compensation expense for non-employees of $3,000. As of March 31, 2017, all of the awards of restricted stock issued to non-employees under the 2013 Plan, have vested. There was no unrecognized compensation expense for unvested non-employee RSUs at March 31, 2017.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACC15

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2017
Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its significant subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company also includes subsidiaries over which a direct or indirect legal or effective control exists and for which the Company is deemed to direct the significant activities and has the obligation to absorb the losses or benefits of the entities. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions with other consolidated entities have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company’s accounts as well as those of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company was the primary beneficiary.
Reclassifications	Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statements to conform to the consolidated 2017 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Noncontrolling Interests	The Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest will be accounted for as equity transactions, and upon loss of control, retained ownership interest will be re-measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. Income and losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue related to licensing is recognized on a monthly basis determined by the contracted monthly license fee. If the monthly license fee is not paid, the Company is entitled to set the platform offline. Revenues from URL services are based on a fixed annual fee and recognized ratably over the contract period, typically one year.
Share Based Compensation	ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation The Company accounts for the granting of equity based awards to employees using the fair value method, whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of all equity based awards is expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. The fair value of equity based awards is estimated using the most recent securities offering of the same or similar share classes. Compensation costs for stock- based payments to employees with graded vesting are recognized on a straight line basis. Based on guidance in ASC 505, Equity
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The accounting standard for fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. Under the provisions of the pronouncement, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The Company’s current financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature and include cash accounts.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Cash Held in Banks The Company has cash balances at financial institutions located in the Netherlands. Balances at financial institutions in the Netherlands may, from time to time, exceed insured limits. Currently the insured limit amounts to $106,830.
Foreign Currency Translation	The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. dollars” or “USD”) for financial reporting purposes and to maintain its books and records. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency, the Euro (“EUR”), the currency of the Netherlands. In connection with the cessation of platform operations in 2016, and in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Foreign Currency Matters – Translation of Financial Statements”, the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment was released into loss during 2016. In general, for consolidation purposes, the Company translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance sheet accounts, with the exception of equity, were translated at 1 EUR to $1.0683 and $1.0525, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were at 1 EUR to $1.0657 and 1 EUR to $ 1.1029, respectively.
Income Taxes	Income taxes have been determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial statement and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The assessment of whether or not a valuation allowance is required often requires significant judgment.
Net Loss Per Common Share	Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, for all periods presented. In accordance with this guidance, basic and diluted net loss per share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted- average common shares outstanding during the period. In a period where there is a net loss position, diluted weighted average shares are the same as basic weighted average shares. Shares used in the diluted net loss per common share calculation exclude potentially dilutive share equivalents as the effect would be antidilutive.
Comprehensive Loss	Comprehensive loss refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive loss but are excluded from net loss as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Cost Method Investments	Direct and or indirect investments in business entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and has no ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 0-20 percent ownership), are accounted for by the cost method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	As compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements or changes to accounting pronouncements .
