Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of DSSL and DSS (Predecessors) and Duo (Successor). Duo World Inc. is the parent company of its 100 100 Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates and assumptions requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. The most significant estimates relate to the timing and amounts of revenue recognition, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities and the collectability of accounts receivable. Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. Product revenues are concentrated in the application software industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry or customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect operating results. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various high quality financial institutions and we monitor the credit ratings of those institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to the companies located in Sri Lanka, Singapore Indonesia and India. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and the risk with respect to trade receivables is further mitigated by the diversity, both by geography and by industry, of the customer base. Accounts receivable are due principally from the companies understated contract terms. Provisions A provision is recognized when the company has present obligations because of past event and when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and reliable estimate can be made of amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted at their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Accounts Receivable and Provision for Doubtful Accounts The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the products sold and services provided and has strong policies and procedures for the collection receivables from its clients. However, there are inevitably occasions when the receivables due to the Company cannot be collected and, therefore, have to be written off as bad debts. While the debt collection process is being pursued, an assessment is made of the likelihood of the receivable being collectable. A provision is therefore, made against the outstanding receivable to reflect that component that may not become collectable. The Company is in the practice of provisioning for doubtful debts based on the period outstanding as per the following: Schedule of Provision for Doubtful Debts Based on Period Outstanding Trade receivables outstanding: Provision Over 24 months 100 % Over 18 months 50 % Over 15 months 25 % Over 12 months 10 % Over 9 months 5 % Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, there were no Foreign Currency Translation The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. For financial reporting purposes, these currencies have been converted into United States Dollars ($) and/or USD as the reporting currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign functional currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date and equity balances are converted at historical rates. Revenues, costs and expenses in foreign functional currencies are converted at the average rate of exchange during the period. Conversion adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ deficit as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income /(loss) as other income (expense). Property and Equipment Fixed assets (including leasehold improvements) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated salvage value is considered as NIL. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the related assets, which may not exceed 15 Useful lives of the fixed assets are as follows: Schedule of Estimated Useful Lives of Fixed Assets Furniture & fittings 5 Improvements to lease hold assets Lease term Office equipment 5 Computer equipment (Data processing equipment) 3 Website development 4 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Post Retirement Benefit Plan The Company has gratuity as post-employment plan for all the eligible employees. The recognition for the gratuity plan is as below, The expected postretirement benefit obligation (“EPBO”) is the actuarial present value (“APV”) as of a specific date of the benefits expected to be paid to the employee, beneficiaries, and covered dependents. Measurement of the EPBO is based on the following: 1. Expected amount and timing of future benefits 2. Expected future costs 3. Extent of cost sharing The EPBO includes an assumed salary progression for a pay-related plan. Future compensation levels represent the best estimate after considering the individual employees involved, general price levels, seniority, productivity, promotions, indirect effects, and the like. The Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) is the APV as of a specific date of all future benefits attributable to service by an employee to that date. It represents the portion of the EPBO earned to date. After full eligibility is attained, the APBO equals the EPBO. The APBO also includes an assumed salary progression for a pay-related plan. Revenue Recognition, Deferred & Accrued Revenue The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses and related services. The Company revenue recognition policy follows guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from contract with customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company transferred promised goods and services to the customer and in the amount that reflect the consideration to which the company expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The following five steps are followed in recognizing revenue from contracts: ● Identify the Contract(s) with the customer; ● Identify the performance obligation of the contract; ● Determine the transaction price; ● Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and; ● Recognize revenue when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation. The consideration for the transaction [performance obligation(s)] is determined as per the agreement, contract or invoice for the services and products. Facetone ‘Facetone’ is a communication and collaboration platform, which provides users the capability of operating and running a high performance contact center operation efficiently while saving cost and maximizing revenue opportunities. In-built Facetone CRM feature provides the opportunity for contact centers to deliver a superior customer experience and build a better relationship by linking customers and data in real time. Smoothflow Smoothflow automates customer engagements, including building ChatBots, VoiceBots and IoTBots to deliver an Omni channel customer service experience. The product uses the power of artificial intelligence to keep improving the conversational flow and user experience. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Nature of Products and Services Licenses for on premise software Enterprise software solutions Cloud services AMC Services For the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received only cash as consideration for sale of licenses and related services rendered. For the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had following concentrations of revenues with customers: Schedule of Concentrations of Revenue Customer September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 A 32.14 % 3.04 % B 25.98 % 4.00 % C 24.83 % 2.19 % D 10.13 % 2.55 % E 0.00 % 83.40 % F 0.00 % 3.15 % Other misc. customers 6.92 % 1.67 % 100.00 % 100.00 % For the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the company had following sales by products: Schedule of Sales by Products Product September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 Facetone $ 47,596 $ 28,274 Software hosting and reselling 7,109 8,563 DuoSubscribe - 237,133 $ 54,705 $ 273,970 Significant Judgments The Company’s contract with customers includes multiple Software products and services to deliver and in the most of the contract the price of the separately identifiable features are stated separately. In the event the price of the multiple product and services are not mentioned in the agreement the Company allocate transaction price estimating the standalone selling price of the promised Products and the services. The determination of standalone selling price for each performance obligation requires judgments. The Company determines standalone selling price for performance obligations based on overall pricing strategies, which consider market in which the company operates, historical data analysis, number of users of the product or services, size of the customer and the market price of the hardware used. Contract Balances When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing for contract with customers, differed revenue and accrued revenue/ unbilled accounts receivables are recognized by the Company. Revenue under Software Implementation contracts are invoiced on stages of completion as stipulates in the agreement and the revenue recognized when the performance obligations are met and customer sign the user acceptance test (UAT). The Company invoices software license fee and royalty fee at the end of the period according to the customer agreement and accrued revenue/ unbilled revenue is recognized for the relevant period. The maintenance fee is invoiced beginning of the period and the Company recognizes as deferred revenue in the financial statements and is ratably recognized over a period of service. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Refer Note- 5 for “Accounts receivables and Provision for doubtful debts” Segment Information The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is its Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Company’s executive reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of assessing the performance and making decisions on how to allocate resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable segment. Deferred Revenue 21,567 2,898 Accrued Revenue/Unbilled Accounts Receivable 1,036 1,076 The Company had no contract liabilities and assets recognized for cost to fulfill a requirement of a customer as at September 30, 2021. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue mainly includes purchases, product implementation costs, amortization of product development, developer support and implementation, and consultancy fees related to the products offered by the Company. The aggregate cost related to the software implementations, including support and consulting services pertaining to the revenue recognized during the reporting period, is recognized as cost of revenue. Product research and development Product research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefits for the Company’s development and technical support staff, contractors’ fees and other costs associated with the enhancements of existing products and services and development of new products and services. Costs incurred for software development prior to technological feasibility are expensed as product research and development costs in the period incurred. Once the point of technological feasibility is reached, which is generally upon the completion of a working prototype that has no critical bugs and is a release candidate; development costs are capitalized until the product is ready for general release and are classified within “Intangibles assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs using the greater of the ratio of the products’ current gross revenues to the total of current gross revenues and expected gross revenues or on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, which is typically four years. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, product research and development cost of $ 9,050 no Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. No Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. 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 carry forwards. 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized in the current financials due to recurring tax losses and the uncertainty of the realization of the tax allowances. Withholding taxes deducted from the source of income from foreign operations are debited to profit and loss account due to non-refundable status. Comprehensive Income The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income from April 1, 2015 through September 30, 2021, includes only foreign currency conversion gains (losses), and is presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component during the periods ending on September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 were as follows: Schedule of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Foreign Currency Translation gains (losses) Balance, March 31, 2021 $ 548,539 Translation rate gain (loss) (7,087 ) Balance, June 30, 2021 $ 541,452 Translation rate gain (loss) 26,428 Balance, September 30, 2021 567,881 Leases Lessor There are no significant changes in recognizing the Lessor under ASC 842 compared to the previous model. Changes were made to the accounting guidance of lessor and lessee, and the key aspects of the introduced model are to align the recognition criteria with new revenue recognition standard ASC 606. Under the new guidance, contract consideration is allocated to its lease components and non-lease components (such as maintenance). For the Company as a lessor, non-lease components of the contract will be accounted under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, unless the Company elects a lessor practical expedient to not separate the non-lease components from the associated lease component. The amendments in ASU 2018-11 also provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component. To elect the practical expedient, the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components must be the same and the lease component must meet the criteria to be classified as an operating lease. If these criteria’s are met, the single component can be accounted either ASC 842 or ASC 606, depending on the predominant component(s). The lessor practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated component must be elected for all existing and new leases. As lessor, the Company expects that post-adoption substantially all existing leases will have no change in the timing of revenue recognition until their expiration or termination. The Company expects to elect the lessor’s practical expedient to not separate non-lease components such as maintenance from the associated lease for all existing and new leases and to account for the combined component as a single lease component. The timing of revenue recognition is expected to be the same for the majority of the Company’s new leases as compared to similar existing leases; however, certain categories of new leases could have different revenue recognition patterns as compared to similar existing leases. For the leases that are accounted as operating leases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. Generally, when a lease is more than 180 days delinquent (where more than three monthly payments are owed), the lease is classified as being on nonaccrual and the Company has to stops recognizing leasing income on that date. Payments received from leases in nonaccrual status generally reduce the lease receivable. Leases on nonaccrual status remain classified as such until there is sustained payment performance that, in the Company’s judgment, would indicate that all contractual amounts will be collected in full. Lessee The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. In connection with the adoption, the Company will elect to utilize the modified retrospective presentation whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC 840. In addition, the Company will elect the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Further, the Company will adopt a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or capital leases. On certain lease agreements, the Company may receive rent holidays and other incentives. The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis without considering the deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has reviewed the recent accounting pronouncements and believes that they will not have material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |
