NOTE A—BUSINESS ACTIVITY
AppSoft Technologies (the "Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada March 24, 2015. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31st. The Company develops, publishes and markets mobile software applications for smartphones and tablet devices (“Apps”). We currently own a portfolio comprising over 400 Apps titles including games designed to appeal to a broad cross section of consumers and legal-related Apps that provide compilations of federal and state laws and regulations across a variety of legal disciplines and digests of court decisions rendered by federal courts. Consumers download our Apps through direct-to-consumer digital storefronts, such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
We currently generate revenue from sales, or downloads, of our Apps and from advertisements published on our ad supported game titles.
NOTE B—GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a deficit accumulated of $665,444 and cash used in operations of $62,026 at September 30, 2018.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the date when these financial statements were issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise because of this uncertainty.
To address these aforementioned, management has undertaken the following initiatives: 1) enter into discussions to secure additional equity funding from current or new shareholders; 2) undertake a program to continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements and minimum expenditure commitments; 3) continue their focus on maintaining an appropriate level of corporate overhead in line with the Company’s available cash resources.
NOTE C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation- The financial statements included herein were prepared under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
All adjustments have been made which in the opinion of management are necessary, normal, and recurring in nature for presentation.
Interim filings should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report as of December 31, 2017.
Cash and Cash Equivalents- For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Management’s Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements above reflect all of the costs of doing business.
5 |
NOTE C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—CONT’D
Revenue Recognition- The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the following criteria are met:
(i) | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
(ii) | the services have been rendered and all required milestones achieved, |
(iii) | the sales price is fixed or determinable, and |
(iv) | collectability is reasonably assured. |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - The Company reports Comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.
Net Income per Common Share- Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There was a total of 1,945,900 and 1,937,400 upon conversion of preferred stock as of September 30, 2017 and 2018. respectively.
Deferred Taxes- The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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 the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments- The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable and payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Accounts Receivable- Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the year they become uncollectible. As of September 30, 2018, and 2017 the balance in Accounts Receivable was $0.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets- The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Stock-Based Compensation- The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

NOTE C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—CONT’D
Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s note payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at September 30, 2018 and 2017.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2018, nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We currently anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). The standard clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, the assets in the transaction need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Prior to the adoption of the new guidance, an acquisition or disposition would be considered a business if there were inputs, as well as processes that when applied to those inputs had the ability to create outputs. Early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. We currently anticipate that the adoption of ASU 201701 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—CONT’D
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception”. The ASU was issued to address the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU, among other things, eliminates the need to consider the effects of down round features when analyzing convertible debt, warrants and other financing instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not believe the guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is assessing ASU 2018-07 and does not expect it to have a material impact on our accounting and disclosures.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows
NOTE D—SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company follows the guidance set forth by section 280-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for reporting and disclosure on operating segments of the Company. It also requires segment disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company determined that it did not have any separately reportable operating segments as of September 30, 2018 and 2017.

The shares of “Preferred Stock” are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.005 per share. The holder of the “Preferred Stock” may not convert any portion of the “Preferred
Stock” if, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, except that the holder may, by written notice to the Company, increase or decrease this percentage up to a maximum of 9.99%, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. Upon a liquidation event, the Company shall first pay to the holders of the “Preferred Stock” an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price (i.e., $0.05 per share of Series A Preferred Stock), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preference Amount”). After full payment of the liquidation preference amount to the holders of the “Preferred Stock”, the Company will then distribute the remaining assets to holders of common stock, other junior preferred shares (if any) and the “Preferred Stock” on an as-if-converted-basis. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and senior to any other shares of preferred stock the Company may issue in the future.
Ventureo. LLC also paid $408 in expense incurred on behalf of AppSoft, Inc. and this amount is considered an additional capital contribution.

NOTE H—INCOME TAX
The Company provides for income taxes under (now included under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), 740), Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For Federal income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards that expire through 2030. The net operating loss carry forward as of September 30, 2018 is approximately $662,000 and as of December 31, 2017 is $595,000 approximately. The total deferred tax asset is approximately $139,000 and $119,000 for the periods September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because after evaluating our own potential tax uncertainties, the Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that have a greater than 50% likelihood of reversal if the Company were to be audited. The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:
The Company is not obligated to pay State Income Taxes because it is a Nevada corporation. The Company does not currently have any tax returns open for examination.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Report.
The information in this discussion and elsewhere in this Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, the words “may,” “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “continue” and similar expressions or variations identify forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Report, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. Factors that might cause such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to:
· | Our failure to develop or acquire and publish new Apps that achieve market acceptance or we do not continue to enhance our existing Apps. |
· | Our inability to maintain a good relationship with the markets where our Apps are distributed. |
· | Our inability to keep pace with technological changes and market conditions in the Apps industry. |
· | Our inability to compete against a wide range of companies that market Apps, many of which have significantly greater resources than we do. |
· | Our ability to obtain financing as and when needed on acceptable terms. |
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made by us, which speak only as of the date they are made. We disclaim any obligation, except as specifically required by law and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
AppSoft Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation organized on March 24, 2015 (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”), develops, publishes and markets mobile software applications for smartphones and tablet devices (“Apps”). Our Apps titles include games designed to appeal to a broad cross section of consumers and legal-related Apps that provide (i) compilations of federal and state laws and regulations across a variety of legal disciplines and (ii) digests of court decisions rendered by federal courts that are directed to legal professionals. We offer all of our game titles in both a free advertisement-supported version and a paid version that does not display ads. We believe that the ad supported versions allow for wider dissemination of our titles to consumers who might not otherwise spend money for an App without first playing the game.
We market, sell and distribute our games through direct-to-consumer digital storefronts, which currently comprises Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. We currently or expect to advertise our Apps through the digital storefronts, our own website, social media, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, through mobile ad networks and search engine optimization, or SEO, tools.
15 |
We are seeking to develop and acquire new Apps to expand our existing product offerings. We rely on third party designers, developers and programs to develop new Apps. We also solicit ideas for new titles from unrelated parties. We evaluate prospects based on a variety of factors. If we conclude that a particular prospect is worth pursuing, we may fund the development of the App through launch and beyond. We expect to release several new Apps during 2018, assuming we are able to obtain adequate funding to complete the development of these Apps.
We currently derive our revenue primarily from sales, or downloads, of our Apps and from advertisements published on our ad supported game titles. Over the course of 2018, we expect to generate revenue from the sale of software titles that we develop for own account, that are developed by third-parties which we acquired, or that have been developed for our benefit. Operating margins are dependent in part upon our ability to release new, commercially successful products and to manage effectively their development costs.
Over the last several years, mobile devices, including smartphone and tablets, have proliferated extensively around the world across a wide range of demographic groups. The Apps industry has experienced corresponding growth in the number of downloads, the number and types of Apps published. We believe that there will continue to be an increase in the number of smartphones and tablets sold. In addition, technological advances to these devices, including more powerful smartphones and tablets with larger screens provide a platform for more diverse Apps and make games more fun and visually appealing. We believe that technological developments will continue to drive growth in our industry for the foreseeable future.
Growth Strategies and Outlook
Our principal growth strategy entails developing and acquiring new Apps to supplement our existing Apps portfolio. Our primary focus will be to release new game titles. We are developing a pipeline of independent game designers, developers and programmers who provide us with new ideas and titles to publish. We also are soliciting new games and concepts that we may acquire from third parties. We will seek to develop and publish free-to-play games. Free-to-play games are games that a player can download and play for free, but which allow players to access a variety of additional content and features for a fee, through “in-app purchases” utilizing virtual currency they may be purchased through digital storefronts, and to engage with various advertisements and offers that generate revenues for us. We may seek to acquire franchises around which we develop games, including movies, television programs, toys and other cultural phenomena that lend themselves to gamification.
During 2016, we purchased an eSports tournament platform and the related software, trademarks and trade names; and other intellectual property. When we took control of these assets, they were fully developed and ready for live launch. Since the acquisition date, we have improved them by tailoring them towards our unique competitive strategy.
eSports (also known as electronic sports, competitive (video) gaming, professional (video) gaming, or pro gaming) are a form of competition that is facilitated by electronic systems, particularly video games; the input of players and teams as well as the output of the eSports system are mediated by human-computer interfaces. Most commonly, eSports take the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players. The most common video game genres associated with eSports are real-time strategy, fighting, first-person shooter (FPS), and multiplayer online battle arena. Tournaments such as The International, the League of Legends World Championship, the Battle.net World Championship Series, the Evolution Championship Series, and the Intel Extreme Masters provide live broadcasts of the competition, and prize money and salaries to competitors.
eSports have become popular worldwide, not only with participants but also with fans who watch them online and in public spaces, including arenas. According to Statista, an online statistics gathering and dissemination portal, during 2015, there were 162 million frequent viewers and 161 occasional viewers of eSports worldwide. During 2014, “Newzoo Esports” reported that eSports revenue, which comprises media rights, merchandise, tickets, advertising, sponsorship and game publisher fees, was $194 million, which climbed to $325 million in 2015 and which Newzoo estimates could grow to and over $1.1 billion in 2019, which would represent a compound annual growth rate of 42.2% from 2014 through 2019.
Our App will provide eSports players with an easy-to-use platform that provides fair, transparent, and prompt payouts for prize tournaments. We will differentiate our product from competing platforms by focusing on casual games and mobile games. We also expect to focus on direct integrations with existing game publishers enabling them to offer prize tournaments to their existing player base.
16 |
During 2016, we acquired a suite of concepts, artwork, story lines and related computer software in connection with a computer game titled “CryptoGene,” for mobile application. CryptoGene represents a potential franchise that we can develop and roll out over multiple platforms, including as an App and video game version, graphic novels and other print and audio-visual media. This is a long-term project that will require significant capital and personnel resources.
Also during 2016, we acquired a product, which we call “GoDex”, is a Pokémon Go companion app for iOS and Android. The App uses sophisticated image recognition that will enable users to take screenshots of their Pokémon and have GoDex calculate its statistic, IV percentage, combat power calculations, and other statistics that players deem relevant to the Pokémon experience. The App also will provide users to send and receive in-App messages to and from team mates within a 10-kilometer radius. As GoDex develops, we expect that it will become a “one-stop-shop” for all Pokémon Go related tools.
Our ability to pursue and achieve our objectives is predicated on our receipt of meaningful revenue from sales of our existing Apps and those we may release in the future and from our ability to raise capital from outside sources.
Our revenues will depend significantly on growth in the mobile games market and our ability to develop or acquire and publish Apps that are well received by consumers. In addition, because our products are purchased with disposable income, our success is dependent on the overall strength of the economy in the United States. We expect to invest resources in research and development, analytics and marketing to introduce new Apps and continue to update our existing Apps, and to the extent that Apps into which we have invested significant capital are not successful, our business and financial condition could be harmed. We operate in an environment that is extremely competitive for users against a continually increasing number of developers, many of which are significantly larger than us and have other competitive advantages. We expect to allocate a material portion of our operating revenue and capital that we receive to sales and marketing initiatives in connection with the launch and promotion of our games in an effort to drive sales.
Our revenues further depend on maintaining our continued good relationship with the digital storefront operators, primarily Apple and Google, each of which could unilaterally alter their terms of service in ways that could harm our business.
Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability will depend not only on our ability to grow our revenues, but also on our ability to manage our operating expenses. Currently, we have one full-time employee, who receives compensation when and as determined by the board of directors. For the foreseeable further, we expect to utilize the services of independent contractors and consultants, who we believe are readily available for our purposes, in order to manage our personnel costs. We also will continue to maintain a virtual office as long as our operations permit to contain our office space overhead.
During fiscal 2017, our growth has been constrained by our lack of capital. We require additional capital to fund the development of Apps in process that we have developed internally or acquired from third parties. Capital will be utilized principally to retain the consultants who build our Apps, to fund marketing initiatives for our existing products and to launch and market Apps in development. We cannot be sure that the additional capital we require will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to develop or enhance our services and products, take advantage of future opportunities, repay debt obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Revenues
We recorded revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 period of $38 comprising revenues generated from downloads of our Apps and in-App advertising revenues, compared to revenue of $202 during the 2017 period. The decline in revenue is a result of our inability to advertise our products for lack of cash.
Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative, or SGA, expenses consist of expenses relating to, among other things, web hosting and email hosting costs, rent for our virtual office, and other general and administrative expenses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, our SGA expenses were $8,532, as compared to SGA expenses of $23,397 during the 2017 period.

Outside Services - Stock for Services represents shares of common stock issued to two consultants for services rendered and to be rendered to the Company in connection with the development and maintenance of our Apps. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we did not issue and common stock for services rendered by outside parties as compared to $123,500 in value of common stock in exchange for 247,000 shares of common stock 2017 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, the availability of credit facilities, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
As of September 30, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of ($34,202), compared to a working capital deficit of ($78,069) at December 31, 2017.
Since our inception, we have financed our operations through the sale of equity securities, from third party loans and from internally generated revenue from operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we borrowed an aggregate of $55,926 from Empire State Financial, Inc. and its related parties (“ESFI”), which borrowings are evidenced by promissory notes that mature on December 1, 2018 and bear interest at the rate of 2% per year. In addition, through September 30, 2018, we have sold 5,714 shares of common stock in a private offering for an aggregate price of $6,000, or $1.05 per share.
Over the last two years, we have been borrowing funds from ESFI and its related parties to fund our operations in part. As of September 30, 2018, we owed ESFI and its related parties an aggregate of $146,135 principal amount, which loans are evidenced by promissory notes that mature on December 1, 2018. We do not have the cash on hand or other borrowing facilities available to repay the notes to ESFI when they mature. If we are unable to satisfy our debt to ESFI and its related parties on the maturity date, they could bring an action against us demanding payment of the total amount of principal and interest due under the notes and for the cost of collecting the notes, including their reasonable legal fees and the other costs they incur. If these parties were to obtain a judgment against us in the amount of the debt evidenced by the notes and its other costs, a court could enforce the judgment by requiring us to sell our assets. We currently are negotiating with ESFI to extend the maturity date of these loans.
Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to fund the development and acquisition of new Apps and for sales and marketing initiatives in connection with the launch and promotion of our games, as well as for working capital to fund our general corporate needs, including filing reports under the federal securities laws. We work with independent game designers, developers and programmers who provide us with new ideas and titles to publish. We also are soliciting new games and concepts that we may acquire from third parties. When we receive an idea for a new App, we research the commercial viability of the concept, undertaking an analysis of the cost to develop the App against its potential economic return. If we determine that the App is commercially viable, we may fund the cost of development, publication and marketing. Upon completion of development we will own the App title. Developing and publishing free-to-play games will require considerable capital to develop, maintain and update, particularly games we may seek to develop around popular movie, television, toy other cultural phenomena that lend themselves to gamification.

Since our customers pay for their purchases by credit or debit card at the time of sale, neither inventories nor receivables are relevant to our business.
We do not have any cash on hand and do not generated cash flow from operations sufficient to support our operations. During 2018, we have been selling securities to third parties and borrowing cash to fund our minimal operations during the period. As noted above, we require significant cash to effectuate all of our desired development and acquisition strategies and in connection with launching, marketing and promoting our games. We will continue to seek to fund acquisitions and to engage third party developers partially through the issuance of securities. However, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities or through other financing mechanisms. However, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to securities such financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

The decrease in cash used in operating activities was the result of our limited cash resources to deploy to our operations.

Going Concern
The notes to our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a deficit accumulated of $665,444 at September 30, 2018. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise because of this uncertainty
The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph suggests that we may not have sufficient liquidity, or minimum cash levels, to operate our business. Since our inception, we have incurred losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until such time as our Apps generate sufficient revenue to offset our research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our near-term operational plans described elsewhere in this report. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our operational plans. We cannot be sure that the additional capital we require will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to develop or enhance our services and products, take advantage of future opportunities, repay debt obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet and Other Arrangements
We do not engage in any activities involving variable interest entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we might not be able to fully offset these higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates its estimates based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company believes that its significant accounting policies affect its more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note C to our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2017. We do not believe that there has been any significant change in the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure: We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and who we refer to herein as our PEO, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s PEO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.
Management is in the process of determining how best to address this condition and implement a more effective system to ensure that information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to developed procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
