1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Kidoz Inc. (previously Shoal Games Ltd.) ("the Company") in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 21, 2019, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
Continuing operations
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing. The Company has reported losses from operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and has an accumulated deficit of $27,181,752 as at September 30, 2019. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts and settlement of the liability amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to generate cash flow, improve the Company's financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the Company's obligations. If management is unable to identify sources of additional cash flow in the short term, it may be required to further reduce or limit operations.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company acquired Kidoz Ltd. a company incorporated under the laws of Israel. (Note 3)
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and recognized revenues and expenses for the reporting periods.
Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. and the estimated interest rate of 12% for the license right of use assets and 4.12% for the rental unit right of use asset. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

(c) Revenue recognition:
Ad tech advertising revenues is recognized when advertising is served and when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes content revenue in accordance with general revenue recognition accounting guidance, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable.
The content revenue includes sale of in-game and premium purchases, net of platform fees, in-game advertising, subscriptions. and revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred, and the collection of the amounts are reasonably assured.
(d) Foreign currency:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency financial statements under Statement ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date.
Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are included in operations. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.
(e) Software Development Costs:
Software development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any software development costs are capitalized and amortized at the greater of the straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the related product.
If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. Although the Company believes that its approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and the Company may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.

(e) Software Development Costs: (Continued)
Total software development costs were $7,527,012 as at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $6,716,810).
(f) Equipment:
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for annually on the declining balance method over the following periods:
Equipment and computers 33.3%
Furniture and fixtures 20.0%
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposition of equipment are included in operations as realized.
(g) Stock-based compensation:
The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award.
The fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

(h) Right of use assets:
The Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. The Company evaluates the lease terms to determine whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, operating lease liabilities, current portion, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company leases do not provide an implicit rate, the

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)
(h) Right of use assets: (Continued)
Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, an asset and finance lease obligation is recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the property's fair market value. Finance lease obligations are classified as either current or long-term based on the due dates of future minimum lease payments, net of interest.
(i) Business Combinations:
When the Company acquires a business, the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated respective fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. The Company's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to non-operating income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
(j) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". The accounting standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing when such losses are recorded. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, the FASB

issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ( "ASU 2018-19") . ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which replaces the "incurred loss" impairment methodology with an approach based on "expected losses" to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.
The guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The Update also modified the accounting for available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Available-for-Sale Debt Securities . Credit losses relating to AFS debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The codification improvements in ASU 2019-04 clarify that an entity should include recoveries when estimating the allowance for credit losses. The amendments specify that expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off should be included in the valuation account and should not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off by the entity. In addition, for collateral dependent financial assets, the amendments clarify that an allowance for credit losses that is added to the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) should not exceed amounts previously written off. The amendment also clarifies FASB's intent to include all reinsurance recoverables that are within the scope of Topic 944 to be within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, regardless of the measurement basis of those recoverables. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance and has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In

addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.
The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this new ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework (Topic 840) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement", which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 instruments in the fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which requires implementation costs in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to be capitalized consistent with the rules in ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. This aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Costs incurred during the application development stage are to be capitalized and expensed according to their nature, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post- implementation stages are to be expensed. This ASU also contains guidance with regard to the amortization period, impairment and presentation within the financial statements. The ASU is required to be adopted by the Company during 2020, however early adoption is allowed in an interim period before then, and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to applicable costs on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and whether to early adopt.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2019-01"), Codification Improvements , which aligned the new leases guidance with existing guidance for fair

value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers. As a result, the fair value of the underlying asset at lease commencement is its cost, reflecting any volume or trade discounts that may apply. However, if there has been a significant lapse of time between when the underlying asset is acquired and when the lease commences, the definition of fair value (in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement) should be applied. More importantly, the ASU also exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide certain interim disclosures in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is allowed. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2019-05"). ASU 2019-05 provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments-Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company's financial statements for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2019. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
There have been no other recent accounting standards, or changes in accounting standards, during the period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the recent accounting standards described in the Annual Report, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to us.
(k) Financial instruments:
(i) Fair values:
The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short term loan and accounts payable and accrued liabilities - related party approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Cash is carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.
Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. The Company's cash was measured using Level 1 inputs. Stock-based compensation was measured using Level 2 inputs.

(ii) Foreign currency risk:
The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has not entered into any forward exchange contracts or other derivative instrument to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
3. Acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. :
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 52,450,286 shares for total consideration of $20,603,655 in the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding ordinary and preferred shares in the capital stock of Kidoz Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Kidoz Ltd. is a global kids' content distribution and monetization marketplace. The Company paid a commission of $130,000 and incurred transaction costs of $60,228. The acquisition closed with the effective date of acquisition being February 28, 2019.
The acquisition enables the global reach of Kidoz Ltd.'s content network to be combined with the Company's Rooplay subscription OTT platform.
This acquisition is accounted for as a business combination. On acquisition of Kidoz Ltd., the Company allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired. However, as certain information regarding Kidoz Ltd.'s, intangible assets and resulting goodwill is not yet finalized, these figures are subject to change. The provisional measurements of assets and liabilities may be retrospectively adjusted when new information is obtained until the final measurements are determined within one year of the acquisition date. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the provisional measurements have been updated to reflect new information on the fair value of the net assets received.
The Company has estimated the following assets and liabilities were acquired with the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd.

7. Promissory notes:
The Company has issued unsecured promissory notes from shareholders of the Company. The notes were repayable on September 30, 2018. The interest on the notes are 2% per annum, calculated and compounded annually and paid annually. Interest in arrears shall accrue interest. The unpaid principal amount due hereunder may be reduced to zero from time to time without affecting the validity of this note.
The promissory notes are accounted for by discounting the notes in a manner that reflects the entity's borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The Company applied an estimated market rate of 15% to the promissory notes. In doing so, the Company used the discounted cash flow approach to value the present value of the notes. The cash flow stream from the coupon interest payments and the final principal payment were discounted at 15% to arrive at the valuations. The Company used a deemed rate of 15% as the appropriate discount rate after examining the interest rates for similar instruments issued in the same time frame for similar companies without the conversion feature.
On March 31, 2017, the maturity date on the promissory notes was extended to April 1, 2020. The Company treated the change as an extinguishment and reissuance of the notes. The Company recognized a discount on the promissory notes of $94,191 from the extinguishment and reissuance of the notes. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the promissory notes were settled in exchange for the exercise of warrants and the notes were extinguished. Since the extinguishment of the promissory note is with related parties, then in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-2, the extinguishment transactions is in essence a capital transaction. The Company recognized accretion interest and accrued interest of $nil (September 30, 2018 - $18,796).

12. Right of Use assets:
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method. Topic 842 requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases, in addition to the finance lease assets and liabilities previously recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Beginning on January 1, 2019, our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the revised policies, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical policies. The modified retrospective transition method required the cumulative effect, if any, of initially applying the guidance to be recognized as an adjustment to our accumulated deficit as of our adoption date. As a result of adopting Topic 842, we recognized additional lease assets and liabilities of $5,834 as of January 1, 2019, in relation to the brand licenses we currently hold. There is no discount rate implicit in the license agreement so the Company estimated a 12% the discount rate for the incremental borrowing rate for the licenses as of the adoption date, January 1, 2019.
Effective April 1, 2019, we recognized lease assets and liabilities of $125,474, in relation to the Vancouver office. We estimated a discount rate of 4.12%.
There was no cumulative effect adjustment to our accumulated deficit as a result of initially applying the guidance.
We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842. Additionally, we elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, our current offices, we elected the short-term lease exemption, which allowed us to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for qualifying leases existing at transition and new leases we may enter into in the future.
Our operating leases primarily consist of license agreements for the use of certain brands. These arrangements typically do not transfer ownership of the underlying asset as we do not assume, nor do we intend to assume, the risks and rewards of ownership.
13. Related Party Transactions:
The Company has a liability of $nil (December 31, 2018 - $nil) to a company owned by a current director and officer of the Company for payment of consulting services rendered of $33,000 (September 30, 2018 - $33,000) by the current director and officer of the Company.

The business of Kidoz Ltd. was focused since inception on meeting these stringent requirements, making it one of the most respected and safe kids solution providers in the market. We connect the brands that kids love with the hundreds of millions of kids and families all over the world who enjoy free games, videos and apps on the Internet.
Without a safe advertising eco-system, this content cannot be free. The KIDOZ Safe Ad Network SDK is currently installed in more than 3,500 different apps engaging over 100 million kids a month, making it the most popular children focused mobile solution in the market. KIDOZ employs only contextual targeting and is not using any personal identifiers to target users, unlike most networks in today's sophisticated AdTech market that relies on personal identifiers to optimize campaign targeting. In the past few months, leading developers and publishers such as WildWorks, Budge Studio, PepyPlay, MyTown Games, Educa Studio, SmartStudy, Beansprites and dozens of others have begun to use the KIDOZ Safe Advertising Network.
The number of apps that use KIDOZ has been steadily increasing, due to the high demand for safe advertising systems by parents, regulators, Google, Apple, and app developers themselves. The KIDOZ system was designed from inception to not use any personal identifiers to target users and to have human curation of every campaign that goes live on the network so that no inappropriate ads will ever be seen in a KIDOZ powered app. In May 2019, Google announced that only ten networks globally, including KIDOZ, would be allowed to place ads into children's and family apps. In September 2019, Apple announced that it would enforce even tighter restrictions limiting kids' apps to use Ad networks that rely on contextual targeting only while performing human review of all ad creatives. Apple's restrictions make almost every network or programmatic platform non- compliant for kids' traffic, other than manually moderated networks like KIDOZ.
KIDOZ pursues both business-to-consumer strategies and business-to-business strategies with its Rooplay and KIDOZ product lines. With the Company's direct to consumer strategy, new users of Rooplay are created via paid performance marketing, search engine marketing, word-of-mouth, and from placements in the KIDOZ network. In the Company's business-to-business strategy, KIDOZ representatives sell advertising to premium brands such as Disney, Lego, Crayola, etc. and distribute these ads across the
Page 26
KIDOZ network. KIDOZ links these two strategies together to create a global content and distribution system.
Finally, regulation at the government level is increasing and positively influencing growth of the KIDOZ Safe Ad Network. COPPA in America and GDPR in Europe have forced advertisers and publishers to ensure their data and advertising methodologies are safe. Regulators in America are considering updating COPPA to further enhance child safety online, and regulators in China, India and other regions are considering similar measures. As KIDOZ is compliant, it benefits from all child-safe advertising regulation.
KIDOZ's other mobile products include the first mobile bingo game to feature a mega-brand; Garfield's Bingo (www.garfieldsbingo.com) live on Facebook Messenger, Android, and iOS; and Trophy Bingo (www.trophybingo.com), live across mobile platforms with over 600,000 installs. Trophy Bingo and Garfield's Bingo are innovative free-to-play mobile games with monetization achieved from in App purchases and short video advertising.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which except for lack of all detailed note disclosures, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these judgments and estimates, including whether there are any uncertainties as to compliance with the revenue recognition criteria described below, and recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as the assessment as to whether there are contingent assets and liabilities that should be recognized or disclosed for the consolidated financial statements to fairly present the information required to be set forth therein. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under 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 under different assumptions or conditions.
We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require the most subjective judgment:
- Revenue recognition;
- Software development
Revenue recognition:
Ad tech advertising revenues is recognized when advertising is served and when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes Content revenue in accordance with general revenue recognition accounting guidance, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable.
The Content Revenue includes sale of in-game and premium purchases, net of platform fees, in-game advertising, subscriptions. and revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred, and the collection of the amounts are reasonably assured.
Page 27
Software Development Costs:
Software development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any software development costs are capitalized and amortized at the greater of the straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the related product.
If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. Although the Company believes that its approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and the Company may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.
Total software development costs were $7,527,012 as at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $6,716,810).
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue, net of platform fees to Apple, Google and Amazon and withholding taxes, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, increased to $1,271,028, an increase from revenue of $40,942 for third quarter of 2018 and an increase from revenue of $818,286, in the second quarter of 2019. Ad Tech advertising revenue increased to $1,165,609 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an increase from ad tech advertising revenue of $579,052 in the second quarter of 2019. Content revenue increased to $105,419 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an increase from revenue of $40,942 in the third quarter of 2018 and a decrease from revenue of $239,234, in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in total revenue compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and the third of fiscal 2018, is due to acquisition of Kidoz Ltd and the strong demand for kid safe advertising generated by the introduction of strong regulations worldwide.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were $94,289 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 156% over expenses of $36,787 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and a decrease of 1% from selling and marketing expenses of $95,639 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase in sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018 is due to the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. in the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Selling and marketing expenses principally include sales staff and the publishing services and user acquisition costs to acquire players.
We expect to incur increased sales and marketing expenses to employ sales staff to selling the Ad tech advertising revenue and to grow the Ad tech advertising revenue and to bring new players to Rooplay; our Rooplay Originals; and our bingo games. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased traffic or significant additional revenue.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of premises costs for our offices, legal and professional fees, and other general corporate and office expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $134,085 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an increase from costs of $51,200 for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and a decrease of 23% from costs of $174,977 in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, is due to the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. The decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the second
Page 28
quarter of fiscal 2019 is due to the completion of reorganization costs incurred with the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. and the change in name to Kidoz Inc. incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.
We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.
Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits
Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits decreased to $136,762 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 5% compared to salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits of $143,477 in the third quarter of 2018 and a decrease of 5%, over salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits of $144,284 in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and the third quarter of fiscal 2018, is due to a reduction of staff and lower consulting charges.
Depreciation and amortization
Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Depreciation and amortization increased to $5,074 during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an increase over costs of $1,495 during the same quarter in the prior year and an decrease over costs of $4,811 in the second quarter of 2019. This increase in depreciation and amortization compared to the third of fiscal 2018, is due to the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. and acquisitions of equipment.

The Company does not capitalize its development costs. The Company expensed $270,441 in content and software development costs during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 30% in content and software development costs compared to content and software development costs of $207,483 expensed during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and a decrease of 5% in content and software development costs of $285,304 expensed during the second quarter of 2019. The decrease compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and the third of fiscal 2018, is due to the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd.
Stock-based compensation expense
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred non-cash stock compensation expenses of $5,015 from the issuance of stock options granted in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, an increase compared to stock-based compensation expense $3,574 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and an increase compared to stock-based compensation expense $4,950 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 . This increase compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and the second quarter of fiscal 2019 is due to stock options granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The options are issued to consultants and employees as per the Companies 2015 Stock Option Plan.
Acquisition of subsidiary
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company acquired Kidoz Ltd. and incurred finder's fee of $130,000 and legal expenses of $60,228.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company's management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, in the course of this evaluation, management considered certain internal control areas, in which we have made and are continuing to make changes to improve and enhance controls. Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2019, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective (at the "reasonable assurance" level mentioned above) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
From time-to-time, the Company and its management have conducted and will continue to conduct further reviews and, from time to time put in place additional documentation, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as its internal control over financial reporting. The Company may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness, as well as changes aimed at ensuring that the Company's systems evolve with, and meet the needs of, the Company's business. These changes may include changes necessary or desirable to address recommendations of the Company's management, its counsel and/or its independent auditors, including any recommendations of its independent auditors arising out of their audits and reviews of the Company's financial statements. These changes may include changes to the Company's own systems, as well as to the systems of businesses that the Company has acquired or that the Company may acquire in the future and will, if made, be intended to enhance the effectiveness of
Page 30
the Company's controls and procedures. The Company is also continually striving to improve its management and operational efficiency and the Company expects that its efforts in that regard will from time to time directly or indirectly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
