NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Phoenix Apps Inc. (the “Company” or we), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 18, 2015 and commenced operations on November 30, 2015. The Company develops Android and Apple mobile applications. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

On November 30, 2015, we acquired a portfolio of mobile software applications for smartphones and tablets (“Apps”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between the Company and third parties.

Under the terms of the Agreement the parties agreed to sell certain assets, properties and contractual rights to the Company for $60,000 (the “Acquisition”). The $60,000 was paid by a related party and subsequently the Company provided 30,000,000 shares of common stock to the related party for the $60,000 payment and for $12,500 payment for legal fees. Further under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will employee two managers for a minimum term of one year. In addition, the individuals will be entitled to 10% of the Company’s annual profits as defined by the Agreement. The Company allocated the $60,000 purchase price to intangible assets as the assets purchased were without physical substance, and were paid by the related party. The intangible asset value was recorded as the full purchase price, and subsequently impaired as at December 31, 2015. Further under the terms of the Agreement the employees were issued a total of 300,000 shares of common stock valued at par, $0.002 per share.

On May 13, 2016, the Company’s offering of 15,000,000 shares at $0.01 per share for total proceeds of $150,000 received a notice of effect from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company commenced raising capital to fully implement its business plan. The offering was closed, and proceeds of $150,000 were received in relation to the 15,000,000 shares being issued, of which $25,000 was recorded as additional paid-in capital resulting from direct legal costs to complete the offering.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s year-end is December 31.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 605,”Revenue Recognition.” 

The Company recognizes revenue from services only when all of the following criteria have been met:

Revenue related to multi-media downloads is fully recognized when the above criteria are met.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Research and Development Expenses

We follow ASC 730-10, “Research and Development,” and expense research and development costs when incurred. Accordingly, research and development costs for Software and Apps are expensed when the work has been performed or milestone results have been achieved. Research and development costs of $4,490 and $600 were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-06, “Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960); Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962); Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Employee Benefit Plan Master Trust Reporting.” Among other things, the amendments require a plan’s interest in that master trust and any change in that interest to be presented in separate line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, respectively. The amendments also remove the requirement to disclose the percentage interest in the master trust for plans with divided interests and require that all plans disclose the dollar amount of their interest in each of those general types of investments. The amendments require all plans to disclose: (a) their master trust’s other asset and liability balances; and (b) the dollar amount of the plan’s interest in each of those balances. Lastly, the amendments eliminate redundant investment disclosures (e.g., those required by Topics 815 and 820) relating to 401(h) account assets. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period for which financial statements are presented. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-05, “Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The amendments clarify that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments also define the term in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments clarify that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. A contract that includes the transfer of ownership interests in one or more consolidated subsidiaries is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. The amendments clarify that an entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counterparty and derecognize each asset when a counterparty obtains control of it. Effective at the same time as the amendments in Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Therefore, public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the amendments in this Update to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the amendments in this Update to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance earlier as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance earlier as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance. An entity is required to apply the amendments in this Update at the same time that it applies the amendments in Update 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on its financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” These amendments eliminate 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. Effective for public business entities that are a SEC filers for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, however, early adoption is permitted with prospective application to any business development transaction.

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

As of the three months ended March 31, 2017, the accumulated deficit of the Company is $236,315. The Company believes that its existing capital resources may not be adequate to enable it to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2017 based on its current operating plan and condition. The Company expects cash flows from operating activities to improve, primarily as a result of an increase in revenue and a decrease in certain operating expenses, although there can be no assurance thereof. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such a time that the Company can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders or directors.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE 

On January 11, 2017, the Company issued a Promissory Note for $21,977. The note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum and the maturity date is December 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2017, the accrued interest related to this promissory note was $241.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.002 per share. The Board of Directors are authorized to divide the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. No shares of preferred stock have been issued.

Common Stock

The Company has authorized 190,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.002 per share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has 45,300,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company received proceeds in the total amount of $150,000 from investors under the Company’s current offering at $0.01 per share, of which $25,000 was recorded as additional paid-in capital resulting from direct legal costs to complete the offering. A total of 15,000,000 common shares related to the offering were issued on October 10, 2016.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2017 to the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate” or “continue,” or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and “our company” means Phoenix Apps Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

We were originally organized as a corporation in the State of Nevada on November 18, 2015, and on November 30, 2015, we acquired a portfolio of mobile software applications for smartphones and tablets (“Apps”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, entered into by and between the Company and the owners of the Apps, Corey Wadden and Saba Mirzaagha, both individuals residing in Ontario, Canada (“Asset Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we purchased the portfolio of Apps from Mr. Wadden and Mr. Mirzaagha for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000 and entered into an employment agreement with each of them. Pursuant to the employment agreements, which are effective January 6, 2016, each of Mr. Wadden and Mr. Mirzaagha are required to devote at least ten (10) hours per week to the Company’s business during their term of employment, which is for a minimum of one (1) year. After one (1) year, either party may terminate the agreement upon sixty (60) days notice to the other party. 

Under each employment agreement, we agreed to provide to Mr. Wadden and Mr. Mirzaagha each: (a) five hundred dollars ($500.00) for the first three (3) months following the effective date of January 6, 2016; (b) one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per month thereafter; (c) 150,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock effective November 30, 2015; and (d) an appointment to our Board of Directors. In addition, after the effective date of January 6, 2016, as an incentive payment, each of Mr. Wadden and Mr. Mirzaagha will be paid ten percent (10%) of the Company’s profits (with “profits” defined as the Company’s total revenue minus total expenses) on an annual basis while they are employed by the Company, pro-rated for partial years. 

We offer free Apps and paid Apps. Consumers download our Apps through the Apple App Store or the Amazon App Store. We believe that we have a unique strategy which we will utilize for our App development process. There are three essential steps which we will follow from inception to release.

Analyze - We study the market on a regular daily or weekly basis and study the top selling and popular new apps in order to discern what makes these apps popular and appealing.

Emulate – After studying the market, we screen top apps for ones that we feel we can improve on, cost effectively and efficiently. We take apps that have a proven demand in the marketplace, emulate the core concept and create what we believe to be a better product.

Development – The development is done both locally and overseas, depending on the complexity of the App, number of anticipated changes during development and price.

The markets for our Apps are characterized by rapid technological change, particularly in the technical capabilities of smartphones and tablets, and changing end-user preferences. Therefore, we will be required to continuously invest capital to innovate and publish new Apps and modify existing Apps. We cannot assure that we will have adequate capital to develop new Apps or modify existing Apps, or that we will be successful in creating new Apps.

Competition

We believe that the Apps have the following strengths and weaknesses, relative to the competition in the market:

Strengths and Opportunities

Weaknesses

Target Market

Phoenix Apps is focused on operating through the Apple App Store and the Amazon App Store.

Marketing Strategy

On the majority of the Apps we will develop, we intend to offer a free basic version to advertise for a paid premium version of the same App. We believe that free Apps will create the most opportunities for downloads of our Apps.

We will study analytics related to number of downloads of our Apps, daily rankings of our Apps in the Apple App Store and Amazon App Store, how often users use the Apps after purchasing, and sales of Apps. We will use the analytics to make changes to our Apps in an effort to increase sales of the Apps.

We also intend to utilize Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in an effort to build a customer base for our Apps.

Results of Operations

For the three (3) month period ended March 31 2017, we generated $591 in revenue and a net loss of $24,520. Our net loss was the result of interest expense of $241, and operating expenses of $24,279, which consisted of $750 in professional fees, $19,630 in general and administrative expenses and $4,490 in software development.

For the three (3) month period ended March 31, 2016, we generated $2,530 in revenue and a net loss of $8,519. Our net loss was the result of operating expenses of $11,049, which consisted of $6,775 in professional fees, $3,674 in general and administrative expenses and $600 in software development.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

For the three (3) months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $22,023. The negative cash flow for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2017 related to our net loss of $24,520, adjusted for an increase of $2,256 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase of $241 in accrued interest.

For the three (3) months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $6,775. The negative cash flow for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2016 related to our net loss of $8,519, adjusted for a decrease of $712 in accounts receivable, and an increase of $2,456 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Financing Activities

For the three (3) months ended March 31, 2017 net cash provided from financing activities was $21,977. The positive cash flow from financing activities for such period was comprised of $21,977 in proceeds from a promissory note.

For the three (3) months ended March 31, 2016 net cash provided from financing activities was $6,875. The positive cash flow from financing activities for such period was comprised of $12,500 in deferred offering costs, and $19,375 in advances received from a related party.

Liquidity

To date, we have funded our operations primarily with capital provided by our largest shareholder, proceeds from a promissory note, income from operations, and proceeds from our offering of common stock. We do not currently have commitments in regards to fixed costs.

As of March 31, 2017 the Company had $14,346 in cash on hand, compared to $14,392 of cash on hand as of December 31, 2016. Since the Company is unable to reasonably project its future revenue, it must presume that it will not generate revenue to sustain its operations during 2017 based on its current operating plan and condition. If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
