NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A)Business Description
Plyzer Technologies Inc. (the Company), incorporated on February 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada, and through its subsidiaries, is a provider of custom, real-time, cloud-based business intelligence solutions for brands to analyze critical online price and market data.
Plyzer Spain, a wholly owned subsidiary, commenced its operations in April 2019 and signed its first customer on June 20, 2019.
(B)Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheet, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with the SECs rules and regulations for interim reporting.
(C)Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and,
a.)Plyzer Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 9, 2016.
b.)Plyzer Technologies (Canada) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ontario, Canada on April 11, 2017.
c.)Plyzer Technologies Spain s.l., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Spain in April 2019
d.)PlyzerCan Intelligence Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ontario, Canada in June 2019. The subsidiary has not yet commenced any operations.
e.)Plyzer Blockchain Technologies Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ontario, Canada on November 3, 2017. The subsidiary has not yet commenced any operations.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019. The significant accounting policies followed are the same as those detailed in the said Annual Report except for the following new policies which were effective April 1, 2019:
Revenue Recognition
We adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).
We recognize revenues when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (that is, an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset.
F-6
Plyzer Technologies Inc.
Nine months ended December 31, 2019
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
To achieve that core principle, we apply the five steps defined under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We assess our revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if we are acting as principal or agent. Revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations are divided into separate distinct goods or services. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the goods or services provided. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer.
Revenue is recorded net of value-added tax.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amounts less an allowance for any uncollectible amount. We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required.
We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also record a general allowance as necessary.
Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivable or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts.
Leases
The Company adopted the new lease accounting standard ASC 842 effective April 1, 2019. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The Company does not currently have any leases over twelve months.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial position and revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 - "Earnings Per Share," the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method). The computation of basic loss per share for the period ended December 31, 2019 excludes potentially dilutive securities of 43,708,709 shares underlying share purchase warrants and convertible notes, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
| December 31, 2019 | March 31, 2019 |
Stock purchase warrants | 11,509,000 | 6,800,000 |
Convertible loans | 32,199,709 | 12,962,867 |
| 43,708,709 | 19,762,867 |
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Companys financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has recently begun commercializing its products but has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys success in securing more revenue and obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital or sale its services, it could be forced to cease operations, which raises doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Managements plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by seeking equity and/or debt financing. While the Company has so far been successful in raising the required capital through debt and equity financing, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will continue to be able to raise the funding required to complete its development work and commercial launch of the portal successfully in future.
NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, and ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU No. 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has determined that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will not have an impact on the financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, with a particular focus on Level 3 investments, by eliminating certain required disclosures and incorporating others. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, which aligns the requirements for a customer to capitalize 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. The standard is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will not have an impact on the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. 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. These amendments clarify and improve areas of guidance related to recently issued standards on the topics of credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurements. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which provides entities that have certain instruments an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which clarifies guidance on how to report expected recoveries. The amendments in these updates are effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this update eliminate the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply for tax purposes. It also simplifies GAAP for certain taxes. The amendments in these updates are effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company evaluates new pronouncements as issued and evaluates the effect of adoption on the Company at the time.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $39 million. The Company realized a net loss of approximately $8.2 million and $23 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

It has also made extensive efforts in securing more customers and increasing its revenues. The Company continued to secure additional convertible loans and equity financing and has raised net of approximately $307,000 to date through debt and equity financing and continue to secure new clients. However, there is no guarantee that efforts to raise further financing will success or result in the availability of the required funding.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management which currently basically comprises our Chief Executive and Financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive and financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, managements evaluation of controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Plyzer group companies have been detected.
