Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has principally financed these losses from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of debt instruments.
The Company may be required to raise additional funds through various sources, such as equity and debt financings. While the Company believes it is probable that such financings could be secured, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support its operations or, if such funds are available, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet the Company’s needs or on terms acceptable to us.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had cash of approximately $497,000. Together with the Company’s current operational plan and budget, the Company believes that it is probable that it will have sufficient cash to fund its operations into at least the first quarter of 2021. However, actual results could differ materially from the Company’s projections.
On August 5, 2019 the Company entered into an Equity Purchase agreement with Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown”), whereby Crown are committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of new common stock from the Company at the Company’s option during the next three years. The amount is determined by the market value of trades and priced at an 18% discount to average market price. As of September 30, 2019, no shares have been sold under the Crown Equity Purchase plan. In coordination with the Equity Purchase Agreement the Company entered into a six month loan with Labrys Fund, LP of $180,000 issued at a 10% original issue discount, the Company therefore received net proceeds of $162,000 and an annual coupon rate of 12%.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Assets and liabilities other than those denominated in U.S. dollars, primarily in Singapore, the United Kingdom and China, are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the period. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange-rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in general and administrative expenses.
Accounts Receivable, Revenue Recognition and Concentrations
Performance Obligations - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under the revenue recognition standard. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts do not typically have variable consideration that needs to be considered when the contract consideration is allocated to each performance obligation.
Revenue Recognition – We recognize revenues from each business segment as described below:
— Discontinued operations
| 1 | Love Media House derives income from recording and video services. Income is recognized when the recording and video services are performed and the final customer product is delivered and the point at which the performance obligation is satisfied. These revenues are non-refundable. |
| 2 | Browning Productions derives income from the advertising associated with the airing of television series produced by Browning Productions and also license income from the show of series on certain channels based on the number of viewers attracted. Advertising revenue is recognized when the series to which the advertising relates is aired. |
— Continued operations
| 3 | Touchpoint – Revenue for the sale of the software license is recognized when the customer has use of the services and has access to use the software. Revenue from maintenance services are recognized as the services are provided and charged. |
8
The Company does not have off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September 30, 2019, two customers accounted for 100% of the accounts receivable balance and as of December 31, 2018, there was no accounts receivable balance. Three customers accounted for 100% of the revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and one customer accounted for 74% of the revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Income Taxes
The Company continually evaluates its uncertain income tax positions and may record a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.
Because tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations, significant judgment is required. As a result, the Company makes certain estimates and assumptions in: (1) calculating its income tax expense, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities; (2) determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets; and (3) evaluating the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the interest and penalties related to such uncertain tax positions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions may differ significantly from tax benefits ultimately realized. Historically the Company has not filed income tax returns and the related required informational filings in the US. Certain informational filings if not filed contain penalties and such penalties could be material. The Company is currently addressing this issue with advisors to determine the amount, if any, of potential payments due. Given the complexity of the issue the Company is unable to quantify a range of potential loss, if any. Accordingly no liability has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in respect of this matter.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive securities. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, outstanding warrants are antidilutive because of net losses, and as such, their effect has not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. Common shares issuable are considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal period. The Company makes estimates for, among other items, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, determination of future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of stock options and warrants, determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, and potential income tax assessments and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions, and other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which created a new Topic, ASC Topic 842 and established the core principle that a lessee should recognize the assets, representing rights-of-use, and liabilities to make lease payments, that arise from leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an election under which such assets and liabilities would not be recognized, and lease expense would be recognized generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in 2019 and was adopted by the Company for the year beginning January 1, 2019. The Company has evaluated the impact of this revised guidance on its financial statements and determined it had no material impact, as the Company has no leasing arrangements with terms greater than one year.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes subjective judgements about the expected life of the awards, forfeiture rates and stock price volatility.
Note 3. Discontinued operations
In November 2018, the management of the Company’s then 51% controlled subsidiary, Banana Whale Studios PTE Ltd. (“BWS”), entered into discussions whereby the Company would sell its shares of BWS to a third party. Under the agreement, which has an effective date of January 1, 2019, the Company received cash of $1,500,000 and a promissory note of $500,000 and the return of the 7,383,000 Company shares (pre-reverse split) issued on acquisition.
The Company realized a gain of $553,000 on the sale of its 51% interest in BWS during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company decided to put its interests in its subsidiaries Love Media House and Browning Productions for sale which sales are currently in negotiations. In connection with this determination the Company concluded the intangible assets related to these subsidiaries were impaired. Accordingly the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,440,000 which is included in the loss from discontinued operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report, and our annual report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
Business
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company concentrated its efforts and resources on expanding the Touchpoint software business and invested in the Touchpoint brand. Touchpoint is a robust fan engagement platform designed to enhance the fan experience and drive commercial aspects of the sport and entertainment business sectors.
Touchpoint is bringing fans closer to celebrities by providing access to proprietary content, and livestream events, as well as exclusive merchandise. The platform is optimized for iOS and Android, as well as internet and TV-based applications.
Touchpoint is in late stage negotiations with licensing customers in e-sports gaming and social media influencers to license the Touchpoint platform. We anticipate that entering into approximately five new licensing contracts in the near future, and that such licenses will bring significant revenues and status to the group. As we move forward with these significant wins, we are anticipating exponential growth in terms of revenue, profits and cash flows for 2020.
Due to operational difficulties and the performance of Love Media House and Browning Productions over recent months, the Company has decided to dispose of its ownership interests in those companies and as such has transferred their results into discontinued operations.

Revenue: Our revenue for continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $79,000 over the same period in 2018 due to the signing of the new Touchpoint licensing contracts.
Gross Deficit: Gross deficit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $57,000 as compared to $106,000 margin deficit for the three months ended September 30, 2018, the improvement was due to the increase in revenue of $79,000 offset by the increase in amortization of software development costs.
Operating Expenses: General and administrative expenses, acquisition related costs and depreciation incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $1,047,000, a significant reduction of approximately $110,000 when compared to the approximate figure of $1,157,000 incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The major reduction in costs related to consulting costs, due diligence and advisory costs incurred in the acquisitions undertaken in 2018.
Net Loss: Net loss for continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1,145,000 as compared to net loss of approximately $1,284,000 for the same period in 2018. The decrease in net loss is mainly attributable to the decrease in general and administrative expenses, as discussed above.
Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenue: Our revenue for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $130,000 as compared to approximately $108,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately $22,000, or 20.4%. The increase was due to license sales in Touchpoint Platform licenses.
Cost of Revenue: Cost of revenue for continuing operations was approximately $419,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2019 as compared to $338,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The main reason for the increase was the amortization charge of software development costs.
Gross Deficit: Gross margin deficit for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $289,000 as compared to a deficit of $230,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately $59,000. The increase was mainly due to the additional amortization charge of $81,000 offset by the increase in license revenue of $22,000 as set forth above.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for continuing operations, including general and administrative expenses, depreciation and acquisition costs were approximately $2,628,000 and $6,033,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The reduction in operating costs primarily related to the acquisition costs and fundraising costs incurred in 2018 that were not incurred in the same period in 2019.
Net Loss: Net loss for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $2,432,000 as compared to loss of approximately $6,675,000 for the same period in 2018. The net loss decrease was primarily due to the decrease in amortization charges, non-cash general and administrative expenses, and fundraising and acquisition costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018
The following table sets forth a summary of our net cash flows for the periods indicated:
| For the Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) | ||||||||
| 2019 | 2018 | |||||||
| Net cash flows from continuing operations | (1,323 | ) | (1,928 | ) | ||||
| Net cash flows from continuing investing activities | 1,360 | (109 | ) | |||||
| Net cash flows from continuing financing activities | 721 | 2,189 | ||||||
Net cash used by operating activities of continuing operations decreased to $1,323,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $1,928,000 for the same period in 2018. The decrease in cash used of approximately $605,000, was primarily as a result of a reduction in the losses incurred from continuing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Net cash raised from investing activities was approximately $1,360,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to net cash used of $109,000 in the comparable period in 2018. The difference was primarily the $1,500,000 raised from the initial proceeds on the 2019 sale of the Company’s holding in Banana Whale Studios Pte Ltd.
Net cash generated in financing activities was approximately $721,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $2,189,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The cash generated from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily from the loan from a related party whereas the net cash generated in the comparable period in 2018 was primarily generated from the sale of new shares of common stock, the exercise of common stock warrants and proceeds from convertible debt.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had cash of approximately $497,000 (excluding discontinued operations of approximately $2,000).
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This was due to certain deficiencies in our controls over financial reporting. In particular a lack of accounting personnel has resulted in an inability to segregate various accounting functions.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
14
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings and no material legal proceedings have been threatened by us or, to the best of our knowledge, against us.
Reference is made to the risks and uncertainties disclosed in Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019, which sections are incorporated by reference into this report. Prospective investors are encouraged to consider the risks described in our 2018 Form 10-K, and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Report and other information publicly disclosed or contained in documents we file with the SEC before purchasing our securities.
