Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Added
We test intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is determined by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to their carrying amount.
Removed
Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include valuation of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, estimates of deferred tax valuation allowances and the fair value of stock options issued for services.
Added
If the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss would be determined as the difference between the fair value of the assets and its carrying value.
Removed
Operating Expenses During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred operating expenses of $4,015,541 and $1,424,096, respectively, an increase of $2,591,445, or 182.0%. Operating consisted of the following: Research and development fees We enter into agreements with third-party developers that require us to make payments for game and software development services upon reaching the application development stage.
Added
Typically, the fair value of the assets would be determined using a discounted cash flow model which would be sensitive to judgments of what constitutes an asset group and certain assumptions such as estimated future financial performance, discount rates, and other assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value.
Removed
Generally, the increase in other general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 was attributable to a ramp up of operations which began in February 2023 following the Company’s IPO.
Added
There have been no material changes in the underlying assumptions and estimates used in these calculations in the relevant period. The accounting estimate related to asset impairments is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to make assumptions about the existence of impairment indicators and cash flows over future years.
Removed
On December 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $1,024,710, had short-term investments of $2,592,689, and had working capital of $3,372,503. On February 17, 2023, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and sold 140,563 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $49.80 per share for gross proceeds of $7,000,000.
Added
These assumptions impact the amount of an impairment, which could materially adversely impact the consolidated statements of operations.
Removed
We received net proceeds of $5,958,470 which is net of offering related expenses paid with proceeds of $1,041,530. We also reclassified $202,559 of deferred offering costs as of December 31, 2022 to additional paid in capital upon completing the IPO which resulted in total net proceeds, after equity issuance costs, of $5,755,871.
Added
We recognize compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees, and directors as an expense in the statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award.
Removed
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we used net cash in operations of $2,980,592 and purchased liquid short-term investments of $3,491,242.
Added
The fair value of each option granted is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, net of actual forfeitures. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Removed
On March 13, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor for the issuance and sale in a private placement of (i) 108,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 520,367 shares of Common Stock, (iii) series A warrants to purchase up to 628,367 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) series B warrants to purchase up to 628,367 shares Common Stock.
Added
The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model includes various assumptions, including the fair market value of our common stock, expected life of stock options, the expected volatility, and the expected risk-free interest rate, among others. These assumptions reflect our best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of our control.
Removed
The purchase price of each share of Common Stock and associated warrants was $5.57 and the purchase price of each pre-funded warrant and associated warrants was $5.569. The private placement closed on March 15, 2024 and the aggregate gross proceeds of $3,499,484, before deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
Added
As a result, if other assumptions had been used, stock-based compensation expense, as determined in accordance with authoritative guidance, could have been materially impacted. Furthermore, if we use different assumptions on future grants, stock-based compensation expense could be materially affected in future periods. Capital Expenditures We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time.
