Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies	(a) Basis of presentation: These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, English Bay Office Management Limited (registered in British Columbia, Canada), Coral Reef Marketing Inc. (registered in Anguilla), Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., Bingo Acquisition Corp, Shoal Media Inc. (registered in Anguilla) (Note 3), and the 99% owned subsidiary, Bingo.com (UK) plc. (registered in the United Kingdom). Bingo.com N.V. (registered in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles) is included in the 2013 fiscal year but was sold on December 19, 2013 (Note 4). 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 U.S. 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 and judgment include the valuation of long-lived assets, software development, the collectability of accounts receivable, revenue recognition and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Although the Company believes that its approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ. (c) Revenue recognition: Gaming revenues have been recognized on the basis of total dollars wagered, less commissions on all games less all winnings payable to players. Advertising revenues have been recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks are made on the website and when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured. Cash received in advance of the advertising campaigns or impressions and clicks are recorded under unearned revenue. Trophy Bingo revenues have been recognized on the sale of in game purchases at the time of purchase. (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 the 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 income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings. (e) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of: The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment and ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others. During the periods presented, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheet are equipment, other assets, security deposits, and domain name rights. These provisions require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. (f) Domain name and intangible assets: The Company has capitalized the cost of the purchase of the domain name Bingo.com and was amortizing the cost over five years from the date of commencement of operations. In 2002, the Company suspended the amortization of the domain name cost in accordance with ASC 350, where companies are no longer required to amortize indefinite life assets but instead test the indefinite life intangible asset for impairment at least annually. The capitalized amount is based on the net present value of the minimum payments permitted under the terms of the purchase agreement. The domain name is tested for impairment by comparing the future cash flows of the domain name with its carrying value. The Company determined that as a result of level 3 unobservable inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that the fair value of the domain name exceeded the carrying value and therefore no impairment existed for the periods presented. (g) 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 once 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. Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company is amortizing the capitalized software development costs over a period of 3 years. The Company performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs, using a net realizable value test. 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 for the development of Trophy Bingo were $1,936,248 as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $1,446,038). (h) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy: In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments out of accumulated comprehensive income into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. As the Company has not ceased to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, requiring financial statements to be prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is "imminent." Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces (e.g., involuntary bankruptcy). In cases where a plan for liquidation was specified in the organization's governing documents at inception (e.g., limited-life entities), the organization should apply the liquidation basis of accounting only if the approved plan for liquidation differs from the plan for liquidation that was specified in the organization's governing documents. The ASU requires financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis to present relevant information about a company's resources and obligations in liquidation, including: (a) The organization's assets measured at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation, including any items it had not previously recognized under U.S. GAAP, that it expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities (e.g., trademarks); (b) The organization's liabilities as recognized and measured in accordance with existing guidance that applies to those liabilities; (c) Accrual of the costs it expects to incur and the income it expects to earn during liquidation, including any anticipated disposal costs. The amendments in ASU 2013-07 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this update had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists ("ASU 2013-11"), which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset in the financial statements, when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. If the deferred tax asset is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company's reported results of operations or financial position. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08), Under this revised guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations, such as a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business or a major equity method investment, will be presented as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for the Company in our first quarter of fiscal 2015, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The revenue guidance contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities, with no early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. There have been no other recent accounting standards, or changes in accounting standards, during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the recent accounting standards described in the Annual Report, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to us. (i) Financial instruments: (i) Fair values: The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities 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. (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. (j) Reclassification Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.
