Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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. Significant estimates include the relative fair value of assets acquired, valuation of intangible assets for impairment testing, valuation of share-based compensation, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Asset Acquisitions

Asset Acquisitions

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions of legal entities that do not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805 as asset acquisitions. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their relative fair value and no goodwill is recorded. Contingent consideration for assets acquired is measured and is recognized as an expense on the date the contingency occurs.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Nebula Software Corp. and Rebel Blockchain, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash

Cash

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had cash in banks exceeding the insured FDIC limit of $0 and $172,000, respectively.

 

Equity Method Investment

Equity Method Investment

 

The equity method is applied to investments in affiliated companies and joint ventures. An affiliated company is an entity which is not controlled by the Company, but for which the Company is able to exert significant influence over the decisions on financial and operating business policies. If the Company has 20% or more, but not more than 50%, of the voting rights of another entity, the Company is presumed to have significant influence over that entity. However, if a company has less than 20% of the voting rights and is able to exert significant influence, then the equity method should be applied. Under the equity method, the investment in an affiliated company or joint venture is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Company’s share of the net income or loss of the affiliated company or joint venture. When the Company’s share of losses of an affiliated company equals or exceeds it interest in the affiliated company or joint venture, the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. All intercompany profits have been eliminated in proportion to interests in affiliated companies or joint ventures.

 

Segments

Segments

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 —Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

  Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

 

  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

 

Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

 

The Company recorded intangible assets for an asset acquisition (See Note 5). The Company performs impairment tests on these assets to reduce such asset to their fair value as applicable. These are considered level 3 non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company may use both qualitative and quantitative techniques such as the income method to value such assets. At September 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment of intangible assets of $128,000, resulting in a net book value of zero.

 

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining where the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized $515,000 and $25,000 in marketing and advertising costs during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs consist of expenditures for the research and development of new products and technology. These costs are primarily expenses to vendors contracted to perform research projects and develop technology for the Company’s mobile gaming applications. Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for our stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “if converted” method.

 

The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

 

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

   June 30,
   2022  2021
Series A preferred shares   369,167,000    400,000,000 
Convertible notes   44,707,814     
Total potentially dilutive shares   413,874,814    400,000,000 

 

Based on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at June 30, 2022, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (2,000,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 utilizing the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts receivable. ASU No. 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. The Company does not expect the new guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
