Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Kidoz Inc. (“the Company”) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 30, 2022, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the TSX Venture Exchange. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
Continuing operations
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company expects to continue to achieve profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations for the next 12 months, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing.
Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to generate cash flow, improve the Company’s financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the Company’s obligations.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, has led to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including the Company’s. In early March 2020, the Company’s employees commenced working from home and commenced social distancing. This outbreak has affected spending, thereby affecting demand for the Company’s product and the Company’s business and results of operations. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the outbreak and while the pandemic appears to have slowed at this time its full continuing effects on the Company’s business, its future results of operations, or ability to raise funds remain impossible to predict.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies:
| (a) | Basis of presentation: |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to annual financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, there are the following dormant subsidiaries: Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., and Bingo Acquisition Corp.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
| (b) | Use of estimates: |
The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 include the collectability of accounts receivable, the valuation of stock-based compensation, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the useful lives of intangible assets, and the derivative liability – warrants valuation. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
| (c) | Revenue recognition: |
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from the sale of Ad tech advertising revenue.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
| (c) | Revenue recognition: (Continued) |
To achieve this core principle, the Company applied the following five steps:
1) Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred, whose impression count will form the basis of the revenue and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
3) Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. None of the Company’s contracts contain financing or variable consideration components.
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
| (c) | Revenue recognition: (Continued) |
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time as discussed in further detail under “Disaggregation of Revenue” below. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.
Disaggregation of Revenue
All of the Company’s performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company has the following revenue streams:
1) Ad tech advertising revenue - The Company generally offers these services under a customer contract Cost-per-Impression (CPM), Cost-Per-Install or CPI arrangements, Cost per completed video view or CPC and/or Cost-Per-Action or CPA arrangements with third-party advertisers and developers, as well as advertising aggregators, generally in the form of insertion orders that specify the type of arrangement (as detailed above) at particular set budget amounts/restraints. These advertiser customer contracts are generally short term in nature at less than one year as the budget amounts are typically spent in full within this time period. These agreements typically include the delivery of Ad tech advertising through partner networks, defined as publishers / developers, to home screens of devices and agree on whose results will be relied on from a revenue point of view.
The Company has concluded that the delivery of the Ad tech advertising is delivered at a point in time and, as such, has concluded these deliveries are a single performance obligation. The Company invoices fees which are generally variable based on the arrangement, which would typically include the number of impressions delivered at a specified price per application. For impressions delivered, revenue is recognized in the month in which the Company delivers the application to the end consumer or the month when the campaign ends.
2) Content revenue – The Company recognizes content revenue on the following forms of revenue:
a) Carriers and OEMs - The Company generally offers these services under a customer contract per tablet device license fee model with OEMs. Monthly or quarterly license fees are based on the OEM agreement with the number of devices the Kidoz Kid Mode is installed upon.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
| (c) | Revenue recognition: (Continued) |
b) The Company generates revenue through subscriptions or premium sales of Rooplay, (www.rooplay.com) the cloud-based EduGame system for kids to learn and play within its games on smartphones and tablet devices, such as Apple’s iPhone and iPad, and mobile devices utilizing Google’s Android operating system. Users can download the Company’s games through Digital Storefronts and decide to subscribe to the multiple of educational and fun games in the Rooplay, cloud-based EduGame system or make a premium per purchase of particular games. The revenue is recognized net of platform fees.
c) Rooplay licensing - The Company licenses its branded educational games under a monthly cost per game agreement license fee model. Monthly license fees are based on the number of games licensed.
d) In App purchases - The Company generates revenue through in-application purchases (“in-app purchases”) within its games; (i.e. Trophy Bingo (www.trophybingo.com)) on smartphones and tablet devices, such as Apple’s iPhone and iPad, and mobile devices utilizing Google’s Android operating system. Users can download the Company’s free-to-play games through Android, Amazon, iOS and Facebook Messenger (this was discontinued in fiscal 2021) and pay to acquire virtual currency which can be redeemed in the game for power plays. The initial download of the mobile game from the Digital Storefront does not create a contract under ASC 606 because of the lack of commercial substance; however, the separate election by the player to make an in-application purchase satisfies the criterion thus creating a contract under ASC 606.
The Company has identified the following performance obligations in these contracts:
i. Ongoing game related services such as hosting of game play, storage of customer content, when and if available content updates, maintaining the virtual currency management engine, tracking gameplay statistics, matchmaking as it relates to multiple player gameplay, etc.
ii. Obligation to the paying player to continue displaying and providing access to the virtual items within the game.
Neither of these obligations are considered distinct since the actual mobile game and the related ongoing services are both required to purchase and benefit from the related virtual items. As such, the Company’s performance obligations represent a single combined performance obligation which is to make the game and the ongoing game related services available to the players. The revenue is recognized net of platform fees.
| (d) | Software development costs: |
The Company expensed all software development costs as incurred for the period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized and the Company has no capitalized software development costs.

| (e) | Derivative liability – warrants |
The Company’s warrants have an exercise price in Canadian dollars whilst the Company’s functional currency is US Dollars. Therefore, in accordance with ASU 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, the warrants have a derivative liability value. This liability value has no effect on the cashflow of the Company and does not represent a cash payment of any kind.
| (f) | Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of: |
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.
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for annually on the straight-line method over the following periods:
| Amortization period | ||
| Ad Tech technology | ||
| Kidoz OS technology | ||
| Customer relationship |
| (g) | Goodwill: |
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
| (g) | Goodwill: (Continued) |
The goodwill impairment test is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss, and compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and is based on discounted future cash flows, based on market multiples applied to free cash flow. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions including the selection of control premiums, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue and expense growth rates, income tax rates, changes in working capital, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results, exogenous market conditions, or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit or the amount of the goodwill impairment charge. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company determined there was impairment of the goodwill.
| (h) | New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy: |
The Company has evaluated all of the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies through the filing date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
| (i) | Financial instruments and fair value measurements: |
(i) Fair values:
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on measurement date. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
| (i) | Financial instruments and fair value measurements: (Continued) |
When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates. These measurements are classified within Level 3.
Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
Fair value measurement includes the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty) will not be fulfilled. For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. For certain other financial assets and liabilities (certain Level 2 and Level 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.
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 and are therefore carried at their historical cost basis.
The government CEBA loan is classified as a financial liability and its fair value was determined using the effective interest rate method, and is carried at amortized cost.
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 and long-term cash equivalents were measured using Level 1 inputs. Stock-based compensation and derivative liability – warrants were measured using Level 2 inputs. Goodwill impairment was measured using Level 3 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.

OVERVIEW
Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KIDZ) owns the leading Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (“COPPA”) & General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) compliant contextual mobile advertising network that safely reaches hundreds of million kids, teens, and families every month. Google certified and Apple approved, Kidoz provides an essential suite of advertising technology that unites brands, content publishers and families. Trusted by Disney, Hasbro, Lego and more, the Kidoz Contextual Ad Network helps the world’s largest brands to safely reach and engage kids across thousands of mobile apps, websites and video channels. The Kidoz network does not use location or Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) data tracking commonly used in digital advertising. Instead, Kidoz has developed advanced contextual targeting tools to enable brands to reach their ideal customers with complete brand safety. A focused AdTech solution provider, the Kidoz SDK and Kidoz Programmatic network have become essential products in the digital advertising ecosystem. Our commitment to advertising privacy and safety has created one of the fastest growing mobile networks in the world.
Kidoz is the market leader in contextual mobile advertising and the segment is only beginning to develop as new rules and stricter regulations are enacted and enforced by Google, Apple, and governments around the world. Kidoz builds and maintains the Kidoz SDK (Software Development Kit) that app developers install into their apps before releasing them into the App Stores. The Kidoz SDK is the core of the advertising technology that enables Kidoz to access advertising impressions available for sale. The Kidoz proprietary advertising system is compliant with COPPA, GDPR-K and other regulations adopted to protect the privacy and security of minors. The Kidoz proprietary advertising technology is installed in thousands of different apps, making it the most popular contextual mobile solution in the market.
Kidoz has established its leadership position through continued investments into research and development. Mobile devices are the primary tool used for all digital activities in everyday life across the entire world. The predominance of mobile is well established and Kidoz is well positioned to benefit from the wide adoption of its technology across thousands of popular apps. As the number of active campaigns live on Kidoz has increased substantially over the past 18 months, Kidoz has recruited hundreds of new apps and developers that focus on a wide range of audience segments. As a result of Kidoz’s rapid growth, the Company is now able to expand beyond its core advertising audience of children, and begin to contextually target teens and parents for its brand partners.
Mobile AdTech systems are some of the most integrated and most valuable systems in the world. The scale of users we can reach with the Kidoz network is powerful and it opens many new opportunities for the Company. Extending our media offering beyond children is the first step we are taking as our sales and agency partners are interested in accessing these related segments of our traffic. Kidoz is experiencing a period of rapid growth and we are extending our business model in ways that will fill our huge available inventory with safe and high performing media.
Driving our revenue growth is strong underlying system growth for both users and publishers that are accessing the Kidoz technology. Media budgets continue to shift from linear TV to digital platforms like Kidoz as brands seek to engage their customers where families spend most of their screen time. In addition, regulation at the government level is positively influencing growth of the KIDOZ Safe Ad Network. COPPA in America and GDPR in Europe have forced advertisers and publishers to ensure their data and advertising methodologies are safe. Regulators in America are updating COPPA to further enhance child safety online, and regulators in China, India and other regions are considering similar measures. As Kidoz is compliant, the Company benefits from all child-safe advertising regulation.
Building on our performance in 2021, we plan to continue our successful growth strategies in 2022. Our sales, product, and operational strategies are custom fit to match the favourable regulatory, consumer, and technological trends occurring in the market. The Kidoz programmatic technology is live, growing, and actively filling publisher inventory with campaigns safely sourced from the programmatic marketplace. As Kidoz advances its multiple product offerings, new opportunities arise in the bountiful mobile advertising ecosystem that is projected by eMarketer to exceed over US$400 billion by 2023 (eMarketer). It is our intention to explore expanding, either through additional uses of our new technology platforms for the entire mobile advertising market, or via synergistic M&A.
| Page 26 |
Furthermore, while the focus of the Company is the development and expansion of the Kidoz Safe Ad Network, we are developing our technology to expand into new markets, increase the scope of our market to include teens and families in a safe and secure manner either through new connections to the wider mobile advertising market, including the introduction and operation of our programmatic system, or via synergistic M&A.
Kidoz’s mobile products include the Kid Mode Operating System installed on millions of OEM tablets worldwide, Rooplay (www.rooplay.com) the cloud-based EduGame system for kids to learn and play, Garfield’s Bingo (www.garfieldsbingo.com) live on Android, and iOS; and Trophy Bingo (www.trophybingo.com), live across mobile platforms.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which except for lack of all detailed note disclosures, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these judgments and estimates, including whether there are any uncertainties as to compliance with the revenue recognition criteria described below, and recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as the assessment as to whether there are contingent assets and liabilities that should be recognized or disclosed for the consolidated financial statements to fairly present the information required to be set forth therein. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require the most subjective judgment:
- Revenue recognition;
- Software development
- Impairment of long-lived assets
- Goodwill
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from the sale of Ad tech advertising revenue.
| Page 27 |
To achieve this core principle, the Company applied the following five steps:
1) Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred, whose impression count will form the basis of the revenue and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
3) Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. None of the Company’s contracts contain financing or variable consideration components.
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time as discussed in further detail under “Disaggregation of Revenue” below. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.
| Page 28 |
Disaggregation of Revenue
All of the Company’s performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company has the following revenue streams:
All of the Company’s performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company has the following revenue streams:
| 1) | Ad tech advertising revenue - The Company generally offers these services under a customer contract Cost-per-Impression (CPM), Cost-Per-Install or CPI arrangements, Cost per completed video view or CPC and/or Cost-Per-Action or CPA arrangements with third-party advertisers and developers, as well as advertising aggregators, generally in the form of insertion orders that specify the type of arrangement (as detailed above) at particular set budget amounts/restraints. These advertiser customer contracts are generally short term in nature at less than one year as the budget amounts are typically spent in full within this time period. These agreements typically include the delivery of Ad tech advertising through partner networks, defined as publishers / developers, to home screens of devices and agree on whose results will be relied on from a revenue point of view. |
| The Company has concluded that the delivery of the Ad tech advertising is delivered at a point in time and, as such, has concluded these deliveries are a single performance obligation. The Company invoices fees which are generally variable based on the arrangement, which would typically include the number of impressions delivered at a specified price per application. For impressions delivered, revenue is recognized in the month in which the Company delivers the application to the end consumer or the month when the campaign ends. | |
| 2) | Content revenue – The Company recognizes content revenue on the following forms of revenue: |
| a) Carriers and OEMs - The Company generally offers these services under a customer contract per tablet device license fee model with OEMs. Monthly or quarterly license fees are based on the OEM agreement with the number of devices the Kidoz Kid Mode is installed upon. | |
| b) The Company generates revenue through subscriptions or premium sales of Rooplay, (www.rooplay.com) the cloud-based EduGame system for kids to learn and play within its games on smartphones and tablet devices, such as Apple’s iPhone and iPad, and mobile devices utilizing Google’s Android operating system. Users can download the Company’s games through Digital Storefronts and decide to subscribe to the multiple of educational and fun games in the Rooplay, cloud-based EduGame system or make a premium per purchase of particular games. The revenue is recognized net of platform fees. | |
| c) Rooplay licensing - The Company licenses its branded educational games under a monthly cost per game agreement license fee model. Monthly license fees are based on the number of games licensed. | |
| d) In App purchases - The Company generates revenue through in-application purchases (“in-app purchases”) within its games; (i.e. Trophy Bingo (www.trophybingo.com)) on smartphones and tablet devices, such as Apple’s iPhone and iPad, and mobile devices utilizing Google’s Android operating system. Users can download the Company’s free-to-play games through Android, Amazon, iOS and Facebook Messenger (this was discontinued in fiscal 2021) and pay to acquire virtual currency which can be redeemed in the game for power plays. The initial download of the mobile game from the Digital Storefront does not create a contract under ASC 606 because of the lack of commercial substance; however, the separate election by the player to make an in-application purchase satisfies the criterion thus creating a contract under ASC 606. |
The Company has identified the following performance obligations in these contracts:
i. Ongoing game related services such as hosting of game play, storage of customer content, when and if available content updates, maintaining the virtual currency management engine, tracking gameplay statistics, matchmaking as it relates to multiple player gameplay, etc.
ii. Obligation to the paying player to continue displaying and providing access to the virtual items within the game.
Neither of these obligations are considered distinct since the actual mobile game and the related ongoing services are both required to purchase and benefit from the related virtual items. As such, the Company’s performance obligations represent a single combined performance obligation which is to make the game and the ongoing game related services available to the players. The revenue is recognized net of platform fees.

Software Development Costs
The Company expensed all software development costs as incurred for the period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As at June 30, 2022 and 2021, all capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized and the Company has no capitalized software development costs.
Total software development costs were $11,720,294 as at June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $10,559,601).
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
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.
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for annually on the straight-line method over the following periods:
| Amortization period | ||||
| Ad Tech technology | 5 years | |||
| Kidoz OS technology | 3 years | |||
| Customer relationship | 8 years |
Goodwill
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The goodwill impairment test is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss, and compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and is based on discounted future cash flows, based on market multiples applied to free cash flow. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions including the selection of control premiums, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue and expense growth rates, income tax rates, changes in working capital, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results, exogenous market conditions, or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit or the amount of the goodwill impairment charge. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company deemed there was no impairment of the goodwill.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue, net of platform fees (to Apple, Google and Amazon) and withholding taxes, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, increased to $2,513,613, an increase of 15% from revenue of $2,177,505 for the second quarter of 2021 and an increase of 10% from revenue of $2,283,974 in the first quarter of 2022. Ad Tech advertising revenue increased to $2,484,799 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 17% from ad tech advertising revenue of $2,120,500 in the second quarter of 2021, and an increase of 14% from revenue of $2,178,311 in the first quarter of 2022. Content revenue decreased to $28,814, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 49% from revenue of $57,005 in the second quarter of 2021, and a decrease of 73% from revenue of $105,663 in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in total revenue compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022 is due to the ongoing shift from TV advertising to mobile advertising with the strong demand for kid safe contextual advertising generated and the growth of the Performance business segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company focused on growing this business segment. In order to optimize and scale Performance and learn the requirements of our customers our margins were negatively affected in the first quarter in fiscal 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, our margins have improved slightly due to the knowledge gained and we believe we will continue to improve as we scale with recovered margins from the first quarter of 2022 going forward.
Selling and marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses were $251,788 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 39% over expenses of $181,144 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and an increase of 40% over expenses of $180,014 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase in sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, is due to an increase in sales and marketing staff to anticipated manage the growth in the Direct, Programmatic and Performance segments of our AdTech business.
We expect to incur increased sales and marketing expenses in selling the Ad tech advertising and to grow the Ad tech advertising revenue. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased traffic or significant additional revenue.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of premises costs for our offices, legal and professional fees, and other general corporate and office expenses. General and administrative expenses of $186,119 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 12% from costs of $166,361 for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and a decrease of 14% from costs of $215,894 for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 is due an increase in fees paid to our professional advisors and increased travel due to easing of COVID restrictions. The decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, is due to a decrease in fees paid to our professional advisors. This decrease is reduced by an increase in travel due to easing of COVID restrictions in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.

Stock awareness program
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021 the Company commenced a corporate stock awareness program. The Company engaged Research Capital Corporation, Agora Internet Relations Corp., Stockhouse Publishing Ltd. and Proactive for financial and capital markets advisory services and to assist with general market outreach to increase investor awareness as the Company continues to achieve important milestones and grow its investor base.

The decrease in Stock Awareness expenses compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021, is due to the costs of the warrants and shares issued to Research Capital Corporation in the second quarter fiscal 2021. The decrease in Stock Awareness expenses compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, is due to the reduction in campaign commitments.
Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits
Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits decreased to $149,559 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 42% compared to salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits of $256,336 in the second quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 46% compared to salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits of $278,199 in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022 is due to bonuses paid for our positive annual performance in the 2020 and 2021.
Depreciation and amortization
Intangible assets are amortized using a straight-line method over three to eight years. These intangible assets include customer lists, the technology for Kidoz OS and the software development kits (SDK) for our advertising platform. These intangible assets are as result of the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. The amortization for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $136,434, a decrease compared to amortization of $139,018 in the second quarter of 2021 and a decrease compared to amortization of $138,157 in the first quarter of 2022.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 is due equipment acquisitions and the decrease compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022 is due to the aging of the equipment.

The Company expensed $644,054 in content and software development costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 76% compared to content and software development costs of $366,046 expensed during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and an increase of 25% compared to content and software development costs of $516,639 expensed during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in development costs compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022 is due to hiring additional development staff and the outsourcing of certain software development to increase the development of our base technology.
Stock-based compensation expense
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $184,594 from the issuance of stock options granted in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, a decrease of 4% compared to stock-based compensation expense of $192,585 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and an increase of 15% compared to stock-based compensation expense of $159,998 the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

The options are issued to consultants and employees as per the Company’s amended 2015 Stock Option Plan.

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA (net income (loss) plus depreciation expense, amortization expense, interest, stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and other adjustments. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it more clearly highlights business trends that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report, including our unaudited consolidated financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company’s management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, in the course of this evaluation, management considered certain internal control areas, in which we have made and are continuing to make changes to improve and enhance controls. Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective (at the “reasonable assurance” level mentioned above) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
From time-to-time, the Company and its management have conducted and will continue to conduct further reviews and, from time to time put in place additional documentation, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as well as its internal control over financial reporting. The Company may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness, as well as changes aimed at ensuring that the Company’s systems evolve with, and meet the needs of, the Company’s business. These changes may include changes necessary or desirable to address recommendations of the Company’s management, its counsel and/or its independent auditors, including any recommendations of its independent auditors arising out of their audits and reviews of the Company’s financial statements. These changes may include changes to the Company’s own systems, as well as to the systems of businesses that the Company has acquired or that the Company may acquire in the future and will, if made, be intended to enhance the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures. The Company is also continually striving to improve its management and operational efficiency and the Company expects that its efforts in that regard will from time to time directly or indirectly affect the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
