FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some discussions in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks and uncertainties and relate to future events or future financial performance. A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “project,” “plans,” “seek” and similar expressions or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. In some cases, you can also identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” below that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, you are directed to factors discussed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports or documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K. All written and oral forward-looking statements made subsequent to the date of this report and attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.

 

As used in this Form 10-K, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Yappa World Incorporated, which is also sometimes referred to as the “Company.”

 

YOU SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

Corporate History

 

Yappa World Incorporated (“Yappa,” “Yappa World,” “we,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 21, 2015. We are a development-stage company that offers audio and video commenting services for Internet websites, and mobile platforms. Our URL is yappaapp.com. We offer multimedia commenting tools, as part of a comprehensive strategy designed to maximize a website’s content/audience participation. Yappa is a service for online communities worldwide to have audio/video conversations, discussions and commentary.

 

The Company’s main phone number is (424) 288-9022. Its principal operations are conducted from its office at 4201 Via Marina, Unit D402, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292. We are located on the Internet at www.Yappaapp.com.

 

Business

 

Yappa is an audio video commenting tool available on mobile & desktop that allows users/followers to post comments that are seamlessly integrated into your blog/radio/podcast platform, creating rich new media that is also shareable on all other social channels, in ways that text based comments cannot deliver. By innovating and elevating the commenting experience, Yappa offers a new way to communicate. Unlike the current text format available, Yappa delivers audible visual comments, removing limitations of the traditional text-based approach. Yappa does not moderate comments on the sites that use our service. If a comment the user makes gets deleted or not posted, it is done so at the discretion of the site publisher. Each community using Yappa establishes their own standards for etiquette, social morale standing, and acceptable language.

 

As the internet continues to grow and competition for website visitors increases across numerous sectors, management believes demand for innovative ways to communicate around content will also continue to grow. One of the ways we intend to compete in the comment space is by initially targeting the radio industry. Yappa provides a unique solution where radio stations can communicate with their audience via audio, integrating user audio content into live broadcasts without relying on live, on-air interactions. The Yappa management team believes that integrating the Yappa tool as the primary tool of communication between radio stations and their audience, provides the perfect product-market-fit. Yappa will seek to partner with some of the biggest radio brands to deliver this innovative communication tool, to radio audiences across the globe. Using the Yappa client dashboard, radio programmers can access user comments, export the audio, and integrate the media within their live radio broadcasts.

 

As part of the analytical delivery strategy, we have developed a back-end Client Comment Management Program (CCMP) that will automate a website’s audible comment traffic. This will be achieved through transcribing audible comments to text. The text will then be indexed as key words which can identify quickly what users are talking about, from the CCMP. This also allows for audible comment threads to be searchable via topics, categories, and trends.

 

There are numerous websites and internet blogs that provide comment sections for users without benefiting from any valuable user data. Based on the needs of a client’s website, we provide back-end analytical comment data with the objective of converting audible comments and conversations into real-time valuable data. This is primarily a result of how closely the content on the site relates to what users are discussing. This can be critical data in understanding the type of content users want to see on the website. To use the Yappa service, an email address, username, or Facebook login is required. We use personally identifiable information to deliver the service, to comply with reasonable requests of law enforcement, and recommend additional content to the user, some of which may include content from advertisers. Usage of advertising will be made clear to our users once we have defined procedures.

 

Management believes the successful development and marketing of this software will be key to our growth as it will allow us to provide an audio/video commenting solution in a scalable fashion with recurring revenue. Our initial entry to market will be focused on the on boarding of notable radio brands, podcast channels, news outlets, and broadcasters with active audiences/listeners ranging from 200,000 – 4,000,000 per day, per platform, globally. With the advent of social media consumption, and the migration of an increasing number of audio and video applications utilized on the web, management believes that an innovative web-based commenting tools will appeal to the market.

Technical Infrastructure

 

How Yappa works

 

The Yappa Widget is installed via a JavaScript plugin into the publisher’s site. Once the widget is installed it prompts a call to Yappa’s API (application program interface) to validate if the publisher’s domain (in which the widget has been set) is authorized. If so, the API will return the widget rendered served in a static server and targeted to an iframe set by the plugin within the publisher’s site.

 

Once the widget has been loaded, the API will make a request to retrieve all the “Yaps” to be shown publicly. About the visibility of the Yaps, any anonymous user can browse all the Yaps listed. But only the registered, logged and valid users (because users can be banned) will be able to publish a new Yap, leave a reply, add a flag or even vote on other Yaps. Yappa uses Passport to register the users based upon their profiles in the most known social media platforms.

 

The Uploading

 

There are three possible formats to upload a “Yap”: recording audio, recording video or uploading a video/audio file. All onsite recordings are immediately encoded. All files uploaded offline will be sent as multipart requests. Lastly all the files are cached and distributed to enhance the performance.

 

It is anticipated that we will seek to generate revenues in one of the following ways:

 

  Subscription Fees:

 

Our core monetization strategy relies on the on boarding of our target audience, which includes, but not limited to: website publishers/owners, forums, radio stations/brands, entertainment platforms, bloggers, and other digital based business’ that have an audience, sizeable web traffic, and/or an active commenting community. Part of this strategy will be to allow our target audience to install and use the commenting tool. This will give access to all the product features including the premium administration tool known (CCMP) under a limited time ‘freemium’ model, with a subscription paywall at the end of the free trial period (for example, 30 – 60 days). The CCMP delivers critical analytical data (which may include but not limited to the user’s gender, location, and age) relating to the end user comments and interactions on their website, through the Yappa commenting tool. To continue using the Yappa tool, the website owner will be presented with two options at the end of the trial period:

 

  OPTION 1: Continue using the Yappa Tool and have access to all features, including the CCMP for a subscription fee. We have not yet decided on what the subscription fee will be, as we are still gaining critical data on what website owners will be willing to pay according to the value of the data they will be receiving. We anticipate targeting a tiered model starting at $9.99 per month, and going up to $199.99 per month for enterprise customers, depending on website traffic, average comments per day/week/month, and comment storage requirements. As a subscriber, the website owner will also have the option of allowing their audience to be exposed to ads through the Yappa tool, and the frequency of such ads. We anticipate that Ad revenue will be shared with the website owner, according to industry standard rates.
     
  OPTION 2: Continue using the Yappa tool and have access to a set of basic features, free of charge. Under this model, there will be restrictions on backend CCMP access, amongst other feature restrictions. In addition, website owners will not have permissions to control the frequency of ads that will be exposed to their audience. However, the website owner will receive a shared portion of ad revenue, according to industry standard rates.

  Ad Revenue Model:

 

Continuing from the description above, Yappa will seek to include ads in before/after content consumption as static banners or images, or in video format. Yappa may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on the Yappa tool. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to the end-user’s browser or mobile device, the ads and ad links that appear on the Yappa tool, and these third parties will automatically receive the end-user’s IP address when they do so. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, device identifiers, location data, and clear gifs) to compile information about the end-user browser’s or device’s visits and usage patterns on the Yappa tool, and to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize the advertising content.

 

Employees

 

We employ two persons on a full-time basis, Jennifer Dyer (CEO, President, Director) and Kiaran Sim (COO, Director). We employ our CFO, Mario Beckles, and our Senior Project Manager (non-executive), Julia Pavlov on a part time basis.

 

Competition

 

We have a mix of competitors, from the point of online commenting, Disqus, and Livefyre, are the most used commenting platforms. From the point of integrating Yappa on air within primetime Radio, and programming networks, our main competition is Twitter, which is the most used social platform within that sphere. Anchor is a much newer platform that resembles something closer to our USP.

Jennifer Dyer (CEO, President and Director) is currently providing offices, internet access and phones to the Company at a monthly rent of $2,000. The term is month to month.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

 

Market Information

 

There is no established public trading market for our securities and a regular trading market may not develop, or if developed, may not be sustained. A stockholder in all likelihood, therefore, will not be able to resell his or her securities should he or he desire to do so when eligible for public resale. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops. We have no plans, proposals, arrangements, or understandings with any person with regard to the development of a trading market in any of our securities.

 

To have our shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our Common Stock. We have not had conversations with nor engaged any market maker to file our application on Form 211 with FINRA. No assurances can be made that we will be able to obtain a sponsor to file our application.

 

Stockholders

 

As of the date of this Annual Report, we had 50 holders of record of our Common Stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have not declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts, as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

Equity Compensation Plans

 

We currently do not maintain an equity compensation plan.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.

 

Overview

 

We are a development stage company. We have not yet generated or realized any revenues from business operations. Over the next twelve months, the Company intends to focus on converting the initiatives and ideas described above into revenue. The strategy and timeline for each initiative may vary, but for each initiative, we will focus on:

 

1) Partners. We will attempt to leverage relationships to acquire new and strategic partners to utilize the potential of the Yappa tool and maximize growth potential and scalability.

 

2) Sales and Marketing. Our planned go-to-market strategy is two-pronged, focusing on creating rapid growth, while attempting to utilize minimal in-house resources. On board key websites, radio stations, and podcast platforms that have built large communities of commentators to install the Yappa tool. Management will attempt to build relationships with radio stations, bloggers, podcasts, website publishers and larger active forums.

 

4) General Administration. Our management is keeping our expenses extremely low to minimize the additional cash required to sustain the Company through the next twelve months. We will rely on our officers to provide all general administration.

 

We plan to use outside consultants and service companies from time to time for various tasks in the sales, development and manufacturing of our products and product launch and distribution, under provider contracts, to the extent that we are not able to perform the required functions. Using such outside vendors may make a particular task more expensive, but we believe that using such experts should improve the outcome or speed up the timing of product development and time to market. There is no assurance that we will be able to control the costs and deliveries of such activities in the same manner as if we were performing the tasks ourselves, and therefore we are subject to the usual risks of using outside providers.

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. Our revenues have been minimal to date, and we must raise cash from sources other than through our product offering. The Company currently has no arrangements in place for additional financing. Our success or failure will be initially determined by the availability of additional financing and, thereafter by our success in implementing our business plan.

 

If, in the discretion of our management, it appears that the prospect of implementing any component of our business plan is promising, we will attempt to raise additional money through a private placement, public offering or through loans. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we will either have to suspend activities until we do raise the cash, or cease activities entirely.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Revenue

 

We did not generate any revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 nor any for the year ended December 31, 2016, and we sustained net losses of $2,077,636 and $338,484 respectively. This increase in net losses is primarily attributable to increase in general and administrative expenses and professional fees.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017, amounted to $1,999,472, compared to $192,899 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to increase in professional fees associated with the issuance of preferred stock to the Company’s CEO and COO as well as accrued compensation. In addition, there was an increase in accounting and legal expenses associated with registering the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and Development expense decreased by $22,173 to $60,117 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $82,290 for the year ended December 31, 2016. This is because of less activity in R & D because of a reduction in funding during 2017 in addition to diversion of funds toward accounting, legal and regulatory expenses associated with registering the Company’s securities with Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Interest Expense/Income

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017 interest expense decreased by $45,462 to $17,833 from the prior year. The decrease is due to the conversion of interest bearing convertible notes that converted on April 30, 2017, compared to 2016 where there were no convertible note conversions.

 

Exchange Loss

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company incurred an exchange loss of $213, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2016. This exchange rate loss was incurred as a result of a common stock subscription received by an overseas investor.

 

Net Loss

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred a net loss of $2,077,636, compared to a net loss of $338,484 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to increase in professional fees associated with the issuance of preferred stock to the Company’s CEO and COO. In addition, there was an increase in accounting and legal expense associated with registering the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2017, we have $22,992 in current assets and $33,495 in current liabilities. Our total assets were $24,611 and our total liabilities were $187,581. We had $22,992 in cash and our working capital deficit was $162,970.

Cash Flows:

 

   For the years ended 
   December 31, 
   2017   2016 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities  $(405,007)  $(144,277)
Cash Flows from Investing Activities   -    - 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities   425,540    145,488 
Effects of Currency Translations   -    - 
Net increase in cash  $20,533   $1,248 

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 was $425,540 compared to $145,488 for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in funding during the twelve months of 2017.

 

Net cash used in operations was $405,007 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $144,277 for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the Company’s cash resources as a result of increased funding during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2017.

 

We have substantial capital resource requirements and have incurred significant losses since inception. As of December 31, 2017, we had $22,992 in cash. Based upon our current business plans, we will need considerable cash investments to be successful. Such capital requirements are in excess of what we have in available cash and what we currently have commitment for. Therefore, we do not have enough available cash to meet our obligations over the next 12 months.

 

Currently the Company is unable to pay the salaries to Ms. Dyer and Mr. Sim (as set forth below) pursuant to their respective employment agreements. Ms. Dyer and Mr. Sim have agreed to defer salary until such time as they deem the Company is able to pay such sums, but such deferral is at their discretion and can make a demand for such payments at any time. We intend to fund these commitments through the development of our business, generating revenues and raising capital.

 

Our current cash requirements are significant due to planned development and marketing of our current product, and we anticipate generating losses. We anticipate that the minimum funding required to remain in business for at last least the next 12 months will be $300,000.

 

In order to execute on our plan of operations over the next 12 months, we will need to raise additional amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify or delay our business plan.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

 

We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact or consolidated financial statement. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
  Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
  The fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and
  Collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement - The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.

 

Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed - The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Monthly services are considered to be performed ratably over the term of the arrangement. Professional consulting services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location.

 

The Fee for the Arrangement Is Fixed or Determinable - Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for most monthly services, professional consulting services, and equipment sales and rentals are fixed under the terms of the written contract. Fees for certain monthly services, including certain portions of networking, storage, and content distribution and caching services, are variable based on an objectively determinable factor such as usage. Those factors are included in the written contract such that the customer’s fee is determinable. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.

 

Collectability Is Reasonably Assured - The Company determines that collectability is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectability is assessed on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectability is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of the year ended December 31, 2017, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the year ended December 31, 2017 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In performing the above-referenced assessment, our management identified the following material weaknesses:

 

  i) We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

  ii) We do not have an audit committee. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, is an important entity-level control over our financial statements.
     
  iii) We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud-related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

 

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Yappa World, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Yappa World, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

YAPPA WORLD INCORPORATED, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Accounting

 

Yappa World Incorporated (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation. The Company is a development-stage Company that offers audio and video commenting services for Internet websites. We offer multimedia commenting tools, as part of a comprehensive strategy designed to maximize a website’s content/audience participation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 21, 2015. On that date, the Company was authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 par value.

 

On August 14, 2015 the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation whereby it is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, having a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is a development stage enterprise devoting substantial efforts to establishing a new business, financial planning, raising capital, and research into products which may become part of the Company’s product portfolio. The Company has not realized significant sales through since inception. A development stage company is defined as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and, even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.

 

Note 2- Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in the development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.

 

Furniture and Fixtures

 

Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates determined to estimate the useful lives of the assets. The annual rates used in calculating depreciation is as follows:

 

Furniture five years straight-line

 

 F-6 
 

 

Long-lived assets

 

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment” which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposal value.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.

 

The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under the Federal tax laws.

 

Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the reliability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company values its convertible notes and amounts due to related partings and short-term loans payable under FASB ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

 

Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that can be obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s principal markets for these securities are the secondary institutional markets, and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets.

 

 F-7 
 

 

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The Company uses Level 3 to value its derivative instruments.

 

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.

 

Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company applies the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. The Company’s preferred shares do not feature any redemption rights within the holders’ control or conditional redemption features not within the Company’s control as of December 31, 2017.

 

Subsequent Event

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date when financial statements are available to be issued for disclosure consideration.

 

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company adopted guidance codified in ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The guidance simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected. Therefore, these costs will continue to be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method pursuant to ASC 835-30-35-2 through 35-3. The Company has applied this guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the Company’s financial statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for leases. The ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB's new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright-line tests in determining lease classification as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new guidance must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that provides a new requirement to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement. All of the guidance will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update addressing the classification and presentation of eight specific cash flow issues that currently result in diverse practices. The amendments provide guidance in the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, for nonpublic entities. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective approach. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 F-9 
 

 

On January 1, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Sim to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Company for a period of three years.
