NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation as at November 30, 2021.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The historical cost of acquiring an item of fixed assets includes the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use. Costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 years.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021.
Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, convertible notes and notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments due to their short term maturities.
Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities of Boatim Europe are translated into U.S. dollars at the respective rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded directly in equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and will be included as income or expense only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying entity. Boatim Europe considers its local currency (EURO) as its functional currency.
In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, monetary asset and liability accounts are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the US dollar, using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, nonmonetary accounts are translated using historical exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of Boatim Europe into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates:

Capitalized Software Development Costs
Computer software development costs related to software developed for internal use falls under the accounting guidance of ASC Topic 350-40, Intangibles Goodwill and Other–Internal Use Software, in which computer software costs are expensed as incurred during the preliminary project stage and capitalization begins in the application development stage once the capitalization criteria are met. Costs associated with post implementation activities are expensed as incurred.
Costs capitalized during the application development stage include external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software. During the three months ended November 30, 2021 and for the fiscal year ended to August 31, 2021, a total of $0 and $321,562 in software development costs has been incurred, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets, including intangibles, are 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 asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Long-lived assets were evaluated for impairment and the Company recorded impairment loss on Capitalized software development costs of $0 during the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Leases
As of September 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of “Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 Leases (ASC 842)” using the modified retrospective basis for all agreements
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all financing and operating leases with terms greater than twelve months. The lease liability is measured based on the present value of the lease payments not yet paid. The right-of-use asset is measured based on the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any direct costs incurred upon commencement of the lease. The right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and are tested for impairment in a manner consistent with the other long-lived assets held by the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260-10-45 “Earnings per Share”, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 [LG2], potential dilutive instruments were anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors and non-employees (effective September 1, 2019), the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the consolidated statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which modifies ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The ASU’s amendments are based on changes that were suggested by stakeholders as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative (i.e., the Board’s effort to reduce the complexity of accounting standards while maintaining or enhancing the helpfulness of information provided to financial statement users. This ASU was adopted by the Company on September 1, 2021. The Company evaluated and concluded that the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 in response EITF consensus. This ASU addresses how the issuer should account for modifications or exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options. Freestanding written call options (such as warrants) are sometimes issued to enhance the marketability of a company’s debt or common stock offering. Some of these warrants are classified as equity in the issuer’s financial statements but are not accounted for as either stock compensation or derivatives. US GAAP does not address how the issuer should account for modifications of these instruments. The FASB has approved an EITF consensus to fill that void. Under the new guidance, if the modification does not change the instrument’s classification as equity, the company that issued the warrants accounts for the modification as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. In general, if the fair value of the ‘new’ instrument is greater than the fair value of the ‘original’ instrument, the excess is recognized based on the substance of the transaction, as if the issuer had paid cash. The new rule is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 for both public and private companies. Transition is prospective. Early adoption is permitted, as discussed further below. The Company is evaluating whether this will have any impact of on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or in management’s opinion will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had no revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and incurred recurring losses. In addition, the Company had a negative working capital as of November 30, 2021 and has not completed its efforts to establish a stable source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on borrowings from related party to fund operating expenses. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The Company estimates expected volatility giving primary consideration to the historical volatility of its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the published yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term remaining equal to the expected life of the stock option. The expected lives of the stock options represent the estimated period of time until exercise or forfeiture and are based on the simplified method of using the mid-point between the vesting term and the original contractual term.
