NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Elray Resources, Inc. (“Elray” or the “Company”), a Nevada Company formed on December 13, 2006, has been providing marketing and support for online gaming operations. The Company maintains its administrative office in Australia and its gaming operations is currently targeting the Asian market.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Elray have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2017 on Form 10-K filed on April 13, 2018.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are measured at their fair value on the balance sheet. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
|
·
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, short term debt payable, convertible notes payable, advances from shareholders, and derivative liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature except for derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement.
Revenues
Prior to January 1, 2018, revenues were recognized when the four basic criteria for recognition were met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) consideration is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company adopted new accounting guidance for revenue recognition effective January 1, 2018 which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company analyzes contracts to determine the appropriate revenue recognition using the following steps: (i) identification of contracts with customers; (ii) identification of distinct performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of contract transaction price; (iv) allocation of contract transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) determination of revenue recognition based on timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenues upon the satisfaction of its performance obligations (upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers) in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
All of the Company’s revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were related to intellectual properties (including CRM systems, payment gateway system and back office marketing systems) and related supporting services provided to one related party and were calculated based on end-users’ usage of online game content.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. On December 22, 2017, new federal tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States (the “2017 Tax Act”), resulting in significant changes from previous tax law. The 2017 Tax Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% effective January 1, 2018.
Tax benefits are initially recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially, and subsequently, measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. No deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities and preferred stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.
As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, potentially diluted loss per share excludes notes convertible to 35,143,230,000 and 35,398,290,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, potentially dilutive securities also include preferred stock convertible to 2,362 and 2,362 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively,
Subsequent Events
Elray evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued for disclosure purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.
Elray’s management does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Elray have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a loss of $3,906,316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The factor raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for Elray to continue as a going concern. Elray's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt, on an as needed basis, and in the longer term, revenues from the gambling business. Elray's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of its gambling business.
NOTE 3 – SETTLEMENT PAYABLE
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (“Tarpon”) whereby Tarpon acquired certain notes and accounts payable against the Company in the amount of $2,656,214. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and Tarpon submitted the settlement agreement to the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit, Leon County, Florida for a hearing on the fairness of the agreement and the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for the shares that will be issued to Tarpon for resale (“Settlement Shares”). 75% of the proceeds less all applicable fees and charges from the resale of the Settlement Shares will be remitted to the original claim holders of the Company (“Remittance Amount”). The Company agreed to issue sufficient shares to generate proceeds such that the aggregate Remittance Amount equals $2,656,214. The settlement agreement was effective on January 27, 2014 when the court granted approval.
There were no shares issued to Tarpon during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a cancellation and release agreement with Tarpon. Pursuant to the agreement, the outstanding balance of the original notes and accounts payable of the Company shall continue to be an obligation of the Company. The Company reclassified $1,689,905 of the outstanding settlement payable to short-term debt and $472,254 of the outstanding settlement payable to accounts payable.

On December 9, 2011, Elray entered into an Amended Splitrock Agreement whereby the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Splitrock. As part of the liabilities assumed in terms of the Amended Splitrock Agreement, the Company assumed notes payable of $292,929 bearing interest of 8% or 15% per annum. On January 27, 2014, the court granted an approval of the settlement agreement with Tarpon whereby the Company would issue shares to Tarpon for resale to pay off certain liabilities. See Note 3. As a result, principal of $247,500 and associated accrued interest acquired by Tarpon were reclassified to settlement payable. The remaining notes issued to Morchester International Limited not purchased by Tarpon are currently in default. The default had no effect on the notes’ interest rate.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES – NOTE CONVERSION FEATURE
Due to the conversion features contained in the convertible notes issued, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note as further described in Note 4 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted, and the Company could be required to issue an amount of shares that may cause it to exceed its authorized share amount. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the note and “marked to market” each reporting period through the income statement. The fair value of the conversion future of these notes was recognized as a derivative liability instrument and will be measured at fair value at each reporting period.
The Company remeasured the fair value of the instrument as of September 30, 2018, and recorded a loss of $3,062,005 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company determined the fair values of these liabilities using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:
