Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 annual 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 condensed 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 filed April 25, 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the TSX Venture Exchange on SEDAR and the Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 condensed 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 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.

 

There have been many factors which have affected the world economies in recent years. These include global pandemics (i.e. coronavirus COVID-19), inflation, the war in Gaza and Ukraine and many more. These factors have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including the Company’s. These factors have affected spending, thereby affecting demand for the Company’s product and the Company’s business and its results of operations. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of these factors at this time and the full effects on the Company’s business, its future results of operations, or ability to raise funds.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies:

 

  (a) Basis of presentation:

 

These unaudited condensed 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 and the TSX Venture Exchange.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

 

  (a) Basis of presentation:

 

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries:

Schedule of Consolidation of Subsidiaries

 

Company  Registered  % Owned 
Shoal Media (Canada) Inc.  British Columbia, Canada   100%
Kidoz Ltd.  Israel   100%
Prado Media Ltd.  British Columbia, Canada   100%
Rooplay Media Kenya Limited  Kenya   100%
Shoal Media Inc.  Anguilla   100%
Shoal Media (UK) Ltd.  United Kingdom   100%

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Shoal Games (UK) Plc was discontinued. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Rooplay Media Kenya Limited was discontinued.

 

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 consolidated financial statements.

 

  (b) Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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, the inputs used in assessing goodwill impairment, 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.

4. 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 pricing and terms for all our in-game advertising arrangements are mostly governed by insertion order which generally stipulates the payment terms, the duration (usually short term in nature), the number of advertising units delivered (e.g. impressions, completed views, or cost per install) and the contractually agreed upon price per advertising unit. 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) Programmatic revenue - The Company generally offers these services under a programmatic bid on a Cost-per-Impression (CPM) basis. Our customers upload their advertisements into a demand side platform which then connects to our Publisher Software Development Kit (“SDK”) through an exchange platform and on a bid system agree on the CPM rate and the impressions to be served.

 

The Company has concluded that the delivery of the Programmatic advertising is delivered at the earlier of month end or at a point in time and, as such, has concluded these deliveries are a single performance obligation. The Company is deemed to be the principal in the transaction and therefore recognizes the revenue on a gross basis and commissions are recognized as cost of sales. 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.

 

3) Content revenue –The Company recognizes content revenue on the following forms of revenue:

 

a) Carriers and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“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.

  (c) Revenue recognition: (Continued)

 

b) Rooplay - 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. 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.

 

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 Technology Development Costs:

 

The Company expenses all software development costs as incurred for the period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. As at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, all capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized and the Company has no capitalized software development costs.

Total software development costs were $17,628,758 as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $16,055,557).

 

  (e) 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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

 

  (f) Intangible assets

 

The Company identified the following intangible assets in the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. Finite life intangible assets are recorded at historical cost less accumulated amortization based on their estimated useful life and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360. The Company does not have any indefinite life intangible assets. Amortization is provided for annually on the straight-line method over the following periods:

Schedule of Finite-Lived Intangible Assets, Amortization Period

 

    Amortization period
Ad Tech technology   5 years
Kidoz OS technology   3 years
Customer relationships   8 years

 

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, amortizable intangible assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group, the Company will write the carrying value down to the fair value in the period identified.

 

  (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.

 

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, 2023, there was no impairment of goodwill.

 

  (h) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies:

 

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires that segment expenses deemed significant to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) typically incorporated in measuring profit or loss of the segment should be disclosed. The guidance also requires that the difference between segment revenues and these significant segment expenses is disclosed. Any annually disclosed segment information is now required to be reported in interim periods as well. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means that it will be effective for our annual reporting for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

On December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

 

The Company has evaluated all 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 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:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

 

  (i) Financial instruments and fair value measurements: (Continued)

 

(i) Fair values: (Continued)

 

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.

 

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, accrued liabilities - related party and the government CEBA loan approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and are therefore carried at their historical cost basis.

 

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. Stock-based compensation and derivative liability – warrants were measured using Level 2 inputs. Goodwill impairment was measured using Level 3 inputs.

11. Commitments:

 

The Company leases office facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, British West Indies and Netanya, Israel. These office facilities are leased under operating lease agreements.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company signed a five-year lease for a facility in Vancouver, Canada, commencing April 1, 2020 and ending March 2024. The Company accounts for the lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842) and recognizes a right-of-use asset and operating lease liability. The lease on the Vancouver office expired on March 31, 2024 and was not renewed. Our Canadian staff will continue to work on a virtual basis.

 

The Netanya, Israel operating lease expired on July 14, 2017, but unless 3 months’ notice is given it automatically renews for a future 12 months until notice is given. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the lease was extended for a further 12 months. The renewal of this lease is uncertain, hence the Company has accounted for this lease as a short-term lease.

 

Minimum lease payments under these leases are approximately as follows:

 

Schedule of Minimum Lease Payments 

2024  $23,180 

 

The Company paid rent expense totaling $18,129 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (June 30, 2023 - $30,784).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

OVERVIEW

 

Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KIDZ) mission is to keep children safe in the complex digital advertising ecosystem. Kidoz Inc. 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. Our commitment to children’s privacy and safety has created one of the fastest growing mobile networks in the world. Trusted by Mattel, Disney, 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. 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.

 

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. In 2023, Kidoz released the Kidoz Privacy Shield technology which enables brand partners to buy media in safety across the entire mobile app ecosystem. 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 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

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 2022 and 2023, we plan to continue our successful growth strategies in 2024. 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.

 

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 and Rooplay (www.rooplay.com) the cloud-based EduGame system for kids to learn and play.

 

Additionally, Kidoz has created a wholly owned division called Prado to access the over 13 years of age family market, which will become active in 2023. The Prado (www.prado.co) technology will provide a leading mobile SSP (Supply-side Platform), DSP (Demand-side Platform) and Ad Exchange programmatically to the entire Ad Tech universe. By activating high-performance programmatic campaigns across thousands of apps on their network, Prado makes digital advertising more efficient and effective by simplifying the process across a connected technology platform. The Company is developing systems whereby our existing Kidsafe advertising will not be affected by Prado. Kidoz software engineers have now completed the challenging transformation of their market leading kid safe Ad Network to also reach the significantly larger digital ad market of teens, families, and audiences over 13 years old whilst not compromising the safety of our existing kids marketplace. The Prado technology plus our internal controls will ensure that no inappropriate advertisements will be served to children and thereby compromise kids’ safety.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

On March 4, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Kidoz Ltd. (“Kidoz”) (www.kidoz.net), a privately held Israeli company.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Kidoz Inc. is an AdTech software developer and owner of the leading mobile Kidoz Safe Ad Network (www.kidoz.net). We help create a free and safe mobile app environment for children by enabling content producers to monetize their apps and video with safe, relevant, and fun ads. Our commitment to family privacy and safety has created one of the fastest growing mobile networks in the world.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company launched a wholly owned division called Prado to advertise to the over 13 years of age family market. The Company has developed systems whereby our existing Kidsafe advertising will not be affected by Prado.

 

Product Strategy

 

Kidoz builds and maintains the Kidoz Safe Ad Network, the Kidoz SDK, and the Kidoz Privacy Shield for app developers and global advertisers to reach children and families in a compliant and brand safe way. The Kidoz SDK is the core of the advertising technology that enables Kidoz to have advertising impressions available for sale. The Kidoz proprietary advertising system is compliant with COPPA (“Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule”), GDPR-K (“The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation for children”) and other regulations adopted to protect children in a complex digital world. Kidoz technology is completely proprietary. Kidoz continues to upgrade its advertising systems to be compatible with the latest IAB (“International Advertising Board”) specifications for real-time-bidding, header bidding, and server-to-server direct connections. Our design and implementation of these solutions incorporates a view to their utilization not only in the kids’ marketplace but to the entire advertising market. Programmatic advertising is the use of automated advertising technology to enable media buying and selling as opposed to traditional direct methods of digital advertising which involve humans interfacing to agree to deal terms. Offering a managed programmatic solution of the best mobile advertising inventory is a valuable offering that our agency partners are utilizing with increased frequency and scale.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company launched a wholly owned division called Prado to access the over 13 years of age family market. The Prado (www.prado.co) technology will provide a leading mobile SSP (Supply-side Platform), DSP (Demand-side Platform) and Ad Exchange programmatically to the entire Ad Tech universe. By activating high-performance programmatic campaigns across thousands of apps on their network, Prado makes digital advertising more efficient and effective by simplifying the process across a connected technology platform. The Company has developed systems whereby our existing Kidsafe advertising will not be affected by Prado. Kidoz software engineers have now completed the challenging transformation of their market leading kid safe Ad Network to also reach the significantly larger digital ad market of teens, families, and audiences over 13 years old whilst not compromising the safety of our existing kids marketplace. The Prado technology plus our internal controls will ensure that no inappropriate advertisements will be served to children and thereby compromise kids’ safety.

 

Marketing & Distribution Strategy

 

Each new app that installs the Kidoz SDK increases our user base and increases the number of available impressions that Kidoz can monetize. The adoption of the Kidoz SDK has been rapid as app developers have few choices when it comes to sources of safe, compliant, and relevant ads for their users. Kidoz has built its brand and reputation as the market leader for safe child and family mobile advertising technology, and this has enabled our SDK to become quickly adopted. It is our strategy to invest in our systems and build alliances with the largest software companies in the world. Since Google’s certification of Kidoz and Apple’s updated rules endorsing Kidoz’s methodologies the Company is experiencing unprecedented demand for its safe advertising solutions.

Sales & Pricing Strategy

 

Kidoz has a global sales agency partnership strategy that places local sellers into dozens of national and international markets. Through our direct sales and marketing channels we locate, recruit, and sign new international sales houses. As the Kidoz network is a unique advertising platform in the market, it commands high prices and media sales houses aspire to represent the Company. Kidoz has found the agency partnership strategy to be highly effective as once sales houses are recruited and the first few campaigns are delivered with success, repeat customers are established and the value of the region begins to grow. After years of development with this strategy, Kidoz has many established sales houses in the largest economies of the world and is now tasked with increasing the value of each partnership and empowering the sales houses to increase the portion of advertisers’ budgets that is spent with Kidoz. The Kidoz Programmatic solution has created new opportunities for all of Kidoz’s agency partners as the solution creates inventory for brands who are building awareness with parents and teens in addition to children.

 

Growth Strategy

 

The Kidoz sales, product, and operational strategies are custom fit to match the favorable regulatory, consumer, and technological trends occurring in the market. It is the Kidoz mission to deliver best-in-class solutions for our advertiser and publisher partners that are compliant with Apple, Google, and strict government data privacy regulations. Kidoz technology is built with privacy as a priority, and we champion contextual advertising as a superior method of reaching target consumers. Kidoz publisher partners can monetize with human-curated safe advertising on a global scale and with the knowledge that their users’ data is not compromised.

 

Kidoz’s growth is also being propelled by a new customer type, the app developer themselves. Kidoz is increasingly utilized as a performance platform for apps to scale their installs and revenues by paying on a cost-per-install (“CPI”) basis. The global app install segment of mobile advertising is estimated to be over US$120B annually according to AppsFlyer. Kidoz continues to advance its software and systems to support this high growth business and the Company expects performance CPI media to be an increasing percentage of overall business.

 

Kidoz is growing as a result of its core media business, and we expect further growth in our expansion via our Prado division to include the teen and parent segments which became effective in 2023. Kidoz Connect is the latest product release to deliver enhanced value to our advertising partners as the technology enables Kidoz to ingest programmatic campaigns of all types and scale them across the entire Kidoz and Prado networks. The Kidoz commercial teams look forward to welcoming many new and existing customers to these offerings as we expand the Kidoz reach within the global digital advertising ecosystem.

 

Furthermore, while the focus of the Company is the development and expansion of the KIDOZ Safe Ad Network, we are investigating options to use our technology to expand into new markets, either through new connections to the wider mobile advertising market, or via synergistic M&A.

 

Kidoz Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”)

 

Kidoz’s mobile products includes the Kid Mode Operating System (“OS”) installed on millions of OEM tablets worldwide. The Company earns license fees based on the OEM agreements dependent on the number of devices the Kidoz Kid Mode OS is installed.

Rooplay

 

The Company owns Rooplay (www.rooplay.com) the cloud-based EduGame system for kids to play multiple games to learn and play. The platform is live on the Google’s Android system and has stand-alone games available on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android systems.

 

OPERATIONS

 

Employees

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had 47 employees, consultants, and independent contractors throughout the world including twenty full-time employees in Canada and Israel. Since 2006 it has been, and continues to be, the Company’s objective to control its costs by retaining consultants, as needed, to provide special expertise in developing internal strategic, marketing, accounting, and technical services. None of our employees or consultants are represented by a labor union, and we believe that our relationship with our employees and consultants is good.

 

We are substantially dependent upon the continued services and performance of J. M. Williams, Chief Executive Officer; Eldad Ben Tora, President of the Prado division & General Manager EMEA and T. M. Williams, Chairman. The loss of the services of these key individuals would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We do not carry any key man life insurance on any individuals.

 

Competition

 

Kidoz competes with other advertising technology providers that offer safe, COPPA compliant, products. These companies include Super Awesome and Google’s Admob. However, these competitors are not direct threats to Kidoz as their operations and strategies are quite different. For instance, Super Awesome, who maintains a COPPA SDK, sells a variety of media types and technologies unrelated to mobile inventory which is core to Kidoz. As a result, Super awesome is one of Kidoz largest customers. While on the other hand, Google’s Admob SDK is focused on mobile inventory, but is not human curated for child safety. As the technology barriers are high to enter the market with a mobile advertising network, few competitors exist for Kidoz. Kidoz offers a highly customized and targeted offering to advertisers that management believes will enable the Company to grow and succeed in the market.

 

The Kidoz Prado division has many competitors including Google, Meta, Facebook, and others significantly larger than Prado, but utilizing their own technologies to address the $400+ Billion Ad tech marketplace. Many of the brands like to source their advertising via a single supplier like Kidoz. Our Prado division enables Kidoz to meet this demand for those brands that wish to source their ad supplier for the entire family.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Overall Performance for the Three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue, net of platform fees (to Apple, and Google) and withholding taxes, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, increased to $2,479,175, an increase of 38% from revenue of $1,793,071 for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 13% from revenue of $2,814,239 for the second quarter of 2023. Ad Tech advertising revenue increased to $2,335,283 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 38% from ad tech advertising revenue of $1,695,140 in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 6% from ad tech advertising revenue of $2,495,469 for the second quarter of 2023.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Programmatic advertising revenue increased to $123,074 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 56% over Programmatic advertising revenue of $78,715 in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 52% over Programmatic advertising revenue of $254,776 in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Content revenue increased to $20,818, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 8% from Content revenue of $19,216 in the first quarter of 2024 and decrease of 67% over Content revenue of $63,994 in the second quarter of 2024.

 

The increase in total revenue compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 is the growth in demand for kid safe contextual advertising, however there is a decrease in demand compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in programmatic revenue is due to the growing demand for Programmatic advertising in the market compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024, however there is a decrease in demand compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Management believes these overall decreases to Ad Tech revenue and programmatic revenue year on year is due to shifts in spending patterns from core customers and the overall weakness in the global markets due to the geopolitical situations and disruptions occurring in the Ad tech environment. The decrease in content revenue compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023 is due to the decrease of OEM sales of kids’ tablets.

 

Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses were $306,747 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 6% over expenses of $327,523 in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and compared to selling and marketing expenses of $306,561 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. We have decreased the promotional expenses on Prado in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales staff salaries and benefits and publishing services and user acquisition costs incurred to acquire game players.

 

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.

 

Software technology development

 

We do not capitalize our development costs. The Company expensed $817,956 in software technology development costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 8% compared to software technology development costs of $755,245 expensed during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and an increase of 8% compared to software technology development costs of $755,398 expensed during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. These increases over the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and the second quarter of fiscal 2023, is due to an increase in developer rates.

 

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 decreased to $158,294 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 19% from costs of $196,510 for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and an increase of 5% compared to general and administrative expenses of $150,813 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 is due to the decrease in professional fees and the decrease in rental expense due to the Company not renewing the Vancouver office lease. The increase in general and administrative expenses compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, is due to the increase in travel expenses which is reduced due to the decrease in rental expenses.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

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.

 

Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits

 

Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits increased to $190,831 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 3% compared to salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits of $185,592 in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 1% compared to salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits of $193,286 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This increase compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and is due to an increase in consulting costs.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Intangible assets are amortized using a straight-line method over three to eight years. These intangible assets include customer lists, 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, 2024, was $42,564, a decrease of 60% compared to amortization of $105,144 in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 69% compared to amortization of $136,434 in the second quarter of 2023. The decline is amortization for the period ended June 30, 2024, is due the software development kits (“SDK”) for our advertising platform technology being fully amortized.

 

Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Depreciation and amortization increased to $2,873, during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease over depreciation costs of $2,908 during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and a decrease over decrease over depreciation costs of $3,258 during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This decrease in depreciation and amortization compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and the second quarter of fiscal 2023 is due to the write-off of old furniture and equipment when the Company relocated to its new offices.

 

Stock-based compensation expense

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $104,321 from the issuance of stock options granted in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, an increase of 53% compared to stock-based compensation expense of $68,248 in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and a decrease of 23% compared to stock-based compensation expense of $136,347 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 is due to issuance of options granted close to the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and the decrease compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023 is due to fewer options granted. In addition, the Company’s share price has declined. The options are issued to consultants and employees as per the Company’s amended 2015 Stock Option Plan and are a significant component of the Companies compensation plan.

 

Stock awareness program

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company commenced a corporate stock awareness program. The Company engaged Research Capital Corporation, and Agora Internet Relations Corp 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.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company temporally suspended it stock awareness program due to the decline in the market and to save funds. The Company incurred stock awareness expenses of $nil during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and compared to stock awareness program expense of $55,820 in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Net (loss) income and (loss) income per share

 

The net loss after taxation for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, amounted to ($385,650), a loss of ($0.00) per share, and a reduction of 46% compared to a net loss of ($719,583 or ($0.01) per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and a reduction of 24% compared to a net loss of ($509,416 or ($0.00) per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This decrease in net loss is due to management’s efforts to improve margins.

Net Cash generated from Operations and Adjusted EBITDA

 

Due to our focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet while striving to continue our rapid growth on an annual basis and to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions accordingly we pay close attention to our net cash generated from operations and our adjusted EBITDA.

 

Our net cash used in operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was ($143,473) compared to cash used in operations of ($599,096) in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and compared to cash used in operations of ($912,510) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This improvement in the cash position was due to management’s efforts to improve margins.

 

Adjusted earnings before interest; depreciation and amortization; stock awareness program; stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the period ended June 30, 2024, amounted to ($236,815), an improvement of 56% compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of ($543,289) in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and a decline of 10% compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of ($214,770) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA  $(780,103)  $(1,011,685)  $(236,815)  $(214,770)

 

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 Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to meet its current growth and development objectives. Although the Company has relied on revenue generated through its business, external funding may be required to continue growing the existing business and scaling operations. There can be no assurance that adequate funding will be available in the future, or under terms that are favorable to the Company.

 

We had cash of $729,829 and working capital of $2,461,257 as at June 30, 2024. This compares to cash of $1,469,224 and working capital of $3,220,646 as at December 31, 2023.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we used cash of ($742,642) in operating activities compared to providing cash of ($959,506) in the prior year.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we provided cash in investing activities of $10,852 compared to cash used in investing activities of ($6,032) in the same period in the prior year.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was ($7,605) in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This compares to cash used in financing activities of ($17,252) in the same period in the prior year.

 

Our future capital requirements will depend on several factors, including costs associated with the further development of the Ad tech advertising business, the cost of marketing and customer acquisition costs, the development of new products, the acquisition of new companies and the success of our overall business.

ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES, CRITICAL ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

The information provided in this MD&A, including the consolidated financial statements, is the responsibility of management. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. There is a full disclosure and description of the Company’s critical accounting policies, estimates, judgments, assumptions in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2024 in notes 1 and 2.

 

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.

 

The following discussion of critical accounting policies is intended to supplement the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies presented as Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this report. Note 2 summarizes the accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

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 technology development;

 

Page 15
 

 

Kidoz Inc. and subsidiaries

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

- Impairment of long-lived assets;

- Goodwill

 

These policies were selected because they require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation and presentation of our financial statements. 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, as well as other events and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different conditions.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires that segment expenses deemed significant to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) typically incorporated in measuring profit or loss of the segment should be disclosed. The guidance also requires that the difference between segment revenues and these significant segment expenses is disclosed. Any annually disclosed segment information is now required to be reported in interim periods as well. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means that it will be effective for our annual reporting for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

On December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

 

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.

 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company is exposed to various financial risks resulting from both its operations. The Company does not enter into financial instrument agreements including derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate the carrying values, due to their short terms to maturity or attached market rates of interest. The Company is exposed to various risks related to its financial instruments as follows:

 

(i)Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Company’s net income and the value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

(ii)Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company has exposure to foreign exchange risk which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange purchase contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk, because, in management’s view, the cost of setting up the contracts is in excess of the risks associated with a sudden change in the exchange rates. Management continually monitors the exchange rates and will enter into risk prevention measures when warranted. The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk on its cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances that are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros, whereas our employment and consulting costs are mostly denominated in Israeli Shekels, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, and US Dollars.

 

(iii)Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is subject to credit risk with respect to cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying value of these assets. Credit risk is managed through a credit approval process and monitoring procedures, and there are no expected credit losses.

 

All cash balances are held at a major banking institutions in Israel, United Kingdom and Canada and management believes the risk of loss to be remote.

 

(iv)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and the maturity of liabilities do not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability but can also increase the risk of loss. The Company’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources. The Company generates cash from operations, and in the past by issuances of common shares. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances to meet liabilities when due and by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows.

 

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Company’s business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described elsewhere in this MD&A, as well as general economic and market risks. The following discussion describes material risks and uncertainties that the Company has identified that may affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to the Business

 

Regulations - The Company operates in a highly regulated market with a Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (“COPPA”) & General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). There is the risk that the regulations restrict the Company operations. The Company serves compliant contextual mobile advertising network that safely reaches hundreds of million kids, teens, and families every month.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Reliant on Google and Apple - The Company is heavily reliant on Google and Apple, on whose platform the games where we advertise are hosted. The Company has been Google certified and has been approved by Apple.

 

Expanding Company - the Company is a growing and expanding company. The Company’s revenues may be materially affected by the decisions of its management and/or customers, and due to a variety of other factors, many of which may be beyond the Company’s control. This may lead to expenses exceeding estimates or be incurred in the expectation of sales that do not occur or that occur later than expected. Management expects expenses to increase, especially hiring of additional staff to support its growth and expansion. Fluctuating results could cause unanticipated quarterly losses and cause the Company’s performance to fall below the expectations of investors, which could adversely affect the price of the common shares. The following will cause fluctuating results:

 

Changes in demand for Kidoz Platform
Changes in the Company’s customer base, additions and losses of customers
Changes in advertising budgets of our customers
Changes in the availability of advertising inventory or in the cost of reaching customers through digital advertising.
Disruptions or outages on the Kidoz platform.
New technology or offering by the Kidoz competitors.
Timing differences between our payments for advertising inventory and our collection of advertising revenue.
Shifting views and behaviors of consumers concerning use of data.

 

Based upon the factors above and others beyond the Company’s control, Kidoz forecasts future revenue, costs and expenses, and continually reviews these forecasts. As a result, its operating results may, from time to time, fall below estimates or the expectations of securities analysts and investors.

 

Managing growth - The Company has expanded rapidly over the last few years. The continued rapid growth of the Company may strain management, financial, technical, and other resources. The Company must expand its sales, marketing, technology, and operational staff and expand its controls. If Kidoz continues its rapid growth, it will incur additional expenses, and its growth may continue to place a strain on resources, infrastructure, and ability to maintain the quality of its offering. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to effectively manage and coordinate growth so as to achieve or maximize future profitability.

 

Reliance on Key Customers - The Company is reliant on a relatively few customers and sales houses. The loss of a significant customer could harm the Company’s business and severely impact the future financial success of the Company. The Company is continually looking for new sales houses around the world to partner with.

 

Retaining and attracting customers - The Company, to continue to grow, must attract new customers and encourage existing advertisers to purchase additional offerings. Our competitors may introduce lower costs or differentiated products or services that compete with our current offering on price or technology and therefore our sales are impaired. The Company has hired additional sales staff and is continually developing its technology.

Kidoz Inc. and subsidiaries

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

No long-term customer commitments - The Company does not have any long term commitments by its customers beyond the current insertion order, which can be cancelled prior to the campaign conclusion without any penalty. Therefore, the Company success is dependent on offering the best service and maintaining good customer relations. The Company allocates customer service personnel to manage the customer relationship.

 

Reliance on third parties - the Company is reliant on third parties to operate. These third parties include external sales houses, outsourced technology developers, advertising exchanges and other strategic partners. If these third parties fail to perform as agreed could negatively affect our operations.

 

Personnel - The loss of any member of the Company’s management team, could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. The Company relies on its engineering staff to develop its technology; operations staff to manage and operate the campaigns and its sales teams to attract and retain key customers. The inability to hire, or the increased costs of new personnel, or the cost to maintain existing personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results. There is intense competition for capable personnel in all of these areas, and the Company may not be successful in attracting, training, integrating, motivating, or retaining new personnel, vendors, or subcontractors for these required functions. The growth of the Company is dependent on hiring additional personnel so there is additional costs in training these new personnel.

 

Children advertising - The Company is dependent on advertising to children so therefore is affected by changes to this business segment. The Company is expanding into advertising to teens and families and to be less reliant on advertising to children.

 

Market conditions - The economic uncertainty in the market has made and continues to make it difficult for the Company to forecast revenue and operating results and to make decisions regarding operational cost structures and investments. The Company’s business depends on the overall demand for advertising and on the economic health of its customers. Economic downturns or unstable market conditions may cause the Company’s customers to decrease their advertising budgets, which could reduce usage of the Company’s platform and adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Inappropriate advertisement - This is the risk that the Company serves an inappropriate advertisement. To mitigate this risk all adverts are human reviewed before the campaign commences.

 

Cybersecurity - Cybersecurity attacks, including breaches, computer malware and computer hacking have become more prevalent recent years across all businesses. Any cybersecurity breach caused by hacking, which involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, or the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation of the Company. The Company believes that it is taken reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information collected, used, stored and disclosed, but there is no guarantee that in the future inadvertent (e.g., software bugs or other technical malfunctions, employee error or malfeasance, or other factors) or unauthorized data access or use will not occur despite its efforts in the past and in the future.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Technology - The Company’s future success is dependent on its ability to continue to develop and expand its products and technologies and to address the needs of its customers. The Company operates in an industry that is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer requirements, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new products and new technologies, the emergence of new industry standards, or improvements to existing technologies could render the Company’s platform obsolete or relatively less competitive.

 

Outages - In addition, the Company operates 24/7 business so if outages were to occur it is critical for the technology to be restored in a timely manner. Any delay in restoring the systems will have a negative effect on its business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Cloud based servers - The Company’s products and services involve storage using a third-party cloud-based hosting service. Any damage to, or failure of, the hosting service’s systems generally could result in interruptions in the use of the Company’s platform. Such interruptions may reduce the Company’s revenue, and adversely the Company’s ability to attract new customers. The Company’s business will also be harmed if its customers and potential customers believe its products or services are unreliable.

 

Incorrect advertising – The Company is developing a teens and family platform under its Prado brand. Therefore, there is the risk that an inappropriate advertisement is served to children, which could result in fines to the Company and have a negative effect on its business, operating results, and financial condition. The Company has put in internal controls that ensure no non children advertisement is served to children.

 

Financial and Accounting Risks

 

Additional financing - There can be no certainty that the Company’s financial resources and revenue from sales will be sufficient for its future needs. The Company may need to incur significant expenses for growth, operations, research and development, as well as sales and marketing and other unforeseen costs. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. It may be difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain debt financing or equity financing on commercially acceptable terms. In addition, the issuance of common shares for an equity financing may have a negative effect on the existing shareholders of the Company such as dilution or negative sentiments in the market to the equity financing.

 

Growth – Kidoz anticipates continued growth that could require substantial financial and other resources to, among other things: (a) expand and develop product offerings; (b) improve technological infrastructure, including investing in its technology (c) cover general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting and other expenses; (d) cover sales and marketing expenses, including a significant expansion of the Company’s direct sales organization. Investment in these, however, may not yield anticipated returns. Consequently, as costs increase, the Company may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

 

Payment risks – If our customers do not pay, or dispute their invoices, then the business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected. In addition, if our customers do not pay in a timely manner will our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

 

Internal Controls - A failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could harm the Company’s financial performance, its ability to raise capital and its continued listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, the Company is a small company so has limited segregation of duties. The Company is therefore reliant on the critical personnel and an increase in the risk of the failure of internal controls.

Kidoz Inc. and subsidiaries

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

 

Changes to GAAP – The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). There is a risk that changes to US GAAP will negatively affect the Company in terms of results and could become more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on the Company’s systems and resources to comply with this change.

 

Industry Risk

 

Competition – the advertising business is a highly competitive business. The Company offers niche advertising in a highly regulated business. However, there are few barriers to existing large advertising companies entering the market. Our existing customers could develop their own in-house solutions and therefore no longer advertise with us.

 

Ad blockers – Consumers may load ad blocking software. This will affect our ability to serve advertisements and will therefore reduce our revenue.

 

Failure to access advertising inventory – We must maintain a consistent supply of ad inventory. Our success depends on our ability to secure inventory on reasonable terms in multiple locations. The amount, quality, and cost of inventory available to the Company can change at any time. If our relationships with any of our significant suppliers were to cease, or if the material terms of these relationships were to change unfavourably, our business would be negatively impacted.

 

Fraud – The Company operates as a technology and services provider in a dynamic ecosystem where fraud exists. Typical forms of fraud include robotic traffic, where robots mimic the behaviour of users in order to inflate the number of impressions, clicks, post clicks actions or other metrics associated with the ad. The Company reviews all ads and monitors the impression serving with our suppliers.

 

Catastrophic events – We maintain cloud-based servers around the world, that deliver advertising campaigns for our advertisers. Any of its existing and future facilities may be harmed or rendered inoperable by attack or security intrusion by a computer hacker, natural or man-made disasters, including earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, nuclear disasters, war, acts of terrorism or other criminal activities, infectious disease outbreaks and power outages, any of which may render it difficult or impossible for the Company to operate its business for some period of time. The Company maintains backup and disaster recovery plans to get back up and running as fast as possible.

 

Economic, Political and Market Conditions – Our business depends on the overall demand for advertising and on the economic health of our current and prospective advertisers. Economic downturns, including a recession, or instability in political or market conditions may cause current or new advertisers to reduce their advertising budgets. These conditions are impacted by events outside of the Company’s control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may have a long-term impact on the global economy. Adverse economic conditions and general uncertainty about continued economic recovery are likely to affect the Company’s business prospects. This uncertainty may cause general business conditions to deteriorate or become volatile, which could cause advertisers to delay, decrease or cancel campaigns, and expose the Company to increased credit risk on advertiser orders, which, in turn, could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, continued geopolitical turmoil in many parts of the world have and may continue to put pressure on global economic conditions, which could lead to reduced spending on advertising.

Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Risks Related to the Common Shares and Corporate and Securities Law

 

Market for common shares – The shares of the Company are illiquid. The Company has made efforts to improve the exposure of the Company through its stock awareness program and create a more active market for its shares. There are no assurances that our Stock Awareness campaigns will be effective to create a liquid market.

 

Volatility in the market - Technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of volatility and we cannot predict the prices at which our common shares will trade. Fluctuations in the market price of our common shares could cause an investor to lose all or part of their investment in our common shares. These fluctuations in the market price and volatility of our common shares can be caused by factors outside the control of the Company such the following:

 

The volatility in the market price and trading volume of technology companies in general especially large companies in the digital advertising industry (e.g. Google and Meta);
Changes in regulatory developments in Canada and the United States;
General economic conditions and trends, including global financial markets, global economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates;
Major catastrophic events (e.g. the war in the Ukraine);
Unexpected market reactions to the Company announcements.

 

As a result, share prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In general, in the past, shareholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If Kidoz were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject it to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.

 

Public Company implications – The Company is listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange and is therefore subject to its listing requirements. Compliance with these rules and regulations could become more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and increase demand on the Company’s systems and resources.

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 annual 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 condensed 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 filed April 25, 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the TSX Venture Exchange on SEDAR and the Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 condensed 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 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.

 

There have been many factors which have affected the world economies in recent years. These include global pandemics (i.e. coronavirus COVID-19), inflation, the war in Gaza and Ukraine and many more. These factors have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including the Company’s. These factors have affected spending, thereby affecting demand for the Company’s product and the Company’s business and its results of operations. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of these factors at this time and the full effects on the Company’s business, its future results of operations, or ability to raise funds.

  (a) Basis of presentation:

 

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries:

Schedule of Consolidation of Subsidiaries

 

Company  Registered  % Owned 
Shoal Media (Canada) Inc.  British Columbia, Canada   100%
Kidoz Ltd.  Israel   100%
Prado Media Ltd.  British Columbia, Canada   100%
Rooplay Media Kenya Limited  Kenya   100%
Shoal Media Inc.  Anguilla   100%
Shoal Media (UK) Ltd.  United Kingdom   100%

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Shoal Games (UK) Plc was discontinued. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Rooplay Media Kenya Limited was discontinued.

 

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 consolidated financial statements.

 

  (b) Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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, the inputs used in assessing goodwill impairment, 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.

4. 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 pricing and terms for all our in-game advertising arrangements are mostly governed by insertion order which generally stipulates the payment terms, the duration (usually short term in nature), the number of advertising units delivered (e.g. impressions, completed views, or cost per install) and the contractually agreed upon price per advertising unit. 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) Programmatic revenue - The Company generally offers these services under a programmatic bid on a Cost-per-Impression (CPM) basis. Our customers upload their advertisements into a demand side platform which then connects to our Publisher Software Development Kit (“SDK”) through an exchange platform and on a bid system agree on the CPM rate and the impressions to be served.

 

The Company has concluded that the delivery of the Programmatic advertising is delivered at the earlier of month end or at a point in time and, as such, has concluded these deliveries are a single performance obligation. The Company is deemed to be the principal in the transaction and therefore recognizes the revenue on a gross basis and commissions are recognized as cost of sales. 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.

 

3) Content revenue –The Company recognizes content revenue on the following forms of revenue:

 

a) Carriers and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“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) Rooplay - 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. 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.

 

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 Technology Development Costs:

 

The Company expenses all software development costs as incurred for the period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. As at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, all capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized and the Company has no capitalized software development costs.

Total software development costs were $17,628,758 as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $16,055,557).

 

  (e) 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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

 

  (f) Intangible assets

 

The Company identified the following intangible assets in the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. Finite life intangible assets are recorded at historical cost less accumulated amortization based on their estimated useful life and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360. The Company does not have any indefinite life intangible assets. Amortization is provided for annually on the straight-line method over the following periods:

Schedule of Finite-Lived Intangible Assets, Amortization Period

 

    Amortization period
Ad Tech technology   5 years
Kidoz OS technology   3 years
Customer relationships   8 years

 

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, amortizable intangible assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group, the Company will write the carrying value down to the fair value in the period identified.

 

  (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.

 

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, 2023, there was no impairment of goodwill.

 

  (h) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies:

 

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires that segment expenses deemed significant to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) typically incorporated in measuring profit or loss of the segment should be disclosed. The guidance also requires that the difference between segment revenues and these significant segment expenses is disclosed. Any annually disclosed segment information is now required to be reported in interim periods as well. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means that it will be effective for our annual reporting for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

On December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

 

The Company has evaluated all 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 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:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

 

  (i) Financial instruments and fair value measurements: (Continued)

 

(i) Fair values: (Continued)

 

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.

 

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, accrued liabilities - related party and the government CEBA loan approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and are therefore carried at their historical cost basis.

 

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. Stock-based compensation and derivative liability – warrants were measured using Level 2 inputs. Goodwill impairment was measured using Level 3 inputs.

The maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the number of Shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of each Award Date unless shareholder approval is obtained in advance. The Board of Directors determines the terms of the options granted, including the number of options granted, the exercise price and their vesting schedule. The maximum term possible is 10 years. Under the amended 2015 plan we have reserved 10% of the number of Shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of each Award Date.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2024, 2,318,750 options were granted to employees and consultants with an exercise price of CAD$0.20 ($0.14) where 2% vests per month. 1,056,250 options of these options were granted to directors and officers of the Company. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, 25,000 options were cancelled.

11. Commitments:

 

The Company leases office facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, British West Indies and Netanya, Israel. These office facilities are leased under operating lease agreements.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company signed a five-year lease for a facility in Vancouver, Canada, commencing April 1, 2020 and ending March 2024. The Company accounts for the lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842) and recognizes a right-of-use asset and operating lease liability. The lease on the Vancouver office expired on March 31, 2024 and was not renewed. Our Canadian staff will continue to work on a virtual basis.

 

The Netanya, Israel operating lease expired on July 14, 2017, but unless 3 months’ notice is given it automatically renews for a future 12 months until notice is given. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the lease was extended for a further 12 months. The renewal of this lease is uncertain, hence the Company has accounted for this lease as a short-term lease.

 

Minimum lease payments under these leases are approximately as follows:

 

Schedule of Minimum Lease Payments 

2024  $23,180

Effective April 1, 2019, we recognized lease assets and liabilities of $125,474, in relation to the Vancouver office. We estimated a discount rate of 4.12%.

 

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842.

 

Additionally, we elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, our current offices, we elected the short-term lease exemption, which

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of estimates

  (b) Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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, the inputs used in assessing goodwill impairment, and the derivative liability – warrants valuation. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

  (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.

4. 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 pricing and terms for all our in-game advertising arrangements are mostly governed by insertion order which generally stipulates the payment terms, the duration (usually short term in nature), the number of advertising units delivered (e.g. impressions, completed views, or cost per install) and the contractually agreed upon price per advertising unit. 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) Programmatic revenue - The Company generally offers these services under a programmatic bid on a Cost-per-Impression (CPM) basis. Our customers upload their advertisements into a demand side platform which then connects to our Publisher Software Development Kit (“SDK”) through an exchange platform and on a bid system agree on the CPM rate and the impressions to be served.

 

The Company has concluded that the delivery of the Programmatic advertising is delivered at the earlier of month end or at a point in time and, as such, has concluded these deliveries are a single performance obligation. The Company is deemed to be the principal in the transaction and therefore recognizes the revenue on a gross basis and commissions are recognized as cost of sales. 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.

 

3) Content revenue –The Company recognizes content revenue on the following forms of revenue:

 

a) Carriers and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“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) Rooplay - 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. 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.

 

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 Technology Development Costs

  (d) Software Technology Development Costs:

 

The Company expenses all software development costs as incurred for the period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. As at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, all capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized and the Company has no capitalized software development costs.

Total software development costs were $17,628,758 as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $16,055,557).

 

Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of

  (e) 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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

 

Intangible assets

  (f) Intangible assets

 

The Company identified the following intangible assets in the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. Finite life intangible assets are recorded at historical cost less accumulated amortization based on their estimated useful life and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360. The Company does not have any indefinite life intangible assets. Amortization is provided for annually on the straight-line method over the following periods:

Schedule of Finite-Lived Intangible Assets, Amortization Period

 

    Amortization period
Ad Tech technology   5 years
Kidoz OS technology   3 years
Customer relationships   8 years

 

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, amortizable intangible assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group, the Company will write the carrying value down to the fair value in the period identified.

 

Goodwill

  (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.

 

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, 2023, there was no impairment of goodwill.

 

New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies

  (h) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies:

 

In November 2023, the Financial Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires that segment expenses deemed significant to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) typically incorporated in measuring profit or loss of the segment should be disclosed. The guidance also requires that the difference between segment revenues and these significant segment expenses is disclosed. Any annually disclosed segment information is now required to be reported in interim periods as well. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means that it will be effective for our annual reporting for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

On December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

 

The Company has evaluated all 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 consolidated financial statements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial instruments and fair value measurements

  (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:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

 

  (i) Financial instruments and fair value measurements: (Continued)

 

(i) Fair values: (Continued)

 

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.

 

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, accrued liabilities - related party and the government CEBA loan approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and are therefore carried at their historical cost basis.

 

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. 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.
