NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The areas requiring significant estimates are provision for doubtful accounts, provision for taxation, useful life of depreciable assets, useful life of intangible assets, contingencies, assumptions used to determine the net present value of operating lease liabilities, and estimated contract costs. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within the United States as well as in foreign countries. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and restricted cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States. Balances at financial institutions within certain foreign countries are not covered by insurance except balances maintained in China are insured for RMB 500,000 ($73,529) in each bank and in UK for GBP 85,000 ($108,974) in each bank. The Company maintains two bank accounts in China and six bank accounts in the UK. As of September 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, the Company had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $22,070,760 and $18,210,378, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

The Company’s operations are carried out globally. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments of each country and by the general state of the country’s economy. The Company’s operations in each foreign country are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in economically developed nations. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amounts of the convertible note receivable and the long-term debt approximate their fair values based on current interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020, were as follows:

The reconciliation from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020 is as follows:

Management analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 introduced a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets and held-to-maturity debt securities, which requires the Company to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 also expands disclosure requirements.

The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policies for trade and other receivables, contract assets and convertible notes receivable. Based on the results of the Company’s evaluation, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment through retained earnings of $6,784,300 to increase its allowance for credit losses related to the convertible notes receivable, interest receivable, accounts receivable, revenues in excess of billings, and other receivables.

The following table presents the impact of adopting ASC Topic 326 as of July 1, 2020:

Accounts receivable includes trade accounts receivables from the Company’s customers, net of an allowance for credit risk. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Revenue in excess of billings, relates to services performed which were not billed, net of an allowance for credit risk. As customers are billed under the terms of the contract, the corresponding amount is transferred to accounts receivable. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends, changes in customer payment patterns, the project status and assesses individual unbilled contract assets over a specific aging and amount. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

The convertible notes receivable represents loans provided to WRLD3D. The allowance for credit risk for the convertible notes is established based on various quantitative and qualitative factors including customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
