Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Nature of Operations
Freeze Tag, Inc. (“Freeze Tag” or the “Company”) is a leading creator of mobile location-based games for consumers and businesses. The Company also offers gaming technology and services to businesses that want to leverage mobile gaming in their marketing and branding programs.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and these differences may be material.
The following accounting policies involve significant judgments, assumptions and estimates by management.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived primarily by licensing software products in the form of mobile games for smartphone and tablet platforms. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset as follows:
Computer equipment
5 years
Office furniture and equipment
7 years
Automobiles
Leasehold improvements
15 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
The Company will assess the recoverability of property and equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of intellectual property, customer base and non-compete agreements acquired in the Merger, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC Topic 740, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC Topic 740 includes accounting guidance which clarifies the accounting for the uncertainty in recognizing income taxes in an organization by providing detailed guidance for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure involving uncertain tax positions. This guidance requires an uncertain tax position to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized both upon the adoption of the related guidance and in subsequent periods.
The Company has no uncertain tax positions at any of the dates presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation and ASC Subtopic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC stock-based compensation guidance”). Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the requisite service period is based on the value of share-based payment awards after reduction for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The Company had stock-based compensation expense recognized in its statements of operations of $12,251 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Earnings per Share
The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and other rights during the period.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the diluted weighted average number of shares is the same as the basic weighted average number of shares as the inclusion of any common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with current accounting standards, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. ASC 820 requires that certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and the standard details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value. The Company had no assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The current assets and current liabilities reported on the Company’s balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842),” which amends existing accounting standards for leases. The ASU requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded at the present value of minimum lease payments. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2019. We recognized an $88,325 right-of-use asset and $88,325 related lease liability as of January 1, 2019 for our operating lease. For our operating lease, the asset is included in Other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet and is amortized within operating income over the lease term. The long-term component of the lease liability is included in Other long-term liabilities, net, and the current component is included in Other current liabilities. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date. Under the alternative method of adoption, comparative information was not restated, but will continue to be reported under the standards in effect for those periods. See Note 6 for further details regarding Freeze Tag’s leases.
Although there were new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and through the date of filing of this report, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements, other than the item listed above, has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred net loss of $106,393 and used net cash of $94,206 in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $817,517 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $503,058. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that by implementing cost reductions and realizing cost efficiencies from the Merger, operating cash flows will be sufficient to support the Company’s business plan. The Company will also continue to develop and launch new games to maximize revenues. However, management is currently evaluating alternative financing sources to fund the Company’s current business plan should cash provided by operations be insufficient.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon successfully executing its plans to attain a successful level of operations. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following at:
Less accumulated depreciation
Net
Depreciation expense was $2,616 and $2,458 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consisted of the following at:
Intellectual property
Customer base
Non-compete agreements
(184,850
Amortization expense was $68,610 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
NOTE 6 – LEASES
Our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and subsequent ASUs related to Topic 842, requires us to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as an ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures as detailed below. We adopted this standard on the effective date of January 1, 2019 and used this effective date as the date of initial application. Under this application method, we were not required to restate prior period financial information or provide Topic 842 disclosures for prior periods. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permitted us to not reassess our prior conclusions related to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs, and we did not elect the use of hindsight.
We determine if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. We review all options to extend, terminate, or purchase the ROU assets, and when reasonably certain to exercise, we include the option in the determination of the lease term and lease liability. We have one operating lease related to our office space in Texas with a remaining lease terms of 3 years. We recognized $25,650 in operating lease costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. When readily determinable, we use the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term.
Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Balance Sheet. Lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any short-term leases.
The tables below present financial information associated with our lease. This information is only presented as of, and for the nine months ended, September 30, 2019. As noted above, we adopted Topic 842 using a transition method that does not require application to periods prior to adoption.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Freeze Tag, Inc. (“Freeze Tag” or the “Company”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 contains forward-looking statements, principally in this Section and “Business.” Generally, you can identify these statements because they use words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” and similar terms. These statements reflect only our current expectations. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen, including, among others, the risks we face as described in this filing. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement where we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation of belief will be accomplished.
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future; however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in this filing, as well as any cautionary language in this annual report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated include but are not limited to: distributors not accepting our games; price reductions; unforeseen delays in game production; changes in product strategies; general economic, financial and business conditions; changes in and compliance with governmental regulations; changes in various tax laws; and the availability of key management and other personnel.
Summary Overview
Freeze Tag, Inc. is a creator of location-based, mobile social games that are fun and engaging for consumers and businesses. Based on a free-to-play business model that has propelled games built and marketed by some of our competitors to worldwide success, we employ state-of-the-art data analytics and proprietary technology to dynamically optimize the gaming experience for revenue generation. Players can download and enjoy our games for free, and, if they so choose, they can purchase virtual items and additional features within the game to increase the fun factor.
Founded by gaming industry veterans, Freeze Tag has launched several successful games over the course of its history. Our current portfolio includes hits such as Munzee®, a social platform with over 7 million locations worldwide and hundreds of thousands of players that blends gamification and geolocation into an experience that rewards players for going places in the physical world; Garfield Go, a Pokemon Go style augmented reality game based on the iconic cat Garfield; WallaBee®, an addictive collecting game with over 2,000 beautifully drawn digital cards; as well as many social mobile games that provide endless hours of family-friendly fun. We also offer our technology and services to third party businesses that want to leverage mobile gaming in their marketing and branding programs. For example, our Eventzee® solution allows businesses to create private scavenger hunts in physical places such as malls, tradeshows, company events or campuses to create immersive brand experiences.
Our mission is to design, develop and deliver innovative digital entertainment that surprises and delights. Our products bring families together by providing fun to kids of all ages. We also strive to create a workplace environment where creativity and fun can thrive in a demanding industry.
In 2018, our main focus as a company was centered on our flagship product, Munzee. We dedicated virtually all of our product strategy, design, engineering, creative, and testing resources to bring the “next generation” version (called Munzee 4.0) to market. We successfully introduced the new version to the market in January 31, 2019.
During the first quarter of 2019, we began implementing growth marketing programs to capitalize on the launch of our Munzee 4.0 app. To date, those efforts have been very successful, resulting in thousands of new users signing up to become Munzee players. The economic impact of these new players is already rippling through the company, although it will take time for new users to begin spending at the level of players who have been active Munzee players for years. In July of 2019, Munzee, as a game, turned eight years old. Many players who began playing back in 2011 are still active.
During the remaining months in 2019, we will also focus development and marketing resources to growing other Freeze Tag games to strengthen our product portfolio.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred net loss of $106,393 and used net cash of $94,206 in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $817,517 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $503,058. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that by implementing cost reductions and realizing cost efficiencies from the Merger, operating cash flows will be sufficient to support our business plan. We also plan to continue to develop and launch new games to maximize revenues. However, management is currently evaluating alternative financing sources to fund our current business plan should cash provided by operations be insufficient.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon successfully executing its plans to attain a successful level of operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs, expenses and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are often based on historical experience and judgments that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time made. However, all such estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and actual results may differ. For further information on our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our financial statements included in this filing.
The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies that involve estimates and management’s judgment.
Our revenues are derived primarily by licensing software products in the form of mobile games for smartphone and tablet platforms. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation and ASC Subtopic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC stock-based compensation guidance”). Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the requisite services period is based on the value of share-based payment awards after reduction for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Although there were new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and through the date of filing of this report, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Results of Operations
Our revenue can typically fluctuate based on when we release our games and the popularity of the games we release. Previously, the majority of our released game titles were "pay-per-download", where the consumer paid to download the game onto their device, leading to revenue per download. Now our games are free to download and play, but have built-in features that require the consumer to pay if they want to access the feature, which means our revenue is tied to when the consumer pays to access the features.
Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $483,722 were down $10,475 from revenues of $494,197 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Revenues declined only slightly (2%) in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 due to seasonal factors. While most of the summer months are robust in sales, occasionally we experience weaker sales during the month of August, which was the case in 2019. However, sales rebounded in September and October, and we are on pace to close out 2019 ahead of top line revenue compared to 2018.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $1,562,138 were up $21,263 from revenues of $1,540,875 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The primary reason for the increase in revenues year over year was due to the close-out of a significant mobile distribution contract in the period allowing us to recognize deferred revenue.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased $4,923 to $73,753 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $68,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Costs of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $228,346 were $24,256 higher than the $204,090 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was a mainly a result of increased server and server usage fees, partially offset by decreased physical product costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $32,189 to $468,005 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $435,186 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Selling, general and administrative for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $1,409,915 also increased $62,193 from $1,347,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to additional development and creative team resources added during 2019, with annual amounts partially offset by cost savings related to our Texas office relocation and cost savings initiatives throughout the company.
Other Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $10,194 was relatively consistent with interest expense of $11,305 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Interest expense decreased $16,417 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, falling to $30,270 from $46,687 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to catch-up amounts recorded in 2018. These amounts relate primarily to the imputed interest on related party debt.
Net Loss
As a result of the above, we reported net loss of $68,230 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a net loss of $21,124 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and net losses of $106,393 and $57,624 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The greater loss reported in 2019 is mainly due to increased expenses associated with hiring additional creative and technical resources to expand marketing and development capabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
As of September 30, 2019, we had current assets of $240,794, including cash of $215,010, and current liabilities of $1,058,311, resulting in a working capital deficit of $817,517. In addition, we had a total stockholders’ deficit of $503,058 at September 30, 2019.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used net cash of $94,206 from operating activities. Management believes that by implementing cost reductions and realizing cost efficiencies from the Merger, operating cash flows will be sufficient to support our business plan. We will also continue to develop and launch new games to maximize revenues. As a result, we may have short-term cash needs. Therefore, management is currently evaluating alternative financing sources to fund our current business plan should cash provided by operations be insufficient. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.
Sources and Uses of Cash
We used net cash of $94,206 in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. A net loss of $106,393 and a decrease in unearned royalties of $119,639 was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $111,885.
By comparison, net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $65,765 as a result of our net loss of $57,624 and decreases in accrued expenses of $19,234 being more than offset by non-cash expenses totaling $116,023 and an increase in accounts payable of $30,092.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we did not have any cash provided by or used in investing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we used net cash in investing activities of $3,106, for the purchase of property and equipment.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we did not have any cash provided by or used in financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $5,000, comprised of proceeds from stock subscription receivables.
Notes Payable – Related Party
As of September 30, 2019, our debt was comprised of notes payable totaling $379,825 to Craig Holland, our Chief Executive Officer and Mick Donahoo, our Chief Financial Officer. These notes are non-interest bearing and mature on December 31, 2019. Of this related party indebtedness, there are two convertible notes payable of $186,450 to each of Messrs. Holland and Donahoo, who have the right, at any time, at their election, to convert all or part of the amount due into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock. The fixed conversion price is $0.02 per share. We have imputed interest on these notes payable using an annual rate of 10%.

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively, concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
