(Unaudited)
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.
Beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Space Coast Geo Store, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, sells merchandise to the geocaching industry. The LLC was filed with the State of Florida on September 3, 2019 and there was no activity in the entity from the time of filing until it began operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
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.
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:
| · | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
| · | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| · | determination of the transaction price; |
| · | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| · | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
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:
Vehicle | | 5 years |
Computer equipment | | 5 years |
Office furniture and equipment | | 7 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 2017, 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. 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 (“ASC Topic 740”). 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 carry forwards. 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. 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.
The Company had no stock-based compensation expense recognized in its statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
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.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs include direct costs incurred for internally developed products and payments made to independent software developers and/or contract engineers and artists. The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with the FASB guidance for the costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed as found in ASC Subtopic 985-20. On a case-by-case basis, certain software development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product encompasses both technical design documentation and game design documentation, or the completed and tested product design and working model. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable against future revenues. For products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle.
Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in the assessment of when technological feasibility is established. For most products, technological feasibility is established when a detailed game design document containing sufficient technical specifications written for a proven game engine or framework technology had been created and approved by management. However, technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to the appropriate expense account. Amounts that were considered ‘research and development’ that are not capitalized are immediately charged to general and administrative expense.
Prior to a product’s release, the Company expenses, as part of “Cost of Sales—Product Development,” capitalized costs when the Company believes such amounts are not recoverable. Capitalized costs for those products that are cancelled or abandoned are charged to product development expense in the period of cancellation. Commencing upon product release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to “Cost of Sales—Product Development” based on the straight-line method.
The Company evaluates the future recoverability of capitalized software development costs and intellectual property licenses on an annual basis. For products that have been released in prior years, the primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance. For products that are scheduled to be released in future years, recoverability is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate or in which the licensed trademark or copyright is to be used. Criteria used to evaluate expected product performance include: historical performance of comparable products developed with comparable technology; orders for the product prior to its release; and, for any sequel product, estimated performance based on the performance of the product on which the sequel was based.
The Company had no impairment expense, related to capitalized software development costs, recognized in the Company’s statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.
Based on the previous trends in the Company’s business, management has determined the expected shelf life of the majority of a game’s revenue will be realized over a three to five-year period and will expense capitalized production costs from the date of the initial release, or first sale of the product for a specific technology platform. It is possible that the same game developed on different technology platforms (such as PC and Mac, or iOS and Android) would be launched on different release dates because product development cycles may differ and distribution partner release policies may differ.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $431,624 and $370,639 respectively, of capitalized software development costs in other assets on the balance sheet. The Company did not recognize amortization expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Although there were new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and through the date of filing of this report, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material impact on net earnings, financial position or cash flows.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $47,841 and used net cash in operations of $12,892 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $383,205 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $103,596. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that by continuing to implement cost reductions, and by increasing revenue from updated product lines, operating cash flows will be sufficient to support the Company’s business plan. 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company may apply for forgiveness of the amount due on the PPP Loan in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by the Company during the 8-week period (or any other period that may be authorized by the U.S. Small Business Association) beginning on the date of first disbursement of the loan: payroll costs, any payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation, payment on a covered rent obligation, and any covered utility payment. The amount of PPP Loan forgiveness shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program, including the provisions of Section 1106 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), although no more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. The Company applied for and received loan forgiveness in 2021.
