CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The use of words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans” and “believes,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our management's expectations and assumptions about future events as of the date of this annual report, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our product offerings, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance. We undertake no obligation to update, and we do not have a policy of updating or revising, these forward-looking statements.

Item 1.   Business.

 

Historical Background

 

Apptigo International, Inc.

 

We were initially incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 23, 2012 as Balius Corp. On April 14, 2014, Balius Corp. entered into a reverse acquisition transaction (the “Transaction”) with Apptigo, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its shareholders, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization agreement dated April 14, 2014 by between the Company, its principal shareholders, Apptigo and its shareholders. Under the terms of the Agreement the shareholders of Apptigo agreed to exchange all the outstanding common and preferred shares of Apptigo for common and preferred shares of the Company.

 

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, we ceased our principal business operations, terminated our sole lease, and liquidated our assets associated with these former business operations. As a result of the Transaction, we acquired Apptigo (which is now our wholly-owned subsidiary) and we became a media company focused on designing, developing and bringing to market mobile applications.

 

Apptigo, Inc.

 

Apptigo was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 31, 2012, and commenced its operations in 2012. In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and changed the name of the Company from Balius Corp. to Apptigo International, Inc. All references to business of the Company after the Closing of the Transaction shall refer to Apptigo International, Inc. and Apptigo Inc., collectively.

 

General

 

We are a media company focused on designing, developing and bringing to market mobile applications. The first application developed by Apptigo was SCORE, which management introduced to market in October 2014. SCORE is an interactive dating game that allows people to determine their compatibility through answering online questions. Users of the application can choose to invite anyone to play by:

 

· Entering a queue that shows other active players and sending invitations through the queue;
· Using the interactive map that shows pins of all the people who are available to play in a specific geographic region; and
· Inviting friends through email, phone number or social media contact lists.

 

SCORE has over 800 questions in 20 different categories. From “True or False” to “Have You Ever...,” the categories are intended to span all areas of interest. Once a play is fully completed, users can generate a percentage-based score derived from how many questions they answered the same way. Moments after receiving this score, users have access to a five second viewing of the other’s profile picture, which then fades to a screen giving them options to chat, play SCORE again, save the SCORE or quit. SCORE has been designed exclusively for use on smart mobile devices and utilized in both the Apple iOS platform And Google Play Store for Android.

 

We believe that SCORE’s approach to matchmaking is not only novel and capable of creating a social-fueled movement, but will also prove to be fun and effective for users. Generally, there are three primary paths to monetizing applications: premium model, freemium model, and ad network model. They are defined as follows:

 

·

Premium Model - Using an upfront download fee, this is the most straightforward and obvious way to monetize a mobile application.

 

·

Freemium Model - The application is a free download and contains content for purchase inside the application (aka in-app purchases) or an upgrade option to a premium version.

 

· Ad Networks - The application and all its content can be completely free and still generate revenue through advertising.

 

We have decided to market SCORE via a freemium model, providing for the SCORE application to be downloadable by users at no charge through application stores, including Google Play, the Apple App Store, and iTunes, among others. We intend initially to generate revenues by offering our users in-app purchases of special features and package upgrades. Thereafter, assuming we have succeeded in building notable brand equity and a significant user base, we will then seek corporate event sponsors and/or national advertisers to further enhance our revenue and earnings growth.

Currently, in-app purchases built into the SCORE platform include:

 

· Categories of Score questions for purchase.  
· The ability to purchase the entire app for one flat fee.  
· The ability to buy categories in bulk rather than individually.  
· The ability in the future to enable a multi-player function.   
· The ability in the future to purchase emoticons and gifts to send to others.
           

Features of the app include:

 

· Map view of available players
· Chat  
· Anonymous play  
· Score queue list view of available players
       

Overall Market

 

We believe that data growth is currently being driven by the increased penetration of smartphones, in particular in emerging markets - and by increased data consumption per subscriber due to the faster download speeds and the uptake of data-hungry applications like video made possible by new technology, such as 4G. Management further believes that advancement of network technologies, restructuring of revenue-sharing models, lowering of mobile data usage cost, growing adoption of smartphones and the increase in application usability will give rise to a global industry that it expects will continue to swell. In addition, management anticipates that in-app mobile ad-spend will continue to rise.

 

As more people meet online and through dating applications, they are also obliterating the stigma once associated with it. In a study conducted by the Pew Research Internet Project (http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/10/21/online-dating-relationships/), researchers found that one in ten Americans have used an online dating site or mobile dating application themselves; and many people now know someone else who uses online dating or who has found a spouse or long-term partner via online dating. Moreover, 7% of smartphone applications users (representing 3% of all adults) say they currently have a dating application on their mobile phone. In fact, online daters now spend more time on dating applications than they do on the websites themselves. And, by 2018, it is estimated that more than 80% of the population will own a smartphone - up from 46% in 2012.

 

In 1970, just 28% of American adults were single; today the share is 47%, according to the Census Bureau, which supports an expanding target market for the online dating industry. Management believes that the trend for online dating migrating from desktop and laptop to mobile devices should continue.

 

Competition

 

The mobile application industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Other companies of various sizes engage in activities similar to ours. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources available to them. Although there is a collective 3,900+ online dating sites and mobile applications available to consumers to choose from, management believes the following represent the most serious competition to the Company’s product:

 

Coffee Meets Bagel

 

Similar to timed shopping sites, this free application sends one match to each user every day at noon. Users can see that person’s picture and profile and have only 24 hours to decide if they want to go on a date with them or not by clicking “yes” or “pass.”

 

eHarmony Mobile

 

One of the largest dating sites, eHarmony has provided services in this industry for more than 10 years. Upon downloading the free mobile app, members can complete a relationship questionnaire at no charge, receive a detailed personality profile for free, receive daily matches, send icebreakers, communicate with matches for free during free communication events, and when subscribed, freely communicate with matches. Unlike other dating applications, eHarmony takes into account things like common personality traits, interests, values and beliefs to make its matches.

 

HowAboutWe

 

With a similar interface to Twitter, How About We offers users the ability to post statuses such as, “How About We...hook up tonight!” Users can message other How About We users by upgrading to one of How About We’s messaging packages. By doing this, users are able to read messages from other users, ask users “out,” and respond when someone is intrigued. Although its subscription based, How About We lets users remain in charge by choosing the type of date they want to go on.

Match.com Mobile

 

Launched on the Web in April of 1995, Match.com is one of the largest online dating companies in the world. It is credited for pioneering the online dating industry and now serves 24 countries and territories and hosts Web sites in 15 different languages. Its mobile app, Match.com Mobile, was introduced in 2003 and offers users a profile that can be perused by other users through various search options. Eighty percent of its five million application users are under the age of 35. Searching other users’ profiles is free of charge, however only paying members may email or text each other.

 

OKCupid- Blind Dating App

 

Launched in 2004 and acquired by Match.com for $50 million in 2010, OKCupid’s free mobile application calculates match percentages using a patent pending algorithm that is based on how users respond to questions, such as “how messy are you?” and “have you ever cheated in a relationship?” The application requires that users reveal a few basic details, including first name, age, whether the user prefers men or women, and a profile picture, which the application will scramble. Next, the application prompts the user to create a date. Alternatively, the user can peruse other scrambled profile pictures and date offers from their matches.

 

PlentyOfFish

 

Founded in 2003 in Vancouver, PlentyOfFish has over 70 million registered users across the globe and 50,000 new members every day - 70% of its usage takes place solely via its mobile app. While it is free to use, the application offers premium services as part of their upgraded membership, such as seeing when a user profile was viewed, and allowing users to see whether a message has been read and/or deleted.

 

Skout

 

Skout is one of the largest online dating platforms with over five million users using the free app. Skout’s “Meet Me” feature allows users to flip through and see who’s nearby and ready to hook up. Users can see who’s checked them out, send messages and send wink bombs. Wink bombs give users the opportunity to reach out to over 500 other members and say, “Hey, what’s up?” Feeling adventurous? Shake your device and Skout will find someone nearby to chat with in 30 seconds or less.

 

Tinder

 

Introduced in mid-2012, Tinder uses Facebook profiles to gather users’ basic information and analyzes users’ social graph to match potential candidates that are most likely to be compatible, based on geographical location, number of mutual friends and common interests. Only after two users “like” each other are they free to chat within the app. Users have control over who they want to connect with so that they are not bombarded with messages or approached by people they don’t want to match with. Tinder is anonymous in that it does not post users activity within the application on Facebook or reveal their matches and interactions.

 

Apptigo believes it is well-positioned to acquire market share and compete with such Apps due to the unique concept of the Score App, the diverse marketing and advertising backgrounds of its principals, Mr. Cordes and Mr. Steinberg, and the timing of entry into the market place, as the shelf life on several of the most popular dating Apps appears to be expiring, or at the very least decreasing in popularity.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Apptigo intends to register the following trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office:

 

· SCORE  
· SCORE. Everyone wants to now anybody can

 

We plan to obtain additional trademarks for future products, proprietary service offerings and themes and slogans used in our marketing activities. Moreover, Apptigo has secured domain names relevant to its business, including www.apptigo.com, www.score.singles and www.everyonewantstoscore.com.

Marketing and Sales

 

We intend to focus our social marketing tactics to ensure that SCORE is being ranked high in the application market so that it can be organically discovered; to fuel and optimize opportunities to generate downloads of SCORE; and to effectively target and effectively speak to the broad demographic universe of users that we believe will greatly enjoy the SCORE experience. We intend to create a multi-channel online presence capable of optimizing the viral nature of social marketing to promote the SCORE brand and attract new users. Our plan provides for:

 

· Target Twitter users.  
· Use social video outlets to showcase informative animated video we have created to describe the SCORE experience.
· Continue to use Facebook within their restrictive dating app rules so we can actively engage our users and drive downloads of the SCORE app.
· Create engagement mechanisms for our SCORE application to reconnect with consumers and remind them of SCORE’s presence on their device.
· Stage events that will generate national human interest buzz for our product.  
       

 

We intend to lend ongoing online support to all of our marketing efforts through Google keyword search optimization and banner advertisement placement. And as social media continues to evolve, we intend to adopt emerging new social channels and technologies that demonstrate capabilities to further enhance and extend our efforts in the most cost efficient manner possible.

 

The second application developed by Apptigo was RATE MY PUSSYCAT (RMPC), which management introduced to market in December 2015. RMPC is like an Instagram feed for cats that allows users to:

 

· Upload pictures and videos from their phone
· Decorate their pictures with stickers in the app
· Use filters to enhance their photos
· Share their photos and videos on the social media platforms Twitter and Facebook
· Rate other user’s photos and videos
· Have their own photos and videos be rated and shared
· Follow their favorite users and shelters
· Be followed
· Comment on pictures and videos
· Receive purring notifications and meowing when they are rated, commented on or followed
· Adopt cats from our adoption platform built into the app that works with local shelters in their area.

 

We believe that RMPC isn’t only a great resource for cat lovers but will also prove to be a valuable resource for rescue groups around the nation, and even world, moving forward. Generally, there are three primary paths to monetizing this application: advertising, in-app purchases and a sponsorship model. They are defined as follows:

 

· Sponsorship: As a critical mass is reached, opportunities for both large scale and local sponsorship will emerge.
   
· In-App Purchases - The application is a free download and contains sticker content for purchase inside the application (aka in-app purchases).
   
· Ad Networks - The application and all its content can be completely free and still generate revenue through advertising.

We have decided to market RMPC via a freemium model, providing for the RMPC application to be downloadable by users at no charge through application stores, including Google Play, the Apple App Store, and iTunes, among others. We intend initially to generate revenues by offering our users in-app purchases of special features and package upgrades. Thereafter, assuming we have succeeded in building notable brand equity and a significant user base, we will then seek corporate event sponsors and/or national advertisers to further enhance our revenue and earnings growth.

 

Currently, in-app purchases built into the RMPC platform include:

 

· 450 different sticker decorations for purchase.

 

The third application developed by Apptigo was RATE MY POOCH (RMP), which management introduced to market in February 2016. RMP is like an Instagram feed for dogs that allows users to:

 

· Upload pictures and videos from their phone
· Decorate their pictures with stickers in the app
· Use filters to enhance their photos
· Share their photos and videos on the social media platforms Twitter and Facebook
· Rate other user’s photos and videos
· Have their own photos and videos be rated and shared
· Follow their favorite users and shelters
· Be followed
· Comment on pictures and videos
· Receive purring notifications and barking when they are rated, commented on or followed
· Adopt dog from our adoption platform built into the app that works with local shelters in their area.

 

We believe that RMP isn’t only a great resource for dog lovers but will also prove to be a valuable resource for rescue groups around the nation, and even world, moving forward. Generally, there are three primary paths to monetizing this application: advertising, in-app purchases and a sponsorship model. They are defined as follows:

 

· Sponsorship: As a critical mass is reached, opportunities for both large scale and local sponsorship will emerge.
   
· In-App Purchases - The application is a free download and contains sticker content for purchase inside the application (aka in-app purchases).
   
· Ad Networks - The application and all its content can be completely free and still generate revenue through advertising.

 

We have decided to market RMP via a freemium model, providing for the RMP application to be downloadable by users at no charge through application stores, including Google Play, the Apple App Store, and iTunes, among others. We intend initially to generate revenues by offering our users in-app purchases of special features and package upgrades. Thereafter, assuming we have succeeded in building notable brand equity and a significant user base, we will then seek corporate event sponsors and/or national advertisers to further enhance our revenue and earnings growth.   Currently, in-app purchases built into the RMP platform include:

 

· 450 different sticker decorations for purchase.

 

Subsequent Application Development

 

In August 2014, we entered into an intellectual property purchase agreement with the Company’s former head designer and acquired certain intellectual property assets and rights used in connection with our games developed by the designer prior to his employment with the Company.

 

These application concepts have advanced through the Company’s vigorous evaluation process and are currently in various stages of developments. We are working on a strategy with our programmers for converting them for use on mobile devices, redesigning and improving the games and any design issues and modifying and upgrading the games. The Company will beta test the games and if warranted eventually launch and market the games. The beta testing normally involves use of the application by approximately 100 or more users and based on feedback on the usage, the Company releases updates created by our programmers until we believe the application is functioning properly. At that state, the Company would commence the advertising about the game and launch the application to the public.

The Company has been developing two additional applications for market. The first application is an animal lovers application to capitalize on the popularity of liking and sharing certain animal pictures and video. This application is being built to also include a charitable element as well as to further enhance the user experience and help generate a positive image from the application. This application has cleared the main design stage and is currently in the development stage. The second application is a sports related social application built for enhancing connections and educating places about the area they are in. This application has cleared the concept stage and is presently in the design stage. The Company cannot predict if and when these applications will come to market.

 

Government Regulation

 

As part of our business, we will receive, transmit and store a large volume of personal information and other user data (including credit card data) in connection with the provision of online products and services, transactions with users and customers and advertising on our websites. The sharing, use, disclosure and protection of this information are determined by the respective privacy and data security policy of our business. These policies are, in turn, subject to federal, state and foreign laws and regulations, as well as evolving industry standards and practices, regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personal information and user data (for example, various state regulations concerning minimum data security standards, industry self-regulating principles that become standard practice and more stringent contractual protections regarding privacy and data security (and related compliance obligations)).

 

If an online service provider fails to comply with its privacy policy, it could become subject to an investigation and proceeding for unfair or deceptive practices brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission under the Federal Trade Commission Act (and/or brought by a state attorney general pursuant to a similar state law), as well as a private lawsuit under various U.S. federal and state laws. In general, personal information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulation in numerous jurisdictions around the world, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction.

 

In addition, U.S. legislators and regulators may enact new laws and regulations regarding privacy and data security. In February 2012, the White House released a proposed Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, which is intended to serve as a framework for new privacy legislation. In March 2012, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission released a staff report making recommendations for businesses and policy makers in the area of consumer privacy. Similarly, new privacy laws and regulations at the state level, as well as new laws and directives abroad (particularly in Europe), are being proposed and implemented. For example, new legislation in the state of California that became effective on January 1, 2014 requires companies that collect personal information to disclose how they respond to web browser “Do Not Track” signals. Furthermore, existing privacy laws that were intended for brick-and-mortar businesses could be interpreted in a manner that would extend their reach to our business.

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Our shares of common stock are “penny stocks.” That term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares are subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor.

 

In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:

 

· Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
   
· Disclose commission payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
   
· Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
   
· Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares are subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Holders

 

As of May 12, 2016, based upon records obtained from our transfer agent, there were 35 holders of record of our common stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. There are no restrictions contained in our bylaws or otherwise pertaining to our issuing dividends.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially own ten percent or more of their class securities to register under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).

 

Based solely upon our review of certain reports files with the Securities and Exchange Commission with reserve to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act the reports that were required to be filed with respect to transactions in our common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were timely except each of the Messers. Cordes and Steinberg failed to timely file an initial Form 3. Messrs. Cordes and Steinberg both filed a Form 3 on May 7, 2015.

Code of Ethics

 

We do not currently have a code of ethics. We intend to adopt a code of ethics that would be appropriate for our business as soon as practicable.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

The Company has previously disclosed all recent sales of unregistered securities on Current Reports on Form 8-K. There have been no recent sales of unregistered securities that have not been previously disclosed.

 

Item 6.   Selected Financial Data.

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to provide information required by Item 6.

 

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

 

We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes share-based compensation, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights, at their fair value on the grant date. Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period.

  

Results of Operations--Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2014

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred $1,159,219 in general and administrative expenses compared to $887,236 in general and administrative expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014. General and administrative and professional fee expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2015 were generally related to corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, such as legal and accounting, and marketing expenses.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $34,116 compared to $857,503 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The majority of the expense, $644,000, during 2014 was from the acquisition of 6K games described in Note 2 of the financial notes. The Company expenses costs associated with the planning and development of application programs.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $6,027 and $4,019, respectively. The increase in depreciation was due to purchase of assets in connection with our new mobile application business.

 

Loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities

 

Loss on the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $6,652,841 and $324,826, respectively. The derivate liability is in relation to convertible debentures, see Note 4.

 

 

 

 12 

 

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $941,657 and $6,218, respectively. The interest expense was related to convertible debentures.

 

Interest expense related party for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $39,687 and $819 respectively. The interest expense was related to note payables from a significant shareholder.

 

Net Loss

 

For the reasons stated above, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $8,833,547 or ($0.17) per share compared to a net loss of $2,080,621, or ($0.10) per share, during the year ended December 31, 2014. The significant change is directly related to the increase in the loss on the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2015, we had cash of $334,227 and net negative working capital of $9,360,157. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating a continuation of the Company as a going concern. We anticipate that over the next 12 months we will require a minimum of $1-2 million to meet our cash flow requirements and accomplish our current business plan, including the re-launching and advertising of one or more of the Facebook games acquired in August 2014 and launching and advertising new games we are currently creating.

 

We intend to seek this additional funding from the sale of equity interests but have not determined the specific terms of any such offering. We currently have no agreements or arrangements in place for such financing. If we are unable to secure additional funding, we may be required to reduce our advertising plans or reduce the number of applications we develop or launch.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming our continuation as a going concern. We reported a net loss of $8,833,547 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and had an accumulated deficit of $10,973,461.

 

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. The primary source of capital has been from the sale of equity securities. During the year ended December 31, 2015, our primary use of capital was for the development and testing of the SCORE mobile application, professional fees, and general and administrative costs. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

None.

 

Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

 

The information required by this Item begins on page F-1 and is attached hereto. The index to our annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015, and 2014 can be found under Item 15.

 

Item 9.   Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Risk Closure.

 

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2016, the Company dismissed RBSM LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm, on February 9, 2016. There were (i) no disagreements between the Company and RBSM LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RBSM, would have caused RBSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s financial statements; and (ii) there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

 

Also previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2016, the Company engaged MaloneBailey LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm on February 22, 2016.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Apptigo International, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Apptigo International, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operation, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Apptigo International, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operation and its cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Apptigo International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“collectively “Apptigo” or the “Company”) designs, develops, markets and sells software applications. The Company intends to sell its products worldwide through online stores.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

The Company’s year ends on December 31.

 

Nature of Business Operations

 

The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 23, 2012 under the name of “Balius Corp.” (“Inception”). Effective April 15, 2014, we acquired Apptigo Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on October 31, 2012 (“Apptigo”). Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Agreement, dated April 14, 2014 by and between the Company, its principal shareholder, Apptigo, and its shareholders, Apptigo agreed to exchange all of the outstanding common and preferred shares of Apptigo for common and preferred shares of the Company. The closing of the acquisition transaction was completed effective April 15, 2014.

 

At closing of the acquisition transaction, Apptigo became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company became Apptigo’s parent. Thereafter, the principal shareholder of the Company cancelled 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him. As a result of the closing of the acquisition transaction, the Company had 8,250,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 145,000 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding, which preferred shares are convertible into 4,550,000 common shares.

 

Following the acquisition transaction, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “Apptigo International, Inc.,” increase the number of authorized common shares, authorize preferred shares, and approved a 3.5-for-1 forward split of the outstanding shares, including the shares issued at the closing of the acquisition transaction. The forward stock split was effective at the opening of business on April 30, 2014. The effect of the stock split has been applied retroactively. Also, in connection with the acquisition transaction the Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating a continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has reported a net loss of $8,833,547 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company has a net negative working capital of $9,360,157 as of December 31, 2015. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to obtain additional financing depends on the success of its growth strategy and its future performance, each of which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors beyond the Company's control.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted the FASB standard related to fair value measurement at inception. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The recorded values of long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows.

 

 

 

 F-6 

 

 

· Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
· Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
   
· Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10-35 to our assets and liabilities are described below as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

   Fair Value Measurements 
    Level 1    Level 2    Level 3    Total 
December 31, 2015:                    
Derivative liabilities  $    $    $8,746,651    8,746,651 
Total  $   $   $8,746,651    8,746,651 
December 31, 2014:                    
Derivative liabilities  $    $    $324,826    324,826 
Total  $   $   $324,826    324,826 

 

Derivative liability for convertible notes as of December 31, 2015 is $8,746,651, compared to $324,826 as of December 31, 2014.

 

The table below presents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2015:

 

Fair value as of December 31, 2014  $324,826 
  Additions recognized as derivative expense   1,925,071 
  Additions recognized as debt discounts   1,945,014 
  Resolution upon conversion of debt   (176,030)
  Change in fair value   4,727,770 
Fair value as of December 31, 2015  $8,746,651 

 

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes share-based compensation to employees, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights, at their fair value on the grant date. Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable upon the earlier of a commitment date or completion of services. Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period.

 

Dividends

 

The payment of dividends by the Company in the future will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. The Company does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the business.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of these financial statements, cash and cash equivalents includes highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of less than three months.

 

 

 

 F-7 

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Intellectual property is stated at cost.

 

When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated amortization are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and renewals are capitalized. Amortization is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally, 3 to 15 years.

 

Software Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. In most instances, the Company’s products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred for development are capitalized. Amortization is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally, 5 years. For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company expensed $34,116 compared to $857,503 for the year ended December 31, 2014, for research and development.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. During 2015 and 2014, all common stock equivalents were excluded as they would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Management Estimates

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for leasehold improvements is 15 years; 10 years for furniture and equipment; and 5 years for computer equipment. The Company capitalizes eligible costs to acquire or develop internal-use software that are incurred subsequent to the preliminary project stage. Capitalized costs related to internal-use software are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 7 years. Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $6,027 and $4,019 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

 

 F-8 

 

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. ASC 360-10 relates to assets that can be amortized and the life can be determinable. The Company reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the asset’s carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. Cash flow forecasts are based on trends of historical performance and management's estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. 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 projected discounted future cash flows arising from the assets or their fair values, whichever is more determinable.

4. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES  

   

Due to the variable conversion prices in the convertible notes described above, the Company treats the convertible debenture and outstanding warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815). ASC 815 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that potentially settle in an entity’s own common stock.

 

The Company assesses the fair value of the convertible debentures and warrants using the Black Scholes pricing model and records a derivative liability for the value. The Company then assesses the fair value quarterly based on the Black Scholes Model and increases or decreases the liability to the new value, and records a corresponding gain or loss. The Company uses expected volatility based primarily on historical volatility using weekly pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to the expected life of the instruments. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities rates.

 

The following table describes the significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes pricing model:

 

   December 31, 2015   December 31, 2014 
Risk-free interest rate at grant date   .08 - .65%    .25 – 1.59% 
Expected stock price volatility   218 - 465%    139% 
Expected dividend payout        
Expected option in life-years   .1 - .65    1.25 - 3 

 

The table below presents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

Fair Value as of December 31, 2013  $ 
Additions recognized as derivative expense   307,462 
Additions recognized as debt discount   17,364

5. WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

 

As of December 31, 2015, these warrants include the following:

 

Warrants granted on November 21, 2014 in connection with the 12% convertible debenture, the right to purchase up to 282,575 shares of the Company’s common stock with an original exercise price of $0.0005. The warrants carry a provision for the adjustment based on the terms of the contract, wherein the number of warrants is adjusted to equal $30,000. As a result of this provision, the lender has the right to purchase up to 128,571,429 shares of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2015. A derivative liability on the fair value of the warrants as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $89,986. Fair value was determined using the following variables:

 

   Grant Date   December 31, 2015 
Risk-free interest rate at grant date   1.63%    1.15% 
Expected stock price volatility   139%    129%

2014 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On June 19, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company. All of the Company’s employees, officers and directors, as well as consultants and advisors to the Company are eligible to be granted awards under the Plan. No Awards can be granted under the Plan after the expiration of 10 years from the Effective Date, but awards previously granted may extend beyond that date. Awards may consist of both incentive and non-statutory options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock grants.

 

7. INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company's tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

 

The Company is subject to US taxes. Historically, the Company has had no net taxable income, and therefore has paid no income tax.

 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had cumulative net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $2,640,000 and $1,520,000, respectively. The NOL carryforward begin to expire in 2032. Because management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the tax benefit related to the NOL carryforward, by having future taxable income, a full valuation allowance has been established at December 31, 2015  to reduce the tax benefit asset value to zero.

 

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31st:

 

   2015   2014 
Deferred tax assets:          
Federal deferred tax assets   898,687    595,834 
Valuation allowance   (898,687)   (595,834)
Total deferred tax assets  $   $ 

 

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $898,687 and $595,834, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and recorded a full valuation allowance.

 

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On November 18, 2014, the Company entered into a 12% Secured Convertible Debenture with a related party in the principal amount of $50,000. The note was paid off in September 2015. See Note 3.

The Company entered into an Exchange Agreement on August 10, 2015.

See Note 3.

Between January and May 2016, the Company has converted a total of $62,278 in convertible debt and accrued interest of $5,752 for 1,109,940,894 shares of common stock.

 

On January 7, 2016, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada an Amendment to Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Amendment authorizes the Company to issue 5,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, each series to be appropriately designated by a distinguishing letter or title, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.

Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2015. Our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with the United States’ generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Management’s Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management evaluated our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework . As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in this framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

 

Material Weaknesses

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management identified the following material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting:

 

· Lack of sufficient qualified personnel to design, implement, and maintain an effective control environment as it relates to financial reporting . Given the expansion of the business and all of our operations, we did not yet integrate an effective control environment with the sufficient complement of personnel with the appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience, and training in U.S. GAAP to assess the completeness and accuracy of certain accounting and reporting matters. This results in a lack of segregation of duties and multiple levels of supervision and review.
   
· Period-end financial reporting process. Given the expansion of the business and all of our operations we did not design or maintain effective controls over the period-end financial reporting process, including controls with respect to the preparation, review, supervision, and monitoring of accounting operations and financial reporting. More specifically, due to the expansion of our business, we did not yet prepare timely accounting reconciliations nor did we have adequate financial reporting personnel to prepare timely and accurate financial statements, including related disclosures.

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

The material weaknesses described above could result in misstatements that would result in a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements in a future annual or interim period that would not be prevented or detected.

 

Remediation Plans

 

We have initiated several steps and plan to continue to evaluate and implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting in order to remediate the material weaknesses, noted specifically above.

 

While our evaluation of the appropriate remediation plans is still ongoing, efforts to date have included recruiting additional experienced accounting personnel at our business and improving certain processes. The Company also engages third party consultants with expertise in the preparation of financial reporting and other financial aspects of the business.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Except for the activities described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2015, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
