NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

 

1            GENERAL INFORMATION

 

TinyBuild Inc. ("the Company") is a private company limited by shares, and is registered, domiciled and incorporated in Delaware, USA. On 9 March 2021 the Company became a public company. The address of the registered office is 127 Bellevue Way SE, Suite 200, Bellevue, WA 98004, United States.

 

The Group ("the Group") consists of TinyBuild Inc. and all of its subsidiaries as listed in note 17. The Group's principal activity is that of an indie video game publisher and developer.

 

2           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

              Basis of preparation

              The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS")as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) .

 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for, where disclosed in the accounting policies, certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

 

The financial statements are prepared in US Dollars, which is the functional currency and presentational currency of the Company and all entities within the Group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand US Dollars (US$'000).

 

              The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.  It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving judgement or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

 

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated.

 

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. The Group elected to recognise the non-controlling interests at its proportionate share of the acquired net identifiable assets. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

 

Adoption of new and revised standards

With effect from 1 January 2020, the Group has adopted the following new IFRSs (including amendments thereto) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations, that became effective for the first time. None of the new standards adopted have had any material impact on the Group.

 

Standard/amendment	Effective date
Conceptual Framework and amendments to references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards	1 January 2020
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations	1 January 2020
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material	1 January 2020
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform: amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7	1 January 2020

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

New and revised standards in issue but not yet effective

 

The following standards and interpretations relevant to the Group are in issue but are not yet effective and have not been applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Standard/amendment	Effective date
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform: amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - Phase 2	1 January 2021

 

The above standards are not expected to materially impact the Group.

 

Revenue recognition

 

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers has been applied for all periods presented within the financial statements.

 

Revenue is recognised when control of a service or product provided by the Group is transferred to the customer, in line with the Group's performance obligations in the contract, and at an amount reflecting the consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange for the provision of services.

 

The Group recognised revenue from the following activities:

 

Game and Merchandise Royalties

The Group develops and publishes video games based on its own and third-party intellectual property. The Group grants third-party distributors licences to sell these video games, and these distributors are considered to be the Group's customers when assessing revenue recognition. The majority of the Group's revenue is in the form of royalties received from third-party distributors under the licence agreements. Generally, royalty revenue earned from third-party licensees is recorded in the period earned, being the point at which the distributor sells the content to the end user, in accordance with IFRS 15. The Group occasionally will enter contracts with a fixed amount of royalty revenue in exchange for making a game available to a third-party platform for their customers to download for an agreed period of time, with minimal future performance obligations required by the Group. These contracts are determined as right to use contracts in accordance with IFRS 15 and the fixed fee is recognised upon satisfying the performance obligation of providing the game licence for the specified subscription‐based platform, being the date the game is first made available on the third-party platform. Variable consideration in respect of some contracts is constrained, unable to be reliably estimated and is recognised when received.

 

Development Services

Development advances received from distribution partners to assist with the development of game titles are recognised as contract liabilities in the statement of financial position and subsequently recognised as income when distinct performance obligations set out in the contract are met. Performance obligations for development service contracts typically include the delivery of video game prototypes at various stages of completion. The transaction price for each performance obligation is generally a fixed amount which is specified in the contract. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service promised in the contract. The stand-alone selling price is determined to be the price at which the Group would sell the promised good or service separately to a customer. This is not presumed to be the contractually stated price in the contract, but management consider this to be an appropriate estimate as it is the agreed price the customer is willing to pay. Where the stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the Group estimates it using an adjusted market assessment approach. The Group evaluates the video game market and estimates the price that a customer would be willing to pay for the goods and services.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue recognition (continued)

The Group recognises revenue over time for certain contracts where the Group transfers control of the product over time and one of the following criteria is met:

 

●     the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs it;

●     the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or

●     the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

 

The Group enters into contracts for the development of game titles on certain platforms. The Group's performance under these contracts does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group due to its specific nature, and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue is recognised based on time elapsed and milestones reached. Management consider that this output method is a faithful depiction of the Group's performance of satisfying the performance obligation as it is a direct measurement of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. Payment is typically due upon milestones specified in the contract. There is not considered to be a significant financing component in these contracts with customers as the period between the recognition of revenue and the milestone payment is always less than one year.

 

Event Revenue

Event revenue is recognised at the conclusion of each event.

 

In cases where the invoices raised exceed the services rendered, a contract liability representing advances or deferred revenue is recognised.

 

Going concern

After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections and taking into account the proceeds of the Placing, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group has therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

 

Foreign currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction, or, if the asset or liability is measured at fair value, the rate when that fair value was determined.

 

All translation differences are taken to profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to gains or losses on non-monetary items recognised in other comprehensive income, when the related translation gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income.

 

Exceptional costs

IAS 1 requires material items to be disclosed separately in a way that enables users to assess the quality of a Group's profitability. In practice, these are commonly referred to as "exceptional" items, but this is not a concept defined by IFRS and therefore there is a level of judgement involved in determining what to include in underlying profit. We consider items which are non-recurring and significant in size or in nature to be suitable for separate presentation (see note 6).

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities as defined in IFRS is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

 

Expenditure on internally developed software products and substantial enhancements to existing software product is recognised as intangible assets only when the following criteria are met:

 

1.    It is technically feasible to develop the product to be used or sold;

2.    There is an intention to complete and use or sell the product;

3.    The Group is able to use or sell the product;

4.    Use or sale of the product will generate future economic benefits;

5.    Adequate resources are available to complete the development; and

6.    Expenditure on the development of the product can be measured reliably.

 

The capitalised expenditure represents costs directly attributable to the development of the asset from the point at which the above criteria are met up to the point at which the product is ready for use.  If the qualifying conditions are not met, such development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. No research and development expenditure has been recognised as an expense.

 

Development costs largely relate to amounts paid to external developers, consultancy costs and the direct payroll costs of the internal development teams. Capitalised development expenditure is reviewed at the end of each accounting period for conditions set out above and indicators of impairment. Intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually by comparing their carrying amount with their recoverable amount based on cash flow forecasts for the developed products.

 

Finance income and costs

Finance costs comprise interest charged on liabilities and finance costs accruing from lease liabilities.

 

Interest income and interest payable are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as they accrue, using the effective interest method.

 

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before Interest, Taxation, Depreciation and Amortisation ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures used by management to assess the operating performance of the Group. EBITDA is defined as profit before finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortisation (excluding amortisation of capitalised software development costs). Share-based payment costs, other non-recurring items, exceptional costs and other operating income are excluded from EBITDA to calculate adjusted EBITDA.

 

The Directors primarily use the Adjusted EBITDA measure when making decisions about the Group's activities. As these are non-IFRS measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures used by other entities may not be calculated in the same way and hence are not directly comparable.

 

Segmental reporting

The Group reports its business activities in one area: video games development, which is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Board of directors, which has been identified as the chief operating decision maker.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended 31 December 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost of purchase or construction, which includes any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

 

After initial recognition, items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over its useful economic life as follows:

 

Fixtures, fittings and equipment                                                           5 - 7 years straight line

 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the income statement.

 

Intangible assets

The Group has two categories of intangible assets:

 

Purchased intellectual property

The Group purchases intellectual property related to video games. As part of the acquihires, the Group selectively acquires relevant target intellectual property via an asset purchase, rather than a corporate acquisition. These acquihires are determined to meet the concentration test in IFRS 3, as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset. At the time of purchase, the Group estimates the useful life of the intellectual property for financial reporting purposes and recognises amortisation on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset, typically 7 years.

 

Purchased intellectual property is reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or when events and circumstances indicate an impairment. The Group determined that an impairment charge was not necessary during the periods covered by the financial statements.

 

Software development costs

The Group incurs software development costs through game studios within the Group's control pursuant to IAS 38. Costs are amortised upon release of the game on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life, typically one to two years.

 

The Group capitalises external costs for localisation and porting of games as software development costs pursuant to IAS 38. Costs are amortised upon release of the game using the straight‐line method over its estimated useful life, typically two years.

 

Development advances paid to external developers for the development of specified games are capitalised as incurred. Amortisation commences upon release of the specified games and at a rate equivalent to the costs being recovered from developers, reflecting the pattern in which the asset's future economic benefits are expected to be consumed. The period over which the advances are amortised varies due to its dependency on the success of the game.

 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and of intangible assets, including right-of-use assets

At each reporting period end date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended 31 December 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and of intangible assets, including right-of-use assets (continued)

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

 

Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when the Group has become party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables that do not have a significant financing component are initially recognised at transaction price and thereafter are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Other receivables are stated at their transaction price (discounted if material) less any impairment losses.

 

Platform receivables are stated at the estimated amount management expects to collect from each platform, net of the applicable fees. Management estimates this amount monthly based on preliminary sales reports provided by each platform. Credit terms are typically 30 to 45 days.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other  short-term, highly liquid investments maturing within 90 days from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

The Group's financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and lease liabilities.

 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all its liabilities. Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, with all movements being recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Cost approximates to fair value.

 

Equity

Equity instruments issued are recorded at fair value on initial recognition net of transaction costs.

 

Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended 31 December 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Impairment of financial assets under IFRS 9

The Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which requires the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The Group recognises twelve month expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk and lifetime expected credit losses if there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Significant financial difficulties of the customer, probability that the customer will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation default or delinquency in payments, and the unavailability of credit insurance at commercial rates are considered indicators that the receivable may be impaired.

 

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Where receivables have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Platform receivables

To measure the expected credit losses, trade and other receivables, including platform receivables, have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. For other financial assets at amortised cost, the Group determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

 

Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

 

Share-based payments

The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the company. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. A credit is recognised directly in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

-         including any market performance conditions (for example, an entity's share price);

-         excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and

-         including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save). Non-market performance and service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest.

 

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. For share options which vest in instalments over the vesting period, each instalment is treated as a separate share option grant, each with a different vesting period.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended 31 December 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except if it arises from transactions or events that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, it is included in the accounting for the business combination.

 

Current tax

Tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the year and is calculated using the tax rates in force or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Taxable profit differs from accounting profit either because some income and expenses are never taxable or deductible, or deductible in other years.

 

Deferred tax

Using the statement of financial position asset and liability method, deferred tax is recognised in respect of all temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and the corresponding tax base, with the exception of temporary differences arising from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 

The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its asset and liabilities.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the Group considers that it is probable (ie more likely than not) that there will be sufficient taxable profits available for the asset to be utilised within the same tax jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, they relate to the same tax authority and the Group's intention is to settle the amounts on a net basis.

 

Since the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference associated with interests in subsidiaries, a deferred tax liability is recognised only when it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future mainly because of a dividend distribution.

 

At present, no provision is made for the additional tax that would be payable if the subsidiaries in certain countries remitted their profits because such remittances are not probable, as the Group intends to retain the funds to finance organic growth locally.

 

Leases

On commencement of a contract (or part of a contract) which gives the Company the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability unless the lease qualifies as a 'short-term' lease or a 'low-value' lease.

 

Short-term leases

Where the lease term is twelve months or less and the lease does not contain an option to purchase the leased asset, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Leases of low-value assets

For leases where the underlying asset is 'low-value', lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

 

 

TINYBUILD INC.         

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended 31 December 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Initial and subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset

A right-of-use asset is recognised at commencement of the lease and initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, plus any incremental costs of obtaining the lease and any lease payments made at or before the leased asset is available for use by the Group.

 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.  The depreciation methods applied are as follows:

 

Leased property                        on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life

 

The right-of-use asset is adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liability and lease modifications.

 

Initial measurement of the lease liability

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments during the lease term discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or the incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.

 

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus additional periods arising from extension options that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise and termination options that the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise.

 

Subsequent measurement of the lease liability

The lease liability is subsequently increased for a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability and reduced for lease payments.

 

Interest on the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss, unless interest is directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case it is capitalised in accordance with the Group's policy on borrowing costs.

 

Remeasurement of the lease liability

The lease liability is adjusted for changes arising from the original terms and conditions of the lease that change the lease term, the Group's assessment of its option to purchase the leased asset, the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and/or changes in lease payments due to a change in an index or rate.  The adjustment to the lease liability is recognised when the change takes effect and is adjusted against the right-of-use asset, unless the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to nil, when any further adjustment is recognised in profit or loss. On termination of leases, the right-of-use asset and lease liability are reduced, with any resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

 

Adjustments to the lease payments arising from a change in the lease term or the lessee's assessment of its option to purchase the leased asset are discounted using a revised discount rate. 

 

The revised discount rate is calculated as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of reassessment.

 

Changes to the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and changes to lease payments due to a change in an index or rate are recognised when the change takes effect and are discounted at the original discount rate unless the change is due to a change in floating interest rates, when the discount rate is revised to reflect the changes in interest rate.

for the year ended 31 December 2020

 

2          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Lease modifications

A lease modification is a change that was not part of the original terms and conditions of the lease and is accounted for as a separate lease if it increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more additional assets with a commensurate adjustment to the payments under the lease.

 

For a lease modification not accounted for as a separate lease, the lease liability is adjusted for the revised lease payments, discounted using a revised discount rate. The revised discount rate used is the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee company's incremental borrowing rate at the date of the modification.

 

Where the lease modification decreases the scope of the lease, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease.  Any difference between the adjustment to the lease liability and the adjustment to the right-of-use asset is recognised in profit or loss.

 

For all other lease modifications, the adjustment to the lease liability is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

 

Government grants

Income from government grants is presented within other operating income. Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. A forgivable loan from government is treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan. Grants are recognised as income when the associated performance conditions are met.

 

3          JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

 

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Judgements

In the course of preparing the financial statements, judgements have been made in the process of applying the accounting policies that have had a significant effect in the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following are the areas requiring the use of judgements that may significantly impact the financial statements.

 

Capitalisation of development expenditure

Management has to make judgements as to whether development expenditure has met the criteria for capitalisation or whether it should be expensed in the year. Development expenditure is capitalised only after its reliable measurement, technical feasibility and commercial viability can be demonstrated.

 

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

In determining the lease term, the Group assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise, or not to exercise, options to extend or terminate a lease. This assessment is made at the start of the lease and is re-assessed if significant events of changes in circumstances occur that are within the lessee's control. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are remeasured where the termination of a lease is considered reasonably certain, and the value of the lease payments due are known.

3          JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED)

 

Estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Estimates include:

 

Share based payment charge

In relation to equity-settled remuneration schemes, employee services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of grant. The fair value of share options is estimated by using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of grant, based on certain assumptions. A movement of 1% in the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments would result in a charge/credit of $31,000 (2019: $28,000).

 

Measurement, useful lives and impairment of intangible assets

Purchased intellectual property is considered to have a useful economic life of seven years. Other intangible assets (except for goodwill) are also considered to have a finite useful economic life. They are amortised over their estimated useful lives that are reviewed at each reporting date. In the event of impairment, an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount is made. The value of the intangible assets are tested whenever there are indications of impairment and reviewed at each reporting date or more frequently should this be justified by internal or external events.

 

After assessing the carrying value of each intangible asset which is not yet ready for use at the reporting date, which is shown net of any impairment charge posted, the Directors are confident that the forecast cash generation is in excess of the intangible asset held. The forecast cash generation is taken from the Group's forecasts which cover the trading expectations for a minimum of two years after the reporting date. The forecast revenue and cash generation from each intangible asset are separately identifiable within the Group forecasts. The forecast cash generation represents significant assumptions regarding its commercial performance, should the assumptions prove to be significantly incorrect there would be a risk of material adjustment in the financial year following the release of that product.

 

4          SEGMENTAL REPORTING

 

IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires that operating segments be identified on the basis of internal reporting and decision-making. The Group identifies operating segments based on internal management reporting that is regularly reported to and reviewed by the Board of directors, which is identified as the chief operating decision maker. Management information is reported as one operating segment, being revenue from self-published franchises and other revenue streams such as royalties, licensing, development and events.

 

Whilst the chief operating decision maker considers there to be only one segment, the Company's portfolio of games is split between those based on IP owned by the Group and IP owned by a third party and hence to aid the readers understanding of our results, the split of revenue from these two categories are shown below.

13       EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Group reports basic and diluted earnings per common share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the post year end share split (note 30).   Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, taking into account the effects of all potential dilutive common shares, including options.

Pursuant to IAS 33, 23,942,729 options whose exercise price is higher than the value of the Company's security were not taken into account in determining the effect of dilutive instruments. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

 

Subsequent to the year end, the Company issued 21,438,985 new shares and 1,511,449 warrants to subscribe for shares which would have a dilutive effect.

Purchased intellectual property relates to the intellectual property rights to the certain games and franchises. The intellectual property is considered to have a useful life of 7 years and is amortised on a straight-line basis over the useful life. The intellectual property is assessed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. A formal impairment review is only undertaken if there are indicators of impairment. Any impairment is recognised immediately within the Statement of Comprehensive Income. During 2019, the Group purchased the intellectual property rights to the Hello Neighbor franchise and all associated rights for consideration totalling $5.6m. In the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group purchased the intellectual property rights to two video games for total consideration of $570,000. Amortisation of purchased intellectual property is recognised within general administrative expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Software development costs relate to costs incurred for the localisation and porting of games, advances paid to external developers under development agreements and the direct payroll and overhead costs of the internal development teams. Amortisation of software development costs commences upon release of the game and is recognised within cost of sales in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Included within software development costs is $1,723,000 (2019: $468,000) relating to intangible assets under construction for which amortisation has not yet commenced.

17        SUBSIDIARIES (CONTINUED)

 

No subsidiary undertakings have been excluded from the consolidation. A new subsidiary, tinyBuilding LLC was formed and subsequently dissolved in 2019. During the year, the Company's ownership interest in DevGamm LLC decreased from 70% to 60% (see note 28).

 

DevGamm LLC contributed $526,000 to the Group's revenue in the year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: $1,132,000). Other than DevGamm LLC's revenue, the revenue, net assets and cash flows of all non-controlling interests are not considered to be material to the group.

All of the platform receivables were non-interest bearing, receivable under normal commercial terms. The Directors consider that the carrying value of trade and other receivables approximates to their fair value. The Group has assessed the credit risk of its financial assets measured at amortised cost and has determined that the loss allowance for expected credit losses of those assets is immaterial to the financial statements.

Contract liabilities	2,675	1,225

 

Contract liabilities are development advances received from distribution partners to aid in the development of video games. In accordance with the Group's revenue recognition accounting policy, the revenue amounting to the transaction price allocated to each distinct performance obligation is deferred and subsequently recognised when those distinct performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue of $1,225,000 was recognised during 2020 in respect of contract liabilities as at 31 December 2019.

Payroll protection program loan	13	-

 

On 5 May 2020, the Group received a loan of $174,696 guaranteed by the Small Business Administration under the Payroll Protection Program as part of US government measures in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. The loan accrues interest at 1%. Upon meeting certain criteria of the program, all or part of the loan proceeds may be forgiven. On 17 December 2020, $162,174 of the loan balance was forgiven. The remaining balance of $12,522 was repaid by the Group to the lender in monthly instalments finishing in May 2021.

 

22         LEASES
The maturity of the gross contractual undiscounted cash flows due on the Group's lease liabilities is set out below based on the period between the reporting date and the contractual maturity date.

Analysed as:
Non-current	442	621

As disclosed in more detail in note 16, the carrying value of right-of-use assets in respect of the above lease liabilities is $673,202 (2019: $874,277).

 

The Group's lease arrangements are in relation to 3 property leases. The leases have termination dates ranging from 2020 to 2024. The Group terminated one lease early in March 2019 with no penalty and is reasonably certain that it will not activate any early termination clauses in the remaining leases.

 

The rates of interest implicit in the Group's lease arrangements are not readily determinable and management have determined that the incremental borrowing rate to be applied in calculating the lease liability is 3.0%. The fair value of the Group's lease obligations is approximately equal to their carrying amount.

23          FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Group's financial instruments at the reporting dates mainly comprise cash and various items arising directly from its operations, such as trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.

 

(a)           Risk management policies

 

The Group's Directors are responsible for overviewing capital resources and maintaining efficient capital flow, together with managing the Group's market, liquidity, foreign exchange, interest and credit risk exposures.

23         FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

 

(b)           Financial assets and liabilities

 

Financial assets and liabilities analysed by the categories were as follows:

 

		As at 31 December 2020	As at 31 December 2019
Financial assets at amortised cost:		$'000	$'000
Trade and other receivables		5,015	3,717
Cash and cash equivalents		26,313	17,009
		30,760	20,220
Financial liabilities at amortised cost:
Borrowings		13	-
Trade and other payables		3,496	2,516
Lease liabilities		626	798
		4,135	3,314

 

The carrying value of all financial instruments is not materially different from their fair value.  Cash and cash equivalents attract floating interest rates. Accordingly, their carrying amounts are considered to approximate to fair value.

 

(c)           Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Maximum credit risk at the reporting dates was as follows:

 

	As at 31 December 2020	As at 31 December 2019
	$'000	$'000
Current trade and other receivables	4,999	3,701
Non-current trade and other receivables	16	16
Cash and cash equivalents	26,313	17,009
	31,328	20,726

 

Before accepting a new customer, the Group assesses both the potential customer's credit quality and risk. Customer contracts are drafted to reduce any potential credit risk to the Group. Where appropriate the customer's recent financial statements are reviewed. The Group advances royalties to developers, giving rise to an asset. The Group is generally shielded from credit risk because it deducts repayments of those advances from the income received from the distributors, therefore any liquidity or other constraint the developer faces does not impact the recoverability of the developer advance.

 

The Group has assessed the credit risk of its financial assets measured at amortised cost and has determined that the loss allowance for expected credit losses of those assets is immaterial to the financial statements.

TINYBUILD INC.         

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended 31 December 2020

 

23        FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

 

The Group's exposure to credit losses has historically been very low given the blue chip nature of the customers and there being no historical write offs.

 

Accounts receivable from the Group's four largest customers at 31 December 2020 totalled approximately $3.5m (2019: $2.4m).

 

(d)           Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Management monitors the level of cash and cash equivalents on a continuous basis to ensure sufficient liquidity to be able to meet the Group's obligations as they fall due.

 

Contractual cash flows relating to the Group's financial liabilities are as follows:

 

	As at 31 December 2020	As at 31 December 2019
	$'000	$'000
Within 1 year:
Borrowings	13	-
Trade payables	3,057	2,513
Accruals and other payables	439	3
Lease liabilities	184	177
	3,693	2,693
Between 1-2 years: Lease liabilities	189	182
Between 2-3 years: Lease liabilities	188	188
Between 3-4 years: Lease liabilities	65	187
Between 4-5 years: Lease liabilities	-	64
Total	4,135	3,314

 

(e)           Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows associated with a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest on the Group's borrowings is fixed at 1% and interest rates on cash and cash equivalents are low, such that interest rate risk is minimal.

 

(f)        Capital management

 

The Group's main objective when managing capital is to protect returns to shareholders by ensuring the Group will continue to trade for the foreseeable future. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

 

The Group considers its capital to include cash, share capital and retained earnings.

25        SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Group operates two share-based plans, the Equity Incentive Plan and a Stock Restriction Agreement, which are detailed as follows:

 

The Stock Restriction Agreement is a plan that provides for grants of Restricted Stock Awards (RSA) for the founders of the company. The awarded shares are made in the Company's ordinary share capital. The fair value of the RSAs is estimated by using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of grant, based on certain assumptions, and is charged on a straight-line basis over the required service period, normally two to three years. The fair value of the 2017 grant is $8.98 per share and the 2019 grant is $40.21 per share. The RSAs vest in instalments every three months over the service period. Each instalment has been treated as a separate share option grant because each instalment has a different vesting period. This plan is equity-settled. A reconciliation of RSAs is as follows:
