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.

·	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.

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.

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.
