NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2016

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Alliance Bioenergy Plus, Inc (the “Company”) is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in the renewable energy, biofuels and new technologies sectors. From inception through December 5, 2014, the Company was known as Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. At inception (March 28, 2012), the Company was organized as a vehicle to engage in the commercial production, distribution and exploitation of Motion Pictures and other Entertainment products. However, in December 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, AMG Renewables, LLC (“AMG Renewables”), acquired the controlling interest (51%) in AMG Energy Group, LLC (“AMG Energy”), which owns a fifty percent (50%) interest of Carbolosic, LLC (“Carbolosic”), which holds an exclusive worldwide license to the University of Central Florida’s patented technology (U.S. Patent 8,062,428) known as “CTS™”. The CTS technology is a mechanical/chemical, dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry as well as other fine chemical manufacturing. The Company’s goal in acquiring the interest in AMG Energy was to develop the CTS technology to a commercial scale and then seek to license the technology to prospective licensees. In September 2014, the Company determined to focus all of the Company’s resources and personnel on the Company’s renewable energy holdings and future energy technologies and to divest the Company of its entertainment-related assets and subsidiaries. The Company therefore determined at that time to divest and sell off, close down or discontinue the operations of its entertainment-related subsidiaries. Effective December 5, 2014, amended the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Alliance Bioenergy Plus, Inc., which is more appropriately descriptive of the new business direction of the Company.

Commencing in March 2016, the Company commenced action to restructure its energy-related holdings through the following transactions;

1)       In March 2016, AMG Renewables, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sold its interest in Carbolosic Plant 1 to Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP, an unrelated third party, in exchange for satisfaction of the outstanding $1,250,000 loan and $36,488 interest between Carbolosic Plant 1 and Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP. In connection with the transaction, an amount which the Company had prepaid to Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP ($122,879) for future marketing and interest was eliminated in the sale.

2)       AMG Renewables, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to acquire, by merger, the remaining 49% of AMG Energy Solutions, Inc. (“Solutions”) which it did not previously own by issuing 8,700,000 shares of new Company common stock to the holders of the minority interest in Solutions. Prior to the completion of this transaction, Solutions owned 43% of AMG Energy and two other parties controlled 6% of AMG Energy. As of September 30, 2016, this merger had yet to be completed as certain conditions had yet to be satisfied. The Company believes that this transaction will be completed in the 4^th quarter of 2016. Following the merger, the Company will own 94% of AMG Energy, which in turn will own 100% of EK Laboratories, Inc. and 50% of Carbolosic. At the same time, the Company has agreed to acquire the remaining 6% of AMG Energy from the remaining two parties in exchange for issuance of an aggregate of 1,540,094 shares of Company common stock. In addition, the remaining balance owed under the original transaction has been renegotiated at aggregate principal balance of $2,098,696 bearing an interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum and maturing on July 20, 2017.

3)       Following completion of the foregoing merger, AMG Renewables and AMG Energy, would both then be wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, having agreed to enter into a merger transaction whereby AMG Energy is the surviving company. Thereafter, AMG Energy would become the holding company for all of the energy holdings of the Company (EK Laboratories, Inc. and a 50% interest in Carbolosic, which includes certain licensing rights in North America and Africa) and the existence of AMG Renewables will terminate.

Plan of Operation

The Company is focused on one industry – Renewable Energy. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Energy, the Company owns Ek Laboratories, Inc. and a 50% interest in Carbolosic (which includes certain licensing rights in North America and Africa). The Company has a strategy that includes growth in its energy-related activities as well as mergers and acquisitions and start-up activities which are focused on development of an increasing revenue stream, secure market share and enhancement of shareholder value.

AMG ENERGY GROUP, LLC

AMG Energy was created for the purpose of managing and developing the Company’s renewable energy technology enterprises. Through a series of transactions described in ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION, above, the Company anticipates that in the 4^th quarter of 2016 AMG Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s sole holding company for all of its energy interests. These interests would comprise ownership of 100% of EK Laboratories, Inc., a Florida corporation (“EK”) formerly known as Central Florida Institute of Science and Technology, Inc. and a fifty percent (50%) interest in Carbolosic, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Carbolosic”), which holds an exclusive worldwide license to the University of Central Florida’s patented technology (U.S. Patent 8,062,428) known as “CTS™”. The CTS technology is a mechanical/chemical, dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry as well as other fine chemical manufacturing. The Company’s goal is to develop this CTS technology to a commercial scale and then seek to license the technology to prospective licensees. EK was formed to serve as a demonstration and research facility to further develop the CTS process, its uses, and develop new technologies.

In addition, AMG Energy has entered into a series of agreements with various unrelated third parties, wherein AMG Energy sublicensed the CTS technology to Naldogen (Pty) Ltd., an existing South African company, which has been renamed Carbolosic Energy SA PTY LTD (“Carbolosic SA”). Carbolosic SA shall be solely devoted to exploitation of the CTS technology in South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana and the term of the sublicense is coterminous with the master license (i.e. through July 1, 2032). The consideration for the grant of the sublicense is $25,000,000 (“License Fee”), which was to be paid or guaranteed by March 1, 2016. In addition to the license fee, the sublicense holder will pay AMG Energy a royalty of 3.5% of the revenues on the first CTS plant developed and a 5.0% royalty on the revenues of additional plants developed. Until the $25,000,000 payment has been received, the Company does not consider all of the events required under the agreement to have been completed. Therefore the Company has not recorded any of the fee in the accompanying financial statements. Contemporaneously, Carbolosic SA’s shareholders entered into an agreement whereby, among other matters, it was agreed that ownership of Carbolosic SA shall be 43.5% for Tes Projects (Pty) Ltd, a South African company (“Tes”), 24.5 % for Spearhead Capital Ltd, a Seychelles company (“Spearhead”), 7.5% for Jupiter Trust, a South African Trust (“Jupiter”) and 24.5% for the Company. TES, Spearhead and Jupiter are all unrelated to the Company. The interests of Tes and Jupiter are delivered in consideration of the funding or guarantee of funding of the License Fee; Spearhead’s interest is in consideration of facilitating the Sublicense transaction; and the Company’s interest is in exchange for the delivery to Carbolosic SA of a 24.5% interest in one of the Company’s CTS sugar extracting plants to be developed in the United States. In February 2016, due to economic and political turmoil in South Africa, members of Tes Projects (Pty) Ltd and Jupiter Trust resigned from management and from the Board of Carbolosic SA and returned all ownership interest in Carbolosic SA to the Carbolosic SA treasury. Spearhead Capital intends to continue operations of Carbolosic SA but at this time there is no guarantee that they will be successful in securing the needed funds or contracts to do so. The Company will continue to evaluate its position in Africa to determine the strategy it intends to pursue.

Carbolosic Plant 1 was created in October 2014 for the purpose of being a full-scale facility for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry as well as other fine chemical manufacturing located in Palm Beach County, FL. In March 2016, Carbolosic Plant 1 was sold to Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP, a non-related third party, in exchange for satisfaction of the outstanding $1,250,000 loan and accrued interest between Carbolosic Plant 1 and Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP.

The Company believes that its management and consultants have significant experience in the bio-fuels, renewable energy and chemical manufacturing industries. As of the date of filing, the Company has not generated any revenues from its renewable energy business.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenue, has incurred losses since inception, has a working capital deficiency of $2,252,535 and may be unable to raise further equity. At September 30, 2016 the Company had incurred accumulated losses of $19,882,797 since its inception. The Company expects to incur significant additional liabilities in connection with its start-up activities. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. There are no assurances that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

The Company intends to raise additional capital, sell licenses to its CTS technology and continue constructing its full scale demonstration facility which, once operational, is expected to generate cash flow in amounts sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses and debt service.

Through its private offerings, the Company raised $3,730,390 from inception through December 31, 2015 and raised an additional $2,708,994, of which $100,000 is recorded as a stock subscription receivable, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. Intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in business entities in which the Company lacks control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss of the entity is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates of impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

Stock Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.

Stock-based Compensation Valuation Methodology

Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance of common stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the then-prevailing closing market price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s closing day market price per share. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rate.

The stock compensation issued for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was valued on the date of issuance. The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option-pricing models for warrant-based stock compensation issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

Accounting and Reporting of Discontinued Operations

As required by the FASB ASC Subtopic 205.20, per ASU 2014-08, Discontinued Operations, a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity can be classified as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (i) the criteria in paragraph 205.20.45.1E to be classified as held for sale is met (ii) the component is disposed of by sale, or (iii) the component is disposed of other than by sale in accordance with paragraph 360.10.45.15 (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff). Certain components to be disposed of other than by sale shall continue to be classified as “held and used” until it is disposed of, per the requirements of ASC Subtopic 360.10. Depreciation on these assets ceases upon their classification as “held and used.” The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-08 effective September 1, 2014.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide it with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to its own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 (“Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses the classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

Non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alliance BioEnergy Plus, Inc. and those subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control either through voting rights or means other than voting rights. For these subsidiaries, the Company records 100% of the revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements. For subsidiaries that the Company controls but hold less than 100% ownership, a non-controlling interest is recorded in the consolidated income statement to reflect the non-controlling interest’s share of the net income (loss), and a non-controlling interest is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet to reflect the non-controlling interest’s share of the net assets of the subsidiary.

Investments in non-consolidated affiliates

Investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment are accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company’s share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.

The Company’s investment in Carbolosic, LLC is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company monitors its investment for impairment at least annually and make appropriate reductions in the carrying value if it determines that an impairment charge is required based on qualitative and quantitative information.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and their ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Profit (Loss) per Common Share:

Basic profit (loss) per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus the potentially dilutive effect of securities such as outstanding options and warrants. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method. The warrants and options are antidilutive for all periods presented. When net loss is reported, diluted and basic net loss per share amounts are the same as the impact of potential common shares is antidilutive.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, payables to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

On December 26, 2013, AMG Renewables, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“AMG Renewables”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the controlling interest (51%) in AMG Energy Group, LLC a Florida limited liability company (“AMG Energy”) from certain related parties. AMG Energy owns a fifty percent (50%) interest of Carbolosic, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Carbolosic”), which holds an exclusive worldwide license to the University of Central Florida’s patented technology (U.S. Patent 8,062,428) known as “CTS™”. The CTS technology is a mechanical/chemical, dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry as well as other fine chemical manufacturing. The results of AMG Renewables and AMG Energy are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. AMG Energy’s investment in Carbolosic is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

On May 13, 2015, The Company entered an agreement with Carbolosic SA’s shareholders whereby, among other matters, it was agreed that ownership of Carbolosic SA shall be 43.5% for Tes Projects (Pty) Ltd, a South African company (“Tes”), 24.5 % for Spearhead Capital Ltd, a Seychelles company (“Spearhead”), 7.5% for Jupiter Trust, a South African Trust (“Jupiter”) and 24.5% for Alliance BioEnergy Plus, Inc. TES, Spearhead and Jupiter are all unrelated to the Company. The interests of Tes and Jupiter are delivered in consideration of the funding or guarantee of funding of the License Fee; Spearhead’s interest is in consideration of facilitating the Sublicense transaction; and the Company’s interest is in exchange for the delivery to Carbolosic SA of a 24.5% interest in one of the Company’s CTS sugar extracting plants to be developed in the United States. The Company’s investment in Carbolosic SA is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The following is a condensed balance sheet of the unconsolidated affiliates as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and a comparative statement of operations for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2016 and 2015.

NOTE 5 – DEBT

Short Term Notes Payable - Related Parties

Throughout 2013, the Company issued unsecured short-term notes payable to various related parties, including officers and directors of the Company, with a term of one year, which have since been extended. At September 30, 2016 there was one consolidated note outstanding to Palm Beach Energy Solutions, LLC. The note has an outstanding principal balance of $71,000 and bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total interest accrued on the note was $11,701 and $9,036 respectively.

Short Term Notes Payable – Other

On July 7, 2015, the Company entered into a six month (6) promissory note with St. George Investments, LLC with a face amount of $265,000 less an original issue discount of $65,000. This note does not accrue interest. In addition, a ten percent (10%) broker commission was paid to Wellington Shields & Co. LLC, which is being amortized over the life of the note. In January 2016, the company repaid this note in full. The total amount paid was $306,890, which represented a $265,000 principal balance and $41,890 in default interest and early payment penalties.

Long Term Notes Payable – Other

During the year ended December 31, 2014, Carbolosic Plant 1, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP to begin receiving long term loans, pursuant to the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, to develop a CTS demonstration facility. These loans were to be issued in multiple advances, each in an amount greater than or equal to $500,000 up to the target loan amount of $33,000,000. The initial term on each of these loans was five (5) years from the date of each advance and bear interest at a rate of 4.31% per annum. The Company could earn a 0.51% rate discount if the first five years of interest due to lender was paid within 15 days of each advance. In addition, these loans could not be prepaid and were secured by all assets of the Company. The Company received two (2) long term notes payable, with a combined principal balance of $1,250,000 in the year ended December 31, 2014. The company had taken advantage of the 0.51% rate discount on one of these notes payable, with a principal amount of $500,000, and issued a $95,000 interest payment to the Lender on December 9, 2014. In January 2015, the Company made a $4,162 interest payment towards the second note. In March 2016, Carbolosic Plant 1 was sold to Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP, a non-related third party, in exchange for satisfaction of the outstanding $1,250,000 loan and $36,488 interest. In connection with the transaction, an amount which the Company had prepaid to Carbolosic Energy 1, LLLP ($122,879) for future marketing and interest was eliminated in the sale.

Convertible Debt

On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a convertible debenture with Iconic Holdings, LLC with a principal balance of $165,000 due on or before June 30, 2016. This note provided for “guaranteed” interest of ten percent (10.0%) of the principal balance outstanding. This note could only be prepaid within the first 180 days along with a prepayment penalty of one hundred ten percent (110%) and increasing ten percent (10%) every sixty (60) days to a maximum of one hundred thirty percent (130%). After 180 days, the note could be converted into the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to sixty percent (60%) of the lowest trading price during the preceding 15 consecutive trading days prior to date of conversion. In addition, in order to obtain this note, the Company issued Iconic Holdings, LLC a five (5) year common stock purchase warrant agreement for up to 50,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.75 per share. These warrants were fully granted and vested at time of issuance and are being amortized over the life of the agreement.

Business Overview

Alliance Bioenergy Plus, Inc (the “Company”) is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in the renewable energy, biofuels and new technologies sectors. From inception through December 5, 2014, the Company was known as Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. At inception (March 28, 2012), the Company was organized as a vehicle to engage in the commercial production, distribution and exploitation of Motion Pictures and other Entertainment products. However, in December 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, AMG Renewables, LLC (“AMG Renewables”), acquired the controlling interest (51%) in AMG Energy Group, LLC (“AMG Energy”), which owns a fifty percent (50%) interest of Carbolosic, LLC (“Carbolosic”), which holds an exclusive worldwide license to the University of Central Florida’s patented technology (U.S. Patent 8,062,428) known as “CTS™”. The CTS technology is a mechanical/chemical, dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry as well as other fine chemical manufacturing. The Company’s goal in acquiring the interest in AMG Energy is to develop the CTS technology to a commercial scale and then seek to license the technology to prospective licensees. In September 2014, the Company determined to focus all of the Company’s resources and personnel on the Company’s renewable energy holdings and future energy technologies and to divest the Company of its entertainment-related assets and subsidiaries. The principal reason for such action was the recognition that the Company’s entertainment-related assets were generating substantial losses and contributing little value compared to the potential management saw in the energy-related activities and to provide a clear focus and direction to the Company moving forward. The Company therefore determined at that time to divest and sell off, close down or discontinue the operations of its entertainment-related subsidiaries. Subsequently, the Company determined that the name Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. was no longer relevant to the new business direction of the Company and, effective December 5, 2014, amended the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Alliance Bioenergy Plus, Inc., which is more appropriately descriptive of the new business direction of the Company.

Plan of Operation

The Company is focused on one industry – Renewable Energy. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Renewables, LLC, which in turn owns controlling interests in AMG Energy Group, LLC, and EK Laboratories, Inc., the Company has a strategy that includes growth in its energy-related activities as well as mergers and acquisitions and start-up activities which are focused on development of an increasing revenue stream, secure market share and enhancement of shareholder value.

AMG RENEWABLES, LLC

AMG Renewables, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“AMG Renewables”), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, created for the purpose of managing and developing the Company’s renewable energy technology enterprises. AMG Renewables has two majority owned subsidiaries, AMG Energy Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“AMG Energy”) and Ek Laboratories, Inc, a Florida corporation (“EK”).

On May 13, 2015, AMG Energy entered into a series of agreements with various unrelated third parties, wherein AMG Energy sublicensed the CTS technology to Naldogen (Pty) Ltd., an existing South African company, which will be renamed Carbolosic Energy SA PTY LTD (“Carbolosic SA”). Carbolosic SA shall be solely devoted to exploitation of the CTS technology in South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana and the term of the sublicense is coterminous with the master license (i.e. through July 1, 2032). The consideration for the grant of the sublicense is $25,000,000 (“License Fee”), which was to be paid or guaranteed by March 1, 2016. In addition to the license fee, the sublicense holder will pay AMG Energy a royalty of 3.5% of the revenues on the first CTS plant developed and a 5.0% royalty on the revenues of additional plants developed. Until the $25,000,000 payment has been received, the Company does not consider all of the events required under the agreement to have been completed. Therefore the Company has not recorded and of the fee in the accompanying financial statements.

Contemporaneously, Carbolosic SA’s shareholders entered into an agreement whereby, among other matters, it was agreed that ownership of Carbolosic SA shall be 43.5% for Tes Projects (Pty) Ltd, a South African company (“Tes”), 24.5 % for Spearhead Capital Ltd, a Seychelles company (“Spearhead”), 7.5% for Jupiter Trust, a South African Trust (“Jupiter”) and 24.5% for Alliance BioEnergy Plus, Inc. TES, Spearhead and Jupiter are all unrelated to the Company. The interests of Tes and Jupiter are delivered in consideration of the funding or guarantee of funding of the License Fee; Spearhead’s interest is in consideration of facilitating the Sublicense transaction; and the Company’s interest is in exchange for the delivery to Carbolosic SA of a 24.5% interest in one of the Company’s CTS sugar extracting plants to be developed in the United States.

In February 2016, due to economic and political turmoil in South Africa, members of Tes Projects (Pty) Ltd and Jupiter Trust resigned from management and from the Board of Carbolosic SA and returned all ownership interest in Carbolosic SA to the Carbolosic SA treasury. Spearhead Capital intends to continue operations of Carbolosic SA but at this time there is no guarantee that they will be successful in securing the needed funds or contracts to do so. The Company will evaluate its position in Africa in the coming months and decide on a path forward.

On July 29, 2015, Alliance BioEnergy Plus, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into two agreements with Renewable Resources Development of America, LLC (“RRDA”) related to the development of facilities by RRDA in North and South America which will utilize the Company’s Cellulose to Sugar (“CTS”) technology. RRDA is engaged in construction and finance of facilities for municipal solid waste recovery and plastics, metals and paper recycling, chemical extraction from ore for manufacturing and cellulose material conversion into sugars for manufacture of bio-fuels, bio-plastics and other products. In connection with its business plan, RRDA is developing facilities using cellulose conversion technology.

In this regard, the Company and RRDA entered into a Non-Exclusive Development Agreement (“Development Agreement”) pursuant to which RRDA will utilize the CTS technology in the plants it develops. Under the Development Agreement, the Company would license its intellectual property to RRDA and provide certain consulting and educational services to RRDA. The specific terms of the license have yet to be determined. It is currently RRDA’s plan to develop up to 56 plants.

In addition, the Company and RRDA simultaneously entered into a Finance Agreement (“Finance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company would receive $4 million cash in exchange for the following: (a) RRDA shall receive a number of shares of Company Common Stock such that at the closing of the financing RRDA would own ten percent (10%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company; (b) RRDA would receive a Warrant to purchase two (2) million shares of Company Common Stock on terms to be agreed; (c) the license fee payable to the Company on account of the first plant being developed by RRDA in Georgia would be waived and (d) RRDA will designate two (2) persons to be appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.

In March 2016, the Company canceled the Finance Agreement with RRDA due to a lack of funding in a timely manner. The Development Agreement remains in effect and any opportunities brought to the Company under this agreement will be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other license opportunity, including the proposed plant in Vidalia, Georgia.

AMG ENERGY GROUP, LLC

AMG Energy was created for the purpose of managing and developing the Company’s renewable energy technology enterprises. Through a series of transactions described in ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION, above, the Company anticipates that in the 4^th quarter of 2016 AMG Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s sole holding company for all of its energy interests. These interests would comprise ownership of 100% of EK Laboratories, Inc., a Florida corporation (“EK”) formerly known as Central Florida Institute of Science and Technology, Inc. and a fifty percent (50%) interest in Carbolosic, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Carbolosic”), which holds an exclusive worldwide license to the University of Central Florida’s patented technology (U.S. Patent 8,062,428) known as “CTS™”. The CTS technology is a mechanical/chemical, dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry as well as other fine chemical manufacturing. The Company’s goal is to develop this CTS technology to a commercial scale and then seek to license the technology to prospective licensees.

From January 1, 2016 through the date of filing, $115,000 of the Company’s convertible debt converted to 1,048,460 shares of common stock. The company assesses the value of the beneficial conversion feature of its convertible debt by determining the intrinsic value of such conversions, under ASC 470, at the time of issuance. At the time of issuance of the convertible debt instruments set out above, the fair value of the stock was greater than the conversion price, and therefore a total value of $218,301 was attributed to the beneficial conversion feature.

In April 2016, the Company issued 1,388,886 warrants to acquire a convertible note. Each warrant is convertible into one (1) share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share or the lowest trade price in the preceding 10 trading days. The term on these warrants is 5 years. Using a Black-Sholes asset pricing model, the warrants were valued at $333,145.

In October 2016, the Company commenced a new offering of units valued at $0.20 per share. Each unit consist of one (1) share of common stock and one (1) five-year Series E warrant convertible to one (1) common share at an exercise price of $0.45. Since October 1, 2016, the Company has sold 675,000 units for aggregate proceeds of $135,000. The offering is ongoing

In October 2016, JMJ Financial converted $402,750 of its convertible debenture into 2,685,000 shares of Company common stock, however the restrictive Legend remained. In addition, JMJ Financial also exercised warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $3,675. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the rights to purchase common stock were increased to 2,763,273 shares with a 5-year term and exercise price of $0.15. The Company disputes the validity of these transactions based on an agreed upon amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement that no conversion was to occur within the first 180 days. The Company and JMJ are currently negotiating to resolve this matter.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since inception, has a working capital deficiency, and may be unable to raise further equity. At September 30, 2016 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,252,535 and had incurred accumulated losses of $19,882,797 since its inception. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses in connection with its continued start-up activities. As a result, the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2015 contains an emphasis of matter paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern based upon recurring operating losses and its need to obtain additional financing to sustain operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses. Furthermore, these financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Through its private offerings, the Company raised $1,162,209 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and an additional $2,708,994, of which $100,000 is recorded as a stock subscription receivable, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the period ended September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2015

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $1,573,006 to $765,657 from $2,338,663 in the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase is primarily the result of a $1,259,491 decrease in professional fees and a $158,380 decrease in payroll fees. Of the $765,657 general and administrative expense, approximately 30% or $230,586 is non-cash equity compensation.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $589,348 to $3,509,162 from $4,098,510 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease is primarily the result of $847,900 decrease in professional fees and a $235,080 decrease in payroll, while simultaneously increasing loan fees by $438,348. Of the $3,509,162 general and administrative expense, approximately 54% or $1,906,351 is non-cash equity compensation.

Interest expense decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2016 by approximately $84,581 to $895 from $85,476 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was the result of the Company not holding any interest accruing convertible notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s interest expense increased by approximately $368,724 to $486,321 from $117,597 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase is the result of 10 notes having been repaid, with early payment penalties, during the nine months ended September 30 2016 and only 3 notes repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s equity loss in its unconsolidated affiliates decreased $19,961 to $41,104 from $61,065 during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company’s equity loss in its unconsolidated affiliate decreased $18,557 to $124,781 from $143,338 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease is primarily attributed to a reduction in travel and professional fees.

The Company’s discontinued operations did not have any activity for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a $64 loss incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company’s discontinued operations decreased $25,956 to 3,125 from $29,081 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These amounts are the result of the Company’s decision in September 2014 to divest the Company of its entertainment-related assets and subsidiaries and to focus all of the Company’s resources and personnel on the Company’s renewable energy holdings and future energy technologies.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $7,877 as opposed to $6,088 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, R&D expenses were $15,008 as opposed to $24,551 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in R&D expenses is the result of the opening of Ek Laboratories, Inc. in June 2015 and its initial bulk purchases of gasses and other fine grade materials used in the CTS process.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2016 the Company had $10,840 in cash and total stockholders’ equity was $6,391,999. Total debt from continuing operations, including advances, accounts payable and other notes payable at September 30, 2016, together with interest payable thereon, was $3,157,044 a decrease of $1,939,638 from $5,096,682 at December 31, 2015. This decrease is attributable to the satisfaction of $1,250,000 in long-term debt, the repayment of $1,264,000 in convertible debt and the recent addition of a $555,556 convertible note.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s continuing operating activities used $1,884,936 in cash. This use can be attributed to the sale of Carbolosic Plant 1 which resulted in an aggregate net amount of $1,163,609.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company’s investing activities used $185,229 in cash, which $111,376 was advanced to Carbolosic, LLC mainly for payment of the minimum annual royalty and $58,476 was used towards capitalized engineering and development plans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company generated $2,022,076 through its financing activities. This can primarily be attributed to the retirement of $884,000 in convertible debt and $265,000 in notes payable, while simultaneously raising $2,708,994 through its ongoing offerings and securing $555,556 in convertible debt.

Capital Resources

At this time, the Company has limited liquidity and capital resources. To continue funding the Company’s operations, the company will need to generate revenue and/or will require additional funding for ongoing operations and to finance such projects it may identify. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has raised $2,708,994, of which $100,000 is recorded as a stock subscription receivable, in addition to $3,730,390 raised through December 31, 2015 for a total of $6,339,384 through its private placement offerings. However, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to raise any additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company.

The inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to reevaluate and revise its operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in Regulation S-X and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. Intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or any other period. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in business entities in which the Company lacks control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss of the entity is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates of impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Stock Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for under in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this Update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer in a development stage that in prior years it had been in the development stage.

The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. Finally, the amendments remove paragraph 810-10-15-16. Paragraph 810-10-15-16 states that a development stage entity does not meet the condition in paragraph 810-10-15-14(a) to be a variable interest entity if (1) the entity can demonstrate that the equity invested in the legal entity is sufficient to permit it to finance the activities that it is currently engaged in and (2) the entity’s governing documents and contractual arrangements allow additional equity investments. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-10 effective July 31, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)        Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to reasonably ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The principal basis for this conclusion is the lack of segregation of duties within our financial function and the lack of an operating Audit Committee.

(b)       Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject, from time to time, to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of filing, the only material litigation, claims or suits whose outcomes could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements are as follows:

Creative Licensing Litigation.

During 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Television, LLC (“AMG Television”), had entered into agreements (collectively, the “Creative Licensing Agreement”) to acquire (i) the partially completed American Idol style reality series World Star (formerly Recreating A Legend) for a $600,000 cash payment plus 1,600,000 shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) the completed documentary Making of a Saint: The Journey to Sainthood for a $100,000 cash payment plus 267,000 shares of Company Common Stock. Subsequently, on April 25, 2014, the Company and AMG Television notified the sellers that it was rescinding both transactions due to a breach of the Creative Licensing Agreement in that the sellers misled AMG Television regarding the status and ownership of the rights and failed to provide agreed documentation required in order to permit exploitation of the projects. In the legal action filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County Florida (Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. and AMG Television, LLC v. Creative Licensing International, LLC, et. al. case no. 502014CA005033XXXXMBAF), the Company and AMG Television allege that Creative Licensing International, LLC and 28 individual defendants (including Roy A. Sciacca and Lisa Colletti) breached the Creative Licensing Agreement and fraudulently induced AMG Television to enter into the Creative Licensing Agreement. The Company and AMG Television amended their complaint in the matter on May 14, 2014. The Company and AMG Television are seeking the rescission of the Creative Licensing Agreement, return of the Company stock issued and cash delivered in connection therewith and other and further damages suffered by the Company in an amount to be determined at the time of trial. As of December 31, 2014, The Company and AMG Television had reached settlements (the “Settlement”) with seven of the twenty-eight named defendants and the Company had canceled a net of 116,872 shares of common stock which have been tendered to the Company. In February 2015, the Company reached a settlement of the case with respect to the principal defendants, Roy A. Sciacca and Lisa Colletti whereby Sciacca and Colletti agreed to return an aggregate of 960,215 shares of previously issued stock to the Company and the Company agreed to issue 500,000 new shares of stock to them. In connection with the Settlement with Sciacca and Colletti, the Company has recovered a net of 497,555 shares issued in connection with the Creative Licensing transaction. In the aggregate, the Company has now recovered 614,424 of the 1.867 million shares issued in connection with the transaction. In addition, in connection with the Settlement, the Company recovered an additional 500,000 of the 800,000 shares of Company stock which had been previously issued in connection with payment for purported management services to be provided by certain of the defendants. The Company continues to believe that its position in the litigation is well-taken and supported by the facts and will continue to proceed with respect to the remaining defendants. The litigation is in its early stages and the Company cannot project whether it will achieve a successful result in connection with the remainder of the action or any other related actions. Discovery has yet to be commenced and no trial date has been set. If the matter is taken to conclusion, the Company could incur additional legal expenses in an amount which cannot be determined or estimated at this time. 

Other than the aforementioned matter, there are no other legal proceedings which are pending or have been threatened against the Company or any of its officers, directors or control persons of which management is aware.
