For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND
Boston Omaha Corporation (formerly known as REO Plus, Inc.) (“the Company”) was organized on August 11, 2009 for the purpose of investing in real estate. The Company’s operations include its ownership of multiple billboards in Florida, Georgia and Alabama and a 40% interest in Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”). Previously, the Company realized revenues from consulting services which were attributable to one client that was related to a former officer and director of the Company.
On March 18, 2015, the Company filed Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing its conversion from a Texas corporation to a Delaware corporation.
The Company completed an acquisition of outdoor advertising assets and entered the outdoor advertising business on June 19, 2015. On July 23, 2015 and August 31, 2015, the Company completed two additional acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Boston Omaha Corporation and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,218,458 since its inception and has not yet produced earnings from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of advertising agency commissions, sales discounts, and allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on its knowledge of its customers and historical experience of bad debts. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, it records a specific allowance to reduce the amounts recorded to what it believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad debt based upon historical experience of bad debts as a percentage of revenue, adjusted for relative improvement or deterioration in its agings and changes in current economic conditions. As of September 30, 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was zero.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three years to fifteen years as follows:
Structures
|
15 years
|
Digital displays and electrical
|
3 to 10 years
|
Static and tri-vision displays
|
7 to 15 years
|
Maintenance and repair costs are charged against income as incurred. Significant improvements or betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated life of the asset.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded at cost and is tested annually for impairment. Management monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate goodwill may not be recoverable. Whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded. The Company recorded no impairment of goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Purchased Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets
The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives, which range between two years and fifteen years as follows:
Customer relationships
|
2 years
|
Permits, Licenses, Lease Operating
|
|
Agreements, and Lease Acquisition
|
10 to 15 years
|
Noncompetition and Non-solicitation Agreements
|
2 to 5 years
|
Intangible assets are periodically reviewed for impairment. Management monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate long-lived assets, including intangible assets, may not be recoverable. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded. The Company recorded no impairment on its long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Land Leases
Most of the advertising structures are located on leased land. Land leases related to the structures are typically paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months. The lease contracts include those with fixed payments and those with escalating payments. Some of the lease contracts contain a base rent payment plus an additional amount up to a particular percentage of revenue. Prepaid land leases are recorded as assets and expensed ratably over the related term and rent payments in arrears are recorded as an accrued liability.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from consulting services when earned, according to the accrual basis of accounting.
The Company generates revenue from outdoor advertising through the leasing of billboards. The terms of the operating leases range from less than one month to three years and are generally billed monthly. Revenue for advertising space rental is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Advertising revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for operations. Payments received in advance of being earned are recorded as deferred income.
Advertising agency commissions for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $3,218 and $0, respectively.

During January 2015 the Company borrowed $19,000 from the controlling stockholder. On February 6, the controlling stockholder made a $1,208 capital contribution to the Company.
On February 13, 2015, the controlling stockholder sold his entire interest in the Company to a limited liability company and a limited partnership. In connection with the sale, the controlling stockholder restructured the notes payable in the principal amount of $509,960 and accrued interest of $23,758 into three separate promissory notes totaling $533,718.
Two of the notes payable, totaling $398,224 were sold by the former controlling stockholder to the two new stockholders. The third note is payable to the former controlling stockholder. The restructure of the notes payable was accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt. There was no gain or loss on extinguishment since the fair value of the restructured notes was equivalent to the fair value of the notes prior to restructure. (See Note 6.)
On February 13, 2015, the former controlling stockholder resigned his positions of Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company.

NOTE 5. NOTES PAYABLE, STOCKHOLDERS (Continued)
As of February 13, 2015, the two new stockholders owned an equal interest in 95% of the Company’s common stock.
On April 10, 2015, the Company issued notes payable to the two majority stockholders of $100,000 each, bearing interest at 5% per annum and due March 31, 2016. The notes were payable in cash or any or all of the promissory notes could be converted to shares of common stock. The conversion could not occur until the Company raised $1,000,000 in gross proceeds from one or a series of equity offerings. The conversion price was to be equal to 80% of the price paid by investors in the financing for identical securities. On June 19, 2015, the stockholders converted their notes payable, together with accrued interest of $932 each, into 12,616 shares of Class A common stock and 1,262 warrants each. The warrants are for the purchase of Class A common stock at a price of $8 per share, are exercisable at any time and expire on June 18, 2025.
On June 19, 2015, the two stockholders who were due an aggregate of $298,224 in notes payable extinguished the notes, together with accrued interest of $5,066, for an aggregate of 30,328 shares of Class A common stock and 3,032 warrants for the purchase of Class A common stock at a price of $10 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time and expire on June 18, 2025. The conversion of the notes payable was accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt. There was no gain or loss on the extinguishment since the fair value of the stock issued was equivalent to the fair value of the notes payable prior to conversion.
Management has evaluated the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and concluded that the conversion option meets the criteria for classification in stockholders’ equity. Therefore, derivative accounting is not applicable for the conversion option.
Management evaluated the conversion feature for whether it was beneficial as described in ASC Topic 470-30 and concluded it was not beneficial because the conversion price at commitment date was equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock.
NOTE 6. NOTE PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY
At September 30, 2015, note payable, related party consists of a note payable to the former controlling stockholder in the principal amount of $103,494. The note bears interest at 5.76% per annum, is due February 12, 2016, and is secured by the Company’s 40% interest in Ananda. The Company may elect to fully satisfy the outstanding principal and accrued interest by transferring the Company’s 40% interest in Ananda to the former controlling stockholder. The former controlling stockholder may also elect to accept the transfer of the Company’s 40% interest in Ananda in full satisfaction of the unpaid principal and accrued interest.
The note was restructured on February 13, 2015 in the original principal amount of $135,494. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, Ananda made a distribution to its members (See Note 4.) The Company’s share of the distribution was $32,000 and was distributed directly to the former controlling stockholder as a principal payment on the note.

NOTE 7. CAPITAL STOCK
On March 16, 2015, the Company converted its charter from Texas to Delaware. In connection with its conversion the Company changed its authorized shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares.
On the same date, the Company changed its authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares.
During April 2015, the former controlling stockholder made a $3,955 capital contribution to the Company in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement for the sale of his controlling interest in the Company.
On June 17, 2015 the Company effected a 7:1 reverse split. On the same day, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 12,000,000 shares of Class A common stock from the 30,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, reducing common stock authorized to 18,000,000 shares. Each share of Class A common stock is identical to the Company’s common stock in liquidation, dividend and similar rights. Additionally, each share of Class A common stock has 10 votes for each share held, while the Company’s common stock has one vote per share. The holders of record of the Class A common stock are entitled to elect two directors to the Company’s board of directors. Class A and Common shares are combined for purposes of computing earnings per share.
The financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.
On June 19, 2015, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $10 per share to each of its majority stockholders, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000,000. In connection with the stock issue, the Company issued 50,000 warrants to each of its majority stockholders to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $10 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time and expire on June 18, 2025.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company has issued 103,032 warrants for the purchase of Class A common stock at a price of $10 per share and 2,524 warrants for the purchase of Class A common stock at a price of $8 per share. None of the warrants have been exercised, forfeited, or have expired.
On July 22, 2015, the controlling stockholders, Boulderado Partners, LLC (“Boulderado”) and Magnolia Capital Fund, LP (“Magnolia”) purchased common stock at $10 per share. Boulderado purchased 250,000 shares and Magnolia purchased 1,200,000 shares resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $14,500,000. The proceeds were used to fund Link Media Florida, LLC (“LMF”) the Company’s new subsidiary, in its purchase of outdoor advertising assets. Each holder of common stock will be eligible to participate in an offering of common stock and Class A common stock, under a future rights offering.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
General
Boston Omaha Corporation was originally incorporated as REO Plus, Inc. on August 10, 2009 under the laws of the State of Texas. On March 18, 2015, we reincorporated as a Delaware corporation and changed our name to Boston Omaha Corporation. Our principal address is 292 Newbury Street, Suite 333, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 and our telephone number is 857-256-0079.
We were formed by a Delaware corporation then known as “Akashic Ventures, Inc.” for purposes of acquiring financially attractive real estate properties. Richard J. Church acquired control of Akashic on May 18, 2008. Until early 2010, Richard Church was a 40% owner of Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”), a Texas limited liability company that owns a particular real estate property near and west of downtown Houston, Texas. This 40% ownership is comprised of 400 units of limited liability company member interest. In early 2010, Mr. Church transferred his 40% ownership in Ananda to us. In exchange, we issued to Mr. Church shares of our common stock as part of the purchase price for the Ananda interest. As a result of the Ananda transfer, we became the largest owner of Ananda by a significant margin.
On February 13, 2015, Mr. Church, entered into an agreement with each of Boulderado Partners, LLC (“Boulderado”) and Magnolia Capital Fund, LP (“Magnolia”) whereby Mr. Church sold to each of Boulderado and Magnolia 126,825 shares of our common stock owned by Mr. Church at a purchase price of $.007 per share (these share and per share prices reflect a subsequent 1:7 reverse stock split). These constituted all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Church, representing approximately 95% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Mr. Church sold to each of Boulderado and Magnolia a 50% interest in a certain promissory note issued by us to Mr. Church in the principal amount of $298,224.45. Mr. Church also conveyed to each of Boulderado and Magnolia a 50% interest in another promissory note issued by us to Mr. Church in the principal amount of $100,000. Finally, Mr. Church retained a non-recourse promissory note issued by Ananda Holding, LLC (“Holding”), our new wholly-owned subsidiary, in the principal amount of $135,494.14 (the “Holding Note”). These debt instruments, which in their principal amounts total $533,718.59, replaced all prior debt instruments issued by us to Mr. Church.
As part of the overall transaction, we transferred to Holding all of our equity interests in Ananda Investments, LLC. Holding has pledged to Mr. Church our interest in Ananda Investments as security for repayment of the sums due under the Holding Note. Under the terms of the Holding Note, Holding may transfer our entire interest in Ananda Investments to Mr. Church in exchange for the Holding Note and Mr. Church may exchange the Holding Note for our entire interest in Ananda Investments. Upon any exchange of our interest in Ananda Investments, the Holding Note will be deemed paid in full. Until such time as the exchange has taken place, Holding has granted to Mr. Church a limited proxy to vote on behalf of Holding on certain matters related to our membership interest in Ananda Investments, with certain major transactions requiring our prior approval, as the sole member of Holding.
26
On February 19, 2015, Mr. Church appointed Alex B. Rozek, a principal of Boulderado Group, LLC, as our sole Director and President. On March 18, 2015, Mr. Rozek elected Adam K. Peterson, a principal of Magnolia Capital Fund, L.P. as an additional Director and as our Executive Vice President. Mr. Rozek and Mr. Peterson serve as Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company.
On March 18, 2015, in order to change our state of incorporation to Delaware, we converted from a Texas corporation to a Delaware corporation. This action was taken by means of an action by consent of stockholders owning approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Notice of the conversion, and of the rights of existing stockholders to certain appraisal rights, were mailed by our transfer agent to all stockholders of record of our common stock as required by the laws of the State of Texas. No stockholder sought to exercise any appraisal rights. As part of the reincorporation, our name was changed to “Boston Omaha Corporation.” Our Certificate of Incorporation reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 30,000,000 shares and reduced the number of “blank check” preferred shares available for future designation from 10,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares. As part of our conversion to a Delaware corporation, we also adopted new bylaws.
On June 17, 2015, we amended and restated our Certificate of Incorporation. This action was taken by means of an action by consent of stockholders owning approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As part of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we:
* Effected a 1:7 reverse stock split effective as of June 17, 2015. This reverse stock split does not impact the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subsequently issued on June 19, 2015.
* Created 12,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock is identical to the Common Stock in liquidation, dividend and similar rights. The only difference is that each Class A Common Stock has 10 votes for each share held, while the Common Stock has a single vote per share and certain actions cannot be taken without the approval of the holders of the Class A Common Stock.
On June 19, 2015, and in connection with the acquisition of certain outdoor billboard assets of Bell Media, LLC, we entered into subscription agreements with each of Boulderado and Magnolia, whereby each of Boulderado and Magnolia purchased 500,000 shares of our newly established Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $10,000,000. Each of Boulderado and Magnolia also extinguished all principal and interest due under two promissory notes, each in the principal amount of $149,112.22, assigned to us on February 13, 2015 from Richard Church, the original holder of the notes. As a result of this note extinguishment, each of Boulderado and Magnolia received 15,164 additional shares of Class A Common Stock. At the same time, Boulderado and Magnolia also converted all sums due under the $100,000 convertible promissory notes we issued to each of them on April 10, 2015, such that each of Boulderado and Magnolia received 12,616 shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $8.00 per share. In addition, each of Boulderado and Magnolia received warrants to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share for each 10 shares of Class A Common Stock purchased, resulting in each of Boulderado and Magnolia receiving warrants to purchase 52,778 shares of Class A Common Stock. These warrants are exercisable at any time on or before June 18, 2025. Of these warrants, 51,516 are exercisable at $10.00 per share and 1,262 are exercisable at $8.00 per share.
On July 22, 2015, we entered into subscription agreements with each of Boulderado and Magnolia whereby Boulderado purchased 250,000 shares of our Common Stock and Magnolia purchased 1,200,000 shares of our Common Stock, each at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $14,500,000.
On July 23, 2015, Link Media Florida, LLC, which is owned by Link Media Holdings, LLC, our subsidiary, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Fair Outdoor, LLC and the equityholders of Fair Outdoor, LLC by which Link Media Florida, LLC acquired one billboard, rights to develop a second billboard, an option to purchase a third billboard and related assets from Fair Outdoor, LLC. The billboards and related assets are located in Tampa Florida on property owned by the Florida State Fairground Authority. The purchase price for the acquired assets was $1,945,060.85 paid at closing. Proceeds from the sale of Class A Common Stock were used to acquire these assets from Fair Outdoor, LLC.
27
On August 31, 2015, Link Media Alabama, LLC, which is owned by Link Media Holdings, LLC, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with I-85 Advertising, LLC, the members of I-85 Advertising, LLC and Canton Partners (an affiliate of I-85 Advertising, LLC), by which Link Media Alabama, LLC acquired five billboards, rights to certain easements, and related assets from I-85 Advertising, LLC. The billboards and related assets are located along Interstate 85 in Georgia. The purchase price for the acquired assets was $1,294,900 paid at closing.
On October 14, 2015, we purchased an 8.33% interest in a Florida limited liability company whose principal business is to manage the acquisition, holding, operation, management, financing and sale of residential real estate. The purchase price of the investment was $377,732.
On October 19, 2015, we amended our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the authorized number of shares of our Class A Common Stock from 12,000,000 to 1,300,000, which in turn increased the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock not designated as Class A Common Stock from 18,000,000 to 28,700,000.
Each holder of our Common Stock will be eligible to participate in a rights offering of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock, which we anticipate will commence later this year or early in 2016. Under the terms of the rights offering, each of our stockholders may participate based on his, her or its proportionate ownership of Common Stock and will have at least 35 days from the commencement date of the rights offering to elect to subscribe to purchase each of the Class A Common Stock and the Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share of Common Stock. Each stockholder electing to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock will also receive a warrant to purchase a share of Class A Common Stock for each 10 shares of Class A Common Stock purchased. Boulderado and Magnolia, which own approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, will not participate further in the rights offering.
We became a publicly held corporation in November 2012 when Akashic distributed to certain of its shareholders a total of 930,493 shares of Company common stock held by it. We have not yet registered as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but intend to do so in the near future.
Plan of Operation
Prior to when current management took over in February 2015, we sought to seek well-located commercial properties in need of capital infusion, or total redevelopment, as properties requiring more extensive real estate skills and effort may allow for a greater appreciation on invested capital. The only real property interest we directly acquired has been the interest in Ananda. For a description of this sole property interest, see the section captioned “Item 2. Properties” in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 6, 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Since present management took over in February 2015, the Company has been recapitalized with $24,500,000 of additional capital provided by Boulderado and Magnolia, and has also converted debt principal and accrued interest in the amount of $505,154 into Class A Common Stock and warrants. To date, the Company has acquired outdoor billboard assets in Alabama, Florida and Georgia and expects to continue to seek additional acquisitions in billboard advertising. We believe the billboard business offers the potential to provide a durable and growing cash flow stream over time. In addition, we believe multiple opportunities could exist in time for the industry at large including but not limited to: supply limitations, demand growth, opportunity to convert static billboard faces to digital applications when the economics are favorable, and a growing use of billboard advertising by customers who previously ignored or underutilized the medium due to the general inflexibility of static board contracts.
We source acquisitions both internally via phone calls or mailings and also by receipt of target acquisition opportunities from a number of brokers and other professionals.
In addition to acquiring outdoor billboards, we are also seeking opportunities to acquire other businesses or a significant interest in existing businesses. We look to acquire businesses in their entirety that have consistently demonstrated earnings power over time, with attractive pretax historical returns on tangible equity capital, while utilizing minimal to no debt, and that are available at a reasonable price However, we may consider minority positions and stock issuance when the economics are favorable. In certain circumstances, we may enter lines of business directly when the opportunities and economics of doing so are favorable in comparison to acquisitions.
28
Subsequent to September 30, 2015, we made a minority stake investment in a company engaged in the development and financing of residential real estate. In addition, on September 11, 2015 we formed General Indemnity Group, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, which we intend to use to acquire and underwrite potential future insurance operations.
Results of Operations - General
We were incorporated on August 10, 2009 for purposes of acquiring financially attractive real estate properties. We made our first property acquisition in early January 2010. This acquisition consisted of a 40% ownership interest in Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”), a Texas limited liability company that owns a particular real estate property near and west of downtown Houston, Texas. From April 2015 through July 2015, Boulderado and Magnolia purchased our Class A Common Stock, Class A Common Stock Warrants and Common Stock in exchange for $24,500,000 and converted an additional $505,154 of debt into Class A Common Stock and Class A Common Stock Warrants.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, was signed into law on April 5, 2012. As permitted under Section 102(b)(1) of this Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Results of Operations – Boston Omaha Corporation
Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2014
Revenues. During the third quarter of 2015, we had net revenues from billboard rentals of $349,161. We had no net revenues from consulting services or any other sources. We no longer provide these real estate consulting services as we focus on outdoor billboard advertising as our primary source of revenues. We may in the future expand our business activities to include other service based businesses.
Expenses. During the third quarter of 2015, we had expenses in the amount of $799,161, primarily from, the acquisition of the three outdoor billboard businesses we acquired. Of this amount, $335,322 was associated with legal, audit, accounting and other expenses associated with these acquisitions and $189,331 was associated with depreciation and amortization expenses. In contrast, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, we had limited expenses of $14,892 in professional fees.
Net Loss from Operations. Because of the costs associated with these acquisitions, we had a net loss from operations in the amount of $450,000 during the third quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss from operations in the amount of $3,309 during the third quarter of 2014.
Other Income (Expense). During the third quarter of 2015, we had equity in income of $4,151 of our unconsolidated affiliate, Ananda. This equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate represents an $8,777 increase from the equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate in the amount of $4,626 during the third quarter of 2014 as Ananda’s financial performance improved as a result of increased rental income. During the third quarter of 2015, we had interest expense in the amount of $3,442, a decrease from interest expense in the amount of $7,118 in the third quarter of 2014, due to the lower principal debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2015. All of this interest expense was due to loans issued to Boulderado and Magnolia (either from loans previously issued by the Company to Richard Church and subsequently assigned by Mr. Church to Boulderado and Magnolia or from, loans issued by Boulderado and Magnolia to the Company in April 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000), and a prior loan issued by the Company to Richard Church. As previously mentioned, in June 2015, we converted all $200,000 of outstanding loans issued in April 2015 and extinguished $298,000 of prior outstanding loans transferred from Mr. Church to Boulderado and Magnolia, as well as accrued interest on these loans, into Class A Common Stock and Common Stock warrants, thereby reducing the total principal debt outstanding at the end of the second quarter to $235,494.
29
Net Loss. In view of revenues and an increase in expenses, we had a net loss of $449,291 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a loss of $15,053 during the third quarter of 2014, or a per-share loss of $0.18 during the third quarter of 2015, compared to a per-share loss of $0.06 during the third quarter of 2014.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Revenues. During the first nine months of 2015, we had revenues in the amount of $349,161 from the sale of billboard rentals, as compared to no revenues from the sale of billboard services during the first nine months of 2014. Consulting services during the first nine months of 2015 was $9,700, as compared to $23,549 of consulting services during the first nine months of 2014. We no longer provide these real estate consulting services.
Expenses. During the nine months of 2015, we had expenses in the amount of $1,047,760, as compared to expenses of $53,978 for the first nine months of 2014. These expenses in total represent an increase of $993,782, which increase is derived primarily from an increase of $493,889 in professional fees in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the cost of professional fees during the first nine months of 2014. The increased professional fees were associated with work on several acquisitions and potential acquisitions we conducted in the first nine months of 2015, and certain corporate financing and reorganization activities.
Net Loss from Operations. We had a net loss from operations in the amount of $688,899 during the first nine months of 2015, compared to a net loss from operations in the amount of $30,429 during the first nine months of 2014. Much of this loss is attributable to the increase in professional fees associated with work on several acquisitions and potential acquisitions we conducted in the first nine months of 2015. The second largest expense leading to the loss from operations was due to non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the three acquisitions completed in 2015.
Other Income (Expense). During the first nine months of 2015, we had equity in income of its unconsolidated affiliate, Ananda, in the amount of $12,565. This equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate represents an increase of $27,847 from the equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate in the amount of $15,282 during the first nine months of 2014 as Ananda’s financial performance increased correspondingly from the earlier period to the latter. During the first nine months of 2015, we had interest expense in the amount of $19,745. All of this interest was due to prior loans issued from Mr. Church and Akashic for the seller-financing and loans for operating expenses, certain of which loans were acquired by Boulderado and Magnolia, as well as an additional loan of $100,000 from each of Boulderado and Magnolia issued in April 2015, which was subsequently converted on June 19, 2015 into Class A Common Stock and Class A Warrants. In contrast, we incurred $20,878 of interest in the first nine months of 2014. This represents a slight decrease of $1,133 in interest incurred in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014. As a significant portion of the loans were converted to equity during the second quarter of 2015, our interest expense dropped significantly in the third quarter.
Net loss. In view of an increase in expenses in the first nine months of 2015 (offset by revenues from billboard rentals and to a limited extent by equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate), we had a net loss in the amount of $696,079 during the first nine months of 2015, or a per-share loss of $0.67, compared to a net loss in the amount of $66,589 during the first nine months of 2014, or a per-share loss of $0.25.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2014
Revenues. During the third quarter of 2015, Ananda had revenues in the amount of $28,800. These revenues represent an increase of $21,000, compared to revenues of $7,800 (net of $3,900 in commission expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in revenues was a direct result of additional leasing activities.
30
Expenses. During the third quarter of 2015, Ananda had expenses in the amount of $13,277. These expenses were relatively constant with expenses in the amount of $13,910 during the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in repairs and maintenance represents the largest portion of the decrease in expenses.
Net Income from Operations. In view of the significant increase in revenues and a small decrease in expenses, Ananda had net income from operations in the amount of $15,523 during the third quarter of 2015, compared to net loss from operations in the amount of $6,110 during the third quarter of 2014.
Other Income (Expense). During the third quarter of 2015, Ananda had other expenses, primarily interest expense, in the amount of $5,147. This other expense represents a slight decrease of other expense, primarily interest expense, in the amount of $5,455 during the third quarter of 2014.
Net Income. In view of the significant increase in revenues and a small decrease in expenses, Ananda had net income in the amount of $10,376 during the third quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss in the amount of $11,565 during the third quarter of 2014.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Revenues. During the first nine months of 2015, Ananda had revenues in the amount of $86,400. These revenues represent an increase of $65,400 from revenues in the amount of $21,000 (net of commissions) during the first nine months of 2014, reflecting increased leasing activity.
Expenses. During the first nine months of 2015, Ananda had expenses in the amount of $39,675. These expenses represent a decrease of $3,102 from expenses in the amount of $42,777 during the first nine months of 2014. The decrease in repairs and maintenance represents the largest portion of the decrease in expenses, offset to a lesser extent by increases in insurance and property taxes.
Net Income from Operations. In view of the significant increase in revenues and a small decrease in expenses, Ananda had net income from operations in the amount of $46,725 during the first nine months of 2015, compared to a net loss from operations in the amount of $21,777 during the first nine months of 2014.
Other Income (Expense). During the first nine months of 2015, Ananda had other expenses in the amount of $15,313 which consists almost entirely of interest expense, offset by nominal interest income. This other expense represents a decrease from other expense in the amount of $16,428 during the first nine months of 2014.
Net Income. In view of the significant increase in revenues and a small decrease in expenses, Ananda had net income in the amount of $31,412 during the first nine months of 2015, compared to a net loss in the amount of $38,205 during the first nine months of 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Requirements
Currently, we own a real estate interest through Ananda, as well as billboards acquired from Bell Media, LLC, Fair Outdoors, LLC and I-85 Advertising, LLC and the right to build two additional billboards under two operating agreements acquired from Fair Outdoor, LLC. Our strategy is to continue to acquire other billboard locations as well as acquire other businesses which are expected to generate positive cash flows. We currently expect to finance any future acquisition with cash, and seller or third party financing. In the future, we may be able to satisfy a portion of the purchase price for a property with the Company’s equity securities. In July, Boulderado and Magnolia purchased our common stock raising gross proceeds of $14,500,000. As a result, we have adequate resources to complete a certain limited number of acquisitions with these proceeds. We will need to procure cash to fund future acquisitions once these funds are exhausted. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we acquired an equity stake in a residential development company, for a total investment of $377,732.
31
We continue to explore both the types and scope of acquisitions and business lines that we wish to pursue. The amount of capital that we will need will depend on the scope of the acquisitions and business lines that we ultimately decide to pursue, which is uncertain at this time. However, for us to acquire any significant additional businesses, we would be required to undertake certain financing activities once we exhaust the funding raised in July 2015. The sources for financing would initially most likely be institutional investors or accredited individuals. We currently do not have any binding commitments for additional financing. We cannot assure anyone that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we do not obtain additional financing, it will limit the acquisitions we can complete. We cannot assure anyone that we will be successful in obtaining necessary capital in our acquisition activities or that any acquisition will achieve or maintain profitability.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,218,458 since inception and have not yet produced earnings from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that we cannot continue as a going concern. Management has in July 2015 raised an additional $14,500,000 through the issuance of stock through a private purchase of common stock. We also anticipate profitability from our recently acquired billboard operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability and obtain suitable and adequate financing. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful.
Seasonal Effects and Effects of Inflation
Management believes that its business interest in real estate and outdoor billboard advertising are not subject to significant seasonal variations. Management further believes that the service nature of the businesses we operate may not be as impacted by inflation as more capital intensive businesses, since materials are not anticipated to be a significant component of our costs, and we currently possess businesses with relatively minimal capital expenditure needs. However, management also believes inflation can affect all businesses. Our labor, electricity usage, insurance, and other costs may be subject to inflationary pressures. It should also be understood that we own digital billboards within our billboard assets, which must be replaced over time to maintain revenue levels and remain competitive, therefore depreciating faster than static billboards. Historically, the cost of digital billboard faces has declined as the technology advanced, thus proving somewhat deflationary. There is no guarantee that this will continue though, and the cost of digital billboard faces may increase. In addition, significant decreases in general economic conditions may reduce outdoor advertising rates and adversely impact the real estate market. Currently, we do not anticipate raising significant debt financing; therefore, we do not anticipate that operating results will be adversely affected by increased interest rates. In the future though, we may seek to raise additional capital through debt or convertible debt financings, and in such an event, increased interest rates may increase the cost of any future borrowing.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Following our acquisition of billboard assets, we have outsourced to a third party accounting service many accounting duties for Link Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries relating to our operation of this business unit, allowing for an appropriate segregation of duties. We have not yet completed segregating accounting duties for Boston Omaha Corporation. Other than for this exception, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
