BUSINESS

Overview

We are an award winning feature film and television specials production company. We seek to finance, produce and distribute one or more television series and feature films to be licensed for exploitation in domestic and international theatrical, television, cable, home video and pay per view markets. Through our subsidiary High Five Entertainment, we specialize in the development and presentation of quality television programming including series, specials, pilots, live events and award shows. We seek to combine modern business strategy with old-fashioned industry experience by bringing together highly trained relative newcomers and entertainment industry stalwarts to create low risk, high profit and artistically acclaimed feature film and television projects.

Corporate History Summary

We were incorporated on February 20, 2009, in the State of Florida, under the name York Entertainment, Inc. On October 5, 2010, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to Brick Top Productions, Inc. Effective December 31, 2014, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to Carolco Pictures, Inc. For a complete history of our operations since we were incorporated in February 2009, please refer to our reports and documents filed with SEC at www.sec.gov.

Business Plan, Objectives and Recent Developments

Carolco Pictures creates feature films and television entertainment content.

As disclosed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 24, 2014, we entered into an Executive Services Agreement with Mario Kassar, the producer and executive producer of world-wide blockbuster films for over 30 years, to deliver future films. We did this after acquiring the right to use the then defunct name “Carolco” and our contemporaneous name change from Brick Top Productions, Inc. to Carolco Pictures, Inc. We did so because we believe in Mario Kassar's talent and penchant for making profitable feature length films.

As previously disclosed, we appointed Mario Kassar as our Chairman of the Board of Directors and entered into an Executive Services Agreement with him to deliver future films. Mr. Kassar has been a producer and executive producer of world-wide blockbuster feature films for over 30 years and is expected to build an entirely new library of memorable films for today’s generation under the Carolco Pictures brand

As disclosed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2014, we entered into an Executive Services Agreement with Harrison Smith and Felissa Rose, pursuant to which, in part, Mr. Smith and Ms. Rose will become co-heads of our Independent Genre Film Development with each to be billed separately. This agreement becomes effective when we allocate an equity investment of at least $1,000,000 for the film “Love Bites” no later than July 31, 2015.

We believe that the track record of our stellar management team speaks for itself. Their collective accomplishments and projects are substantial as they have been nominated for, and won, Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, Lumiere Awards and other such awards. As members of the Hollywood film community, they are considered business leaders and visionaries with experience and ambition relevant thereto.

The business side of our management team is disciplined in financial risk mitigation techniques. Aside from the commercialization of our management team's past successes, which cannot in themselves necessarily predict future success, we are experienced at balancing projects, budgets and growth to effectively manage risk in light of our business objectives.

We have unique access to Hollywood talent, scripts and third parties ripe for acquisition. The reputation of our management team in producing some of the most-well known, talked about and socially ingrained entertainment opens doors for us that are closed to others. In addition to our combined networks and contacts, our team is particularly adept at choosing the most commercially viable projects - that are also the most fun.

We represent the newest thinking in entertainment industry profitability. Utilizing an amalgam of business philosophies from its impressive management team, we will focus on growth and efficiency. Our development plan combines modern business strategy with old-fashioned industry experience. Our early acquisition, High Five Entertainment, has given us highly regarded, industry leading talent. We have matched that talent with new and existing property development. By targeting additional revenue positive entertainment projects and companies, we expect to achieve increased profitability and efficiency through scale.

After acquiring the rights to the name “Carolco”, we rebranded ourselves. We then brought on some of the biggest names in entertainment. We are now prepared to move forward with our next group of projects.

Film Production

The Filmmaking Process. The filmmaking process starts with an idea, from freelance writers or from existing literary or other works. Successful ideas are generally written up as a treatment (or story description) and then proceed to a screenplay, followed by the storyboarding process and then finally into the production process. Excluding the script and early development phase, the production process, from storyboarding to filming out the final image, for a full-length feature film can take approximately two to four years. We outsource individuals that are responsible for preparing and offering story-lines and ideas for the initial stages of development. These individuals, through creative development controls, are responsible for ensuring that ideas follow the best creative path within a desired budget and schedule. The complexity of each project, the background locations, the characters and all of the elements in a project create a very intricate and time-consuming process that differs from project-to-project. The four general phases for development of a full-length feature film include (1) the development phase which consists of story and visual development, (2) the pre-production phase which involves final refinement of the script and story, (3) the production phase which involves the actual filming and (4) the post-production phase where elements such as sound effects and the music/score are added.

Films in Production and Development

We are currently in negotiations to produce, in contract to produce or have acquired the rights to screenplays to produce several feature films for release in 2016 and 2017. In addition, we have a number of projects in development and negotiation that are expected to fill our release schedule in 2018 and beyond. The table below lists all of our potential films which may be released through the end of 2017.

*Release dates are tentative. Due to the release slate of competitive films and the uncertainties involved in the development and production of feature films, the release date can be significantly delayed or otherwise changed.

Audition. We plan to invest up to $4,000,000 of the proceeds from this offering to partially finance the production of a feature film entitled Audition, based on a screenplay written by Richard Gray, by acquiring a membership interest in Audition Productions, LLC (“Audition Productions”). Audition is a psychological horror-drama based on Ryu Murakami's best-selling novel. It tells the story of a widower who takes an offer to screen girls at a special audition, arranged for him by a friend to find him a new wife. The one he fancies is not who she appears to be.

The screenplay author and proposed director, Richard Gray, has directed four feature films, two feature-length documentaries for FOX, a comedy series pilot for The Movie Network, and an eight-part reality I drama series for FOX. Mr. Gray is a graduate of The Victorian College of the Arts School of Film and Television (AUS).

The producer and managing member of Audition Productions, Mario Kassar, is a major innovator in international motion picture productions, financing and distribution. Mr. Kassar's decades of experience as both producer and executive producer of worldwide blockbusters can be characterized like his movies as action-packed. Mr. Kassar has released 36 motion pictures, which have been nominated for 16 Academy Awards, is largely considered to be the godfather of international film distribution and marketing. Renowned for his talent for green-lighting projects that go on to become worldwide blockbusters, Kassar served as Executive Producer of such hits as the Rambo films, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Basic Instinct, Total Recall, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Cliffhanger and Stargate, among others. In total, his films as producer and executive producer have grossed more than $3 billion (today's value) in worldwide theatrical box office. Mario Kassar hand picked Audition and Richard Gray.

Bless Me Father. In June 2013, we acquired the rights to a screenplay written by Nicholas Turturro titled “Bless Me Father.”  Set in Manhattan’s West Village in the late 1970s to early 1980s, ‘Bless Me Father’, written by Emmy-nominated actor, Nicholas Turturro, is an urban drama and coming-of-age story of Nicky Battaglia, a 16-year-old kid growing up and navigating adolescence in his predominately Italian neighborhood. Following the mysterious and monumental loss of Buddy Battaglia, his elder brother, best friend and ultimate protector, Nicky must come to terms with himself, his flawed family marked by an overly controlling Mafiosi father, and his neighborhood on the cusp of change.

We intend to finance, produce and sell the distribution rights once we have the additional capital necessary to do so. We expect total project costs to be approximately $500,000. We may begin development as soon as we raise the additional necessary capital required to fund this project. This project would take approximately 6 months from acquisition of the rights to completion of post-production. Upon completion we would attempt to pre-sell the distribution rights abroad, at no additional cost to us in order to generate revenue and fully or partially cover the costs of the project. This phase of the project would take approximately 90 - 120 days to complete if successful.

The rights to Bless Me Father are owned by our subsidiary York Productions II. We manage and control York Productions II’s financing and day to day operations.

Love Bites. On December 15, 2014, we entered into an Executive Services Agreement with Harrison Smith and Felissa Rose (individually “Smith” and “Rose”) in connection with our plans to produce a movie titled “Love Bites” based on the best-selling book by famed horror actress Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Creepshow, Swamp Thing, Escape From New York). Smith and Rose expect to take the popular novel and rework it into a feature length film. Based on the popularity of the book, we expect Love Bites to be a commercial success.

Pursuant to the terms of the Executive Services Agreement, Smith and Rose will become co-heads of the our Independent Genre Film Development with each to be billed separately as Head of Independent Genre Film Development. The agreement becomes effective when we complete an equity investment of at least $1,000,000 for the film “Love Bites” no later than July 31, 2015. As compensation for their services, we agreed to issue to each of Smith and Rose 25,000 shares of our common stock when the agreement becomes effective.

Producer/Director Harrison Smith is well-known in the horror genre. He has worked with Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts and Academy Award winner Cloris Leachman as well as Billy Zane, Dee Wallace, Danielle Harris, Mischa Barton and many others. Through his production company, Class of '85, Smith has had remarkable success with independent genre films. Most recently, he produced and directed Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard which was acquired by Anchor Bay Entertainment and Red Sea Media. It is set for wide release in February 2015 and is expected to be a box office winner.

Legendary Actress / Producer Felissa Rose has been transforming the horror genre since she pioneered the role of Angela in the cult classic Sleepaway Camp series. After attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Felissa appeared in countless movies, turning more recently to production of film and television content. A talented fan favorite on both sides of the screen, Felissa brings incredible buzz to her projects.

Television Production

Through our subsidiary High Five Entertainment, an Emmy Award-winning entertainment production company based in Nashville, Tennessee, we specialize in the development and presentation of quality television programming including series, specials, pilots, live events and award shows. Founded in Los Angeles, California in 1983, High Five Entertainment’s unwavering commitment to excellence in entertainment production for more than 30 years continues to foster an impressive legacy of unsurpassed client satisfaction through collaborative creative development, meticulous planning and flawless delivery of world-class entertainment properties. High Five Entertainment generates revenue from advertising sales and distribution of content through media channels such as theatrical, home entertainment and television.

High Five Entertainment is synonymous with groundbreaking music television events (“The Women of Country” CBS, “This Is Garth Brooks” NBC, “At the Ryman” CMT and “The Road” Tribune Entertainment). Today, High Five Entertainment continues to be one of the premiere producers of quality music-television entertainment with ongoing episodes of Opry Live quality music-television entertainment. High Five Entertainment’s successful foray into the world of motorsports entertainment, included producing SPEED Channel’s (soon to be Fox Sports One) top-rated series ”Pass Time”, a riveting, fast-paced game show for gear heads. High Five Entertainment produced more than 150 episodes of the show from February 2008 to May 2012. Also for SPEED Channel, from February 2008 to April 2009, High Five Entertainment produced two seasons of the popular unscripted series "Drag Race High" pitting two area high school motor-shop classes in direct head to head competition building and racing their own dragsters. High Five Entertainment followed this with the series “Burnout – The Ultimate Drag Race Challenge” in Phoenix, AZ which aired on MTV2. High Five Entertainment also produced a PBS pledge special with Dr. Daniel Amen, iChange Your Brain, Change Your Life”, and the follow-up special “A Magnificent Mind At Any Age”.

High Five Entertainment plans to collaborate with television maverick, Rich Christensen, the creator, producer and host of several successful car racing television show franchises, to exclusively produce the television and internet show projects that he is presently developing. 

High Five Entertainment, produced television's first ever live musical performances weaved throughout a previously recorded network television premiere. On September 24, 2014, in connection with ABC's Nashville premieres on both the East Coast and West Coast, High Five Entertainment mixed fantasy and reality as it brought together the Nashville stars with actual country music legends, broadcasting two concerts directly from the Bluebird Café set. Receiving real life acclaim for the innovation and quality, High Five Entertainment continues its ground breaking work. The progressive mixture of live and taped footage comes immediately after High Five Entertainment produced the Americana Music Honors & Awards, another in a series of well received accomplishments.

High Five Entertainment again produced the Country Music Awards Red Carpet event for the CMT network, leading in to the 48th Annual CMA Awards. We believe High Five Entertainment will continue to produce its ground breaking and well received programming in the immediate future.

Other television productions include:

The television pilot titled “Nick The Doorman” which was completed by our subsidiary York Productions in 2010. Nick The Doorman is an urban dramatic comedy set in New York City. It is centered on the life experiences of a doorman at a historic and upscale Central Park South hotel. The doorman and his colorful cast of friends, through interactions with one another and the hotel’s upper class celebrity and high society guests, provide a unique perspective of everyday life in the big city and of the similarities and distinctions between the classes. The screenplay was written by Nicholas Turturro, who was involved in the development and production of the project, and is involved in its marketing. Mr. Turturro is an accomplished American film, television and on-stage character actor. He has garnered an Emmy nomination for a role played on the TV program NYPD Blue, and has acted in numerous feature films. Mr. Turturro plays the lead character in the pilot The Doorman which he produced.

We are actively interviewing persons to serve as a show runner for the pilot. A “show runner” is a person that is responsible for presenting a television pilot or idea for sale to major television networks through his or her professional industry contacts. Show runners are only paid if and when a show is sold to a network, at which point we would receive revenue. The show runner’s compensation would be a predetermined fee set in his or her agreement with the company. This fee will be anywhere from 3 to 5% of the total commitment that the network will pay for the project. This process can take anywhere from approximately 3 months to as long as 36 months from the date of project completion. Nicholas Turturro, the writer and producer of the pilot, has estimated that the project will be marketable for several years after its completion, at which point the market demand for the actors associated with the project may become stale. We intend to market the project over this time period. We are also considering expanding the pilot as a full length feature film. We have a letter of intent from a distributor that is interested in distributing this pilot as a full length feature film. This would require us to shoot an additional 90 minutes of footage to combine with the existing 90 minutes. Mr. Turturro believes this will increase the projects marketability and would cost an additional $100,000.

We continue to actively seek additional opportunities to finance television and film projects. Ultimately, our goal is to pursue the production of several feature films utilizing prominent actors, beyond those described above.  The costs of such projects typically range from approximately $200,000 to as much as $20,000,000 and can take as little as 3 months to as long as 1 year to complete. Major television and film projects often provide the opportunity to pre-sell exclusive distribution rights to overseas territories, thereby hedging part of the project cost.  At any given time there are thousands of scripts for screenplays that are circulating throughout the motion picture industry, all of which are seeking financing, production and/ or distribution. Overseas territories will pay for the exclusive rights to distribute a particular film. These rights can be pre-sold to hedge the cost of the film. There is no determining body that sets the pricing. There is a constantly changing guideline that is determined by an actor’s marketability and what his or her films have recently commanded for distribution rights. This merely represents a set of guidelines that is a starting point for negotiations. Initially this will be our primary method of distribution. In the event we are able to pre-sell international distribution rights for a project we will then look to secure domestic distribution of the project. Our goal is to raise capital through an equity offering which will enable us to acquire the rights to finance, produce and contract distribution of these projects. The costs will vary per project, determined by the level of talent, location and scope of the production. The pre-sale of distribution rights is applicable only to full length feature film projects and does not apply to television projects such as The Doorman.

We have explored and negotiated an agreement for the construction of a platform necessary to disseminate content (a series of 5-10 minute shorts) via a smart phone application.  We already have over 90 minutes of completed footage from filming “Nick The Doorman”.  The estimated cost is approximately $50,000. The first step is analysis and design which will cost $6,000 and take approximately 2 weeks. The development (coding) will cost $30,000 and take approximately 2 months to complete. The quality control will cost $10,000 and take approximately 1 week. The final step is deployment which will cost $4,000 and will be completed in three days. We will require additional capital to complete this project. Our goal is to advertise our link through various social networking sites which will drive traffic to our site which in turn will create a desirable advertising venue. This part of the project will not require additional capital and will take approximately 3 to 5 months. We anticipate this entire process to take approximately 6 to 8 months from start to completion at which time we would expect it to begin generating revenue.

In September, 2014 we acquired intellectual property rights in relation to the trademarked Carolco Pictures, a name synonymous with high quality blockbuster films from the Terminator series, Rambo series and Basic Instinct to Total Recall and the Doors, amongst many others, as described herein. The Company believes it will successfully leverage the name that brought the public such noteworthy films and capitalize on this acquisition. We are actively seeking to acquire the rights to the concomitant service mark and believe we will do so within the next 90-120 days.

On December 24, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Martin Fischer (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company acquired from Mr. Fischer seventy-five (75%) percent of the issued and outstanding stock (the “Shares”) of S&G Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation doing business as High Five Entertainment (“High Five”), making High Five a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company paid Mr. Fischer Two Hundred Ten Thousand ($210,000) Dollars at closing, made a capital contribution to High Five in the amount of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars at closing, and agreed to make additional capital contributions of Three Hundred Sixty Five Thousand ($365,000) Dollars to High Five over the first nine (9) months of 2014, to fund business operations. In the event the Company fails to make the required capital contributions to High Five, the Company will be required to return certain of the Shares to Mr. Fischer.

Income Taxes. The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  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 Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

Capitalized Pilot Costs - Film Property and Screenplay Rights. The Company capitalizes costs it incurs to buy film or transcripts that will later be marketed or be used in the production of films according to ASC 926, Entertainment – Films. The Company will begin to amortize capitalized film cost when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from the film.

Non-Controlling Interest. The Company follows paragraph 810-10-65-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report the non-controlling interest in York Productions, LLC, York Productions II, LLC, and S&G Holdings, Inc., its majority owned subsidiary in the consolidated statements of balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity.  Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, York Productions, LLC and S&G Holdings, Inc.  Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company.” This election will permit us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that will have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies.   Upon the issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt said accounting standard.  We may take advantage of the extended transition period until the first to occur of the date we (i) are no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period.  Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.  

For additional discussion regarding the JOBS Act and the exemptions available to “emerging growth companies” thereunder, please refer to the risk factor entitled “We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if we will be able to maintain such status or if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors” contained in the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.”

On October 1, 2011, Mr. Bafer agreed to waive future base salary under his employment agreement, until further notice, in an effort to reduce our operating expenses.  Prior to that, we did not have sufficient cash flows to make the required payments under the agreement and therefore accrued all unpaid salary until such time we generate revenues from operations or raise additional capital through one or more financing transactions.

As part of the Company’s acquisition of S&G Holdings, Inc. (doing business as High Five Entertainment), the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Martin Fischer, pursuant to which Mr. Fischer will serve as High Five’s president for an initial term of five years with an initial base salary of $144,000.  He will also be entitled to an annual bonus of up to $100,000 and a monthly car allowance of $500.  In addition, the Company awarded Mr. Fischer an option to purchase 1,491,351 shares of common stock, these options vest throughout 2014.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard, we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions, and, in the short term, will seek to raise additional capital in such manners to fund our operations.  We do not currently have any third party financing available in the form of loans, advances, or commitments.  Our officers and shareholders have not made any written or oral agreement to provide us additional financing.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise capital on terms and conditions that are deemed acceptable to us.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014.

Report of Management on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, was not effective, primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has few employees, only one of whom has a background in accounting, and lacks segregation of duties.

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. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls 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 the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls 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, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Index to the Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Carolco Pictures Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carolco Pictures Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2014, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the year then ended which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
