Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results and require managements most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Companys significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below.
Basis of presentation- Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The Companys condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
8
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2015, and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the statement of shareholders equity (deficiency) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Companys Form 10-K/A which was filed on April 3, 2015.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
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(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Companys critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:
(i) Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business;
(ii) Fair value of long-lived assets: Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
(iii) Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.
(iv) Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share warrants and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Companys common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value share options and similar instruments.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation
The Company applies the guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810Consolidation to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to this guidance, with certain exceptions, all majority-owned or all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest shall be consolidated. Pursuant to ASC 810, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.
The Companys consolidated subsidiaries are as follows:
Name of consolidated subsidiary or entity | State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization | Date of incorporation or formation (date of acquisition, if applicable) | Attributable interest |
York Productions, LLC | The State of Florida | October 22, 2008 (June 1, 2010) | 60% |
York Productions II, LLC | The State of Florida | June 13, 2013 | 60% |
S&G Holdings, Inc. | The State of Tennessee | January 4, 2005 (December 24, 2013) | 75% |
The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, S&G and York as of the reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s) then ended.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Combinations
The Company applies ASC 805Business Combinations for transactions that represent business combinations to be accounted for under the acquisition method. Pursuant to ASC 805 in order for a transaction or other event to be considered as a business combination it is required that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Upon determination of transactions representing business combinations the Company then (i) identifies the accounting acquirer; (ii) identifies and estimates the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, separately from goodwill; (iii) estimates the business enterprise value of the acquired entities; (iv) allocates the purchase price of acquired entities to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the liabilities assumed and the purchase price over the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and the excess of the assets acquired over the liabilities assumed and the purchase price was recorded as a gain from bargain purchase.
Inherent Risk in the Estimates
Management makes estimates of fair values based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from revenues, customer relationships, key management and market positions, assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade names will continue to be used in the Companys combined portfolio of products and/or services, and discount rates used to establish fair value. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820Fair Value Measurements establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of financial instruments and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined are as follows:
Level 1 |
| Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 |
| Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 |
| Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
10
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, deposit for project, debt issuance cost, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued interest, deferred revenues and accrued payroll, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arms-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arms-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted ASC 360Property, Plant and Equipment for its long-lived assets. The Companys long-lived assets, which include computer equipment and goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.
The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
Management will periodically review the recoverability of the capitalized movie pilot costs. Management takes into consideration various information. If it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned, or its carrying value impaired, a provision will be made for any expected loss on the project or property.
The impairment charges, if any, is included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives of three (3) to five (5) years. Upon sale or retirement of computer equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Capitalized Movie 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 926Entertainment Films. The Company will begin to amortize capitalized film cost when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from the film.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the net assets at the date of acquisition. Under the provisions of ASC 350IntangiblesGoodwill and Other, goodwill acquired in a business combination with indefinite useful lives are not amortized; rather, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired.
11
Derivatives/Liabilities
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments (the Convertible Notes), in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether ran equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entitys own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entitys own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entitys own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entitys own stock. First, the instruments contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instruments settlement provisions. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability with the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The derivative liabilities result in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the Convertible Notes. This derivative liability is marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the income statement. Unamortized discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Convertible Note. If the Note is converted or the warrants are exercised, the derivative liability is released and recorded as additional paid in capital.
Related Parties
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 850Related Party Transactions & Disclosures relating to the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Our financial statements include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. The disclosures include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitment and Contingencies
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 450Contingencies when accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
12
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company reports the non-controlling interest in its majority owned subsidiaries in the consolidated balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Companys stockholders equity. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders proportionate share of the equity of the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holders 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the following is the specific revenue recognition policy:
Revenues from the sale of programming for television and other media are recognized when
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·
The show/episode is complete, and in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery;
·
The price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and
·
Collectability is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation for Obtaining Employee Services
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718Stock-based Compensation. Accordingly, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:
·
Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. The expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
·
Expected volatility of the entitys shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC 718, a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for it to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
·
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Companys current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.
·
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.
13
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of ASC 505-50.
Accordingly, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Under the guidance, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services.
Consistent with ASC 505-50, share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The issuer shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the following dates, referred to as the measurement date: (a) The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); or (b) The date at which the counterpartys performance is complete. If the Companys common shares are traded in one of the national exchanges the grant-date share price of the Companys common stock will be used to measure the fair value of the common shares issued, however, if the Companys common shares are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Companys most recent private placement memorandum (PPM), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax Provision
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740Income Taxes. 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.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to the unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 for the three or nine month reporting periods ended September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants.

The potentially outstanding dilutive common shares under the Treasury Stock Method for the reporting period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive.
Subsequent Events
The Company will evaluate and disclose if indicated, subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Accounting Standards Update
In April 2015, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03).To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In August 2015, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (ASU 2015-14).The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
Note 3 Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2015 of ($5,945,254), a net loss of ($989,376) and net cash used in operating activities of ($721,480) for the reporting periods then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenue; however, the Companys cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to produce sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds.
The audit report of our independent registered public accounting firm, dated March 31, 2015, included an explanatory paragraph about the existence of substantial doubt concerning the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 10- Derivative Liabilities
Derivative Analysis-Embedded conversion feature in convertible notes
In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, the Company may sell options or warrants to purchase its common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
The Companys derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimates fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock over the life of the option.
As of September 30, 2015, the Companys derivative financial instruments are embedded derivatives associated with the Companys convertible notes describe in Note # 9.
Valuation Methodology
The Company has utilized a third party valuation consultant to assist the Company to evaluate the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives using a multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. These models are based on future projections of the various potential outcomes.
The model analyzes the underlying economic factors that influence which of these events would occur, when they are likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e. interest rates, stock price, conversion price, etc.). Projections are then made on these underlying factors which lead to a set of potential scenarios. Probabilities are assigned to each of these scenarios over the remaining term of the note based on management projections. This lead to a cash flow projection over the life of the note and a probability associated with that cash flow. A discounted weighted average cash flow over the various scenarios is completed, and it is compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative liability at the date of valuation.
Valuation Assumptions
The existing derivative instruments are valued as of issuance and the quarters end 09/30/15. The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the Notes:
·
The notes convert with an initial conversion price of 50%-65% of the average or low of the 1-3 lowest bid out of the 10-25 previous days;
·
An event of default would occur 1% of the time, increasing 1.00% per month to a maximum of 10%;
·
The projected annual volatility curve for each valuation period was based on the historical annual volatility of the company in the range 109%-271%.
·
The company would not redeem the notes prior to maturity and would have no reset events; and The Holder would not automatically convert the note at the maximum of 2 times the fixed conversion price.
·
Risk free rates for the remaining term of the notes was in the range of 0.00% to 0.22%

Recent Developments
On April 29, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement (the Agreement) with Mario Kassar, the Chairman of the Companys Board of Directors, pursuant to which Mr. Kassar will utilize $250,000 of the Companys funds for costs relating to the production of the film Audition. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company engaged Mr. Kassar to render producing and sales services for each film in the Rambo franchise, SMITE franchise or other feature length motion picture property introduced to the Company by Mr. Kassar (each, a Picture) on the same terms as apply to Audition, except that the producing fee shall not be less than 10% of the budget of each Picture. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 100,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Kassar, instead of paying Mr. Kassar the $100,000 payment that the Company was required to pay in April 2015 under the Agreement for Chairman of Board of Directors dated February 13, 2015 (the Board Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company and Mr. Kassar agreed that the Company would pay Mr. Kassar $100,000 on or before May 17, 2015, and that such payment shall be the final payment due under the Board Agreement. The Company also agreed to pay Mr. Kassar 5% of the purchase price of any Carolco-produced feature length films in the Rambo franchise and all completed films or film libraries acquired by the Company with Mr. Kassars assistance and based on Mr. Kassars introduction to the Company of such completed films or film libraries. The terms of the Agreement also provide that the Company will pay Mr. Kassar a discretionary bonus in relation to his efforts in bringing projects and opportunities to the Company.

On October 5, 2015, Alexander Bafer, Carolco Pictures, Inc.s then controlling shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and director (the Seller), entered into and closed separate and distinct Securities Purchase Agreements (the Agreement) with individual Purchasers. The Purchasers (individually) purchased in the aggregate from the Seller a total of 35,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
On October 16, 2015, Mr. Alexander Bafer resigned his position as president and CEO of the Company. Following a resolutions by the Board of Directors, Sam Lupowitz was appointed President, CEO and CFO of the Company. During this period the members of the Board of Directors was modified to include a Board consisting of Sam Lupowitz, Joseph I. Emas, and Mario Kassar.
Mr. Bafer's rationale behind the execution of the overall transaction was to enhance shareholder value by bringing in an investor group which included a principal investor, Mr. Sam Lupowitz, and the business model developed by Mr. Lupowitz, a model designed to bring the "Carolco" brand - associated mainly with mega-successful motion picture franchises such as "Rambo" and "Terminator" - back to its former glory while attempting to offset much of the financial risk typically associated with production.
Mr. Lupowitz gained extensive feature-length motion picture production and worldwide distribution experience first working side by side for many years with one of the world's most prolific filmmakers, the late Menahem Golan of "Golan-Globus" and The Cannon Group, Inc. ("Cannon") fame. Cannon ultimately acquired one of Hollywood's seven major motion picture studios (Metro-Goldwyn, Mayer, Inc.) (a/k/a "MGM"). Further, Mr. Golan is credited by many for having invented "pre-sales", a term that refers to the pre-licensing of the distribution rights in and to motion pictures prior to their actual production (pursuant to Mr. Lupowitz' model, a technique the Company intends to use to offset financial risk).
Mario Kassar, co-founder of the original "Carolco" and producer of the first three installments of the "Rambo" franchise, two installments of the "Terminator" franchise, "Total Recall" and "Basic Instinct", as well as many other major motion pictures, remains as Carolco's chairman.

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 remained relatively constant between the periods totaling $366,169 and $374,235, respectively. The bulk of our revenue is derived from production services, including award programming, much of which is seasonal. Revenue recognition is deferred until product is delivered and accepted by our customers. Our future revenue plan is dependent, in part, on our ability to effectively market The Doorman pilot and close new viable acquisitions of film rights.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $286,147, as compared to $212,425 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct production labor and production equipment rental. These costs increased approximately $74,000 between periods. This increase was attributable primarily to production labor as the Company increased staff in anticipation of future planned production projects.
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $147,907, compared to $671,672 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of approximately $524,000 was primarily attributable to a sharp drop in compensation expenses recognized between the periods. Compensation expense recognized in the prior year reflected significant costs associated with stock based compensation expense recognized attributable to the Companys acquisition of S&G Holdings, Inc. during the fourth quarter 2013.
The Company realized a loss before income tax provision and non-controlling interest of $984,445 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a loss before income tax provision and non-controlling interest of $505,504 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The sharp increase is primarily due to the significant increase in compensation expense recognized in 2014 as discussed above, being more than offset by related party interest expense recognized in 2015 of approximately $1,083,000. The related party interest expense resulted from the issuance of convertible notes in exchanges of the existing promissory notes totaling $543,115, due the CEO which included embedded derivatives ultimately recognized in interest expense for the period.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $768,529, as compared to $644,887 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in demand for the Companys production services, particularly in area of award presentation programming. The Company continues to focus much of its efforts in the area of productions related to televised awards programming where it believes it has the expertise to grow in this sector. Revenue recognition is deferred until product is delivered and accepted by our customers. Our future revenue plan is, in part, dependent on our ability to effectively market The Doorman pilot and close new viable acquisitions of film rights.
Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $623,381, as compared to $385,215 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct production labor and production equipment rentals. These costs increased approximately $238,000 between periods. This increase was attributable in part a 19% increase in revenues and primarily to increases in production labor as the Company increased staff in anticipation of future planned production projects.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $1,054,099, compared to $2,746,520 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The sharp decrease of approximately $1,692,000 was primarily attributable to a reduction in compensation paid to executives in the form of common shares and warrants in the prior period. Compensation expenses totaled $349,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, down from $2,107,540 for the same period of the preceding year, a reduction of approximately $1,759,000.
The Company has realized a loss before income tax provision and non-controlling interest of $1,946,029 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a loss before income tax provision and non-controlling interest of $2,411,692 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to the sharp decline in compensation expense as described above being offset by increase in interest expense recognized as a result of fair value recognition given to certain convertible notes as described previously.

As of September 30, 2015, our assets totaled $878,026 and our liabilities totaled $2,238,708 and we had negative working capital of $1,684,086.
Pursuant to the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Bafer, we are obligated to pay Mr. Bafer $150,000 per year. 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 time, we did not have sufficient cash flows to make the required payments under the employment 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. Accrued salaries due Mr. Bafer totaled $125,000 and $150,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
As part of the Companys acquisition of S&G Holdings, Inc. (doing business as High Five Entertainment) (S&G) in December 2013, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Mr. Martin Fischer, pursuant to which Mr. Fischer will serve as S&Gs 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 based on performance 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, exercisable at $0.01 per share, which vested throughout 2014.
25
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our 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 additional 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued its report dated March 31, 2015, in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements as of December 31, 2014, that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and Note 3 to the unaudited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2015 also describes the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenue; however, the Companys cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to produce sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of Company include the accounts of Carolco Pictures, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries, York Productions, LLC, York Productions II, LLC, and S&G Holdings, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Income Tax Provision. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740Income Taxes. 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.
Capitalized Movie 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 926Entertainment Films. The Company will begin to amortize capitalized film cost when a film is released and it begins to recognize revenue from the film.
26
Non-Controlling Interest. The Company reports the non-controlling interest in its majority owned subsidiaries in the consolidated balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Companys stockholders equity. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders proportionate share of the equity of the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holders 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the Companys limited resources and limited number of employees. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outsourced accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which, we believe, will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Under the provisions of ASC 505 and the terms of the agreement, the measurement date was determined to be the contract date, with no vesting or forfeiture provisions or significant disincentives for non-performance. Accordingly, the fair value of the issuance of $0.08 per share based on market price, was charged to stock-based compensation on the effective date of the agreement.
During April 2015, the Company sold 3,125 units at $0.80 per unit for a total of $2,500. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock, one Class A warrant and on Class B warrant. The warrants are exercisable for two years from issuance at $3.00 and $6.00 per share, respectively.
