Item 1. 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 that we acquired in December 2013, High Five Entertainment, we specialize in the development and presentation of quality television programming including live events and award shows. The Company focuses 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.

Through our subsidiary that we acquired in July 2016, Recall Studios, we focus on Virtual Reality content, filling the demand attendant to the increased production of virtual reality viewing devices absent a corresponding increase in content production.

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, 2015, 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 well as virtual reality content. We are also developing non-linear consumer based editing software.

Through our recent acquisition of Recall Studios, Carolco Pictures creates virtual reality content and is developing non-linear consumer based editing software. This acquisition was a related party transaction due to the common ownership interest by Alex Bafer, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Development Officer.

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.

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. Kassar’s assistance and based on Mr. Kassar’s introduction to the Company of such completed films or film libraries.

The Company

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.

Television Production

Through our subsidiary High Five Entertainment, we specialize in the development and presentation of quality television programming including 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, 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.

In September 2014, we acquired intellectual property rights in relation to the trademarked Carolco Pictures. The Company believes it will successfully leverage the name that brought the public noteworthy films such as the Terminator series, the Rambo Series, Basic Instinct, Total Recall and The Doors, and capitalize on this acquisition. We have been awarded intellectual property rights to the concomitant service mark for use in the United States.

High Five Entertainment

As briefly described above, High Five Entertainment is an internationally recognized, Emmy Award-winning entertainment production company based in Nashville, Tennessee specializing 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’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.

Relocating to Nashville in the early nineties, High Five Entertainment became synonymous with the presentation of 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 continues to be one of the premiere producers of quality music-television entertainment with ongoing episodes of Opry Live quality music-television entertainment with ongoing episodes of synonymous with the presentation of groundbreaking music television events.

High Five made an extremely successful foray into the fascinating world of motorsports entertainment, producing the Fox Sports 1 (formerly known as the SPEED Channel) top-rated series “Pass Time”, a riveting, fast-paced game show for gear heads. HFE produced more than 150 episodes of the show. Also for SPEED Channel, High Five 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. HFE followed this with the series “Burnout –The Ultimate Drag Race Challenge” in Phoenix, AZ which aired on MTV2. HFE also recently produced a record-breaking PBS pledge special with Dr. Daniel Amen, iChange Your Brain, Change Your Life”, and the follow-up special “A Magnificent Mind At Any Age”.

Recall Studios

On July 21, 2016, we acquired Recall studios. This acquisition was a related party transaction due to the common ownership interest by Alex Bafer, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Development Officer. Founded by business, media and entertainment industry leaders to meet growing demand for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) content, Recall Studios operates within the convergence of immersive content and software. Recall Studios will allow consumers to create and share interactive experiences across all platforms. Combining modern business strategy with industry experience by bringing together highly trained relative newcomers and entertainment industry stalwarts to create low risk, high profit and artistically acclaimed feature film virtual reality and television projects, the Company and its subsidiaries are analyzing profitability across myriad entertainment sectors. We believe that Recall Studios is the future of new media entertainment and technology.

New Media is a multi-billion-dollar industry even in its nascent form. Demand for VR and mixed media content is growing rapidly.

Experienced at developing immersive narratives and software, we believe that Recall’s team is positioned to capitalize on the absence of high quality consumer VR experiences and software. No company has emerged as the leader in either VR production or technologies that allow consumers to edit, create, and distribute interactive VR content. Recall’s competition is limited as we do not believe that there are any companies actively providing non-linear, interactive VR software/platform solutions for consumers.

Management

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 believe that we have unique access to Hollywood talent, scripts and third parties ripe for acquisition. We believe that 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.

We believe we represent a new model in entertainment industry profitability. We intend to 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.

Competition

We believe that our management team’s reputation, contacts and experience give us a competitive edge. However, the market for productions currently is, and is expected to continue to be, extremely competitive. Our competitors include many companies that have substantially greater financial, management, marketing resources and experience than us. There can be no assurance that our productions will be competitive with other motion pictures or television shows, or that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

Employees

As of March 31, 2017, we had four full-time employees.

Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

The Company is not currently engaged in any legal proceedings, however, the Company received a letter dated April 26, 2016 from Studiocanal S.A. (“Studiocanal”) and another letter dated December 1, 2016 from counsel representing Studiocanal claiming that Studiocanal owns common law rights to certain marks currently being used by the Company. Such marks were previously registered by a company that has been defunct since 1996. In addition, Studiocanal and its counsel claim that Studiocanal owns all right, title and interest in and to the catalogue of television programs and films that were produced and distributed by that defunct company, including the Rambo franchise, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Basic Instinct and Total Recall. The December 2016 letter states that the use of trademarks and copyrighted images by the Company constitutes infringement of intellectual property rights, a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, false advertising, unfair competition, misappropriation of trademarks and trademark dilution.

Studiocanal’s counsel requested that the Company cease and desist from use of such marks and material and relinquish trademark registrations legally obtained by the Company. Following receipt of the April 2016 letter, the Company responded and discussions were held between representatives of the Company and Studiocanal. The Company has not yet responded to the December 2016 letter. As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any legal proceeding having been brought by Studiocanal.

Effective December 31, 2015, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to Carolco Pictures, Inc.

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 that we acquired in December 2013, High Five Entertainment, we specialize in the development and presentation of quality television programming including live events and award shows.

Through our subsidiary that we acquired in July 2016, Recall Studios, we focus on Virtual Reality content, filling the demand attendant to the increased production of virtual reality viewing devices absent a corresponding increase in content production. This acquisition was a related party transaction due to the common ownership interest by Alex Bafer, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Development Officer.

Recent Developments

On June 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) by and between the Company, Tarek Kirschen, the then-Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company and South Centre, a firm owned solely by David Cohen, a then-unrelated individual. The SPA provided that the Company would issue to Mr. Kirschen 5,000,000 shares of newly designated Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Stock”), in exchange for the payment to the Company of $1,000, which would thereafter be sold by Mr. Kirschen to South Centre for $150,000. Mr. Cohen thereby became the controlling shareholder of the Company.

The SPA, as amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the SPA, executed on June 24, 2016, provided that the closing of the transactions thereunder (the “Closing”) would occur upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent, including the issuance of the shares of Series A Stock and the issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, the delivery of certain documents to evidence the valid issuance of the Series A Stock to Mr. Kirschen, the execution and delivery of certain additional documents, including the Release and Issuance Agreement as discussed below, and certain other customary closing conditions. All such conditions were satisfied and the transactions under the SPA closed on June 27, 2016.

On June 22, 2016, in connection with and as required by the SPA, the Company entered into a Release and Issuance Agreement by and between Mr. Kirschen, the Company, Alexander Bafer, a former officer and shareholder of the Company, and South Centre (the “Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Release Agreement, effective as of the Closing, (i) Mr. Kirschen released all claims that he may have against the Company, Mr. Bafer and their respective related parties; and (ii) Mr. Bafer released all claims that he may have against Mr. Kirschen and his related parties.

In the Release Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue to Mr. Kirschen 5,000,000 shares of Series A Stock, and 1,000,000 shares of newly designated Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Stock”), and Mr. Kirschen agreed to forgive $439,000 that was owed by the Company to Mr. Kirschen (the “Debt”). The transactions under the Release Agreement closed concurrently with the Closing under the SPA, on June 27, 2016. Upon the Closing, Mr. Cohen was named a director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

On July 20, 2016, the Company entered into an Amendment to Promissory Notes (“Notes Amendment”) with Alexander Bafer pursuant to which the maturity date of each of our five loans from Mr. Bafer was amended to be August 1, 2017 instead of October 1, 2015. The five loans are represented by Replacement Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes Amendment, Mr. Bafer waived any default under each of the Notes through the date of the Notes Amendment as a result of any amounts payable under the Notes not being paid as of October 1, 2015 and waived the payment of any Default Interest (as defined in the Notes) through the date of the Notes Amendment as a result of such failure of payment. No other terms of the loans changed, and we did not pay any consideration for the extension. Our outstanding balance on the loans under the Notes as of July 20, 2016 was approximately $469,000.

On July 21, 2016, the Company entered into a Redemption and Issuance Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) by and between the Company and South Centre, Inc., an entity owned and controlled by David Cohen, the Company’s sole director (at the time) and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, on the same date, the Company redeemed 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”) in exchange for the payment to South Centre of $0.0001 per share. The Company undertook the redemption for the purposes of obtaining the shares of Series A Stock so that such shares could be paid to certain third parties in connection with the Contribution Agreement as disclosed below.

Also pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, on the same date, the Company issued to South Centre 12,750,000 shares of newly designated Series C Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series C Stock”) in exchange for payment to the Company of $1,000.

On July 25, 2016, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and between the Company, Recall, South Centre and various other shareholders of Recall (the “Recall Shareholders”).

The Contribution Agreement provided that the Recall Shareholders would contribute to the Company all of the shares of Recall held by the Recall Shareholders, which would result in Recall becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In return for the contributions by the Recall Shareholders, the Company issued to the Recall Shareholders 25,256,250 shares of Series C Stock and 2,500,000 shares of the Series A Stock, that were redeemed by the Company from South Centre, as described above. The transactions under the Contribution Agreement closed on July 25, 2016.

Recall focuses on Virtual Reality content. Founded by business, media and entertainment industry leaders to meet growing demand for Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) content, that Recall is the future of new media entertainment and technology. Operating within the convergence of immersive content and software, Recall is allowing consumers to create and share interactive experiences across all platforms through its production of content and software permitting consumer based editing of non-linear content.

The Contribution Agreement provided that upon the closing of the transactions in the Contribution Agreement, the Company would enter into employment agreements with (i) Bradley Albert as President and Chief Creative Officer of the Company, (ii) Justin Morris as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and (iii) Alexander Bafer as Chief Development Officer of the Company.

Upon the closing of the transactions, the Company entered into employment agreements with each of Mr. Albert, Mr. Morris and Mr. Bafer which commenced simultaneously with the closing of the transactions under the Contribution Agreement, on July 25, 2016.

The Company entered into a Chairman Agreement with Alexander Bafer (the “Chairman Agreement”) on July 25, 2016, pursuant to which Mr. Bafer was named to the Board and also named Chairman of the Board. Pursuant to the Chairman Agreement, on the effective date thereof the Company issued to Mr. Bafer 510,000 shares of Series A Stock of the Company, which shares were immediately vested.

On July 25, 2016, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company issued 1,990,000 shares of Series A Stock and 25,256,250 shares of Series C Stock to the Recall Shareholders in exchange for the contribution to the Company by the Recall Shareholders (collectively) of 25,256,250 shares of common stock of Recall, and 748,334 shares of Class A Preferred Stock of Recall, collectively constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Recall.

At the option of the holder thereof, each share of Series C Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) provided that this option is not exercisable until there are sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized for the conversion of all of the Series C Stock. There is no adjustment to the conversion ratio in the event of a reverse stock split of the common stock or for any other reason.

In addition to the above, on the closing of the transaction with Recall, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series C Stock to Harrison Smith (a former shareholder of Recall) and 993,750 shares of Series C Stock to Frank Esposito (a then-advisor to the Company and a current director and Chief Legal Officer of the Company) in consideration of services rendered to the Company in connection with the Contribution Agreement and the transactions therein.

The issuances of the Series A Stock and the Series C Stock to the Recall Shareholders were completed pursuant to exemptions from registrations provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

In addition, as discussed above, pursuant to the Employment Agreement with Mr. Bafer, on the commencement of his employment term, the Company issued to Mr. Bafer 510,000 shares of Series A Stock of the Company, which shares were immediately vested.

On July 21, 2016, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to designate a new series of preferred stock, the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Stock”) to be utilized in the transactions described above. 40,000,000 shares were designated as Series C Stock.

Between July and December 2016, the Company raised approximately $260,000 through the issuance of 650,000 shares of Recall’s common stock. The Company and the purchasers of these common stock are currently in negotiations to convert the 137,500 shares of Recall common stock to the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock.

From April 2016 through September 2016, the Company issued 24,354 shares of common stock upon conversion of convertible notes and accrued interest in the aggregate of $144,000.

On June 29, 2016, Carolco Pictures, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a letter agreement with Esposito Partners, PLLC (“Esposito Partners”), pursuant to which the Company engaged Esposito Partners to provide legal services to the Company (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for a one-time fee payable to Esposito Partners in the amount of $60,000, which the Company may elect to pay by the delivery of stock of the Company.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2015

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $208,000 as compared to $964,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease of $756,000 in revenue was due to the slowdown in production activities during the change in the Company’s ownership in June 2016. 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 year ended December 31, 2016 were $113,000 as compared to $792,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease was directly related to the 78% decrease in revenues due to the acquisition and transition periods.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $1,720,000 compared to $3,218,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease of 47% was primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation expense, and professional fees due to the transitional period during the transfer of ownership.

The Company has realized a net loss of $10,136,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to a net loss of $7,609,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in net loss of approximately $2,527,000 is primarily due to the change in fair value of derivatives of $8,870,000, which is partially offset by a gain on extinguishment of derivative liability of $558,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016, our total assets were $115,000 and our total liabilities were $14,370,000 and we had negative working capital of ($14,255,000). Our financial statements report a net loss of $10,136,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and a net loss of $7,609,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 a stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2016, incurred a net loss and used cash in operating activities for the year then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s 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.

In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2016 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an on-going basis, our estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful life of the assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC considers an entity’s most critical accounting policies to be those policies that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and those that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain at the time of estimation. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting policies of the Company, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.

We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s High Five Entertainment subsidiary specializes in the development and presentation of quality television programming including series, specials, pilots, live events and award shows. It recognizes revenue from its live events and award show productions when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the show or live event has been completed and occurred and there are no future production obligations, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company’s Recall Studios subsidiary produces software applications for third-parties on a consulting basis. Revenues from these services are recognized when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) 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; (iii) the price to the customer is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. Those estimates and assumptions include depreciable lives of property and equipment, analysis of impairments of recorded goodwill, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by FASB where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Options and warrants granted to non-employees are revalued each reporting period to determine the amount to be recorded as an expense in the respective period. As the options and warrants vest, they are valued on each vesting date and an adjustment is recorded for the difference between the value already recorded and the then current value on the date of vesting. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option and warrant grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

The fair value of the Company’s stock option and warrant grants are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the reporting date.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

Research and Development Costs

Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred and relate to the development of virtual reality and augmented reality content and devices by Recall Studios. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 research and development costs were $161,000 and $0, respectively

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 in the accompanying financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements

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. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

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 principal 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, 2016. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016.

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, 2016, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 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, 2016, 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 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

Set forth below is the name, age, and positions held by our executive officers and directors:

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board. All officers and directors listed above will remain in office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our current executive officers and directors.

David Cohen . Mr. Cohen was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company in June 2016. On April 3, 2017, Mr. Cohen executed a separation agreement to resign as Company’s CEO, and Alex Bafer will assume all responsibilities as the Company’s CEO effective April 15, 2017. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Cohen was a Director of Investment Banking at Newbridge Securities Corporation from January 2015 through January 2016, and was the Director of Investment and Banking at National Securities Corp from June 2013 through December 2014, where he led the underwriting efforts for myriad NASDAQ and NYSE listed public companies. Prior to working with these investment banks, Mr. Cohen founded a private equity firm, Beachwood Capital LLC since January 2011 based in North Palm Beach, Florida. That Firm’s successful philosophy focused on achieving high compounding risk-adjusted returns through investments in securities approaching an inflection point as informed by proprietary macro and microeconomic analyses. Those investments included public equity and debt securities, equity derivatives and select direct investments in private companies. The firm deployed capital through multi-year investments with innovative companies that were both under followed by research analysts and inefficiently priced by the investment community. Preceding his ownership in the aforementioned private equity firm, Mr. Cohen was the Founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of a publicly traded company. During his leadership, Mr. Cohen executed a successful roll-up strategy within his industry, oversaw day-to-day management, led mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, employed junior management to oversee 40 employees and provided an informed voice to the Wall Street investment community. His 20 years of expertise in the securities markets includes all facets of public company management, corporate finance and corporate consulting for publicly-traded companies. As an advisor for various investment banking firms and brokerages, Mr. Cohen has specialized in the small and lower-middle market sectors, arranging financings in the public and private equity markets for emerging companies in a variety of industries. Mr. Cohen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pace University in New York City.

Alexander Bafer . Mr. Bafer is our Chief Development Officer, a Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Bafer is a seasoned executive and an established entrepreneur, having generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue for companies during his career. Mr. Bafer has successfully led the organization and development of numerous startup companies, and achieved many successful exits. The Company is the latest success story for Mr. Bafer. During the 5 years under his direction, the Company (formerly known as Brick Top Productions) went public, acquired an Emmy award-winning production company that was generating substantial revenue, and acquired the rights to the name and service mark of “Carolco Pictures”, which belonged to a now defunct but famous Academy Award winning studio behind blockbuster films Terminator 2 & 3, The Rambo Series, Total Recall, and Basic Instinct, just to name a few of the 36 films produced by the famous studio that earned it 16 Academy Award nominations and 6 Academy Award wins. Mr. Bafer’s vision was to rebrand the Company as the new “Carolco Pictures” and reunite the powerhouse name with the famous studio’s original founder and CEO, Mario Kassar. Mr. Bafer was successful, bringing Mr. Kassar on board as the Company’s Chief Development Executive and also as Chairman of the Board from February 2015 through January 2016. This ultimately resulted in the October 2015 sale of Mr. Bafer’s majority interest of the Company for a significant multiple. When new management of the Company asked him to come back to assist in leading the Company back to prominence, Mr. Bafer agreed. Prior to his work with the Company, Mr. Bafer was an equity partner with Guaranteed Mortgage Bankers, where he was responsible for managing and training 75 sales agents throughout 6 multi state offices. During his 4-year tenure at Guaranteed Mortgage, before selling his equity interest, his efforts resulted in a cumulative revenue increase for the company of more than 300%. Mr. Bafer’s business management and financial acumen were apparent even early on in his career and have permeated throughout it ever since. After graduating in the top 4% of his St. John’s University class, Mr. Bafer moved on to help manage a $500 million portfolio at Merrill Lynch in New York City. He then assumed a position as senior account executive with Preferred Securities Group in Boca Raton, Florida, where he was quickly promoted to President and Managing Director responsible for overseeing the firm’s three trading offices, 50 registered representatives and numerous support personnel. From there he accepted an equity position as a fund manager where he was involved in all aspects of building, organizing and managing a hedge fund. Throughout his career, Mr. Bafer has been involved with Investment Management of America, a venture capital firm and incubator, where he has been instrumental in raising capital for numerous prominent start-up ventures. Mr. Bafer has proven to be a successful asset to the management and support teams of several startups and continues to utilize his successes and proven experience in business development to assist others in organizing and developing their businesses from any stage, whether it be a startup or a developed company in need of capital, expansion, guidance or ultimately an exit.

Background and Qualifications of Directors.

When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Board of Directors focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business. As more specifically described in the biographies set forth above, our directors possess relevant knowledge and experience in the finance, accounting and business fields generally, which we believe enhances the Board’s ability to oversee, evaluate and direct our overall corporate strategy.

Committees of our Board of Directors

Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our board of directors.

Our board currently consists of Messrs. Bafer (Chair), Cohen, Albert and Morris. We do not currently have any board committees.

Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the board and the Company’s operating requirements and the long-term interests of its stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Board of Directors considers skills, diversity, age, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the board and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

The board’s process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, including nominees recommended by stockholders, will involve compiling names of potentially eligible candidates, conducting background and reference checks, conducting interviews with the candidate and others (as schedules permit), meeting to consider and approve the final candidates and, as appropriate, preparing an analysis with regard to particular recommended candidates.

Through their own business activities and experiences each of directors have come to understand that in today’s business environment, development of useful products and identification of undervalued real estate, along with other related efforts, are the keys to building our company. The directors will seek out individuals with relevant experience to operate and build our current and proposed business activities.

Director Compensation

In 2016, we did not have any non-employee directors. None of our directors received additional compensation for their services as a director

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon our review of copies of such forms received by us, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the following persons did not timely file Forms 3, Forms 4 and Forms 5 reporting beneficial ownership of our securities and/or changes therein: Mr. Bafer failed to file timely his Form 3, and Mr. Cohen failed to file timely one Form 4 with respect to one transaction.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Summary Compensation Table

The table below summarizes all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each named executive officer for our last two completed fiscal years for all services rendered to us.

Employment Agreements

On July 25, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Alexander Bafer under which he agreed to serve as our Chairman of the Board, and Chief Development Officer. The agreement provides for a base salary of $0 per year and he will be eligible to receive a bonus, payable in Employer’s sole discretion. The amount of Executive’s compensation shall be reviewed periodically, and at minimum shall be reviewed annually. It may be increased at the sole discretion of the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any, provided, however, that, consistent with the renewal provisions contained in the agreement, such compensation shall, after the initial Term, be placed before the Board or the Compensation Committee, if any, for a requested increase to cover cost of living expenses upon subsequent renewals of this Agreement. Employer shall provide Executive with standard benefits ordinarily granted to an executive in Executive’s position and ordinarily associated with the custom and practice of the industry, if any. Employer shall pay, or reimburse Executive, for all ordinary, reasonable and necessary expenses which Executive incurs in performing Executive’s duties under this Agreement including, but not limited to, travel, entertainment, professional dues and subscriptions, and all dues, fees and expenses associated with membership in various professional, business and civic associations and societies of which Executive’s participation is in the best interest of Employer. While employed by Employer, Executive shall be allowed to participate, on the same basis generally as other Executives of Employer, in all general Executive benefit plans and programs, Executive’s employment with Employer shall be terminated (i) upon the death of Executive; (ii) for Cause, as defined in the agreement; or (iii) upon Executive’s permanent disability (permanent disability being defined as Executive’s physical or mental incapacity to perform his usual duties as an Executive with such condition likely to remain continuously for more than three months, provided, however, that in such event, Executive’s employment shall be continued hereunder for a period of not less than one year from the date of such disability, but not beyond the end of the Term, with Executive’s base salary during such period to be reduced by any Employer-financed disability benefits. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the death of Executive or permanent disability of Executive (as defined in the agreement), all future compensation to which Executive is otherwise entitled and all future benefits for which Executive is eligible shall become due and payable as of the date of termination. Executive, or his estate in the case of Executive’s death, shall be entitled to Executive’s pro rata salary through the date of such termination and shall be entitled to any individual bonuses or individual incentive compensation not yet paid but due under Employer’s plans but shall not be entitled to any other payments by or on behalf of Employer except for those which may be payable pursuant to the terms of Employer’s Executive benefit plans or by virtue of Executive’s ownership of Employer’s stock which shall remain unaffected by the termination of Executive’s employment. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, which termination shall be effective immediately. As part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, and as an additional incentive for Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employer and Executive agree to the non-competition provisions of the agreement. Executive agrees that during the period of Executive’s non-competition obligations hereunder (twelve months), Executive will not, directly or indirectly for Executive or for others, in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) as of the date of termination of the employment relationship or have during the previous twelve months conducted any business (other than de minimis business operations): (i) engage in any business directly competitive with any business (other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates; (ii) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business(other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates; or (iii) induce any Executive of Employer or any of its affiliates (other than Executive’s personal secretary or administrative assistant) to terminate his employment with Employer, or its affiliates, or hire or assist in the hiring of any such induced Executive by any person, association, or entity not affiliated with Employer. These non-competition obligations shall extend until two years after termination of the employment relationship between Employer and Executive.

On July 25, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Bradley Albert under which he agreed to serve as our President, Chief Creative Officer, and Director. The employment agreement provides for a one year term, which automatically renews unless the other party gives a termination notice. The agreement provides for a base salary of $65,000 per year. Executive’s employment with Employer shall be terminated (i) upon the death of Executive; (ii) for Cause, as defined in the agreement; or (iii) upon Executive’s permanent disability (permanent disability being defined as Executive’s physical or mental incapacity to perform his usual duties as an Executive with such condition likely to remain continuously for more than three months.

Executive agrees that during the period of Executive’s non-competition obligations hereunder (twelve months), Executive will not, directly or indirectly for Executive or for others, in any geographic area or market where Employer or any of their affiliated companies are conducting any business (other than de minimis business operations) as of the date of termination of the employment relationship or have during the previous twelve months conducted any business (other than de minimis business operations): (i) engage in any business directly competitive with any business (other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates; (ii) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business directly competitive with any business(other than de minimis business operations) conducted by Employer or any of Employer’s affiliates; or (iii) induce any Executive of Employer or any of its affiliates (other than Executive’s personal secretary or administrative assistant) to terminate his employment with Employer, or its affiliates, or hire or assist in the hiring of any such induced Executive by any person, association, or entity not affiliated with Employer.

Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-end Table

At the end of our last completed fiscal year, our named executive officers did not have any outstanding unexercised options, stock that has not vested, or equity incentive plan awards.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

At March 31, 2017 we had 33,930 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2017 by:

Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed is in care of 5550 Glades Road, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our common stock outstanding on that date and all shares of our common stock issuable to that holder in the event of exercise of outstanding rights or conversion privileges owned by that person at that date which are exercisable within 60 days of that date. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by them, except to the extent that power may be shared with a spouse.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

On April 1, 2014, the Company’s CEO loaned the Company $150,000, in consideration for which the Company issued to its CEO a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $150,000, with interest at 5.0% per annum maturing on October 1, 2015, at which time a balloon payment of all outstanding principal and interest shall be due. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repaid $50,000 and converted the remaining principal balance of $100,000 into 20,000,000 shares of common stock.

On October 1, 2014, the Company’s CEO loaned the Company $150,000, in consideration for which the Company issued to its CEO a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $150,000, with interest at 5.0% per annum maturing on October 1, 2015, at which time a balloon payment of all outstanding principal and interest shall be due.

Effective December 24, 2013, 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 $1,000. In addition, the Company awarded Mr. Fischer an option to purchase 1,491,351 shares of common stock, these options vest throughout 2014.

On July 25, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company issued 25,256,250 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 1,990,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Recall Studios, Inc. (Recall). Recall is a Nevada corporation that was formed in April 2016 that is in the business of developing and producing Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) content and devices.

Our Chairman and former CEO, Alex Bafer, was a significant shareholder of Recall at the time of the acquisition. Until October 2015, Mr. Bafer was our controlling shareholder. In October 2015, Mr. Bafer sold controlling interest of the Company and his relationship to the Company was as a debtor through his convertible notes payable. Shortly after the consummation of the acquisition of Recall by Carolco, Mr. Bafer regained control of Carolco through of a series of transactions.

Due to Mr. Bafer’s related party relationship with Recall, and the subsequent control position he took in Carolco, the Company has accounted for the transaction with Recall as a combination of entities under common control. As such, the assets and liabilities of Recall have been transferred over at their historical cost basis, and the operations of the two companies have been combined as if the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Accordingly, the shares issued have been recorded at the $117,000 historical cost basis of the net assets acquired, and the $73,000 loss incurred during the period from April 2016 to the acquisition date has been reflected as research and development cost, resulting in a total basis of shares issued of $190,000.

Advances from Related Party

From time to time, the former CEO of the Company, a shareholder and a shareholder/employee advanced funds to the Company for working capital purposes. Those advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, outstanding advances from related party aggregated to $$41,000 and 31,000, respectively.

Accrued Payroll

Pursuant to a September 2010 employment agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer, the Company had accrued payroll of $125,000 as of December 31, 2015.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company accrued payroll in the aggregate of $435,000 for officers and employees salaries. In June 2016, as part of the settlement with Mr. Kirschen, the Company’s CEO at that time, the Company issued 5,000,000 of Preferred A shares and 1,000,000 of Preferred B shares as settlement of his accrued payroll of $ 90,000.

As of December, 2016, accrued payroll amounted to $458,000, of which $375,000 pertains to the accrued salary of two officers, Mr. Cohen, CEO and Mr. Bafer, Chief Development Officer.

Compensation Costs

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense in the aggregate of $309,000 to account for the fair value of the shares of common stock granted to Mr. Kassar, Chairman of the Board for services rendered.

In April 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Mario Kassar, who at the time was the Chairman of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company provided $250,000 in funding to a company managed by Mr. Kassar for the production of a film initially titled “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. 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. Kassar’s assistance and based on Mr. Kassar’s 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.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company wrote off the entire deposit of $250,000 due to the uncertainty of the completion of the film production.

In July 2015, the Company issued its convertible promissory notes to Alex Bafer, Chairman and former CEO in exchange for the cancellation of previously issued promissory notes in the aggregate of $530,000 and accrued interest of $13,000 for a total of $543,000. The notes are unsecured, bear interest of 5% per annum, matured on October 1, 2015 and are convertible to shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lowest closing stock price during the 20 trading days prior to conversion with a 50% discount.

In October 2015, the notes matured and became past due. As a result, the stated interest of 5% increased to 22% pursuant to the term of the notes. As of December 31, 2015, total outstanding note balance amounted to $543,000 and accrued interest of $42,000.

In July 2016, the Company and Mr. Bafer agreed to extend the maturity date of these notes to August 1, 2017 and cure the default. There were no other terms changed and no additional compensation paid.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Mr. Bafer converted principal balance of $9,000 into 3,500 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company paid Mr. Bafer $100,000 and accrued interest of $76,000. As of December 31, 2016, total outstanding note balance amounted to $434,000 and accrued interest of $118,000.

The Company had four convertible notes payable, five convertible notes payable to a related party and warrants to purchase a total of 56 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2016 that were accounted for as derivative liability.

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. and subsidiaries (the “Company“) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) 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 audits 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their 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 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2016 and incurred a net loss and used cash in operating activities for the year then ended. These conditions raise 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 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
