Carolco Pictures, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Operations

 

Carolco Pictures, Inc. (formerly “Brick Top Productions, Inc” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under the name “York Entertainment, Inc.” The Company changed its name to Brick Top Productions, Inc. in October 2010. In January 2015, the Company changed its name from Brick Top Productions, Inc. to Carolco Pictures, Inc. In addition, in January 2015, the Company changed its stock symbol from “BTOP” to “CRCO.”

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments considered necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation. Operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on November 22, 2016. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for that year.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, and which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $9,214,000 at June 30, 2016, and incurred a net loss of $4,381,000, and utilized net cash used in operating activities $204,000 for the six months ended. In addition, at June 30, 2016, $434,000 of convertible notes payable – related party and $54,000 of convertible notes matured and were in default. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 expressed substantial doubt about our 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.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to execute its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity securities for cash to operate its business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing. In July 2016, the Company raised approximately $416,000 through the issuance of 487,000 shares of common stock. Management estimates that the current funds on hand as of the date of this report, amounting to approximately $120,000 will be sufficient to continue operations through the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

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.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities 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 accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. The consolidated accounts include 100% of the assets and liabilities of our majority owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as a minority interest. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. 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. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described:

 

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.

 

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 Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued payroll, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of notes payable and convertible notes approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s derivative liability of $8,619,000 and $4,673,000 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was based on Level 2 measurements.

Concentrations

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had one customer that accounted for 66% and 57% of sales respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company specializes in the development and presentation of quality television programming including series, specials, pilots, live events and award shows. The Company 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.

 

Revenues from the sale of programming for television and other media will be 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.

 

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.

 

Deposit for Film Project to Related Party

 

Deposit for film project include capitalizable production costs, production overhead, interest, development costs and acquired production costs and are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated amortization, or fair value. The amount by which the unamortized costs of film and television productions exceed their estimated fair values is written off. Film development costs for projects that have been abandoned or have not been set for production within three years are generally written off.

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.

 

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 there were 2,952,600 warrants outstanding, which were excluded from the loss per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

 

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. 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 June 30, 2016, 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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued the ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this ASU require, among other things, that all income tax effects of awards be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The ASU also allows for an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

(a) On May 6, 2015, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $91,000 to St. George Investments, LLC (the “Lender”). The note bore interest at 22% per annum, as amended and matured in April 2016. Under the terms of the note, there was an original issue discount (“OID”) of $8,000 withheld at funding and the Company agreed to pay $3,000 to the Lender to cover the Lender’s legal fees and other transaction related costs. The Company recognized the OID as a note discount and the $3,000 fee as debt issuance costs. Both the note discount and issuance costs recognized in the transaction were accreted to interest expense over the life of the note. In addition, the Company paid an $8,000 finders’ fee in the transaction which has been recorded in debt issuance costs and is being accreted to interest expense of the life of the note.

As of December 31, 2015, outstanding balance of the note amounted to $56,000 and accrued interest of $3,000.
   
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company accrued interest of $3,000 and paid off the note in its entirety with a total of interest and principal balance of $62,000.
   
(b) On May 12, 2015, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $104,000 to the Vis Vires Group, Inc. (“VVG”). The note bore interest at 22% per annum, as amended, and matured in February 2016. VVG deducted $2,000 from the proceeds to cover their legal and other transaction related costs which was recorded as debt issuance costs and is being accreted to interest expense over the life of the note. The note carried a variable conversion price defined as 61% of the market price (representing a 39% discount), with market price being defined as the average of the lowest three trading days for the Company’s common stock during the 10 day period prior to the conversion date. As of December 31, 2015, outstanding balance of the note amounted to $78,000 and accrued interest of $9,000.
   
  During the the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company accrued interest of $3,000, paid off the note and accrued interest in the aggregate of $79,000 and converted the remaining principal balance of $11,000 to 5,978,947 shares of common stock.
   
(c) On June 22, 2015, the company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $88,000 to the Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”). The note bears interest at 24% per annum, as amended, and matured in March 2016. Auctus deducted $8,000 from the proceeds to cover their legal and other transaction related costs which were recorded as debt issuance costs and is being accreted to interest expense over the life of the note. In addition, the Company paid an $8,000 finders’ fee in this transaction which has been recorded in debt issuance costs and was accreted to interest expense over the life of the note. The note carried a variable conversion price defined as 50% of the market price (representing a 50% discount), with market price being defined as the lowest trading price of our common stock during the 25-trading day period prior to the conversion date. As of December 31, 2015, outstanding balance of the note amounted to $86,000 and accrued interest of $7,000.
   
  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company converted principal and accrued interest in the aggregate of $37,000 to 147,627,745 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2016, outstanding note balance amounted to $54,000 and accrued interest of $12,000. As of June 30, 2016, the note was past due and in default.
   
(d) On July 10, 2015, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $52,500 to the Vis Vires Group, Inc. (“VVG”). The note bore interest at 22% per annum, as amended and matured in April 2016. VVG deducted $1,000 from the proceeds to cover their legal related costs which were charged to interest expense. The note carried a variable conversion price defined as 61% of the market price (representing a 39% discount), with market price being defined as the average of the lowest three trading days for the Company’s common stock during the 10-day period prior to the conversion date. As of December 31, 2015, outstanding balance of the note amounted to $41,000 and accrued interest of $3,000.
   
  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company converted the entire principal and accrued interest amounting to $43,000 to 41,809,474 shares of common stock.

 

The Company considered the current FASB guidance of “Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that any adjustment to the fixed amount (either conversion price or number of shares) of the instrument regardless of the probability of whether or not within the issuers’ control means the instrument is not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that the conversion prices of these Notes were not a fixed amount because they were subject to an adjustment based on the occurrence of future offerings or events. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance. The Company determined that upon issuance of the Notes in 2015, the initial fair value of the embedded conversion feature was $532,000. As such, the Company recorded a $532,000 derivative liability, of which $305,000 was recorded as debt discount offsetting the fair value of the Notes and the remainder of $226,000 was recorded as a financing cost in 2015. The discount is being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments. The unamortized balance of the debt discount was $79,000 as of December 31, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company amortized to interest expense, $79,000 of the remaining debt discount. In addition, the Company also recorded and paid additional interest of $55,000 due to the default of certain of these notes.

 

Note 6 – Convertible Notes Payable to Related Party

 

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 $555,000 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 20-day stock price prior to conversion with a 50% discount.

 

The Company considered the current FASB guidance of “Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that any adjustment to the fixed amount (either conversion price or number of shares) of the instrument regardless of the probability of whether or not within the issuers’ control means the instrument is not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that the conversion prices of the Notes were not a fixed amount because they were subject to an adjustment based on the occurrence of future offerings or events. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance. The Company determined that upon issuance of the convertible Notes in 2015, the initial fair value of the embedded conversion feature was $1.5 million. The Company determined that the cancellation of the previously issued promissory notes in exchange for the convertible notes issued in 2015 was an extinguishment of debt, and the fair value of the derivative liability of $1.5 million was created upon the exchange of debt instruments and was accounted as a debt extinguishment cost during the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

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 note. As of December 31, 2015, total outstanding note balance amounted to $543,000 and accrued interest of $42,000.

 

During the period ended June 30, 2016, Mr. Bafer converted principal balance of $9,000 to 35 million shares of common stock. In addition, the Company paid Mr. Bafer $100,000 and accrued interest of $57,000. As of June 30, 2016, total outstanding note balance amounted to $434,000 and accrued interest of $99,000.

 

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

 

Note 7 - Derivative Liability

 

The FASB has issued authoritative guidance whereby instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. Certain warrants issued to investors and conversion features of notes payable do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices will be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the notes was separated from the host contract (i.e., the notes) and the fair value of the warrants have been recognized as a derivative and will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

 

  12 
 

 

The Company had four convertible notes payable, five convertible note payable to a related party and warrants to purchase a total of 561,250 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2016 that were accounted for as derivative liability. The derivative liability were valued at the following dates using a probability based weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following average assumptions:

 

   December 31, 2015   June 30,  2016 
Stock Price  $0.001   $0.001 
Risk free interest rate   0.003%   0.39%
Expected Volatility   404%   462%
Expected life in years   0.614    0.625 
Expected dividend yield   0%   0%
           
Fair Value – Warrants  $3,658,000   $7,283,000 
Fair Value – Note Conversion Feature  $1,015,000   $1,336,000 

 

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the was determined by the remaining contractual life of the derivative instrument. For derivative instrument that already matured, the Company used the estimated life. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a gain of $257,000 upon the extinguishment of derivative liabilities related to the payment and conversion of certain convertible notes, and a $4,203,000 relating to the change in the fair value of the derivatives during the period. As of June 30, 2016, the aggregate fair value of the derivative liabilities was $8,619,000.

 

Note 8 - Stockholders’ Deficit

 

In January 2016, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 5,000,000,000 and the number of shares of its preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 50,000,000, the rights and preferences of which to be determined by the Board of Directors.

In June 2016, the Company issued 5,000,000 of Preferred A shares and 1,000,000 of Preferred B shares to Mr. Tarek Kirschen, former Chief Executive Officer, as settlement for advances made by him to the Company during the period ended June 30, 2016 amounting to $354,000 and accrued payroll of $85,000 for a total of $439,000. The Preferred A shares is entitled to 100 votes per 1 share with no dividend rights and is not convertible to common shares. The Preferred B shares is convertible to 2 common shares per 1 preferred share and is entitled to 1 vote per 1 share with no dividend rights.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” and “our” are to the Company, unless the context requires otherwise. The following discussion and analysis by our management of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed interim financial statements and the accompanying related notes included in this quarterly report and our audited financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated on February 20, 2009, in the State of Florida, under the name York Entertainment, Inc. On October 5, 2010, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to Brick Top Productions, Inc. Effective December 31, 2014, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to Carolco Pictures, Inc.

 

We are an award-winning feature film and television specials production company. We seek to finance, produce and distribute one or more television series and feature films to be licensed for exploitation in domestic and international theatrical, television, cable, home video and pay per view markets.

 

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

 

Through our subsidiary, Recall Studios that we acquired in July 2016, 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. Founded by business, media and entertainment industry leaders to meet growing demand for virtual reality and augmented reality 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.

 

Management’s Plan

 

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.

 

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

    Six Months Ended

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities   $ (204,000 )   $ (581,000 )
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities   $ -     $ 253,000  
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities   $ 163,000     $ 916,000

As of June 30, 2016, our assets totaled $279,000 and our liabilities totaled $9,493,000 and we had negative working capital of $9,465,000.

 

Pursuant to the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Bafer, we were 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 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

As part of the Company’s 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&G’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 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.

 

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 June 30, 2016, 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, and which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $9,214,000 at June 30, 2016, and incurred a net loss of $4,381,000, and utilized net cash used in operating activities $204,000 for the six months ended. In addition, at June 30, 2016, $434,000 of convertible notes payable – related party and $54,000 convertible notes matured and were in default. These factors raise 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.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to execute its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity securities for cash to operate its business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing. In July 2016, the Company raised approximately $416,000 through the issuance of 487,000 shares of common stock. Management estimates that the current funds on hand as of the date of this report, amounting to approximately $120,000 will be sufficient to continue operations through the year ended December 31, 2016.

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.

 

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 Company’s stockholders’ equity. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s 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.

 

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 December 31, 2015, 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.

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 in the accompanying financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting policies.

 

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012

 

  23 
 

 

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.

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 Commission’s 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 Company’s 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s 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 six months ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Except for income tax contingencies (commencing April 1, 2009), the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

 

Studiocanal S.A.

 

The Company is not currently engaged in any legal proceedings, however, the Company received a letter dated April 26, 2016 from Studiocanal S.A., which claims to be the assignee of trademark rights in certain marks previously registered by a company that has been defunct since 1996. The letter stated that use of the marks by the Company is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to deceive as to whether there is an affiliation or association between the Company and the defunct entity and/or Studiocanal, and requested that the Company cease and desist from use of such marks and relinquish trademark registrations legally obtained by the Company and after judicial decision. The Company responded and discussions were held between representatives of the Company and Studiocanal. At this time, Company is not aware of any legal claim having been brought by Studiocanal.
