CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form 10, as amended, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 12(b) under the Securities Act of 1934.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2015.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Capital Art, Inc. (formerly Movie Star News, LLC), and its 100% owned subsidiary Capital Art, LLC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

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

Reverse Merger

On October 8, 2014, Capital Art, Inc. (“CAPA”) a Delaware Corporation and Capital Art, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company and wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Art, Inc. (collectively “CAPA” or “pre-merger CAPA”), CAPA entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Movie Star News, LLC. (“MSN”), a Nevada Limited Liability Company. The Agreement was effectively a contract to merge the three companies to combine assets of rare images. Refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of December 31, 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma information is presented to reflect the operations of the Company as if the reverse merger had been completed on January 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had $111,331 cash on hand. At September 30, 2015 the Company has a retained deficit of $1,390,491. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company had a net loss of $1,019,419 and cash used in operations of $723,681. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

CAPITAL ART, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Over the next twelve months the Company intends to invest its working capital resources in sales and marketing in order to increase the distribution and demand for its products. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenue and obtain additional capital to continue at its expected level of operations, the Company may be forced to scale back or discontinue its sales and marketing efforts. However, there is no guarantee the Company will generate sufficient revenues or raise capital to continue operations.

Inventory

The Company’s inventory is comprised of rare photos of movie stars and other famous people. Direct labor and raw material costs associated with the process of making the photos available for sale are also included in inventory at cost. These costs are expensed to cost of sales pro-ratably as sold.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, consisting of content provider and photographic agreements, and copyrights, are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of ten years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such situations, long-lived assets are considered impaired when future undiscounted cash flows resulting the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the asset’s carrying amount. In such situations, the asset is written down to the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Factors that are considered when evaluating long-lived assets for impairment include a current expectation that it is more likely than not that the long-lived asset will be sold significantly before the end of its useful life, a significant decrease in the market price of the long-lived asset, and a change in the extent of manner in which the long-lived asset is being used. Based on management’s assessment there were no impairments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 - Derivatives Hedging: Embedded Derivatives. ASC 815 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms in agreements are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivatives that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for and separated from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 – Revenues from Contracts with Customers, which introduces a new five-step framework for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that entities should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016. Management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 clarifies that inventory should be held at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs to complete, dispose and transport such inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU No. 2015-11 is required to be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern, (Subtopic 204-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU requires management to evaluate each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Management does not believe the adoption of ASU-2014-15 will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Globe Photos, Inc. (“Globe”), a New York corporation, for purchase of substantially all of the assets, which principally comprises of photographer contracts granting the Company the right to exploit copyrights, digital and tangible photographs, and related copyrights and trademarks, of Globe Photo for total purchase price of $400,000 payable in $250,000 cash and $150,000 common stock of the Company.

Per the agreement, $180,000 in cash shall be held in reserve by the Company against Globe’s full performance and compliance with all terms of the agreement. This amount is to be released to Globe at the rate of $10,000 per month beginning August 22, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, the total reserve payable to Globe Photos, Inc. is $160,000.

The Common stock is to be transferred to Globe sixty (60) days after closing subject to satisfaction of successful termination of certain subagent agreements by Globe. The seller retained these certain subagent agreements, but was not able to successfully terminate these agreements. As such, the amount payable in common stock of the Company was reduced by $30,000, thereby reducing the total purchase price of the assets acquired from $400,000 to $370,000. Under the terms of the Agreement the Company issued 352,941 shares of its common stock based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares as traded on the OTC market on the measurement date July 22, 2015 of $0.34 per share for total of $120,000.

As a form of liquidity protection, Globe shall have limited put options in connection with the common stock beginning eighteen (18) months after the closing date, whereas the Company shall have up to fifteen (15) successive monthly options, with no less than thirty (30) days notice for each, which requires the Company to repurchase from Globe up to 1/15^th of the shares of common stock in Globe’s possession that were granted in connection with the agreement, at a price per share equity to the market price per share ($0.34) on the effective date of the original share transfer to Globe. The exercise of any put option is not conditioned upon exercise of any prior put option.

In accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging: Embedded Derivatives, the Company determined the put options are an embedded derivative subject to bifurcation. The put options are a hybrid instrument that are not legally detachable or a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument. If exercised by Globe Photos, the put options embody an unconditional obligation by the Company to buy back its shares for cash at $0.34 per share, the market value on the original transfer date of August 22, 2015, effective January 22, 2017, for up to fifteen months. Using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model, the Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivative on August 22, 2015, the date of transfer of the common stock to Globe, to be $75,000. The Company’s stock price on August 22, 2015 was $0.34, risk-free discount rate of 1.01% and volatility of 100% was used to obtain fair value. As of September 30, 2015 the Company determined no change in fair value of the embedded derivatives based on the Company’s stock price of $0.34, risk-free discount rate of .91% and volatility of 100%.

The Company evaluated the Asset Purchase Agreement in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations which notes the threshold requirements of a business combination that includes the expanded definition of a “business” and defines elements that are to be present to be determined whether an acquisition of a business occurred. No “activities” of Globe were acquired. Instead, the Company obtained control of a set of inputs (the acquired assets). Thus the Company determined agreement is an acquisition of assets, not an acquisition of a business in accordance with ASC 805.

Management determined the total purchase price of the assets acquired from Globe for net purchase price of $370,000 and $75,000 related to the embedded derivative, for total of $445,000 approximates fair value, based on the inputs acquired, using level 3 inputs on a nonrecurring basis. Level 3 measurements require significant unobservable inputs in determining fair value. Valuation of content provider and photographic agreements is highly subjective where values range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to priceless depending on the market for the media content. Management conducted its fair value of the Globe assets acquired based on its own analysis and experience in the industry, and consideration of other similar asset acquisition by the Company, most notably the Frank Worth and Movie Star News collections, with consideration to the price for the acquired assets obtained through a potential buyer and seller operating through an arm's length transaction. Management is responsible for the Company’s valuation policies and procedures, and process for evaluating changes in fair value measurements from period to period. Management’s allocation of fair value in connection with the Globe APA is assigned as follows:

In accordance with ASC 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company determined the content provider and photographic agreements and copyrights acquired from Globe have finite useful lives with estimated useful life of 10 years. See Note 7 of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company measures fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 – Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The 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 ASC 820 are:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of September 30, 2015 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The fair value of the assets acquired from Globe were determined on a nonrecurring basis under level 3 inputs. See Note 2 of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis was determined using the following inputs:

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s stock price was $0.34, risk-free discount rate of 1.01% and volatility of 100% was used to obtain fair value of $75,000, resulting in no change in fair value of the embedded derivative for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

A reconciliation of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows:

The Company computes income and loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are antidilutive.

A reconciliation of weighted-average basic shares outstanding to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding follows:

The Company is required to reserve and keep available of its authorized, but unissued shares of common stock an amount sufficient to effect shares due in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement and Stock-Based Compensation to Non-Employees. As of September 30, 2015, shares reserved for future issuance comprised of the following:

These shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

On August 15, 2014, pre-merger CAPA entered into a four-month agreement for strategic management services with a consultant. In connection with the agreement, the consultant is to receive compensation of 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity) and limited edition photographs for aggregate retail fair value of $250,000. The Company evaluated the transaction under the guidance in ASC 845-Nonmonetary Transactions. ASC 845 requires fair value of nonmonetary exchanges be recorded based on fair value inherent in the transaction. The Company determined the aggregate retail fair value of the prints totaling $250,000 represented the fair value of the reciprocal transfer between the Company and the consultant. The prints were earned upon execution of the agreement, and were delivered in March 2015, and included in revenues in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as of September 30, 2015.

In connection with the reverse merger on October 8, 2014, the Company determined a liability contingency for income taxes existed as of the merger date. The liability is to be reimbursed by a related party of pre-merger CAPA. This contingency has been accounted in accordance with ASC 805, which states that a liability from a contingency recognized as of the acquisition date is in the scope of ASC 450 – Contingencies, is not acquired or assumed in a business combination, shall continue to be recognized by the acquirer at its acquisition-date fair value. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, contingent liability for income taxes totaled $91,000 which has been accounted for in accrued liabilities and due from related party.

CAPITAL ART, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash balances are placed at financial institutions, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash.

On August 15, 2014, pre-merger CAPA entered into a four-month agreement for strategic management services with a consultant. In connection with the agreement, the consultant is to receive compensation limited edition photographs for aggregate retail fair value of $250,000. The Company evaluated the transaction under the guidance in ASC 845-Nonmonetary Transactions. ASC 845 requires fair value of nonmonetary exchanges be recorded based on fair value inherent in the transaction. The Company determined the aggregate retail fair value of the prints totaling $250,000 represented the fair value of the reciprocal transfer between the Company and the consultant. See Note 8 – Accrued Liabilities. The Company delivered the limited edition prints to the consultant in March 2015, which accounted for 44% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

On May 11, 2015 the Company entered into an exclusive marketing agreement with a distributor to distribute the Company’s vintage original fine art prints to fine art dealers and collector auction houses, as well as private third party collectors. Under the terms of the agreement the distributor is to receive 50% of the gross receipts from sales generated by the distributor. This accounted for 15% of total revenues for nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the three ended September 30, 2015, two distributors accounted for 42% and 13% of total revenues. No distributor or customer accounted for over 10% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015, two distributors accounted for 59% and 30% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2014 were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There is significant financial risk associated with a dependence upon a small number of distributors and customers which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements if these distributors were to leave. The Company’s intends to continue its investment in sales and marketing in order to increase distribution and demand for its products and adding content to its product lines, along with adding additional channels of distribution.

Management has evaluated subsequent events, as defined by ASC 855, Subsequent Events, through the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued. No items were noted.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. See “Forward Looking Statements” on page __ of this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Over the next twelve months the Company intends to invest its working capital resources in sales and marketing in order to increase the distribution and demand for its products. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenue and obtain additional capital to continue at its expected level of operations, the Company may be forced to scale back or discontinue its sales and marketing efforts. However, there is no guarantee the Company will generate sufficient revenues or raise capital to continue operations.

Business Overview

The Company sells and manages classic and contemporary, limited edition photographic images and reproductions, with a focus on iconic celebrity images, by acquiring ownership or rights to collections of rare iconic negatives and photographs. The Company also makes available images for publications and merchandizing by third parties. The Company intends to become the largest repository of archival pop culture photography in the online world. To this end, the Company has been and continues to search for photographic archives. The market is unknown and has not been tested, making this business similar to a start-up business. These archives may be purchased outright or the Company may enter into reproduction or licensing agreements with the owners of the archives. These opportunities are typically (1) photographers who are looking to monetize their archives, or (2) media companies that are either seeking to dispose of the archive or seeking a method to derive revenues from the archive. These opportunities exist both in the United States and abroad and the Company continues to search for value wherever it may be geographically located. However, the Company’s ability to acquire such depository is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital in order to have funds to make such acquisitions.

Such photographic assets are the basis for the Company’s competitive advantage and the company takes steps to protect such assets, including but not limited to maintaining insurance to protect against loss or theft of more than 5 times the actual value.

Significant Transaction

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Globe Photos, Inc. (“Globe”), a New York corporation, for purchase of substantially all of the assets of Globe for total purchase price of $400,000 payable $250,000 in cash and $150,000 in common stock of the Company at said market price . The common stock was to be transferred to Globe sixty (60) days after closing subject to satisfaction of successful termination of certain subagent agreements by Globe, which occurred on one deal and not the other resulting in a reduction of $30,000 less in stock, resulting in a final 352,941 shares ($120k of stock at $0.34/share). Per the agreement $180,000 in cash shall be held in reserve by the Company against Globe’s full performance and compliance with all terms of the agreement. This amount is to be released to Globe at the rate of $10,000 per month beginning August 22, 2015.

Sales and Distribution

The Company sells its photographic images and reproductions through third-party galleries, art consultants, interior decorators and directly to consumers. The Company also reproduces mass quantities of different photographs from its collection and sells through third party on-line retailers. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, through on-line retailer’s sales accounted for 94% of total revenues. The Company is continuing to pursue contracts to diversify revenues, and to develop its own website as a site for retail clients to purchase our prints but also as a portal for our interior decorator, third party gallery and charity partners. The downside is that there are a limited number of interior decorators, galleries and charity partners, which produce higher revenues than on-line sales, and while the Company is actively pursuing such contracts, its success will depend upon its ability to obtain such contracts for sales and also upon its ability to acquire a larger depository.

Intellectual Property

Most of our collection of iconic photographic images were acquired and are owned by the Company. A small percentage of the images in our collection are obtained through reproduction or licensing agreements, wherein we pay a royalty based on the percentage of revenues we receive from the use of the licensed images.

Results of Operations

Our business is in its early stages and consequently our financial results are difficult to compare from one period to the next. We expect such period-to-period differences to continue to be significant over the next several quarters, until we have a number of full years of operations.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to September 30, 2014

Our summary results are presented below:

Revenues.

Revenues for the Company by principal revenue category were as follows:

The Company derives its revenues from sales of its classic and contemporary limited edition photographic images and reproductions, with a focus on iconic celebrity images, through specialized fine art dealers and distributors, which includes, but is not limited to, third-party galleries, art consultants, and interior decorators, or directly to end consumers.

On August 15, 2014, pre-merger CAPA entered into a four-month agreement for strategic management services with a consultant. In connection with the agreement, the consultant received compensation of limited edition photographs for an aggregate retail fair value of $250,000, which accounted for 44% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company evaluated the transaction under the guidance in ASC 845-Nonmonetary Transactions. ASC 845 requires fair value of nonmonetary exchanges be recorded based on fair value inherent in the transaction. The Company determined the aggregate retail fair value of the prints totaling $250,000 represented the fair value of the reciprocal transfer between the Company and the consultant.

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Globe Photos, Inc. (“Globe”), a New York corporation, for purchase of substantially all of the assets. See Note 2 of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The increase in licensing fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to licensing of digital imagery content acquired from Globe to media companies, both directly and through a network of agents.

On May 11, 2015 the Company entered into an exclusive marketing agreement with a distributor to distribute the Company’s vintage prints to private third party collectors. Under the terms of the agreement the distributor is to receive 50% of the gross receipts from sales generated by the distributor. This distributor accounted for 15% of total revenues for nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the three ended September 30, 2015, two distributors accounted for 42% and 13% of total revenues. No distributor or customer accounted for over 10% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015, two distributors accounted for 59% and 30% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2014 were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There is significant financial risk associated with a dependence upon a small number of distributors and customers which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements if these distributors were to leave. The Company’s intends to continue its investment in sales and marketing in order to increase distribution and demand for its products and adding content to its product lines, along with adding additional channels of distribution.

As part of increasing its product offerings, the Company has been and continues to search for photographic archives that are undervalued by the market. These archives may be acquired outright or the Company may enter into representation or consignment agreements with the owners of the archives. These opportunities are typically (1) aging photographers who are looking to monetize their archive while still alive via a single large transaction, or (2) media companies that have aggregated assets (or rights to assets) and are seeking to dispose of the archive or a partner who can help them grow cash flows related to the archive. These opportunities exist both in the United States and abroad and the Company continues to search for value wherever it may be geographically located. As part of this initiative, on July 22, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Globe Photo.

However, there is no guarantee the Company will generate sufficient revenues to continue operations. The Company estimates it will need approximately $1,000,000 in annual revenues to continue operations at its current operating level, without consideration given to investment in new sales and marketing channels. For the immediate future the Company plans to achieve this revenue target by ramping up fees earned from licensing imagery to media companies growing a network of global sales agents.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had $111,331 cash on hand. At September 30, 2015 the Company has a retained deficit of $1,390,491. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company had a net loss of $1,019,419 and cash used in operations of $723,681. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Over the next twelve months the Company intends to invest its working capital resources in sales and marketing in order to increase the distribution and demand for its products. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenue and obtain additional capital to continue at its expected level of operations, the Company may be forced to scale back or discontinue its sales and marketing efforts. However, there is no guarantee the Company will generate sufficient revenues or raise capital to continue operations.

A reconciliation of weighted-average basic shares outstanding to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding follows:

The Company is required to reserve and keep available of its authorized, but unissued shares of common stock an amount sufficient to effect shares due in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement and Stock-Based Compensation to Non-Employees. As of September 30, 2015, shares reserved for future issuance comprised of the following:

These shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.
