For the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Business and Operations

 

LiveXLive Media, Inc. (formerly Loton, Corp) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 28, 2009 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2017, pursuant to a reincorporation merger of Loton, Corp with and into LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Loton, Corp’s wholly owned subsidiary. Loton, Corp. ceased to exist as a separate entity, with LiveXLive Media, Inc. being the surviving entity. As part of the reincorporation, Loton, Corp changed its name to LiveXLive Media, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). LiveXLive, Corp. (“LiveXLive”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 24, 2015.

 

The Company is home to premier video and audio media brands and technology assets that create a social media ecosystem for music, including the LiveXLive platform. LiveXLive is one of the world’s only premium streaming services devoted to live music and music-related video content, delivering live streamed and premium, on demand original content to nearly any internet-connected screen. Since its launch in 2015, LiveXLive has streamed performances from more than 200 of the world’s most popular artists from some of music’s most popular festivals, including Rock In Rio, Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, and Hangout Music Festival. The Company’s businesses also include event marketing and ticketing platform Wantickets and social media influencer venture LiveXLive Influencers. The Company is headquartered in Beverly Hills, CA.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are ordinary and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2017 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 and notes thereto included in the 2017 Annual Report.

 

The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 or for any other period.

 

Stock Splits

 

In September 2016, the Company’s effected a 2-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s common stock in the form of a dividend. All shares and pre-share amounts have been restated as of the earliest periods presented to reflect the forward stock split.

 

In October 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All shares and pre-share amounts have been restated as of the earliest periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s condensed 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 its condensed consolidated financial statements include elsewhere herein, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,915,022 at September 30, 2017, incurred a net loss of $7,117,186, and utilized cash of $2,508,366 in operating activities for the period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent public accounting firm in its audit report to the financial statements included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s condensed 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.

 

 6

 

 

Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through November 2017. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to execute its business strategy and on its ability to raise additional funds and/or to consummate the contemplated underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, as filed with the SEC (the “Public Offering”). Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate the Company’s business, including as part of the Public Offering, however, the Company can give no assurances that the Public Offering will be completed. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any other 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 its operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

 

Revenue Recognition Policy

 

The Company has several streams of revenue, each of which is required under GAAP to be recognized in varying ways. The following is a summary of our revenue recognition policies:

 

Ticketing

 

The Company recognizes commissions and related transaction fees earned from the sale of event and concert tickets at the time the tickets are paid for by and delivered to the customers. The Company’s commissions and transaction fees are charged on a per-ticket basis and generally non-refundable. Claims for ticket refunds are charged back to the respective event and concert owners and producers and in certain cases, the corresponding commissions and related transaction fees are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s revenues at the time that such refunds are processed. The Company does not have accounts receivable associated with its sales transactions, as payment is collected at the time of sale. As amounts are collected for the tickets sold a liability is created (Due to producer) which represents the portion of the amount collected at the time of sale that is due to the venue.

 

The Company recognizes revenues from use of the Company’s ticketing platform and equipment by event and concert owners and producers. Revenue is recognized when the service has been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

 

The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-45, “Revenue Recognition — Principal Agent Considerations,” in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenues and related costs or the net revenues. Under the guidance of ASC Subtopic 605-45, if the Company is the primary obligor to perform the services being sold, has general inventory risk as it pertains to recruiting and compensating the talent, has the ability to control the ticket pricing, has discretion in selecting the talent, is involved in the production of the event, generally bears the majority of the credit or collection risk, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded gross. If the Company does not have several of these indicators, it records revenues or losses on a net basis.

 

Live Events

 

The Company recognizes revenue from its live events and 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.

 

Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company’s long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. It tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

 

An impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. If an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset will be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis will be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoring a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.

 

 7

 

 

Goodwill

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s impairment testing will be done annually at March 31 (its fiscal year end). Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of Company’s reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment at September 30, 2017.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s). Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in impairment testing of long term assets, accruals for potential liabilities, valuing equity instruments issued for services and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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   Attributable interest  
LXL Influencers, Inc.   Delaware   July 11, 2017     51 %
                 
LiveXLive Tickets, Inc.   Delaware   April 24, 2017     100 %
                 
LXL Studios, Inc.   Delaware   July 15, 2016     100 %
                 
LiveXLive, Corp.   Delaware   February 24, 2015     100 %
                 
KOKO (Camden) Holdings (US), Inc.   Delaware   March 17, 2014     100 %
                 
KOKO (Camden) UK Limited   England and Wales   November 7, 2013     100 %

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities as of reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s) then ended. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting and underwriters’ fees incurred related to the contemplated underwritten public offering of our common stock. These deferred offering costs will be charged against the gross proceeds received, or will be charged to expense if the offering is not completed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services. The Company accounts for stock–based compensation 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 at the time of the grant. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock-based 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. Stock-based compensation granted to non-employees are recorded as an expense in the period it is issued. Recently the Company issued equity awards that vest based on market conditions, and recognizes expense for those awards ratably over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied.

The fair value of the Company’s stock options is 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 options, 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.

   

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 September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had 0 and 50,000 warrants, and 2,583,333 and 0 stock options outstanding, respectively, and 1,397,013 and 1,009,442 shares potentially issuable for its convertible notes payable, respectively, which were excluded from the loss per share calculation, as they were anti-dilutive.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 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 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 July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance is to be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2017-11 in the third quarter of 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s 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 SEC 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.

Note 3 – Formation of LiveXLive Tickets, Inc. and Acquisition of Wantickets’ Assets

 

On May 5, 2017, LiveXLive Tickets, Inc. (“LXL Tickets”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Wantickets RDM, LLC (“Wantickets”) and certain other parties, whereby LXL Tickets purchased certain operating assets of Wantickets for total consideration of 666,667 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $3,340,000 ($5.01 per share). The transaction has been accounted for as an acquisition of Wantickets. In connection with the transaction, LXL Tickets entered into employment agreements with two key employees of Wantickets for a term of two years each. Joseph Schnaier was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of LXL Tickets and was to receive an annual salary of $220,000 and a bonus of 666,667 shares of common stock if LXL Tickets earns a net income of $3 million in the twelve months following May 5, 2017 or a net income of $4 million in the twelve months thereafter. In addition, Mr. Richard Blakeley was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of LXL Tickets and will receive an annual salary consisting of $160,000 in cash and such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $15,000. Effective as of July 7, 2017, LXL Tickets terminated Mr. Schnaier’s employment for cause.

 

In addition, pursuant to the APA and the Letter Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2017 (the “Letter Agreement”), entered into among the Company, LXL Tickets and Mr. Schnaier, the parties agreed that, commencing May 5, 2017, Mr. Schnaier will promptly pay for all of LXL Tickets’ net losses of its business for each calendar month (or pro rata thereof), up to a total of $100,000 per month, and for any liabilities exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate that arose from April 1, 2017 to May 5, 2017 (inclusive), until the earlier of (x) such time as the Public Offering is consummated or (b) May 5, 2018 (such earlier date as between clause (x) and (y), the “Funding End Date”), and that any salaries or other payments or amounts due under the employment agreements described above shall be included in the calculation of the net loss for the applicable period (collectively, the “Payment Obligation”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the parties further agreed that all payments made by Mr. Schnaier as part of the Payment Obligation shall be deemed to be a loan by Mr. Schnaier to LXL Tickets (the “Loaned Funds”), and that the Company and LXL Tickets shall repay to Mr. Schnaier the total amount of the Loaned Funds within five business days after the Funding End Date; provided that the Company and LXL Tickets may prepay or repay in full the Loaned Funds at any time prior to the Funding End Date without any penalty. As of September 30, 2017, pursuant to the APA and the Letter Agreement, Mr. Schnaier had paid $153,631 to LXL Tickets, which also constituted Loaned Funds, and owed LXL Tickets $117,473 as his Payment Obligation, subject to the Company potentially offsetting such Loaned Funds against other payment obligations that Mr. Schnaier may owe to LXL Tickets and/or the Company. The Company can give no assurances that the Company will be able to recover from Mr. Schnaier a part or the entire amount of such Payment Obligation or that the Company will be able to offset a part or the entire amount of the Loaned Funds against other payment obligations that Mr. Schnaier may owe to LXL Tickets and/or the Company.

 

The Company completed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired as follows with the assistance of an independent valuation firm:

 

Asset Type  Fair Value

Note 6 – Convertible Note Payable, Shareholder

 

As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had an outstanding 6%, unsecured convertible note payable (the “Trinad Note”) to Trinad Capital Master Fund (“Trinad Capital”), a fund wholly owned by Mr. Ellin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, President, director and principal stockholder, for both short and long term working capital requirements.

 

The Trinad Note was issued on February 21, 2017, to convert aggregate principal and interest of $3,581,077 under the first senior convertible promissory note and second senior convertible promissory note (the “Senior Notes”) with Trinad Capital previously issued on December 31, 2014 and April 8, 2015, respectively, each as subsequently amended. The Trinad Note is due on March 31, 2018. Before its maturity, Trinad Capital shall in its sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share based upon the Company’s current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company raises a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the note) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, Trinad Capital will have the right to convert all outstanding note principal and interest into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, Trinad Capital received 596,846 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. Such warrants were exercised on February 28, 2017. The conversion of the Senior Notes into the Trinad Note and warrants was considered to be a debt restructuring that is accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The aggregate relative fair value of the 596,846 warrants issued to Trinad Capital was determined to be $1,624,474 using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.50%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility rate of 100%; and an expected life of three years (statutory term). As of February 21, 2016, the effective conversion price was $2.73, and the market price of the shares on the date of conversion was approximately $5.01 per share. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $1,624,474. The relative fair value of the warrants and the Trinad Note’s beneficial conversion feature totaling $3,248,948 was expensed as of March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, $3,603,446 of principal, which includes $75,938 of accrued interest, was outstanding under the Trinad Note. At September 30, 2017, the balance due of $3,711,173 includes $130,096 of accrued interest outstanding under the Trinad Note. 

 

Note 7 – Non-Related Party Note Payable  

 

On December 31, 2014, the Company converted certain accounts payable into a Senior Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $242,498. The Note bears interest at 6% per annum and interest is payable on a quarterly basis commencing March 31, 2015 or the Company may elect that the amount of such interest be added to the principal sum outstanding under this Note. The payables arose in connection with professional services rendered by attorneys for the Company prior to and through December 31, 2014, and the Note had an original maturity date of December 31, 2015, which was extended to September 30, 2016 or such later date as the lender may agree to in writing. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), the Note has not been extended and is currently past due. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the balance due of $286,650 and $277,270 includes $43,152 and $34,772 of accrued interest, respectively, outstanding under the Note.

(A) On January 4, 2017, the Company issued a 6% unsecured convertible note payable to Marvin Ellin, the father of Robert Ellin, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, President, director and principal stockholder, for total principal amount of $50,000. This note will be due September 13, 2018. Before its maturity, the noteholder shall in its sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share based upon the Company’s current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company raises a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the note) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, the noteholder will have the right to convert all outstanding note principal and interest into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, the noteholder received 8,334 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The aggregate relative fair value of the 8,334 warrants issued to the investor was determined to be $22,681 using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.50%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility rate of 100%; and an expected life of three years (statutory term). As of February 21, 2017, the effective conversion price was $2.73, and the market price of the shares on the date of conversion was approximately $5.01 per share. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $22,681. The aggregate value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature of $45,362 was considered as debt discount upon issuance and will be amortized as interest over the term of the note or in full upon the conversion of the note. The balance of the unamortized discount at March 31, 2017 was $39,039. During the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $13,455 of such discount to interest expense, and the unamortized discount as of September 30, 2017 was $25,585.

(B) On June 29, 2017, the Company issued a 6% unsecured convertible note payable to Marvin Ellin for total principal amount of $50,000. This note will be due June 28, 2018. Before its maturity, the noteholder shall in its sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share based upon the Company’s current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company raises a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the note) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, the noteholder will have the right to convert all outstanding note principal and interest into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, the noteholder received 8,334 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The aggregate relative fair value of the 8,334 warrants issued to the investor was determined to be $22,681 using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.50%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility rate of 100%; and an expected life of three years (statutory term). As of June 28, 2017, the effective conversion price was $2.73, and the market price of the shares on the date of conversion was approximately $5.01 per share. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $22,681. The aggregate value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature of $45,362 was considered as debt discount upon issuance and will be amortized as interest over the term of the note or in full upon the conversion of the note. During the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $11,590 of such discount to interest expense, and the unamortized discount as of September 30, 2017 was $33,648. At September 30, 2017, $50,000 of principal, and $764 of accrued interest, was outstanding under the Note.

(A)        On September 14, 2016, the Company issued a 6% unsecured convertible note payable to a certain investor for total principal amount of $150,000. This note will be due on September 13, 2018. Before the maturity date, the noteholder shall in its sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share based upon the Company’s current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company raises a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the note) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, the noteholder will have the right to convert all outstanding note principal and interest into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, the noteholder received 50,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 per share. The aggregate relative fair value of the 50,000 warrants issued to the noteholder was determined to be $93,612 using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.90%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility rate of 100%; and an expected life of three years (statutory term). As of September 14, 2016, the effective conversion price was $1.89, and the market price of the shares on the date of conversion was approximately $5.01 per share. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $56,388. As a result, the Company recorded a note discount of $150,000 to account for the relative fair value of the warrants and the notes’ beneficial conversion feature which will be amortized as interest over the term of the note. The balance of the unamortized discount at March 31, 2017 was $109,259. During the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $37,654 of such discount to interest expense, and the unamortized discount as of September 30, 2017 was $71,605.

The notes are due on various dates through September 30, 2018. Before the maturity date, the noteholders shall in their sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share based upon the Company’s current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company raises a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the note) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, the noteholders will have the right to convert all outstanding note principal and interest into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, the noteholders received an aggregate of 205,834 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The aggregate relative fair value of the 205,834 warrants issued to the noteholders was determined to be $560,226 using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.35-1.53%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility rate of 100%; and an expected life of three years (statutory term). At the issuance of these notes, the effective conversion price was $2.73 and the market price of the shares on the date of conversion was approximately $5.01 per share, the Company recognized aggregate beneficial conversion features of $560,226. As a result, the Company recorded a note discount of $1,120,450 to account for the relative fair values of the warrants and the notes’ beneficial conversion features which will be amortized as interest over the terms of the notes or in full upon conversion of the notes. The balance of the unamortized discount at March 31, 2017 was $1,005,490. During the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $431,929 of such discount to interest expense, and the unamortized discount as of September 30, 2017 was $573,561. As of September 30, 2017, $50,419 of accrued interest was added to the principal balance.

 

(C)        Between April 5, 2016 and June 29, 2017, the Company issued ten 6% unsecured convertible notes payable to certain investors for aggregate total principal of $1,695,000. The notes are due on various dates through June 29, 2018. Before the maturity date, the noteholders shall in their sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share based upon the Company’s current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company raises a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the note) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, the noteholders will have the right to convert all outstanding note principal and interest into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, the noteholders received an aggregate of 282,500 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The aggregate relative fair value of the 282,500 warrants issued to the noteholders was determined to be $768,893 using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.35-1.53%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility rate of 100%; and an expected life of three years (statutory term). At the issuance of these notes, the effective conversion price was $2.73 and the market price of the shares on the date of conversion was approximately $5.01 per share, the Company recognized aggregate beneficial conversion features of $768,893. As a result, the Company recorded a note discount of $1,537,790 to account for the relative fair values of the warrants and the notes’ beneficial conversion features which will be amortized as interest over the terms of the notes or in full upon conversion of the notes. During the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $693,916 of such discount to interest expense, and the unamortized discount as of September 30, 2017 was $843,874. As of September 30, 2017, $45,079 of accrued interest was added to the principal balance.

Legal Proceedings

 

On March 3, 2016, Blink TV Limited and Northstar Media, Inc. (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a claim in the Los Angeles County Superior Court of California against the Company and LiveXLive, alleging breaches of two different license agreements for the live-streaming rights to “Bestival,” an annual music festival which takes place on the Isle of Wight in England. LiveXLive and the Company demurred to the complaint on May 10, 2016, and, prior to the hearing on the demurrer, Plaintiffs amended their complaint. The amended complaint no longer states a claim against the Company and only states a single cause of action against LiveXLive for the alleged breach of a single license agreement. Plaintiffs are seeking $300,000 in damages. To date, LiveXLive has vigorously contested Plaintiffs’ claims. In doing so, on December 23, 2016, LiveXLive filed a cross-complaint against Plaintiffs for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On May 11, 2017, the parties agreed to a mediation which is tentatively scheduled for October 30, 2017, and a trial date was set for March 2018. On September 27, 2017, LiveXLive was notified that Blink TV Limited is in bankruptcy proceeding in England and now has liquidators in place who are assuming the litigation. Blink TV’s liquidators will need to move for permission to substitute in as the real parties in interest. The mediation that was prospectively scheduled for October 30, 2017 has been indefinitely delayed pending the liquidators' decision of how to proceed. We do not anticipate any further developments in this case to occur until sometime in 2018.

Note 13 – Segment Reporting

 

The Company determined its reporting units in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). Management evaluated a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated.

Note 14 – Subsequent Event

 

Convertible Promissory Notes

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2017 the Company issued two 6% unsecured convertible notes payable to Trinad Capital Master Fund for total principal amount of $600,000. The notes will be due September 30, 2019. Prior to their maturity, the noteholder shall in its sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest due under the notes into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share based upon the Company’s current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company raises a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the notes) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, the noteholder will have the right to convert all outstanding note principal and interest due under the notes into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, the noteholder received 300,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, all of which were exercised as of November 13, 2017.

Amendment No. 2 to Slacker Merger Agreement

 

On October 30, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 25, 2017 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of September 28, 2017, with LXL Music Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), Slacker, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Slacker”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, in its capacity as the substitute stockholders’ agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated therein (the “Closing”), the Merger Sub will merge with and into Slacker (the “Merger”), and following the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Merger Sub will cease and Slacker will continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, the parties agreed to decrease and limit the cash portion of the merger consideration payable by the Company (after giving effect to the purchase price adjustments and repayment by the Company of any Incremental Stockholder Loan (as defined in the Merger Agreement) incurred by Slacker prior to the closing of the Merger) to $14,000,000, with the remaining portion of the merger consideration to be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable by the Company as the stock portion of the merger consideration will increase to an amount equal to (a) the quotient that results from dividing (i) $20,000,000 plus the amount by which the Incremental Stockholder Loan exceeds $500,000 by (ii) the offering price (the “Offering Price”) of the Company’s contemplated underwritten public offering of its shares of common stock (the “Public Offering”) to be registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as may be amended from time to time and as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), plus (b)(i) if the Cash Merger Consideration (as defined in Amendment No. 2) that would be payable if the stock consideration in foregoing clause (a) was the sole Stock Merger Consideration (without giving effect to the $14,000,000 closing cash consideration ceiling set forth in Amendment No. 2, referred to as the Closing Cash Consideration Target in Amendment No. 2) would exceed the Closing Cash Consideration Target, then an additional amount of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient of (A) the amount of such excess divided by (B) the Offering Price (collectively, the “Stock Merger Consideration”). The foregoing is anticipated to result in an increase in the Stock Merger Consideration by approximately $14,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock and a corresponding decrease in the Cash Merger Consideration payable at Closing by approximately $14,000,000.

 

In addition, pursuant to Amendment No. 2, the parties agreed, among other things, to: (i) increase the maximum number of additional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable to certain stockholders of Slacker that provide the Incremental Stockholder Loan to Slacker prior to the closing of the Merger for the purpose of funding Slacker’s working capital, to an amount equal to $750,000 divided by the Offering Price (rounded down to the nearest whole share); (ii) extend the date by which the Public Offering must be priced to November 10, 2017; (iii) extend the date by which the Closing must be consummated to November 17, 2017; and (iv) amend certain definitions used in the Merger Agreement.

 

Termination of Snap Interactive Merger Agreement

 

On October 31, 2017, the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 6, 2017 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company, LXL Video Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Snap Interactive, Inc. (“Snap”), and Jason Katz, in his capacity as stockholders’ agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, was terminated by Snap due to certain conditions of the Merger Agreement that were not fulfilled as of October 27, 2017, which relieved the parties of their obligations under the Merger Agreement. No termination fee was paid or is payable by any party in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement.

 

Resignation of Andy Schuon

 

In September 2017, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Schuon for a term of three years at a monthly rate of $25,000 from the effective date of his employment agreement to the date immediately prior to the closing of the Public Offering. Following the closing of the Public Offering, Mr. Schuon’s annual salary shall be at a rate no less than $500,000. Mr. Schuon shall also receive a $250,000 cash bonus within thirty days after such closing. Such bonus shall be considered an advance against, and prepayment of, any Performance Bonus (as defined therein). The Performance Bonus shall be equal to 100% of his base salary and payable in accordance with the annual bonus plan applicable to our senior executives to be established following the closing of the Public Offering. Mr. Schuon was also granted options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.65 per share (the “Schuon Options”). On November 7, 2017, Andy Schuon notified the Company of his decision to resign from his position and terminate his employment with the Company, effective 30 days from such date.

Business Overview

 

We are home to premier video and audio media brands and technology assets that create a social media ecosystem for music, including the LiveXLive platform. We are one of the world’s only premium internet networks devoted to live music and music-related video content. We intend to fill a market void by becoming a central content, information and transaction hub for music consumers and industry stakeholders around the world. Since our launch in 2015, we have streamed performances from more than 200 of the world’s most popular artists from some of music’s most popular festivals, including Rock In Rio, Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, and Hangout Music Festival. The Company’s businesses also include event marketing and ticketing platform Wantickets and social media influencer venture LiveXLive Influencers. Our content strategy includes continuing to aggregate content from Content Providers, including live event, catalog, original, partnered and co-branded, and curated content. Our platform engagement strategy is to build a compelling online experience for our users, anchored by a pioneering website and our LXL App. By executing the above strategies, we are creating a platform that is dedicated to live music and has the breadth and depth of content to reach and be relevant to a global audience of all ages.

 

On May 5, 2017, LiveXLive Tickets, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (“LXL Tickets”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Wantickets RDM, LLC (“Wantickets”) and certain other parties, pursuant to which LXL Tickets purchased certain operating assets of Wantickets for total consideration of 666,667 shares of our common stock valued at $3,340,000 ($5.01 per share).

 

On August 2, 2017, our name changed from “Loton, Corp” to “LiveXLive Media, Inc.”, and we reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware, pursuant to the reincorporation merger of Loton, Corp, a Nevada corporation, with and into LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Loton, Corp’s wholly owned subsidiary, effected on the same date. As a result of such reincorporation merger, Loton, Corp ceased to exist as a separate entity, with LiveXLive Media, Inc. being the surviving entity. We are headquartered in Beverly Hills, CA.

 

Key Factors Affecting our Business

 

There have been significant changes in the music industry over the last several years. Live music, digital music streaming and online video streaming are large and growing components of the music industry. In 2016, live music revenues exceeded $19 billion in ticket revenue, and sponsorship revenue exceeded $5 billion. In 2016, digital music streaming revenue exceeded $5 billion with over 100 million paid subscribers, which has grown from 19 million in 2012. The online video streaming business is expected to have generated over $19 billion in revenue in 2016 and has experienced over 19% growth since 2015. The number of paid subscribers at another online video streaming provider has grown from 33 million in 2012 to over 90 million in 2016. As physical and digital sales have declined, the live music business now represents the majority of the industry’s revenue. We intend to grow our business by aggregating music content and converting views to advertising revenue, subscription revenue and related revenue such as e-commerce, as well as consummating certain strategic acquisitions. We expect LXL Studios to develop original content and be a source of additional revenue.

Results of Operations

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $35,213,076. We anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial losses in the next 12 months. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of our equity and/or debt securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had total assets of $4,137,444, comprised primarily of cash of $175,888, accounts receivable of $90,787, prepayments of $275,004, net property and equipment of $126,164, $15,000 in other assets, $1,600,100 in intangible assets, deferred offering costs of $533,201 and $1,321,300 in goodwill. We sold our former OCHL Interest during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, and therefore, our principal assets as of September 30, 2017 were the operations of LiveXLive, Corp. and LiveXLive Tickets and $1,600,100 in intangible assets and $1,321,300 in goodwill. This compares with total assets of $1,556,205 as of March 31, 2017, comprised primarily of cash of $1,477,229, prepayments of $21,569 and net property and equipment of $57,407. Our principal asset at such time was the operations of LiveXLive Corp and cash in the amount of $1,477,229.

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had current liabilities of $8,052,466, comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,174,830, current portion of unsecured convertible notes, net of discount of $1,695,849, current portion of unsecured convertible notes related party, net of discount of $43,742, amounts due to producers of $105,064, convertible notes payable to shareholder of $3,711,173, due to related party of $36,158, and note payable of $286,650.

We depend upon debt and/or equity financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute its business plan. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms we may curtail our plan of operations. We will be required to obtain alternative or additional financing from financial institutions or otherwise, in order to maintain and expand our existing operations. The failure by us to obtain such financing would have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Going Concern

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report have been prepared assuming that we 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 our condensed consolidated financial statements include elsewhere herein, we had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,915,022 at September 30, 2017, and incurred a net loss of $7,117,186, and utilized net cash of $2,508,366 in operating activities for the six-month period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm in their audit report to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern

 

Our management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through November 30, 2017. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our business strategy and in our ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate our business, including as part of the contemplated underwritten public offering of our common stock pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, as filed with the SEC (the “Public Offering”), however, we can give no assurances that such offering will be completed. Furthermore, 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 us. Even if we can obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Critical accounting policies are defined as those most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates that we make include assumption as a going concern, fair value of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. We have identified the policies described in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices to our consolidated financial statements as our critical accounting policies. However, actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Revenue Recognition Policy

 

The Company has several streams of revenue, each of which is required under GAAP to be recognized in varying ways. The following is a summary of our revenue recognition policies:

 

Ticketing ― The Company recognizes commissions and related transaction fees earned from the sale of event and concert tickets at the time the tickets are paid for by and delivered to the customers. The Company’s commissions and transaction fees are charged on a per-ticket basis and generally non-refundable. Claims for ticket refunds are charged back to the respective event and concert owners and producers and in certain cases, the corresponding commissions and related transaction fees are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s revenues at the time that such refunds are processed. The Company does not have accounts receivable associated with its sales transactions, as payment is collected at the time of sale. As amounts are collected for the tickets sold a liability is created (Due to producer) which represents the portion of the amount collected at the time of sale that is due to the venue.

 

The Company recognizes revenues from use of the Company’s ticketing platform and equipment by event and concert owners and producers. Revenue is recognized when the service has been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

 

The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-45, “Revenue Recognition — Principal Agent Considerations,” in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of revenues and related costs or the net revenues. Under the guidance of ASC Subtopic 605-45, if the Company is the primary obligor to perform the services being sold, has general inventory risk as it pertains to recruiting and compensating the talent, has the ability to control the ticket pricing, has discretion in selecting the talent, is involved in the production of the event, generally bears the majority of the credit or collection risk, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded gross. If the Company does not have several of these indicators, it records revenues or losses on a net basis.

 

 25

 

 

Live Events ― The Company recognizes revenue from its live events and 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.

  

Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Our long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. We test our long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

 

An impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. If an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset will be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis will be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoring a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We periodically issue stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock-based compensation 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 over the vesting period. We recognize expense for awards with market conditions ratably over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. We account for stock-based compensation grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock-based 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. Stock-based compensation 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 stock-based compensation vests, 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, stock-based compensation grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of our stock options 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 options, 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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses described below. We had neither the resources, nor the personnel, to provide an adequate control environment.

  

Due to our limited resources, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist at September 30, 2017:

 

  we do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);

 

  we do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our limited size and early stage nature of operations, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible; however, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals;

 

  lack of independent audit committee of our Board of Directors; and

 

  insufficient monitoring and review controls over the financial reporting closing process, including the lack of individuals with current knowledge of GAAP that led to the restatement of our previously issued financial statements.

 

Prior to hiring Mr. Gold as our Chief Financial Officer in April 2017, we outsourced the functions of the principal financial officer on an interim basis to assist us in implementing the necessary financial controls over the financial reporting and the utilization of internal management and staff to effectuate these controls.

 

We believe that these material weaknesses primarily related, in part, to our lack of sufficient staff with appropriate training in GAAP and SEC rules and regulations with respect to financial reporting functions, and the lack of robust accounting systems, as well as the lack of sufficient resources to hire such staff and implement these accounting systems.

 

We plan to take a number of actions to correct these material weaknesses including, but not limited to, adding experienced accounting and financial personnel and retaining third-party consultants to review our internal controls and recommend improvements. We hired Mr. Gold as a first step in building out our accounting department and formed an audit committee of our Board of Directors in October 2017. However, we may need to take additional measures to fully mitigate these issues, and the measures we have taken, and expect to take, to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to (1) address the issues identified, (2) ensure that our internal controls are effective or (3) ensure that the identified material weakness or other material weaknesses will not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

An evaluation was performed under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) occurred during the six months ended September 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. 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. Our control systems are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered 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 our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Other than as set forth below, we are not aware of any other pending material legal proceedings.

 

On March 3, 2016, Blink TV Limited and Northstar Media, Inc. (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a claim in the Los Angeles County Superior Court of California against us and LiveXLive, alleging breaches of two different license agreements for the live-streaming rights to “Bestival,” an annual music festival which takes place on the Isle of Wight in England. LiveXLive and our Company demurred to the complaint on May 10, 2016, and, prior to the hearing on the demurrer, Plaintiffs amended their complaint. The amended complaint no longer states a claim against us and only states a single cause of action against LiveXLive for the alleged breach of a single license agreement. Plaintiffs are seeking $300,000 in damages. To date, LiveXLive has vigorously contested Plaintiffs’ claims. In doing so, on December 23, 2016, LiveXLive filed a cross-complaint against Plaintiffs for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On May 11, 2017, the parties agreed to a mediation that was scheduled for October 30, 2017, and a trial date was set for March 2018. On September 27, 2017, LiveXLive was notified that Blink TV Limited is in bankruptcy proceeding in England and now has liquidators in place who are assuming the litigation. Blink TV’s liquidators will need to move for permission to substitute in as the real parties in interest. The mediation that was prospectively scheduled for October 30, 2017 has been indefinitely delayed pending the liquidators' decision of how to proceed. We do not anticipate any further developments in this case to occur until sometime in 2018.

 

On July 17, 2017, Exodus Festival, Inc. (“Exodus”) filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, Washington, DC office (“AAA”), requesting for AAA to commence an arbitration proceeding against Wantickets and LXL Tickets, in connection with event proceeds of $155,633 allegedly owed by Wantickets to Exodus pursuant to a certain Presale Agreement For On-line Ticket Sales Services, entered into by and between Wantickets and Exodus on or about October 20, 2015 (the “Exodus-Wantickets Agreement”). Exodus alleges that LXL Tickets assumed Wantickets’ obligations under the Exodus-Wantickets Agreement pursuant to the APA, dated as of May 5, 2017, entered into by and among Wantickets, LXL Tickets, the Company and certain other persons. On August 24, 2017, the ICDR determined that Exodus has met the filing requirements by filing a Demand for Arbitration providing for administration by the ICDR/AAA under its rules and/or procedures. Accordingly, the ICDR will proceed with the administration of this matter. An arbitrator for this dispute has been selected by the parties and a preliminary hearing conference call with the arbitrator has been scheduled for November 20, 2017. LXL Tickets intends to vigorously dispute such arbitration demand and related claims, including based on jurisdictional and other arbitrability arguments, and any obligations or liability to Exodus and to defend itself against such demand and claims.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, Amendment No.4, filed with the SEC on October 16, 2017, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

On December 31, 2014, we converted accounts payable into a Senior Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $242,498. The Note bears interest at 6% per annum and interest is payable on a quarterly basis commencing March 31, 2015 or we may elect that the amount of such interest be added to the principal sum outstanding under this Note. The payables arose in connection with professional services rendered by attorneys for us prior to and through December 31, 2014, and the Note had an original maturity date of December 31, 2015, which was extended to September 30, 2016 or such later date as the lender may agree to in writing. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Note has not been extended and continues to be in default. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, $286,650 and $277,270 of principal, which includes $43,152 and $34,772 of accrued interest, respectively, were outstanding under the Note. 

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information.

 

In October 2017, we issued two 6% unsecured convertible notes payable to Trinad Capital Master Fund Ltd. for aggregate principal amount of $600,000. These notes will be due September 30, 2019. Before their maturity, the noteholder shall in its sole discretion have the option to convert all outstanding principal and interest due under the notes into our common stock at a conversion price per share based upon our current valuation, as determined by the Board of Directors. If we raise a minimum of $5,000,000 (excluding the amount converting pursuant to the note) of aggregate gross proceeds from an equity financing in one or more closings prior to the maturity date, the noteholder will have the right to convert all outstanding principal and interest due under the notes into the same equity securities issued in such equity financing at 75% of the issuance price of the securities issued in such financing. In addition, the noteholder received 300,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, all of which were exercised as of November 13, 2017.
