NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New Age Beverages Corporation (the "Company") was formed under the laws of the State of Washington on April 26, 2010 under the name American Brewing Company, Inc. On April 1, 2015, the Company acquired the assets of B&R Liquid Adventure, which included the brand Búcha® Live Kombucha. On June 30, 2016, the Company acquired the combined assets of New Age Beverages, LLC, Aspen Pure, LLC, New Age Properties, LLC and Xing Beverage, LLC (see Note 3) and changed the integrated company's name to New Age Beverages Corporation. The Company manufactures, markets and sells a portfolio of Healthy Functional Beverages including XingTea®, an all-natural, non-GMO, non-HFCS premium Ready to Drink (RTD) Tea, Aspen Pure®, an artesian-well, naturally-high PH balanced, source water from the Colorado Rocky Mountains, XingEnergy®, an all-natural, vitamin-enriched, non-GMO, Non-HFCS Energy Drink, and Búcha® Live Kombucha, an organic, all natural, fermented kombucha tea. The portfolio of brands is distributed through the Company's own Direct Store Distribution (DSD) network in Colorado and surrounding states, throughout the United States both direct to major retailers and through its network of DSD partners, and in 10 countries around the world. The brands are sold in all channels of distribution including Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Pharmacies, Convenience, Gas and other outlets.
Prior to acquiring the Búcha Live Kombucha® brand and business, the Company was a craft brewery operation. On October 1, 2015, American Brewing agreed to sell their brewery, brewery assets and its related liabilities to focus exclusively on the healthy functional beverage category and the Búcha® brand. The assets sold consisted of accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid assets and property and equipment. The Company recognized the sale of its brewery and micro-brewing operations as a discontinued operation beginning in the third quarter of 2015 (see Note 11). That transaction ultimately concluded in May 2016.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full year. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2015 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis. For periods after the acquisition of the búcha® Live Kombucha brand (since April 1, 2015), our operating results are referred to as Successor. For periods prior to the acquisition of the búcha® Live Kombucha brand, our operating results are referred to as Predecessor. Where applicable, a black line separates the Successor and Predecessor financial information to highlight the lack of comparability between the periods.
Our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor) incorporate certain reclassifications necessary to remove our prior micro-brewing operations and brewery from our continuing operations and report them as discontinued operations. Further, our net (loss) income per share has been changed accordingly to report per-share amounts from continuing and discontinued operations. For all periods presented, we are reporting a net loss from continuing operations, and as a result our diluted (loss) earnings per share are the same as our basic (loss) income per share.

On April 2, 2015, the Company entered into a factoring agreement to sell, with recourse, certain receivables to an unrelated third-party financial institution. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, the Company receives an advance of 80% of qualified receivables and maximum amount of outstanding advances at any one time will not exceed $500,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), the Company repaid net advances from the factoring of accounts receivable of $6,012. The outstanding factoring payable as of June 30, 2016 was $104,651 compared to $110,663 as of December 31, 2015. The Company pays factoring interest and fees associated with the sale of receivables at the rate of 0.67% of the gross face value of the receivable for every ten-day period or fraction thereof from the date of the advance until the receivable is paid in full. Factoring interest and fees for the periods presented were as follows:

Goodwill and Customer Relationships
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. Otherwise, goodwill impairment is tested using a two-step approach.
Customer relationships are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, accumulated amortization was $104,167 and $62,500, respectively. Amortization expense was $20,834 and $41,667 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), respectively. There was no amortization expense for customer relationships in 2015 for the periods presented. Amortization expense is classified as cost of goods sold in the statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,617,288 and for the six months then ended incurred operating losses of $2,285,410 and used cash in operating activities of $253,034.

(UNAUDITED)NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF XING BEVERAGE, LLC
On June 30, 2016, the Company acquired the assets of New Age Beverage, LLC, New Age Properties, LLC, Aspen Pure, LLC, and Xing Beverage, LLC (collectively, Xing). Xing is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of various teas and beverages, which will help the Company expand its capabilities and product offering. The operating results of Xing will be condensed consolidated with those of the Company beginning July 1, 2016. Total purchase consideration paid was $19,995,000, which consisted of $8,500,000 of cash, a note payable for $4,500,000 and 4,353,915 shares of common stock. The common stock issued was valued at $1.61 per share, which was the volume weighted average closing stock for the thirty days preceding the acquisition.
The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as follows:

The above allocation is preliminary and is subject to change. Because the acquisition was consummated on June 30, 2016, the Company has begun to assess the fair value of the various net assets acquired, but has not yet completed this assessment. The Company is also in the process of identifying other intangible assets, such as customer relationships and recipes that may need to be recognized apart from goodwill. Once identified, these other intangible assets, if any, will be recorded at their fair values. The Company is working to finalize the allocations as quickly as possible, and anticipates that the allocation will not be final for approximately 6 months. Any adjustments necessary may be material to the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the amount of goodwill recognized. Any resulting adjustments would have no impact to the June 30, 2016 reported operating results.

(UNAUDITED)Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred transactional costs totaling $1,412,111, which has been recognized as expense as of June 30, 2016 (Successor). Of these costs, $1,023,756 was included in legal and professional fee expense and $388,355 was included in general and administrative expenses. Legal and professional fee expense was due to the Company issuing a total of 167,994 shares of common stock to several consultants for transactional services provided. The shares were fair valued at $1.61 per share. Legal and professional fees also include accrued transactional costs of $753,857 as of June 30, 2016, which is to be paid in cash. The general and administrative expense of $388,355 was pursuant to an employment agreement entered into during the first quarter of 2016, whereby an officer earned 1,078,763 shares of common stock upon the consummation of the Xing acquisition. These shares were fair valued at $0.36 per share, which is the Company's traded stock price when entering into the employment agreement.
The following unaudited pro forma reflects the historical operating results of the Company, including the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and those of Xing, as if Xing was acquired on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes an adjustment to remove $1,412,111 of one-time transactional costs that were expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor). These one-time costs were removed for pro forma purposes as the costs were non-recurring. No adjustments have been made for synergies that may result from the acquisition. These combined results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may have been achieved had the companies been combined as of such dates or periods, or of the Company's future operating results.

Overview
New Age Beverages Corporation, formerly American Brewing Company, Inc., (the "Company") was formed under the laws of the State of Washington on April 26, 2010. Through September 2015, we were a craft brewing company and also manufactured and sold Búcha® Live Kombucha, a certified organic, all natural, probiotic, fermented kombucha tea. We acquired the Búcha® Live Kombucha brand and the assets related to its production and sale on April, 1 2015. The Búcha® Live Kombucha brand is distributed nationally in major grocery and natural food retailers throughout North America.
On October 1, 2015, we sold the assets and various liabilities related to our brewery and craft brewing operations. The assets sold consisted of accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid assets and property and equipment. The liabilities consisted of brewing-related contracts we held, liabilities related to inventory as well as lease obligations. We recognized the sale of the brewery and craft brewing operations as a discontinued operation in the year ended December 31, 2015, in accordance with accounting guidelines.
Since October 1, 2015, we have been focusing on integrating the Búcha® Live Kombucha business, strengthening the businesses foundation and processes, improving efficiency, reducing costs, and positioning the Company as a standalone healthy functional beverage company. Our Búcha® Live Kombucha is a certified organic, all natural, probiotic, fermented kombucha tea. Our kombucha tea is brewed at our co-packaging facility located in Montebello, California.
On June 30, 2016, we acquired the combined assets of New Age Beverages, LLC, New Age Properties, LLC, Aspen Pure, LLC, and Xing Beverage, LLC (collectively, Xing). Xing is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of various teas, waters, and other healthy functional beverages. This acquisition will help us expand our capabilities and product offerings, and has significantly increased our assets as well as our liabilities. We acquired Xing's assets for $19,995,000. The purchase consideration paid consisted of $8,500,000 of cash, a note payable of $4,500,000 and 4,353,915 shares of common stock. The common stock issued was valued at $1.61 per share. To consummate this acquisition, we borrowed $8,500,000 from a bank. The operating results of Xing will be consolidated with those of the Company beginning July 1, 2016. Xing is located in Denver Colorado.
Our fiscal year end is December 31st.
Successor and Predecessor Financial Presentation
Throughout the financial statements and in this MD&A, we refer to Successor and Predecessor. For periods after the acquisition of the Búcha® Live Kombucha brand (since April 1, 2015), our operating results and cash flows are referred to as Successor. For periods prior to the acquisition of the búcha® Live Kombucha brand, our operating results and cash flows are referred to as Predecessor. Where tables are presented in this MD&A, a black line separates the Successor and Predecessor financial information to highlight the lack of comparability between the periods.
Revenue Model and Distribution Methods of our Products and Services
Our revenue model is based on selling and marketing consumer preferred healthy-functional beverages sold primarily at food, drug, mass, convenience and specialty health retail outlets in the United States. We develop, market and sell a current portfolio of products, continually innovate with new flavors and products, distribute those products and actively engage in customer relationship development, and market to connect with end consumers. Currently, our Búcha® Live Kombucha consists of ten flavors including Blood Orange, Grapefruit Sage, Guava Mango, Lemongrass Ginger, Raspberry Pomegranate, Verbena Rose, Yuzu Lemon, and the newest flavors of Elderflower Green Tea, Lemon-Lime/Ginger and Tropical Honey Blossom/Ginger. We plan to continually innovate and lead the category with new consumer-preferred and trending flavor combinations.
Our Búcha® Live Kombucha is currently distributed into approximately 2,400 stores, consisting of specialty health food stores and food, drug and mass chains including Whole Foods, Kroger, Safeway, PCC, Vons and Ralph's among others. In the past three months, distribution has expanded to approximately 400 new outlets, with no losses in distribution.
- 19 -
Búcha® Live Kombucha products are 100% certified organic, all natural, probiotic, fermented black teas made with purified water, organic cane juice, and kombucha culture. Kombucha products contain a colony of bacteria and yeast with more than 2 billion microorganisms. The product end result is rich in probiotics, B-Vitamins and other nutritional ingredients. Health benefits are mostly anecdotal but reputed to support digestion, detoxification, and boosting of overall immunity. We believe that our Búcha® Live Kombucha flavor combinations and proprietary production process contribute to an industry leading flavor profile that meets core kombucha-user needs, but also has broad-based mainstream consumer appeal without the typical vinegar aftertaste associated with competitive kombucha products.
Results of Operations
The remainder of this MD&A discusses our continuing operations of the Búcha® Live Kombucha tea business. As discussed previously, where tables are presented, a black line separates the Successor and Predecessor financial information to highlight the lack of comparability between the periods. See further discussion under "Successor and Predecessor Financial Presentation" above.

Revenues
Net revenues from the sale of our product (sales less discounts and chargebacks) were consistent for both periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), revenues were $686,740, as compared to $691,985 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor). Our gross sales have increased; however this increase has been offset by an increase in discounts and other chargebacks taken by our customers. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), total discounts and chargebacks taken by our customers increased 103.3% to $124,830 compared to $61,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor).

Cost of goods sold is comprised of production costs, manufacturing labor, freight and depreciation and amortization. Total cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor) was $600,648 as compared to $450,414 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor), an increase of $150,234, or 33.4%. As a percentage of sales, total cost of goods sold was 87.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (gross margin of 12.5%) compared to 65.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (gross margin of 34.9%). Production costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $576,018 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), as compared to $447,175 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor), an increase of $128,843, or 28.8%. As a percentage of sales, production costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, were 83.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), as compared to 64.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor).
- 20 -
The decrease in the gross margin was due to several factors, including (1) an increase in gross sales before taking into consideration higher discounts and chargebacks, (2) increased freight costs and manufacturing labor, (3) an increase in raw material and packaging supply cost without a corresponding increase in sale prices, and (4) amortization of customer relationships. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), freight costs and manufacturing labor increased 47.1% to $154,158 compared to $104,825 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor).
Acquisition accounting rules require the evaluation of the tangible and intangible assets acquired in an acquisition with such identifiable assets to be recorded at their fair market value. Customer relationships were evaluated as part of our acquisition of the búcha® Live Kombucha brand and were determined to have a fair market value of $250,000. Amortization expense is computed on a straight-line basis of three years determined to be the useful life. Amortization expense was $20,834 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor) and is classified as cost of goods sold in the statements of operations.
One of our goals for 2016 and beyond continues to be to identify opportunities to improve gross margins. Our Búcha® Live Kombucha product is currently produced via a third-party manufacturer in one location in Southern California. Our glass bottles, raw ingredients and other materials are shipped from the Midwest and other locations. Finished goods are produced and shipped nationally from the manufacturing location. We believe that there are significant opportunities to improve gross margins by reducing supply chain expenses, improving raw and packaging material costs and formulations. Plans have been implemented in each of these areas, and more are underway, but take time to execute.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor) was $2,046,187, as compared to $234,218 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor), an increase of $1,811,969, or 773.6%. The increase was attributable to (1) transactional costs recognized when acquiring Xing, and (2) the gain recognized last year upon the forgiveness of accrued payroll. General and administrative costs include stock-based compensation expense of $388,355 that pertained to a grant of shares of common stock that was earned by an executive upon the consummation of the Xing acquisition. Legal and professional fees include $1,023,756 that was incurred when acquiring Xing, and comprised of $269,899 related to the issuance of shares of common stock and $753,857 to be paid in cash. Although a non-cash expense, the value of issuing shares of common stock as payment for services has had a material impact on our operating expenses for the current period.
The forgiveness of accrued payroll was a result of the Company and two officers that agreed to forgive $500,000 of accrued officer compensation in April 2015.
Operating Expenses and Income from Discontinued Operations
Other expenses consist of interest and factoring expenses as well as amortization of debt discounts. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our notes payable carried higher effective interest rates when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. This increase in borrowing cost was in the form of increased debt discounts and the amortization thereof. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), our amortization expense on debt discounts was $47,699 compared to $10,772 for the same quarter last year (Successor).
On October 1, 2015, we sold our brewery and micro-brew operations, which has been classified as a discontinued operation. These discontinued operations generated net income of $83,172 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Predecessor). During 2016, we did not have any discontinued operations.

Revenues
Net revenues from the sale of our product (sales less discounts and chargebacks) were consistent when comparing the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 (Successor) to the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 (Successor) and March 31, 2015 (Predecessor). Our gross sales continue to increase compared to the prior periods; however this increase has been offset by increases in discounts and other chargebacks taken by our customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), total discounts and chargebacks taken by our customers was $236,245 compared to approximately $68,000 for each quarter ended June 30, 2015 (Successor) and the three months ended March 31, 2015 (Predecessor).

Cost of goods sold is comprised of production costs, manufacturing labor, freight, and depreciation and amortization. Total cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor) was $1,100,129, which was 27.3% more than the prior periods combined. The increase is attributable to an increase in production costs/labor/freight and amortization of customer relationships. This increase in cost of sales is consistent with the current quarter and is due to the same contributing factors. Our gross margins for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor) was 13.8% and 12.5%, respectively, compared to gross margins of 31.9% and 34.9% for comparable periods last year.

The increase was attributable to (1) transactional costs totaling $1,412,111, of which $388,355 was included in general administrative expense and $1,023,756 was included in legal and professional fees, and (2) the gain recognized last year upon the forgiveness of accrued payroll. Adjusting for these transactional costs and last year's gain on forgiveness of accrued payroll, total operating expenses was comparable between periods.
Going Concern
In its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015, the Company was issued an opinion by its auditors that raised substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern based on the Company's current financial position. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop and market our products and our ability to generate revenues. The acquisition of Xing in the end of the period significantly changed the Company's going concern assessment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2016, we had cash of $5,810 compared to cash as of December 31, 2015 of $43,856.
On a standalone basis, we believe that cash flow from operations will not meet our present and near-term cash needs. The acquisition of Xing substantially improved the Company's resources. With the profitability of the new acquisition, we believe we have sufficient cash and generate sufficient profitability to meet the needs of the combined operation. We estimate that our capital needs over the next twelve-month period to be $500,000, which can be funded from the profits of the combined Xing, Búcha operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company borrowed $200,000 in the form of a Convertible Promissory Note, which included warrants, from an unaffiliated third party. If our own combined financial resources and current cash-flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Current assets is primarily comprised of accounts receivable and inventories, which accounts for 95.6% and 86.7% of our current assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses, factoring payables and, as of June 30, 2016, a current portion ($4,500,000) of a note payable, which is due on June 30, 2017.
Increases in our reported assets and liabilities are attributable to our June 30, 2016 acquisition of Xing's net assets for $19,995,000. The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired as follows:

The above allocation is preliminary and is subject to change. Because the acquisition was consummated on June 30, 2016, the Company has begun to assess the fair value of the various net assets acquired but has not yet completed this assessment. The Company is also in the process of identifying other intangible assets, such as customer relationships and recipes that may need to be recognized apart from goodwill. Once identified, these other intangible assets, if any, will be recorded at their fair values. The Company is working to finalize the allocations as quickly as possible, and anticipates that the allocation will not be final for approximately 6 months. Any adjustments necessary may be material to the consolidated balance sheet and the amount of goodwill recognized. Any resulting adjustments would have no impact to the June 30, 2016 reported operating results or cash flows.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor) was $253,034, which is slightly less than the net cash used in the comparable periods last year.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by our acquisition of Xing on June 30, 2016 (Successor), whereby we paid $8,500,000, and the acquisition of B&R Liquid Adventure on April 1, 2015 (Successor), whereby we paid $400,000.
Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 (Successor), net cash provided by financing activities of $8,714,988 was due to us borrowing (i) $8,500,000 from a bank to finance the Xing acquisition and (ii) $200,000 from an unrelated party pursuant to a convertible note payable. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 (Successor), net cash provided by financing activities of $328,478 was attributable to net proceeds from factoring of accounts receivable ($115,420), net increases in notes payable ($126,858) and sales of our common stock and preferred stock for cash ($86,200). For the three months ended March 31, 2015 (Predecessor), the net cash used in financing activities of $70,874 was related to payments made on our notes payable.

Future Financing
We may require additional funds to implement our growth strategy. Therefore, we may need to raise additional capital to sufficiently support its supply chain and support the distribution of our products in the marketplace. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the company when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis should it be required, or generate significant material revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we may be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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 stockholders.
Effects of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our condolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our interim president and chief executive officer (who is the Company's principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer, treasurer, and secretary (who is the Company's principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting, described below.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2016. The ineffectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff:
(i)
|
inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and
|
(ii)
|
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes including a
lack of multiple levels of supervision and review.
|
We believe that the weaknesses identified above have not had any material affect on our financial results. However, we are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the next calendar year, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the additional accounting consultants we hired in the year ended December 31, 2015 to assist with our internal controls and financial reporting, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
