LAS VEGAS RAILWAY EXPRESS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENDED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013
 (Unaudited)
 
 
(1)           Organization and basis of presentation

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2015 or any other future period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $6,984,301 for the six months ended September 30, 2014. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $38,611,947, and a negative working capital of $5,168,558 as of September 30, 2014, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $3,168,547. Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement its business plan. Given the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
 (2)           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Risks and Uncertainties:

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and potential government regulations.  Significant changes in regulations and the inability of the Company to establish contracts with rail services providers could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s operations.
 
Use of Estimates:

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 of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service.  The Company expenses all purchases of equipment with individual costs of under $500, and these amounts are not material to the financial statements.

 
6

 
 
Long-Lived Assets:

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  The Company’s management believes there has been no impairment of its long-lived assets during the six months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s business model will continue.  Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.
 
Income Taxes:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.
 
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of September 30, 2014, and March 31, 2014, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.
 
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share:

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 260, “Earnings per Share,” the basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock.  Common stock equivalents have not been included in the earnings per share computation for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, and 2013 as the amounts are anti-dilutive.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company had 2,266,073 outstanding stock options, convertible debt of $3,168,547, before debt discount of $381,815, and 9,070,650 of outstanding warrants, which were all excluded from the computation as they were anti-dilutive.

Share Based Payment:

The Company issues stock, option, and warrants as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.
 
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance FASB ASC 718.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 “Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.
 
 
7

 
 
The Company values stock compensation based on the market price on the measurement date. As described above, for employees this is the date of grant, and for non-employees, this is the date of performance completion.

The Company values stock options and warrants that do not qualify as derivative instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value options and warrants issued during the six months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows.  There were no options or warrants granted during the six months ended September 30, 2013 that were valued using the Black-Scholes model.

Derivative Liabilities:

In connection with the private placement of convertible notes beginning in February 2013, the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares of common stock in excess of our then maximum of 200 million shares of authorized common stock under the Company’s certificate of incorporation.  Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition created a derivative liability.
 
The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

On December 2, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock shares.  As a result, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock and common stock equivalents no longer exceeded the number of authorized shares.  As a result, as of December 2, 2013, these instruments that were accounted for as derivative liabilities were reclassified as equity.
 
The Company also has certain warrants and embedded conversion options in notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and four outstanding notes payable that had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.
 
The Company values these warrants and embedded conversion options in notes payable using the Black-Scholes model.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the condensed statement of operations.

In determining the appropriate fair value of the derivative liabilities, the Company used the following input levels for its valuation methodology(see Note 6 for more information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments).

The above warrants issued with respect to the Purchase Agreement and Typenex Note described above have anti-dilution clauses and variable exercise rates that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and all of the outstanding convertible note balances described above have variable conversion features that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.  As a result, the Company accounts for both the conversion feature associated with these notes and the warrants as derivatives.  The Company values these warrants and conversion features using the Black-Scholes method.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, notes payable and derivative liabilities.  Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value.  The principal balance of notes payable approximates fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

(6)           Derivative Instruments

Excess Shares

In connection with the private placement of convertible notes beginning in February 2013, the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares of common stock in excess of our then maximum of 200 million shares of authorized common stock under the Company’s certificate of incorporation.  Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative liability.

The Company had a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split or anti-dilution, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to November 30, 2012 were classified as derivative liabilities. On December 2, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock shares.  As a result, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock and common stock equivalents no longer exceeded the number of authorized shares.  As a result, as of December 2, 2013, these instruments that were accounted for as derivative liabilities were reclassified as equity.

Other Derivatives
 
The Company has certain warrants and convertible notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and the convertible notes payables have variable conversion features that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.
 
The September 30, 2014 derivative liability was valued using the Black-Scholes model, the September 30, 2013 derivative liability was valued the binomial lattice method, with the following inputs used for each respective period.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about the Company's business, financial condition and prospects that reflect management's assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available. There can be no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of management's assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc., actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward- looking statements.
 
The key factors that are not within the Company's control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, managements' ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry, as well as the risk factors identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on June 30, 2014.

When used in this Report, words such as, "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify and qualify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions. However, the forward-looking statements contained herein are not covered by the safe harbors created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Business Overview
 
The Company’s business plan is one of developing passenger rail transportation and ancillary ticketing and reservation services between the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas, Nevada. In November 2012, the Company executed an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad which allowed the Company to operate its passenger service on their property from Daggett, California to Las Vegas, a distance of 175.8 miles.  In May 2013, the Company and Amtrak, which was planning to haul the Company’s rail cars from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in regular service, was informed by BNSF Railway (“BNSF”) that it would not approve Amtrak’s request to operate on the BNSF system via Cajon Pass. The Company is currently seeking to operate the X train over a Western Alignment as recommended by the RTC, which suggests traveling north from LA Union Station to Mojave, California, and then East on the BNSF to Daggett, California and then North again on the originally planned route over the UPRR.

Our assessment is that when we started, BNSF had 3,000 locomotives in mothballs and 2,000 crews furloughed. Traffic through Cajon Pass was at 86 trains per day with a total capacity of 160 trains per day. In short, they had capacity.  Today, all locomotives are back in service and BNSF is leasing 1,000 more. Oil is being hauled over this corridor and capacity is at a premium with 120+ trains per day over the pass. With pending capacity issues, BNSF is reserving its rail franchise for freight and has closed off any access via the Cajon pass.
 
On April 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with the Santa Fe Southern Railway, located in Santa Fe New Mexico, to manage the passenger services on the railroad. The Company has added its Club X cars to the train consists in Santa Fe. Operations on the route began in August 2014.  Subsequent routes will follow with a similar deployment format.
 
The Company owns outright a series of 16 bi-level passenger railcars as well as two leased cars acquired through an agreement with Mid America Leasing Company. These cars are planned for use in the deployment of cars on our LA to Vegas route. The first two cars have been completed and are in service on the Santa Fe Southern Railway. The remaining cars are scheduled to be refurbished during the remainder of 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed financial statements and notes thereto requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported within those financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets, contingencies, litigation and income taxes.  Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results under circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in differences from the estimated amounts in the financial statements. There have been no material changes to these policies during the fiscal year.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased by $50,547, or 100% during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and equaled to 48% of gross revenue earned and represents cost of food and beverage.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Compensation expense increased by $326,654, or 106.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013.  The increase in compensation expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to the issuance of stock options to employees and Board members resulting in additional expenses of $455,535.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $483,752, or 55.6%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to write off of UP deposit of $600,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2013. Otherwise the expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 were higher due to advertising and repair maintenance expenses.   Professional fees decreased by $109,362, or 30.2%, during 2014 as compared to 2013 due primarily to decreases in legal fees, consulting services and accounting expenses.  
 
Other (Expense) Income
 
Interest expense decreased by $278,897, or 27.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.  The conversion feature associated with the convertible notes and the value of warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes have been accounted for as discounts to the convertible notes payable.  The discount is being amortized into interest expense over the maturity date of the convertible notes.  This resulted in additional interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $951,000.  We had no additional interest expense from the amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs in 2014.

The change in value of the derivative liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $450,597, which represents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities since the year ended March 31, 2014.  The change in value of the derivative liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to $3,959,890, which represents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities since the year ended March 31, 2013.  The decrease in the value of the derivative liabilities during these periods was primarily due to the decline of our stock price during the period, which has driven the reduction in value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support asset growth, satisfy disbursement needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. The Company has limited operating revenues and is currently dependent on debt financing and sale of equity to fund operations. 
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $2,430,583 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $6,984,301 for the six months ended September 30, 2014.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $38,611,947 and a negative working capital of $5,168,558 as of September 30, 2014, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $3,168,547.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement its business plan.  Given the lack of significant revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 
22

 
 
We believe that the successful growth and operation of our business is dependent upon our ability to do the following:
 
· 
obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to acquire existing passenger rail operations; and
   
· 
manage or control working capital requirements by controlling operating expenses.
 
Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to acquire several operating passenger rail operations which will sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability.  The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
 
Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $1,789,855 and $1,989,576, respectively.  Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were primarily due to net losses of $6,984,302 and $1,815,774, respectively.  During the six months ended September 30, 2014, the net loss included significant non-cash expenses of $594,090 in stock issued for services and $497,854 in stock issued for debt, $29,592 in amortization of discounts on notes payable, and $2,671,898 in stock option compensation.  During the six months ended September 30, 2013, the net loss included significant non-cash expenses of $600,000 for impairment of Union Pacific deposit, $366,528 in amortization of debt offering costs, and $3,045,414 in amortization of discounts on notes payable.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $39,546, which represented property and equipment acquisitions primarily related to the acquisition of rail cars and related costs.  Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2013 was $105,565 primarily due to the acquisition of rail cars and other capitalized costs towards the railroad project. 
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $1.746,066 which consisted of $1,280,679 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, $59,000 in proceeds from related party notes payable, $405,300 in stock subscribed and $1,087 from the exercise of stock options.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was $880,000 which consisted of proceeds from convertible notes payable.
