SPYR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (formerly Eat At Joe’s Ltd)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

 

Organization

 

The Company was incorporated as Conceptualistics, Inc. on January 6, 1988 in Delaware.

 

From 2002 to present, the Company has owned and operated one “American Diner” theme restaurant called “Eat at Joe’s (R)”. Located in the Philadelphia International Airport, Eat at Joe's, the classic American grill, is a restaurant concept that takes you back to eating in the era when favorite old rockers were playing on chrome-spangled jukeboxes and neon signs reflected on shiny tabletops of the 1950's.

 

On December 16, 2014, the Company amended it articles of incorporation and changed its domicile to Nevada.

 

On February 23, 2015 the Company issued an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of its restricted common stock valued at $1,700,000, in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of Franklin Networks, Inc., A Tennessee corporation. (“Franklin”). By virtue of the agreement, the Company acquired the assets and business of Franklin including, but not limited to: employment contracts, consulting contracts, customer lists, customer relationships, trade secrets, trade designs, technical expertise, know how, proposals, internet web domains, internet web sites, trade names, and other intellectual property, and contractual relationships with Ad Service providers (see Note 3).

 

In February 2015, pursuant to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders, the Company changed its name from Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. to SPYR, Inc. and adopted a new ticker symbol “SPYR” effective March 12, 2015.

 

On March 24, 2015, the Company organized its wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, (“Apps”) a Nevada Limited Liability Company for the purpose of expanding the Company’s digital media presence into the mobile app industry.

 

Nature of Business

 

The primary focus of the business of SPYR, Inc. (the “Company”) is digital media publishing and advertising and the development of mobile applications and games. The Company also owns and operates an “American Diner” theme restaurant called “Eat at Joe’s (R).”

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPYR, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Franklin Networks, Inc., a Tennessee corporation, E.A.J.: PHL, Airport Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, SPYR APPS, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, E.A.J. Market East, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and E.A.J. MO, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The results of operations attributable to subsidiaries are included in the consolidated results of operations beginning on the date on which the Company’s interest in a subsidiary was acquired.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of food, paper items and related materials to be sold through its restaurant and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenues from two of its wholly owned subsidiaries, which operate separate and distinct businesses. The following is a summary of our revenue recognition policies.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary Franklin Networks, Inc. we produce content for websites and attract visitors to our sites, and then sell advertising on our sites, which generates revenue. Ad revenue is recognized when the service has been provided and collection is reasonable assured.

 

Though our wholly owned subsidiary E.A.J.: PHL, Airport, Inc. we generate revenue from the sale of food and beverage through its restaurant. Revenue from the restaurant is recognized upon receipt of payment.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and cause a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income. Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets acquired, either individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination), are initially recognized and measured based on fair value. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is initially computed as the amount paid by the acquiring company in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired.

 

The cost of internally developing, maintaining and restoring intangible assets (including goodwill) that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives, or that are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a whole, are recognized as an expense when incurred.

 

An intangible asset (excluding goodwill) with a definite useful life is amortized; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized are evaluated at least annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.

 

7
 

The Company evaluates intangible assets and goodwill for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

 

At March 31, 2015, goodwill and intangible assets balances were $1,435,000 and $290,202, respectively. There were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets at March 31, 2015. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. If current economic conditions worsen causing decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have to record an impairment to our goodwill and intangible assets.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however, FASB has proposed a one-year deferral. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01 (Subtopic 225-20) - Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

 

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

 

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

8
 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted EPS 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 net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, 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.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 161,394) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Diluted net income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was calculated based on an increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming that the Class E preferred shares were converted to 3,380,663 common shares as of March 31, 2014.

 

Pervasiveness of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions used by management affected fixed asset impairment analysis, goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis, amounts of potential liabilities and valuation of issuance of equity securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with financial institutions, in the form of demand deposits. At March 31, 2015, the Company had cash deposits in three financial institutions that were above FDIC limits of $250,000. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of these two financial institutions.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

 

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The Company’s trading securities are measured at fair value using level 1 fair values.

Reclassifications

 

Certain financial position and financial results in 2014, including accounts receivable, merchant fees, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassification did not change the reported total assets or net loss during 2014.

 

In presenting the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, the Company separately reported accounts receivable of $1,093 that were previously combined with prepaid expenses and other current assets, and separately reported intangible assets of $5,000 that were previously combined with other assets.

 

In presenting the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company reclassified merchant fees of $7,419, that were previously reflected as net revenues, to other general and administrative expenses and professional fees of $147,720, that were previously combined with other general and administrative expenses, have been separately stated.

 

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are purchased with the intent of selling them before they reach maturity and are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company’s available-for-sale securities are marketable securities and have no maturity date. When sold the cost of the securities is determined using the average purchase cost of the securities and the difference is recorded as a realized gain or loss. The Company will transfer some of its available for sale securities to trading securities. When this occurs the unrealized gain or loss is immediately recognized in earnings. Trading securities are purchased with the intent of selling them in the short term. Trading securities are recorded at market value and the difference between market value and cost of the securities is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the statement of operations. Gains from the sales of such marketable securities will be utilized to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth, including, but not limited to: conducting our ongoing business, conducting strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of the Company’s business plans generally.

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price (level 1) on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

 

Change in investments in securities is summarized as follows: 

 

    Fair Value at    Proceeds from    Loss on    Change In Unrealized   Fair Value at 
    January 1, 2015   Sale   Sale   Gain (Loss)   March 31, 2015
     $             6,026,780    $               (747,489)    $                 (298,122)    $            (1,122,546)    $              3,858,623

 

Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, sales proceeds and gross realized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale securities and trading securities were:

        March 31, 2015   March 31, 2014
             
  Sales proceeds        $                747,489    $                8,176,418
  Gross realized (losses)           $              (298,122)       $                (122,122)

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

 

On February 23, 2015 the Company entered into a material definitive agreement whereby, the Company issued an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of its restricted common stock valued at $1,700,000, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Franklin Networks, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“Franklin”), a company that began operations in September 2014.

In addition, effective March 2, 2015, the Company entered into an employment contract with Mark McGarrity, a former owner of Franklin, in which Mr. McGarrity agreed to oversee and guide the Company’s information technologies related to the development and maintenance of the Company’s web sites, mobile applications, games, and advertising in connection to software development. The Company agreed to compensate Mr. McGarrity with an annualized base salary of $120,000 and a signing bonus of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $145,000. The shares of common stock contain provisions restricting Mr. McGarrity to selling no more than 5,000 shares daily for every 250,000 shares of daily trading volume after Mr. McGarrity complies with Rule 144.

 

The assets of Franklin consisted primarily of intangible assets including employment contracts, consulting contracts, customer lists, customer relationships, trade secrets, trade designs, technical expertise, know how, proposals, internet web domains, internet web sites, trade names, other intellectual property, and contractual relationships with Ad Service providers. This acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company’s management estimates that there are identifiable intangible assets, principally, the domains or websites, of approximately $265,000 with the remainder of the purchase price of $1,435,000 recorded to goodwill at March 31, 2015. The Company estimates that the intangible assets will have a life of 3 years. The Company plans to update its purchase price allocation upon completion of an independent valuation firm’s measurement and allocation of the purchase price based upon the fair value of the acquired assets.

 

The Company will amend its Form 8-K filed on February 27, 2015 to include audited financial statements and pro forma information for Franklin. As Franklin did not operate in the corresponding period in the previous year, no pro-forma financial information was available.

 

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Plan of Operations - SPYR, Inc. (formerly Eat At Joe’s Ltd) intends to maintain its restaurant operations as they currently exist and does not anticipate the hiring of new full-time employees or the need for additional funds to satisfy cash requirements for the restaurant operation.

 

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Franklin, the Company plans to expand its internet and digital holdings and operations by exploring opportunities for additional acquisitions in the digital media realm, including additional websites to expand its digital publishing presence, and entering the areas of mobile application and game development, all of which will be used to support our digital advertising and monetization efforts.

 

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, the Company is expanding its digital media presence into the multi-billion dollar mobile app industry,

 

The Company intends to utilize funds generated from available cash on hand to conduct its ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of our business plans generally.

 

The Company may also decide to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

 

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 TO 2014

 

Results of Operations - For the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company had a net loss before income taxes of approximately $3,334,000 compared to income of approximately $7,235,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This change is due primarily to decreases in the amount of realized and unrealized gains on the sale of marketable securities of approximately $8,925,000, increased general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,887,000, partially offset by increased gross margin of $93,000, increased interest and dividend income of $4,000 and reduced related party interest expense of $146,000.

 

Total Revenues - For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had total sales of approximately $432,000 and $345,000, respectively, for an increase of approximately $87,000 or 25%. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, revenues included approximately $100,000 in advertising revenues from our newly acquired Digital Media Publishing & Advertising subsidiary and approximately $332,000 in restaurants revenues. Management plans to expand its internet and digital holdings and operations by exploring opportunities for additional acquisitions in the digital media realm, including additional websites to expand its digital publishing presence, and entering the areas of mobile application and game development, all of which will be used to support our digital advertising and monetization efforts. We believe restaurant revenues will continue to fluctuate in the future as airport traffic fluctuates.

 

Costs and Expenses - Costs of sales, include the costs of food, beverage, and kitchen supplies and relates solely to our restaurant business.

 

The cost of labor increased approximately $694,000 to $786,000 from $92,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Approximately $697,000 of this is due to hiring the executive officers during February and March of 2015. Of this amount, approximately $63,000 was paid in cash and $634,000 was paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. The cost of labor is expected to increase in 2015 as a result of these new administrative compensation agreements.

 

14
 

 

The cost of rent increased approximately 2% as a percentage of sales from 2014 to 2015. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, E.A.J.: PHL, Airport, pays $14,000 per month basic rent plus percentage rent equal to 20% of gross revenues above $1,200,000 under the lease based on sales for the 12 month period from July to June of each year. Basic rent is a fixed cost and percentage rent is variable, so the total rent paid is expected to vary from year to year in conjunction with restaurant sales. Rent expense for 2015 will increase by approximately $27,000, due to the additional lease for administrative offices in Denver, Colorado beginning May 1, 2015. Also, we are currently negotiating additional square footage that will more than double our administrative office space in Denver and further increase our rent expense for 2015.

 

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1,172,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase can be attributed primarily to professional fees, which increased by approximately $1,085,000. Approximately $1,061,000 is due to the issuance of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock for employment agreement signing bonuses to one executive officer recorded at fair value of $170,000 and 2,250,000 shares of restricted common stock issued to third parties for consulting services recorded at fair value of $891,000. The remaining $24,000 increase is due to increased accounting and legal service needs.

 

Interest expense decreased approximately $146,000 from $146,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease is due to the settlement of the related party notes payable as of December 31, 2014 and management does not anticipate further borrowing during 2015.

 

The Company had unrealized losses on trading securities of approximately $1,123,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to unrealized gains of $1,685,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Unrealized gains and losses are the result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities.

 

The Company realized losses from the sale of marketable securities of approximately $298,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to realized gains of approximately $5,819,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Realized gains and losses are the difference between the selling prices and purchase costs of the underlying securities.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carry-forwards, unrealized losses on marketable securities and deductible temporary differences of approximately $2,700,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company increased its net operating loss carry-forwards by approximately $1,500,000 and used approximately $92,000 in deductible temporary differences.

 

Management believes it is more likely than not that forecasted income, together with future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, will not be sufficient to fully recover the deferred tax assets and has established a 100% valuation allowance of $1,147,000 against these potential future tax benefits. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0 and $0, respectively. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets quarterly.

 

Digital Media Segment:

 

Results of Operations – For the period since acquisition of February 23, 2015 to March 31, 2015 the Digital Media segment had net income before income taxes of approximately $38,000.

 

Revenues – For the period since acquisition of February 23, 2015 to March 31, 2015, the Digital Media segment had total sales of approximately $100,000. Management plans to expand its internet and digital holdings and operations by exploring opportunities for additional acquisitions in the digital media realm, including additional websites to expand its digital publishing presence, and entering the areas of mobile application and game development, all of which will be used to support our digital advertising and monetization efforts.

 

15
 

General and Administrative Expenses – For the period since acquisition of February 23, 2015 to March 31, 2015, the Digital Media segment had total selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $63,000, which included professional fees of approximately $17,000, digital marketing expenses of approximately $38,000 and other general and administrative costs of approximately $8,000.

 

Restaurant Segment:

 

Results of Operations – For the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Restaurant segment had a net loss before income taxes of approximately $61,000 compared to income of approximately $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This change is due primarily to decreased gross margin of $8,000 and increased general and administrative expenses of approximately $43,000.

 

Revenues – For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Restaurant segment had sales of approximately $332,000 and $345,000, respectively, for an increase of approximately $13,000 or 4%. We believe restaurant revenues will continue to fluctuate in the future as airport traffic fluctuates.

 

Costs of Sales –For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Restaurant segment had costs of sales of approximately $101,000 and $106,000, respectively, for a decrease of approximately $5,000 or 5%. Costs of sales include the costs of food, beverage, and kitchen. The decrease is attributed to fluctuations in costs of certain food items.

 

General and Administrative Expenses – For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Restaurant segment had general and administrative expenses of approximately $274,000 compared to approximately $231,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase can be attributed to increased rent of $22,000 and increased professional fees of $23,000. The Restaurant segment pays $14,000 per month basic rent plus percentage rent equal to 20% of gross revenues above $1,200,000 under the lease based on sales for the 12 month period from July to June of each year. Basic rent is a fixed cost and percentage rent is variable, so the total rent paid is expected to vary from year to year in conjunction with restaurant sales. The increased professional fees are due to increased accounting and legal service needs.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company has generated a net loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of approximately $3,334,000. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had current assets of approximately $11,237,000, which included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7,232,000, and marketable securities of approximately $3,859,000. While the Company believes it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to carryout its operating plans for the next twelve to twenty-four months, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to successfully execute its plans at the anticipated level or that additional debt or equity financing will not be needed, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has met its capital requirements through the sale of its marketable securities.

 

Operating Activities - For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company used cash for operating activities of $469,430. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company used cash for operating activities of $118,330. This change is due primarily to the payment of accrued related party liabilities of $270,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and increases in other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2015 over the three months ended March 31, 2014, including labor and related expenses, rent, professional fees, and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Investing Activities - During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received $747,489 in cash proceeds from sales of marketable securities and used cash of $40,375 for the purchase of property plant and equipment and domain names. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received $8,176,418 in cash proceeds from sales of marketable securities and used cash of $1,860,752 for the purchase of marketable securities. As of March 31, 2015, the Company owns marketable securities valued at $3,858,623.

 

Financing Activities - During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not engage in any financing activities.

 

After the completion of its expansion plans, the Company expects future development and expansion will be financed through cash flows from operations and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. There are no assurances that such financing will be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company.

Government Regulations - The Company is subject to all pertinent Federal, State, and Local laws governing its business. Each Eat at Joe's is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of authorities in its State or municipality. These may include health, safety, and fire regulations. The Company's operations are also subject to Federal and State minimum wage laws governing such matters as working conditions, overtime and tip credits.

 

Critical Accounting Policies - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets (future tax benefits) and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax return consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

 

Investments

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings. Gains from the sales of such marketable securities are utilized to fund our ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of our business plans generally.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management of the Company is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that financial information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timeframes specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, consistent with Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K.

Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Company continues to employ and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by accounting personnel. In addition, the Company evaluates and assesses its internal controls and procedures regarding its financial reporting, utilizing standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2009 Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary and on an on-going basis.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company has no reportable changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this report.

 

The Company will continually enhance and test its internal controls over financial reporting.

Finally, the Company plans to designate, in conjunction with its Chief Financial Officer, individuals responsible for identifying reportable developments and the process for resolving compliance issues related to them.
