PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

General

 

NightCulture Inc. "Concerts that Change Your Life" produces Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festivals and concerts in 4 markets – Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas, Texas – with world renowned DJs and artists and produces annual branded music festivals – "Something Wicked," a Halloween themed festival in Houston, Texas that drew 40,000+ fans in 2014, and "Something Wonderful," a spring themed festival in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. NightCulture has two subsidiaries Stereo Live LLC and Stereo Live Dallas LLC that operate two branded concert venues under the name "Stereo Live" in Houston and Dallas, TX.

 

We are headquartered at 6400 Richmond Avenue, Houston, Texas 77057. Our telephone number is (832) 535-9070.

 

Our Strategy

 

Our strategy is to capitalize on the global rise of Electronic Dance Music which is a $6.9 billion a year industry per a report issued at the International Music Summit in Ibiza, Spain Wednesday, May 22, 2015.

 

Capitalize on Our Existing Position in the EDM Market to Facilitate Growth and Entry into New Geographic Markets. We believe that we have a strong relationship with artists, agents, patrons and other participants in the EDM industry as a result of our history of promoting and producing EDM concerts in our current principal markets of Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. We plan to capitalize on those relationships and experience to increase the number of EDM events that we promote through expansion into new geographic markets beginning in Texas and surrounding states and selectively expanding into other regions of the U.S. market.

 

Capitalize on Venue Operations and expand our Stereo Live Branded Venue to New Markets. We believe that we are operationally ready to expand our branded venue, Stereo Live, into new markets. We currently have promotional operations in San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas, Texas and are currently looking to expand our venue operations to those markets if the right opportunity presents itself. We are currently in the process of opening our second branded Stereo Live venue in Dallas, TX.

 

Capitalize on Festival Brands. We believe the festival brands that we have invested in since 2012 are gaining significant traction. Something Wicked and Something Wonderful look to become premiere Electronic Music events in our region of the United States. We feel our festival properties have been extremely well received with our customers and are in the early stages of their life cycles. Unfortunately in 2015, we experienced weather events that resulted in cancellation of both our festivals. We are not sure how this will impact our brands in 2016 and going forward.

 

Capitalize on our Pricing Model to Achieve Strong Attendance at Promoted Events. We have developed what we believe is a unique event-pricing model designed to incentivize early ticket purchasing and to achieve consistently high event attendance. Our model is a scalable pricing model based on release of tickets to events in a staged manner with early tickets being offered at a discounted price and, as an event approaches and fewer tickets remain available, increasing prices over time. We believe that this ticket pricing strategy has allowed us to deliver high attendance levels at promoted events which benefit artists through higher ticket revenues and consumers through a better concert experience associated with events that are at or near capacity. As a result, we believe we are more attractive to artist and their agents as a promoter and, in turn, we are able to promote events that music fans desire to attend.

 

 
4
 

 

Capitalize on Low Cost Promotional and Advertising Model and Social Media Experience. We have broad experience, and have experienced favorable responses, through our promotional and advertising program focused on the use of social media. We have used a targeted marketing approach to become a destination of choice for EDM fans. Those fans access our web site to find EDM event and artist information and sign up at our web site and at events to receive notices of upcoming events via email, text messaging and social media. As a result, we have a growing base of fans that we can provide targeted event promotional materials to at a low cost using text messages, emails, postings on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, our web site and other internet outlets. We supplement those efforts with select flier distribution, poster placement, word of mouth and direct mail. Because of our ability to target promotional materials to a very specific market, we believe we are able to achieve a very high return on dollars invested in promotional and advertising campaigns as measured by tickets purchased relative to promotional dollars invested. We believe that our promotional and advertising model is fully adaptable to entry into new geographic markets and other music genre.

 

Opportunistically Acquire Promoters, Venues and Operators in Existing and New Markets. Acquisition of smaller operators' businesses is expected to be a component of our growth beyond the Texas markets. Large event promotion is generally controlled by major, national, and international promoters while smaller events are often promoted by small local promoters and hosted by small venue operators. We believe there is an opportunity to consolidate smaller operators in existing and other markets through opportunistic acquisitions. Because smaller promoters and venue operators often lack sufficient volume of events to operate profitably, we believe that many of those smaller operators would entertain the sale of their businesses for cash or stock as a means of achieving economies of scale and access to a larger pool of artists and event opportunities. We plan to selectively pursue the acquisition of smaller promoters, venue operators and other companies as a means of entering new markets and achieving greater economies of scale. We plan to acquire and operate, through lease or purchase, music venues in selected markets, initially targeting San Antonio, Austin and Dallas.

 

With the ongoing implementation of the above strategies, we are targeting growth in events promoted from 230 events in 2014; 267 events in 2015; to 285+ projected for 2016; and continued growth thereafter.

 

Our Industry

 

Electronic Dance Music (EDM) is a $6.9 billion a year industry per a report issued at the International Music Summit in Ibiza, Spain Wednesday, May 22, 2015. The DJ is the new rock star. Electronic Dance Music is the millennial generation's choice of music but has been around for decades. EDM DJs, artists, and musicians tour around the country to play their music for concerts and festivals. According to Forbes, the highest paid DJ in 2015, Calvin Harris, made $66 million. With the emergence of online music pirating and streaming, musicians no longer make the majority of their living selling music and now have to tour 200-300 days per year.

 

We operate in the entertainment and live music industries. In general, our industry encompasses concert promotion, production of music tours, venue operations, ticketing services, merchandising and related services.

 

Production of live music events or tours entails interaction of diverse industry participants, including artists, booking agents, promoters, venue operators and ticketing agents, among others. Live events or tours are typically initiated by booking agents directly contracting with performers to represent them for defined periods. Booking agents then contact promoters, who will contract with them or directly with performers to arrange events. Booking agents generally receive fixed or percentage fees from performers for their services. Promoters earn revenue primarily from the sale of tickets. Performers are typically paid by the promoter a fixed fee, a percentage of ticket sales, or a portion of event profits or some combination thereof.

 

Promoters, along with artists, managers and booking agents, set ticket prices and advertise events. Promoters market events, sell tickets, rent or otherwise provide venues and arrange for local production services, such as stages and sets.

 

Venue operators typically contract with promoters to rent their venues for specific events on specific dates. Venue operators provide services such as concessions, parking, security, ushering, ticket taking, and receive some or all of the revenue from concessions, merchandise, sponsorships, parking and premium seats. For the events they host, venue operators typically receive fixed fees or percentages of ticket sales, as well as percentages of total concession sales from the concessionaire and percentages of total merchandise sales from the merchandisers.

Ticketing services include the sale of tickets primarily through online channels but also through phone, outlet and box office channels. Ticketing companies will contract with venues and/or promoters to sell tickets to events over a period of time at prices provided to them by the venue and/or promoter in charge of the event. The ticketing company generally gets paid a fixed fee per ticket sold or a percentage of the total ticket service charges. Venues will often also sell tickets through a local box office at the venue using the ticketing company's technology; on these box office tickets, the ticketing company will generally not earn a fee. The ticketing company receives the cash for the ticket sales and related service charges at the time the ticket is sold and periodically remits these receipts to the venue and/or promoter after deducting their fee.

 

Our Business

 

NightCulture Inc. "Concerts that Change Your Life" produces (i) Electronic Dance Music (EDM) concerts – 267 shows and festivals in 2015 currently in four markets – Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas, Texas – with world renowned DJs and artists; and (ii) branded annual music festivals – "Something Wicked," a Halloween themed festival in Houston, Texas that drew 40,000+ fans in 2014 and "Something Wonderful," a spring themed festival in Dallas, Texas in its second year. Our subsidiaries operate two branded concert venues under the name "Stereo Live" in Houston and Dallas, Texas.

 

Although we promote events featuring musical talent from various music genres, we have a grass-roots cultural knowledge of the EDM genre and the EDM community and our present focus is on the promotion and production of concerts or shows with world-class EDM artists and performers. Our knowledge of the EDM genre allows us to tailor events to the different characteristics of each of the major sub-genres of EDM such as House, Electro, Trance, Trap, Dubstep, Big Room, Deep House, & Techno.

 

Securing the most popular artists is key to successful event promotion. Top EDM artists attract ticket-buying fans based on their reputations for producing the best music and delivering the best live performances. We have established relationships with artists, agents and venues, the ability to book top artists and an extensive customer database and a track record of booking major global artists and producing safe and fun events.

 

Top artist shows that we produced in recent years include: Diplo, Hardwell, Jauz, Marshmello, The Chainsmokers, Tiesto, Calvin Harris, Kaskade, Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Above & Beyond, Flosstradamus, Dillon Francis, Benny Benassi, Gareth Emery, ATB, Carnage, Yellow Claw, Deorro, Dada Life, Steve Aoki, Dash Berlin, Liquid Todd, Arnej, plus many more.

 

EDM artists and agents are selective in the promoters they book through seeking to assure successful shows, which typically strengthens an artist's position in the EDM market place while solidifying the agent's position with the artist as their primary booking agent. We believe we have a favorable reputation within the EDM artist and agent community, developed from our track record of producing successful EDM events. Because we are able to book top EDM talent, we have the opportunity to put on bigger productions (with larger budgets) and secure the best venues. These bigger productions provide us with more significant revenue producing opportunities – be it advertising, sponsorship opportunities, merchandising for the show, tickets sales and the like.

 

In addition to our EDM concerts, totaling 267 in 2015 up from 230 in 2014, we produce currently produce two annual music festivals ranging from one full day to multi-day events. On larger events, we often partner with larger major production companies such as SFX Entertainment and its subsidiaries, Disco Donnie Presents and Life in Color.

 

With the highest populated age being 22 years old in 2014 according to the Census and our target demographic being 18-34 year olds, we believe EDM is in the early stages of its life cycle. We also believe that the concert venue business is on the rise as artists, musicians, and DJs now tour 200-300 days per year to offset declining music sales revenues due to the emergence of online piracy and streaming. Record labels were not ready for this shift and ultimately there has been a shortage of venues to accommodate the increase in tours.

 

We supplement our production and promotion revenues with product merchandising at concerts we produce. Commemorative t-shirts, posters, LED bracelets, branded water bottles, phone charging stations, personal item lockers, and other promotional items are sold at events that we produce.

 

Our plans for the future of our business include

 

·

expanding our production of EDM concerts into additional markets that we identify as profitable ventures;

·

acquiring venues in our current and future markets; and

·

producing unique shows & festivals that cannot be easily matched by our competitors in the industry.

Markets

 

We presently operate in the Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin, and San Antonio, TX markets. Expansion into additional markets is expected to entail either negotiation of arrangements with venue operators or acquisition of, or partnering with, small local promoters with established operations in a target market. By adding new markets within a region, we expect to create the possibility for artists and agents to create tours in those markets, while at the same time unifying our customers across a broader region. We have developed and identified prospective markets where we can develop business, which include El Paso and McAllen, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana. We believe we could develop business in these markets in the coming years if we are able to raise adequate capital. We could also acquire venues to enable further revenue growth in our current markets. The ability to acquire new markets and open new venues will enable us to grow our business.

 

Customers

 

Our target customers are driven by the musical genre of the artists and events we are promoting. Based on our present focus on the EDM genre, are target demographic is characterized as: age 18-35; gender: 60%/40% male/female; location: 90% within 30 mile radius of host city; annual income: 70% less than $50,000; 25% $50,000 to $100,000; and 5% greater than $100,000; and education: 95% high school graduate; 60% college graduate.

 

Our target customer demographic is subject to change based on the musical genre of a concert being promoted.

 

Marketing

 

We use many mediums to get the word out to our customers, including email, text messaging, social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, flier distribution, poster placement, word-of-mouth, video, YouTube, telephone and direct mail.

 

Email marketing, social media, and text messaging are our top three mediums of advertising. These channels are used on constant basis and are the focus of most of our advertising budget. These methods have proven to be the most cost effective way to reach our target audience. We collect email addresses through ticket sales as well as attendee "sign ups" at the shows we produce. Most patrons are happy to receive information from our company since we supply the musical talent and environment that they are most likely to attend in their free time.

 

Our promotional budget varies from show to show. An advertising and promotions budget is laid out for what best suits each particular show. Shows will warrant a larger or smaller promotional spend due to the amount of interest the show is drawing. Where a particular show warrants a larger budget we may substantially increase our promotional budget to include broader channels such as television, radio, internet ads, giveaways, mall kiosks, local newspaper and magazine ads and articles.

 

In addition to advertising on our website to promote events, we seek to generate additional revenues and to create cross-marketing opportunities from the sale of advertisements and sponsorship opportunities for companies seeking to reach our demographic markets.

 

Ticket Sales

 

Tickets to the concerts and events we promote and produce are sold through multiple channels, including:

 

·

Direct ticket sales through eventbrite.com and our websites www.NightCulture.com, www.StereoLiveHouston.com, www.SomethingWicked.com, www.SomethingWonderful.com, www.FullAccessDallas.net

·

Strategic ticket retail locations throughout the city in which an event is being promoted; and

·

Independent promoters.

 

 
7
 

 

For tickets sold through channels other than our websites, we typically pay the ticket agent a fixed fee per ticket or a percentage of the ticket price. We accept all major credit cards and cash for ticket sales.

 

Ticket pricing is a critical element of a successful concert promotion. Accurately predicting a show's interest, capacity of venue, artist cost, and total show cost all factor into pricing tickets. We seek to maximize ticket revenue while selling enough tickets to have a successful show where the artist is satisfied with the attendance, the customers have a positive experience and we produce a satisfactory profit.

 

We work to keep events accessible to EDM fans with our variable price structure. This strategy includes "early bird" discounts with ticket prices increasing as sales increase and the date of the event approaches. VIP tickets grant a higher quality experience. Our ticketing strategy is intended to ensure that each event has at least 80% capacity and incentivizes customers to buy early. Once tickets are purchased, customers become a marketing vehicle through word of mouth as they encourage their friends to join them at the event.

 

Venues

 

Since 2012 we have operated a branded concert and events venue, Stereo Live Houston. This has given us a unique ability to better control the end product for the consumer, as well as increasing revenues. In 2016, we are expanding our venue operations into Dallas, TX with Stereo Live Dallas. With adequate funding we hope to acquire additional venues in other geographic markets.

 

Competition

 

Competition in the live entertainment industry is intense. We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of our ability to deliver quality music products, sell tickets and provide enhanced fan and artist experiences. We believe that our primary strengths include:

 

·

the quality of service/experience delivered to our artists and fans;

·

our track record of promoting and producing live EDM events in our target markets; and

·

our relationships with EDM industry, artists, and agents.

 

Although we believe that our products and services currently compete favorably with respect to such factors, we cannot provide any assurance that we can maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater brand recognition, financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources.

 

In the markets in which we promote music concerts, we face competition from promoters and venue operators. We believe that barriers to entry into the promotion services business are low and that certain local promoters are increasingly expanding the geographic scope of their operations.

 

Our main competitors in the live music industry include SFX Entertainment, Live Nation, AEG, Warehouse Live, Insomniac, Scoremore, Free Press Summer Fest, Afterdark, Ultra Music Festival, House of Blues, C3 Concerts, Real Music Events, Lizard Lounge, Bomb Factory in addition to numerous smaller regional companies that operate in our markets. Our competitors compete with us in all cities and locations for the following: tickets sales, artist bookings, electronic music and concert attendees, venues, sponsorships, and production equipment. Many of our competitors are larger companies with significant operations, outstanding customer service, higher profile in the industry and greater access to capital than we have. However, we have expertise in the EDM genre and we work with the leading EDM artists in the world, which helps us to be competitive in this music segment.

Government Regulations

 

We are subject to federal, state and local laws governing matters relating to operation of our venues, as well as:

 

 

·

licensing, permitting and zoning, including noise ordinances;

 

·

human health, safety and sanitation requirements;

 

·

the service of food and alcoholic beverages;

 

·

working conditions, labor, minimum wage and hour, citizenship and employment laws;

 

·

compliance with ADA and DDA;

 

·

compliance with United States FCPA;

 

·

sales and other taxes and withholding of taxes;

 

·

privacy laws and protection of personally identifiable information;

 

·

historic landmark rules; and

 

·

environmental protection.

 

We believe that we are in material compliance with these laws. The regulations relating to food service in our venues are many and complex. A variety of regulations at various governmental levels relating to the handling, preparation and serving of food, the cleanliness of food production facilities and the hygiene of food-handling personnel are enforced primarily at the local public health department level.

 

We also must comply with applicable licensing laws, as well as state and local service laws, commonly called dram shop statutes. Dram shop statutes generally prohibit serving alcoholic beverages to certain persons such as an individual who is intoxicated or a minor. If we violate dram shop laws, we may be liable to third parties for the acts of the customer. Although we generally hire outside vendors to provide these services at our larger operated venues and regularly sponsor training programs designed to minimize the likelihood of such a situation, we cannot guarantee that intoxicated or minor customers will not be served or that liability for their acts will not be imposed on us.

 

We are also required to comply with the ADA, the DDA and certain state statutes and local ordinances that, among other things, require that places of public accommodation, including both existing and newly constructed venues, be accessible to customers with disabilities. The ADA and DDA require that venues be constructed to permit persons with disabilities full use of a live entertainment venue. The ADA and DDA may also require that certain modifications be made to existing venues to make them accessible to customers and employees who are disabled. In order to comply with the ADA, DDA and other similar ordinances, we may face substantial capital expenditures in the future.

 

 
9
 

 

We are required to comply with the United States FCPA regarding anti-bribery regulations. These regulations make it illegal for us to pay, promise to pay or receive money or anything of value to, or from, any government or public official for the purpose of directly or indirectly obtaining or retaining business. This ban on illegal payments and bribes also applies to agents or intermediaries who use funds for purposes prohibited by the statute.

 

We are required to comply with federal and state laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and user data. Specifically, personally identifiable information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction.

 

From time to time, governmental bodies have proposed legislation that could have an effect on our business. For example, some legislatures have proposed laws in the past that would impose potential liability on us and other promoters and producers of live music events for entertainment taxes and for incidents that occur at our events, particularly relating to drugs and alcohol. More recently, some jurisdictions have proposed legislation that would restrict ticketing methods, mandate ticket inventory disclosure and attack current policies governing season tickets for sports teams.

 

In addition, we and our venues are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, disposal, emission and release of hazardous and non-hazardous substances, as well as zoning and noise level restrictions which may affect, among other things, the hours of operations of our venues.

Item 3 Legal Proceedings

Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Our principal line of business is promoting, producing, selling merchandise and concessions at, shows and festivals, primarily in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) genre. Since 2013, we have promoted and/or produced in excess of 400 shows and festivals. To date, we have organized events principally in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and Oklahoma City.

 

Our revenues are principally derived from ticket sales and concessions to shows that we promote and produce for which we typically receive a negotiated percentage of the ticket revenues. We typically act as agent for acts and recognize only our net share of revenues from ticket sales. In situations where we act as principal in promoting an event and take on the risks and rewards of such event we will recognize the gross revenues from ticket sales. We may also derive additional revenues associated with events that we promote and produce, including negotiated portions of revenues from merchandising, concessions and promotional opportunities.

 

Our principal costs of generating revenues are direct costs associated with promotion and production of events, including, but not limited to, venue costs, advertising, ticketing costs and costs of event support personnel.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates that are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such difference could be material. Management believes that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The following narrative describes these critical accounting estimates, the judgments and assumptions and the effect if actual results differ from these assumptions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are earned through the promotion and production of musical events and the concession sales at some of the venues. Revenue from the promotion and production of an event is recognized after the performance occurs upon settlement of the event. Concession revenue is recognized upon sale at the venues. Revenue collected from advanced ticket sales and expense paid prior to the event is booked as an asset or liability to be settled after the production.

 

We account for taxes that are externally imposed on revenue producing transactions on a net basis, as a reduction of revenue.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of beverages that are sold at venues and is stated at the lower of cost or market

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and the closing price of the company's common stock for common share issuances.

Property, Equipment and Intangible Assets

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets consist of acquired customer and vendor databases and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization.

 

Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line basis method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The Company evaluates its property, equipment and intangible assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, the Company compares the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the carrying amount of an asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company would record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

 

Goodwill and other indefinite intangibles

 

Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that impairment may have occurred. To test for impairment, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to the related net book value, including goodwill. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An income approach is utilized to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The income approach is based on the projected debt-free cash flow, which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. The Company evaluated goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2014 and determined to fully impair the asset resulting in an impairment charge of $238,674 to operating expenses. There was no goodwill impairment recognized in 2015.

 

Derivatives

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined; derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Results of Operations

 

Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2014

 

Revenue

 

Our revenues decreased by 10.4% from $6,501,353 in 2014 to $5,826,746 in 2015. The decrease in revenues was attributable to cancellation of Something Wonderful and Something Wicked festivals due to extreme weather conditions.

 

Direct Costs

 

Direct costs increased by 21.9% from $4,438,736 in 2014 to $5,410,425 in 2015. Direct costs reflect our cost of promotion and production of events.

 

The increase in direct costs was attributable to the increase in events promoted of which costs were incurred but the festival was cancelled due to severe weather.

 

General and Administrative Expenses and Other

 

General and administrative expense decreased by 11.7% from $2,508,911 in 2014 to $2,215,873 in 2015. The decrease in general and administrative expense was attributable to decrease in number of employees and the capital leasing and purchase of equipment that had been rented for venues in prior years.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 36.1% from $78,456 in 2014 to $106,745 in 2015. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was attributable to additional investments in equipment for the Stereo Live venue.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income in 2014 was $90,113 in 2014 compared to other income of $240,537 in 2015. Contributing to the difference between the years is a gain on fair value of derivative liability of $135,098 in 2014 compared to a gain on fair value of derivative liability of $432,247 in 2015, a gain on debt forgiveness of $190,000 in 2014 compared to zero in 2015 offset by interest expense of $234,395 in 2014 compared to interest expense of $191,710 in 2015.

 

Financial Condition

 

Cash, Cash Flows and Working Capital

 

We had a cash balance of $13,865 and a working capital deficit of $4,165,103 at December 31, 2015 as compared to a net cash balance of $64,293 and a working capital deficit of $2,657,261 at December 31, 2014. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to higher accounts payable due to festival cancellation in 2015 verses 2014.

 

 
15
 

 

Operations provided $68,117 of cash during 2014 as compared to $43,466 provided during 2015. The change in operating cash flows during 2015 was principally attributable to increased loss and accounts payable in 2015 over 2014.

 

Investing activities used $78,653 of cash during 2014 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $301,826 during 2015. The cash used in investing activities during 2015 was attributable the acquisition of equipment used in the Stereo Live venue.

 

Financing activities provided cash flows of $22,138 during 2014 as compared to $207,932 during 2015. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the 2015 period related to debt financing of $351,826 and advances of $50,000 from related parties offset by note repayments of $87,493, repayments of lease obligations of $57,591 and repayment of advances related party of $48,810. Cash provided by financing activities in 2014 is attributed to borrowings on debt $50,000, advances by related party of $24,560 offset by repayments of lease obligations of $37,412 and reduction of bank indebtedness of $15,010.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal requirements for capital are to fund our day-to-day operations and to satisfy our contractual obligations, primarily for the repayment of debt.

 

We believe that we will be required to either improve profitability and operating cash flow or to borrow additional funds or otherwise secure additional financing, or both, to support our operations going forward. Except as described below regarding our line of credit, we do not presently have any commitments to provide financing, if needed, to support our operations.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

During the period ended December 31, 2015 we had $301,826 in capital expenditures for equipment.

 

Debt and Capital Leases

 

Notes Payable

 

On May 28, 2014 the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to retire a note of $300,000. The shares were valued at market price on the respective date of issuance and the fair value of the shares was determined to be $150,000. The Company recorded a $150,000 gain on debt settlement for the year ended December 31, 2014. As part this agreement the Company paid $10 to the note holder for the forgiveness of a $40,000 note and the company recorded a $40,000 gain on debt forgiveness

 

On August 31, 2015 the Company issued a note to an individual for $55,000 from which the Company received $50,000 in cash. The $5,000 difference between the debt principal amount and cash received is recorded as original issuance discount. The note matures on November 15, 2015. The Company amortized the $5,000 original issuance discount during the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015 the note was paid in full.

 

On September 1, 2015 the Company issued a note payable for $301,826 which matures on September 1, 2018. The note bears an interest rate of 5% per annum and is secured by the fixtures and equipment of the Company and guaranteed by the principals of the Company. Effective October 1 2015, the Company will make 36 monthly payments of $9,055.91, which includes principal and interest is payable to the note holder. The Company must maintain a debt coverage ratio of 1:25 to 1 on a trailing four quarter basis. The debt coverage ratio is defined as the net income of the Company less any gains or losses of derivatives divided by the principal and interest payments made or to be made during the period being measured. As of December 31, 2015, the Company is not in compliance with the debt coverage ratio requirement. When the note becomes in default, the interest rate will increase to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made $36,224 payment under the note payment, including $32,493 principal and $3,731 interest. As of December 31, 2015 the balance due on the note was $269,333, which was presented as short term notes payable on the face of balance sheets due to the Company is not in compliance with debt covenant.

 

 
16
 

 

Convertible Debenture

 

On September 12, 2012 the Company issued $500,000 of convertible debentures maturing on September 11, 2015. The Debentures accrue interest at 5% per annum with a default rate of 12% per annum. The Debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at 50% of the average closing price of the 20-day trading price ending prior to the date of conversion into the Company common stock.

 

As discussed in note 4, the Company determined that the embedded conversion options in these notes qualify for liability classification and must be recorded at fair value. The fair value of the conversion options resulted in a full discount to the note of $500,000. On January 28, 2014, the Company issued 3,086,029 shares of common stock in exchange for the conversion of $78,740 of convertible debt that was originally issued in 2012 (see Note 9). During the year ended December 31, 2014, $181,409 of the discount was amortized to interest expense. As of December 31, 2014, the balance due on the note was $319,563 net of unamortized discount of $101,697.

 

On December 28, 2015, the Company entered into a debenture amendment and extension agreement with the convertible debt holder, pursuant to which the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2016 and the $110,127 accrued interest as of that date was added to principal balance.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of the term of the note under generally accepted accounting principles for troubled debt restructurings by debtors and for debt modifications and extinguishments. The Company determined that the transaction should not be accounted for as an extinguishment, and no gain or loss should be recognized as the convertible debt is considered to be derivative under ASC 815-15.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, $101,697 of the discount was amortized to interest expense. As of December 31, 2015, the balance due on the note was $531,287 net of unamortized discount of $0.

On July 2, 2014 Stereo Live a subsidiary of the Company entered into credit line facility and three equipment leases. The terms of the credit facilities and leases are as follows:

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer who also serves as our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of December 31, 2015 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. In addition, 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.

 

 
18
 

 

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management conducted an assessment, including testing, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the "COSO Framework"). A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. 

 

Based on the evaluation performed, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2015. In arriving at that conclusion, management identified as materials weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (1) the lack of accounting proficiency of our chief executive officer who is our sole officer and our principal accounting officer which has resulted in a reliance on part-time outside consultants to perform substantially all of our accounting functions, (2) a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function, and (3) lack of control procedures that include multiple levels of review, also arising from our chief executive officer's lack of accounting training and service in multiple roles as well as our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel and implementation of accounting systems.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit smaller reporting companies to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors

Nightculture, Inc.

Houston, Texas

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nightculture, Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Nightculture, Inc and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2015. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NightCulture, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated as Texxon, Inc. on October 6, 1998, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. From inception until 2006, the Company's primary focus was raising capital to exploit certain exclusive platinum processing licenses.

 

In May 2006, Texxon and the stockholders of TelePlus completed a share exchange whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of TelePlus from the TelePlus stockholders pursuant to which the stockholders of TelePlus became the majority stockholders of Texxon. In November 2006, Texxon reincorporated in the State of Nevada, changed its name to Continan Communications, Inc. and amended its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock. In December 2006, the Company executed a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. In April 2008, the Company sold all the assets of its operating division and the Company ceased all business operations and began seeking a business to acquire. In March 2009, the Company declared a 1-for-100 reverse stock split and changed its name to XXX Acquisition Corp.

 

On July 31, 2011, the Company completed a share exchange (the "Exchange") with NightCulture, Inc. ("NightCulture – Texas), a Texas corporation. Under terms of the Exchange the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of NightCulture – Texas in exchange for all the outstanding shares of NightCulture – Texas. As a result of the Exchange, NightCulture – Texas became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the sole officer of the Company resigned and was replaced by the sole officer of NightCulture – Texas, a director of NightCulture – Texas was appointed to the board of directors of the Company, the stockholders of NightCulture – Texas became the majority stockholders of the Company and the Company adopted the business plan of NightCulture – Texas. In August 2011, the Company changed its name from XXX Acquisition Corp. to NightCulture, Inc. and the Company affected an 8-for-1 forward stock split.

 

The Exchange was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization and NightCulture - Texas was considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes and XXX Acquisition the acquired company. The business of NightCulture - Texas became the business of XXX Acquisition. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Exchange are those of NightCulture - Texas and are recorded at the historical cost basis of NightCulture - Texas.

 

In February 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with NightCulture – Texas, its wholly owned subsidiary, and the holder of debentures and warrants in which the Company assumed all of the obligations under the debentures and warrants of NightCulture-Texas and the holders of those debentures and warrants agreed to look solely to the Company with respect to those instruments.

 

On May 21, 2012, the Company acquired from Michael Long and Surain Adyanthaya 100% ownership of Stereo Live, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Stereo Live"), in exchange for the issuance of one share of stock to each of Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya and the agreement of the Company to indemnify Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya against any obligations of Stereo Live that may have been guaranteed by those individuals. Stereo Live is the owner/operator of a live music venue located at 6400 Richmond Avenue, Houston, Texas. Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya are the principal stockholders of the Company and, at the time of the Company's acquisition of Stereo Live, Stereo Live was indebted to the Company in the amount of $151,500. Subsequent to the merger the indebted amount was treated as an intercompany account and eliminated in the consolidation of the companies. This transaction was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control under ASC 805-10-15. Accordingly, the historical financial statements have been adjusted retroactively assuming the transaction occurred on January 1, 2011.

On September 13, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with two individuals to acquire Full Access, a promotions and production business in the Dallas, Texas market. Under terms of the agreement, the Company paid the individuals $300,000 cash plus issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $290,000, for a total purchase price of $590,000. In addition the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with one of the sellers. The Company agreed to pay the individual $30,000 per year in salary plus 20% of the net profit from events produced and promoted in the Dallas market. The Company also entered into a two-year advisory consulting agreement with the second seller. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company agreed to pay 10% of the net received from events produced and promoted in the Dallas market. Full Access was determined to be a business under ASC 805-10 and accordingly this transaction was accounted for using the Acquisition Method. See Note 13.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 years presented have been reflected herein.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly-owned Nightculture Inc (Texas) and Stereo Live, Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Related Parties:

 

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are earned through the promotion and production of musical events and the sale of beverages at some of the venues. Revenue from the promotion and production of an event is recognized after the performance occurs upon settlement of the event. Beverage sales revenue is recognized upon sale at the venues. Revenue collected from advanced ticket sales and expense paid prior to the event is booked as an asset or liability to be settled after the production.

 

 
F-7
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and the closing price of the company's common stock for common share issuances.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The basic and diluted income (loss) per share for years ended 2015 and 2014 was:

Estimates and Assumptions

 

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and trade receivables. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such cash may be in excess of the FDIC limit. With respect to trade receivables, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

 
F-8
 

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:

 

Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due the Company from rental of the venue and payment for services provided by the Company. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days of date of the invoice. The Company provides for allowance for doubtful accounts which are amounts that the Company believes are not collectible through historic experience and the status of the accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not provide an allowance for doubtful accounts after reviewing their accounts receivable.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of alcoholic beverages that are sold at venues put on by the Company. The Company accounts for the inventory on a first-in first-out basis and completes physical inventories on a monthly basis to reconcile any variances. Obsolete inventory, if any, is charged off at the end of each month

 

Property, Equipment and Intangible Assets

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets consist of acquired customer and vendor databases and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization.

 

Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line basis method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The Company evaluates its property, equipment and intangible assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, the Company compares the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the carrying amount of an asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company would record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

 

Goodwill and other indefinite intangibles

 

Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that impairment may have occurred. To test for impairment, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to the related net book value, including goodwill. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An income approach is utilized to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The income approach is based on the projected debt-free cash flow, which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. The Company evaluated goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2014 and determined to fully impair the asset resulting in an impairment charge of $238,674 to operating expenses. There was no goodwill impairment recognized in 2015.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined; derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value, being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

 
F-9
 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $4,165,103 as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company reported an accumulated deficit of $9,679,932. The Company's ability to generate continued positive cash flows is dependent on the ability to grow its operating entity as well as the ability to raise additional capital. Management is following strategic plans to accomplish these objectives, but success is not guaranteed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 –

 Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 –

 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 –

 Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

During 2011, the Company issued debt instruments that were convertible into common stock at price equal to 70% of the average closing price of the Company's common stock. The conversion options embedded in these instruments contain no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement and as a result are classified as liabilities under ASC 815. Additionally, because the number of shares to be issued upon settlement is indeterminate, all other share settle-able instruments must also be classified as liabilities.

 

On the date of issuance, the conversion options and warrants were not readily convertible to cash and therefore qualified for equity classification. In January of 2012, the options became convertible into cash and therefore the fair value of the conversion options and other share settle-able instruments were reclassified from additional-paid in capital to derivative liabilities.

 

During 2012, the Company issued additional convertible notes and warrants. The conversion options and warrants were classified as derivative liabilities at their fair value on the date of issuance.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the gain on the change in fair value was of $135,098. During the year ended December 31, 2014, $575,040 of the derivative liability was reclassified to equity. The reclassification to equity consisted of $142,242 of derivative liability being for debt being converted to common stock and $432,798 of derivative liability being converted due to 9,401,120 cashless warrants being converted to common stock.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company uses the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to value its option based derivatives based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 127%-250%, risk free rates from 0.14%-0.26% and an expected term equal to the remaining terms of the notes or warrants.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the gain on the change in fair value was of $432,247.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company uses the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to value its option based derivatives based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 208%, risk free rates from 0.65% and an expected term equal to the remaining terms of the notes or warrants.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2015:

NOTE 7 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

On May 28, 2014 the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to retire a note of $300,000. The shares were valued at market price on the respective date of issuance and the fair value of the shares was determined to be $150,000. The Company recorded a $150,000 gain on debt settlement for the year ended December 31, 2014. As part this agreement the Company paid $10 to the note holder for the forgiveness of a $40,000 note and the company recorded a $40,000 gain on debt forgiveness

 

On August 31, 2015 the Company issued a note to an individual for $55,000 from which the Company received $50,000 in cash. The $5,000 difference between the debt principal amount and cash received is recorded as original issuance discount. The note matures on November 15, 2015. The Company amortized the $5,000 original issuance discount during the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015 the note was paid in full.

 

On September 1, 2015 the Company issued a note payable for $301,826 which matures on September 1, 2018. The note bears an interest rate of 5% per annum and is secured by the fixtures and equipment of the Company and guaranteed by the principals of the Company. Effective October 1 2015, the Company will make 36 monthly payments of $9,055.91, which includes principal and interest is payable to the note holder. The Company must maintain a debt coverage ratio of 1:25 to 1 on a trailing four quarter basis. The debt coverage ratio is defined as the net income of the Company less any gains or losses of derivatives divided by the principal and interest payments made or to be made during the period being measured. As of December 31, 2015, the Company is not in compliance with the debt coverage ratio requirement. When the note becomes in default, the interest rate will increase to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made $36,224 payment under the note payment, including $32,493 principal and $3,731 interest. As of December 31, 2015 the balance due on the note was $269,333, which was presented as short term notes payable on the face of balance sheets due to the Company is not in compliance with debt covenant.

·

An equipment lease of $32,799.75 payable over 48 months at $1,024.47 per month for total payment of $49,174.56 including the principal amount of $32,799.75 and interest of $16,374.81;

 

 

·

An equipment lease of $58,942 payable over 48 months at $1,780.05 per month for total payment of $85,442.40 including the principal amount of $58,942 and interest of $26,500.40;

Also the Company has made payment of $37,412 toward the principal balance during the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the balance due on the leases was $136,580 with $61,946 is recorded as short term debt and the remaining balance of $74,634 is recorded as long term debt.

 

 
F-13
 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has made payments of $57,591 toward the principal balance. As of December 31, 2015, the balance due on the leases was $78,989 with $31,731 is recorded as short term debt and the remaining balance of $47,258 is recorded as long term debt.

 

The note and the leases are personally guaranteed by principals of the Company.

 

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

On September 12, 2012 the Company issued $500,000 of convertible debentures maturing on September 11, 2015. The Debentures accrue interest at 5% per annum with a default rate of 12% per annum. The Debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at 50% of the average closing price of the 20-day trading price ending prior to the date of conversion into the Company common stock.

 

As discussed in note 4, the Company determined that the embedded conversion options in these notes qualify for liability classification and must be recorded at fair value. The fair value of the conversion options resulted in a full discount to the note of $500,000. On January 28, 2014, the Company issued 3,086,029 shares of common stock in exchange for the conversion of $78,740 of convertible debt that was originally issued in 2012 (see Note 9). During the year ended December 31, 2014, $181,409 of the discount was amortized to interest expense. As of December 31, 2014, the balance due on the note was $319,563 net of unamortized discount of $101,697.

 

On December 28, 2015, the Company entered into a debenture amendment and extension agreement with the convertible debt holder, pursuant to which the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2016 and the $110,127 accrued interest as of that date was added to principal balance.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of the term of the note under generally accepted accounting principles for troubled debt restructurings by debtors and for debt modifications and extinguishments. The Company determined that the transaction should not be accounted for as an extinguishment, and no gain or loss should be recognized as the convertible debt is considered to be derivative under ASC 815-15.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, $101,697 of the discount was amortized to interest expense. As of December 31, 2015, the balance due on the note was $531,287 net of unamortized discount of $0.

 

NOTE 9 – COMMON STOCK

 

On January 15, 2014 the Company issued 1,949,287 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,401,120 warrants, which were issued in 2011. The conversion of the warrants was a cashless conversion

 

On January 28, 2014, the Company issued 3,086,029 shares of common stock in exchange for a value of $78,740 of convertible debt that was issued in 2012.

 

On May 28, 2014 the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the cancellation of a $300,000 note (see Note 7).

 

On May 27, 2015 an officer and director of the Company converted $159,000 in accrued compensation and $24,560 in advances into 16,427,403 shares of common stock and a director of the Company converted $22,500 in advances and $174,315 in accrued compensation into 17,613,656 shares of common stock.

 

On June 19, 2015 the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1,144,882 and $472,206, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, accordingly, recorded a full valuation allowance.
