Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements.

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Banyan Rail Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1985, under the name VMS Hotel Investment Trust, for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans, principally to entities affiliated with VMS Realty Partners. The Company was subsequently reorganized as a Delaware corporation in 1987 and changed its name to B.H.I.T. Inc. In 2010, the Company changed its name from B.H.I.T. Inc. to Banyan Rail Services Inc. From 2009 to 2012, the Company operated and experienced severe losses from an operating subsidiary in the rail services sector and is now a shell company.

The Company is actively seeking acquisitions of leading companies within the transportation and medical office real estate industries throughout North America.

Liquidity and Going Concern (See Note 4) The Company’s ability to continue on a going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, raising capital and finding an operating business to acquire, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements give effect to all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, and the useful lives of intangible assets.

Cash

The Company considers all cash, bank deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash. From time to time our cash deposits exceed federally insured limits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recorded financial instruments as of June 30, 2016, consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and short-term obligations. The related fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values due to either the short-term nature of these instruments or based on the interest rates currently available to the Company.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible preferred stock equivalents.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws.

Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Retained Earnings distributions

The Company’s preferred stockholders are entitled to receive payment before any of the common stockholders upon a liquidation of the Company and we cannot pay dividends on our common stock unless we first pay dividends required by our preferred stock.

Note 4. Liquidity and Going Concern

At and for the period ended June 30, 2016, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $302,883 and incurred negative cash flows from operating activities of $265,962. The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements are dependent upon many factors, including our ability to identify and complete acquisitions and the success of any business we do acquire. We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet working capital requirements, make additional capital expenditures or to take advantage of other opportunities. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise needed capital, our growth may be impeded. In addition, if we raise capital by selling additional shares of stock, the percentage ownership of current Banyan shareholders will be diluted.

Note 5. Preferred Stock and Common Stock

Preferred stock dividends for Series A Preferred stock are accrued for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, in the amount of $25,930 and $51,875, respectively. During 2012, due to the lack of cash flow, the Company offered to pay the accrued dividends in common stock in lieu of cash. In February of 2016, we issued 29,856 shares of common stock in lieu of $29,250 of cash dividends for dividends accrued through December 31, 2015. Substantially all preferred shareholders accepted the common stock in lieu of cash and the common shares for these dividends.

As of June 30, 2016, Banyan Rail Holdings LLC (“Banyan Holdings”) and Marino Family Holdings LLC owned 2,726,114 and 3,057,778 shares of common stock, respectively.

Note 6. Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 0%. The tax rate differs from the statutory federal rate of 34% primarily due to valuation allowances recorded on the Company’s net operating loss carry forward generated during the period. The Company recorded an operating loss for the quarter and has a recent history of operating losses. After assessing the realization of the net deferred tax assets, we have recorded a valuation allowance of 100% of the value of the net deferred tax assets, as we believe it more likely than not that the Company will not realize operating profits and taxable income so as to utilize all of the net operating losses in the future.

Note 7. Earnings (loss) per Share

The Company excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation 103,750 shares issuable upon conversion of shares of convertible preferred stock that were outstanding at June 30, 2016 and 2015, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company excluded 5,000 stock options, which subsequently expired in July 2016, as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock option agreements with its directors and officers for serving on the Company’s Board of Directors and as officers. The options activity is as follows:

				Weighted Average			Weighted Average		Weighted Average
	Number			Exercise Price			Fair Value at		Remaining		Intrinsic
	of Shares			per Share			Grant Date		Contractual Life		Value
Balance January 1, 2015		27,500		$	12.92		$	0		0.1 years		-
Options granted		-			-					-		-
Options exercised		-			-					-		-
Options expired		(22,500	)	$	(2.62	)				-		-
Balance, January 1, 2016		5,000		$	10.30		$	0		0.1 years	$	-
Options granted		-			-					-		-
Options exercised		-			-					-		-
Options expired		-			-					-		-
Balance, June 30, 2016		5,000		$	10.30					0.1 years	$	-

Prior to June 30, 2010, the Company had not adopted a formal stock option plan. The number of options issued and the grant dates were determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board. Certain options vest at the date of grant and others vest over a one year period. The options are exercisable for periods not exceeding three to five years from the date of grant. On July 1, 2010, at its annual meeting of stockholders, the 2010 Stock Option and Award Plan was approved.

The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes method, which takes into account variables such as estimated volatility, expected holding period, dividend yield, and the risk free interest rate. The risk free interest rate is the five year treasury rate at the date of grant. The expected life is based on the contractual life of the options at the date of grant.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions

On June 1, 2015, the Company entered into a month-to-month office lease and administrative support agreement (the “Agreement”) with Boca Equity Partners LLC (“BEP”). The Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2015. The Agreement provides for the Company’s use of a portion of BEP’s offices and certain overhead items at the BEP offices such as space, utilities and other administrative services for $4,750 a month.

Also on June 1, 2015, the Company entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with BEP. The Support Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2015, and provides for corporate support services. The Support Agreement is for a month-to-month term and will terminate upon the Company’s payment of a success fee, should the Company acquire more than 50% of the assets or capital stock of any company (an “Acquisition”) during the term of the Support Agreement or within the one year period following the termination of the Support Agreement. Within five days of the closing of any potential Acquisition, Banyan will pay to BEP 2% of the cash purchase price paid by the Company to the seller(s) for the Acquisition.

Gary O. Marino, the Company’s chairman of the board, is the chairman, president, and chief executive officer of BEP. Gary O. Marino and directors Donald S. Denbo and Paul S. Dennis also hold membership interests in BEP.

The Company’s directors are currently not receiving cash compensation for their services, and no amounts have been recorded in the Company’s financial statements for the value of their services as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company’s board of directors and officers directly or beneficially own 6,872,375 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2016 or 6,877,375 shares, if their options are exercised.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

On July 27, 2016, the Company entered into a Demand Note and Loan Agreement (the “Note”) with Boca Equity Partners LLC (“BEP”) providing for draws of up to $250,000. Loans under the Note bear interest at an annual rate of 10% and outstanding principal and interest are due on demand. On July 28, the Company drew $75,000 on the Note to fund working capital requirements. Gary O. Marino, the Company’s chairman of the board, is the chairman, president, and chief executive officer of BEP. Mr. Marino and directors Donald S. Denbo and Paul S. Dennis also hold membership interests in BEP.

On August 8, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 220,000 shares of common stock to Donald S. Denbo, Paul S. Dennis, Mark L. Friedman, Gary O. Marino, and Jon D. Ryan as compensation for services as a director in 2016. The Company recorded compensation expense in the amount (included in general and administrative on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations) of $165,000 for the value of their services as of September 30, 2016. The compensation expense is based on the $0.75 a share market price of the Company’s stock at the time of issuance as required by applicable accounting guidance. However, the Company used a per share price of $0.25 in calculating the number of shares to issue to the board members due to: (i) the thinly traded nature of the Company’s stock; and (ii) the shares being unregistered and subject to Rule 144 resale restrictions. The issuance of the shares was made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

On August 8, 2016, Banyan Surprise Plaza LLC, an Arizona limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and RK-WEM, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“RK-WEM”), executed a purchase and sale agreement for the purchase of RK-WEM’s land, buildings, structures, improvements, intangible property, service contracts, and leases, located at 13995 West Statler Blvd., Surprise, Arizona, commonly known as Surprise Medical Plaza, for $8,700,000.

Also on August 8, 2016, Banyan Third Street LLC, an Arizona limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Signal Healthcare, LLC (“Signal Healthcare”), an Arizona limited liability company, executed a purchase and sale agreement for the purchase of Signal Healthcare’s land, buildings, structures, improvements, intangible property, service contracts, and leases, located at 2620 North 3rd Street, Phoenix, Arizona, commonly known as Third Street Healthcare Campus, for $5,700,000.

All of the transactions contemplated in the purchase and sale agreements are collectively referred to as the “Transactions.”

The purchase and sale agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. The consummation of the Transactions depends upon the satisfaction or waiver of a number of customary closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the Transactions is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase and sale agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 9, 2016, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information about us, some of which includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements about our current condition. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as “believes,” “contemplates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” or “anticipates,” other similar phrases, or the negatives of these terms. We have based the forward-looking statements relating to our operations on our current expectations, estimates and projections about us and the markets we serve. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. These statements should be considered in conjunction with the discussion in Part I, the information set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and with the discussion of the business included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 22, 2016. We have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including the following:

successfully raising capital to fund our operations;

successfully finding an operating entity to acquire;

complying with SEC regulations and filing requirements applicable to us as a public company; and

any of our other plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this report that are not historical facts.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only as of the date of this report. The risks and uncertainties listed above and elsewhere in this report and other documents that we file with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and any current reports on Form 8-K, must be carefully considered by any investor or potential investor in the Company.

Overview

Banyan Rail Services, Inc. (the “Company”) is a shell company without significant operations or sources of revenues other than its investments. Our management team is aggressively investigating potential operating companies to acquire and additional sources of financing. Currently we are actively seeking acquisitions of leading companies within the transportation and medical office real estate industries throughout North America, but we cannot guarantee we will complete an acquisition in any of these industries. Accordingly, we may explore potential acquisitions in other industries.

Our History

The Company was originally organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1985, for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans. The Company was reorganized as a Delaware corporation in 1987. From 1989 to 1992 the Company experienced severe losses as a result of a decline in real estate values and the resulting defaults on the mortgages it held. In 1998, the Company changed its name to B.H.I.T. Inc., and again changed its name to Banyan Rail Services Inc. in 2010.

On January 24, 2007, a group of private investors purchased 41.7% of our outstanding shares held by our largest shareholder at the time. Because members of our new management team have experience with the railroad industry, we began investigating acquisitions of companies in the rail industry. In the spring of 2009, we entered negotiations with the owners of The Wood Energy Group Inc. (“Wood Energy”) to acquire the company. As a result of the acquisition of Wood Energy, we were no longer a shell company. On January 4, 2010, we changed our name to Banyan Rail Services Inc. to reflect our new business. As a result of the bankruptcy and liquidation of Wood Energy, Banyan is now a shell Company seeking to acquire an operating entity.

Financing

All of the transactions contemplated in the purchase and sale agreements are collectively referred to as the “Transactions.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition is based upon our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. If these estimates differ materially from actual results, the impact on our condensed financial statements may be material.

We review our financial reporting and disclosure practices and accounting policies quarterly to ensure that they provide accurate and transparent information relative to the current economic and business environment. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting policies.

Use of Estimates

Cash

The Company considers all cash, bank deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recorded financial instruments at June 30, 2016 consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and short-term obligations. The related fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values due to either the short-term nature of these instruments or based on the interest rates currently available to the Company.

Earnings per Share

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, costs increased $17,252 or 5.9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The overall increase in general and administrative costs is primarily due to:

Offset by decrease in professional fees of approximately $12,000, and

Income Tax Expense

A valuation allowance offsets net deferred tax assets for which future realization is considered to be less likely than not. A valuation allowance is evaluated by considering all positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax assets will be realized. At the time of evaluation, the allowance can be either increased or reduced. A reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance, if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

The Company recorded an operating loss for the quarter, and has a recent history of operating losses. After assessing the realization of the net deferred tax assets, we have recorded a valuation allowance of 100% of the value of the net deferred tax assets as we currently believe it more likely than not that the Company will not realize operating profits and taxable income so as to utilize all of the net operating losses in the near future.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $0.02 and $0.03 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to net loss of $0.02 and $0.04 per share June 30, 2015. The change was primarily the result of an increase the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods respectively.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Our cash balance at June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $61,420 and $490,604, respectively.

The following is a summary of our cash flow activity:

	Six months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(265,962	)	$	(342,797	)
Net cash from financing activities	$	-		$	431,000

Net cash used in operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, cash used in operating activities was $265,962 as compared to $342,797 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The primary use of cash was to fund the normal operating activities of the Company.

Net cash provided by financing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had no financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $431,000, which was provided by the sale of common stock.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had net working capital deficit of $302,883 as compared to net working capital of $27,476 at December 31, 2015. The decrease in working capital is the result of normal operations of the Company in 2016. The Company recognizes that as a result of the lack of operations and cash flow that it will have to rely upon sales of stock or future capital contributions from investors to generate cash flow for the foreseeable future.
