(1)           Organization and basis of presentation

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of X Rail Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any other future period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $2,608,267 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $10,547,428, and a negative working capital of $1,094,242 as of September 30, 2017, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $509,600, before debt discount of $205,224.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement its business plan.  Given the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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

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

 (2)           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Risks and Uncertainties:

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

 

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service.  The Company expenses all purchases of equipment with individual costs of under $500, and these amounts are not material to the financial statements. As of September 30, 2017, we recorded the rail cars on the balance sheet at $125,000 with no accumulated depreciation. The rail cars are currently not depreciated as they are not in service and not ready to run. The rail cars require substantial investment to retrofit. The Company expensed the carrying value of 10 rail cars as they were exchanged for unpaid storage charges. The amount written off was $629,270 as of September 30, 2017.

Long-Lived Assets:

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  The Company's management believes there has been no impairment of its long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, or 2016.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company's business model will continue.  Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

 

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits.  As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share:

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") 260, "Earnings per Share," the basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock.  Common stock equivalents have not been included in the earnings per share computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016 as the amounts are anti-dilutive.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had 14,978,000 outstanding warrants and convertible debt of $509,600, before debt discount of $205,224, which were all excluded from the computation as they were anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 9,000,000 outstanding warrants and convertible debt of $572,500, before debt discount of $361,554, which were all excluded from the computation as they were anti-dilutive.

 

Share Based Payment:

The Company issues stock, options, and warrants as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

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

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

 

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

The Company values warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value options and warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were as follows.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

There are no new significant accounting standards applicable to the Company that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company as of September 30, 2017, and through the date of this filing.

 

(3)            Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following.

 

(4)           Related Party Notes Payable

A summary of outstanding notes payable is as follows:

 

(5)           Convertible Notes Payable

The following summarizes the book value of the convertible notes payable outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

 

*These promissory notes were converted on November 8, 2017. The company issued total 66,967,499 shares of restricted common stock for conversion of promissory notes of $410,000 and corresponding interest of $59,675.

** The promissory note conversion was executed on November 13, 2017. 8,050,000 shares of common stock to be issued for conversion of promissory note and 3,438,112 shares of common stock to be issued for accrued interest.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

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

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

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

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

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

 

(6)           Derivative Instruments

The Company has a convertible note payable with elements that qualify as derivatives as the convertible note payable has variable conversion features (see note 5).

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

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about the Company's business, financial condition and prospects that reflect management's assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available. There can be no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of management's assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, X Rail Entertainment, Inc., actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward- looking statements.

 

The key factors that are not within the Company's control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, managements' ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry, as well as the risk factors identified in the Company's filings.

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

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

Business Overview

 

X Rail Entertainment, Inc. is in the specialty passenger train business and has three operating divisions, The X Train, currently in the planning stages, will be an excursion railroad between metropolitan areas and resort/casino destinations, X Wine Railroads, which is a rail excursion from metropolitan areas to wine regions, and Club X Train, currently in the planning stages, will be a riders membership club for X Train customers.

X Train

The X Train will be an excursion passenger rail service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. We expect service to begin in late 2017. XREE plans to have its casino guests ride the exclusive train service and to manage the host activity of its guests throughout their stay in the resort/casino. We anticipate that, in addition to the service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, future X Train runs will be added in the coming years.

We expect to operate the X Train as an Amtrak train listed on the Amtrak national timetable. X Train will provide a complete bundled package of services including ticket, rooms and transfers to & from the station and weekend events such as access to nightclubs, golf outings and restaurants. It will be scheduled as a Friday through Sunday service with passengers in Los Angeles boarding the train at Union Station and arriving at a new station to be built in Las Vegas and owned and operated by the X Train. Only the X Train will be able to use our station in Las Vegas. A typical X Train will carry 10 passenger cars and will include food service and will carry, on average 500 passengers per trip. This number can be increased by adding more cars to the route.

Our LA to Vegas business plan emanates from a regional transportation feasibility study published in 2007, which suggested that a well-run rail service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas could garner up to 30% of the approximately 12 million passengers who regularly drive between these two metropolitan areas. See: www.rtcsouthernnevada.com. We believe that with our current business plan, we would be able to break-even, on an operating basis, with approximately 20,000 riders per year.

To commence commercial service of the Las Angeles to Las Vegas route, we will need to negotiate and secure the necessary rights, equipment and facilities. These items include: securing a regularly scheduled train agreement from Amtrak to operate our excursion service on a weekly basis beginning with one round trip train per week and increasing to six round trips per week over the next several years as demand dictates, securing operating rights to run our trains over tracks owned by private railroads, obtaining the capability to operate train equipment safely and in conformity with applicable government regulations, and purchasing or leasing appropriate locomotive and passenger cars designed to move passengers over the route in comfort and securing leases on terminal facilities and passenger depots in Los Angeles and in Las Vegas. We expect the X Train to begin running in first quarter of 2018.

X Wine Railroad

The Company's X Wine Railroad service from LA Union Station to Santa Barbara California runs on a scheduled basis, once a month on Saturdays, with individual riders (retail) as well as charters for corporate outings and special events. It began running from February 2017 to May 2017 and then again on November 4, 2017. One additional run is planned for December 2, 2017 and service is planned to run in 2018 from February to November. The X Wine Railroad provides a unique wine tasting experience to riders who take the train aboard special period classic railcars and an excursion to the Los Olivos wine area of Southern California. Over 250 private wineries reside in the area and the X Wine Railroad provides private access to these vineyards on an exclusive basis. Ticket prices are $369 per person, all inclusive. X Wine Railroad provides an all-inclusive day trip including a gourmet breakfast, wine tasting in the wineries, wine and cheese lunch at the wineries, and a gourmet dinner on the train's return trip.

Club X Train

Club X Train, which is still in the planning stage, will be a one stop shop for all Las Vegas rooms, activities, tours, show tickets and packages. Las Vegas shows, hotel rooms, tours, nightclubs and attractions will all available for members of ClubXTrain.com. This will be the only site riders need to plan their Vegas vacation getaway.

We anticipate that when a customer purchases a train ticket on either the X Train (once it commences operations) or any of the X Wine Railroad excursions, such tickets will include enrollment in our Club X membership club. Members will receive points from each excursion they ride and will be provided discounts on products and services we provide. The more they ride, the more points they will receive. Club X train will the customer's ticket within Vegas for access to nightclubs, hosted bottle service, pool parties, gentlemen's clubs and the Club X Train Crawl: a high end to visiting three nightclubs in one night. Customers will outline their desired plan for the evening and Club X Train will take care of arranging all the details.  We expect to commence offering Club X Train service when the X Train commences running, currently anticipated to be first quarter of 2018.

The Company maintains offices at 9480 S Eastern Ave, Suite 205, Las Vegas, Nevada 89123.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

      

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

The following is a comparison of the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

 

Operating Expenses

Compensation expense decreased by $73,273, or 34.8%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016.  The decrease in compensation expense was primarily due to fewer employees.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $16,216, or 28.8%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to increase in travel and office expenses. Professional fees increased by $53,219, or 110.7%, during 2017 as compared to 2016 due primarily to increases in consulting services and accounting expenses.  

 

Other (Expense) Income

 

Interest expense increased by $63,509, or 90.6%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due to issuances of certain promissory notes.  During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company expensed the carrying value of 10 rail cars of $629,270 as they were repossessed by the rail yard storage facility for unpaid storage charges.

      

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

         

The following is a comparison of the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Revenue

Revenue increased by $32,259, or 100% during the nine months ended September 30,2017 as the Company started its operation running a wine train between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, CA.  Revenue was generated from selling train tickets, food and beverage and wine tours.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased by $46,051, or 100% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which represents costs of operating the wine train.

Operating Expenses

Compensation expense decreased by $1,311,206, or 77.0%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The decrease in compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the issuance of stock compensation to employees and Board members resulting in additional expenses in 2016.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $110,739, or 68.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to increase in travel and office expenses. Professional fees increased by $376,757, or 199.7%, during 2017 as compared to 2016 due primarily to increases in professional services.  

Other (Expense) Income

 

Interest expense increased by $638,708, or717.5%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due to issuances of promissory notes and accruing interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company expensed the carrying value of 10 rail cars of $629,270 as they were repossessed by the rail yard storage facility for unpaid storage charges.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support asset growth, satisfy disbursement needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. The Company has limited operating revenues and is currently dependent on debt financing and sale of equity to fund operations. 

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $1,072,447 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $2,608,267 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $10,547,428 and a negative working capital of $1,094,242 as of September 30, 2017, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $509,600, before debt discount of $205,224.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement its business plan.  Given the lack of significant revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

We believe that the successful growth and operation of our business is dependent upon our ability to do the following:

 

 

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

 

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1,535,657 and $774,397, respectively.  Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were primarily due to net losses of $2,608,267 and $2,142,418, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the net loss included significant non-cash expenses of $130,000 in stock issued for services, $156,330 in amortization of discounts on notes payable, $88,395 in conversion of notes payable and accrued interest and $499,196 in issuing warrants.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the net loss included significant non-cash expenses of $1,263,702 in stock issued for services and $45,639 in amortization of discounts on notes payable.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $708,160, which represented writing off rail cars and related costs.  Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $19,240 primarily due to the capitalized costs towards the rail cars. 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $630,028, which consisted of $19,100 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, $82,000 in repayments on convertible notes payable, $145,272 in proceeds from related party notes payable, $53,344 in repayments on related party notes payable, $421,000 in common stock proceeds and $180,000 from exercise of warrant.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2014. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management's best estimates and judgments. Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial statements fairly represent the Company's financial position and results of operations.

 

There were no changes during the three months ended September 30, 2017 in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
