PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

We were originally incorporated on September 20, 2004, in the State of Delaware under the name “Blog8.” Since incorporation, we have changed our name numerous times and have been known as “Securiteyes,” “Medify Solutions Limited,” “Petel Incorporated” and “Gleeworks, Inc.” We amended our Certificate of Incorporation and changed our name to Capital Art, Inc. on April 28, 2011.

We currently are engaged in the business of selling and managing classic and contemporary, limited edition photographic images and reproductions, with a focus on iconic celebrity images, by acquiring ownership or rights to collections of rare iconic negatives and photographs. We also make available images for publications and merchandising by third parties. Our business is in its early stages and consequently our financial results are difficult to compare from one period to the next. We expect such period-to-period differences to continue to be significant over the next several quarters, until we have a number of full years of operations.

Our objective is to become the largest repository of archival pop culture photography in the online world. To this end, we have been and continue to search for photographic archives. We have amassed our current inventory and rights to photographic images and reproductions from a series of acquisitions that started in 2011. These past few years of acquisitions have resulted in an impressive collection for our company, including the rights to the Frank Worth collection, Globe Photos and the rights or ownership to millions of photos and negatives. Archived and stored in our warehouse are boxes of never seen before negatives, one-of-a kind prints and other memorabilia. We have rare images of celebrity icons, such as Elvis Presley, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and many others, which have never been seen by the public.

As part of increasing our product offerings, we plan to continue our search for photographic archives that are undervalued by the market. These archives may be acquired outright, or we may enter into representation or consignment agreements with the owners of the archives. These opportunities are typically (1) aging photographers who are looking to monetize their archive while still alive via a single large transaction, or (2) media companies that have aggregated assets (or rights to assets) and are seeking to dispose of the archive or a partner who can help them grow cash flows related to the archive. These opportunities exist both in the United States and abroad and we continue to search for value wherever it may be geographically located.

Our business is to monetize the value of our collection. We sell our photographic images and reproductions through auctions, third-party galleries, art consultants, interior decorators, bricks and mortar locations, specialty and big box retailers and directly toend consumers. We reach our customers through diverse marketing channels, including our websites, events and interactive campaigns. We also reproduce mass quantities of different photographs from our collection, which are sold through third party on-line retailers. We are continually exploring these and other marketing possibilities and we expect to continue our efforts to pursue contracts and to diversify our revenues.

Our principal place of business is located at 6445 South Tenaya Way, Suite B-130, Las Vegas, NV 89113. General information about us can be found at www.capitalart.com. The information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K and should not be considered part of this or any other report filed with the SEC.

Business Strategy

Our business is generated through operations of our three divisions, including:

Sale of original vintage prints. On May 11, 2015 we entered into an exclusive marketing agreement with a distributor to distribute our vintage original fine art prints to fine art dealers and collector auction houses, as well as private third-party collectors. Under the terms of the agreement the distributor receives 50% of the gross receipts from sales generated by it.

Sale of fine art prints, including limited editions; and

Sale of open addition prints and other digital images. Currently, we offer these on 10 different independent websites.

Licensing of images.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

We do not have an in-house sales staff. We reach our customers through diverse marketing channels, including our website, events and interactive campaigns. Marketing activities aim to build awareness for our brands and drive revenue by promoting newly acquired images as well as images existing in our collection.

As of the date of this Report we are in the process of setting up individual divisions to target the Interior Design industry, the Fund-Raising and Hospitality industries. The Company is in discussions with several independent sales representatives to market the Company’s products to these specific industries on a commission basis. We have exhibited at the World Market Place tradeshow twice in the past five years. Currently only a small percentage of our revenues is associated with these divisions. However, while no assurances can be provided, we expect significant growth over the next 3-5 years through interactive campaigns conducted with up to 50 unaffiliated online retainers, including 1stdibs and other targeted niche websites such as Fanatics, Icanvas, art.com, paddle8.com, artnet.com and to name a few.

We sell our photographic images and reproductions through auctions, third-party galleries, art consultants, interior decorators and directly to consumers. We also reproduce mass quantities of different photographs from our collection, which are sold through third party on-line retailers.

We have several websites, each targeted to specific consumers including high-end fine art, and lower end open edition prints. We have identified over 50 third-party online retailers that we can sell through and give a percentage of sales to each of the online retailers. These percentages usually average around 20%. We have several programs currently in place with websites including 1st dibs, Fanatics, Icanvas, art.com, art net, artspace, Lumas and others and expect to expand these sales in 2018.

We expect to continue to pursue contracts to diversify revenues, and to develop additional websites for retail clients to purchase our prints, but also as a portal for our interior decorators, a new gallery concept in Santa Monica, California, is expected to launch by June 2018, third-party gallery and charity partners. The downside is that there are a limited number of interior decorators, and charity partners which produce higher revenues than on-line sales, and while we actively pursue such contracts, our success will depend upon our ability to obtain such contracts for sales and also upon our ability to acquire a larger depository.

In November 2014 we entered into an agreement with Fiero LLC (“Fiero”) to have Fiero build a website that will act not only as a site for retail clients to purchase our prints, but also as a portal for our interior decorator, third party gallery and charity partners. The agreement provided for Fiero to provide website design, development, content management systems, ecommerce and auction integration and administration that includes behavioral design infrastructure and data integration with our internal systems. The agreement also provided for post-production support, hosting service, site monitoring and reporting functions. The total cost was $193,000, including a cash payment of $40,000 and the issuance of 510,000 shares of our Common Stock. Fiero ceased operations in December 2016, prior to fulfilling their obligations under the agreement. As of December 31, 2015, 170,000 shares of these common shares had been issued. Subsequently, we issued an additional 229,300 shares, leaving 110,700 shares unissued. We subsequently retained High Touch Solutions to handle our website design work. High Touch Solutions has assisted the company in a re-launch of our licensing site, www.globepbotos.com in 2017 and the retail version of globe photos website is scheduled to launch mid-2018, High Touch solutions has also been instrumental in establishing our online social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other sites. We will focus on growth in this area in 2018.

On January 1, 2015, we entered in a 12-month agreement for non-exclusive investment banking advisory services with Vista Partners for total consideration of 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. The agreement was subsequently extended an additional 6-months with no other changes or consideration to the terms of the original agreement. The shares were payable within 14 days of the effective date of the agreement and deemed earned in full upon execution of the agreement. The shares were issued in May 2015. The agreement may be renewed for an additional 12-month term whereby we, in our sole discretion, may elect to pay the investment banking advisor $400,000 cash or an equivalent amount in shares of our common stock based upon the thirty-day volume weighted average price for thirty trading days prior to renewal. This agreement was not extended.

We are exploring the possibility of opening company-owned galleries in Las Vegas and other major cities like Los Angeles. However, as of the date of this report we have no definitive plans or arrangements with respect to operating galleries. We will be licensing our name and participating in a new business concept with a test gallery scheduled to launch in June 2018 in Santa Monica under the Celebrity Vault brand. The goal is to license similar galleries to independent operators across the globe. We are adding relationships with third party galleries, websites and interior decorators that can sell our images to their clients. We are also creating a charity sales plan whereby charities can use our photos for fund raising activities. We have made over 3 million images available for publication on a world-wide basis for print and digital licensing where we would be paid royalties when our photographs are used. We continue to expand partnerships with major companies who can sell our prints to their client base on a revenue-split basis. These companies include Art.com, Fanatics and other online and bricks and mortar companies. There are no assurances these efforts will be successful.

Licensing

In 2017 the Company entered into a licensing arrangement with Authentic Brands Group, ABG, to license our images of Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley as “Officially Licensed Products” and incorporating their signatures and iconic sayings onto the images. We plan to test these products into retail in 2018 across a broad retail platform both online and in big box and specialty retailers.

Competition

Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we have. The market for iconic photographic images and related services is highly competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors include name recognition, company reputation, the quality, relevance and breadth of the content in a company’s collections, Licenses and the quality of contributing photographers and other partners under contract with a company. Additionally, we also face competition in connection with factors relating to the business and our infrastructure such as effective use of current and emerging technology, customer service and customer relationships, pricing and licensing models, policies and practices and accessibility of content and speed and ease of search and fulfillment.

Some of our current and potential significant competitors include other general visual content providers such as Corbis and Shutterstock. We also face significant competition from specialized visual content companies that are well established in their local, content or product-specific market segments such as Reuters Group, the Associated Press, and ZUMA Press, Inc. Globe Photos our licensing division is small in relation to these larger firms, but is celebrating its 80^th anniversary in 2018 and has significant historical value as the nation’s oldest pop culture-licensing agency. Globe Photos currently services over 2500 global clients including every major news organization in the world, production companies, publishing houses and more.

There are also hundreds, if not thousands, of small photography agencies, image content aggregators and individual photographers throughout the world with whom we compete.

Our competition includes retail photography galleries and websites selling photography such as art.com, artspace.com and rockpaperphoto.com. We believe that we are highly competitive because we own many of our photographic negatives and do not have to split sales proceeds with photographers who own their intellectual property rights, which is the industry standard.

Intellectual Property

Much of our collection of iconic photographic images were acquired and are owned by us. A small percentage of the images in our collection are obtained through reproduction or licensing agreements, wherein we pay a royalty based on the percentage of revenues we receive from the use of the licensed images. As such, currently such agreements are limited and not material.

Table of Contents

To this end, we have been and continue to search for photographic archives. Based upon our successes over the past 36 months, we believe that these archives can be monetized multiple ways, through our collectibles, licensing and retail divisions, depending upon the structure and content of each archive. These archives may be purchased outright, or we may enter into reproduction or licensing agreements with the owners of the archives. These opportunities are typically (1) photographers who are looking to monetize their archives, or (2) media companies that are either seeking to dispose of the archive or seeking a method to derive revenues from the archive. These opportunities exist both in the United States and abroad and we continue to search for value wherever it may be geographically located.

Our management believes that the market is significantly undervaluing physical photographic assets for both individual photographers seeking to monetize their collections and media companies seeking to dispose of their archives because of the investment required to digitize and then monetize them. We have created an infrastructure and workflow process in order to digitize these assets at a low cost which we believe gives us a competitive advantage for purchasing from all sources.

We utilize the following criteria when evaluating archives:

The age of the archives;

How/If the archive is organized;

The type of media in the archive;

The subject matter of the archive;

The rarity of the subject matter;

The photographer(s) represented in the archive; and

The nature and the strength of the rights associated with the archive.

In this respect single photographer archives are desirable because copyrights are often easily ascertained to be owned by the photographer. We can market and build the reputation of the photographer to enhance the value of the archive. In addition, we believe we can better control the market for the works of individual photographers. Reproduction and licensing agreements are often more desirable because they typically require low or no upfront cash commitments. In these agreements content providers are usually paid mostly through royalties on sales. Owning copyright or having rights to copyrights significantly impact our gross margins. On the other hand, purchasing copyrights outright while reducing cash, increases intangible assets and generates higher gross margins. Reproduction and licensing agreements do not significantly impact our balance sheet but generate much lower gross margins.

Our ability to acquire such depository is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital in order to have funds to make such acquisitions.

Employees

As of December 31, 2017, we had 3 employees, all of which were full-time, including one CEO, one marketing, and a business development person. We also utilize consultants on an as needed basis. None of our employees are members of any union. We believe our relationship with our employees is excellent.

Government Regulations

We are not subject to any extraordinary governmental regulations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Table of Contents

Risks Related to Our Business

Because we have a limited operating history, you may not be able to accurately evaluate our operations.

We have had limited operations to date and have generated only a small amount of revenue. Therefore, we have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the merits of investing in our company. Because we are in the early stages of operating our business, we are subject to many of the same risks inherent in the operation of a business with a limited operating history, including the potential inability to continue as a going concern.

Although we have a large customer base, currently the company is dependent on one of its Divisions for a significant amount of its revenues.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Collectibles Division accounted for over 72% of total revenues. Management has instituted aggressive direct-to-consumer marketing, implemented programs with third-party re-sellers as well as bricks and mortar, and online retailers. We have also begun to enhance and market our licensing division, Globe Photos, LLC. Additionally, we have invested considerable time and monies in the development of software to more efficiently ingest images and push them through to our retail and licensing channels that is expected to help scale each division considerably. Despite these efforts, there is no certainty regarding how or if the market for our products will continue to develop, or whether such market will decline. Our ability to attract and retain customers will depend in part on our ability to sign up a significant number of galleries, third party websites, interior decorators and charities that will market to their clients, and our ability to drive business to our website. Moreover, the market for our products is comprised primarily of collectors, which market is limited and subject to changes in popular trends, demographics, disposable income, and overall interest in such products. There can be no guarantee that the market for our products will grow or that demand for our products will continue. If it does not, we could go out of business.

We are dependent on outside financing for continuation of our operations.

Because our revenue is not sufficient to cover our operating expenses and we currently operate at a significant loss, we are completely dependent on the continued availability of financing in order to continue our business. There can be no assurance that financing sufficient to enable us to continue our operations will be available to us in the future. Moreover, even if we are able to obtain financing, it could be on terms that causes our company’s stock price to suffer or further dilutes shareholder interests in our company. Our failure to obtain future financing, financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs could result in our inability to continue as a going concern and, as a result, investors in our company could lose their entire investment.

If we are unable to compete in our industry, our business will fail.

The photographic art industry is and has been intensely competitive, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. We expect competition to increase because of changes in the media industry, changing advertising practices, technological advances leading to relatively inexpensive creation, marketing and distribution of visual content, and a lack of substantial barriers to entry. Our competitors range in size from significant media companies to individual visual content and digital media content producers. While we believe the breadth of our businesses and product and service portfolio offers benefits to our customers that are a competitive advantage, our current or potential competitors may develop products, licensing models, technology or services comparable or superior to those that we develop or may adapt more quickly than we do to new or emerging technologies or evolving industry trends. Increased competition or more effective competitors could result in lost market share, having to reduce prices or otherwise having reduced revenue, lower margins, increased capital expenditures, or otherwise negatively impact our operating results. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

Any future litigation could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Table of Contents

From time to time we may be subject to litigation, including potential stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. We have acquired (“D&O”) liability insurance to cover such risk exposure for our directors and officers. In addition, the company is increasing its general liability insurance and acquiring errors and omissions coverage (“E&O”). The Company also carries Fine Art Commercial, employee health and workman’s compensation policies. Despite the measures taken, actions may exceed or the policies might not cover future litigation. The amounts we would have to pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action or any other action that we are exposed to could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Our success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and our ability to avoid infringing on the intellectual property rights of others.

Our intellectual property rights are very important to our business. We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark, and other rights in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property. As most of our assets relate to photographs, we deal primarily in copyrights, which do not necessarily have to be registered rights until enforced. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, third parties may, in an unauthorized manner, attempt to use, copy or otherwise obtain and market or distribute our intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of our products and intellectual property rights is difficult and nearly impossible on a worldwide basis. Therefore, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken or will take in the future will prevent misappropriations of our intellectual property rights.

Misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property and proprietary rights could impair our competitive position. Enforcement actions to protect our intellectual property could be costly and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and may not always be successful. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary rights is difficult. We cannot ensure that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our products and intellectual rights or that the agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. Effective trademark, service mark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available where our products and services are made available on-line. In addition, litigation may be necessary to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Litigation, even if successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Moreover, in the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our intellectual property or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our growth strategy requires us to expand our website which can expose us to data security breaches or service disruptions

The risk of a data security breach or service disruption caused by computer hackers and cyber criminals has increased as the frequency, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Such risk also increases as we expand our presence on the web and increase on-line sales. Our systems have not been, but may in the future be, the target of various forms of cyber-attacks. Our cybersecurity measures and the cybersecurity measures taken by our third-party hosting facilities may be unable to anticipate, detect or prevent all attempts to compromise our systems. Any security breach, whether successful or not, could harm our reputation, subject us to lawsuits and other potential liabilities and ultimately could result in the loss of customers and loss of revenue.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new SEC regulations, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by

Table of Contents

regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, our reputation may be harmed.

If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could have a severe negative effect on our financial results or stock price.

Our management believes that in order to be successful we must appropriately manage the size of our business. This may mean reducing costs and overhead in certain economic periods, and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. In addition, we will be required to implement operational, financial and management information procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to manage any significant cost reductions or effectively provide for our growth.

If we fail to attract and retain qualified senior executive and key technical personnel, our business will not be able to expand.

We are dependent on the continued availability of the services of our employees, many of whom are individually key to our future success, and the availability of new employees to implement our business plans. We rely heavily on the experience of our officers and directors in overseeing and implementing our business plan. As we move forward we will need to engage professionals with various specific experience. We will need individuals experienced in design, photo editing and creativity. We will also need to identify sales and marketing professionals with specific experience in selling into certain channels of distribution.

The market for skilled employees is highly competitive, especially for employees in technical fields. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of all our key employees or a sufficient number to execute our plans, nor can there be any assurance we will be able to continue to attract new employees as required.

Our personnel may voluntarily terminate their relationship with us at any time, and competition for qualified personnel, is intense. The process of locating additional personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategy could be lengthy, costly and disruptive.

If we lose the services of key personnel, or fail to replace the services of key personnel who depart, we could experience a severe negative effect on our financial results and stock price. In addition, there is intense competition for highly qualified industry specific and business savvy personnel in the locations where we principally operate. The failure to acquire the services of any key design, marketing or other personnel or our failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating and financial results and stock price.

Because we have material weaknesses in our internal control procedures, our stock price could decline significantly.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. We have documented material weaknesses in our controls. Because of these material weaknesses, our management believes that as of December 31, 2017, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and investors could lose confidence in our Company and result in a decline in our stock price and consequently affect our financial condition. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our Common Stock could drop significantly. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls will not be discovered in the future.

Table of Contents

Insiders will continue to have substantial control over us and our policies after this offering and will be able to influence corporate matters.

Our directors and officers, whose interests may differ from other stockholders, have the ability to exercise significant control over us. Presently, Stuart Scheinman beneficially owns a majority of our common stock. He is able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, and any change of control of our company. He could prevent transactions, which would be in the best interests of the other shareholders. The interests of our officers and directors may not necessarily be in the best interests of the shareholders in general.

Risks Relating to Our Securities

If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “CAPA” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.

Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Our stock price is subject to a number of factors, including:

intellectual property disputes;

additions or departures of key personnel;

sales of our common stock;

our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;

our ability to execute our business plan;

operating results below or exceeding expectations;

whether we achieve profits or not;

loss or addition of any strategic relationship;

industry developments;

economic and other external factors; and

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a

penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.

Provisions in the Delaware law and our Bylaws could make it very difficult for an investor to bring any legal actions against our directors or officers for violations of their fiduciary duties or could require us to pay any amounts incurred by our directors or officers in any such actions.

Members of our board of directors and our officers will have no liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer, except in limited circumstances, pursuant to provisions in the Delaware law and our Bylaws. Accordingly, you may be unable to prevail in a legal action against our directors or officers even if they have breached their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors and officers from and against any and all costs, charges and expenses resulting from their acting in such capacities with us. This means that if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers, in all likelihood, we would be required to pay any expenses they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement they otherwise would be required to pay. Accordingly, our indemnification obligations could divert needed financial resources and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

Item 2. Properties

Our principal executive office and headquarters is located at 6445 South Tenaya Way, B-130, Las Vegas, Nevada 89113 where we lease 4,606 square feet of commercial space for a monthly rental payment of $3,270 per month effective October 10, 2014. The lease expires in 60 months from October 10, 2014. We also lease storage space locally to house art and photography stock. Our printing, framing, packing and shipping facilities are provided by third-parties. We also rent storage space on a month-to month basis in Brooklyn, NY, at a cost of $325 per month.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We were not party to any outstanding litigation, nor had we received notice of any pending action to be filed against us. Aside from the following, we are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us. Recently, we successfully resolved one action as described below.

On July 6, 2016, Stuart Harris, as an individual and as Executor of the Estate of Frank Worth (“Claimant”) filed a Statement of Claim with the American Arbitration Association against us alleging breach of the Frank Worth Reproduction Rights Agreement entered into on November 18, 2011 for royalties allegedly due. The Frank Worth Reproduction Rights Agreement called for royalty payments to be paid to Claimant by us for the exclusive global reproduction rights to all negatives, prints, products and other materials from the Frank Worth collection. However, on November 12, 2014, Claimant had previously agreed to accept $155,000 and 200,000 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for sole and exclusive, world-wide, royalty free rights to all negatives, prints, products and other materials in our possession, including the use of the Frank Worth seal, Frank Worth’s name, likeness, publications and biography plus merchandising and selling rights. We paid $30,000 to the Claimant in January 2015 in connection with the November 12, 2014 agreement. The Statement of Claim also sought an award for breach of the November 12, 2014 agreement.

We made no further payments under the November 12, 2014 agreement because we believed that Claimant sold the rights to 38 key images to Apsara, Inc. in 2007 and failed to disclose such prior sale to us. We also brought a counterclaim for breach of the November 12, 2014 agreement against Claimant for failure to disclose the previous sale of 38 key images which we had purchased under the Frank Worth Reproduction Rights Agreement and the subsequent November 12, 2014 agreement.

On October 18, 2016, an arbitration hearing was held on this matter. On October 28, 2016, the arbitrator issued an amended award, finding the 2011 Agreement to remain valid, but also recognizing our demand for clean title to the 38 Key images. Thus, we were ordered to pay Claimant $70,000 as final payment due under the November 12, 2014 agreement, payable to the Claimant no later than February 23, 2017. We were granted an award for delivery of clean title of the 38 Key images no later than February 23, 2017. In the event, Claimant provides such clean title by such deadline, the parties have the option to comply with the 2011 agreement and enter into negotiations for a new royalty agreement on the 38 Key images. In the event Claimant does not deliver clean title, we shall retain possession of the entire collection, including the 38 Key images with no further obligation to pay royalties. Claimant failed to deliver clean title by February 23, 2017.

In the interim, the Company learned that Claimant is the subject of an action in a California Probate Court action challenging his actions as Executor of the Estate after March 2008. At that time Claimant was discharged as Executor of the Estate and he had no legal authority from that point on to represent the interests of the Estate, including entering into the agreements that were the subject of the Arbitration. That information has led the Company to secure the $70,000 final payment until such time as the California Probate Court determines the appropriate recipient.

Finally, on January 26, 2017, Claimant filed a separate civil suit against us in Nevada District Court. This new suit seeks to vacate the decision of the Arbitrator in the Binding Arbitration. Claimant is dissatisfied with the results of the Binding Arbitration, notwithstanding his agreement to be bound by the decisions of the Arbitrator. We have challenged whether Claimant has standing to pursue this action because of his lack of status as an Executor, and his lack of any status as a Beneficiary of the Estate.

On February 28, 2017, the parties agreed to dismiss this action with prejudice. On September 15, 2017, the final $70,000 payment was made in full.

Penny Stock

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

Table of Contents

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of April 30, 2018, we had 325,218,584 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 217 shareholders of record at our transfer agent, with additional shareholders holding our shares in street name.

Dividends

We currently intend to retain future earnings for the operation of our business. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

We do not have any equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2017.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In April 2017, the board has approved the issuance, but has not yet issued, 2,083,333 shares of common stock at fair value of $0.05 per share for 2015 services rendered by a consultant.

Subsequent to year end, we granted 10 year options to purchase 15,283,433 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $0.05 to various consultants for services.

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Revenues

Table of Contents

Our total revenue reported for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $939,252, compared with $864,426 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The change is primarily a result of increased sales from the Company’s collectables division and licensing sales. We expect revenue growth to accelerate in 2018 as a result of the foundations laid in 2016 and 2017.

There is significant financial risk associated with a dependence upon a small number of distributors and customers which could have an adverse effect on our future consolidated financial statements if these distributors or customers were to leave. We intend to continue our investment in sales and marketing in order to increase distribution and demand for our products and adding content to our product lines, along with adding additional channels of distribution. There are no assurances this will result in increased revenues.

Cost of Revenues

Our total cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $780,409, compared with $820,393 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in cost of revenue for 2017 is due to higher merchandise costs incurred in 2016.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased to $940,514 for the year ended December 31, 2017 from $912,660 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

	Year Ended December 31
	2016		2017

Product development, sales and marketing	$	182,725	$	317,568
General and administrative		662,331		611,403
Depreciation and amortization expense		67,604		61,543
Gain on sale of property and equipment		—		(50,000)

Total Operating Expenses	$	912,660	$	940,514

The main reason for the overall increase in operating expenses in 2017 was an increase in the product development, sales and marketing category.

Product development, sales and marketing expenses increased by $134,843. Product development, sales and marketing expenses primarily consists of website development costs, sales and marketing salaries, as well as other expenses associated with marketing. We continue to utilize our working capital resources in sales and marketing in order to increase the distribution and demand for our products and to add content to our product lines along with adding additional channels of distribution.

General and administrative costs decreased by $50,928 primarily due to a decrease in investor relation expenses. This decrease was offset by increased costs associated with professional fees in 2017.

Table of Contents

Total depreciation expense decreased by $6,061. We record archival images, and property and equipment at cost for purchases over $500. Archival images, property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. We capitalize direct costs associated with improvements to archival images, and property and equipment in accordance with ASC 360 – Property, Plant, and Equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful life or the term of the related lease.

Gain on sale of property and equipment increased by $50,000 primarily due to the sales of archival assets during 2017.

Net Loss

We finished the year ended December 31, 2017 with a loss of $847,860, as compared to a loss of $941,330 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, we had an increase in revenue and resulting gross margin offset by increased operating expenses to support future growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2017, we had total current assets of $115,110, compared with current liabilities of $2,394,795, resulting in a working capital deficit of $2,279,685. This compares with the working capital deficit of $1,764,220 at December 31, 2016. This increase in working capital, as discussed in more detail below, is primarily the result of a decrease in notes payable and loans payable.

Our operating activities used $374,271 in the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared with $522,708 used by operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2016. Our negative operating cash flow for both years was largely the result of our net losses, offset by depreciation and amortization. We anticipate that overhead costs in current operations will increase in the future as our business continues to expand.

Investing activities provided $19,149 in the year ended December 31, 2017, compared with cash used of $171,240 in the year ended December 31, 2016. Our positive investing cash flow for 2017 was the result of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Our negative investing cash flow for 2016 was the result of purchasing images, property and equipment. We anticipate that our investing expenditures will increase as we expand our collection.

Financing activities provided $302,385 in the year ended December 31, 2017 compared with $715,412 in the year ended December 31, 2016. Our positive financing cash flow was the result of notes payable and loans payable, offset by repayments on such.

There is no guarantee we will generate sufficient revenues to continue operations. Our management estimates we will need approximately $1,000,000 in annual revenues to continue operations at our current operating level, without consideration given to investment in new sales and marketing channels. For the immediate future we plan to achieve this revenue target by ramping up fees earned from licensing imagery to media companies growing a network of global sales agents. There is no guarantee that we will generate sufficient revenues to continue operations. We expect to continue incurring significant operating losses for the near future. If we are not successful in achieving revenues required to continue operations at our current operating levels within three to four months, or obtain additional financing, our operations will be significantly negatively impacted, and we will need to significantly scale back our operations or liquidate all or a portion of our collections.

We believe that our principal difficulty in our ability to successfully generate profits has been the lack of available capital to operate and expand our business. We believe we need a minimum of approximately $3,000,000 in additional working capital to be utilized for key archive acquisitions, inventory management software, technology development, additional staffing and working capital. As of the date of this Report we have no commitment from any investor or investment-banking firm to provide us with the necessary funding and there can be no assurances we will obtain such funding in the future. Failure to obtain this additional financing will have a material negative impact on our ability to generate profits in the future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2017, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Polices

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The recent accounting pronouncements that are material to our financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in this Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Capital Art, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capital Art, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Capital Art, Inc. (formerly Movie Star News, LLC) (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) sells and manages classic and contemporary, limited edition photographic images and reproductions, with a focus on iconic celebrity images. The Company also makes available its images for publications and merchandizing. The Company aims to become a leading global photography marketing and distribution company by acquiring rights and ownership to collections of rare iconic negatives and photographs, and to establish worldwide wholesale and retail sales channels.

Movie Star News, LLC (“MSN”) was organized in the state of Nevada on August 29, 2012 as a limited liability company to acquire the assets of Kramer Productions, Inc. d/b/a Movie Star News, a New York institution since 1939 that was credited for creating the concept of “pin-up art”. The acquisition resulted in MSN holding one of the largest and most diverse collections of Hollywood photographs in the world of over 3 million Hollywood-related posters, vintage photographs and original negatives.

Capital Art, Inc. (“CAPA”), formed in the state of Delaware on April 26, 2007 along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Capital Art, LLC (collectively “CAPA” or “pre-merger CAPA”) formed in the state of California on January 24, 2011, owned rare iconic celebrity images, including the rights to the Frank Worth Collection. The Frank Worth Collection comprises an extensive collection of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and other iconic photographs, many rare and never seen that were accumulated over a period of 60 years.

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Globe Photos, Inc., a New York corporation, to purchase substantially all of the assets of Globe Photos, Inc., which principally comprise photographer contracts granting the Company the right to exploit copyrights, digital and tangible photographs, and related copyrights and trademarks, of Globe Photo, Inc. On July 24, 2015, the Company formed Globe Photo, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CAPA, to license the Company’s extensive photograph image archive to third parties worldwide for a fee.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $1,297 cash on hand. At December 31, 2017 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,522,655. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $847,860 and cash used in operations of $246,796. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Over the next twelve months the Company intends to invest its working capital resources in sales and marketing in order to increase the distribution and demand for its products. If the Company fails to generate sufficient revenue and obtain additional capital to continue at its expected level of operations, the Company may be forced to scale back or discontinue its sales and marketing efforts. However, there is no guarantee the Company will generate sufficient revenues or raise capital to continue operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Capital Art, Inc. prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, and its 100% owned subsidiaries Capital Art, LLC and Globe Photos, LLC. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and also requires disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 – Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of December 31, 2017 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party and third party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs.

Balance December 31, 2016	$	57,922
Change in fair market value of derivative liability		(48,727)
Balance December 31, 2017	$	9,195

The Company’s derivative instruments were valued using the Black-scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used in the valuation include the following: a) market value of stock on measurement date of $0.19; b) risk-free rate of 1.53%; c) volatility factor of 285%; d) dividend yield of 0% and e) remaining term of 0.39 years.

Related parties

The Company follows ASC 850, "Related Party Disclosures" for reporting activities with 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 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.

Accounts receivable, net

The Company sells its products through various means, including distributors, auction houses, and via the internet. The Company also licenses its images to third parties for which royalty income is received by the Company. The Company continually monitors the collectability of its trade accounts receivables based on a combination of factors, including the aging of the accounts receivable, historical experience, and other currently available evidence and provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. There was an allowance for bad debt of $0 and $11,100 recorded during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s accounts receivable was netted against an allowance of $10,381 $11,100, respectively.

Table of Contents

Inventory

The Company’s inventory is comprised of rare photos of movie stars and other famous people, and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Direct labor and raw material costs associated with the process of making the photos available for sale are also included in inventory at cost. These costs are expensed to cost of sales pro-ratably as sold. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has recorded allowance related to slow moving inventory in the amount of $128,194 and $117,453, respectively.

Archival Images, and Property and Equipment

Archival images, and property and equipment are recorded at cost for purchases over $500, and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. The Company capitalizes direct costs associated with improvements to archival images, and property and equipment in accordance with ASC 360 – Property, Plant, and Equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful life or the term of the related lease. Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, consisting of content provider and photographic agreements, and copyrights, are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of ten years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such situations, long-lived assets are considered impaired when future undiscounted cash flows resulting the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the asset’s carrying amount. In such situations, the asset is written down to the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Factors that are considered when evaluating long-lived assets for impairment include a current expectation that it is more likely than not that the long-lived asset will be sold significantly before the end of its useful life, a significant decrease in the market price of the long-lived asset, and a change in the extent of manner in which the long-lived asset is being used. Based on management’s assessment there were no impairments to its long-lived assets at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 - Derivatives Hedging: Embedded Derivatives. ASC 815 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms in agreements are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivatives that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for and separated from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue related to product sales when (i) the seller’s price is substantially fixed, (ii) shipment has occurred causing the buyer to be obligated to pay for product, (iii) the buyer has economic substance apart from the seller, and (iv) there is no significant obligation for future performance to directly bring about the resale of the product by the buyer as required by ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition. Cost of sales, rebates and discounts are recorded at the time of revenue recognition or at each financial reporting date.

The Company’s other revenue represent payments based on net sales from brand licensees for content reproduction rights. These license agreements are held in conjunction with third parties that are responsible for collecting fees due and remitting to the Company its share after expenses. Revenue from licensed products is recognized when realized or realizable based on royalty reporting received from licensees.

Shipping and Handling

The Company records shipping and handling expenses in the period in which they are incurred and are included in cost of revenues. In limited circumstances this cost is passed through to the customers.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation issued to employees in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation: Stock Compensation, based on the fair value of the equity instrument in exchange for employee services and the resulting recognition of compensation expense.

The Company’s accounts for stock-based payment transactions with nonemployees for services in accordance with ASC 50-550 Equity: Equity-based Payments to Non-Employees. If the fair value of the services received in a stock-based payment with nonemployees is more reliably measureable than the fair value of the equity instrument issued, the fair value of the services received is used to measure the transaction. Conversely, if the fair value of the equity instruments issued in a stock-based transaction with nonemployees is more reliably measureable than the fair value of the consideration received, the transaction is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The Company recognizes an increase in equity or a liability, depending on whether the equity instruments granted have satisfied the equity or liability classification criteria.

Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred. Advertising expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1,824 and $5,167, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company’s calculation of its tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. The Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on management’s estimate of whether it is more likely than not that additional taxes will be required. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from net operating losses, differences in depreciation methods of archived images, and property and equipment, stock-based and other compensation, and other accrued expenses. A valuation allowance is established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S., or the various state jurisdictions, may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. Interest and penalties are included in tax expense.

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operation in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash balances are placed at financial institutions, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are antidilutive . As of December 31, 2017, the Company has common stock equivalents related to options outstanding to acquire 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 2,283,333 shares reserved for future issuance (see Note 11).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. ASU 2016-08 is effective January 1, 2018 to be in alignment with the effective date of ASU 2014-09.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. ASU 2016-10 is effective January 1, 2018 to be in alignment with the effective date of ASU 2014-09.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective. The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but instead affect only the narrow aspects noted in Topic 606. ASU 2016-12 is effective January 1, 2018 to be in alignment with the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt the provisions of Topic 606 effective in January 1, 2018 and does not believe the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments including requirements to measure most equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, to perform a qualitative assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, and to separately present financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and by type of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and will be applied by means of a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet, except for effects related to equity securities without readily determinable values, which will be applied prospectively. Management has reviewed this pronouncement and has determined that it would not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize long-term lease arrangements as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all long-term leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The amendments also require certain new quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging: Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument would not, in and of itself, be considered a termination of the derivative instrument, provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. ASU 2016-05 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. Management evaluated ASU 2016-05 and determined that the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments, which aims to reduce the diversity of practice in identifying embedded derivatives in debt instruments. ASU 2016-06 clarifies that the nature of an exercise contingency is not subject to the “clearly and closely” criteria for purposes of assessing whether the call or put option must be separated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative. ASU 2016-06 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2017. Management evaluated ASU 2016-06 and determined that the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting and presentation of share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for related income taxes consequences and certain classifications within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2017. Management evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 and determined that the new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”, requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective approach which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. Management has reviewed this pronouncement and has determined that it would not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance . Management has reviewed this pronouncement and has determined that it would not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

GLOBE PHOTO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Globe Photos, Inc. (“Globe”), a New York corporation, to purchase of substantially all of the assets of Globe, which principally comprises of photographer contracts granting the Company the right to exploit copyrights, digital and tangible photographs, and related copyrights and trademarks, of Globe Photo ( Globe Photo Assets) for total purchase price of $400,000 payable in $250,000 cash and $150,000 payable in the common stock of the Company.

Per the agreement, $180,000 in cash was held in reserve by the Company against Globe’s full performance and compliance with all terms of the agreement. This amount is to be released to Globe at the rate of $10,000 per month beginning August 22, 2015. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the total reserve payable to Globe Photos, Inc. is $10,000 and $10,000, respectively .

The Agreement called for the Common stock to be transferred to Globe sixty (60) days after closing subject to satisfaction of successful termination of certain subagent agreements by Globe. Globe retained these certain subagent agreements, but was not able to successfully terminate these agreements. As such, the amount payable in common stock of the Company was reduced by $30,000, thereby reducing the total purchase price of the assets acquired from $400,000 to $370,000. Under the terms of the Agreement the Company issued 352,941 shares of its common stock based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares as traded on the OTC market on the measurement date July 22, 2015 of $0.34 per share for a total of $120,000.

The Company evaluated the Asset Purchase Agreement in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations which notes the threshold requirements of a business combination that includes the expanded definition of a “business” and defines elements that are to be present to be determined whether an acquisition of a business occurred. No “activities” of Globe were acquired. Instead, the Company obtained control of a set of inputs (the acquired assets). Thus the Company determined agreement is an acquisition of assets, not an acquisition of a business in accordance with ASC 805. The total purchase price of $370,000 in connection with the assets acquired is included in archival images, and property and equipment, net, in the consolidated balance sheets.

As a form of liquidity protection, Globe shall have limited put options in connection with the common stock beginning eighteen (18) months after the closing date, whereas the Company shall have up to fifteen (15) successive monthly options, with no less than thirty (30) days notice for each, which requires the Company to repurchase from Globe up to 1/15th of the shares of common stock in Globe’s possession that were granted in connection with the agreement, at a price per share equity to the market price per share ($0.34) on the effective date of the original share transfer to Globe. The exercise of any put option is not conditioned upon exercise of any prior put option. Beginning in January 2017, Globe exercised its option and elected to sell 1/15th of the shares of common stock for $8,000 per month. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has repurchased 258,823 shares from Globe for cash payments of $88,000.

In accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging: Embedded Derivatives, the Company determined the put options are an embedded derivative subject to bifurcation. The put options are a hybrid instrument that are not legally detachable or a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument. If exercised by Globe Photos, the put options embody an unconditional obligation by the Company to buy back its shares for cash at $0.34 per share, the market value of the Company’s common shares on the original transfer date of August 22, 2015. Globe may exercise this right beginning January 22, 2017 up to fifteen months subsequent that date. Using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model, the Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivative on August 22, 2015, the date of transfer of the common stock to Globe, to be $75,000. The Company’s stock price on August 22, 2015 was $0.34, risk-free discount rate of 1.01% and volatility of 100% was used to obtain fair value. See also Note 2.

Management determined the assets acquired from Globe for net purchase price of $370,000 and $75,000 related to the embedded derivative, for a total of $445,000. Based on its analysis of industry historical values of archival celebrity images and licensing and experience in the industry, Management’s allocation of the assets acquired in connection with the Globe APA is assigned as follows:

Inventory	$ 10,000
Intangible assets – content provider and photographic agreements	400,000
Copyrights	35,000
Total fair value of purchased assets	$ 445,000

In accordance with ASC 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company determined the content provider and photographic agreements and copyrights acquired from Globe have finite useful lives with estimated useful life of 10 years.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Proceeds from Auctions of Royalty Rights

On March 8, 2016, the Company entered into a Listing Agreement with Royalty Network, LLC, doing business as Royalty Exchange for auction of a 50% ownership of photographic copyrights of certain celebrity archival images owned by the Company. In addition, the sale also assigns the winning bidder the right to receive 50% of the future share of income derived from the assigned images.

During 2016, the Company received gross proceeds of $396,000, less 12.5% auction broker fee, from five separate auctions of these rights. The Company retains all exclusive licensing authority over the images and may exercise a buyback option to buy back the 50% ownership of the rights for two times the original auction proceeds over a period ranging from 1 to 2 years.

The Company accounted for the 50% profit consideration for the above agreement in accordance with ASC 470-10-25 and 470-10-35 which requires amounts recorded as debt to be amortized under the interest method as described in ASC 835-30, Interest Method. The Company determined an effective interest rate based on future expected cash flows to be paid to the loan holders. This rate represents the discount rate that equates estimated cash flows with the initial proceeds received from the loan holders and is used to compute the amount of interest to be recognized each period. Estimating the future cash outflows under this agreement requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about future revenues and such estimates are subject to significant variability. Therefore, the estimates are likely to change which may result in future adjustments to the accretion of the interest expense and the amortized cost based carrying value of the related loans.

Accordingly, the Company has estimated the cash flows associated with the images and determined a discount of $151,316 which is being accounted as interest expense over a 10-year estimated life of the asset based on expected future revenue streams. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, interest expense related to these loans amounted to $21,028 and $14,446, respectively, which has been included in interest expense and a corresponding increase in loans payable. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company made payments of $7,041 and $11,128 to the loan holders, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, loan payable net of unamortized debt discount amounted $363,805.

Asset purchase agreement

On March 3, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 20% of its ownership in a certain photographic archive asset for $200,000. As part of the agreement the buyer received preferential distributions of their entire purchase price of the asset. If however the entire purchase price is not paid back after 24 months then all net revenues from the Company will be paid to the buyer until the full purchase price has been paid.

On July 21, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 25% of its ownership in a certain photographic archive asset for $175,000. As part of the agreement the buyer received preferential distributions of their entire purchase price of the asset plus a 30% return. If however the entire purchase price is not paid back after 24 months then all net revenues from the Company will be paid to the buyer until the full purchase price plus a 30% return has been paid.

The Company accounted for the above transaction as debt and recognized the amount received as a loan payable. As of December 31, 2017, other debt, net of unamortized debt discount amounted to $375,000.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On August 4, 2017, Eide Bailly LLP (the “Former Accountant”) resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and we engaged Malone Bailey LLP (the “New Accountant”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of the New Accountant was approved by our Board of Directors.

We filed a Form 8-K on August 7, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the change in independent accounting firm.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2017. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report due to the material weaknesses indicated below. We intend to implement additional procedures to improve disclosure controls.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with limited personnel:

ineffective control environment and lack of qualified full-time CFO who has SEC experience to focus on our financial affairs;

lack of qualified and sufficient personnel, and processes to adequately and timely identify making any and all required public disclosures;

deficiencies in the period-end reporting process and accounting policies;

inadequate internal controls over the application of new accounting principles or the application of existing accounting principles to new transactions;

inadequate internal controls relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances, and events that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting process;

inadequate controls over maintenance of records

inadequate internal controls with respect to inventory transactions; and

improper and lack of timely accounting for accounts such as prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and revenue.

Table of Contents

Our Board of Directors has assigned a priority to the short-term and long-term improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to retain a qualified Chief Financial Officer in 2018 to remedy the processes that would eliminate the issues that may arise due to the absence of separation of duties within the financial reporting functions. Additionally, our Board of Directors will work with management to continuously review controls and procedures to identified deficiencies and implement remediation within our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.

We believe that our financial statements presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

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 an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1. Any petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he or she was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he or she was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

Director Independence

Our Board is currently composed of three members. Our Common Stock is not currently listed for trading on a national securities exchange and, as such, we are not subject to any director independence standards. No member of our Board of Directors is considered an independent director. We evaluated independence in accordance with the rules of The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., which generally provides that a director is not independent if: (i) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (ii) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (iii) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us other than for service as a director (or for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (iv) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed in a professional capacity by our independent public accountants, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit; (v) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (vi) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of that other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

Committees of the Board

As of the date of this report we do not have any committees of our Board of Directors. We expect to form an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Corporate Governance Committee, and a Nominating Committee in the near future. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, in essence their own, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2017, the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 31, 2017:

Code of Ethics

As of December 31, 2017, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics. We felt, until recently, the small number of individuals comprising our board and management did not warrant the adoption of a Code of Ethics. Now that we have expanded our board and our increasing the size of our organization, we intend to adopt a Code of Ethics in the near future.
