to the Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
Note
1 – Organization and Operations
Wizard
World, Inc.
Wizard
World, Inc., formerly GoEnergy, Inc. (“Wizard World” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 2, 2001,
under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company, through its operating subsidiary, is a producer of pop culture and live
multimedia conventions across North America.
Note
2 – Going Concern Analysis
Going
Concern Analysis
The Company had a loss from operations
of $4,454,857 and $1,182,246 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and working capital deficit (excluding the derivative liability) of $1,176,034 and $1,514,182,
respectively. We have evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations and have
concluded that, due to these conditions, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
through November 2018.
If necessary, management believes that
both related parties (management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company) and potential external sources of debt
and/or equity financing may be obtained based on management’s history of being able to raise capital from both internal
and external sources coupled with current favorable market conditions. Therefore, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. While the Company believes in the
viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise additional funds
if necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon the ability to further implement the business plan, generate sufficient revenues and to control operating expenses.
Note
3 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
The
management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and their application. Critical
accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition
and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to
make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting
policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis
of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with
respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of
the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

All
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment
in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components
of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.
As
of September 30, 2017, the aggregate non-controlling interest in ButtaFyngas was ($12,460). As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate
non-controlling interest in Wiz Wizard and ButtaFyngas was ($11,817). The non-controlling interest is separately disclosed on
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts
receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require
collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the
outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company determines if
receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management.
The maximum accounting loss from the credit risk associated with accounts receivable is the amount of the receivable recorded,
which is the face amount of the receivable net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31,
2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.
Inventories

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company follows ASC 820-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to measure the fair value of its financial instruments
and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820-10 establishes
a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.
The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820-10 are described below:
Level
1
|
Quoted
market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
|
|
|
Level
2
|
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable
as of the reporting date.
|
|
|
Level
3
|
Pricing
inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
|
Financial
assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or
similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
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. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within
more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement of the instrument.
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid
expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity
of these instruments.
In
connection with the issuance of a convertible promissory note as discussed below in Note 6, the Company evaluated the note agreement
to determine if the agreement contained any embedded components that would qualify the agreement as a derivative. The Company
identified certain put features embedded in the convertible note agreement that potentially could result in a net cash settlement
in the event of a fundamental transaction, requiring the Company to classify the conversion feature as a derivative liability.
The
Company determined that it is not practical to estimate the fair value of the convertible promissory note payable because of its
unique nature and the costs that would be incurred to obtain an independent valuation. The Company does not have comparable outstanding
debt on which to base an estimated current borrowing rate or other discount rate for purposes of estimating the fair value of
the convertible note payable and the Company has not been able to develop a valuation model that can be applied consistently in
a cost-efficient manner. These factors all contribute to the impracticability of estimating the fair value of the notes payable.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the convertible promissory note payable net of debt discount
was $61,222 and $1,456. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded accrued interest of $253,000 and $25,000,
which is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the accounts payable and accrued expenses line item.
Transactions
involving related parties typically cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions
of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. However, in the case of the convertible promissory note discussed in Note
6, the Company obtained a fairness opinion from an independent third party which supports that the transaction was carried out
at an arm’s length basis.
The
Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative conversion features issued in 2016. The Company valued
the conversion features using a Monte Carlo model. These models incorporate transaction details such as the Company’s stock
price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, and volatility as of the date of issuance and each balance sheet date.
The
Company utilized the following range of management assumptions in valuing the derivative conversion features during the nine months
ended September 30, 2017:

Fair
Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
The
Company uses Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative
liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the statements of operations that are attributable to the
change in the fair value of the derivative liability.
Financial
assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the balance sheets as

Changes
in the unobservable input values could potentially cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial
instruments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements is the expected volatility assumption. A
significant increase (decrease) in the expected volatility assumption could potentially result in a higher (lower) fair value
measurement.
Derivative
Instruments
The
Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of
those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-15. The result of this accounting
treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability.
In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations
as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at
the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
In
circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also
other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative
instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The
classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject
to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Revenue
Recognition and Cost of Revenues
The
Company follows Paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will
recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned
when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped
or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is
reasonably assured.
Convention
revenue is generally earned upon completion of the convention. Unearned convention revenue are deposits received for conventions
that have not yet taken place, which are fully or partially refundable depending upon the terms and conditions of the agreements.
Unearned
ConBox revenue is non-refundable up-front payments for products. These payments are initially deferred and subsequently recognized
over the subscription period, typically three months, and upon shipment of the product.
The
Company recognizes cost of revenues in the period in which the revenues was earned. In the event the Company incurs cost of revenues
for conventions that are yet to occur, the Company records such amounts as prepaid expenses and such prepaid expenses are expensed
during the period the convention takes place.
Shipping
and Handling Costs
The
Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with paragraph 605-45-45-19 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs are classified in cost of
revenue as incurred.
Shipping
and handling costs were $0 and $2,266 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Shipping and handling
costs were $21,479 and $241,627 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Equity–based
compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation –
Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net
of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service
period of the award.
Restricted
stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally
vest over the requisite service periods, typically over a four-year period (vesting on a straight–line basis). The fair
value of a stock award is equal to the fair market value of a share of Company stock on the grant date.
The
fair value of option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes
option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are input into the model. These assumptions are the expected
stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock
and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s
Common stock over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. The expected option term is computed using the “simplified”
method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term
of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable
basis upon which to estimate expected term. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free
rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends
on the Common stock of the Company and does not intend to pay dividends on the Common stock in the foreseeable future. The expected
forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical experience.
Determining
the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the
subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards
represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the equity–based compensation could be materially
different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only
for those shares expected to vest. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the Company’s estimate, the
equity–based compensation could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.
The
Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505-40,
“Equity
Based Payments to Non–Employees”.
The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either
the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions
as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments
is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instruments
is re-measured each reporting period over the requisite service period.
Earnings
per Share
Earnings
per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term
is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available
to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the
period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred
stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned)
from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation
of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect
the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options
or warrants.
The
following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss)
attributable to common stockholders per common share.

Reclassification
Certain

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
July 2015, the FASB issued the ASU No. 2015-11
“Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”
(“ASU 2015-11”). The amendments in this ASU do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out
(LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured
using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of this ASU at the lower
of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less
reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured
using LIFO or the retail inventory method. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. During the nine months ended September
30, 2017, the Company adopted the methodologies prescribed by ASU 2015-11 and deemed that the adoption of the ASU did not have
a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In
April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
“Compensation – Stock Compensation”
(topic 718). The FASB
issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based
payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified,
including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on
the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company adopted the methodologies
prescribed by ASU 2016-09 and deemed that the adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
“Leases (Topic 842
).” Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required
to recognize, for all leases of 12 months or more, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the
right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of
financial statements better understand the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. This ASU is effective for public reporting
companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be adopted
using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on its consolidated
financial statements and disclosures.
In
April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations
and Licensing (Topic 606)”.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net) (Topic 606)”. These amendments provide additional
clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance
obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides
a customer with either a right to use an entity’s intellectual property or a right to access an entity’s intellectual
property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal
versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10
and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, which the Company intends to adopt for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the standard and does
not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In
May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements
and Practical Expedients”,
which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash
consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition and is effective during the same period as ASU 2014-09. The Company is
currently evaluating the standard and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements
and disclosures.
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. The Company is currently
in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”,
which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity
transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The updated guidance is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the
update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,”
which provides 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. This standard is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2018. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “
Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic
480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement
of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception”
. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting
for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments
(or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current
accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible
instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part
II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence
of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite
deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain
mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This
ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating
the effect that ASU 2017-11 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In
September 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13,
Revenue
Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842).
The
new standard, among other things, provides additional implementation guidance with respect to Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) Topic 606 and ASC Topic 842. ASU 2017-03 is effective for annual and interim fiscal reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact
on its implementation strategies or its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material
effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Securities
Purchase Agreement
Effective
December 1, 2016, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd. (the “
Purchaser
”),
an entity controlled by the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchaser,
for a cash purchase price of $2,500,000, securities comprising: (i) the Debenture, (ii) Series A Warrants, and (iii) Series B
Warrants. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $25,000 to the Purchaser and issue to the Purchaser 500,000 shares
of Common Stock with a grant date fair value of $85,000 to cover the Purchaser’s legal fees. The Company recorded as a debt
discount of $110,000 related to the cash paid and shares issued to Purchaser for legal fees.
The
Debenture with an initial principal balance of $2,500,000, due December 30, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”), will accrue
interest on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at the rate of 12% per annum. Interest
is payable quarterly on (i) January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on January 1, 2017, (ii) on each date the Purchaser
converts, in whole or in part, the Debenture into Common Stock (as to that principal amount then being converted), and (iii) on
the day that is 20 days following the Company’s notice to redeem some or all of the outstanding principal of the
Debenture (only as to that principal amount then being redeemed) and on the Maturity Date. The Debenture is convertible into shares
of the Company’s Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder, at an initial conversion price of $0.15 per share,
subject to adjustment. In the event of default occurs, the conversion price shall be the lesser of (i) the initial conversion
price of $0.15 and (ii) 50% of the average of the 3 lowest trading prices during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the
applicable conversion date.
The
Series A Warrants to acquire up to 16,666,667 shares of Common Stock at the Series A Initial Exercise Price of $0.15 and expiring
on December 1, 2021. The Warrants may be exercised immediately upon the issuance date, upon the option of the holder.
The
Series B Warrants to acquire up to 16,666,650 shares of Common Stock at the Series B Initial Exercise Price of $0.0001 and expiring
on December 1, 2021. The Series B Warrants were exercised immediately upon the issuance date. The Company received gross proceeds
of $1,667 upon exercise of the warrants.
Derivative
Analysis
Because
the conversion feature included in the convertible note payable and warrants have full reset adjustments tied to future issuances
of equity securities by the Company, they are subject to derivative liability treatment under Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting
Standard Codification (“Section 815-40-15”).
Generally
accepted accounting principles require that:
a.
|
Derivative
financial instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance and then adjusted to fair value at each subsequent
balance sheet date with any change in fair value reported in the statement of operations; and
|
|
|
b.
|
The
classification of derivative financial instruments be reassessed as of each balance sheet date and, if appropriate, be reclassified
as a result of events during the reporting period then ended.
|
Upon
issuance of the note, a debt discount was recorded and any difference in comparison to the face value of the note, representing
the fair value of the conversion feature and the warrants in excess of the debt discount, was immediately charged to derivative
expense. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the
effective interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations. There was unamortized debt discount of $2,438,778 as of September 30, 2017.
The
fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated using a Monte Carlo pricing model. See Note 3 for the estimates and
assumptions used.

District Court, Southern District of New York, against Stephen Shamus, the former Chief Marketing Officer of the Company whose
employment was terminated on October 27, 2016 (the “SDNY Lawsuit”). In the SDNY Lawsuit, the Company alleges, among
other things, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of corporation assets, breach of contract, and conversion, against Mr.
Shamus relating to the Company’s assertion that he used his position with the Company to improperly obtain memorabilia at
the Company’s comic conventions which he would then sell and retain the profits from for his own benefit. On November 16,

alleges breach of contract and unjust enrichment against the Company and seeks compensatory damages in the form of cash. The lawsuit
was concluded on February 15, 2017 with no financial impact on the Company’s financial statements.
DNJ
Lawsuit
On
December 16, 2016, the Company filed a Complaint (the “DNJ Complaint”) and commenced a lawsuit in the United States
District Court, District of New Jersey (the “DNJ Lawsuit”), against Gareb Shamus, the founder and former Chief Executive
Officer of the Company; Pivot Media LLC and 4 Brothers LLC, entities owned and operated by Gareb Shamus; Stephen Shamus, the former
Chief Marketing Officer of the Company whose employment was terminated on October 27, 2016; Kenneth Shamus, a former director
of the Company; Eric Weisblum; GEM Funding LLC; It’s All Normal LLC; and various other defendants (collectively, the “DNJ

At
September 30, 2017, the total intrinsic value of warrants outstanding and exercisable was $1,953,333 and $1,953,333, respectively.
The
expected warrant term is based on the contractual term. The expected option term is computed using the “simplified”
method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term
of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable
basis upon which to estimate expected term. The expected volatility is based on historical-volatility of the Company when stock
prices were publicly available. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the
expected term of the related option at the valuation date. Dividend yield is based on historical trends.

THE
FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF OUR PLAN OF OPERATION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND RELATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
THAT RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. THESE STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES
AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT
FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
THESE RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, THOSE LISTED UNDER “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” AND “RISK
FACTORS” AND THOSE INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
Overview
We
intend that this discussion provides information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain
key items in those financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting
principles affect our financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying
notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, included elsewhere in this report.
We
are currently a producer of Comic Conventions across the United States that celebrate movies, television shows, video games, technology,
toys, social networking/gaming platforms, comic books and graphic novels. Our Comic Conventions provide entertainment for fans
of the pop culture genre, as well as a platform for the sales, marketing, promotions, public relations, advertising and sponsorship
opportunities for entertainment companies, toy companies, gaming companies, publishing companies, marketers, corporate sponsors,
and retailers which wish to reach our audience.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company was able to utilize internal controls and operating procedures employed
by the Company’s new management during 2016 in order to stabilize the business. With the recently reformed internal controls
in place, management continued to carefully analyze new markets for the Company’s Comic Conventions. The Company’s
new internal accounting team and new sales team have continued to implement the policies put in place by management throughout
2016. Additionally, the Company is working to greatly refine and enhance its mass media, digital, and grass-roots marketing techniques,
and to implement a plan to commence marketing efforts earlier in each market.
Plan
of Operation
At
present, the Company is engaged primarily in the live event business and derives income mainly from: (i) the production of Comic
Conventions, which involves the sales of admissions and exhibitor booth space, and (ii) sale of sponsorships and advertising.
We plan on continuing to enhance our Comic Conventions by featuring a broader array of attractions and an
enhanced mix of celebrity talent. Further, we are carefully researching and identifying new geographic markets for our Comic Conventions.
It is the intention of the Company to continue to increase top line revenue by employing more sophisticated techniques to market
those conventions. It is also the intention of the Company to continue to employ methods to reduce operating costs.
Concurrently with the Company’s stepped-up
efforts in the Comic Convention business, the Company issued a Press Release on August 16, 2017 announcing that it is entering
the digital media space. The Company, through the creation of
WizPop
(a daily news service) and the re-introduction of
a digital version of
Wizard Magazine
, the Company intends to greatly expand its creation of compelling video and editorial
content, reaching fans via social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, as well as the Company’s website,
www.wizardworld.com. The creation and distribution of text and video editorial content began during August 2017.
The company believes that it occupies a desirable space in the realm of live and digital platforms.
The Company is also actively exploring other
business opportunities that may, or may not come to fruition: Such initiatives may include international digital distribution
opportunities, especially in Asia, as well as opportunities for the international production of live events. Concurrently, the
Company is looking at the feasibility of creating a fixed installation that will be used for the creation of content and the sales
of merchandise. Finally, the Company is exploring combinations, mergers and acquisitions with third party entities to work together
on marketing, e-commerce, merchandising and branding initiatives. The Company has also announced that it has obtained the right
to program two channels in China, one being a linear advertising supported channel and the other an SVOD channel. The Company
is actively engaging in discussions with content suppliers to program the channels.
We currently expect to produce 14 live
events during 2017, although that number of conventions may change as we evaluate locations and venues.

Convention
Revenue
Convention revenue was $5,233,283 for
the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $6,267,631 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2016, a decrease
of $1,034,348. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to lower attendance at the shows. The Company produced
four events during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to four events during the comparable three months ended
September 30, 2016. Average revenue generated per event during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,308,321
as compared to $1,566,908 during the comparable period in 2016.
ConBox
Revenue
ConBox
revenue was $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $137,020 for the comparable three months ended September
30, 2016, a decrease of $137,020. The decrease in ConBox revenue is attributable to the new management team’s decision
to primarily focus on driving the convention business forward, and to suspend the active production and distribution of ConBox.
Gross
Profit (Loss)
Gross profit percentage for the convention
segment decreased from a gross profit of 38% during the three months ended September 30, 2016, to a gross deficit of (0.1%)
during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Company produced four events during the three months ended September 30,
2017, as compared to four events during the comparable three months ended September 30, 2016. The gross profit percentage decrease
was attributable to decreased attendance at each show.
Gross
profit percentage for the ConBox segment decreased from a gross margin of 44.6% during the three months ended September
30, 2016, to a gross deficit of 0% during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The gross profit percentage decrease was
attributable to a decrease in revenue.
Operating
Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2017, was $1,271,926, as compared to $1,963,476 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The change
is attributable to enhanced operating efficiency, a decrease in employee compensation and general and administrative expenses
offset by a slight increase in consulting expenses. The $513,180 decrease in compensation is primarily attributable to
a decline in both headcount and officer compensation. General and administrative expenses decreased by $226,592 since the prior
three months’ comparative period due in part to tighter controls over spending.
(Loss)
Income from Operations
Loss from operations for the three months
ended September 30, 2017, was $1,271,901 as compared to income from operations of $476,464 for the three months ended September
30, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to declines in attendance, with increased costs in the area of event production
and losses on convention improvements designed to enhance the fan experience.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income (expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2017, was expense of $2,418,538, as compared to expense of $111,968
for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The change is primarily attributable to the change in fair value of derivative
liabilities giving rise to loss of $2,306,470 during the current quarter, in relation to the derivative liability of the convertible
note and related warrants. In addition, the Company recorded $112,068 interest expense during the three months ended September
30, 2017. The Company did not sustain a loss during the three months ended September 30, 2017 on the CONtv joint venture with
Cinedigm but recorded a loss of $36,876 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 upon the disposal of equipment.
Net
Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholder
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholder
for the three months ended September 30, 2017, was net loss of $(3,695,439) or loss per basic share of $(0.05),
compared to net income of $365,216 or income per basic share of $0.01, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Inflation
did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations for the applicable period. Other than the foregoing, management
knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results
of operations.

Convention
Revenue
Convention revenue was $13,617,324
for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $20,768,937 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2016, a
decrease of $7,151,613. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the decreased number of shows run as well
as lower attendance at the shows. The Company produced twelve events during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared
to fifteen events during the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2016. Average revenue generated per event during the nine
months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,134,777 as compared to $1,384,596 during the comparable period in 2016.
ConBox
Revenue
ConBox
revenue was $84,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $608,025 for the comparable nine months ended
September 30, 2016, a decrease of $523,445. The decrease in ConBox revenue is attributable to the new management team’s
decision to primarily focus on driving the convention business forward, and not continuing with the ConBox operation.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit percentage for the convention segment decreased from a gross profit of 34% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016,
to a gross profit of 0.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company produced twelve events during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to fifteen events during the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The gross profit percentage decrease was attributable to decreased attendance at each show based on inefficient marketing and
reduced celebrity talent.
Gross
profit percentage for the ConBox segment increased from a gross deficit of 7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016,
to a gross profit of 5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The gross profit percentage increase was attributable
to an overall decrease in fulfillment costs.
Operating
Expenses
Operating expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017, was $4,486,487, as compared to $5,972,576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change
is attributable to a decrease in employee compensation and general and administrative expenses offset by a slight increase in
consulting expenses. The $1,004,071 decrease in compensation is primarily attributable to a decline in both headcount and
officer compensation. General and administrative expenses decreased by $580,225 since the prior nine months’ comparative
period due to a decrease in service fees, travel and web development.
(Loss)
Income from Operations
Loss from operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017, was $4,454,857 as compared to income from operations of $1,080,971 for the nine months ended September
30, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to producing three fewer events, combined with increased costs in the area of
event production and overall losses for the conventions as discussed above.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income (expenses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was expense of $950,625, as compared to expense of $262,853 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change is primarily attributable to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities
giving rise to a loss of $661,098 during the current quarter, in relation to the derivative liability of the convertible note
and related warrants. In addition, the Company recorded $288,742 interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The Company did not sustain a loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 on the CONtv joint venture with Cinedigm but
recorded a loss on the CONtv joint venture of $225,000 and a loss of $36,876 upon the disposal of equipment during the nine months
ended September 30, 2016.
Net
Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholder
Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholder
for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was net loss of $(5,404,839) or loss per basic share of $(0.08), compared
to a net income of $749,885 or income per basic share of $0.01, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Inflation
did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations for the applicable period. Other than the foregoing, management
knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results
of operations.

At
September 30, 2017, we had working capital deficit of $8,674,017, as compared to working capital deficit of $3,636,420, at December
31, 2016, a decrease of $5,037,597. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, prepaid
expenses and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and derivative liabilities. These were offset by increases in
accounts receivable and decreases in unearned revenue.
Net
Cash
Net
cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was $3,128,003 and $1,245,272, respectively.
The net (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $(5,405,482) and $818,118, respectively.
Going
Concern Analysis
The Company had a loss from operations
of $4,454,857 and $1,182,246 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and working capital deficit (excluding the derivative liability) of $1,176,034 and $1,514,182,
respectively. We have evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations and have
concluded that, due to these conditions, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
through November 2018.
If
necessary, management believes that both related parties (management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company) and
potential external sources of debt and/or equity financing may be obtained based on management’s history of being able to
raise capital from both internal and external sources coupled with current favorable market conditions. Therefore, the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. While the Company believes in the
viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise additional funds
if necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon the ability to further implement the business plan, generate sufficient revenues and to control operating expenses.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of September 30, 2017, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.”
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s). Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, varying from 3 to 5 years or, when applicable, the life
of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Derivative
Liability
The
Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify
as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB ASC.
The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet
date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in
fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation
of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then
the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In
circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also
other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative
instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The
classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject
to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative
instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement
of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The
Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB ASC (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an
embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step
approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including
evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The
Company utilizes the Monte Carlo pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value
of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income
or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB ASC (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination
of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under
Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that
has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires
increased disclosures.
The
estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carryforwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability
of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management
makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous
estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in
these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual
taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company follows Paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB ASC for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is
realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria
are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered
to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Unearned
convention revenue is deposits received for conventions that have not yet taken place, which are fully or partially refundable
depending upon the terms and conditions of the agreements.
Unearned
ConBox revenue is non-refundable up-front payments for products. These payments are initially deferred and subsequently recognized
over the subscription period, typically three months, and upon shipment of the product.
The
Company recognizes cost of revenues in the period in which the revenues was earned. In the event the Company incurs cost of revenues
for conventions that are yet to occur, the Company records such amounts as prepaid expenses and such prepaid expenses are expensed
during the period the convention takes place.
Equity–based
compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “
Compensation
– Stock Compensation
”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation
net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite
service period of the award.
Restricted
stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally
vest over the requisite service periods, typically over a four-year period (vesting on a straight–line basis). The fair
value of a stock award is equal to the fair market value of a share of Company stock on the grant date.
The
fair value of option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes
option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are input into the model. These assumptions are the expected
stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock
and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s
Common stock over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based
on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company
has never paid or declared any cash dividends on our Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on our Common stock in
the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical experience.
Determining
the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the
subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards
represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially
different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only
for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the equity–based
compensation could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.
The
Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505-40, “
Equity
Based Payments to Non–Employees
”. The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either
the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions
as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments
is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instruments
is re-measured each reporting period over the requisite service period.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
We
follow Paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37
of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency
and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy
which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy
gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described
below:
|
●
|
Level
1 – Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
2 – Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly
observable as of the reporting date; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3 – Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
|
Financial
assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or
similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
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. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within
more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement of the instrument.
The
carrying amount of the Company’s assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and unearned revenue approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those
instruments.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
“Leases (Topic 842).”
Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required
to recognize, for all leases of 12 months or more, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the
right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of
financial statements better understand the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. This ASU is effective for public reporting
companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be adopted
using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on its consolidated
financial statements and disclosures.
In
April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations
and Licensing (Topic 606)”
. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net) (Topic 606)”.
These amendments provide additional
clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance
obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides
a customer with either a right to use an entity’s intellectual property or a right to access an entity’s intellectual
property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal
versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10
and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, which the Company intends to adopt for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and does not
expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In
May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements
and Practical Expedients”
, which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash
consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition and is effective during the same period as ASU 2014-09. The Company is
currently evaluating the standard and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements
and disclosures.
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. The Company is currently
in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”,
which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity
transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The updated guidance is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the
update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material
effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
