ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

Business Development.

 

TBC Global News Network, Inc. (“Company”) was formed in Delaware in June 1997 under the name SyCo Comics and Distribution Inc. and is the successor to a limited partnership named SyCo Comics and Distribution formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on January 15, 1997, by Sy Robert Picon and William Spears, the co-founders and principal stockholders of the Company. On February 17, 1999, SyCo Comics and Distribution Inc. changed its name to Syconet.com, Inc. With the filing of Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 12, 2002, the Company was redomiciled from Delaware to Nevada, and its number of authorized common shares was increased to 500,000,000 (see Exhibits 2.1 and 3.1).

 

On November 21, 2002, the Company amended its articles of incorporation changing its name to Point Group Holdings, Incorporated (see Exhibit 3.2). On March 5, 2003, the Company again amended the articles of incorporation so that (a) an increase in the authorized capital stock of the Company can be approved by the board of directors without shareholder consent; and (b) a decrease in the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (a reverse split) can be approved by the board of directors without shareholder consent (see Exhibit 3.3). On July 11, 2003, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares to 900,000,000 (see Exhibit 3.4). On January 26, 2004, the name of the Company was changed to “GameZnFlix, Inc” by the filing of amended articles of incorporation (see Exhibit 3.5).

 

On December 16, 2004, the Company amended the articles of incorporation to increase the authorized common stock of the Company to 2,000,000,000 shares (see Exhibit 3.6). On July 19, 2005, the articles of incorporation were further amended to increase the number of authorized common shares to 4,000,000,000 (see Exhibit 3.7), and on March 21, 2006 increased to 25,000,000,000 (see Exhibit 3.8). On September 6, 2007, a 1,000 to 1 reverse split of common stock took place. On December 31, 2007, 100,000,000 shares of Series B common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock were created by an amendment to the articles of incorporation, along with reducing the authorized common stock to 5,000,000,000 shares (see Exhibit 3.9). On April 9, 2009, a 10,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock became effective.

 

During the period of July 2002 to September 2002, the Company acquired AmCorp Group, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, and Naturally Safe Technologies, Inc. also a Nevada corporation. In February 2005, AmCorp amended its articles of incorporation, changing its name to GameZnFlix Racing and Merchandising, Inc. AmCorp provided services to companies that desired to be listed on the OTCBB and Naturally Safe held patents on a product that assisted Christmas trees in retaining water. Both these companies have ceased operations. In September 2003, the Company acquired Veegeez.com, LLC, a California limited liability company. This company has ceased operations.

 

  2  

 

 

On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with TBC Today, Inc., a Nevada corporation, where the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of TBC. Under this agreement, all 11,000,000 shares of TBC Today, Inc. common stock issued and outstanding will be acquired by the Company for 11,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. On August 14, 2009, the Company issued 11,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to the shareholders of TBC Today, Inc. in completing this acquisition. This company has ceased operations.

 

On May 7, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State (see Exhibit 3.10). This amendment changed the name of the Company to TBC Global News Network, Inc. This corporate action had previously been approved by consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Sterling Yacht Sales, Inc. and it stockholders, Glenn W. McMachen, Sr., and Arlene McMachen (see Exhibit 2.2). Under the terms of this agreement, the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Sterling. In return, the Company agreed to issue restricted shares of Company common stock to Sterling’s stockholders in an aggregate amount resulting in an 82.5% ownership of the Company by those individuals.

 

On September 1, 2014, the Company determined that Sterling and its stockholders materially breached this agreement and therefore the agreement is null and void. Therefore, Sterling is not a subsidiary of the Company and the Company has no further obligations under this agreement.

 

On April 27, 2015, a 3,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock became effective.

 

On September 3, 2015, the Company completed an Acquisition Agreement under which the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company formed on November 5, 2014 (“Stimulating Software”), the acquisition of all the common stock of Inner Four, Inc., a Florida corporation formed on June 19, 2007 (“Inner Four”), and all of the common and preferred stock of Play Celebrity Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 5, 2015 (“Play Celebrity”). This acquisition was accomplished through a payment by the Company of common stock and preferred stock. This Acquisition is providing assets and revenues to the Company as Inner Four has had revenues and operations from 2007 to the present. See Exhibit 2.3.

 

Under the Acquisition Agreement, the Company paid to John Swartz, the owner of all the outstanding shares of Inner Four and Stimulating Software, 2,575 restricted shares of Company Series A preferred stock. Mr. Swartz also entered into a consulting agreement with the Company under which he is paid 3,307,420 currently restricted shares of Company common stock. As the consideration for the sale of the Play Celebrity stock to the Company, the Company issued to Team AJ and Chasin an aggregate of 1,500 restricted shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company, and 27,429,000 restricted shares of the Company common stock. A portion of these shares was transferred to AF Trust Company, a Florida corporation, and Kaptiva Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company. All of the shares of common and preferred stock have registration rights as set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement.

 

  3  

 

 

Under the Acquisition Agreement, the Company has the option to purchase other companies owned by Mr. Swartz, namely Navy Duck, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Ocean Red, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and Purple Penguin.com, Inc., a Florida corporation. Should the Company exercise this option it will pay Mr. Swartz the sum of $1,500,000, with certain adjustments as specified in the Agreement.

 

As part of this Acquisition, the Company entered into a Design and License Agreement with Navy Duck, Ocean Red, and Purple Penguin.com, Inc.

 

Current Business of the Company.

 

The acquisition of Inner Four, Stimulating Software and Play Celebrity leads to a business model that allows for the development of new rebranded games. Stimulating Software is a more free to play versus Inner Four which is a pay to play business model. Stimulating Software and Inner Four (both referred to as “GameCo”) have over 500 active and inactive mobile games and have over 35,000,000 installs on mobile devices. The distinction between the companies is the free to play or commonly referred to as “freemium” and the pay to play which is when users need to purchase the mobile application in the their respective app store.

 

Play Celebrity brings agreements to create mobile games for artists, celebrities and athletes. Play Celebrity has partnered with Top Fan to create exciting products for the fans of these celebrities. The combined 500 mobile games is a starting point for the business model on a go forward basis. The GameCo mobile apps combined with the celebrities, artists and athletes that are apart of Play Celebrity makes for a business model that allows the company to build new applications by using the games that are already developed. An example of this is the Kim Kardashian application launched in 2014. This application was previously titled twice before finally becoming a hit game featuring Kim Kardashian (commonly referred to as “Re-Skinning”). The positive side of re-skinning an existing game is significant. As an example, by resigning you save time, development costs are significantly reduced, testing the product and removing bugs is eliminated or significantly reduced and time to get to market is accelerated from months to days.

 

The combined company will take the 500 existing games and begin the process of re skinning these games for artists and celebrities. The Company is geared to have Purple Penguin (owned by the previous owner of these 3 companies) perform the re-skinning. The Company has established a license agreement with Purple Penguin that allows the company to pay $500 as an advance on royalties (20% royalty will be paid to Purple Penguin) for Purple Penguin to create the new re-skinned game and prepare it for launch.

 

  4  

 

 

The marketing plan for the company involves two key ingredients. The first ingredient is to market new celebrity games to our existing user base. The second key ingredient is to have the artist, celebrity or athlete market the product to their fan base using social networks and other available media. This marketing plan is designed to keep the Company’s marketing expenses marginal and at the same time allow the Company to continue to expand its base of users.

 

The combined companies currently have over 1,000,000 monthly active users or installs. The majority of these installs come from new products under stimulating software and from legacy installations from Inner Four. The vast majority of the games is available in the iTunes store today and can be ported to Google, Amazon and other distribution points. This store expansion is key to the Company’s 12-month strategy. It is the Company’s goal to have as many games available on as many available platforms by the end of 2015 into early 2016. Further, the Company will begin creating and releasing new re-skinned games in the near future.

  

The Company sees tremendous competition in the gaming application space. However, the Company believes there is little competition in the celebrity space. The Company believes the primary reasons for the lack of competition in this space is the difficulty to reach the celebrity, the significant costs and time to create a new game and the ability for companies to raise the capital without demonstrating a proof of business model at scale. The Company believes it is ahead of the current competition as it has reduced the costs of creating the underlying games and has signed agreements to reach the artists, celebrities and athletes and finally we have a large library of games that currently generate revenue.

 

The business will incorporate many new strategies in attracting new users, retaining new users and expanding its core platform. Some of these strategies will include the use of licensed music, videos and other content. These strategies we believe allow us to distinguish our celebrity games from other games in the market place. The current marketplace does not have a lot of licensed music content application or a lot of licensed video content either. The Company also intends to work closely with new partners to develop a social network that underlies our platform. With so many games and with a large current monthly user base, the Company believes it can establish a core social network for the users to share in their game and fan experiences The Company’s agreement with Top Fan allows for those types of social behaviors to occur.

 

At the present time, the Company has only one employee, John Fleming.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Risks Related to the Business of the Company.

 

(a)         Very Limited Operations During Past Five Years May Affect Ability of Company to Survive.

 

The Company has had no operations from August 2010 to August 2014; prior to that it had a substantial record of revenue-producing operations. Consequently, there is only a limited operating history upon which to base an assumption that the Company will be able to achieve its business plans. In addition, the Company has limited assets. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate significant revenues in the future; and there can be no assurance that the Company will operate at a profitable level. If the Company is unable to obtain or acquire a business and generate sufficient revenues so that it can profitably operate, the Company’s business plan will not succeed. Accordingly, the Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business.

 

  5  

 

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $7,308 for the year ended December 31, 2013, net income of $3,096,662 (due solely to a debt write-off) for the year ended December 31, 2014, and a net loss of $73,862 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $74,448,788. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

(b)         The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Has Expressed Substantial Doubt About the Company’s ability to Continue as a Going Concern, Which May Hinder the Ability to Obtain Future Financing.

 

In its report dated August 5, 2015, the Company’s independent auditor stated that the financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2014 were prepared assuming that the Company would continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of cash flow constraint, an accumulated deficit, and recurring losses from operations. The Company continues to experience net losses. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability to execute a business combination and thereafter to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of the Company's securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans from various financial institutions where possible. The continued net losses and stockholders' deficit increases the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

 

(c)         The Company Has Issued and in the Future May Issue More Shares in an Acquisition, Which May Result in Substantial Dilution.

 

Under the Acquisition Agreement dated September 3, 2015, the Company issued a total of 43,355,680 shares of common stock. Under this Agreement, the Company is obligated to issue additional shares to the 4 companies controlled by John Acunto so that they collectively own 70% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. The Company will make the determination in the near future as to when to issue these additional shares of common stock. Under the Agreement, the Company also issued a total of 4,725 shares of Series A preferred stock. Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company common stock as determined by dividing 1,000 by the amount that is a 10% discount to the average of the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the exchange on which this common stock is traded over the 10 trading day period ending immediately prior to the conversion date. These issuances result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders of the Company.

 

  6  

 

 

Any further acquisition effected by the Company may also result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of the Company’s common stock held by its then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by the Company’s then existing stockholders. The Company’s Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of its stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially and adversely affected.

 

(d)         Games Could Become Obsolete Which Could Affect Revenue.

 

The games we own and operate could become obsolete by the release of new technologies in the smart phone space.

 

(e)         Games Could be Removed by Resellers Which Could Affect Revenue.

 

The games the Company now owns and operates could also be removed of its resellers such as Apple’s iTunes, Google’s Google Play store, or Amazon. These companies have the right to remove any game for any reason they deem fit. The Company would not have the capital to sustain a litigation in the event the Company believes its games were removed for invalid reasons.

 

(f)         Account Could be Suspended Which Could Affect Company Operations.

 

The Company’s App resellers such as Apple, Google and Amazon could suspend the Company’s entire account if it submitted an inappropriate application. This could cause significant customer service issues and impact our revenue stream. The main cause if the automation system used to approve applications. The Company intends to submit celebrity applications that use the name and likeness of famous individuals. This can cause the automated system to reject the application and cause all of our applications in that account to be suspended until the application is approved by a human being at the reseller.

 

(g)         Game and Application Business is Very Competitive.

 

The game and application business has exploded over the past seven years, especially since the launch of the smart phone. Today, there are over 1,000,000 game and application developers worldwide. The Company believes all of these companies could potentially replicate the Company’s business model in some way, shape or form. The application space is very crowded and according to www.statista.com there are over 5,000,000 mobile applications with over 1.8 billion users. The Company currently owns several hundred applications which represents a fraction of the number of applications and therefore makes getting our applications noticed and attracting users very challenging.

 

  7  

 

 

With so many applications and companies generating over 1 billion dollars in annual revenues, it can be challenging to acquire new users. The average cost of a new user ranges from $2.50 to as high as $11.00. This cost to acquire a user can contribute to a drain of the Company’s cash flow and capital reserves. Further, the Company believes that its system of marketing to existing users reduces its costs. In the event that the Company’s application distribution points exclude outside advertising within the applications its ability to reduce user acquisition cost could be significantly higher.

 

(h) Celebrity Agreements Could be Uncertain.

 

The Company will sign agreements to provide applications and games to celebrities. These celebrities can pose a risk to the company in several areas. First, the celebrity could withdraw the Company’s right to use their re likeness and image due to movie rights, music holder rights or other rights that their agreements with us would allow them to rescind there agreement with us to use their likeness and image. Second, the celebrity could be frustrated by their fans reaction to the game and claim the game is affecting their brand or their likeness value and the marketplace and could terminate the agreement and the use of their likeness and image in the game. Last, the celebrity could have a series of bad press, commit a crime or do something that may injure our reputation causing us to remove the availability of the game despite it’s popularity or revenue.

 

(i)         No Assurance of Funding.

 

There is no guarantee that funding sources, or any others, will be available in the future, or that they will be available on favorable terms. In addition, this funding amount may not be adequate for the Company to fully implement its business plan. Thus, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company’s business plan. Regardless of whether the Company’s cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company’s operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash.

 

If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or may be required to reduce the scope of its planned product development and marketing efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on its business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, which could require the company to:

 

· curtail operations significantly;

 

· sell assets;

 

· seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require the Company to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or

 

  8  

 

 

· explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of the Company.

 

To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on the Company’s operations. Regardless of whether the Company’s access to financing proves to be inadequate to meet the Company’s operational needs, the Company may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to existing stockholders.

 

(j)         The Company May Be Subject to Certain Tax Consequences in Its Business, Which May Increase the Cost of Doing Business.

 

The Company may not be able to structure its acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with the Company or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction. Currently, a transaction may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state tax provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target entity; however, the Company cannot guarantee that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

 

(k)         The Company May Be Subject to Further Government Regulation That Would Adversely Affect Its Operations.

 

Although the Company will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, management believes it will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since it will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations that result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Investment Company Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.

 

  9  

 

 

(l)         The Company’s Success Is Largely Dependent on the Abilities of Its Personnel.

 

The Company’s success may be dependent upon the hiring of qualified administrative personnel. None of the Company’s officers and directors has an employment agreement with the Company; therefore, there can be no assurance that these personnel will remain employed by the Company after the termination of such agreements. Should any of these individuals cease to be affiliated with the Company for any reason before qualified replacements could be found, there could be material adverse effects on the Company’s business and prospects in that replacement personnel may not understand the proposed business of the company. Also, the Company does not carry any key person insurance on any of the officers and directors of the Company.

    

(m)         Limitations on Liability, and Indemnification, of Directors and Officers May Result in Expenditures by Company.

 

The Company’s articles of incorporation include provisions to eliminate, to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes as in effect from time to time, the personal liability of directors of the Company for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duties as directors. The bylaws of the Company also include provisions to the effect that the Company may indemnify any director, officer, or employee. Any limitation on the liability of any director, or indemnification of directors, officer, or employees, could result in substantial expenditures being made by the Company in covering any liability of such persons or in indemnifying them.

 

Risks Relating to the Company’s Common Stock.

 

(a)         The Company’s Common Stock May Be Traded Infrequently and In Low Volumes, Which May Negatively Affect the Ability to Sell Shares.

 

The shares of the Company’s common stock may trade infrequently and in low volumes on the OTC Markets Group, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who can generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such institutionally oriented persons, they tend to be risk-averse in this environment and would be reluctant to follow an early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in the Company’s shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price.  The Company cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained.  Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.  Further, institutional and other investors may have investment guidelines that restrict or prohibit investing in securities traded in the over-the-counter market.  These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our securities, and could even result in the loss by investors of all or part of their investment.

 

  10  

 

 

(b)         The Company’s Common Stock Price May Be Volatile.

 

The future trading price of the Company’s common stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of the common stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control and may not be directly related to its operating performance. These factors include the following:

 

· price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;

 

· significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of business development companies or other financial services companies;

 

· changes in regulatory policies with respect to business development companies;

 

· actual or anticipated changes in earnings or fluctuations in operating results;

 

· general economic conditions and trends;

 

· loss of a major funding source; or

 

· departures of key personnel.

 

Due to the continued potential volatility of the stock price, the Company may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from the business.

 

(c)         Absence of Cash Dividends May Affect Investment Value of the Company’s Stock.

 

The board of directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the common stock for the foreseeable future and intends to retain any future earnings to finance the growth of the Company’s business. Payment of dividends, if any, will depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital requirements and the general operating and financial conditions of the Company as well as legal limitations on the payment of dividends out of paid-in capital.

 

(d)         No Assurance of a Public Trading Market and Risk of Low Priced Securities May Affect Market Value of the Company’s Stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such rules include Rule 3a51-1 and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because the Company’s securities may constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules (as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, largely traded in the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets), the rules would apply to the Company and its common stock.

 

  11  

 

 

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which established sales practice requirements for certain low price securities. Unless the transaction is exempt, it shall be unlawful for a broker or dealer to sell a penny stock to, or to effect the purchase of a penny stock by, any person unless prior to the transaction:

 

· the broker or dealer has approved the person’s account for transactions in penny stock pursuant to this rule; and

 

· the broker or dealer has received from the person a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stock, the broker or dealer must:

 

· obtain from the person information concerning the person’s financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives;

 

· reasonably determine that transactions in penny stock are suitable for that person, and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stock;

 

· deliver to the person a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the determination stating in a highlighted format that it is unlawful for the broker or dealer to affect a transaction in penny stock unless the broker or dealer has received, prior to the transaction, a written agreement to the transaction from the person, stating in a highlighted format immediately preceding the customer signature line that the broker or dealer is required to provide the person with the written statement, and the person should not sign and return the written statement to the broker or dealer if it does not accurately reflect the person’s financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives; and

 

· receive from the person a manually signed and dated copy of the written statement.

 

It is also required that disclosure be made as to the risks of investing in penny stock and the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, as well as current price quotations and the remedies and rights available in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Statements, on a monthly basis, must be sent to the investor listing recent prices for the penny stock and information on the limited market.

 

There has been a very limited public market for the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to have a market maker file an application on the Company’s behalf with the Over the Counter Bulletin Board in order to make a market in the Company’s common stock. However, until this happens, if the market maker is successful with such application, and even thereafter, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the Company’s securities. The regulations governing penny stocks, as set forth above, sometimes limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s common stock and thus, ultimately, the ability of the investors to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

  12  

 

 

Potential stockholders of the Company should also be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

· control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 

· manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 

· “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

 

· excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

 

· the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.

 

(e)         Failure To Remain Current In Reporting Requirements Could Result in the Company Being Delisting From The Over The Counter Bulletin Board.

 

Companies that trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (such as the Company) must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the Bulletin Board. When the Company becomes listed on that market, if it fails to remain current in the Company’s reporting requirements, the Company could be delisted from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.

 

In addition, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., which operates the Bulletin Board, has adopted a change to its Eligibility Rule. The change makes those Over the Counter Bulletin Board issuers that are cited for filing delinquency in its Form 10-K’s/Form 10-Q’s three times in a 24-month period and those Bulletin Board issuers removed for failure to file such reports two times in a 24-month period ineligible for quotation on the Bulletin Board for a period of one year. Under this rule, a company filing with the extension time set forth in a Notice of Late Filing (Form 12b-25) is not considered late. This rule does not apply to a company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K (but failure to timely file a Form 8-K could have other ramifications for the Company).

 

As a result of these rules, the market liquidity for the Company’s common stock could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

  13  

 

 

(f)         Failure to Maintain Market Makers May Affect Value of the Company’s Stock.

 

If the Company is unable to maintain National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. member broker/dealers as market makers, the liquidity of the common stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of common stock which could be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for the common stock than might otherwise prevail. Furthermore, the lack of market makers could result in persons being unable to buy or sell shares of the common stock on any secondary market. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to maintain such market makers.

 

(g)         Issuance of Common Stock in Exchange for Services or to Repay Debt Would Dilute Proportionate Ownership and Voting Rights, and Could Have a Negative Impact on the Market Price of the Company’s Stock.

 

The Company’s board of directors may issue shares of common stock to pay for debt or services, without further approval by its stockholders based upon such factors as the board of directors may deem relevant at that time.  It is likely that the Company will issue securities to pay for services and reduce debt in the future.  It is possible that the Company will issue additional shares of common stock under circumstances it may deem appropriate at the time.

 

(h)         If The Company is Unable to Raise Necessary Additional Capital as Needed, Its Business May Fail or its Operating Results and the Stock Price May Be Materially Adversely Affected.

 

To secure additional needed financing, the Company may need to borrow money or sell more securities, which may reduce the value of its outstanding common stock. Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of its common stock.  If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities may have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for the Company.

 

(i)         No Cumulative Voting May Affect Ability of Some Stockholders to Influence Mangement of Company.

 

Holders of the shares of common stock of the Company are not entitled to accumulate their votes for the election of directors or otherwise. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares present at a meeting of stockholders will be able to elect all of the directors of the Company, and the minority stockholders will not be able to elect a representative to the Company’s board of directors.

  14  

 

 

(j)         Shares Eligible For Future Sale Could Affect the Price of the Common Stock.

 

All of the shares currently held by management and the major stockholders have been issued in reliance on the private placement exemption under the Securities Act of 1933. Such shares will not be available for sale in the open market without separate registration except in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. In general, under Rule 144 a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares acquired in a non-public transaction for at least one year, including persons who may be deemed affiliates of the Company (as that term is defined under that rule) would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, provided that certain current public information is then available. If a substantial number of the shares owned by these stockholders were sold pursuant to Rule 144 or a registered offering, the market price of the common stock at that time could be adversely affected.

 

ITEM 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited and audited financial statements and related notes, and the audited and pro forma financial statements of the three companies acquired by the Company, presented in a separate section of this report following Item 15, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Overview.

 

On September 3, 2015, the Company completed an Acquisition Agreement under which the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Stimulating Software, the acquisition of all the common stock of Inner Four, Inc., and all of the common and preferred stock of Play Celebrity Games, Inc.

 

The acquisition of Inner Four, Stimulating Software and Play Celebrity leads to a business model that allows for the development of new rebranded games. Stimulating Software is a more free to play versus Inner Four which is a pay to play business model. Stimulating Software is a more free to play versus Inner Four which is a pay to play business model.

 

Play Celebrity brings agreements to create mobile games for artists, celebrities and athletes. Play Celebrity has partnered with Top Fan to create exciting products for the fans of these celebrities.

 

The combined company will take the 500 existing games and begin the process of re skinning these games for artists and celebrities. The Company is geared to have Purple Penguin (owned by the previous owner of these 3 companies) perform the re-skinning.

 

  15  

 

 

The business will incorporate many new strategies in attracting new users, retaining new users and expanding its core platform. Some of these strategies will include the use of licensed music, videos and other content. These strategies we believe allow us to distinguish our celebrity games from other games in the market place. The current marketplace does not have a lot of licensed music content application or a lot of licensed video content either. The Company also intends to work closely with new partners to develop a social network that underlies our platform. With so many games and with a large current monthly user base, the Company believes it can establish a core social network for the users to share in their game and fan experiences. The Company’s agreement with Top Fan allows for those types of social behaviors to occur.

  17  

 

 

(c) Debt Write-Off.

 

The Company had a debt write-off of $3,100,291 in 2014 based on the age of certain debt of the Company and the fact that based on opinion of counsel this aged debt could no longer be collected.

Operating Activities.

 

The net cash used in operating activities was $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to no cash provided by or used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This change is attributed to the net loss that occurred in 2014.

 

The net cash provided by operating activities was $0 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had total current assets of $0 and total current liabilities of $249,738, resulting in a working capital deficit of $249,738.  The cash and cash equivalents was $0 as of June 30, 2015. 

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had total current assets of $0 and total current liabilities of $170,591, resulting in a working capital deficit of $170,591.  The cash and cash equivalents was $0 as of December 31, 2014. 

 

The net cash provided by financing activities from a loan (March 2015) was $25,000 for six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

On March 17, 2015, the Company entered into a promissory note with Peter Lambert for a loan of $25,000 that became due on June 15, 2015. The loan carries an interest at the rate of $55 per day. On June 12, 2015, the parties amended this promissory note so that the loan was extended and will accrue interest at $55 per day until this note is paid in full. As of June 30, 2015, there was $5,833 interest accrued on the loan.

 

The Company’s current cash and cash equivalents balance will not be sufficient to fund its operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern on a longer-term basis will be dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its obligations on a timely basis, and to obtain additional financing, and ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s continued operations, as well as the implementation of the Company’s business plan will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings and equity or debt financing.

 

  18  

 

 

Whereas the Company has been successful in the past in raising capital, no assurance can be given that these sources of financing will continue to be available to it and/or that demand for the Company’s common stock will be sufficient to meet its capital needs, or that financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or may be required to reduce the scope of the Company’s planned product development and marketing efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on its business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, which could require it to:

 

· curtail operations significantly;

 

· sell significant assets;

 

· seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require the Company to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or

 

· explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of the Company.

 

To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on the Company’s operations. Regardless of whether the Company’s cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet its operational needs, the Company may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders.

 

Inflation.

 

The impact of inflation on the Company’s costs and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on its operations over the past quarter and the Company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

 

The Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

 

  19  

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies.

 

The SEC has issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR 60”), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company’s most critical accounting policies include: (a) use of estimates; and (b) net income (loss) per share. The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its financial statements.

 

(a) Use of Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that is believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

(b) Net Income (Loss) Per Share.

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

Forward Looking Statements.

 

This Form 10 registration statement contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These are statements that relate to future periods and include, but are not limited to, statements as to the Company’s estimates as to the adequacy of its capital resources, its need and ability to obtain additional financing, and its critical accounting policies.

 

  20  

 

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

ITEM 3. PROPERTIES.

 

The Company owns general office equipment valued at approximately $5,700. The Company acquired substantial assets as a result of the Acquisition Agreement, as set forth in Schedule 4.10 to this Agreement.

 

The Company currently maintains an office at 1950 Fifth Avenue, Suite 100, San Diego, California 92101. The Company does not pay any monthly rent at this time for use of an office at this address, which is provided by an attorney for the Company.

John J. Fleming, President/ Chief Executive Officer/Secretary/Treasurer/Director.

 

Mr. Fleming, age 66, was the managing partner of AFI Capital, LLC, a venture capital company, located in San Diego, California for the 5 years before joining the Company in September 2002.

From March 2010 to August 2014, Mr. Fleming has acted as a business consultant.

 

Audit Committee.

 

The Company’s board of directors functions as audit committee for the Company.

 

The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee will be to oversee the financial reporting process on behalf of the Company’s board of directors and report the result of their activities to the board. Such responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the selection, and if necessary the replacement, of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, review and discuss with such independent registered public accounting firm: (i) the overall scope and plans for the audit, (ii) the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls, including the Company’s system to monitor and manage business risks, and legal and ethical programs, and (iii) the results of the annual audit, including the financial statements to be included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

 

The Company’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget.

The Company presently does not have a compensation committee, nominating committee, an executive committee of the board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committees.

 

Recommendation of Nominees.

 

The Company does not have a standing nominating committee or committee performing similar functions. Because of the small size of the Company, the board of directors believes that it is appropriate for the Company not to have such a committee. All the directors participate in the consideration of director nominees.

 

The board of directors does not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. Because of the small size of the Company, and the limited number of stockholders, the board of directors believes that it is appropriate for the Company not to have such a policy.

 

When evaluating director nominees, The Company considered the following factors:

 

· The appropriate size of the board.

 

· The Company’s needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of company directors.

 

· Knowledge, skills and experience of prospective nominees, including experience in finance, administration.

 

· Experience with accounting rules and practices.

 

· The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new board members.

 

The Company’s goal is to assemble a board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience.  

 

ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

 

(a)         The current officer and director has not received any form of compensation during the last completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The prior officer/director of the Company, Glenn McMachen, did not receive any form of compensation during the last two completed fiscal years.

ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

 

During the past three years, there have been the following sales of securities of the Company:

 

On September 15, 2015, the Company issued a total of 43,355,680 restricted shares of common stock in connection with the completion of the acquisition of the equity interests of Stimulating Software, LLC, the acquisition of all the common stock of Inner Four, Inc., and all of the common and preferred stock of Play Celebrity Games, Inc. On that date the Company also issued 4,725 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock in connection with that acquisition. All these shares were issued

 

With respect to these sales of unregistered securities, the Company relied on the exemptive provisions of Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At all times relevant the securities were offered subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

· the sales were made exclusively to sophisticated or accredited investors, as defined in Rule 502;

 

· the purchasers were given the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which the Company possessed or could acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished;

 

· at a reasonable time prior to the sale of securities, the purchaser were advised of the limitations on resale in the manner contained in Rule 502(d)2;

 

· neither the company nor any person acting on its behalf sold the securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising; and

 

  28  

 

 

· all sales under this offering were made through John Fleming, President and director of the Company.

 

No commissions were paid in connection with any of these sales. All share certificates bear a legend restricting their disposition.

 

Other than these sales, there have been no other sales of securities of the Company during the past three years.

 

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.

 

Common Stock.

 

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001. The holders of the common stock:

 

(a) have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company;

 

(b) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution upon winding up of the affairs of the Company; and

 

(c) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote at all meetings of stockholders.

 

These securities do not have any of the following rights:

 

(a) cumulative or special voting rights;

 

(b) preemptive rights to purchase in new issues of shares;

 

(c) preference as to dividends or interest;

 

(d) preference upon liquidation; or

 

(e) any other special rights or preferences. In addition, the Shares are not convertible into any other security.

 

There are no restrictions on dividends under any loan or other financing arrangements or otherwise.

 

  29  

 

 

The Company’s authorized but unissued common stock currently consists of 4,955,632,291 shares. One effect of the existence of authorized but unissued capital stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of the Company’s management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the Company’s best interests, such shares could be issued by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent, or render more difficult or costly, completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquiror or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent Board of Directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

 

Series B Common Stock.

 

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of Series B common stock authorized; none is issued and outstanding

 

Preferred Stock.

 

The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. Under an Amended Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 10, 2015, the Company designated Ten Thousand (10,000) shares of undesignated and unissued Preferred Stock as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, par value One Tenth of One Cent ($0.001).

 

Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company common stock as determined by dividing 1,000 by the amount that is a 10% discount to the average of the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the exchange on which this common stock is traded over the 10 trading day period ending immediately prior to the conversion date. Each share of convertible preferred stock has the right to vote on all matters on which holders of common stock of the Company may vote, and for each share of convertible preferred stock held the holder shall be treated as holding 20 shares of Company common stock.

 

Each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may not convert any outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if at the time of such conversion the amount of Common Stock to be issued for the conversion, when added to other shares of common stock owned by the holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or which can be acquired by the holder upon exercise or conversion of any other instrument, would cause that holder to own more than 4.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

The Company shall pay a yearly dividend, in cash or Common Stock (with the determination to pay in cash or common stock, or a combination of the two, to be made by the Company at its discretion), equal to 4% of the Valuation Price (as defined) of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, payable quarterly within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, and such dividend shall be paid prior to the payment of any dividends on the Company’s common stock. In the event the Company elects to pay a portion or all of the dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by issuing shares of common stock, these shares issued as dividends shall be restricted, unregistered shares, and will be subject to the same transfer restrictions that apply to the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

  30  

 

 

Non-Cumulative Voting.

 

The holders of shares of common stock of the Company will not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding Shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose. In such event, the holders of the remaining Shares will not be able to elect any of the Company’s directors.

 

Dividends.

 

The Company does not currently intend to pay cash dividends. Because the Company does not intend to make cash distributions, potential stockholders would need to sell their shares to realize a return on their investment. There can be no assurances of the projected values of the shares, or can there be any guarantees of the success of the Company.

 

A distribution of revenues will be made only when, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, it is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders to do so. The board of directors will review, among other things, the financial status of the Company and any future cash needs of the Company in making its decision.

 

Transfer Agent.

 

The Company has engaged the services of Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 Murray Holladay Road, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117,to act as transfer agent and registrar for the Company.

 

ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

The following is a summary of the relevant provisions in the articles of incorporation, bylaws, and Nevada law with regard to limitation of liability and indemnification of officers, directors and employees of the Company.

 

Limitation of Liability.

 

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

 

There are no provisions in the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws with regard to liability of a director

 

Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

“NRS 78.138 Directors and officers: Exercise of powers; performance of duties; presumptions and considerations; liability to corporation and stockholders.

 

  31  

 

 

(7)         Except as otherwise provided in NRS 35.230, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that:

 

(a)          His act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and

 

(b)         His breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.”

 

Indemnification.

 

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

 

There are no provisions in the articles of incorporation with regard to indemnification. The bylaws of the Company provide the following with regard to indemnification:

 

“No director shall be liable to the corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except with respect to (1) a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) liability which may be specifically defined by law or (4) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, it being the intention of the foregoing provision to eliminate the liability of the corporation’s directors to the corporation or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by law. The corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law each person that such law grants the corporation the power to indemnify.”

 

Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

“NRS 78.7502 Discretionary and mandatory indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents: General provisions.

     

1.  A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he :

 

(a) Is not liable pursuant to d irectors and officers duty to exercise their powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation]; or

 

  32  

 

 

(b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

2.  A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he :

 

(a) Is not liable pursuant to; or

 

(b) Acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

 

Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

3.  To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.”

 

“NRS 78.751 Authorization required for discretionary indemnification; advancement of expenses; limitation on indemnification and advancement of expenses.

 

1.         Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 2, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:

 

  33  

 

 

(a)        By the stockholders;

 

(b)        By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;

 

(c)        If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

 

(d)        If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

 

2.         The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

 

3.        The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section:

 

(a)        Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in the person’s official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the articles of incorporation or any bylaw is not eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

  34  

 

 

(b)        Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.”

 

“NRS 78.752 Insurance and other financial arrangements against liability of directors, officers, employees and agents.

 

(1)        A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

 

(2)        The other financial arrangements made by the corporation pursuant to subsection 1 may include the following:

 

(a)        The creation of a trust fund.

 

(b)       The establishment of a program of self-insurance.

 

(c)       The securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation.

 

(d)       The establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety.

 

No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

 

(3)       Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this section may be provided by the corporation or any other person approved by the board of directors, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities is owned by the corporation.

 

(4)       In the absence of fraud:

 

(a)       The decision of the board of directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this section and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and

 

(b)       The insurance or other financial arrangement:

 

  35  

 

 

(i)       Is not void or voidable; and

 

(ii)      Does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action, even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

 

(5)        A corporation or its subsidiary which provides self-insurance for itself or for another affiliated corporation pursuant to this section is not subject to the provisions of Title 57 of NRS.”

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of TBC Global News Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for interim financial statements. Therefore, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All common stock share numbers reflect a 1,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock effective on September 6, 2007, a 10,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock effective on April 9, 2009, and a 3,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock effective on April 27, 2015.

 

The interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2015, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.

 

In November 2008, the Company halted its previous operations of providing online movie rentals (also referred to as a “DVD”) and video game rentals to subscribers through its Internet website, gameznflix.com.

 

On May 7, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. This amendment changed the name of the Company to TBC Global News Network, Inc. This corporate action had previously been approved by consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As of July 30, 2009, the new trading symbol for the Company is “TGLN.”

 

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company ceased its prior operations of producing video news, business profiles, and television advertisements.

 

On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Sterling Yacht Sales, Inc., and it stockholders, Glenn W. McMachen, Sr., and Arlene McMachen. However, since the buyers breached this agreement the transaction was rescinded, and therefore no consolidation is required.

 

  42  

 

 

From August 2010 until August 2014, the Company did not operate. Upon assuming the positions as a director and officer of the Company in August 2014, Mr. Fleming commenced operations of the Company as a consultant and also seeking opportunities for the Company.

 

On August 15, 2014, Mr. McMachen, the Company’s sole board member, and chief executive officer, president, and secretary/treasurer of the Company, appointed John Fleming as a new member of the Company’s board of directors. Mr. McMachen then resigned from all positions with the Company. Mr. Fleming was then appointed as the Company’s executive officer, president, and secretary/treasurer. Mr. Fleming will serve in these positions until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and have qualified.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that currently do not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015.

 

Income Taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

 

  43  

 

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards totaling $74,448,788. The carry-forwards begin to expire in fiscal year 2034. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carry-forwards due to the uncertainty regarding realization. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of any of the Company's net operation loss and credit carry forwards may be limited if cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% occur during any three year period.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds fair value of the asset group.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share.

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock, including any potential common shares outstanding during the period, when the potential shares are dilutive. Potential common shares consist primarily of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive, as they were during 2015 and 2014. During June 30, 2015 and 2014, the number of potential common shares excluded from diluted weighted-average number of outstanding shares was 0 and 0, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.

 

Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment.”

 

  44  

 

 

Recent Pronouncements.

 

On November 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-17—Business Combinations (Topic 805): “Pushdown Accounting (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

On November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): “Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU do not change the current criteria in GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. That is, an entity will continue to evaluate whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract, among other relevant criteria. The amendments clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. The effects of initially adopting the amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern.” This ASU requires management of public and private companies to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. This ASU requires management to evaluate, for each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.  

 

  45  

 

 

In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to:

 

· present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity,

 

· label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity,

 

· disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and

 

· disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.

 

The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 is permitted which removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company. The Company adopted it as of December 31, 2014.  

 

NOTE 3 – SHORT TERM NOTE

 

On March 17, 2015, the Company entered into a promissory note with Peter Lambert for a loan of $25,000 that became due on June 15, 2015. The loan carries an interest at the rate of $55 per day. On June 12, 2015, the parties amended this promissory note so that the loan was extended and will accrue interest at $55 per day until this note is paid in full. As of June 30, 2015, there was $5,833 interest accrued on the loan.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Starting January, 1 2015 Mr. Fleming is accruing a consulting fee of $1,500 a month until the Company puts a formal contract in place. As of June 30, 2015, the Company paid Mr. Fleming $3,666 of this consulting fee and there is a balance of $5,333 in accounts payable. There is no written agreement for this consulting fee.

 

On March 31, 2015, Mr. Fleming transferred $5,743 of various office equipment and supplies to the Company.  The Company is carrying the balance due to Mr. Fleming under short-term liabilities and will reimburse Mr. Fleming during the current fiscal year. Mr. Fleming has a balance of $6,950 owed to him under “due to officers” for the transfer of assets and various out of pocket expenses.

 

NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

  46  

 

 

The Company’s activities to date have been supported by equity financing. It has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an inception to date loss of $ 74,448,788 as of June 30, 2015. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan. In the alternative, the Company may be amenable to a sale, merger or other acquisition in the event such transaction is deemed by management to be in the best interests of the shareholders.

 

NOTE 6 – COMMON STOCK

 

On April 27, 2015, the Company completed a 3,000 to 1 reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, taking the balance from 3,013,552,063 to 1,004,517. As of June 30, 2015, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock was 1,012,029 (includes shares issued for purposes of rounding).

 

NOTE 7 – LEGAL SERVICES

 

The Company has entered into an attorney-client contract with Brian F. Faulkner, A Professional Law Corporation, for corporate and securities law work for the company. This contract, dated April 3, 2015 (amended and restated on July 13, 2015), is for $100,000, $25,000 of which was accrued as of June 30, 2015.

 

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On September 3, 2015, the Company completed an Acquisition Agreement under which the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, the acquisition of all the common stock of Inner Four, Inc., a Florida corporation, and all of the common and preferred stock of Play Celebrity Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

TBC Global News Network, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TBC Global News Network, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses, has had recurring negative cash flows from operations, and has an accumulated deficit that raises substantial doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3, which includes the raising of additional equity financing or merger with another entity. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TBC GLOBAL NEWS NETWORK, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Audited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

The accompanying audited financial statements of TBC Global News Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for audited financial statements. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All common stock share numbers reflect a 1,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock effective on September 6, 2007, a 10,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock effective on April 9, 2009, and a 3,000 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock effective on April 27, 2015.

 

In November 2008, the Company halted its previous operations of providing online movie rentals (also referred to as a “DVD”) and video game rentals to subscribers through its Internet website, gameznflix.com.

 

On May 7, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. This amendment changed the name of the Company to TBC Global News Network, Inc. This corporate action had previously been approved by consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As of July 30, 2009, the new trading symbol for the Company is “TGLN.”

 

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company ceased its prior operations of producing video news, business profiles, and television advertisements.

 

On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Sterling Yacht Sales, Inc., and it stockholders, Glenn W. McMachen, Sr., and Arlene McMachen. However, since the buyers breached this agreement the transaction was rescinded, and therefore no consolidation is required.

 

From August 2010 until August 2014, the Company did not operate. Upon assuming the positions as a director and officer of the Company in August 2014, Mr. Fleming commenced operations of the Company as a consultant and also seeking opportunities for the Company.

 

On August 15, 2014, Mr. McMachen, the Company’s sole board member, and chief executive officer, president, and secretary/treasurer of the Company, appointed John Fleming as a new member of the Company’s board of directors. Mr. McMachen then resigned from all positions with the Company. Mr. Fleming was then appointed as the Company’s executive officer, president, and secretary/treasurer. Mr. Fleming will serve in these positions until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and have qualified.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that currently do not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014.

 

Income Taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

 

At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $74,375,351 and 77,472,013 respectively. The carry-forwards begin to expire in fiscal year 2034. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carry-forwards due to the uncertainty regarding realization. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of any of the Company's net operation loss and credit carry forwards may be limited if cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% occur during any three year period.

 

  54  

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds fair value of the asset group.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share.

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock, including any potential common shares outstanding during the period, when the potential shares are dilutive. Potential common shares consist primarily of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive, as they were during 2014 and 2013. During December 31, 2014 and 2013, the number of potential common shares excluded from diluted weighted-average number of outstanding shares was 0 and 0, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.

 

Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment.”

 

Recent Pronouncements.

 

On November 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-17—Business Combinations (Topic 805): “Pushdown Accounting (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

  55  

 

  

On November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): “Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU do not change the current criteria in GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. That is, an entity will continue to evaluate whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract, among other relevant criteria. The amendments clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. The effects of initially adopting the amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern.” This ASU requires management of public and private companies to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. This ASU requires management to evaluate, for each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.  

 

In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to:

 

· present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity,

 

· label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity,

 

· disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and

 

  56  

 

 

· disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.

 

The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 is permitted which removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company. The Company adopted it as of December 31, 2014.  

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods, with an inception to date loss of $74,374,926 and $77,471,588 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has also suffered recurring losses and has had recurring negative cash flows from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

The Company’s activities to date have been supported by equity financing. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan. In the alternative, the Company may be amenable to a sale, merger or other acquisition in the event such transaction is deemed by management to be in the best interests of the shareholders.

 

NOTE 4 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Starting January, 1 2015 Mr. Fleming is accruing a consulting fee of $1,500 a month until the Company puts a formal contact in place. As of June 30, 2015, the Company paid Mr. Fleming $3,666 of this consulting fee and there is a balance of $5,333 in accounts payable. There is no written agreement for this consulting fee.

 

On March 17, 2015, the Company entered into a promissory note with Peter Lambert for a loan of $25,000 that became due on June 15, 2015. The loan carries an interest at the rate of $55 per day. On June 12, 2015, the parties amended this promissory note so that the loan was extended and will accrue interest at $55 per day until this note is paid in full. As of June 30, 2015, there was $5,833 interest accrued on the loan.

 

On March 31, 2015, Mr. Fleming transferred $5,743 of various office equipment and supplies to the Company.  The Company is carrying the balance due to Mr. Fleming under short-term liabilities and will reimburse Mr. Fleming during the current fiscal year. Mr. Fleming has a balance of $6,950 owed to him under “due to officers” for the transfer of assets and various out of pocket expenses.

 

  57  

 

 

On April 27, 2015, the Company completed a 3,000 to 1 reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, taking the balance from 3,013,552,063 to 1,004,517. As of June 30, 2015, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock was 1,012,029 (includes shares issued for purposes of rounding).

 

On September 3, 2015, the Company completed an Acquisition Agreement under which the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, the acquisition of all the common stock of Inner Four, Inc., a Florida corporation, and all of the common and preferred stock of Play Celebrity Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Inner Four, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Inner Four, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization.

 

Inner Four, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated on June 14, 2007 under the laws of the State of Florida.  .  On September 3, 2015 100% of the Company was purchased by TBC Global News Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TBC Global”), along with Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Stimulating Software”), and Play Celebrity Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Play Celebrity”), all as wholly owned subsidiaries of TBC Global.

 

Basis of Presentation.

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).   

 

Nature of Business.

 

The Company has a library of Apps on I-tunes and Google store that generates revenues through App purchases, In App purchases and per click advertising.

 

Use of Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that currently do not exceed federally insured limits.  For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  The Company had cash balances of $8,957 and $41,528 at the end of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

  64  

 

 

Revenue Recognition.

 

The Company generates revenue from three sources: sale of game applications, sale of advertising provided with games, internet marketing sales with games on per click basis ($0.01 or $0.02 per click) by users. The Company recognizes revenue using four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured, which is typically after receipt of payment and delivery. The Company has service agreements with Apple and Google, and the Company receives revenue on net basis, which is 70% and 60% of the revenue from sale of game applications and sale of advertising provided with games.

  

Income Taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

  

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group.  If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds fair value of the asset group.

 

Net Income Per Share.

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period.

 

Recent Pronouncements.

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40).” The amendments of this ASU will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance as to whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. The disclosure requirements will be effective for annual periods (and interim periods within those annual periods) ending after December 15, 2015. The amendment may be adopted either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

  65  

 

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835-30)”, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. The disclosure requirements will be effective for annual periods (and interim periods within those annual periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and will require retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The original effective date for ASU 2014-09 would have required the Company to adopt beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, we may adopt the standard in either the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 or 2019. We are currently evaluating the timing and method of adoption and the impact of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization.

 

Inner Four, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated on June 14, 2007 under the laws of the State of Florida.  .  On September 3, 2015 100% of the Company was purchased by TBC Global News Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TBC Global”), along with Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Stimulating Software”), and Play Celebrity Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Play Celebrity”), all as wholly owned subsidiaries of TBC Global.

 

Basis of Presentation.

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).   

 

Nature of Business.

 

The Company has a library of Apps on I-tunes and Google store that generates revenues through App purchases, In App purchases and per click advertising.

  

Use of Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that currently do not exceed federally insured limits.  For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  The Company had cash balances of $16,617 and $8,957 at the end of the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively.

 

  70  

 

 

Revenue Recognition.

 

The Company generates revenue from three sources: sale of game applications, sale of advertising provided with games, internet marketing sales with games on per click basis ($0.01 or $0.02 per click) by users. The Company recognizes revenue using four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured, which is typically after receipt of payment and delivery. The Company has service agreements with Apple and Google, and the Company receives revenue on net basis, which is 70% and 60% of the revenue from sale of game applications and sale of advertising provided with games.

 

Income Taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group.  If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds fair value of the asset group.

 

Recent Pronouncements.

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40).” The amendments of this ASU will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance as to whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. The disclosure requirements will be effective for annual periods (and interim periods within those annual periods) ending after December 15, 2015. The amendment may be adopted either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

  71  

 

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835-30)”, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. The disclosure requirements will be effective for annual periods (and interim periods within those annual periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and will require retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The original effective date for ASU 2014-09 would have required the Company to adopt beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, we may adopt the standard in either the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 or 2019. We are currently evaluating the timing and method of adoption and the impact of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

 

NOTE 2 – Related Party Transactions

 

As president of Inner Four, John Swartz has taken a draw of $0 and $47,258 during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively. The balance of his draw from the Company was $314,509 and $314,509 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

NOTE 3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Management and
Members of Stimulating Software, LLC

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Stimulating Software, LLC (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in members’ equity, and statement of cash flows for the period of November 5, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014 . The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period of November 5, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has had limited revenue and income since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1, which includes the raising of additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Going Concern

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

PLAY CELEBRITY GAMES, INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM JUNE 5, 2015 (INCEPTION) TO JUNE 30, 2015

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization.

 

Play Celebrity Games, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated on June 5, 2015, under the laws of the State of Delaware.   On September 3, 2015 100% of the Company was purchased by TBC Global News Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TBC Global”), along with Inner Four, Inc., A Florida corporation (“Inner Four”), and Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Stimulating Software”), all as wholly owned subsidiaries of TBC Global.

 

Basis of Presentation.

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).   

 

Nature of Business.

 

The Company is currently negotiating with various developers to develop new Apps under a revenue share model.

 

Use of Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that currently do not exceed federally insured limits.  For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no cash balance as of June 30, 2015. 

 

  87  

 

 

Income Taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

 

Net Loss Per Share.

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period.

 

Going Concern.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

The Company has not had any expenses or revenue for the period of June 5, 2015 (inception) to June 30, 2015. Management’s plans include the raising of additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others.

 

Recent Pronouncements.

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40).” The amendments of this ASU will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance as to whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. The disclosure requirements will be effective for annual periods (and interim periods within those annual periods) ending after December 15, 2015. The amendment may be adopted either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835-30)”, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. The disclosure requirements will be effective for annual periods (and interim periods within those annual periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and will require retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

  88  

 

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The original effective date for ASU 2014-09 would have required the Company to adopt beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, we may adopt the standard in either the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 or 2019. We are currently evaluating the timing and method of adoption and the impact of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On September 3, 2015, the Company completed an Acquisition Agreement under which the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company formed on November 5, 2014 (“Stimulating Software”), the acquisition of all the common stock of Inner Four, Inc., a Florida corporation formed on June 19, 2007 (“Inner Four”), and all of the common and preferred stock of Play Celebrity Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 5, 2015 (“Play Celebrity”). This acquisition was accomplished through a payment by the Company of common stock and preferred stock.

 

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet has been developed by applying pro forma adjustments to the separate unaudited balance sheet of the Company at June 30, 2015 included in Company’s interim financial statements included in this Form 10, and the separate unaudited balance sheets of Inner Four, Stimulating Software and Play Celebrity at June 30, 2015.

 

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations has been developed by applying pro forma adjustments to the separate audited statements of operations of the Company included in Company’s audited financial statements included in this Form 10, the separate unaudited interim statement of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included in this Form 10, the separate unaudited statements of operations of Inner Four and Stimulating Software for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the separate unaudited statements of operations of Inner Four and Stimulating Software for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company.

 

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 presents the combined results of the Company’s balance sheet and those of Inner Four, Stimulating Software and Play Celebrity as if the acquisition had occurred prior to that date.

 

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 present the combined results of the Company’s operations and the results of operations of Inner Four and Stimulating Software as if the acquisition had occurred at December 31, 2014.

 

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been had the acquisition actually occurred on the date indicated and it does not purport to project the Company’s results of operations for any future period. There were no material transactions between the Company, on the one hand, and Inner Four, Stimulating Software and Play Celebrity, on the other hand, during the periods presented in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations that would need to be eliminated.

  91  

 

 

 

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Financial Statements. All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Financial Statements.

 

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a significant impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations, and the combined Company’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition or the costs to combine or associated with the combination of the operations of the Company, and Inner Four and Stimulating Software or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements.

 

In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information set forth herein due to certain factors beyond the Company’s control.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

 

On September 3, 2015, the Company completed an Acquisition Agreement under which the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Stimulating Software, LLC, a Florida limited liability company formed on November 5, 2014 (“Stimulating Software”), the acquisition of all the common stock of Inner Four, Inc., a Florida corporation formed on June 19, 2007 (“Inner Four”), and all of the common and preferred stock of Play Celebrity Games, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 5, 2015 (“Play Celebrity”). This acquisition was accomplished through a payment by the Company of common stock and preferred stock.

 

NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a significant impact on the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and the statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 assumes that the acquisition of Inner Four and Stimulating Software took place on December 31, 2014. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 combines the Company’s unaudited interim balance sheet at June 30, 2015 with the Inner Four, Stimulating Software and Play Celebrity unaudited balance sheets at June 30, 2015.

 

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 combines the Company’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 with the Inner Four and Stimulating Software unaudited statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 combines the Company’s unaudited interim statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 with the Inner Four and Stimulating Software unaudited statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations have been prepared for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the Company or the combined Company for the periods presented or that will be achieved by the Company or the combined Company in the future.

 

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and certain note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

NOTE 3—UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company made following adjustments to its interim balance sheet statement as of June 30, 2015:

 

1. Eliminated draws of $309,283 to additional paid in capital.

 

2. Re-classed outstanding common stock, Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock to additional paid in capital of $(111).

 

3. Eliminated retained earnings of $(336,711) to additional paid in capital.

  46  

 

 

4.1  Adjustments . The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Option shall be subject to adjustments as follows:

 

(a)         In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on Common Stock in Common Stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise entitling a holder thereof to receive Common Stock, (ii) declare a dividend payable in cash on its Common Stock and at substantially the same time offer its shareholders a right to purchase new Common Stock (or securities convertible into, exchangeable for or other entitling a holder thereof to receive Common Stock) from the proceeds of such dividend (all Common Stock so issued shall be deemed to have been issued as a stock dividend), (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iv) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (v) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Common Stock of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holders of the Options shall be entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above that number and kind of shares as the holders would have received had such Options been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subdivision shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a stock dividend and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of a stock split, subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

(b)         In case the Company shall distribute, without receiving consideration therefor, to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends), then in such case, the number of Share thereafter issuable upon exercise of the Options shall be determined by multiplying the number of Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Options, by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the closing bid price per share of Common Stock of the Company on the record date for such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be the closing bid price of the Common Stock of the Company less the then fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed per share of Common Stock of the Company. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

(c)         No adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Option will be made for the issuance of shares of capital stock to directors, employees or contractors pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans.

 

(d)         Whenever the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Options is adjusted, as herein provided the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of each share of the Options immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares issuable immediately thereafter.

 

  47  

 

 

4.2         Mergers, Etc . In the case of any (i) consolidation or merger of the Company into any entity (other than a consolidation or merger that does not result in any reclassification, exercise, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), (ii) sale, transfer, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or (iii) reclassification, capital reorganization or change of the Common Stock (other than solely a change in par value, or from par value to no par value), in each case as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each holder of Options then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to exercise such Option only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Options would have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, capital reorganization or reclassification, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (A) is not an entity with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (“constituent entity”), or an affiliate of a constituent entity, and (B) failed to exercise his or her rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than a constituent entity or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights or election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purpose of this Section 4.2 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). If necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provision set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holder of Options, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Options. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers, capital reorganizations and reclassifications. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor company or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer assumes, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the holder of Options such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to receive under this Section 4.2.

 

5.            Fractional Shares .

 

Any fractional Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options shall be rounded to the nearest whole share or, at the election of the Company, the Company shall pay the holder thereof an amount in cash equal to the closing bid price thereof. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon exercise shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Options the holder is at the time exercising and the number of Shares.

 

  48  

 

 

6.          No Rights as Stockholders: Notices to Grantee .

 

Nothing contained in this Option shall be construed as conferring upon the Grantee or Grantee’s transferees any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote, receive dividends, consent or receive notices as a stockholder with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter. If, however, at any time prior to the Expiration Date prior to the exercise of this Option, any of the following events shall occur:

 

(a)         any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 4; or

 

(b)         a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any consolidation, merger or sale of its property, assets and business as an entirety; then in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give notice in writing of such event to the Grantee at least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to any relevant dividend, distribution, subscription rights, or other rights or for the effective date of any dissolution, liquidation of winding up or any merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all assets, but failure to mail or receive such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any such action taken. Such notice shall specify such record date or the effective date, as the case may be.

 

7.           Entire Agreement; Governing Law . This Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in its entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Grantee. This Option Agreement is governed by the internal substantive of California.

 

8.           Severability . Each part of this Option is intended to be severable. In the event that any provision of this Option is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed or modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable and as so severed or modified, this Option shall continue in full force and effect.

 

9.           Further Assurances . In addition to the instruments and documents to be made, executed and delivered pursuant to this Option, the parties hereto agree to make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to the requesting party such other instruments and to take such other actions as the requesting party may reasonably require to carry out the terms of this Option and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

10.          Notices . Notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be sufficiently given when personally delivered (by hand, by overnight mail, by telephone line facsimile transmission, receipt confirmed, or other means) or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, properly addressed and with proper postage pre-paid (i) if to the Company, at its executive office (ii) if to the Grantee, at the address first set forth above or to such other address as the Company or the Grantee furnishes by notice given in accordance with this section, and shall be effective, one (1) business day after being sent by facsimile or by overnight mail and, when so sent by certified mail, four (4) business days after deposit with the United States Postal Service.

AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

OF

TBC GLOBAL NEWS NETWORK, INC.

 

The undersigned, John Fleming, President/Secretary, certifies that:

 

He is the President and Secretary of TBC Global News Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”).

 

By written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company on August 12, 2015, the following resolutions were adopted by the sole Director of the Company:

 

WHEREAS, Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value of One Tenth of One Cent ($0.001) per share (“Preferred Stock”);

 

WHEREAS, the shares of Preferred Stock were authorized to be issued from time to time in one or more series as expressly authorized by the Board of Directors to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed on any wholly unissued class of shares or any wholly issued series of any class of shares, and the number of shares constituting any unissued series of Preferred Stock as well as the designations of the series, or any or all of them; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation on May 6, 2008 and now wishes to amend that Certificate.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issue of undesignated Preferred Stock of the Company and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of, and other matters relating to, that series, as follows:

 

Ten Thousand (10,000) shares of undesignated and unissued Preferred Stock shall be designated and known as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, par value One Tenth of One Cent ($0.001), with the powers, preferences, rights, restrictions, and other matters as follows.

 

(1)               CONVERSION . The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

 

(a)           Any securities to be delivered to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section shall be valued at One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per share (“Valuation Price”)

 

  59  

 

 

(b)           Right to Convert by the Company . Subject to subsection (d), each share of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of holder, at any time into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company common stock (“Common Stock”) as determined by dividing One Thousand (1,000) by the amount that is a ten percent (10%) discount to the average of the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the exchange in which the Common Stock is traded over the ten (10) trading day period ending immediately prior to the conversion date (“Conversion Rate”).

 

(c)           Mechanics of Conversion .

 

(i)         Before any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled voluntarily to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he/she/it shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that he/she/it elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares to be converted and the name or names in which he/she/it wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled, and if the holder has not converted all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, a certificate representing the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock not converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date or surrender of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

 

(ii)        If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

 

  60  

 

 

(d)          Adjustments to Conversion Rate In the case of any share exchange, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or reclassification whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities or property, the Company will , if and to the extent necessary, make appropriate provisions so that the holder of each share of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding will have the right thereafter to convert such share of Class A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, share exchange, capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class A Preferred Stock might have been convened immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, share exchange, capital reorganization or reclassification. If the shares of Common Stock are combined, consolidated or reverse split into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased, and the kind and amount of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock both before and after combination, consolidation or reverse split of the Common Shares shall be the same.

 

(e)          No Impairment . The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock against impairment.

 

(f)           Certificates as to Adjustments .

(g)          Notices of Record Date . In the event that the Company shall propose at any time: (i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus; (ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or (iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:

(i)         At least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above; and

 

(ii)        In the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).

 

(h)           Reservation of Stock lssuable Upon Conversion . The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate.

 

(i)           Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

 

(j)            Notices . Any notice required to be given to the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Company.

(2)           VOTING RIGHTS . The holder of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock hall have the right to vote on all matters on which holders of Common Stock of the Company may vote, and for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held the holder shall be treated as holding twenty (20) shares of Common Stock of the Company.

In addition, holders of a majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to compel a vote on any share issuance, merger or acquisition by the Company, but unless set forth in another agreement to which the Company is a party, the vote of the Preferred Stock, voting as a class, will not be necessary to approve any of the same.

 

(3)           STATUS OF CONVERTED STOCK . In the event any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Company, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares that the Company is authorized to issue.

 

(4)           SENIORITY OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK . No additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be authorized or issued that have rights, privileges and preferences equal to or senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as long as any Series Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding.

 

(5)           RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS . So long as any shares of Series Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the vote or written consent by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or this Amended Certificate of Designation, if such amendment would adversely affect any of the rights, preferences or privileges provided for herein for the benefit of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may not convert any outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if at the time of such conversion the amount of Common Stock to be issued for the conversion, when added to other shares of Common Stock owned by the holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or which can be acquired by the holder upon exercise or conversion of any other instrument, would cause that holder to own more than four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.

 

(6)           DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK . The Company shall pay a yearly dividend, in cash or Common Stock (with the determination to pay in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of the two, to be made by the Company at its discretion), equal to four percent (4%) of the Valuation Price of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, payable quarterly within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, and such dividend shall be paid prior to the payment of any dividends on the Company’s Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to pay a portion or all of the dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by issuing shares of Common Stock, these shares issued as dividends shall be restricted, unregistered shares, and will be subject to the same transfer restrictions that apply to the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

  63  

 

 

(7)           TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS . The same transfer restrictions imposed on the Class A Preferred Stock shall be applicable to the Common Stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is converted, although for purposes of Rule 144 as presently in effect, the holding period requirement may be met by adding together the period in which the Class A Preferred Stock is held and the period in which the Common Stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is converted, is held.

 

(8)           LIQUIDATION RIGHTS . In case of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, holders of shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a per share liquidation preference equal to the Valuation Price, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of Common Stock or any other series or class of the Company's stock hereafter issued which ranks junior as to liquidation rights to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. A consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company unless the Company is the surviving corporation and its shareholders immediately prior to the consolidation or merger are the holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting equity of the surviving corporation immediately after the consolidation or merger. A sale or transfer of all or part of the Company’s assets for cash, securities or other property will not be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

 

To the extent any payment or distribution is insufficient to pay the entire liquidation preference on all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the payment shall be apportioned pro rata among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Secretary of the Company is hereby authorized and directed to prepare, execute, verify and file, in the office of the Nevada Secretary of State, a Certificate of Designation in accordance with this resolution as required by law.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the appropriate officers of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed by, for, on behalf of the Company to do or cause to be done all acts and things to make all payments, and to execute and deliver all such agreements, documents, assignment, instruments of transfer and certificates, as may be necessary, or in the opinion of the officers acting on behalf of the Company, appropriate to effectuate the intent of, or the transactions contemplated by the foregoing resolution, and effect performance by the Company of its obligations the execution thereof by such officers to be conclusive evidence that the same were authorized hereby.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any other actions taken by such officers prior to the date of the foregoing resolution adopted hereby that are within the authority conferred thereby are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved as the acts and deeds of the Company.

(e)          As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Subscriber of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading ("Registration Default”), and uses its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or other appropriate filing with the SEC to correct such untrue statement or omission, and any other necessary steps to cure the Registration Default, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Subscriber as such Subscriber may reasonably request.

(g)          Use its commercially reasonable efforts, if eligible, either to (i) cause all the Subscribed Shares covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange and on each additional national securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Subscribed Shares is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation of all the Subscribed Shares covered by the Registration Statement as a National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System (“NASDAQ”) within the meaning of Rule 11Aa2-1 of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the quotation of the Subscribed Shares on the NASDAQ or if, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the preceding clause (i) or (ii), the Company is unsuccessful in doing so, to secure authorization and quotation for such Subscribed Shares on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board;

4.          Obligations of the Subscribers. In connection with the registration of the Subscribed Shares, the Subscribers shall have the following obligations;

 

(a)          It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Subscribed Shares of a particular Subscriber that such Subscriber shall timely furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Subscribed Shares held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Subscribed Shares and shall timely execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(b)          Each Subscriber by such Subscriber’s acceptance of the Subscribed Shares agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Subscriber has notified the Company in writing of such Subscriber’s election to exclude all of such Subscriber’s Subscribed Shares from the Registration Statement; and

 

(c)          Each Subscriber agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), above, such Subscriber will immediately discontinue disposition of Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Subscribed Shares until such Subscriber’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by the Company, such Subscriber shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such Subscriber’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Subscribed Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

  78  

 

 

5.           Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filing or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but including, without limitations, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and review by Subscribers' counsel, shall be borne by the Company.

 

6.           Indemnification. After Subscribed Shares are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)          To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Subscriber who holds such Subscribed Shares, the directors, if any, of such Subscriber, the officers, if any, of such Subscriber, each person, if any, who controls any Subscriber within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any prospectus included therein: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being collectively referred to as “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Subscribers, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not (i) apply to any Claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Subscribed Shares that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; (iii) be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Subscriber to deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company; or (iv) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Subscriber will indemnify the Company, its officers, directors and agents (including Counsel) against any claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company, by or on behalf of such Subscriber, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, subject to such limitations and conditions as are applicable to the Indemnification provided by the Company to this Section 6. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares by the Subscribers pursuant to Section 9.

 

  79  

 

 

(b)          Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be; provided , however , that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In such event, the Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Subscribers; such legal counsel shall be selected by the Subscribers holding a majority in interest of the Subscribed Shares included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

 

  80  

 

 

7.          Contribution.  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided , however , that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6; (b) no seller of Subscribed Shares guilty or fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Subscribed Shares who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any seller of Subscribed Shares shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Subscribed Shares.

 

8.          Reports under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Subscribers the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Subscribers to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

 

(a)          make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b)          file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

 

(c)          furnish to each Subscriber so long as such Subscriber owns Subscribed Shares, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Subscribers to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

9.          Interest. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Subscriber at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid hereunder exceeds the maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted under the governing and any amounts collected in excess of the permissible amount shall be deemed a payment of principal. To the extent that such excess amount exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Subscribed Shares, such excess shall be returned with reasonable promptness by the Subscriber to the Company.

 

10.         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Registered Owners. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Subscribed Shares whenever such person or entity owns of record such Subscribed Shares. If the Company received conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Subscribed Shares, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Subscribed Shares.

SECTION 8. MEETINGS. - The newly elected Board of Directors may hold their first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum be present, immediately after the annual meeting of the stockholders; or the time and place of such meeting may be fixed by consent, in writing, of all the directors.

 

Unless restricted by the incorporation document or elsewhere in these By-Laws, members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated by such Board may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time.

All Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of undesignated Preferred Stock shall be designated and known as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, par value One Tenth of One Cent ($0.001), with the powers, preferences, rights, restrictions, and other matters as follows.

 

(1)          CONVERSION .         The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (“Conversion Rights”):

The conversion formula for a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock share shall be Five Hundred (500) shares of restricted shares of Company common stock for each shares of Preferred Stock.

 

(b)           Mechanics of Conversion .

 

(i)          Before any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled voluntarily to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that he elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares to be converted and the name or names in which he wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practiicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date or surrender of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

 

(ii)          If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

 

  1  

 

  

(c)           Adjustments to Conversion Rate for Stock Dividends and for Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock .     In the event that the Company at any time or from time to time after the first date of any issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”) shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made. a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire common Stock.

 

(d)           Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization .      If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 1(b) above or a merger or other reorganization referred to in Section 1(b) above), the Conversion Rate then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before that change.

 

(e)           No Impairment .     The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock against impairment.

  1

("JAMS"), Endispute, or the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as the parties agree, in San Diego County, California. At any time after submission of the matter to mediation, any party may submit such dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with this paragraph.

 

  2  

 

 

10.2   All disputes arising under this agreement which are not resolved by mediation will be resolved by submission to binding arbitration at the offices of JAMS or AAA, as the parties agree (the "Arbitrator"), in San Diego County, California. The parties shall agree on an arbitrator from the Arbitrator's panel. The arbitrator must be either an attorney or retired judge. If the parties are unable to agree, the Arbitrator will provide a list of three available persons and each party may strike one. The remaining person will serve as the arbitrator. The aggrieved party shall initiate arbitration by sending written notice of its intention to arbitrate by registered or certified mail to all parties and to the Arbitrator. The notice must contain a description of the dispute, the amount involved, and the remedies sought.

The arbitrator shall schedule a prehearing conference to reach agreement on procedural matters, arrange for the exchange of information, obtain stipulations and attempt to narrow the issues. The parties will submit a proposed discovery schedule to the arbitrator at the prehearing conference. The scope and duration of discovery will be within the sole discretion of the arbitrator, provided, however, the parties shall be entitled to discovery in accordance with the rules of the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego. The parties must file briefs with the arbitrator at least three days before the hearing, specifying the facts each intends to prove and analyzing the applicable law.

Any relevant evidence, including hearsay, shall be admitted by the arbitrator if it is the sort of evidence on which responsible persons are accustomed to rely on in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the admissibility of such evidence in a court of law. Within reasonable limitations, both sides at the hearing may call and examine witnesses for relevant testimony, introduce relevant exhibits or other documents, cross-examine or impeach witnesses who shall have testified orally on any matter relevant to the issues, and otherwise rebut evidence, as long as these rights are exercised in an efficient and expeditious manner. Any party desiring a stenographic record may secure a court reporter to attend the proceedings. The requesting party must notify the other parties of the arrangements in advance of the hearing and must pay for the cost incurred. Any party may request the oral evidence to be given under oath.

 

The decision of the arbitrator shall be based on the evidence introduced at the hearing, including all logical and reasonable inferences there from. The arbitrator may grant any remedy or relief which is just and equitable. The award must be in writing and signed by the arbitrator. It shall contain a concise statement of the reasons in support of the decision. The award must be mailed promptly to the parties, but no later than thirty days from the closing of the hearing. The award may be judicially enforced (confirmed, corrected or vacated pursuant to Section 1285, et seq ., of the California Code of Civil Procedure). The award shall be final and binding, and there shall be no direct appeal from the award on the grounds of error in the application of the law. Unless otherwise agreed, each party must pay its own witness fee and its pro rata share of the arbitrator's fees.
