As used in this current report, the terms
the “Company”, “Tierra Grand Resources”, “TGRI”, “we”, “us” and “our”
refer to Tierra Grande Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation. “VNUE” refers to VNUE, Inc., a Washington corporation,
which has become our wholly owned subsidiary upon the closing of the transactions discussed below.
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Agreement and Plan of Merger
As reported in the Form 8-K dated April 14, 2015, Tierra Grande
Resources Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), on
April 13, 2015 with VNUE, Inc., a company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington (“VNUE”), and
TGRI Merger Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”).
On April 30, 2015, the Company filed an 8-K announcing the extension
of the deadline to close on the Merger Agreement until May 30, 2015.
On May 29, 2015, Vnue, Inc. (formerly Tierra
Grande Resources Inc.) (the “TGRI”) closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), initially
entered into on April 13, 2015 with Vnue Washington and all of the stockholders of Vnue Washington.
Upon closing of the Merger Agreement a
total of 507,629,872 shares of TGRI common stock were issued as follows: (i) all shares of Vnue Washington stock of any class or
series issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement were automatically converted into and exchanged
for an aggregate of 477,815,488 fully paid and non-assessable shares of TGRI common stock; and (ii) an aggregate of 29,814,384
shares of TGRI common stock were issued to Matheau J. W. Stout, Esq. as payment for services performed prior to and in connection
with the Merger. The number of TGRI common shares issued to Vnue Washington's stockholders for the acquisition of all shares of
Vnue Washington represented approximately 79.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the closing of the
Merger Agreement. The board of directors and the members of the management of TGRI resigned and the board of directors and the
member of the management of Vnue Washington became the board of directors and the member of the management of the combined entities
upon closing of the Merger Agreement.
As a result of the controlling financial
interest of the former stockholders of Vnue Washington, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger between TGRI and
Vnue Washington was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Vnue Washington deemed the accounting acquirer and TGRI deemed the accounting
acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Section 805-10-55 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction in substance whereas the assets and liabilities of Vnue Washington (the
accounting acquirer) are carried forward to TGRI (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the
combination and the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) of Vnue
Washington is being retroactively restated using the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement
to reflect the number of shares of TGRI issued to effectuate the acquisition. The number
of common shares issued and outstanding and the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements
is determined by adding the number of common shares deemed issued and the issued equity interests of Vnue Washington
immediately prior to the business combination to the unredeemed shares and the fair value of TGRI determined in accordance
with the guidance in ASC Section 805-40-55 applicable to business combinations, i.e. the equity structure (the number and type
of equity interests issued) in the consolidated financial statements immediately post the combination reflects the equity structure
of TGRI, including the equity interests the legal parent issued to effect the combination.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Pursuant to FASB ASC Paragraph 805-10-25-23
acquisition-related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include finder’s fees;
advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative costs, including the
costs of maintaining an internal acquisitions department; and costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. The
acquirer shall account for acquisition related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services
are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities shall be recognized in accordance with other applicable
GAAP.
A copy of the Merger Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.1
to the Company’s 8-K filed on April 14, 2015. The description of the Merger Agreement herein is qualified by the terms of
the full text of the agreement attached thereto and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
Clarification of Form 8-K dated August 26, 2015 and filed
on August 27, 2015
In our
Form 8-K, dated August 26, 2015 and filed on August 27, 2015 we stated that Louis Mann received shares from VNUE when VNUE was
still private as consideration for the planned acquisition of Broadcasting Institute of Maryland, Inc. ("BIM").
To further clarify, the shares Louis Mann received were founder's shares in VNUE, which he received along with the other founders
of the company.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our Corporate History and Background
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April
4, 2006. Prior to the Merger, we were engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties since our inception. We
have not generated any revenues and have incurred losses since inception.
Effective April 10, 2013, the Company changed its name from
Buckingham Exploration Inc. to Tierra Grande Resources Inc. On August 9, 2010, the Company incorporated 0887717 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned
subsidiary in British Columbia, Canada. On February 28, 2013, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Tierra Grande Resources,
S.A.C. (“Tierra”), a company incorporated in Peru, in consideration for $10.
Prior to the Merger, our strategy had been to identify, acquire
and advance assets that present near term cash-flow with the emphasis on creating early cash flow to enable the Company to consider
other projects.
In July 2013, we entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire
the Buldibuyo Gold Project in Peru, South America. We subsequently entered into an updated Letter of Intent to acquire the project
in May 2014. It was our intention to acquire 100% of the gold project, which had produced high grade ore in the past, and had engaged
in some due diligence to qualify expectations and timelines. However, despite the execution of the Letter of Intent and numerous
attempts to accommodate the vendors, the vendors failed to deliver essential information to us required to conduct a thorough technical
and legal due diligence on the project and associated holding companies and, accordingly, we terminated negotiations to acquire
the project in July 2014.
The Company continued to review what we believed to be opportunities
with potential in Peru through our strategic alliance with ExploAndes S.A.C. (“ExploAndes”). ExploAndes is a leading
firm of geology consultants and project logistics managers located in Peru assisting in the identification, assessment and advancement
of projects in South America. ExploAndes has a proven track record of delivering professional services to the South American mining
industry from mineral project review and assessment to project management.
The Company also continued to review what we believed to be
opportunities with potential in Australia through our strategic alliance with Mining Plus Pty Ltd (“Mining Plus”),
a leading firm of mining and geoscience consultants with offices in Australia, Canada and Peru, that assist in the identification,
assessment and advancement of projects.
Given the Company’s current financial condition and its
recent focus in Peru and Australia, our interests in the Dome, Byng and Tramp claims in Canada were not renewed. See our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2014 for more information regarding our prior business.
Our current plan of operations now that the Merger has been
completed is to pursue the business of VNUE going forward.
Overview of our Current Business
As a result of the closing of the share exchange agreement with
VNUE, VNUE has become our wholly owned subsidiary and we now carry on business as a live entertainment music service company which
brings bands and fans together by capturing professional quality audio and video recordings of live performances and delivers the
experience of a venue to your home and hand.
By streamlining the processes of curation, clearing, capturing,
distribution & monetization, VNUE manages and simplifies the complexities of the music ecosystem. VNUE captures content through
its Front of House mobile application and provides world-wide distribution and monetization through a suite of mobile, web administration
applications, allowing an artist to seamlessly deliver and sell their live performances directly to the fans who attend their shows.
While VNUE is primarily being used in live music venues, we are also branching into many other entertainment experiences such as
comedy, plays, musicals, university lectures, professional demonstrations and panel discussions, as well as action sports and much
more.
The live music and entertainment space is constantly searching
for new monetization outlets; VNUE has a solution that melds content and technology in almost any venue in the world. This befits
not only artist, labels, publishers and live venues but the fan.
VNUE Admission and the Placing into the public market are expected
to provide the Company with working capital to fund its continued operations in building out the VNUE Audience network and Connected
Venue Platform by adding venues, bands, artists, content owners and publishers and to fund continued R&D investment. Admission
will also provide the Group with access to capital to support its strategic objectives, if suitable opportunities or ‘‘bolt-on’’
acquisitions arise. The Directors believe that Admission and the Placing will enhance the Company’s credibility and profile
within its market place and will assist the growth in its Business. Acquisitions will be pursued where the Directors consider that
there is clear value through the addition of expertise, customers, monetization potential or geographic footprint.
The History of VNUE
VNUE was founded in August of 2013 by Matthew Carona and Louis
Mann with the vision of creating a collective network of connected venues that empower and assist bands, artist, and entertainers
to monetize their performance (audio & video) in the venue using mobile technologies. VNUE has developed its business and technology
in tandem to enter into deals with venues, artists and labels across the United States using this initial launch strategy. The
collective venue network effect, whereby each deal makes the offer more compelling to other potential customers, has been a key
driver of VNUE’s growth to date. The initial focus of the business in early 2014 as a YouTube certified company, to create
a Multi-Channel Network (MCN) specifically focused on live streaming and monetization of content through the google display network.
VNUE’s first customer being the HipHopGods, a collective organization that manages hip-hop, rap, and emerging artist. Their
initiative was to monetize all content across the digital and social landscape and create live streams through all HHG YouTube
channels. Through VNUE’s current platform, network and services, HHG is working on unlocking new revenue streams. Through
the VNUE’s artist dashboard, HHG, artist, publishers with an interest in simplifying the processes of curation, clearing,
capturing, distribution & monetization in venue and across the digital landscape.
On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset purchase
agreement with Lively, LLC (the “Agreement”), whereby the Company acquired certain assets of Lively, LLC for a consideration
of (i) payment of $150,000 and (ii) Preferred shares with a fair market value of $250,000 at the time of the issuance. Assets purchased
included: a) software, inventions, customers, customer lists, development, documents and records, designs, claims, intellectual
property rights, distribution rights and merchandising rights; b) all copyright, patents, trademarks, trade names, logos or service
marks and other intangible property and rights.
Since the assets acquisition, VNUE has grown its platform, expanded
into enabled venues and enhanced its platform offering to approve the monetization model and further evangelize the creation of
the collective network of connected venues that empower artist to create content and monetize it.
Markets and Opportunity
There are over 400,000+ Indie bands performing in the US domestic
market alone, and while a handful of them will get produced under a label even less will be big enough to attempt to utilize today’s
current methods to capture and deliver live performance audio from a given show. Currently artist, bands and performers are missing
a simple capture and immediately sell tool kit to deliver high quality audio and video to their fans for each of their live shows.
VNUE’s goal first and foremost is to empower artists -
not only in serving their fans, but generating a monetary footprint which can foster the continued creation of their art which
moves millions all over the world.
VNUE strategically aligns an economically viable in-house
digital solution across during a golden era of live music. By creating a platform and connected network that is extremely complex
and resource-intensive. Through a suite of applications and dashboard centered at the heart of the software platform, a connected
network of partners, labels, publishers, right management, artist, bands and venues and a range of advanced 3rd party distributors,
VNUE allows distribution of content to all types of digital and social focused sites as well as within its own sandbox, with a
range of revenue models and centralized reporting that the artists, labels and publishers get to keep. By using the VNUE platform,
artists to create, market and distribute their shows while creating new revenue streams. Fans are able to connect with their favorite
performers in a new way, discover new performances and listen to and watch their live performances on their mobile devices, computer,
gaming consoles, OTT services and connected TVs.
Serving multiple customers on one platform enables VNUE to cost-effectively
invest significant amounts in innovation (R&D) to drive continuous product iterations that succeed the prior use case. Customers,
while honing in on the vision and passing the revenue back to the artist, while maintaining high production values and serving
the industry at a lower cost than could be achieved by out of the box solutions.
Monetization and Business Model
In today’s social media world, fans want to be able to
immediately share with their friends the fact they were at the show and how great this unique individual show was that they just
attended. Fans do not want to wait for a post-tour, live show CD to be produced from some other show on the tour months or years
after the fact, they want it now. VNUE is the solution.
Artist, Industry executives, Labels, Music publishers and Venues
will access VNUE’s solution as a service, through which they are able to benefit from a range of different revenue models
to optimize the value of their live and on-demand content across a majority of digital ecosystems. The Company’s primary
revenue model is to take a share of the revenue from sales of concerts, performances both audio and video or audio separately.
In addition the revenue stream can also include an advertising or sponsorship component that was integrated into tours. This revenue
share aligns business outcomes for all parties and means that costs are primarily baked into the software and delivery agent. Typical
revenue shares are expected to range from 15-60 percent and vary based on the level of service allocated to each Artist, Label,
Music publisher, venue and the scale of the business opportunity. Secondary revenue streams include fees for storage, usage, licensing
and software upgrades (design or social ad distribution). VNUE’s revenue share is reported as net revenue (i.e. gross transaction
revenues minus any revenue share due to third parties).
As a software-focused business, VNUE can take advantage of a
single technology platform to continuously acquire users at low marginal cost leveraging artist promotion, in venue marketing and
mobile notifications. Further automation and self-service tools are intended to allow VNUE to provide more advanced services to
the industry and artist without adding significantly to the cost base or headcount.
VNUE delivers a technology suite to accompany the publishers
that allows them to source, pull a wide swath of reports down to granular in venue streams and conversions. VNUE looks to commercialize
the in venue sales components that is currently missing and expand these efforts globally and embed live and on-demand content
from the VNUE Audience network efficiently and cost-effectively. These features, such as its real time audio sweating tools, are
designed to significantly reduce the manual effort required to display music content and, therefore, increase the efficiency of
content distribution and the revenue yield per performance sold.
Products and Services
The company’s cloud-based software platform, contains
four major pieces of Intellectual Property, based on a full stack Amazon Web Services deployment on which we support our mobile
app, our Cross Platform Desktop Player, our VNUE Front of House (FOH) (for capturing soundboard audio), and the Artist Admin Portal
for digital rights clearing and management of all artists, shows, and content. This technology is based on current languages and
technologies and has been designed to be easily deployed and maintained.
VNUE’s Audio Manager is called Front of House. Sound Engineers
at a music venue can use the Front of House application to capture performances for a band on any given night and immediately distribute
digitally to patrons. The VNUE Front of House (FOH) is a mobile audio capture/upload tool that allows the user to capture a stereo
feed from a live performance, split it into individual tracks, and upload m4a files of each track directly to the VNUE server for
distribution through the VNUE Platform (Web, Mac, Mobile applications). In addition, VNUE software associates the newly created
live recording with its master track ID, automating publishing while the fans are still in the venue. Additionally, the system
has an automated backend process anchored into a separate dashboard to handle the clearing and publishing aspects associated with
the audio/video distribution and sale.
The Artist and Industry Admin, an enterprise level content management
system with administration features allows VNUE to oversee all content and copyright clearances for Artists, Venues, Labels and
Publishers. Each Artist, Label and Publisher will receive a custom dashboard for their respective industry need.
VNUE’s Suite of consumer focused products. Fans can relive
a life-changing show from the night before, or catch up on their favorite band’s recent show on tour across the world. Shortly
after a show’s conclusion, it is available for purchase on VNUE’s web, mac and mobile applications. In addition, 24
hours post show the audio and or video will also be syndicated for sale across our distribution network for all fans to enjoy.
What Fans Can Expect: Moments after the show is done, the Front
of House compiles the file for sale at the venue. All of a sudden your phone buzzes with a notification from VNUE, telling you
the venue you’re still standing in, is now and exclusively offering the audio or video for a price determined before the
show.
VNUE partners with artists to record and quickly deliver live
shows to fans in studio-quality audio and video. Content is purchased and downloaded in the app moments after the show so fans
can stay connected to the band even when they aren't looking up.
VNUE Artist Admin
An artist signs up on www.vnue.com, uploads their tracks for
the next show and then uses the FOH application for Audience Point of Sale for their Audio or Video recorded show. That is the
definition of a VNUE Enabled Artist. Our simple audio options let artists easily connect with their fans without losing quality.
Using our Front of House software and a stereo audio interface (ex. Apogee Duet), artist can capture their live shows at any venue.
The shows are then cleared, managed, and distributed through the VNUE Audience Platform and Artist Admin.
The VNUE Admin
VNUE Admin is a collective network of connected Venues. Enabled
with VNUE Front of House Technology, Customized Audience Admin Account and a content publishing hub made up of HD cameras and location
based software to collect various points of consumer related data prior, during and post the performance. VNUE believes this is
the definitive technology and product for live events, venues and music festivals.
Enabled Venues
The sound engineer or designated management at the venue will
have access to a customized web administration system to align their bookings, artists, and revenue from in venue sales. We call
these Venues, Enabled. VNUE partners directly with venues to give them the tools they need to record live shows. We invest upfront
in audio and video capture equipment or sync with current video services at venues. An on-site promotional partnership with the
venue encourages app downloads at the show for new members and repeat customers. The result is a cost effective customer acquisition
model for Artists as well as VNUE.
The VNUE Proposition
VNUE provides an enterprise level solution to its partners through
a software enabled service. The VNUE approach is focused on High Quality Content production, digital acquiring rights prior to
the performance. VNUE seeks to distribute back to publishers and work with licensing to increase revenue and build a long tail
value proposition for every performance captured. VNUE provides customers with audience network and support for distribution of
content to all types of destination sites including content owner sites, platforms and the business network of music publishers,
streaming music services and OTT devices.
Management believes this drives the following benefits to customers:
* VNUE Super Admin – Proprietary Rights management software
that enables granular control of content distribution, including by geography, personality types and publishers.
* Long Term Investment – VNUE primarily takes a share
of customers’ revenue, with VNUE taking the majority of its fees when the revenue is delivered.
* iOS Focused– VNUE’s software enables customers
to take advantage of enhance for iOS features, that greatly increase the probability of purchase.
* Flexible Revenue Models – Labels, Venues, Artists
work with us to adapt their deal based on different revenue models including licensed, ad-funded, and direct to consumer or sponsorship.
* Keep the Data – Performance data is collated
from the FOH, Mobile Sandbox, Super Admin and Artist Admin into one dashboard. Financial data can be downloaded anytime for any
reason. Full transparency of VNUE data is extremely important.
* VNUE Audience reach – VNUE’s distribution to a
pre-connected network of publishers enables access to potentially larger audiences.
Competition
Streaming services exists, but these services are not packaging
up the audio for a fan that is currently at the show to purchase and consume immediately after the show. More importantly, they
are not performing this on a cost effective automated basis necessary to provide high quality audio recordings that is cost effective
enough to be utilized by bands to cover all their individual shows. Our main competition is a small group, which includes set.FM,
LoveLive, SoundHalo, and nugs.net . There are some services and processes that do post show production audio through a very manual
and delayed process that is not available to the fans for days if not weeks after the shows at best, and this process is so costly
that bands have to pick and choose certain shows to cover. Others have attempted to capture live audio at shows and burn the show
to a CD for distribution at the show, but again, this is a very costly and manual process that does not produce enough CDs fast
enough at a given show to meet the demand. This CD process does not scale effectively, and cannot effectively cover every show
in a tour or cost effectively cover thousands of bands at once as every show requires a significant amount of equipment and manpower
deployed at every show. Additionally the idea of delivery media on a CD is antiquated and the ability to delivery media on mobile
devices is key to capturing today’s market share. In addition to these antiquated capture and delivery methods there is a
complex back end process of clearing publishing and royalty rights that compounds this process and makes it difficult for the average
band to navigate in order to produce and deliver live show audio to their fans. VNUE’s acquisition of Lively provides the
technology for a comprehensive solution that addresses these concerns in one automated solution.
However, there can be no assurance that even if we do these
things we will be able to compete effectively with the other companies in our industry. As we are a relatively small company, we
face the same problems as other small companies in any industry, such as lack of available funds as lack of established distribution
channel or established customer base. Our competitors may be substantially larger and better funded than us, and have significantly
longer histories of operation and development than us. In addition, they may be able to provide more competitive products than
we can and generally be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in legislation and regulations
relating to the industry. Additionally, our competitors may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of
their products or services than we do. Increased competition could also result in loss of key personnel, reduced margins or loss
of market share, any of which could harm our business.
Key Business Strengths
Management believes that the key factors that will contribute
to VNUE’s success are:
The Connected Venue Network Pre-connected Network – VNUE
has a large and growing pre-connected network of partners – over 750 content owners and over 6,500 publishers. Content owners
can quickly access this network of publishers who may want their content and publishers can access a wide range of premium content
across the Business’ industry verticals.
VNUE Audience Innovation – VNUE has a team of approximately
10 people involved in R&D, tasked with continually upgrading and enhancing the software product to better serve customers’
evolving needs. Upgrades are easy to deploy due to the platform’s modular design – it has been constructed as a service
orientated cloud-based
architecture for maximum scalability.
Advanced Services – VNUE’s specialist teams offer
a range of advanced services including audience development, metadata and search engine optimization, premium advertising and sponsorship
sales, live streaming event support and premium support for enterprise customers. VNUE Studios leverages a creative network of
content producers, talent, publishers and brands to identify opportunities for the creation of the best live programming.
Business Model Aligned to the Customer Interests– VNUE’s
primary revenue model is to take a share of those revenues due to the customer for use of its software and services as well as
approved license to package performances within our products. Aligning VNUE success with the success of its customers greatly helps
the artist VNUE’s strategy is not focused on production in-house, or acquiring rights (therefore it does not actively seek
to compete with content owners), nor does it own B2C sites (therefore it does not actively seek to compete with publishers).
Track Record of Delivering for Key Reference Customers–
Due to the proposition described above, capabilities and customer benefits, VNUE has signed up a range of established customers.
The Directors believe that a track record of recruiting and delivering for established customers will support further business
development activities.
Employees

We also currently engage independent contractors in the areas of accounting, legal and auditing services, corporate finance, as
well as marketing and business development. The remuneration paid to our officers and directors will be more completely described

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities
Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Vnue, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance
sheet of Vnue, Inc. (“Vnue Washington” or the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and the related statements
of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.
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 audit 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 provides
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 year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the
Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2014, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting
period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Operations
Vnue, LLC
Vnue LLC ("Vnue LLC" or “Predecessor”)
is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 1, 2013 which began operations in January

Note 2 - Significant and Critical Accounting
Policies and Practices
The
Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of
accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to
the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective,
or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation
The
Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Critical
accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment
necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate
on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions
affecting the financial statements were:
| (i) | Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes
that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation
of liabilities in the normal course of business; |
| (ii) | Fair value of long-lived assets:
Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than
originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated
useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review:
(i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
(ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner
or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry
or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price
for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment
indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events. |
| (iii) | Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management
assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”)
carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was considered more likely
than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are recorded as a deferred tax benefit. Management
made this assumption based on its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private
offering, among other factors. |
| (iv) | Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of derivative
liabilities and equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility
of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk
free rate(s) to value derivative liabilities, share options and similar instruments. |
These significant accounting estimates
or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions,
and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole
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.
Management regularly evaluates the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances,
historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company applies the guidance of Topic
810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to determine whether and
how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in
which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the
parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary;
(3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee. Pursuant to ASC
Paragraph 810-10-15-8 the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and,
therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding
voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser
percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates
all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parent’s power to control exists.
The Company consolidates the following
subsidiaries and/or entities:
Name of consolidated subsidiary or
entity | |
State or other jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization | |
Date of incorporation or formation
(date of acquisition/disposition, if
applicable) | |
Attributable interest | |

The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the subsidiaries/entities as of reporting periods end date and for the reporting periods then ended from their
respective dates of incorporation/formation, acquisition and disposition.
All inter-company balances and transactions
have been eliminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial
instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements
and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
Financial assets are considered Level 3
when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least
one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest
priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the
categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity
of this instrument.
The Company’s convertible notes payable
approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available
to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2014.
The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities
consist of the derivative financial instruments for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination
of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The Company valued the automatic conditional conversion,
re-pricing/down-round, change of control; default and follow-on offering provisions using a Monte Carlo model, with the assistance
of a valuation specialist, for which management understands the methodologies. These models incorporate transaction details such
as Company stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility,
and holder behavior as of the date of issuance and each balance sheet date.
Transactions involving related parties
cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings
may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions
were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and
Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Level 3 Financial Liabilities
– Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative liability at the end of every reporting
period and recognizes gains or losses in the Statements of Operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of
the derivative liability.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Section 360-10-35
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-17 an impairment loss
shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.
The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying
amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount
by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-20
if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable
long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration
of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-21
the Company’s long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following to be some examples of such events or changes
in circumstances that may trigger an impairment review: (a) significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset
group); (b) A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in
its physical condition; (c) A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value
of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (d) An accumulation of costs significantly
in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); (e) A current-period
operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates
continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and (f) A current expectation that, more likely
than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously
estimated useful life. The Company tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently
upon the occurrence of such events.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 360-10-45-4
and 360-10-45-5 an impairment loss recognized for a long-lived asset (asset group) to be held and used shall be included in income
from continuing operations before income taxes in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from
operations is presented, it shall include the amount of that loss. A gain or loss recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset
(disposal group) that is not a component of an entity shall be included in income from continuing operations before income taxes
in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from operations is presented, it shall include the amounts
of those gains or losses.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
The Company has adopted Subtopic 350-30
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for intangible assets other than goodwill. Under the requirements, the Company amortizes
the acquisition costs of intangible assets other than goodwill on a straight-line basis over or their estimated useful lives, the
terms of the exclusive licenses and/or agreements, or the terms of legal lives of the respective assets as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Estimated Useful
Life (Years) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intangible assets |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15 |
|
Upon becoming fully amortized, the related
cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts.
Discount on Debt
The Company allocates the proceeds received
from convertible debt instruments between the liability component and equity component, and records the conversion feature as a
liability in accordance with subtopic 470-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Subtopic 470-20”). The
conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision,
a penalty provision and redemption option, have been recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible
note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting
period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the Statement of Operations. The Company has also recorded the resulting discount
on debt related to the conversion feature and is amortizing the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life
of the debt instruments.
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its convertible debt,
options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify
as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market
each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability,
the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise
or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation
and then that the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion
option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the
convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single,
compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting
period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to
liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified
in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected
within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded
feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step
approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including
evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company marks to market the fair value
of the remaining embedded derivative conversion features at each balance sheet date and records the change in the fair value of
the remaining embedded derivative conversion features as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo model
that values the liability of the derivative conversion features based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model with
the assistance of a third party valuation firm. Black-Scholes model does not consider all of the terms of the instrument which
may not be appropriate in many situations given complex features and terms of conversion option (e.g., combined embedded derivatives).
The Monte Carlo model is based on future projections of the various potential outcomes. The features that were analyzed and incorporated
into the model included the conversion features. The Monte Carlo model analyzed the underlying economic factors that influenced
which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e.
stock price, exercise price, volatility, etc.). Projections were then made on the underlying factors which led to potential scenarios.
Probabilities were assigned to each scenario based on management projections. This led to a cash flow projection and a probability
associated with that cash flow. A discounted weighted average cash flow over the various scenarios was completed to determine the
value of the conversion features.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related
parties include a. affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other
Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); b. entities for which investments
in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection
of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit
of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal
owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls
or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties
might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the
management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties
and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully
pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include
disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar
items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated
or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the
relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were
ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an
understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each
of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms
from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented
and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitment and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date
the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more
future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves
an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted
claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted
claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates
that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated
liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss
contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent
liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are
generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company follows paragraph 810-10-65-1
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report the non-controlling interest in its majority-owned subsidiaries and controlled
entities in the consolidated balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Company’s stockholders’
equity. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the equity of the
Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling
interest holders’ proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling
interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest
balance.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable
and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii)
the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties
Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments
issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under the guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7,
if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for
goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the
elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached.
A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether
the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity
under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1,
a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable
equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific
performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity
by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the
balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other
than employees in exchange for goods or services.
Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and
505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after
a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance
conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity
had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments.
A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise
expires unexercised.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 505-50-30-2
and 505-50-30-11 share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The issuer shall measure the fair value
of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the
following dates, referred to as the measurement date: (a) The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to
earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); or (b) The date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
If the Company’s common shares are traded in one of the national exchanges the grant-date share price of the Company’s
common stock will be used to measure the fair value of the common shares issued, however, if the Company’s common shares
are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”),
or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares
could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-55-21
if an observable market price is not available for a share option or similar instrument with the same or similar terms and conditions,
an entity shall estimate the fair value of that instrument using a valuation technique or model that meets the requirements in
paragraph 718-10-55-11 and takes into account, at a minimum, all of the following factors:
a. |
The exercise price of the option. |
b. |
The expected term of the option, taking into account both the contractual term of the option and the effects of employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. |
c. |
The current price of the underlying share. |
d. |
The expected volatility of the price of the underlying share for the expected term of the option. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-55-25 a newly publicly traded entity might base expectations about future volatility on the average volatilities of similar entities for an appropriate period following their going public. A nonpublic entity might base its expected volatility on the average volatilities of otherwise similar public entities. For purposes of identifying otherwise similar entities, an entity would likely consider characteristics such as industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage. Because of the effects of diversification that are present in an industry sector index, the volatility of an index should not be substituted for the average of volatilities of otherwise similar entities in a fair value measurement. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1 if shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected term of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. |
e. |
The expected dividends on the underlying share for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments. |
f. |
The risk-free interest rate(s) for the expected term of the option. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-55-28 a U.S. entity issuing an option on its own shares must use as the risk-free interest rates the implied yields currently available from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve over the contractual term of the option if the entity is using a lattice model incorporating the option’s contractual term. If the entity is using a closed-form model, the risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the assumption in the model. |
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-S99-1,
if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity
instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are
not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should
be recorded.
Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax
Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes under
Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based
upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of
whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section
740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the
tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a
greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance
on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased
disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary
differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit
carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance
sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation
of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the
Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion,
adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates,
additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax years that remain subject
to examination by major tax jurisdictions
The Company discloses tax years that remain
subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions pursuant to the ASC Paragraph 740-10-50-15.
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether
they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or
reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities
by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating
cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.
Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in Section
855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent
events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users,
such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting
Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”)
This guidance amends the existing FASB
Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle
of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve that core principle, an entity
should apply the following steps:
| 1. | Identify the contract(s) with the customer |
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| 3. | Determine the transaction price |
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligations |
The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures
that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue
recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about
the following:
| 1. | Contracts with customers – including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation
of revenue, and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the
remaining performance obligations) |
| 2. | Significant judgments and changes in judgments – determining the timing of satisfaction
of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance
obligations |
| 3. | Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. |
ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early
application is not permitted.
In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based
Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”
(“ASU 2014-12”).
The amendments clarify the proper method
of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the
requisite service period. The Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after
the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating
the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that
the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the
requisite service has already been rendered.
The amendments in this Update are effective
for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
In connection with preparing financial
statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial
statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions
and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that
the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable
that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements
are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
When management identifies conditions or
events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider
whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating
effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively
implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about
the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial
doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration
of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand
all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
a. Principal
conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration
of management’s plans)
b. Management’s
evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations
c. Management’s
plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial
doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration
of management’s plans, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt
about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements
are issued (or available to be issued). Additionally, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial
statements to understand all of the following:
a. Principal
conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
b. Management’s
evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations
c. Management’s
plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
The amendments in this Update are effective
for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application
is permitted.
In February 2015, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02 “ Consolidation (Topic 810) -Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”
(“ASU 2015-02”) to improve certain areas of consolidation guidance for reporting organizations (i.e., public,
private, and not-for-profit) that are required to evaluate whether to consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships,
limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (e.g., collateralized debt/loan obligations). All
legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments:
| · | Eliminating the presumption that a general
partner should consolidate a limited partnership. |
| · | Eliminating the indefinite deferral of
FASB Statement No. 167, thereby reducing the number of Variable Interest Entity (VIE) consolidation models from four to two (including
the limited partnership consolidation model). |
| · | Clarifying when fees paid to a decision
maker should be a factor to include in the consolidation of VIEs. Note: a VIE is a legal entity in which consolidation is not based
on a majority of voting rights. |
| · | Amending the guidance for assessing how
related party relationships affect VIE consolidation analysis. |
| · | Excluding certain money market funds from
the consolidation guidance. |
The amendments in this Update are effective
for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.
In April 2015, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the
Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”).
To
simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require 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 the amendments in this Update.
For public business entities, the amendments
in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods
within those fiscal years.
In August 2015, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective
Date” (“ASU 2015-14”).
The amendments in this Update defer the
effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain
employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,
including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial
statements.
Note 3 - Going Concern
The Company has elected to adopt early
application of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern
(Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
The financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets,
and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the financial statements,
the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2014, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the year
then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Currently, management is attempting to
increase revenues and improve gross margins by a revised sales strategy. The Company is redirecting its sales focus from direct
sales to domestic and international channel sales, where the Company is primarily selling through a channel of Distributors, Value
Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy
to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continually increase its customer base
and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts.
The financial statements do not include
any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 – Intangible Assets
Entry into an Asset Purchase Agreement
On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into
an Asset purchase agreement with Lively, LLC (the “Agreement”), whereby the Company acquired certain assets of Lively,
LLC for consideration of (i) payment of $150,000 and (ii) Preferred shares with a fair market value of $250,000 at the time of
the issuance. Assets purchased included: a) software, inventions, customers, customer lists, development, documents and records,
designs, claims, intellectual property rights, distribution rights and merchandising rights; b) all copyright, patents, trademarks,
trade names, logos or service marks and other intangible property and rights.
The Company issued 133,334 preferred shares
to Lively LLC to satisfy the consideration (ii) for the acquisition of the intangible assets which were valued at $1.53 per share,
the most recent PPM price per common share from the subsequent sale of common stock as the preferred shares are convertible to
common shares on a 1 to 1 basis and the business has not changed between July 2014, the date of acquisition of the assets and April
2015, the date of the equity financing. The Company recorded the intangible assets of $354,000 including (i) $150,000 in cash and
(ii) $204,000 in preferred shares.
Accounting Treatment of the Transaction
The Company acquired certain assets, a
lesser component of an entity. In evaluating whether an acquisition of a lesser component of an entity constitutes a business the
Company considered the following facts and circumstances: (1) Whether the nature of the revenue-producing activity of the component
will remain generally the same as before the transaction; or (2) Whether any of the following attributes remain with the component
after the transaction: (i) Physical facilities, (ii) Employee base, (iii) Market distribution system, (iv) Sales force, (v) Customer
base, (vi) Operating rights, (vii) Production techniques, or (viii) Trade names. The Company determined that this transaction is
a straight asset acquisition and not a business acquisition as there is no sufficient continuity of the acquired entity’s
operations after the transaction.
Impairment Testing and Amortization
Expense
The Company acquired the intangible assets
in July 2014 and is in the process of developing the technology for its commercial operations and the management of the Company
determined that there was no impairment of such assets at December 31, 2014.
(ii) Amortization Expense
Amortization expense was $5,900 for the
reporting period ended December 31, 2014.

Note 7 – Derivative Instruments
and the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In August of 2014, the Company
entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Holders”)
for an aggregate of $96,000 in Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Notes" or “Securities”). The Securities
included 6 convertible debt instruments with variable conversion prices with reset provisions. The Notes convert at a certain percentage
of future financing and/or pre-money valuations on a full dilution basis; therefore the Company has an indeterminate number of
shares required to settle the notes and this qualifies the convertible debt instruments as derivative instrument at the date of
issuance.
Under the Security Purchase Agreements, the holders
of the Convertible Promissory Notes have the following terms and conditions:
1. If not previously converted,
all outstanding principal and accrued interest under a given Note will be due and payable on demand by the Holder at any time after
the earlier of (i) 36 months following issuance of such Note (the "Maturity Date") or (ii) the consummation of a Corporate
Transaction (sale of substantially all of the Company's assets or stock; an IPO by the Company; merger of the Company; or a liquidation/dissolution).
2. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 0% to 10%
per annum compounded annually.
3. The Note
is convertible as follows: (a) If the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, shares of the same class of stock issued
to investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of a Corporate Transaction, shares of common
stock of the Company; or (c) if the Note is converted as part of a Maturity Conversion, units of Class A limited liability company
membership interest ("Class A Units").
4. The Note
Conversion Price is determined as follows: (a) if the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, an amount equal to 80%
of the price paid per share paid by the investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of a
Corporate Transaction, a price per share derived by dividing a "pre- money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the number of
shares outstanding immediately prior to the time of such conversion, on a fully diluted basis; or (c) if the Note is converted
as part of a Maturity Conversion, a price per unit derived by dividing a "pre-money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the total
number of units (restricted and non-restricted) outstanding immediately prior to the time of such conversion, on a fully diluted
basis.
5. If the
Next Equity Financing or a Corporate Transaction has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, and the Note has not been repaid
in full, the outstanding balance will, at the Holder's election, be (a) due and payable in full or (b) converted into Conversion
Security.
Valuation of Derivative Financial
Instruments
The Company has utilized a third
party valuation consultant to assist the Company to fair value the derivative financial instruments. The company uses Monte Carlo
models that value the derivative liability within the notes. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random)
price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash or stock)
of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion
with constant drift, and constant volatility. The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since
the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios
and outcomes.
The features in the Notes that
were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion feature with the adjustable conversion price and
redemption provisions (at the option of the Holder). Based on these features, there are two primary events that can occur:
the Holder converts the note or the Holder redeems the note.
The model simulates the underlying
economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that
would be in effect at the time (i.e. stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as
redemption likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the note based on management projections.
This led to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation was completed, and it
was compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative
liability for that simulation. For each valuation, 10,000 simulations were run and the results were averaged to determine the derivative
liability as of the date of each valuation.
The convertible notes were valued at issuance (potentially
convertible if a financing event occurred in the period) and also at the quarterly periods with the following assumptions:
- The stock price was based on the Private Placement
dated January 1, 2015 which raised $686,320 at $1.53 per VNUE Common S tock share price with 9,491,961 issued / outstanding
and using the TGRI capitalization of 477,664,519 issued / outstanding with a Common Stock share price of $0.0304.
- The stock projection s are based on the comparable
company annual volatilities for each date. These volatilities were in the 104–122% range:

| 109 | % | |
3/31/15 | |
| 122 | % |
- The stock
price projection was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and an constant volatility, starting
with the $0.03 market stock price at each valuation date;
- An event of default would not occur during the remaining
term of the note;
- Conversion of the notes to stock
would occur only at maturity if the Note was in the money and a reset event had occurred - either the Next Financing or
Corporate Transaction;
- Redemption would have no
derivative value since no penalty or interest rate adjustment exist in these Notes;
- Discount rates were based on
risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term and date of each valuation and instrument.
- The Note
is convertible as follows: (a) if the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, shares of the same class of stock
issued to investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of a Corporate Transaction,
shares of common stock; or (c) if the Note is converted as part of a Maturity Conversion.
- The Note
Conversion Price is based on the following: (a) if the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, an amount equal to 80%
of the price paid per share paid by the investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of
a Corporate Transaction, a price per share derived by dividing a "pre- money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the number
of shares outstanding prior to such conversion, on a fully diluted basis; or (c) if the Note is converted as part of a Maturity
Conversion, a price per unit derived by dividing a "pre-money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the total number of units/shares
(restricted and non-restricted) outstanding prior to such conversion, on a fully diluted basis.
- If the
Next Equity Financing or a Corporate Transaction has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, and the Note has not been repaid
in full, the outstanding balance will, at the Holder's election, be (a) due and payable in full or (b) converted into Conversion
Security.

Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity
(Deficit)
Shares Authorized
Upon formation the total number of shares
of all classes of stock which the Company is authorized to issue is Fifteen Million (15,000,000) shares of which Three Million
(3,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock, no par value, and Twelve Million (12,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, no par
value.
Preferred Stock
In July 2014, VNUE Washington issued 133,334
shares of preferred stock for the acquisition of certain assets from Lively, LLC. The preferred shares were valued at $1.53 per
share or $204,000. This was based on the price of the January 2015 private placement, as the preferred shares are convertible to
common shares on a 1 to 1 basis and there were no significant changes in the business between the date of assets acquisition and
the date of private placement.
Common Stock
Upon formation, 7,808,001 shares of VNUE
Washington common stock were issued in exchange for the membership units of VNUE, LLC.
Transfer
of Vnue LLC Membership as Common Stock
During
the year ended December 31, 2014, a stockholder of the Company contributed $100,000 for the acquisition of a 2% membership interest
of VNUE, LLC, which was converted to 190,000 shares of common stock upon formation of VNUE
Washington in August 2014. The contribution has been recorded as common stock.
Note 10 – Deferred Tax Assets
and Income Tax Provision
Deferred Tax Assets
At December 31, 2014, the Company had net
operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forward for Federal income tax purposes of $40,658, net of 50% meals and entertainment
exclusion, change in fair value of derivative liability and derivative expense that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2034. A tax benefit has not been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards as the Company believes
that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax asset of approximately $13,824 is not considered more likely than
not and accordingly, the deferred tax asset has been offset by a full valuation allowance.
Deferred tax assets consist primarily
of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because
of the uncertainty regarding its realizeability. The valuation allowance increased approximately $13,824 for the year
ended December 31, 2014.

Tax years that remain subject to
examination by major tax jurisdictions
The Company's corporation income tax return
is subject to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three (3) years from the date
it is filed. The Company has not filed its corporation income tax return for the period from October 16, 2014 (inception) through
December 31, 2014, which remains subject to examination upon filing.
Pro Forma Deferred Tax Assets and
Income Tax Provision (Unaudited)
The unaudited pro forma income tax provision,
deferred tax assets, and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, if any, included in the consolidated financial statements
and income tax provision note reflect the income tax provision which would have been recorded as if the LLC had always been a C
corporation upon its incorporation.
Deferred Tax Assets
At December 31, 2014, the Company would
have had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forward for Federal income tax purposes of $243,847, net of 50% meals
and entertainment exclusion, change in fair value of derivative liability and derivative expense, that may be offset against future
taxable income through 2034 and the Company’s net deferred tax assets and valuation allowance would have been approximately
$82,908; and its valuation allowance would have increased approximately $82,908 for the year then ended.
Components of the Company's deferred tax
assets would have been as follows:

Note 11 – Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all events that
occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when the financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported.
The Management of the Company determined that there were certain reportable subsequent event(s) to be disclosed as follows:
Sale of Common Shares for Cash
The
Company sold 448,575 common shares at $1.53 per share to seven investors for $686,320 in cash during the period from January 2015
to May 2015.
Closing of Agreement and Plan of
Merger
On May 29, 2015, Vnue, Inc. (formerly Tierra
Grande Resources Inc. (the “TGRI”) closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), initially
entered into on April 13, 2015 with VNUE Washington and all of the stockholders of VNUE Washington.
Upon closing of the Merger Agreement a
total of 507,629,872 shares of TGRI common stock were issued as follows: (i) all shares of Vnue Washington stock of any class or
series issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement were automatically converted into and exchanged
for an aggregate of 477,815,488 fully paid and non-assessable shares of TGRI common stock; and (ii) an aggregate of 29,814,384
shares of TGRI common stock were issued to Matheau J. W. Stout, Esq. as payment for services performed prior to and in connection
with the Merger. The number of TGRI common shares issued to Vnue Washington's stockholders for the acquisition of all shares of
Vnue Washington represented approximately 79.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the closing of the
Merger Agreement. The board of directors and the members of the management of TGRI resigned and the board of directors and the
member of the management of Vnue Washington became the board of directors and the member of the management of the combined entities
upon closing of the Merger Agreement.
As a result of the controlling financial
interest of the former stockholders of Vnue Washington, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger between TGRI and
Vnue Washington was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Vnue Washington deemed the accounting acquirer and TGRI deemed the accounting
acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Section 805-10-55 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction in substance whereas the assets and liabilities of Vnue Washington (the
accounting acquirer) are carried forward to TGRI (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the
combination and the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) of Vnue Washington is being retroactively
restated using the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement to reflect the number of shares of TGRI issued to effectuate
the acquisition. The number of common shares issued and outstanding and the amount recognized as issued equity interests
in the consolidated financial statements is determined by adding the number of common shares deemed issued and the issued equity
interests of Vnue Washington immediately prior to the business combination to the unredeemed shares and the fair value of
TGRI determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC Section 805-40-55 applicable to business combinations, i.e. the equity structure
(the number and type of equity interests issued) in the consolidated financial statements immediately post the combination reflects
the equity structure of TGRI, including the equity interests the legal parent issued to effect the combination.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Pursuant to FASB ASC Paragraph 805-10-25-23
acquisition-related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include finder’s fees;
advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative costs, including the
costs of maintaining an internal acquisitions department; and costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. The
acquirer shall account for acquisition related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services
are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities shall be recognized in accordance with other applicable
GAAP.

Vnue, Inc.
March 31, 2015 and 2014
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Operations
Vnue, LLC
Vnue LLC ("Vnue LLC" or “Predecessor”)
is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 1, 2013 which began operations in January
2014. On December 3, 2014, Vnue LLC filed a certificate of merger and merged into VNUE Washington with VNUE Washington as the surviving
corporation. VNUE LLC offers a technology driven solution for Artist, Venues and Festivals to automate the capturing, publishing
and monetization of the content.
Vnue, Inc.
VNUE, Inc. ("VNUE Washington",
or the "Company") was incorporated on October 16, 2014 under the laws of the State of Washington for the sole purpose
of acquiring all of the membership interests of the Predecessor.
On December 3, 2014, the Company issued
an aggregate of 7,998,001 shares of the newly formed corporation’s common stock to the members of the Predecessor for all
of their membership interests in the Predecessor. No value was given to the common stock issued by the newly formed corporation.
The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of VNUE Washington and the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor, which
are recorded at historical cost.
The Company applied paragraph 505-10-S99-3
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (formerly Topic 4B of the Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) (“SAB
Topic 4B”) issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), by reclassifying the Predecessor’s
accumulated deficit of $334,543 at December 3, 2014 to additional paid-in capital.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared as if the Company had its corporate capital structure as of the date of the incorporation of the Predecessor.
Vnue Technology Inc.
Vnue Technology Inc. ("Vnue Tech")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on October 16, 2014, with VNUE Washington owning 90% of the shares and
10% owned by one of VNUE Washington's directors. Vnue Tech is currently inactive.
Vnue Media Inc.
Vnue Media Inc. ("Vnue Media")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on October 16, 2014, with VNUE Washington owning 89% of the shares and
11% owned by one of VNUE Washington's directors. Vnue Media is currently inactive.
Note 2 - Significant and Critical Accounting
Policies and Practices
The
Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of
accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to
the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective,
or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation - Unaudited
Interim Financial Information
The unaudited interim financial statements
and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial
statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of Vnue Washington for the year ended December 31, 2014 and notes thereto contained in Vnue Inc.’s Current
Report amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K as filed with the SEC.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Critical
accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment
necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate
on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions
affecting the financial statements were:
| (i) | Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes
that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation
of liabilities in the normal course of business; |
| (ii) | Fair value of long-lived assets:
Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than
originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated
useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review:
(i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
(ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner
or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry
or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price
for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment
indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events. |
| (iii) | Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management
assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”)
carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was considered more likely
than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are recorded as a deferred tax benefit. Management
made this assumption based on its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private
offering, among other factors. |
| (iv) | Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of derivative
liabilities and equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility
of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk
free rate(s) to value derivative liabilities, share options and similar instruments. |
These significant accounting estimates
or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions,
and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole
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.
Management regularly evaluates the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances,
historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company applies the guidance of Topic
810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to determine whether and
how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in
which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the
parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary;
(3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee. Pursuant to ASC
Paragraph 810-10-15-8 the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and,
therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding
voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser
percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates
all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parent’s power to control exists.
The Company consolidates the following
subsidiaries and/or entities:
Name of consolidated
subsidiary or entity | |
State or other
jurisdiction of incorporation
or organization | |
Date
of incorporation or formation (date
of acquisition/disposition, if applicable) | |

the accounts of the subsidiaries/entities as of reporting periods end date and for the reporting periods then ended from their
respective dates of incorporation/formation, acquisition and disposition.
All inter-company balances and transactions
have been eliminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial
instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements
and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
Financial assets are considered Level 3
when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least
one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest
priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the
categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity
of this instrument.
The Company’s convertible notes payable
approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available
to the Company for similar financial arrangements at March 31, 215 and December 31, 2014.
The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities
consist of the derivative financial instruments for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination
of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The Company valued the automatic conditional conversion,
re-pricing/down-round, change of control; default and follow-on offering provisions using a Monte Carlo model, with the assistance
of a valuation specialist, for which management understands the methodologies. These models incorporate transaction details such
as Company stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility,
and holder behavior as of the date of issuance and each balance sheet date.
Transactions involving related parties
cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings
may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions
were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and
Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Level 3 Financial Liabilities
– Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative liability at the end of every reporting
period and recognizes gains or losses in the Statements of Operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of
the derivative liability.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Section 360-10-35
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-17 an impairment loss
shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.
The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying
amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount
by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-20
if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable
long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration
of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 360-10-35-21
the Company’s long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following to be some examples of such events or changes
in circumstances that may trigger an impairment review: (a) significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset
group); (b) A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in
its physical condition; (c) A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value
of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (d) An accumulation of costs significantly
in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); (e) A current-period
operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates
continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and (f) A current expectation that, more likely
than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously
estimated useful life. The Company tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently
upon the occurrence of such events.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 360-10-45-4
and 360-10-45-5 an impairment loss recognized for a long-lived asset (asset group) to be held and used shall be included in income
from continuing operations before income taxes in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from
operations is presented, it shall include the amount of that loss. A gain or loss recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset
(disposal group) that is not a component of an entity shall be included in income from continuing operations before income taxes
in the income statement of a business entity. If a subtotal such as income from operations is presented, it shall include the amounts
of those gains or losses.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
The Company has adopted Subtopic 350-30
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for intangible assets other than goodwill. Under the requirements, the Company amortizes
the acquisition costs of intangible assets other than goodwill on a straight-line basis over or their estimated useful lives, the
terms of the exclusive licenses and/or agreements, or the terms of legal lives of the respective assets as follows:
| |
Estimated Useful Life (Years) | |
| |
| |
Intangible assets | |
| 15 | |
Upon becoming fully amortized, the related
cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts.
Discount on Debt
The Company allocates the proceeds received
from convertible debt instruments between the liability component and equity component, and records the conversion feature as a
liability in accordance with subtopic 470-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Subtopic 470-20”). The
conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision,
a penalty provision and redemption option, have been recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible
note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting
period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the Statement of Operations. The Company has also recorded the resulting discount
on debt related to the conversion features and amortizes the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of
the debt instruments.
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its convertible debt,
options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify
as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market
each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability,
the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise
or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation
and then that the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion
option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the
convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single,
compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting
period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to
liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified
in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected
within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded
feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step
approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including
evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company marks to market the fair value
of the remaining embedded derivative conversion features at each balance sheet date and records the change in the fair value of
the remaining embedded derivative conversion features as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo model
that values the liability of the derivative conversion features based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model with
the assistance of a third party valuation firm. Black-Scholes model does not consider all of the terms of the instrument which
may not be appropriate in many situations given complex features and terms of conversion option (e.g., combined embedded derivatives).
The Monte Carlo model is based on future projections of the various potential outcomes. The features that were analyzed and incorporated
into the model included the conversion features. The Monte Carlo model analyzed the underlying economic factors that influenced
which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e.
stock price, exercise price, volatility, etc.). Projections were then made on the underlying factors which led to potential scenarios.
Probabilities were assigned to each scenario based on management projections. This led to a cash flow projection and a probability
associated with that cash flow. A discounted weighted average cash flow over the various scenarios was completed to determine the
value of the conversion features.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related
parties include a. affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other
Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); b. entities for which investments
in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection
of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit
of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal
owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls
or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties
might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the
management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties
and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully
pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include
disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar
items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated
or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the
relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were
ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an
understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each
of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms
from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented
and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitment and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date
the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more
future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves
an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted
claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted
claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates
that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated
liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss
contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent
liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are
generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company follows paragraph 810-10-65-1
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report the non-controlling interest in its majority-owned subsidiaries and controlled
entities in the consolidated balance sheets within the equity section, separately from the Company’s stockholders’
equity. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the equity of the
Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling
interest holders’ proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income (loss) and the non-controlling
interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest
balance.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable
and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii)
the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties
Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments
issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under the guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7,
if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for
goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the
elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached.
A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether
the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity
under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1,
a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable
equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific
performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity
by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the
balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other
than employees in exchange for goods or services.
Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and
505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after
a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance
conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity
had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments.
A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise
expires unexercised.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 505-50-30-2
and 505-50-30-11 share-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The issuer shall measure the fair value
of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the
following dates, referred to as the measurement date: (a) The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to
earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); or (b) The date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
If the Company’s common shares are traded in one of the national exchanges the grant-date share price of the Company’s
common stock will be used to measure the fair value of the common shares issued, however, if the Company’s common shares
are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”),
or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares
could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-55-21
if an observable market price is not available for a share option or similar instrument with the same or similar terms and conditions,
an entity shall estimate the fair value of that instrument using a valuation technique or model that meets the requirements in
paragraph 718-10-55-11 and takes into account, at a minimum, all of the following factors:
a. |
The exercise price of the option. |
b. |
The expected term of the option, taking into account both the contractual term of the option and the effects of employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. |
c. |
The current price of the underlying share. |
d. |
The expected volatility of the price of the underlying share for the expected term of the option. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-55-25 a newly publicly traded entity might base expectations about future volatility on the average volatilities of similar entities for an appropriate period following their going public. A nonpublic entity might base its expected volatility on the average volatilities of otherwise similar public entities. For purposes of identifying otherwise similar entities, an entity would likely consider characteristics such as industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage. Because of the effects of diversification that are present in an industry sector index, the volatility of an index should not be substituted for the average of volatilities of otherwise similar entities in a fair value measurement. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1 if shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected term of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. |
e. |
The expected dividends on the underlying share for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments. |
f. |
The risk-free interest rate(s) for the expected term of the option. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-55-28 a U.S. entity issuing an option on its own shares must use as the risk-free interest rates the implied yields currently available from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve over the contractual term of the option if the entity is using a lattice model incorporating the option’s contractual term. If the entity is using a closed-form model, the risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the assumption in the model. |
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-S99-1,
if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity
instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are
not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should
be recorded.
Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax
Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes under
Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based
upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of
whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section
740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the
tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a
greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance
on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased
disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary
differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit
carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance
sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation
of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the
Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion,
adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates,
additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax years that remain subject
to examination by major tax jurisdictions
The Company discloses tax years that remain
subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions pursuant to the ASC Paragraph 740-10-50-15.
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether
they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or
reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities
by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating
cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.
Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in Section
855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent
events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users,
such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting
Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”)
This guidance amends the existing FASB
Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle
of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve that core principle, an entity
should apply the following steps:
| 1. | Identify the contract(s) with the customer |
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| 3. | Determine the transaction price |
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligations |
The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures
that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue
recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about
the following:
| 1. | Contracts with customers – including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation
of revenue, and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the
remaining performance obligations) |
| 2. | Significant judgments and changes in judgments – determining the timing of satisfaction
of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance
obligations |
| 3. | Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. |
ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early

In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based
Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”
(“ASU 2014-12”).
The amendments clarify the proper method
of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the
requisite service period. The Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after
the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating
the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that
the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the
requisite service has already been rendered.
The amendments in this Update are effective
for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
In connection with preparing financial
statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial
statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions
and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that
the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable
that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements
are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
When management identifies conditions or
events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider
whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating
effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively
implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about
the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial
doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration
of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand
all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
a. Principal conditions or events that
raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s
plans)
b. Management’s
evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations
c. Management’s
plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial
doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration
of management’s plans, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt
about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements
are issued (or available to be issued). Additionally, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial
statements to understand all of the following:
a. Principal
conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
b. Management’s
evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations
c. Management’s
plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
The amendments in this Update are effective
for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application
is permitted.
In November 2014, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update 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” (“ASU 2014-16”).
The amendments in ASU No. 2014-16 clarify
that an entity must take into account all relevant terms and features when reviewing the nature of the host contract. Additionally,
the amendments state that no one term or feature would define the host contract’s economic characteristics and risks. Instead,
the economic characteristics and risks of the hybrid financial instrument as a whole would determine the nature of the host contract.
The amendments
in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
after December 15, 2015. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted.
In February 2015, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02 “ Consolidation (Topic 810) -Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”
(“ASU 2015-02”) to improve certain areas of consolidation guidance for reporting organizations (i.e., public,
private, and not-for-profit) that are required to evaluate whether to consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships,
limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (e.g., collateralized debt/loan obligations). All
legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments:
| · | Eliminating the presumption that a general
partner should consolidate a limited partnership. |
| · | Eliminating the indefinite deferral of
FASB Statement No. 167, thereby reducing the number of Variable Interest Entity (VIE) consolidation models from four to two (including
the limited partnership consolidation model). |
| · | Clarifying when fees paid to a decision
maker should be a factor to include in the consolidation of VIEs. Note: a VIE is a legal entity in which consolidation is not based
on a majority of voting rights. |
| · | Amending the guidance for assessing how
related party relationships affect VIE consolidation analysis. |
| · | Excluding certain money market funds from
the consolidation guidance. |
The amendments in this Update are effective
for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.
In April 2015, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the
Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”).
To
simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require 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 the amendments in this Update.
For public business entities, the amendments
in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods
within those fiscal years.
In August 2015, the FASB issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective
Date” (“ASU 2015-14”).
The amendments in this Update defer the
effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain
employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,
including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial
statements.
Note 3 - Going Concern
The Company has elected to adopt early
application of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern
(Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
The financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets,
and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the financial statements,
the Company had an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2015, net loss from operations and net cash used in operating activities for
the three months then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Currently, management is attempting to
increase revenues and improve gross margins by a revised sales strategy. The Company is redirecting its sales focus from direct
sales to domestic and international channel sales, where the Company is primarily selling through a channel of Distributors, Value
Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy
to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continually increase its customer base
and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts.
The financial statements do not include
any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 – Intangible Assets
Entry into an Asset Purchase Agreement
On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into
an Asset purchase agreement with Lively, LLC (the “Agreement”), whereby the Company acquired certain assets of Lively,
LLC for consideration of (i) payment of $150,000 and (ii) Preferred shares with a fair market value of $250,000 at the time of
the issuance. Assets purchased included: a) software, inventions, customers, customer lists, development, documents and records,
designs, claims, intellectual property rights, distribution rights and merchandising rights; b) all copyright, patents, trademarks,
trade names, logos or service marks and other intangible property and rights.
The Company issued 133,334 preferred shares
to Lively LLC to satisfy the consideration (ii) for the acquisition of the intangible assets which were valued at $1.53 per share,
the most recent PPM price per common share from the subsequent sale of common stock as the preferred shares are convertible to
common shares on a 1 to 1 basis and the business has not changed between July 2014, the date of acquisition of the assets and April
2015, the date of the equity financing. The Company recorded the intangible assets of $354,000 including (i) $150,000 in cash and
(ii) $204,000 in preferred shares.
Accounting Treatment of the Transaction
The Company acquired certain assets, a
lesser component of an entity. In evaluating whether an acquisition of a lesser component of an entity constitutes a business the
Company considered the following facts and circumstances: (1) Whether the nature of the revenue-producing activity of the component
will remain generally the same as before the transaction; or (2) Whether any of the following attributes remain with the component
after the transaction: (i) Physical facilities, (ii) Employee base, (iii) Market distribution system, (iv) Sales force, (v) Customer
base, (vi) Operating rights, (vii) Production techniques, or (viii) Trade names. The Company determined that this transaction is
a straight asset acquisition and not a business acquisition as there is no sufficient continuity of the acquired entity’s
operations after the transaction.
Impairment Testing and Amortization
Expense
The Company acquired the intangible assets
in July 2014 and is in the process of developing the technology for its commercial operations and the management of the Company
determined that there was no impairment of such assets at December 31, 2014.
(ii) Amortization Expense
Amortization expense was $5,900 and 0 for
the reporting period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 7 – Derivative Instruments
and the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In August of 2014, the Company entered
into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Holders”)
for an aggregate of $96,000 in Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes” or “Securities”). The Securities
included 6 convertible debt instruments with variable conversion prices with reset provisions. The Notes convert at a certain percentage
of future financing and/or pre-money valuations on a full dilution basis; therefore the Company has an indeterminate number of
shares required to share settle the notes and is a derivative instrument as of issuance. In addition, since this note has an indeterminate
number of shares to settle the Notes and this qualifies the convertible debt instruments as derivative instrument as of issuance.
Under the Security Purchase Agreements, the holders
of the Convertible Promissory Notes have the following terms and conditions:
1. If not previously converted,
all outstanding principal and accrued interest under a given Note will be due and payable on demand by the Holder at any time after
the earlier of (i) 36 months following issuance of such Note (the "Maturity Date") or (ii) the consummation of a Corporate
Transaction (sale of substantially all of the Company's assets or stock; an IPO by the Company; merger of the Company; or a liquidation/dissolution).
2. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 0% to 10%
per annum compounded annually.
3. The Note
is convertible as follows: (a) If the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, shares of the same class of stock issued
to investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of a Corporate Transaction, shares of common
stock of the Company; or (c) if the Note is converted as part of a Maturity Conversion, units of Class A limited liability company
membership interest ("Class A Units").
4. The Note
Conversion Price is determined as follows: (a) if the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, an amount equal to 80%
of the price paid per share paid by the investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of a
Corporate Transaction, a price per share derived by dividing a "pre- money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the number of
shares outstanding immediately prior to the time of such conversion, on a fully diluted basis; or (c) if the Note is converted
as part of a Maturity Conversion, a price per unit derived by dividing a "pre-money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the total
number of units (restricted and non-restricted) outstanding immediately prior to the time of such conversion, on a fully diluted
basis.
5. If the
Next Equity Financing or a Corporate Transaction has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, and the Note has not been repaid
in full, the outstanding balance will, at the Holder's election, be (a) due and payable in full or (b) converted into Conversion
Security.
Valuation of Derivative Financial
Instruments
The Company has utilized a third
party valuation consultant to assist the Company to fair value the derivative financial instruments. The company uses Monte Carlo
models that value the derivative liability within the notes. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random)
price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash or stock)
of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion
with constant drift, and constant volatility. The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since
the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios
and outcomes.
The features in the Notes that
were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion feature with the adjustable conversion price and
redemption provisions (at the option of the Holder). Based on these features, there are two primary events that can occur:
the Holder converts the note or the Holder redeems the note.
The model simulates the underlying
economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that
would be in effect at the time (i.e. stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as
redemption likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the note based on management projections.
This led to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation was completed, and it
was compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative
liability for that simulation. For each valuation, 10,000 simulations were run and the results were averaged to determine the derivative
liability as of the date of each valuation.
The convertible notes were valued at issuance (potentially
convertible if a financing event occurred in the period) and also at the quarterly periods with the following assumptions:
- The stock price was based on the Private Placement
dated January 1, 2015 which raised $686,320 at $1.53 per VNUE Common S tock share price with 9,491,961 issued / outstanding
and using the TGRI capitalization of 477,664,519 issued / outstanding with a Common Stock share price of $0.0304.
- The stock projections are based on the comparable
company annual volatilities for each date. These volatilities were in the 104 - 122% range:
| |
1 year | | |
| |
1 year | |
| |

| 122 | % |
| |
| | | |
| |
| | |
2/9/15 | |
| 120 | % | |
| |
| | |
- The stock
price projection was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and an constant volatility, starting
with the $0.03 market stock price at each valuation date;
- An event of default would not occur during the remaining
term of the note;
- Conversion of the notes to stock
would occur only at maturity if the Note was in the money and a reset event had occurred - either the Next Financing or
Corporate Transaction;
- Redemption would have no
derivative value since no penalty or interest rate adjustment exist in these Notes;
- Discount rates were based on
risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term and date of each valuation and instrument.
- The Note
is convertible as follows: (a) if the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, shares of the same class of stock
issued to investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of a Corporate Transaction,
shares of common stock; or (c) if the Note is converted as part of a Maturity Conversion.
- The Note
Conversion Price is based on the following: (a) if the Note is converted upon the Next Equity Financing, an amount equal to 80%
of the price paid per share paid by the investors in the Next Equity Financing; (b) if the Note is converted in the event of
a Corporate Transaction, a price per share derived by dividing a "pre- money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the number
of shares outstanding prior to such conversion, on a fully diluted basis; or (c) if the Note is converted as part of a Maturity
Conversion, a price per unit derived by dividing a "pre-money" valuation of $8,000,000 by the total number of units/shares
(restricted and non-restricted) outstanding prior to such conversion, on a fully diluted basis.
- If the
Next Equity Financing or a Corporate Transaction has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, and the Note has not been repaid
in full, the outstanding balance will, at the Holder's election, be (a) due and payable in full or (b) converted into Conversion
Security.
-The conversion
price adjustments from the Next Financing and Corporate Transaction (the IPO/Reverse Merger on May 29, 2015) and cash requirements
since the IPO are:
¨
As a result of the reverse merger and Corporate Transaction with Tierra Grande Resources Inc. (TGRI stock symbol), 634,345,251
issued and outstanding common shares existed following the Closing of the Merger with VNUE on 5/29/15.
¨
As of May 29, 2015 the conversion price assuming an $8 million pre-money valuation and 634,345,251 shares outstanding was $0.01261.
The conversion may reset up through maturity assuming the same $8 million pre-money value and the fully diluted shares outstanding
at that time.
¨
The Company has no further projected financings in the form of private placements.
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the estimated fair
value of derivative liabilities on convertible notes was $122,260 and $215,748, respectively.

Preferred Stock
In July 2014, Vnue Washington issued 133,334
shares of preferred stock for the acquisition of certain assets from Lively, LLC. The preferred shares were valued at $1.53 per
share or $204,000. This was based on the price of the January 2015 private placement, as the preferred shares are convertible to
common shares on a 1 to 1 basis and there were no significant changes in the business between the date of assets acquisition and
the date of private placement.
Common Stock
Upon formation, 7,808,001 shares of Vnue
Washington common stock were issued in exchange for the membership units of VNUE, LLC.
Transfer
of Vnue LLC Membership as Common Stock
During the year ended December 31, 2014,
a stockholder of the Company contributed $100,000 for the acquisition of 2% membership interest of VNUE, LLC, which was converted
to 190,000 shares of common stock upon formation of Vnue Washington in August 2014. The contribution has been recorded as common
stock.
Common
Stock issued for cash
In February and March 2015, VNUE Washington
sold 71,895 shares of common stock to two (2) investors at $1.53 per share, or $110,000 in aggregate for cash.
Note 10 – Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all events that
occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when the financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported.
The Management of the Company determined that there were certain reportable subsequent event(s) to be disclosed as follows:
Sale of Common Shares for Cash
The
Company sold 344,000 common shares at $1.53 per share to six investors for $526,320 in cash during the period from April 2015 to
May 2015.
Closing of Agreement and Plan of
Merger
On May 29, 2015, Vnue, Inc. (formerly Tierra
Grande Resources Inc. (the “TGRI”) closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), initially
entered into on April 13, 2015 with VNUE Washington and all of the stockholders of VNUE Washington.
Upon closing of the Merger Agreement a
total of 507,629,872 shares of TGRI common stock were issued as follows: (i) all shares of Vnue Washington stock of any class or
series issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement were automatically converted into and exchanged
for an aggregate of 477,815,488 fully paid and non-assessable shares of TGRI common stock; and (ii) an aggregate of 29,814,384
shares of TGRI common stock were issued to Matheau J. W. Stout, Esq. as payment for services performed prior to and in connection
with the Merger. The number of TGRI common shares issued to Vnue Washington's stockholders for the acquisition of all shares of
Vnue Washington represented approximately 79.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the closing of the
Merger Agreement. The board of directors and the members of the management of TGRI resigned and the board of directors and the
member of the management of Vnue Washington became the board of directors and the member of the management of the combined entities
upon closing of the Merger Agreement.
As a result of the controlling financial
interest of the former stockholders of Vnue Washington, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger between TGRI and
Vnue Washington was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Vnue Washington deemed the accounting acquirer and TGRI deemed the accounting
acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Section 805-10-55 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction in substance whereas the assets and liabilities of Vnue Washington (the
accounting acquirer) are carried forward to TGRI (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the
combination and the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) of Vnue Washington is being retroactively
restated using the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement to reflect the number of shares of TGRI issued to effectuate
the acquisition. The number of common shares issued and outstanding and the amount recognized as issued equity interests
in the consolidated financial statements is determined by adding the number of common shares deemed issued and the issued equity
interests of Vnue Washington immediately prior to the business combination to the unredeemed shares and the fair value of
TGRI determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC Section 805-40-55 applicable to business combinations, i.e. the equity structure
(the number and type of equity interests issued) in the consolidated financial statements immediately post the combination reflects
the equity structure of TGRI, including the equity interests the legal parent issued to effect the combination.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Pursuant to FASB ASC Paragraph 805-10-25-23
acquisition-related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include finder’s fees;
advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative costs, including the
costs of maintaining an internal acquisitions department; and costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. The
acquirer shall account for acquisition related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services
are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities shall be recognized in accordance with other applicable
GAAP.

Index to the Pro Forma Combined Financial
Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Operations
Vnue, Inc. (formerly Tierra Grande
Resources, Inc.)
Vnue, Inc. (formerly Tierra Grande Resources,
Inc.) ("TGRI") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 4, 2006. TGRI engaged in the acquisition
and exploration of mineral properties and was inactive prior to the acquisition of Vnue, Inc. (a company incorporated under the
laws of the State of Washington).
Vnue, LLC/Vnue, Inc.
Vnue LLC ("Vnue LLC" or “Predecessor”)
is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 1, 2013 which began operations in January
2014. On December 3, 2014, Vnue LLC filed a certificate of merger and is merged into Vnue Washington with Vnue Washington as the
surviving corporation. Vnue LLC offers a technology driven solution for Artist, Venues and Festivals to automate the capturing,
publishing and monetization of the content.
Vnue, Inc. ("Vnue Washington")
was incorporated on October 16, 2014 under the laws of the State of Washington for the sole purpose of acquiring all of the membership
interests of the Predecessor.
On December 3, 2014, the Company issued
an aggregate of 7,998,001 shares of the newly formed corporation’s common stock to the members of the Predecessor for all
of their membership interests in the Predecessor. No value was given to the common stock issued by the newly formed corporation.
The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of Vnue Washington and the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor, which
are recorded at historical cost.
Vnue Washington applied paragraph 505-10-S99-3
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (formerly Topic 4B of the Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) (“SAB
Topic 4B”) issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), by reclassifying the Predecessor’s
undistributed retained earnings of ($334,543) at December 3, 2014 to additional paid-in capital.
Vnue Technology Inc.
Vnue technology Inc ("Vnue Tech")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on October 16, 2014, with Vnue Washington owning 90% of the shares and
10% owned by one of Vnue Washington's directors. Vnue Tech was currently inactive.

was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on October 16, 2014, with Vnue Washington owning 89% of the shares and
11% owned by one of Vnue Washington's directors. Vnue Media was currently inactive.
Closing of Agreement and Plan of
Merger
On May 29, 2015, Vnue, Inc. (formerly Tierra
Grande Resources Inc.) (the “TGRI”) closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), initially
entered into on April 13, 2015 with Vnue Washington and all of the stockholders of Vnue Washington.
Upon closing of the Merger Agreement a
total of 507,629,872 shares of TGRI common stock were issued as follows: (i) all shares of Vnue Washington stock of any class or
series issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement were automatically converted into and exchanged
for an aggregate of 477,815,488 fully paid and non-assessable shares of TGRI common stock; and (ii) an aggregate of 29,814,384
shares of TGRI common stock were issued to Matheau J. W. Stout, Esq. as payment for services performed prior to and in connection
with the Merger. The number of TGRI common shares issued to Vnue Washington's stockholders for the acquisition of all shares of
Vnue Washington represented approximately 79.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the closing of the
Merger Agreement. The board of directors and the members of the management of TGRI resigned and the board of directors and the
member of the management of Vnue Washington became the board of directors and the member of the management of the combined entities
upon closing of the Merger Agreement.
As a result of the controlling financial
interest of the former stockholders of Vnue Washington, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger between TGRI and
Vnue Washington was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Vnue Washington deemed the accounting acquirer and TGRI deemed the accounting
acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Section 805-10-55 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction in substance whereas the assets and liabilities of Vnue Washington (the
accounting acquirer) are carried forward to TGRI (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the
combination and the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) of Vnue
Washington is being retroactively restated using the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement
to reflect the number of shares of TGRI issued to effectuate the acquisition. The number
of common shares issued and outstanding and the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements
is determined by adding the number of common shares deemed issued and the issued equity interests of Vnue Washington
immediately prior to the business combination to the unredeemed shares and the fair value of TGRI determined in accordance
with the guidance in ASC Section 805-40-55 applicable to business combinations, i.e. the equity structure (the number and type
of equity interests issued) in the consolidated financial statements immediately post the combination reflects the equity structure
of TGRI, including the equity interests the legal parent issued to effect the combination.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Pursuant to FASB ASC Paragraph 805-10-25-23
acquisition-related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include finder’s fees;
advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative costs, including the
costs of maintaining an internal acquisitions department; and costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. The
acquirer shall account for acquisition related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services
are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities shall be recognized in accordance with other applicable
GAAP.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
Assumptions of Pro Forma Combined
Financial Statements
The pro forma combined balance sheet as
of March 31, 2015 and the pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months then ended are based on the historical
financial statements of Vnue Washington and TGRI after giving effect to Vnue Washington's acquisition of TGRI using the acquisition
method of accounting and applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the notes to the pro forma combined financial statements
as if such acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2015 for pro forma combined financial statements purposes.
The pro forma combined financial statements
have been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position
or combined results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Vnue Washington and
TGRI been a combined entity during the specified period(s). The pro forma adjustments are based on the preliminary information
available at the time of the preparation of this document and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The pro forma
combined financial statements, including the notes thereto, are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read
in conjunction with Vnue Washington’s historical financial statements included elsewhere in this Amendment to the Current
Statement on Form 8-K/A as of March 31, 2015 and for the period then ended as Exhibits filed with SEC herewith.
The pro forma combined financial statements
do not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of the combined entity would actually have been
if the merger had in fact occurred on January 1, 2015, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position
of the combined entity for any future period or as of any date.
These pro forma combined financial statements
do not give effect to any restructuring costs or to any potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies that could result
from the merger between Vnue Washington and TGRI since such amounts, if any, are not presently determinable.
