EXPLANATORY NOTEPART I

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (the "Amended 10-K") to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 10, 2012 (the "Original 10-K"). This Amended 10-K restates, for reasons described below, the balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and its related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2012.

The accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2012 have been restated for the following errors:

(1)  Reflect a correction in the presentation of common stock subscribed related to the purchase of the train business, from a liability to stockholders’ equity.  The nature of this account is such that it will not be settled with cash or other assets, but rather it will be settled by issuance of a fixed number of Company’s common stock.  Accordingly it should be classified in stockholders’ equity.
(2)  Certain of the warrants outstanding had elements that qualified them as derivative liabilities instead of equity. And two of the notes payable also had embedded elements that required bifurcation and statement as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, we obtained a third party valuation of the warrants and embedded derivatives and reclassified them as derivative liabilities.
(3)  The Company made corrections to the way it accounts for stock based compensation.
(4)  Finally, the Company has determined that since goodwill is amortized for income taxes, but not for books, there exists a temporary difference in the carrying amount of this asset between book and tax. Furthermore, as it cannot be concluded that this difference can be absorbed by the Company’s net operating loss carryforward, it is necessary to record a deferred income tax liability.

Amendments to the Original 10-K

For the convenience of the reader, this Amended 10-K sets forth the Original 10-K, as modified and superseded where necessary to
reflect the restatement. The following items have been amended principally as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:

Part II — Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Part II — Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
• Part II — Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data;
• Part II — Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure;
• Part II — Item 9A. Controls and Procedures;
• Part III — Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services; and
Part IV — Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amended 10-K includes certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of this filing. Except for the items noted above, no other information included in the Original 10-K is being amended by this Amended 10-K. The Amended 10-K continues to speak as of the date of the Original 10-K, and we have not updated the filing to reflect events occurring subsequently to the Original 10-K date, other than those associated with the restatement of the Company's financial statements. Accordingly, this Amended 10-K should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K.

PART I

Item 1.  Business
History

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was formed, formerly known as a Delaware corporation in March 9, 2007 as Corporate Outfitters, Inc., a development stage company whose business plan involved establishing itself as a specialized brand promotional merchandising company. On November 3, 2008, pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Liberty Capital Asset Management. In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc. and changed its business plan to one of acquiring pools of non-performing loans and restructuring the financial parameters such that the defaulted borrower can return to making payments in a timely manner. On January 21, 2010, the Company, acquired all100% of the assetsissued and outstanding stock of Las Vegas Railway Express, a Nevada corporation.corporation on January 21, 2010.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. and changed its business plan to one of developing passenger rail transportation and ancillary ticketing and reservation services between the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas, Nevada. In November 2012, the Company executed an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad which allowed the Company to operate its passenger service on their property from Daggett, California to Las Vegas, a distance of 175.8 miles.  In May 2013, the Company and Amtrak, which was planning to haul the Company’s rail cars from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in regular service, was informed by BNSF Railway (“BNSF”) that it would not approve Amtrak’s request to operate on the BNSF system. Although the Company tried several alternative approaches to satisfy BNSF’s denial, none were accepted and both Amtrak and the Company were forced to suspend their efforts to establish the planned service over the Cajon Pass route.

During the development period for the Los Angeles to Las Vegas route, the Company became visible in the press and several independently owned passenger rail companies discussed how the Company’s Club X style railcars could be deployed on existing excursion lines. The Company began to focus its infrastructure towards acquiring independently owned passenger rail operations throughout the United States and providing upscale commuter Club X railcars for various state Department of Transportation municipal transportation agencies.

Company Overview

On April 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with the Santa Fe Southern Railway, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to manage the passenger services. The Company will be adding its Club X cars to the train consists. Operations on the route are planned to commence in July 2014.  Subsequent routes will follow with a similar deployment format.
 
The Company owns outright a series of 16 Pullman bi-level passenger railcars, as well as two leased cars acquired through an agreement with Mid America Leasing Company. These cars are planned for use in the deployment of cars on our future affiliated routes. The first two cars have been completed and are scheduled to go into service on the Santa Fe Southern Railway in July 2014. The remaining cars are scheduled to be refurbished during the remainder of 2014.
The Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “XTRN”.  The Company website is www.vegasxtrain.com, www.clubxtrain.com and www.xtrainvacations.com. The contents of this website are not incorporated into this Report.
The Company maintains offices at 6650 Via Austi Parkway, Suite 140, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119.
Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths will allow us to acquire prospective privately owned passenger rail operators throughout the US and consolidate them under one brand – X Train.
We are a licensed travel agency and can book tickets for numerous clients. As a licensed travel agency, we have access to numerous travel portfolios including virtually all passenger rail companies. By booking tickets on these rail lines, the Company believe it would become a known resource and proficient in rail travel bookings. If acquisitions are made, the travel agency call center operated by the Company can increase sales of tickets to our owned properties.

Experienced Management and Board of Directors. We have an experienced management team and board of directors comprised of both experienced industry professionals and successful entrepreneurs. Our CEO, Michael Barron has experience establishing and growing several companies over the past 30 years.  Mr. McPherson serves on the Board of Directors of CSX Corporation and has served as President/CEO of the Illinois Central Railroad, a Class 1 railroad and served as President/CEO of the Florida East Coast Railway.  Gilbert Lamphere also serves on the board of CSX Corporation.
Access to capital. Our team has raised over $20 million for the operations of the Company to date and has developed excellent relationships with the capital markets in the US. We believe we can raise capital for companies we acquire to grow their business under our umbrella.  However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in our capital raising efforts.  Since we have no revenues, we are dependent on continued access to additional debt and equity financing.  Inability to raise additional financing will have a material adverse impact on our business and operations.
Train Equipment and Service
The Company leases two passenger rail cars which it has refurbished into its Club X Train motif. Each Club X Train car seats 48 passengers in a club room style motif reminiscent of a nightclub of the 1940’s and 1950’s. One of the cars has a full demonstration kitchen on board for entertainment style cooking for party events. These cars are available to be deployed by various companies which we acquire to add a specialty product currently unavailable to most independent companies currently in the business.

Company OverviewClub X Train style interiors
 
The Company’s plan is to establish a rail passenger train service between Las Vegas and Los Angeles using existing railroad lines currently utilized by two Class I railroads, Burlington Northern and Union Pacific. The development concept is to provide a Las Vegas style experience on the train (which we plan to call the “X” Train), which would traverse the planned route in approximately 5 hours. We plan to operate a single travel route marketed primarily to a leisure traveler from the Southern California basin  enabling us to sell rail travel as a stand-alone operation with hotel rooms and other travel related services. Our unique travel option will offer a diversified product that will set us apart from travel related options of automobile and air.   
 
The Company is in discussions with both the Union Pacific RailroadSales and the BNSF Railway seeking to secure rail trackage rights agreements. The Company has reached a preliminary agreement with Union Pacific Railroad awaiting finalization of the BNSF agreement and certain capital planning issues. An updated capacity planning and feasibility analysis has substantially been completed for Union Pacific and is in final discussion with BNSF. A series of passenger railcars has been negotiated to be acquired under an agreement with Transportation Management Services.  The Company has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (or MOU) with the Plaza Hotel as a Las Vegas station site and has a similar pending agreement with the City of Fullerton for use of that station for the Los Angeles terminus of the service. The Company has executed an MOU with AMTRAK outlining duties and responsibilities of each party.Distribution
 
The Company estimates that it will needWe intend to obtain $35MM in additional capitalsell tickets for the X-Train through our website, www.xtrainvacations.com , www.clubxtrain.com and through our rail partners such as Santa Fe Southern Railway www.sfsr.com. Our call centers and our terminal ticket counters expect to begin operations of our train service. The Company intendsadditionally sell through third party distributors such as Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and other internet travel agencies. We also expect to seek to raise these funds through the public or private sale of equity and/or debt securities. There is no assurance such funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company succeeds in raising such funds, it intendsable to use them for   railcar purchase, design, refurbishment and outfitting, Las Vegas depot design and construction, lease payments, UP and BNSF mileage fees, salaries and other professional fees and also information technology and corporate infrastructure development. Subject to obtaining needed funding,certain of the Company estimates thatdistribution links provided by the various agencies where we deploy Club X train service will start in 3rd quarter of 2013.cars on municipal rail services.
 
Prior to commencing operations of the train service, the Company will also need to secure all of the above agreements with Union Pacific Railroad
Pricing and BNSF. Additionally, we will have to finalize our haulage agreement with Amtrak.

Marketplace
There has been no regular passenger railOur fare structure for Club X Train commuter service between these two demographic areas for 13 years. The only major highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is Interstate 15 (I-15). Over 12 million people travel this corridor from LA to Las Vegas every year and as the LA population grows, so will the traffic on this highway. The forecast for traffic on I-15 is expected to be 17 million by 2030. It is congested and becoming increasingly so,comprised of multiple "buckets," with motor vehicle travelers experiencing substantial delays during peak travel times (e.g., Friday and Sunday afternoons to 6 hours or more). Withseat prices generally increasing fuel costs, increasingly restrictive highway capacity, and reduced air travel from LA to Las Vegas, a rail transportation product with a Vegas motif, is a viable alternative.

The Southern California traveler represents a thirdas the number of all visitors to Las Vegas and 95% of these travelers use their automobiledays prior to travel decreases. Prices in the highest pricing “bucket” can be up to Las Vegas. If we capture 237,00050% higher than the prices in the lowest “bucket.” All fares vary slightly depending upon the time of these drivers (2.0%day purchased.

TravelThe number of seats offered at each fare “bucket” of Club X Train will be established through a continual process of forecasting, optimization and competitive analysis. Booking history and seasonal trends are expected to be used to forecast anticipated demand. These historical forecasts will be combined with current bookings, upcoming events, competitive pressures and other factors to establish a mix of fares designed to maximize revenue. This ability to accurately adjust prices based on fluctuating demand patterns is expected to allow us to maximize revenue from Southern California to Las Vegas constitutesexisting capacity.
Our pricing on Club X Train seats has been guided by a major portion of visitor activity and is a financial foundation for the economypricing study conducted by RL Banks. The results of the Las Vegas region. Aboutstudy after an examination of seven other comparable rail passenger excursion services are as follows:
Ancillary Revenues
In addition to the basic X-Train service offering, our business model also includes many premium options that will serve as sources of ancillary revenue. Each X-Train passenger car is expected to be served by a third of all Vegas visitors are Californians, according to a survey by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority in 2010. Statistics collected by the Center for Business and Economic Research at UNLV show that of 44.5 million annual visitors that drove into the Las Vegas Valley in 2010, 27% arrived from Southern California.

Products and Services

Class 1 Railroad Access

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad are the two largest Class 1 railroadsbartender who will prepare premium alcoholic beverages not included in the United Statesbase ticket fare. Snacks and own the railroad right of way between Los Angeles, Californiavarious X-Train merchandising are also expected to be offered for purchase through our free mobile application.
We also aim to capture significant revenue as a “one stop” booking agent for our passengers’ complete itinerary. In these activities, commissions are expected to be derived through our call centers, our website, and Las Vegas, Nevada,our on-board mobile application, where we plan to have the “X” Train operate its service. The first step in allowing any passenger train service along their infrastructure is the completion of capacity planning and logistics studies in order for the Class I railroads to align the introduction of passenger service with their existing freight business.  Final scheduling of the “X” Train time slotcustomers will be finalized byallowed the third quarter of 2012.



AMTRAK

We entered into an arrangement with AMTRAK in September 2009 in connection withoption to book ahead for various attractions and necessities such as hotels, tours, restaurant reservations, and rental cars at our goal of reinstating passenger rail service on the Las Vegas/Los Angeles rail corridor. AMTRAK had planned, but abandoned the service when their Federal funding did not materialize in 2006. We then began negotiations with AMTRAK to take over their position to run service on the route. Now, almost 3 years later, we have executed with AMTRAK the first of several agreements on this route and they have agreed to provide  locomotive engineers, conductors, train servicing, maintenance, ticketing services, and a host of other services associated with the operations of The “X” Train.

Train Operations

The proposed route of The “X” Train is approximately 300 miles with the end points being Fullerton, California and then direct to Las Vegas, Nevada, The railroad Rights-of-Way (ROW) over which passenger train service could operate between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, California include privately and publicly owned segments. The privately-held portions are owned either by BNSF Railway (BNSF) or by Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR).acquired properties.

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. has negotiated a trackage rights agreement with Union Pacific Railroad allowing our “X” Train access to their portion of our route. This agreement from Union Pacific Railroad is pending execution subject to the concurrence of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad by 3rd quarter of 2012.

Our agreements with the owners of the track where our route will travel and our willingness to pay the owners a competitive market rate gives our “X” Train the status needed to meet our scheduled travel times. In railroad terms, the owners of the track will allow our “X” Train to pass slower and longer freight trains by moving to the numerous sidings along the route. Further, such track owners will ensure immediate  maintenance of any and all track maintenance and other services that we would rely on for prompt and safe service.

In addition, the Class 1 railroads have completed their capacity planning analysis. These projects are performed by the railroad companies and include a specific time and destination study of the exact consist we will be running on the proposed existing rail infrastructure in our route..
Haulage Agreements

Our agreement with AMTRAK would provide us with trained T&E crews, consulting and inspection services during design, development and construction and daily inspections services to ensure safe and reliable operations. In addition to the stated services, our agreement and operating partnership would bring the following strengths:

Experience in operating passenger rail service
Existing contracts with Class I railroads
Liability insurance caps
Experienced crew and maintenance teams
Established ticketing infrastructure on- line for cross marketing opportunities
Established relationships with host railroads

AMTRAK will not be involved in any customer service operations related to our stated customer service standards.Employees

Our Business Strategy

Capture And Divert Current Automobile Travelers.  95% of the 12,000,000 annual visitors from the Southern California/Los Angeles market drive to Las Vegas. In order to fill the initial “X” Train, we need only to divert/convert 237,000 from their car to the train or just 2.0% of the total annual drivers. The two demographic areas have significantly grown their population bases without the needed automobile infrastructure growing with it. 95% of all Las Vegas travelers from the Southern California basin drive to Las Vegas using the I-15 corridor.
Operating Partnerships with Host Railroads to Deliver on Time Performance.  Our agreements and our ability to pay a “market rate” with the two host railroad companies will be designed to ensure we and they will have no issues with their freight business and that they will ensure a high on-time result.
Operating Partnerships with Los Angeles based commuter Rail services. Metrolink.  The “X” Train is leveraging various relationships in the Los Angeles Metro area and one of them is the co- marketing plan with Metrolink. Metrolink operates commuter passenger rail service in the greater Los Angeles metro area and services over 12 million riders annually. Metrolink has 55 local train stations which share the same right of way and/or connect to X Train planned station at  Fullerton, California. By joint venturing a marketing plan with Metrolink, “X” Train gains access to its ridership for travel to Las Vegas.
Metrolink is looking to expand its weekend ridership and the “X” Train is a viable candidate. Discussions have already begun with Metrolink towards forging a joint marketing and operations plan for “X” Train to have access to the 55 stations in the Metrolink network.
Capacity Management.  We plan to start out with two (2) roundtrips a week. We anticipate that our capacity will be nearly 1,200 passengers a day. If demand fluctuates, we anticipate that we will have the ability to add or subtract cars to meet the demands of each day. In year 2 of our Business Plan we plan to add two additional trains to our schedule and by year 5 we anticipate having 10 trains running on this route.
Low Operating Costs.Most transportation travel companies have very high fixed and variable costs associated with operating their businesses and can comprise up to 70% of all of their operating costs.  Our model projects a stabilized cost associated with hauling our train comprised of negotiated rates with the host railroads. Corporate overhead is minimal.Masterpiece Cuisine.
 
Competition

Las Vegas Railway Express’ “X” Train will have no conventionalOur primary competitor is Iowa Pacific Corp. of Chicago, Illinois. Iowa Pacific is a private company which operates freight short line businesses as well as six passenger rail service competing against our product. The 2012 Nevada State Rail Plan (www.nvrailplan.com) reviewed all the proposals for rail services for the year and Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. was among the recommended projects.

Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business

InvestingWe have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made.
Our future operations are contingent upon generating revenues and raising capital for operations.  Because we have a limited operating history, you will have difficulty evaluating our business and future prospects.
We also face the risk that we may not be able to effectively implement our business plan.  If we are not effective in addressing these risks, we may not operate profitably and we may not have adequate working capital to meet our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully considerobligations as they become due.
We currently have no revenues and are totally dependent upon the risks described below withproceeds from investors to fund our business.
We will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision. If any ofnet proceeds from investors, and future financings, as we have not yet generated revenues. There can be no assurance that we would be able to raise the possible adverse events described below actually occurs,additional funding needed to implement our business results of operationsplans or financial condition would likely suffer. In such an event, the market price ofthat unanticipated costs will not increase our Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.projected expenses.

We have a history of losses and a large accumulated deficitcan provide no assurance of our future operating results.
            We have not generated revenue since inception, and may not succeed in generating revenue. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and we may not be ableexpect such losses and negative cash flows to achieve profitabilitycontinue in the foreseeable future.
We have net losses As of $2,006,033March 31, 2014 and $1,791,983 forMarch 31, 2013, we had cash of $87,910 and $1,262,615, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, we incurred net losses of $13,052,020 and $6,766,091, respectively. As of March 31, 2012,2014, we havehad an aggregate accumulated deficit of $11,809,532.$31,627,643.  We may never achieve profitability. The opinion of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2014 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and continued implementation of our business plan.
 Our business plan, in part, relies on our ability to acquire or partner with passenger rail companies.
We engage in attracting independently owned passenger rail operations to contract with us for either sales or operating rights contracts on their railroads.  Without these agreements, the Company would have no new operations from which it could operate its service.  The Company has no guarantee that it can secure these agreements in the future nor that the agreements it has can be maintained beyond their contract limits.
 We have incurred substantial indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2014 we have outstanding promissory notes of approximately $2,036,333.  In the past, we have been in default under this debt. There can be no assuranceassurances that we will be profitable in the future. If we are not profitable and cannot obtainraise sufficient capital we may have to cease our operations.
Changes in government policy could negatively impact demand for the Company’s services, impair its ability to price its services or increase its costs or liability exposure.
Changes in United States government policies could change the macroeconomic environment and affect demand for the Company’s services. Developments and changes in laws and regulations as well as increased economic regulation of the rail industry through legislative action and revised rules and standards applied by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board in various areas, including rates, services and access to facilities could adversely impact the Company’s ability to determine prices for rail services and significantly affect the revenues, costs and profitability of the Company’s business. Additionally, because of the significant costs to maintain its rail network, an increase in expenditures related to the maintenance of the rails owned by the Class I railroads could hinder the Company’s ability to maintain, improve or expand the rail network, facilities and equipment in order to accept or handle our Company’s increased demand. Federal or state spending on infrastructure improvements or incentives that favor other modes of transportation could also adversely affect the Company’s revenues.
The Company’s success depends on its ability to continue to comply with the significant federal, state and local governmental regulations to which it is subject.
The Company is subject to a significant amount of governmental laws and regulation with respect to its and practices, taxes, railroad operations and a variety of health, safety, labor, environmental and other matters. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Governments may change the legislative and/or regulatory framework within which the Company operates without providing the Company with any recourse for any adverse effects that the change may have on its business. Federal legislation enacted in 2008 mandates the implementation of positive train control technology by December 31, 2015, on certain mainline track where intercity and commuter passenger railroads operate and where toxic-by-inhalation hazardous materials are transported. This type of technology is new and deploying it across our host railroads’ infrastructure may pose significant operating and implementation risks and could require significant capital expenditures.
As part of the Class I railroad operations, the Company will traverse rails that frequently transports chemicals and other hazardous materials, which could expose it to the risk of significant claims, losses and penalties.
The “host” or Class I railroads are required to transport these commodities to the extent of its common carrier obligation. An accidental release of these commodities could result in a significant loss of life and extensive property damage as well as environmental remediation obligations. The associated costs could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, insurance premiums charged for some or all of the coverage currently maintained by the Company could increase dramatically or certain coverage may not be available to the Companygenerate sufficient revenue in the future if there is a catastrophic event related to rail transportation of these commodities.service our debt. If legal proceedings were commenced against us or we are unable to service our debt, then creditors may foreclose on the debt and seize our assets which may force us to suspend or cease operations altogether.

DownturnsOur indebtedness, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could:
make it more difficult for us to satisfy its obligations with respect to the indebtedness and any failure to comply with the obligations under any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants, could result in further event of defaults under the loan agreements and instruments governing the indebtedness;
 require us to dedicate a substantial portion of any cash raised from financing or cash flow from future operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other corporate purposes;
 increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have relatively less indebtedness;
 limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in business and the industry in which we operate; and
 limit our ability to borrow additional funds, or to dispose of assets to raise funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other corporate purposes.
We may incur significant additional indebtedness in the economyfuture. If we incur a substantial amount of additional indebtedness, the related risks that we face could adverselybecome more significant. Additionally, the terms of any future debt that we may incur may impose requirements or restrictions that further affect demand for the Company’s services.our financial and operating flexibility or subject it to other events of default.
 
Significant, extended negative changesIf We Fail To Comply With The Numerous Laws And Regulations That Govern Our Industry, Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected.
Our business must comply with extensive and complex rules and regulations of various federal, state and local government authorities.  We may not always have been and may not always be in domesticcompliance with these requirements.  Failure to comply with these requirements may result in, among other things, revocation of our ability to operate a conventional rail system, class action lawsuits, administrative enforcement actions and global economic conditions that impactcivil and criminal liability.
The Loss Of Any Of Our Executive Officers Or Key Personnel Would Likely Have An Adverse Effect On Our Business.
Our future success depends to a significant extent on the customers transported bycontinued services of our senior management and other key personnel, particularly Michael A. Barron.  The loss of the Company and mayservices of Mr. Barron or other key employees would also likely have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity. Declines in economic growth and the United States travel industry all could result in reduced revenues in one or moreour business, units.
Negative changes in general economic conditions could lead to disruptions in the credit markets, increase credit risks and could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or liquidity.
Challenging economic conditions may not only affect revenues due to reduced demand for many goods and services, but could result in payment delays and increased credit risk. Railroads are capital-intensive and may need to finance a portion of the building and maintenance of infrastructure as well as locomotives and other rail equipment. Economic slowdowns and related credit market disruptions may adversely affect the Company’s cost structure, its timely access to capital to meet financing needs and costs of its financings. Declines in the securities and credit markets could also affect the Company’s pension fund and railroad retirement tax rates, which in turn could increase funding requirements.
The Company is subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations, which may impose significant costs on its business operations.
The Company’s operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions to the air; discharges to waters; the generation, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and hazardous materials; and the cleanup of hazardous material or petroleum releases. Changes to or limits on carbon dioxide emissions could result in significant capital expenditures to comply with these regulations with respect to the Company’s diesel locomotives, equipment, vehicles and machinery and its maintenance yards.  Emission regulations could also adversely affect fuel efficiency and increase operating costs. Further, local concerns on emissions and other forms of pollution could inhibit the Company’s ability to build facilities in strategic locations to facilitate growth and efficient operations. In addition, many land holdings are and have been used for industrial or transportation-related purposes or leased to commercial or industrial companies whose activities may have resulted in discharges onto the property. The Company’s subsidiaries have been and may continue to be subject to allegations or findings to the effect that they have violated, or are strictly liable under, these laws or regulations. The Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected as a result of any of the foregoing, and it may be required to incur significant expenses to investigate and remediate environmental contamination.
Fuel supply availability and fuel prices may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.condition.

Severe weatherthe future and natural disastersit is possible that we could disrupt normal business operations, which would result in increased costs and liabilities and decreases in revenues.
The Company’s success will be dependent on its ability to operate its railroad system efficiently. Severe weather and natural disasters, such as tornados, flooding and earthquakes, could cause significant business interruptions and result in increased costs and liabilities and decreased revenues. In addition, damages to or loss of use of significant aspects offace infringement actions based upon the Company’s infrastructure due to natural or man-made disruptions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity for an extended period of time until repairs or replacements could be made. Additionally, during natural disasters, the Company’s workforce may be unavailable, which could result in further delays. Extreme swings in weather could also negatively affect the performance of locomotives and rolling stock.content licensed from these third parties.

The Company’s operational dependencies may adversely affect results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
Due to the integrated nature of the United States’ freight transportation infrastructure, the Company’s operations may be negatively affected by service disruptions of other entities such as ports and other railroads which interchange with the Company and its Class I railroad partners. A significant prolonged service disruption of one or more of these entities could have an adverse effectOur common stock is quoted on the Company’s resultsOTCQB, which may limit the liquidity and price of operations, financial conditionour common stock more than if our common stock were quoted or liquidity.listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a National Exchange.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
The Company depends onapplication of the stability and availability of its information technology systems.
The Company relies on information technology in all aspects of its business. A significant disruption or failure of its information technology systems could result in service interruptions, revenue collections, safety failures, security violations, regulatory compliance failures and the inability to protect corporate information assets against intruders or other operational difficulties. Although the Company has taken steps to mitigate these risks, a significant disruption“Penny Stock” Rules could adversely affect the Company’s resultsmarket price of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

The Company isSEC has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to various claims and lawsuits, and increases in the amount or severity of these claims and lawsuits could adversely affect the Company’s operating results, financial condition and liquidity.certain exceptions.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
 
As part of its railroad operations,
  that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the Company’s Class I railroad partners are exposedbroker or dealer must:
  obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
  make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to various claims and litigation related to commercial disputes, personal injury, property damage, environmental liability and other matters. Personal injury claimsany transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by our employees and those of the host railroads are subjectSEC relating to the Federal Employees’ Liability Act (FELA), rather than state workers’ compensation laws. The Company believes that the FELA system,penny stock market, which, includes unscheduled awards and a reliance on the jury system, can contribute to increased expenses. Other proceedings include claims by third parties for punitive as well as compensatory damages, and a few proceedings purport to be class actions. Developments in legislative and judicial standards, material changes to litigation trends, or a catastrophic rail accident or series of accidents involving any or all of property damage, personal injury, and environmental liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition and liquidity.highlight form:
 
Most of the Company’s host railroad employees are represented by unions, and failure to negotiate reasonable collective bargaining agreements may result in strikes, work stoppages or substantially higher ongoing labor costs.
A significant majority of the Class I railroads employees are union-represented. These union employees work under collective bargaining agreements with various labor organizations. Wages, health and welfare benefits, work rules and other issues have traditionally been addressed through industry-wide negotiations. These negotiations have generally taken place over an extended period of time and have previously not resulted in any extended work stoppages. The existing agreements have remained in effect and will continue to remain in effect until new agreements are reached or the Railway Labor Act’s procedures (which include mediation, cooling-off periods and the possibility of presidential intervention) are exhausted. While the negotiations have not yet resulted in any extended work stoppages, if the Company or our Class I railroad partners are unable to negotiate acceptable new agreements, it could result in strikes by the affected workers, loss of business and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members, any of which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity.

The unavailabilityGenerally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules.  This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
Changes in demographics, training requirementsour common stock and the unavailability of qualified personnel, particularly engineers and trainmen, could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet demand for rail service. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, particularly those with expertisecause a decline in the railroad industry, are vital to operations. Although the Company has adequate personnel for the current business environment, unpredictable increases in demand for rail services may exacerbate the risk of not having sufficient numbers of trained personnel, which could have a negative impact on operational efficiency and otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition or liquidity.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012, states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Our auditors' report on our audited March 31, 2012 financial statements, and Note 2 to such financial statements, reflect the fact that without raising additional financing through loans or stock sales, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.  The business plan requires extensive infrastructure and capital expenditures prior to commencement of revenue generating operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital and if we are unable to do so we may have to cease operations.

The Company has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
The Company has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012 is ineffective because of material weakness identified related to inadequate technical accounting review of transactions which resulted in a restatement of the 2012 and 2011 financial statements. A failure to implement improved internal controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or execution, could cause the Company future delays in its reporting obligations and could have a negative effect on the Company and the trading price of the Company’s common stock. See “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures,” for more information on the status of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

If our stockholders sell substantial amountsa high of $1.68 on the OTCQB. The trading price of our common stock on the OTCQB is subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, quarterly variations in operating and financial results, and general economic and market conditions. In addition, statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to our market or relating to us could result in an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The highly volatile nature of our stock price may cause investment losses for our shareholders. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the public market price of their securities. If securities class action litigation is brought against us, such litigation could result in substantial costs while diverting management’s attention and resources.
Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional shares of common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.
            In the past, we have issued common stock, convertible securities (such as convertible debentures and notes) and warrants in order to raise money. We have also issued options and warrants as compensation for services and incentive compensation for our employees and directors. We have shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of certain of these securities and may increase the shares reserved for these purposes in the future. Our issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, could fall.  These sales also may make it more difficult forresult in adjustments to exercise prices of outstanding warrants, and could obligate us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. (the "Company”, “Las Vegas Railway”“Company”, “we”, “our”“us”, or “us”“our”), a Delaware corporation, is a company whose plan is to re-establish a conventional rail passenger train service betweenformerly known as Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc., acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Las Vegas Railway Express, a Nevada corporation on January 21, 2010.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. and changed its business plan to one of developing passenger rail transportation and ancillary ticketing and reservation services between the Los Angeles usingarea and Las Vegas, Nevada. In November 2012, the Company executed an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad which allowed the Company to operate its passenger service on their property from Daggett, California to Las Vegas, a distance of 175.8 miles.  In May 2013, the Company and Amtrak, which was planning to haul the Company’s rail cars from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in regular service, was informed by BNSF Railway (“BNSF”) that it would not approve Amtrak’s request to operate on the BNSF system. Although the Company tried several alternative approaches to satisfy BNSF’s denial, none were accepted and both Amtrak and the Company were forced to suspend their efforts to establish the planned service over the Cajon Pass route.

Our assessment is that when we started, BNSF had 3,000 locomotives in mothballs and 2,000 crews furloughed. Traffic through Cajon Pass was at 86 trains per day with a total capacity of 160 trains per day. In short, they had capacity.  Today, all locomotives are back in service and BNSF is leasing 1,000 more. Oil is being hauled over this corridor and capacity is at a premium with 120+ trains per day over the pass. With pending capacity issues, BNSF is reserving its rail franchise for freight and has closed off any access via the Cajon pass.
During the development period for the Los Angeles to Las Vegas route, the company became visible in the press and several independently owned passenger rail companies discussed how the Club X style could be deployed on existing freight railroadexcursion lines. The development concept isCompany began to provide a Las Vegas style experiencefocus its infrastructure towards acquiring independently owned passenger rail operations throughout the United States and providing upscale commuter Club X railcars for various state Department of Transportation municipal transportation agencies.

On April 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with the Santa Fe Southern Railway, located in Santa Fe New Mexico, to manage the passenger services on the railroad. The Company will be adding its Club X cars to the train which would traverseconsists. Operations on the route are planned routeto commence in approximately 5:00 hours. We planJuly 2014.  Subsequent routes will follow with a similar deployment format.
The Company owns outright a series of 16 bi-level passenger railcars as well as two leased cars acquired through an agreement with Mid America Leasing Company. These cars are planned for use in the deployment of cars on our future affiliated routes and acquired companies. The first two cars have been completed and are scheduled to operate a single travel route marketed primarilygo into service on the Santa Fe Southern Railway in July of 2014. The remaining cars are scheduled to a leisure traveler frombe refurbished during the Southern California basin  enabling us to sell rail travel as a stand-alone operation bundled with hotel rooms and other travel related services. Our unique travel option will offer a diversified product that will set us apart from travel related optionsremainder of automobile and air.2014.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

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

Intangible Assets:

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of the train businessLas Vegas Railway Express on November 23, 2009.January 21, 2010.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level.  On March 31, 2012, asAs required by the Intangible“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), the Company conducted an analysis of the goodwill on its single reporting unit using the Company’s market capitalization (based on Level 1 inputs). For the fiscal years ending March 31, 2012 and 2011, our assessment2014.

Long-Lived Assets:

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment foundwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that due totheir net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the continued progress towardCompany compares the measurement goalsprojected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the business plan that therecarrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is no impairmentrecorded in the period in which the determination is made.
Deposit with Union Pacific:

On November 8, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company whereby the Company was granted a nonexclusive operating right to use Union Pacific railroad track between Daggett, California and Las Vegas, Nevada, subject to certain terms and conditions.  In connection with this agreement, the Company made an earnest money deposit of goodwill.$600,000 and was required to meet certain financial conditions, including the provision of a letter of credit in favor of Union Pacific in the amount of $27,444,145 on or before October 31, 2013.   The Company haselected to terminate this agreement on October 31, 2013 as it no accumulated impairment losseslonger planned to operate on goodwill.the Union Pacific Railroad Company as a regularly scheduled passenger train.  As a result, the Company determined the $600,000 deposit was impaired and expensed the amount during the year ended March 31, 2014 as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes.Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

The Company’s goodwill is deductible for tax but not for book. This difference creates a deferred tax liability, which cannot be matched with the Company’s deferred tax asset. As a result, the Company cannot net it with its net operating loss carryforward and therefore records a deferred tax liability to reflect the future non-deductibility of its goodwill asset. The deferred tax liability at March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $42,343 and $0, respectively.
14

 
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of March 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Stock-Based Compensation:Share Based Payment:

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

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

16

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

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

The Company values stock options and warrants that do not qualify as derivative instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  There were no warrants or options grantedissued during the years ended March 31, 20122014 or 2011 for which the Company used2013.  There were no warrants valued using the Black-Scholes model.model during the year ended March 31, 2014.  
 
Certain compensatory warrants qualify as derivative instruments and are valued using the binomial lattice method. See Note 7 to the financial statementsdiscussion below regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.
Derivative Liabilities:

In connection with the private placement of Convertible Notes beginning in February 2013, the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares of common stock in excess of the 200 million authorized under the Company’s certificate of incorporation.  Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative liability.

15

The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued on and subsequent to November 30, 2012 had been accounted for as derivative liabilities.

On December 2, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock shares.  As a result, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock and common stock equivalents no longer exceeded the number of authorized shares.  As a result, as of December 2, 2013, these instruments that were accounted for as derivative liabilities were reclassified as equity.

The Company also has certain warrants and notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and four outstanding notes payable that had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.

The Company values these warrants and notes payable using the binomial lattice method.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations (see Note 7).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, trade accounts receivable, accountsnotes payable and accrued expenses.  All instrumentsderivative liabilities.  Derivative liabilities are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturityrecorded at fair value.  The principal balance of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2012.  The amounts shown for notes payable approximateapproximates fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

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

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

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

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The process for determining fair value using unobservable inputs is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of management judgment and assumptions. These assumptions may have a significant effect on our estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions as well as changes in market conditions could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Revenue
During the years ended March 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, our railcar operations have yet to generate any revenue.

Operating Expenses

Compensation and payroll taxes increaseddecreased by $441,164,$158,333, or 56.5%5.2%, during the year ended March 31, 20122014 as compared to 2011.2013.  The increasedecrease in compensation expense in the current year is due primarily to higher costs in 2013 related to the issuance of warrants to directors and officers as compensation in November 2012, which resulted in additional expenses of approximately $1.2 million.  During the year ended March 31, 2014, the decrease in costs were offset by the hiring of additional full-time employees, addition of board members and issuing stock grants and warrants for compensation.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,057,958, or 162.4%, during the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to replace consultants that were previously used, includingthe same period in 2013 primarily due to the impairment of our Chief Executive Officerdeposit with Union Pacific of $600,000 resulting from the termination of our agreement with them in October 2013, as well as increases in director and Chief Operating Officer.  Accordingly, weofficers’ insurance and travel expenses related to raising capital.  We had a reduction ofan increase in our professional fee expenses during the year ended March 31, 20122014 of $483,321.  Selling, general$256,622, or 15.9%, due primarily to legal, consulting and administrative expenses decreased by $81,258, or 25.8% during 2012 primarily due to higher costs in 2011 associated with travel expensesaccounting services and $360,726 related to raising capital, as well as higherthe amortization of expenses associated with officers auto allowances and rent expense.from warrants issued to consultants.  We had an impairment loss of $843,697 during the year ended March 31, 2014 resulting from the impairment of our goodwill.

Other (Expense) Income

Interest expense increased by $96,318, or 48%,$5,762,782 during 2012the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2013.  The increase is due primarily to the issuance of additional convertible notes payable in the current year as compared to 2013.  The conversion feature associated with the convertible notes and the value of warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes have been accounted for as discounts to the convertible notes payable.  The discount is being amortized into interest expense over the maturity date of the convertible notes.  This resulted in interest expense during the year ended March 31, 2014 of $4,835,032, compared to $2,165,385 in 2013, representing an increase of $2,669,647.  In addition, we had capitalized debt issuance costs related to these convertible notes payable, which are being amortized over the maturity date of the notes of February 1, 2014, which resulted in additional interest expense during the year ended March 31, 2014 of $637,680, compared to $15,472 during the year March 31, 2013.  During the year ended March 31, 2014, we also had debt conversion expense of $2,217,878 resulting from the induced conversion of convertible debt during February 2014 at a reduced conversion rate, which has been reflected as interest expense.  There was no such amount during the year ended March 31, 2013.

The change in the value of derivative liabilities amounted to $2,162,790 for the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $270,466 for the year ended March 31, 2013.  The increase was primarily due to the increasedecrease in debtvalue of derivative liabilities outstanding during the period, as well as the issuance of warrants in connection with debt during 2012.  Our change in derivative liability amounted to $37,086 during 2012 resulted in the decrease in the valuation of derivative transactions entered into during 2012.  There was no corresponding amount during 2011, as we had no derivatives during that timeframe.year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support asset growth, satisfy disbursement needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. The Company has no operating revenues and is currently dependent on debt financing and sale of stockequity to fund operations.

We have experiencedAs shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $13,052,020 and negative cash flows from operations since our inception.  We have sustained losses from continuing operations of $2,006,033 and $1,791,983$6,766,091 for the years ended March 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, respectively.  

We continueThe Company also has an accumulated deficit of $31,627,643 and negative working capital of $2,736,886 as of March 31, 2014, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $2,023,000, of which $1,750,000 is due on June 30, 2014.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to actively pursue various funding options, including equity offerings and debt financings, to obtain additional funds to continue the development of our products and bring them to commercial markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any fund raising transactions on terms acceptableimplement its business plan.  Given the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to us or at all.  continue as a going concern.

18

We believe that the successful growth and operation of our business is dependent upon our ability to do any or all of the following:
·obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to pay unfunded operating expenses and fund long-term business operations; and
·manage or control working capital requirements by controlling operating expenses.

Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assumingsuccessful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will continue as a going concern. Although a substantial portion of the Company’s cumulative net loss is attributablehave sufficient funds to discontinued operations, management believes that it will need additional equityexecute its intended business plan or debt financing to be able to implement the business plan.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving our long-term plans as set forth above, or that such plans, if consummated, will enable us to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term.

The Company raised $ 383,254 during the year ended March 31, 2012 from private offerings of stock.  The Company also received an additional $788,333 from the issuance of debt.

On April 27, 2012 the Company commenced a private offering of common stock to raise interim funds (up to $1.5MM) through a private offering memorandum. As of June 22, 2012, the Company has received gross proceeds of $1,120,000 from the sale of 22,400,000 shares of common stock. The Company anticipates this will provide the Company with sufficientgenerate positive operating cash for at least one year.  The Company intends to seek such funding through private or public sales of equity and/or debt securities. There is no assurance such funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.results.

LAS VEGAS RAILWAY EXPRESS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 20122014 and 20112013


(1)  Description of Business:

Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.  (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in March 9, 2007 as Corporate Outfitters, Inc., a development stage company. On November 3, 2008, pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Liberty Capital Asset Management, a Nevada corporation, formed in July of 2008 as a holding company for all the assets of CD Banc LLC in contemplation of the company going public via a reverse merger into a publicly trading corporation.

CD Banc LLC was formed in 2003 as a Nevada limited liability corporation with the purpose of acquiring real estate assets and holding them for long-term appreciation.

The Company business plan is to re-establish a conventional passenger train service between the Las Vegas and Los Angeles metropolitan areas.  On January 21, 2010, the Company completed a share exchange and asset purchase agreement with Las Vegas Railway Express, a Nevada Corporation, and subsequently changed its name from Liberty Capital Asset Management, Inc. to Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc.

The Company previously pursued a business plan of establishing passenger rail service between the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas, Nevada.  During 2014, the Company changed its focus to providing upscale commuter Club X railcars for various state Department of Transportation municipal agencies.

The Company owns outright 16 bi-level passenger railcars as well as two leased cars acquired through an agreement with Mid America Leasing Company.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.America ("GAAP"). 

Restatement:
The accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and forEffective on December 2, 2013, the year ended March 31, 2012have been restated to reflectCompany executed a correction in the presentation of common stock subscribed related to the purchase of the train business, from a liability to stockholders’ equity.  The nature of this account is such that it will not be settled with cash or other assets, but rather it will be settled by issuance of a fixed numberone-for-twenty reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.  Accordingly it should be classifiedAll references to number of shares and per share amounts included in stockholders’ equity.
Additionally, the Company has determined that certain of the warrants outstanding had elements that qualified them as derivative liabilities instead of equity. And two of its notes payable also had embedded elements that required bifurcation and statement as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, it obtained a third party valuation of the warrants and embedded derivatives and reclassified them as derivative liabilities.
Additionally, the Company made correctionsthis report give effect to the way it accounts forreverse stock based compensationsplit.
   
Finally, the Company has determined that since goodwill is amortized for income taxes, but not for books, there exists a temporary difference in the carrying amount of this asset between book and tax. Furthermore, as it cannot be concluded that this difference can be absorbed by the Company’s net operating loss carryforward, it is necessary to record a deferred income tax liability.
The impact of the restatements described above is as follows.

Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $2,006,033$13,052,020 and $1,791,983$6,766,091 for the years ended March 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, respectively.  AlthoughThe Company also has an accumulated deficit of $31,627,643 and a substantial portionnegative working capital of the Company’s cumulative net loss$2,736,886 as of March 31, 2014, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $2,023,000, of which $1,750,000 is attributable to discontinued operations, managementdue on June 30, 2014.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement the business plan.  The Company has no operating revenuesGiven the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is currently dependent on external debt financing and/or sale of equities to fund operations.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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

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

26

 
Risks and Uncertainties:

The Company generates no revenues.  The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and potential government regulations.  Significant changes in regulations and the abilityinability of the Company to establish contracts with rail services providers could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s operations.
 
Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Amounts could materially change in the future.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are statedrecorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recorded using theand depreciated on a straight-line methodbasis over thetheir estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the relatedindividual assets ranging from threeare placed in service.  The Company expenses all purchases of equipment with individual costs of under $500, and these amounts are not material to thirty years. Total depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $320 and $0 for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.  Major betterments and renewals are capitalized.  Gains or losses are recognized upon sale or disposition of assets.financial statements.

Intangible Assets:

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of the train businessLas Vegas Railway Express on November 23, 2009.January 21, 2010.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level.  On March 31, 2012, asAs required by the "Intangible -“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other"Other” topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), the Company conducted an analysis of the goodwill on its single reporting unit usingMarch 31, 2014.  Due to the Company’s market capitalization (based on Level 1 inputs). Forchanges in the business model during the year ended March 31, 2014, management has determined the goodwill has been fully impaired as of March 31, 2014.  As a result, for the fiscal yearsyear ending March 31, 2012 and 2011, our assessment2014, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $843,697 in the accompanying statement of operations.

Long-Lived Assets:

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment foundwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that duetheir net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company determined that $98,172 of capitalized costs relating to the continued progress towardconstruction of a proposed train station in North Las Vegas were impaired a result in the measurement goalschange in the Company’s business plan.  These amounts have been expensed and included as a component of professional fees during the business plan that there is no impairmentyear ended March 31, 2014.
Deposit with Union Pacific:

On November 8, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company whereby the Company was granted a nonexclusive operating right to use Union Pacific railroad track between Daggett, California and Las Vegas, Nevada, subject to certain terms and conditions.  In connection with this agreement, the Company made an earnest money deposit of goodwill.$600,000 and was required to meet certain financial conditions, including the provision of a letter of credit in favor of Union Pacific in the amount of $27,444,145 on or before October 31, 2013.   The Company haselected to terminate this agreement on October 31, 2013 as it no accumulated impairment losseslonger planned to operate on goodwill.the Union Pacific Railroad Company tracks as a regularly scheduled passenger train.  As a result, the Company determined the $600,000 deposit was impaired and expensed the amount during the year ended March 31, 2014 as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

27

 
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share:

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings“Earnings Per Share,,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders after reducing net income by preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock.  Common stock equivalents have not been included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the years ended March 31, 20122014 and 20112013 as the amounts are anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, the Company had 2,000,000100,000 outstanding options which were excluded from the computation of net incomeloss per share because they are anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2012,2014 and 2013, the Company also had convertible debt that wasis convertible into 3,000,0005,339,132 and 1,795,000 shares, respectively, of common stock which was excluded from the computation.  As of March 31, 2012,2014 and 2013, the Company had 1,500,0001,569,842 and 2,924,842 outstanding warrants, respectively, which were also excluded from the computation because they were anti-dilutive.
28


Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes.Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

ThePrior to the impairment of the goodwill as of March 31, 2014, the Company’s goodwill iswas deductible for tax but not for book.purposes. This difference createscreated a deferred tax liability, which cannotcould not be matched with the Company’s deferred tax asset. As a result, the Company cannotwas not able to net itthe deferred tax liability with its net operating loss carryforward, and therefore recordsrecorded a deferred tax liability to reflect the future non-deductibility of its goodwill asset. The deferred tax liability at March 31, 20122013 was $55,914.  Upon the impairment of the goodwill as of March 31, 2014, the deferred tax liability no longer existed and 2011 was $42,343 andamounted to $0 respectively.as of March 31, 2014.
 
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of March 31, 20122014 and 2011,2013, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Share Based Payment:
Stock-Based Compensation:

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

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

28

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

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

The Company values stock options and warrants that do not qualify as derivative instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  There were no warrants or options grantedissued during the years ended March 31, 20122014 or 2011 for which the Company used2013.  There were no warrants valued using the Black-Scholes model.model during the year ended March 31, 2014.  Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value warrants issued during the year ended March 31, 2013 are as follows:
  Year Ended Year Ended
  March 31, March 31,
  2014 2013
     
Expected life in yearsNA 1.5 - 10 years
Stock price volatilityNA 158.6% - 286.0%
Risk free interest rateNA 0.25% - 1.62%
Expected dividendsNA None
Forfeiture rateNA 0%
 
Certain compensatory warrants qualify as derivative instruments and are valued using the binomial lattice method. See Note 7discussion below regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.
 
Derivative Liabilities:

In connection with the private placement of Convertible Notes beginning in February 2013, the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares of common stock in excess of the 200 million authorized under the Company’s certificate of incorporation.  Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative liability.

The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued on and subsequent to November 30, 2012 had been accounted for as derivative liabilities.

On December 2, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock shares.  As a result, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock and common stock equivalents no longer exceeded the number of authorized shares.  As a result, as of December 2, 2013, these instruments that were accounted for as derivative liabilities were reclassified as equity.

The Company also has certain warrants and embedded conversion options in notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and four outstanding notes payable that had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.

The Company values these warrants and embedded conversion options in notes payable using the binomial lattice method.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations (see Note 7).

29

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, trade accounts receivable, accountsnotes payable and accrued expenses.  All instrumentsderivative liabilities.  Derivative liabilities are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturityrecorded at fair value.  The principal balance of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2012.  The amounts shown for notes payable approximateapproximates fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

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

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

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

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
29

The Company used Level 3 measurments in computing the fair value of goodwill, which was fully impaired on March 31, 2014.
 
The processFair value heirarchy for determiningrecurring fair value using unobservable inputsmeasurements is generally more subjective and involves a high degree of management judgment and assumptions. These assumptions may have a significant effect on our estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions as well as changes in market conditions could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.follows:

In December 2011, the FASB issued Account Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income - Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05,” to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, “Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate—a Scope Clarification” to clarify that when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest (as described in ASC subtopic 810-10, Consolidation) in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in subtopic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, a reporting entity would not satisfy the requirements to derecognize the in substance real estate before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. Under this new guidance, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest under subtopic 810-10, the reporting entity would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary’s operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. This amendment is applicable to us prospectively for deconsolidation events occurring after June 15, 2012. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning July 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements

(5)  Convertible Notes Payable:

During February and March 2013, the Company issued a series of convertible notes payable made(the “Convertible Notes”) to investors thatfor total proceeds of $1,900,000.  The Convertible Notes are includedconvertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share at the option of the debt holder.  The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and have a maturity date of February 1, 2014.  Prior to March 31, 2013, the debt holders converted $105,000 of outstanding principal into 105,000 shares of common stock.  As a result, as of March 31, 2013, the remaining gross principal balance of the Convertible Notes outstanding amounted to $1,795,000.

During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued additional Convertible Notes to investors for additional proceeds of $880,000 with the same terms as described above.  During the year ended March 31, 2014, the debt holders converted $460,000 of outstanding principal and $9,287 of accrued interest into 469,287 shares of common stock pursuant to the original terms in liabilitiesthe agreements.

Prior to the maturity date of discontinued operations.the Convertible Notes on February 1, 2014, to induce the debt holders to promptly convert their remaining outstanding balances into shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company offered the debt holders with balances still outstanding a one-time reduction in the conversion rate from $1.00 per share to $0.60 per share.  The debt holders had until February 28, 2014 in order to exercise the reduced conversion rate.

Subsequent to the offer being made, all remaining debt holders of the Convertible Notes elected to convert their outstanding principal and accrued interest balances into shares of common stock at the reduced rate of $0.60 per share.  The aggregate principal balance of the Convertible Notes converted at the reduced rate amounted to $2,215,000, as well as accrued interest balances of $161,104.  This resulted in 3,960,174 shares of common stock issuable as payment for the outstanding principal and interest.  As of March 31, 2012, there has been no demand made2014, the Company had issued 3,941,483 shares of common stock for repaymentthe conversion of the notes or accrued interest.Convertible Notes.  The remaining 18,991 shares issuable for the conversion of $11,224 in outstanding balances are yet to be issued as of March 31, 2014.  Under the guidance in ASC 470-20-40-16, the Company recognized an expense at each conversion date equal to the fair value of the stock and other consideration transferred after the change in terms, less the fair value of securities issuable under the original conversion terms.  The excess in value amounted to $2,217,878 and was reflected as interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014.   

 
31

 
As of March 31, 2014, there was no remaining principal balance outstanding on the Convertible Notes.

In connection with the Convertible Notes, the Company granted an aggregate of 2,680,000 (including 880,000 during the year ended March 31, 2014) warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and a contractual life of 3 years.  Prior to the Company’s reverse stock split on December 2, 2013, the Company did not have sufficient authorized shares to satisfy the exercise of these warrants.  As a result, the warrants issued during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 were determined to be derivative liabilities which resulted in additional derivative liabilities of $1,372,237.  The conversion option associated with the Convertible Notes was bifurcated and also recorded as a derivative liability. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments.

The value of the derivative liabilities and discounts created through the issuance of the Convertible Notes and warrants during the year ended March 31, 2014 as described above exceeded the proceeds of the Convertible Notes by $1,675,450. This excess was recorded as interest expense on the issuance dates of each note and warrant during the year ended March 31, 2014.

On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into a promissory note which provides for the Company to borrow up to $350,000 in principal (the “Promissory Note”).  As of March 31, 2014, the Company has borrowed $150,000 under this Promissory Note, which represents the outstanding amount as of March 31, 2014.  Outstanding borrowings mature two years from the effective date of each payment.  If the outstanding balance of the note is repaid by the Company on or before 90 days from the effective date of the borrowing, the interest charged is 0%.  However, if the Company does not repay the note within 90 days, a one-time interest charge of 12% shall be applied to the outstanding principal sum.  The outstanding balance of the note may be converted into common stock at the option of the debt holder at a rate equal to $0.90 per share, or 60% of the lowest trading price in the 25 days trading days previous to the conversion date.

On November 22, 2013, the Company, entered into and closed a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company sold to the investor a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,750,000 (the “Note”), and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,750,000. The Note matures on June 30, 2014, bears interest at the rate of 10% per year payable on maturity in cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s option (subject to certain conditions), and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.70, subject to adjustment in the event of future stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions, or in the event of subsequent equity sales by the Company at a price lower than the conversion price then in effect.  The Warrants have a five year term, are exercisable on a cash or cashless basis, and have an exercise price equal to $1.00, subject to adjustment in the event of future stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions, or in the event of subsequent equity sales by the Company at a price lower than the exercise price then in effect.

The Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a security agreement, dated November 22, 2013 (the “Security Agreement”), between the Company and the Investor.

On March 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Iconic Holdings, LLC (the “Iconic Note”) in which the Company has access to borrow a total principal amount of $165,000.  All borrowings incur interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable as of the maturity date of March 24, 2015.  The initial borrowing made by the Company amounted to $55,000, which represents the amount outstanding on the Iconic Note as of March 31, 2014.  At the option of the debt holder, the outstanding balance may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lower of $0.50 or 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 25 consecutive trading days prior to conversion election date.

On March 25, 2014, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement with KBM Worldwide, Inc. (the “KBM Note”) for total principal borrowings of $68,000, which represented the amount outstanding as of March 31, 2014.  The amounts are due nine months after the issuance of the note on December 25, 2014, and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum.  At the option of the debt holder, beginning 180 days after the issuance of the note, the debt holder may convert the outstanding balance of the KBM Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to 61% of the average of the lowest three closing trading prices during the 10 trading day period prior to the conversion election date.

32

The above warrants issued with the Purchase Agreement have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and the Note, Promissory Note, Iconic Note and KBM Note balances described above have variable conversion features that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.  As a result, the Company accounts for both the conversion feature associated with these notes and the warrants as derivatives.  The Company values these warrants and conversion features using the binomial lattice method.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations.
The following summarizes the book value of the convertible notes payable outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.

In connection with the Convertible Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs, which primarily represented commissions paid to acquire the debt.  These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized through the maturity date of the notes.  Since the issuance of the Convertible Notes began in February 2013, the Company has capitalized a total of $653,151 of debt issuance costs, including the fair value of 236,000 warrants issued on April 29, 2013 as commission.  Amortization of these capitalized debt issuance costs amounted to $637,679 and $15,472 for the year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is reflected as interest expense on the accompanying statement of operations.  As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the remaining amount of capitalized debt issuance costs amounted to $0 and $116,329, respectively, which are included as a component of other current assets and other assets on the accompanying balance sheets.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be or has been involved in legal proceedings from time to time. As of the date of this annual report, on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to any legal proceedings relating to the Company which previously were not reported.

(7)  Derivative Instruments:

Excess Shares

In connection with the private placement of Convertible Notes beginning in February 2013 (see Note 5), the Company became contingently obligated to issue shares in excess of the 200 million shares authorized by stockholders. Consequently, the ability to settle these obligations with shares would be unavailable causing these obligations to potentially be settled in cash. This condition creates a derivative liability.

The Company has a sequencing policy regarding share settlement wherein instruments with the earliest issuance date would be settled first. The sequencing policy also considers contingently issuable additional shares, such as those issuable upon a stock split or anti-dilution, to have an issuance date to coincide with the event giving rise to the additional shares.

Using this sequencing policy, all instruments convertible into common stock, including warrants and the conversion feature of notes payable, issued subsequent to February 19, 2013 are classified as derivative liabilities.

Other Derivatives

The Company has certain warrants and notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The warrants have anti-dilution clauses that prevent calculation of the ultimate number of shares that may be issued upon exercise, and two of the notes payable had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible.

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses carry forwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.”  Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry forward period.  Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a 100% valuation allowance against the asset amounts.
 
Any uncertain tax positions would be related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.  The Company has no liabilities related to uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits as of the year end March 31, 20122014 or 2011.2013.  The Company has not accrued for interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax liabilities.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012.2014. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

A “significant deficiency” is defined as a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial information reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

Material Weakness in Accounting and Financial Reporting.
The Company did not maintain effective control over its annual financial statement reporting process which resulted in a restatement of the 2012 and 2011 financial statements. This restatement was a direct result of inadequate technical accounting review of transactions due to our inability to staff our accounting department with experienced US GAAP and SEC reporting personnel. A material weakness in financial reporting impacts the Company’s ability to timely report financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which could affect all significant financial statement accounts and disclosures.  To remediate this material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we have engaged a consultant with US GAAP and SEC reporting expertise to review our accounting prior to the issuance of financial statements.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’sManagement's report was not subject to attestation by the Company’sCompany's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rulesan exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the SecuritiesDodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.Consumer Protection Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.During the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company discovered the material weakness

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting disclosed above whichduring the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, except in certain specified instances, our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for the following:

  any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
 
  acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
  unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and
 
  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
46

In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws obligate us to indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and other amounts reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising from the fact that such person is or was an agent of ours. Our bylaws also authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against that person in that capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify that person under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. We expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers as determined by our Board of Directors. These agreements provide for indemnification of related expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract any retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding, which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Insofar as the provisions of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers and any other directors or executive officers.officers, except that Dianne David Barron, the Company's Manager of Station Development is the spouse of the CEO, Michael A. Barron.

Stock Option Plan

Our Board of Directors has adopted a stock option plan and reserved an aggregate of 20,000,0001,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of restricted stock and stock options under the plan.  The purpose of the plan is to enhance the long-term stockholder value of the Company by offering opportunities to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company to participate in our growth and success and to encourage them to remain in the service of the Company and acquire and maintain stock ownership in the Company.

The plan is currently administered by our Board of Directors, which has the authority to select individuals who are to receive grants under the plan and to specify the terms and conditions of each restricted stock grant and each option to be granted, the vesting provisions, the option term and the exercise price.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, an option granted under the plan expires 10 years from the date of grant (5 years in the case of an incentive option granted to a holder of 10% or more of the shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock) or, if earlier, three months after the optionee’s termination of employment or service.  Options granted under the plan are not generally transferable by the optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and generally are exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee.  The plan is subject to the approval of the stockholders within 12 months after the date of its adoption.

49

The plan will remain in effect for 10 years after the date of its adoption by our Board of Directors.  The plan may be amended by the Board of Directors without the consent of the “Company’s stockholders, except that any amendment, although effective when made, will be subject to stockholder approval if required by any Federal or state law or regulation or by the rules of any stock exchange or any automated quotation system on which the Company’s common stock may then be listed or quoted.  The number of shares received under the plan and the number of shares subject to outstanding options are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other extraordinary corporate events.
