Through PRAMA, the Company has a 29.575% equity interest in PCW, a non-trading company formed to develop a potential hotel in Bengaluru, India.

Acquisitions
On April 22, 2019 the Company acquired a 51% equity interest in PRAMA for $2,137,143, consisting of $1,400,000 in cash and the issuance of 2,632,653 shares of common stock valued at $737,143.
The Company has selected March 31made acquisitions at prices above the determined fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill due to the Company’s expectations of the synergies that will be realized by combining the businesses. These synergies include access to PRAMA’s hotel brands, customers and operations; use of the Company’s existing technology to expand sales of the acquired businesses; new operational and financial efficiencies of the acquired businesses to expand sales cost effectively for both business segments. Acquisitions will be accounted for by using the purchase method of accounting, and the acquired company’s results will be included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. Acquisition transaction costs have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred.
The acquisition of PRAMA was treated as a business combination under U.S. GAAP. During the first quarter, we estimated the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair value assessments. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary pending the completion of various analyses and the finalization of estimates. During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, additional assets or liabilities may be recognized if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The preliminary allocation may be adjusted after obtaining additional information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates, and these adjustments may be significant.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $936,788 in goodwill as the result of the acquisition of PRAMA, recorded within our Hospitality reporting segment. The revenues and earnings from PRAMA's operations that are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 is reflected in the Business segments note below.
The Company recognized $1,693,738 in revenue and $276,512 in net loss before income taxes of the acquiree in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the period April 22, 2019 through June 30, 2019. The revenue and net loss before taxes for the combined entity for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as though the acquisition of PRAMA had occurred on April 1, 2019 was $2,259,644, and $674,729, respectively. The revenue and net loss before taxes for the combined entity for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as though the acquisition of PRAMA had occurred on April 1, 2018 was $2,096,250, and $422,597, respectively. There were no material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the PRAMA acquisition, which were reported in the pro forma revenue and statement of operations or the consolidated condensed statement of operations.
2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred net losses from operations since inception. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $562,755 and the accumulated deficit was $4,782,894 as of June 30, 2019. The Company’s ongoing losses have had a significant negative impact on the Company’s financial position and liquidity.
The Company’s cash requirements are primarily to fund operating losses, working capital, capital expenditures and the completion of acquisitions. Historically, the Company has met these cash needs by borrowings under notes, sales of shares and warrants and the cash balances acquired from subsidiary acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to borrow or sell securities in the future, which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s operations are subject to number of factors that can affect its fiscal year end.
The Company’s directors are confident that the Company will be able to issue new shares (see Subsequent Events note below), and extend the maturity date on its convertible notes which will provide the Company with sufficient funding to meet its obligations as PinstripesNYC, Inc. until January 2016. TripBorn filed reportsthey become due. The Company’s directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. However, in the event that the Company is not able to successfully complete the fundraising and extension referred to above, significant uncertainty would exist as PinstripesNYC, Inc.to whether the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as going concerns and, therefore, whether they will realize their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) andpursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under("SEC")and include the Securities Exchange Actaccounts of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) from August 2010 until it terminated its registration under the Exchange Act in May 2013.
The transactionaccompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 was accounted forderived from the audited financial statements as a reverse recapitalization. Sunalpha wasof that date, but does not include all the acquirer for financial reporting purposes,information and TripBorn was the acquired company.
As a result of the acquisition of PRAMA, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company made a change to its segment reporting structure which resulted in two segments 1) eCommerce Aggregator and 2) Hospitality. As a result, certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation, that is they have been classified as relating to the eCommerce Aggregator business. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total net revenues, cost of revenues and other operating expenses, other expenses, net and net loss. Otherwise, we have not reclassified other prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunalpha and its subsidiary, PRAMA which the Company owns a 51% equity interest in. PRAMA was acquired on April 22, 2019. Through PRAMA, the Company has a 29.575% equity interest in PCW, which is accounted for under the equity method. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are prepared on the accrual basiseliminated in consolidation.
Use of accountingEstimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedU.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the United Statesfinancial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of America (“US GAAP”)which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as detailedof the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Our significant estimates include elements of revenue recognition, the application of fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation on the acquisition of PRAMA, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, costs to be capitalized as well as the useful life of capitalized software and income taxes.The use of different estimates or assumptions in determining the fair value of our goodwill, indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets may result in different values for these assets, which could result in an impairment or, in the period in which an impairment is recognized, could result in an impairment charge. The Company has not recognized an impairment charge for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’sBoard (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codificationissued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC”Topic 606”).
Topic 606 was effective as of April 1, 2018, for the Company, using either of two methods: (1) retrospective application of Topic 606 to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Topic 606 or (2) retrospective application of Topic 606 with the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per Topic 606. We adopted Topic 606 pursuant to the December 14, 2015method (2) and we determined that any cumulative effect for the initial application did not require an adjustment to accumulated deficit at April 1, 2018.
For revenue recognition arrangements that we determine are within the scope of Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction are those of Sunalpha and are recorded usingprice, (iv) allocate the historical cost basis. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the December 14, 2015 transaction include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Sunalpha upprice to the day priorperformance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the closingcustomer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we evaluate the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction andprice that is allocated to the assets, liabilities and results of operationsrespective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
The following is a description of the Company and SunalphaCompany’s principal activities, separated by reportable segments, from and after the closing of the transaction on December 14, 2015. All significant related party accounts and transactions betweenwhich the Company generates its revenue.
eCommerce Aggregator revenues:

In instances where the Company has procured coupons for airline tickets in advance for an anticipated future demand from customersservice.
Other Revenue. Primarily comprising visa processing fees, money transfer, and assumes the risk of loss for tickets not used, the revenue from the sale of such airline tickets is accounted for on the gross basis.
Hospitality Revenues:
Hospitality Services.
· | Room revenue: Revenue from hotel operations where customers book rooms and banquets/conference rooms is recognized based on the period for which the customer completes the transaction (i.e. the stayed night occurs or a deposit cancellation provision elapses). Payment is typically received upon check-out. For room revenue, the Company recognizes revenue over time. |
· | Food & beverages revenue: The Company provides food and beverages that customer consumes as they are provided. The performance obligation is satisfied at point in time. The Company recognizes revenue at the time of sale only. |
· | Management Fees from Operation & Maintenance Properties: Revenue under management contracts is recognized on the attainment of certain financial results, primarily operating earnings, as specified in each contract. Management fees are typically billed and paid monthly. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress and provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to the customer as the value transferred to the customer is substantially the same over time. Fees are variable with the uncertainty of base fees being resolved monthly and the uncertainty of incentive fees being resolved annually. These fees are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. |
Practical expedients. The Company has elected certain of the optional exemptions from rail and bus ticket reservations is recognized asthe disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an agent on a net commission earned basis, asentity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue. Accordingly, the Company does not assume anyapplies the practical expedient to its management fees from contracts with Operation & Maintenance Properties. These contracts are typically long-term, and the performance obligation following the confirmationconsists of the issuance of the ticketproviding hotel management services to the customer.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose revenue recognition since revenuerelated to remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less, and to not consider the effects of significant financing components in the transaction price when the duration of financing is recognized uponone year or less.
The Company has elected certain of the availment of services byoptional exemptions from the customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments (including money market funds)highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity at acquisition of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances in both USbank accounts in the U.S. and Indian financial institutions. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, depositsIndia, which at US financial institutions that exceededtimes may not be covered by, or exceed the Federalcoverage limit of the Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”) $250,000 insured limits were $758,380 and $0, respectively. BankCredit Guarantee Corporation of America’s credit rating is closely monitored by the Company and theIndia. The Company does not believe it’s uninsured deposits at Bank of America constitutes anythat this results in significant credit risk.
Receivables and Credit Policies
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billedmanagement expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, as a charge to bad debt expense, where collection is considered to be doubtful due to credit issues. These allowances together reflect the customer. Customer account balances with invoices exceeding credit terms are considered delinquent. PaymentsCompany's estimate of potential losses inherent in accounts receivable are allocatedbalances, based on historical loss and known factors impacting its customers. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.
The Company performs periodic analyses of each customer’s outstanding accounts receivable balance and assesses, on an account-by-account basis, whether the allowance for doubtful accounts needs to specific invoices identifiedbe adjusted based on currently available evidence such as historical collection experience, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. In accordance with the customer’s remittance advice or,Company’s policy, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.
Property and Equipment

The Company charges repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the assets to expenses as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives consist exclusively of trademarks and are tested for impairment at least annually. annually, or whenever events or indicators of impairment occur between annual impairment tests. Management expects to use the trademarks indefinitely.
Intangible assets that have limited useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful or legal lives.
The fair value of the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily oftrade names is determined using a discounted cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

Goodwill
Goodwill is assigned to our reporting units based on the expected benefit from temporary differences related to net property and equipment forthe synergies arising from each business combination, determined by using certain financial and income tax reporting.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company has concluded that asrecords an impairment of December 31, 2017 and 2016 there are no material uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or asset or disclosurelong-lived assets used in the financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Company’s management believes that the Company’s income tax returns for the last three years remain subject to examination based on normal statutory periods subject to audits, notwithstanding anyoperations, other than goodwill, when events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their remaining lives are less than the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value, which is typically calculated using the discounted cash flow method.
Business Combinations
When acquiring other businesses or participating in mergers or joint ventures in which we are deemed to be the acquirer, we generally recognize identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests at their acquisition date fair values, and separately from any goodwill that may existbe required to be recognized. Goodwill, when recognizable, would be measured as the excess amount of any consideration transferred, which could expandis generally measured at fair value, over the open period.
On the date of acquisition, the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree are recorded at their fair values. The acquiree's results of operations are also included in our consolidated results as of the date of acquisition. Intangible assets that arise from contractual/legal rights or are capable of being separated are measured and recorded at fair value and amortized over the estimated useful life.
Accounting for such transactions requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates. These include, among others, any estimates or assumptions that may be made for the amounts of future cash flows that will result from any identified intangible assets, the useful lives of such intangible assets, the amount of any contingent liabilities, including contingent consideration, to record at the time of the acquisition and the fair values of any tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Although we believe any estimates and assumptions, we make to be reasonable and appropriate at the time they are made, unanticipated events and circumstances may arise that affect their accuracy, causing actual results to differ from those estimated by us.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into USU.S. Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of ASC subtopic 830-10,830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”).Matters. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders’stockholders’ equity (deficit).
Earnings and Loss per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation.

Promotion and Advertising Expense
We incur advertising expense consisting of offline costs, including newspaper and media advertising, and online advertising expense to promote our brands. We expense the production costs associated with advertisements in the period in which the advertisement first takes place. We expense the costs of communicating the advertisement (e.g., newspaper, short message service (“SMS”) or email campaign) as incurred each time the advertisement or promotion is performed. Promotion and Advertising expense was $84,906 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $38 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. This increase in Promotion and Advertising expenses is due to the acquisition of PRAMA.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issued 71,428,570accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options over the instruments vesting period. Options awarded to purchase shares of common stock issued to Arna Global LLC (“Arna”)non-employees do not need to be remeasured as per ASU 2018-07 principles. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $25,723 and $0 was recognized in legal and consulting expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, respectively, as a result of an agreement for consulting services.
Leases
On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating prior periods. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 840.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed for the carryforward of historical lease classification, on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and of the assessment of initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to April 1, 2019. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The adoption did not impact our beginning or prior period consolidated condensed balance sheets, statement of equity / (deficit), statement of operations and statement of cash considerationflows.
Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and classifies that lease as either an operating or finance lease at inception. If an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease, we then determine whether the lease meets the criteria of $95,500. Arnaa finance lease or an operating lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement are considered. As the rate implicit in certain of the Company's leases is wholly-owned by Deepak Sharma,not easily determinable, the Company’s Presidentapplicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the sum of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset is recognized at the amount of the lease liability with certain adjustments, if applicable. These adjustments include lease incentives, prepaid rent, and Chief Executive Officerinitial direct costs. We reassess if an arrangement is or contains a lease upon modification of the arrangement. At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a lease liability for contractual fixed lease payments and a director.corresponding right-of-use asset representing our right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The Company accounted forlease liability is measured initially as the change in control transaction with Arna using the acquisition method of accounting. Arna obtained control of 93%present value of the outstanding shares of common stock of PinstripesNYC, Inc.contractual fixed lease payments during the lease term. The lease term additionally includes renewal periods only if it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the options. Contractual fixed leases payments are discounted at the rate implicit in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement among PinstripesNYC, Inc.lease when readily determinable. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised.
Operating leases are included inOperating lease right-of-use assets,Other current liabilities, Arna, and Maxim Kelyfos, LLC dated December 8, 2015, and was the acquirer. This transaction resultedOperating lease liabilities, due after one year, in (1) no identifiable assets being acquired, (2) no liabilities being assumed, (3) no goodwill being recognized and (4) no gains being recognized from a bargain purchase.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company acquired substantiallyhas determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available evidence, including future reversals of the outstanding shares of Sunalpha which was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of India in November 2010. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Sunalpha was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, and TripBorn was the acquired company. Consequently, the assets, liabilitiesexisting taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of operationsoperations. If the Company determines that are reflectedit would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the Company’s consolidated financial statements priorfuture in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the December 14, 2015 transaction aredeferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the amount of Sunalphatax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Non Income Taxes
The Company is subject to India Goods and are recordedServices Tax and other local duties and non-income taxes on its transactions in India. The Company collects such taxes from customers, and pays such taxes on applicable supplies and inputs, and remits the net amounts to the respective local tax authorities on an accrual basis.
Equity-method Investments
Through PRAMA, the Company has a 29.575% equity interest in PCW, a non-trading company formed to develop a potential hotel in Bengaluru, India. The Company exercises significant influence over PCW but does not control the investee and the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities. PCW is accounted for using the historical cost basis.equity method.
Equity investments are accounted for using the equity-method of accounting if the investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. The total of our investments in equity-method investees, including identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities and goodwill, is included within “Other noncurrent assets” on our consolidated financial statements after completionbalance sheets. Our share of the December 14, 2015 transactionearnings or losses as reported by equity-method investees, amortization of the related intangible assets, and related gains or losses, if any, are classified as “Equity-method investment activity, net of tax” on our consolidated statements of operations. Our share of the net income or loss of our equity-method investees may in the future include operating and non-operating gains and charges, which may have a significant impact on our reported equity-method investment activity and the assets, liabilitiescarrying value of those investments. We regularly evaluate these investments, which are not carried at fair value, for other-than-temporary impairment.
We record purchases, including incremental purchases, of shares in equity-method investees at cost. Reductions in our ownership percentage of an investee, including through dilution, are generally valued at fair value, with the difference between fair value and resultsour recorded cost reflected as a gain or loss in our equity-method investment activity. In the event we no longer have the ability to exercise significant influence over an equity-method investee, we would discontinue accounting for the investment under the equity method.
Included in Other Non Current Assets as of operations of Sunalpha upJune 30, 2019, is $346,074 relating to the day priorfair value of equity-method investments and $319,725 relating to the closingfair value of amounts due from equity-method investee, in aggregate $665,799.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
On April 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-2), as amended, which generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional, optional transition method with which to adopt the new leases standard. This additional transition method allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, rather than in the earliest period presented in the financial statements, as originally required by ASU 2016-2.
Adoption of the standard did not result in adjustment to our prior period Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations or Statements of Cash Flows. When we adopted ASU 2016-02, we applied the package of practical expedients allowed by the standard, and therefore, we did not reassess: a) Whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases under the new definition; b) The lease classification for any expired or existing leases; or c) Whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial direct costs.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. Early adoption is permitted.Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact to the Company's financial statements but does believes it isexpected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
No other recent accounting pronouncements were issued by FASB and the SEC that are believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

eCommerce Aggregator operating metrics
In evaluating our eCommerce Aggregator business, we use operating metrics, including gross bookings and revenue margin. Gross bookings are a measure of the total dollar volume of transactions that we process and is used by us to measure our scale and growth. We calculate revenue margin as revenue as a percentage of gross bookings.
Quarter ended June 30 | ||
2019 | 2018 | |
Gross Bookings1* | $15,042,550 | $13,720,529 |
Net revenues | $132,120 | $95,640 |
Gross Bookings Margin2* | 0.88% | 0.70% |
1*Gross bookings represent the total retail value of transactions booked through us, generally including taxes, fees and other charges, and are generally reduced for cancellations and refunds. Gross bookings differ from the Company’s net revenues, which reflect the revenue earned by the Company.
2*Gross bookings margin is defined as net revenues as a percentage of gross bookings.
The increase in furtherancegross bookings is driven primarily by increases in incentives, fees, penalty income, and surcharges paid by our service agent customers. The revenue margin increased quarter over quarter by approximately 18 basis points, due to increased margin from suppliers in our offerings.
Hospitality business overview
Hospitality trends and opportunities
The Indian travel and hospitality segment is highly fragmented, with attention focused on a handful of higher end luxury brands. There has been a dearth of branded hotel chains catering to mass segments, where demand is primarily driven by approximately 650 million young travelers aged between 24 and 35, keen to travel, enabled by higher disposable income and improved transport options. With changing times, the young travelers have created demand in India’s smaller towns and hence creating a need for predictable hotel experience with affordable pricing.
In a country where access to local information and knowledge is rarely available in an online, social media driven environment, hospitality sales channels have relied on offline distribution channels, principally word-of-mouth, print, radio, television and travel agent marketing.Given the ever-growing list of options available today in India, using the right number and mix of channels to deliver a relevant and engaging customer experience in an increasingly fragmented, and often chaotic distribution landscape is pivotal. As such, hotels can no longer be complacent, relying on previous sales and distribution channels. It is incumbent upon hoteliers to effectively leverage both direct and indirect channels as part of their sales and marketing strategy to stay competitive, optimize yields, drive sales and revenue.
Hospitality business overview
We look at the number of keys (available rooms), number of properties by brand and the number of cities as a measure of our growth strategies.
Given the transaction occurred on April 22, 2019, we believe that consistent period on period performance will not be meaningful for a period of time and accordingly will not present the above post acquisition performance measures until they are meaningful.
We earn base management fees and in certain cases incentive management fees from the properties that we manage. In November 2015,most markets, base management typically consist of a percentage of property-level revenue, while incentive management fees typically consist of a percentage of net profit, adjusted for certain contractually agreed items.
We remain focused on doing the things that we integrateddo well; that is, selling rooms, taking care of our guests, and making sure we control costs. We provide our guests new and memorable experiences through our portfolio of brands, innovative technology, and a focus on employee training to deliver a consistent customer experience. Our brands remain strong due to our skilled management teams, dedicated associates, superior guest service with an emphasis on guest and associate satisfaction, and desirable property amenities within the Indian Railway reservation system into our online platform using complex and scalable technology tools. Previously, we provided rail ticketing through a third party supplier. Becoming a principal agent has resulted in and willbudget price range.
We, along with property owners, continue to resultinvest in our brands by means of new, refreshed, and reinvented properties, new room and public space designs, and enhanced amenities, technology offerings, and guest experiences. We address, through various means, hotels in our system that do not meet our standards. We continue to enhance the appeal of our proprietary, information-rich, and easy-to-use websites, and of our associated mobile smartphone applications, through functionality and service improvements.
OUR STRATEGY
We believe that the fast-growing travel market in in India, coupled with rising disposable income in India drive a strategic opportunity. Our objective is to capture this growth through the following strategic initiatives:
· | Expand our hotels and packages offerings.Our hotels and packages offering generally yields higher margins than our air, rail ticketing and money transfer offerings, and we intend to increase this as part of the sales mix. In April 2019, we acquired PRAMA, which operates a budget hotel portfolio across India. We plan to increase the number of hotels, to increase captive demand, utilizing our last-mile-distribution network, by adopting new technologies, and a deep customer focus to create stronger brand loyalty and customer engagement experience. Our objective is to enable more hotel suppliers to be seamlessly connected to our platform with the latest technology methods which include direct connects, channel managers and direct integrations with various aggregators. We believe that we can increase our total number of transactions as internet penetration in India increases, by strengthening our distribution network, cross selling other products and service including vacation packages; |
· | Expand our service and product portfolio to enhance cross-selling opportunities. We believe that expanding our service and product offerings (i.e. Money transfer and Payment services) is an important means of customer acquisition as the diversity of our services and products will improve our offerings to customers, attract more customers to our platform and which allow us to cross sell higher-margin service; |
· | Enhance our service platforms by investing in technology.We intend to continue to invest in technology to enhance the features of our services and alignment of our platform and technology assets with business objectives which can improve visibility into business operation and profitability, ensure transparency for optimal service delivery, reducing cost, offer new services to customers, and to create efficiency across our businesses by enabling control of every transactions; and |
· | Pursue selective strategic partnerships and acquisitions.In addition to organic growth, we will pursue strategic partnerships and targeted acquisitions that complement our service offerings, strengthen or establish our presence, or to gain access to technology and building brands. |
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Acquisition of PRAMA
The acquisition of PRAMA on April 22, 2019, had a material impact on the results of operations, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Accordingly, the results for the period June 30, 2018, which do not include PRAMA are not comparable to the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, which do include the results of PRAMA, on a post-close basis. Equally, the PRAMA acquisition had a material impact on the liquidity and capital resources of the Company. The impact of the PRAMA acquisition on the post close results and the balance sheet is shown in the Company’s segmental disclosure. PRAMA’s results, scale and operations are significantly larger than the eCommerce Aggregator segment. Also, the effects of the PRAMA acquisition impacted every significant line item in the statements of operations and balance sheet.
The pro forma combined revenues and net loss before income taxes, for the combined entity, as though the acquisition of PRAMA had occurred on April 1, 2018, for the respective periods are shown in Note 1 of our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited).
The eCommerce Aggregator segment results improved but compared to the PRAMA acquisition did not have a meaningful impact on the results of the Company. The Company does not believe that presenting pro forma information for PRAMA, over and above what is disclosed in the segmental information above, would be meaningful at this time.

The primary drivers were decreases in air ticketing, bus ticketing, hotel bookingperiod, and vacation packages, offset by an increase in rail ticketing, payment services and in incentivesloss from our aggregators and suppliers. The deceases in net revenues result from a decrease in pricing to our end user travel agent customers as our focus continues to remain on acquiring market share through offering lower pricing than our competitors with a focus on generating gross bookings. As described under the heading “Operating Metrics,” gross bookings increased from $5,581,647 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 to $23,585,164 during the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

Changes in “Net Revenues”, “Cost of revenues and Other Operating Expenses”, “Gross Profit”, “Loss from Operations”, “Other Expenses, Net”, and “Net Loss” are wholly attributable to the purchase of PRAMA on air ticketing, low margin railApril 22, 2019, and bus ticketing, and payment services outpacing higher margin vacation packages and incentives. The Company has been focused on growing it’s market share by offering lower pricing than its competitors offer, which has resulted in a decline in it’s revenue margin.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting. In order to provide a reportevaluate the effectiveness of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2019. The ineffectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff:
(i) | inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; |
(ii) | lack of multiple levels of supervision and review; and |
(iii) | lack of adequate U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting knowledge to identify, account for and disclose financial reporting issues on a timely basis; and |
(iv) | an inability to report financial statements in a timely manner. |
We believe that the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial results. We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the current fiscal year, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management's Remediation Plan
The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible. However, we are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated as soon as possible. We continue to implement our remediation plan for the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described in Part II, Item 9A of our 2019 Form 10-K, which includes steps to increase dedicated personnel, improve reporting processes, and enhance related supporting technology.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.
Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our financial statements for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of the time needed to implement these steps and test the applicable controls in operation, management does not anticipate that the material weaknesses will be fully remediated by March 31, 2020.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
