NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
NightCulture, Inc. (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company operates in the event promotion business.
The Company was originally incorporated as Texxon, Inc. on October 6, 1998, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. From inception until 2011, the Company pursued various business plans under multiple names, made an acquisition pursuant to a share exchange and carried out multiple reverse stock splits. From March 2009 until July 31, 2011, the Company operated under the name XXX Acquisition Corp and conducted no operations other than seeking a business to acquire. Since completion of an exchange in July 2011, the Company has been engaged in the event promotion business. In August 2011, the Company changed its name to NightCulture, Inc. and carried out an 8-for-1 forward stock split. In May 2012, the Company acquired Stereo Live, a related event venue operator, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. In September 2012, the Company acquired the assets of Full Access, an event promotion operator in Dallas, Texas.
On January 30, 2016 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary Stereo Live Dallas, LLC. The Company was formed for the purpose of leasing a venue in Dallas, TX. The subsidiary is consolidated into the financials of the parent NightCulture, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end December 31, 2015 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has negative working capital of $4,501,437 and an accumulated deficit of $9,838,834 as of June 30, 2016. The Company's ability to generate net income and positive cash flows is dependent on the ability to grow its operations as well as the ability to raise additional capital. Management is following strategic plans to accomplish these objectives, but success is not guaranteed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
During 2012 the Company issued instruments that require liability classification under ASC 815. These instruments are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.
As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – | | Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. |
| | |
Level 2 – | | Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars. |
| | |
Level 3 – | | Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value. |
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
Recurring Fair Value Measures | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

Overview
Our principal line of business is promoting and producing, and selling merchandise at, live concerts and festivals, primarily in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) genre and, since May 2012, hosting entertainment events at our Stereo Live venue. Since 2009, we have promoted and/or produced in excess of 600 live concerts. To date, we have organized events principally in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Oklahoma City and Dallas.
Our revenues are principally derived from ticket sales to events that we promote and produce for which we typically receive a negotiated percentage of the ticket revenues. We typically act as agent for acts and recognize only our net share of revenues from ticket sales. In situations where we act as principal in promoting an event and take on the risks and rewards of such event we will recognize the gross revenues from ticket sales. We may also derive additional revenues associated with events that we promote and produce, including negotiated portions of revenues from merchandising, concessions and promotional opportunities.
We also derive revenues from venue rentals, beverage sales and other related fees and charges derived from operation of our Stereo Live venue.
We produce two music festivals per year, Something Wicked, a Halloween themed music festival in Houston, TX with attendance over 40,000 in 2014 and Something Wonderful, a spring themed music festival in Dallas, TX made its debut in 2015 with over 15,000 in attendance.
Our principal costs of generating revenues are direct costs associated with promotion and production of events, including, but not limited to, venue costs, advertising, ticketing agency costs and costs of event support personnel. With our acquisition of Stereo Live, our principal costs also include costs of beverage sales, venue lease expense and venue operating personnel.
Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $2,325,139 and $3,790,138, compared to $$2,295,735 and $3,465,819 for the same period in 2015. The increase in revenues was attributable to an increase in the number of events produced during 2016.
Direct Costs
Direct costs were $1,983,506 and $2,718,565 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1,740,448 and $2,426,779 for the same period in 2015. As a percentage of revenues, direct costs for the six months periods ended June 30, 2016 were 72% compared to 70% for the same period in 2015. The change in direct cost as a percentage of sales was due to opening of a new venue in 2016.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $658,646 and $1,196,510 compared to $446,853 and $1,008,294 for the same period in 2015. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three and six month period was attributable to increased venues, and increased show and other investments to support our planned growth initiatives.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense incurred in the three and six month period ended June 30, 2016 was $39,026 and $78,232 compared to $27,441 and $54,885 for the same periods in 2015. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months was attributable to added assets purchased and leased during 2016 which were depreciated over the six months in 2016 versus 2015.
Other Income
Other income consists principally of interest expense and gain on changes in the value of derivative liability associated with outstanding warrants and convertible debt. Other income totaled of $41,633 and $44,267 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2016 versus other expense of $428,717 and other income of $472,869 for the three and six months period in 2015. The change was mainly attributable to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
Net Income
The Company incurred a net loss of $314,406 and $158,902 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to net loss of $347,724 and net income of $448,730 for the periods in 2015. The fluctuation of derivative liability was the major contribution to the variations in the net income between periods.
Financial Condition
Cash, Cash Flows and Working Capital
At June 30, 2016, we had current assets of $252,395, current liabilities of $4,753,832 and a working capital deficit of $4,501,437 compared to current assets of $55,172 and current liabilities of $4,220,275 and a working capital deficit of $4,165,103 at December 31, 2015. Included in current liabilities and the working capital deficit for each period was our derivative liability which was $1,005,429 as of December 31, 2015 compared to $908,070 as of June 30, 2016, accounting for $97,359 of the decrease in current liabilities and working capital deficit.
Net cash provided in operations for the six months ending June 30, 2016 was $73,007 compared to net cash provided of $56,427 for the same periods in 2015. The increase in cash provided in operations was principally attributable to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expense.
Net cash used in investing activities for the period ending June 30, 2016 was $169,218 compared to zero for the same period in 2015. The increase was mainly due to the purchase of fixed asset during the six months ended June 30, 2016 while there were no investing activities for the same periods in 2015.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $211,271 compared to net cash used of $6,345 for the same period in 2015. The financing activities included repayments of related party's advances of $1,190, repayment of debt for $143,766, offset by working capital loan of $375,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to advances from related parties of $50,000 and repayment of loan payable and lease obligations of $56,345 for the same period in 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal requirement for capital is to fund our operating deficits and growth initiatives and satisfy our contractual obligations and outstanding debt and payables.
We believe that we will be required to either improve profitability and operating cash flow or to borrow additional funds or otherwise secure additional financing, or both, to support our operations during the balance of 2016 and beyond. Except as described below regarding our equity line of credit, we do not presently have any commitments to provide financing, if needed, to support our operations.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of June 30, 2016 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2016. Such conclusion reflects the identification of material weakness as follows: (1) lack of accounting proficiency of our chief executive officer who is our sole officer and our principal accounting officer which has resulted in a reliance on part-time outside consultants to perform substantially all of our accounting functions, (2) a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function, and (3) lack of control procedures that include multiple levels of review. Until we are able to remedy these material weaknesses, we have engaged third party consultants and accounting firm to assist with financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
