Report of Independent Auditors
To the Stockholders meeting and Board of Directors:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flow present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Venta de Boletos por Computadora, S. A. de C. V. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flow for the year then ended in conformity with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The consolidated financial statements referred to above have been presented in conformity with the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards which vary in certain significant respects from Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (United States). Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Basis of preparation:
Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2016 and 2015, fairly meet the provisions of the MFRS to show a fair presentation of the Company's financial position. MFRS state that the International Financial Reporting Standards, the International Accounting Standards (IAS), the International Financial Reporting Interpretations and the Interpretation Committee are a supplementary part of the MFRS when the absence of the MFRS requires it. Accordingly, the Company with the purpose of recognizing, valuing and disclosing its own particular transactions, applies the IAS-18 “Revenue”, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. (See Note 3p.).
MFRS effective from January 1, 2016
As of January 1, 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted the following improvements to MFRS, issued by Consejo Mexicano de Normas de Información Financiera (CINIF), which became effective as of the aforementioned date. It is considered that no relevant effects over the financial information presented by the Company arise from such improvements to MFRS.
Improvements to MFRS 2016
MFRS C-1 “Cash and cash equivalents”. Establishes that both the initial and subsequent recognition of cash must be valued at fair value; states that cash equivalents are held to meet short-term obligations and changes the term “available-for-sale investments” to “high liquidity financial instruments”, which should not exceed three months and for their valuation the relevant financial instruments MFRS should be applied.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bulletin C-2 “Financial instruments, adjustments document”. Removes the concept of available-for-sale financial assets and adds the concept of available-for-sale financial instrument. Includes the characteristics that a financial instrument must comply to be classified as held to maturity. The concept and definition of “transaction costs” are included. States that fair value adjustments related to financial instruments must be recognized affecting the net profit or loss of the period or, where appropriate, recognizing an item in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Bulletin C-9 “Liabilities, provisions, contingent assets and liabilities and commitments”. The concept of “transaction costs” is included, establishing that are those incurred to produce a financial asset or through which a financial liability is assumed, that would have not been incurred if such financial asset or liability had not been recognized.
MFRS B-10 “Inflation Effects”. Clarifies that the valuation effect of some financials assets is recognized in OCI instead of being recognized in the outcome for monetary position.
MFRS C-7 “Investment in associates, joint ventures and other permanent investments”. Specifies that contributions in kind made by a holding or joint venture must be recognized at fair value unless they are consequence of a debt capitalization.
Financial statement authorization
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and their notes were authorized to be issued on March 3, 2017 by George Gonzalez and Jorge López de Cárdenas Ramírez, who have legal authorization to approve the financial statements and their notes except for the Note 18 which was authorized for its issuance on June 16, 2017.
Note 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies:
Most significant accounting policies are summarized as follows, which have been consistently applied in the reporting years, unless otherwise indicated.
The MFRS require the use of some critical accounting estimates in the preparation of the financial statements. Management judgment is also required in the process of determining the Company’s accounting policies. The areas including a higher degree of judgment or complexity and those where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated statements are described in Note 4.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control to direct their relevant activities, has the right (and is exposed) to variable returns from its share and has the ability to affect those returns through its power. In assessing whether the Company controls an entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible were considered. The existence of control in cases where the Company has no more than 50% of voting rights but it may decide the financial and operating policies is also assessed.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Subsidiaries are consolidated as of the date they are controlled by the Company and are no longer consolidated when the control is lost.
Transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated. The accounting policies applied by subsidiaries have been amended to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Company, where necessary.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the periods ended on those dates were used.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the figures of VBC and its subsidiaries, as mentioned below:
|
| | |
| Parent percentage share | |
Company | 2016 and 2015 | Main activity |
| | |
Servicios Especializados para la Venta Automatizada de Boletos, S. A. de C. V. | 100 | Rendering of administrative, technical, technological and marketing services. |
ETK Boletos, S. A. de C. V. (ETK) | 72.5 | Automated sales of tickets. |
Transactions with non-controlling shareholders
The Company recognizes transactions with non-controlling shareholders as transactions between shareholders. When a non-controlling interest is acquired, the difference between any consideration paid and the share of the subsidiary acquired measured at their carrying amount is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposal of a share in a subsidiary that does not involve the loss of control by the Company are also recognized in equity.
| |
b. | Recording, functional and presentation currency |
Items included in the financial statements of each of these entities are measured at the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate, i.e., its “functional currency”. The consolidated financial statements are presented in (Mexican pesos), which is the Company’s presentation currency.
| |
c. | Effects of inflation on the financial information |
According to the provisions of MFRS B-10 “Inflation Effects”, as of January 1, 2008, the Mexican economy is not an inflationary environment, since cumulative inflation has been below 26% (limit to define an economy as inflationary) therefore, it has been required to discontinue the recognition of the inflation effects in the financial information. Accordingly, the figures of the accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are stated in historical Mexican pesos modified by the inflation effects on the financial information recognized up to December 31, 2007.

Advance payments represent such expenditures made by the Company where the risks and benefits inherent to the goods to be acquired or services to be received have not been transferred. Advance payments are recorded at their cost and presented in the statement of the financial position as current or non-current assets, depending on the destination item. Once the goods and/or services related to advance payments are received, they should be recognized as an expense in the income statement or an asset in the statement of financial position (balance sheet), according to the respective nature. Advance payments in foreign currencies are recognized at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, without modification by subsequent fluctuations between the currencies.
| |
g. | Furniture and equipment |
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, furniture and equipment are expressed as follows: i) acquisitions subsequent to January 1, 2008, at their historical cost and ii) acquisitions until December 31, 2007 at their restated value determined by applying National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) factors to their acquisition values until December 31, 2007.
Depreciation is calculated by the straight line method based on the useful lives of the assets estimated by the Company’s management applied to the furniture and equipment values. (See Note 9).
Furniture and equipment are subject to annual impairment testing only when impairment indicators are identified. Accordingly, these are expressed at their modified historical cost, less cumulative depreciation and, in its case, impairment losses. As of December 31 2016 and 2015 there has been no indication of impairment.

When payment is expected in a period of one year or less from the closing date (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if this cycle exceeds this period), they are presented as current liabilities. If the above is not met, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Accounts payable from ticket sales mainly comprise the balance payable to companies promoting future events.
| |
j. | Current and deferred income tax |
Current and deferred tax is recognized as an expense in the period income, except when arising from a transaction or event that is recognized outside the period income as other comprehensive income or an item directly recognized in stockholders' equity.
The deferred income tax is recorded based on the comprehensive asset-and-liability method, which consists of recognizing deferred tax on all temporary differences between the accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities to be materialized in the future, at rates enacted in the tax provisions in force at financial statements dates. (See Note 14).

The capital stock, the share premium and retained earnings are expressed as follows: i) movements made as of January 1, 2008 at historical cost, and ii) movements made before January 1, 2008 at restated values determined by applying NCPI factors up to December 31, 2007 to their originally determined values (See Note 11). Consequently, the different stockholders’ equity concepts are expressed at modified historical cost.
The share premium represents the difference in surplus between the payment for subscribed shares and their nominal value.
| |
m. | Other comprehensive income |
The OCI is composed of the result from translation of foreign operations, the change in fair value of cash flow hedges, interest in the OCI of associates as well as income taxes related to the OCI. The OCI represents revenue, costs and expenses already accrued but still pending completion, which is expected in the medium term and whose value may change due to changes in the fair value of assets or liabilities from which they arise, which means that they may not be realized in part or in full. The OCI is recycled when this is realized and is recognized as a separate component in stockholders' equity in order to be recognized in net consolidated income in the period in which the asset or liability that gave rise to them is realized. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 there are no items in the OCI.
The comprehensive income comprises the net income, as well as items required under specific MFRS provisions, which are shown in stockholders’ equity and do not constitute equity payments, reductions and distributions. Comprehensive income for 2016 and 2015 is expressed at historical pesos.
| |
o. | Costs, expenses and additional line items presentation in the statement of income |
The Company presents costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of income based on the function of items, which mainly separates the costs of services from other costs and expenses. Additionally, for a better analysis of its financial position, the Company has considered necessary to present the operating profit separately in the statement of income, as such information is a disclosure practice in the sector to which the Company belongs.
Revenue from commissions on ticket sales are recognized when the tickets are sold and the commission represents a percentage of the ticket value. VBC and ETK deliver the value of tickets sold to the venue at which the event took place, within two business days after the event is finished. The amount of tickets sold in advance is recognized as a liability in favor to the venue where the event will take place.

Revenue from the provision of marketing services involving incoming and outgoing calls, tickets sales and commercialization of databases are recognized as they are rendered, and a) the revenue amount incurred is reliably determined, and b) the Company is likely to receive economic benefits associated to the provision for the services.
| |
q. | Other income allowances |
The allowance for bad debts is recognized based on studies made by Company’s Management and is considered sufficient to absorb losses in accordance with the policies established by the Company.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the recording currency applying the exchange rate prevailing on the dates they are entered into and/or settled. Assets and liabilities denominated in such currency are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the statement of financial position date. Exchange gain or loss differences arising from fluctuations in the exchange rates between the transaction and settlement dates, or valuation at the period closing are recognized in income as a component of the Comprehensive Financing Result (CFR), with exception of those exchange differences that, as a part of the cost of eligible assets, are capitalized with other components of CFR.
| |
s. | Reclassifications in the financial statements |
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 consolidated financial statements to conform the 2016 presentation. These reclassifications did not have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements presented.
Note 4 - Accounting estimates:
The Company makes estimates and projections about future events to recognize and measure certain financial statement items. The resulting recognized accounting estimates may differ from actual results or events. The estimates and projections that have a significant risk of material adjustments in the assets and liabilities recognized during the following year are described below.
The Company is subject to pay income tax. Significant judgments are required to recognize the current and deferred income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which an accurate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes a liability for those matters observed during tax audits that are considered likely to result in the determination of tax additional to that originally incurred. When the result of these processes is different from the estimated liability, the differences are recognized under deferred and/or current income tax.

In the event of an official review, the tax authorities could consider that the above-mentioned prices are not in line with the provisions of the Law, in which case, aside from restatement and surcharges, the tax authorities could impose fines of up to 100% of any omitted taxes.
| |
b. | The Company regularly contract the services of specialists in areas such as security, cleaning, access control, production, assembling and other similar services required to conduct its business activities, and it perform multiple agreements with third parties who agreeing to develop activities to the Company. Under the provisions of the labor legislation and recent amendments thereto on the subject of social security, some of the subcontractors or workers of these service providers may take steps in order for the Company to be considered the beneficiary of those services or liable for possible related contingencies. |
The Company has entered into agreements where set up that there are no work relationship between subcontractors and/or employees of these service providers or third parties and the Company, and in those agreements the service providers, are committed (guaranteeing in most times) to hold the Company harmless or to provide an indemnity for any liability imposed, thereby in accordance with Company's labor advisors, is not necessary to reserve amounts to address these actions which they are the responsibility of third parties.
| |
c. | The Company is regularly called by the Federal Attorney's Office of Consumer (PROFECO) when consumers of their services do not consider that the conditions offered are met and complain into this office. Sometimes the PROFECO has imposed fines for alleged violations of administrative procedures or to the related law. At the date of issuance of the financial statements, there are conciliatory proceedings into the PROFECO. To date, the Company has not suffered any damages from those complaints and in litigation of those complaints, the resolutions imposed have been settled, therefore, in the opinion of the Company advisors, these matters do not represent a material contingency, and it is very unlikely that any of those amounts will be payable, or where appropriate, that the above criteria under which the Company was never condemned to these causes could be opposite. |
| |
d. | On July 24, 2012, the Procedures General Department of PROFECO issued a sanction to VBC for an alleged violation of article 10 of the Consumer Protection Law, as it considers that marketing and sale of the service denominated “La Guía” is an unfair practice for consumers, and therefore imposed a Ps1,690 fine and instructed the Company to stop marketing “La Guía” as it has so far. A motion for review was filed against said resolution, and on October 25, 2012, the Procedures General Department declared the company's grievances unfounded. |
In light of the foregoing, on January 21, 2013, VBC filed an annulment motion against the resolution that confirmed the sanction and the eighth Regional Metropolitan Chamber of the Federal Tax and Administrative Court received the motion for annulment and declared the validity of the ruling questioned.
VBC then filed a motion for review on January 10, 2014, as a result of which the tenth Collegiate Court for Administrative Matters of the First Circuit granted the appeal to VBC on November 21, 2014 and declared invalidity the contested decision due to inconsistencies by the authorities in the procedure for the determination of the penalty, but without ruling on the merits.

However, in order to obtain a ruling on the merits, a motion for direct protection was filed requesting the Federal Court to consider the legality of the actions of VBC. On July 1, 2015, the Second Collegiate Court declared the nullity of the contested decision in considering that the fine imposed on VBC was unduly founded and motivated. VBC filed a direct motion in order to obtain the authority's pronouncement that the manner of commercialization of "La Guía" does not violate the provisions of the Federal Consumer Protection Law.
Due to the above, PROFECO issued a new resolution issuing a fine for the amount of Ps750 which was challenged on September 12, 2016, through a new annulment motion interposed in the Regional Metropolitan Chamber of the Federal Tax and Administrative Court. At the date of the financial statements, the Company is awaiting the resolution of said interposed trial, in respect of which the external advisors consider that there is high probability that the Company will be exempt from any penalty and that legality of its actions will be confirmed.
On intellectual property and copyright
| |
a. | VBC filed a request for an administrative declaration of the violations on trade matter committed by Wal-Mart de México, S. A. B. de C. V. (Wal-Mart) related to improper use of “La Guía del Entretenimiento” copyrights, into the newspaper publications and guide section, where its counterclaim Wal-Mart requested that VBC’s copyrights be declared invalid. |
The National Institute of Copyright (INDAUTOR) determined as a legal the VBC action and denied the counterclaim of Wal-Mart, a decision that was challenged by Wal-Mart before the Federal Court of Fiscal and Administrative Justice, who dated September 13 2012, ruled in favor of VBC, recognizing the validity of the resolution issued by the INDAUTOR, that confirmed that the reservation of rights to the exclusive use of the title “La Guía del Entretenimiento” was properly executed. Not satisfied with that resolution Wal-Mart filed a request for direct legal protection against that judgment, and on May 7, 2013, VBC answered as third party injured in the defense protection motion. On March 3, 2014, VBC offered additional evidence. On October 6, 2014 the authority issued a statement denying support and protection to Wal-Mart. On October 20, 2014 the judgment became final, without prejudice to the decision that denies the nullity of the reservation of law on “La Guía del Entretenimiento”.
On May 28, 2015, the Mexican Industrial Property Institute (IMPI) declares the violation on trade matter under section VIII of Article 231 of the Federal Law of Copyright, for Wal-Mart, and imposed a fine of 5,000 salary days in effect at March 2009. On August 24, 2015, Wal-Mart promoted a nullification lawsuit against this resolution. VBC has lodged statements as a third party in that proceeding for annulment.
On June 30, 2016, the Federal Court issued a judgment recognizing the authority of the IMPI's resolution, which on August 23, 2016, Wal-Mart filed again a motion for protection against that judgment. On September 20, 2016, VBC promoted an adhesive motion to the judgement that recognize the resolution of the IMPI. In the opinion of the external advisors, the Tax Court will confirm the violation on trade matter, which at the date of the financial statements is pending of resolution.

b. | On April 14, 2015 VBC delivered to PROFECO the complaint made by Candy Ivette Santa Rita Luna for the fraudulent sale of five tickets made by Luis Fernando Gonzalez Paredes, who figured as Ticketmaster employee, for the musical show called “La Gira del Adiós” of Vicente Fernández on December 28, 2014 at the Convention Center and Charrería Palenque Texcoco. In order to clarify the responsibility of the company and to provide defense evidence against PROFECO, the facts were reported to the authority in Iztacalco, Mexico City. |
| |
c. | The Central Prosecutor for Financial Crimes, requested information to VBC, regarding tickets sale for several events promoted by Promoshow Peninsular, S. A. de C. V. in connection with the complaint presented by the fraud offense against this company. At the date of the financial statements, information has been provided to the Public Prosecutor’s Office to protect VBC from intervention or responsibility for the reported events. |
| |
d. | On September 27, 2016 VBC filed a facts complaint before the Iztacalco District authority in order to retreat VBC of any liability derived from the tickets sold on the Facebook page "TopLive" for some events promoted by VBC and some of them sponsored by related parties, which were carried out in October and November 2016. |
Note 17 - New accounting pronouncements:
The following describes a series of MFRS and improvements of them issued by CINIF during December 2013, 2014 and 2015, which will take effect in those years which are indicated. Those MFRS and improvements are not considered to have a significant effect in the financial information to be presented by the Company.
2018
MFRS B-17 “Fair value Determination”. It establishes the guidelines for the fair value determination and the related disclosures. It mentions that fair value determination should use assumptions that market participants would use to fix an asset or liability price in current market conditions on a given date, including risk-related assumptions. It must be considered if the particular asset or liability being valued is a monetary item, if it is used together with other assets or in an independent basis, the market where it is traded and the appropriate valuation techniques for the fair value determination. It is also established that the use of observable and relevant input data should be maximized and the use of unobservable input data should be minimized.
MFRS C-2 "Investment in financial instruments". Establishes the valuation, presentation and disclosure standards of the investment in financial instruments. It discards the concept of intention of acquisition and use of an investment in a debt or equity financial instrument to determine its classification and removes the categories of instruments held to maturity and available for sale. It adopts the concept of management's business model of investments in financial instruments.
MFRS C-3 "Accounts receivable” Establishes the valuation, presentation and disclosure standards for the initial and subsequent recognition of trade receivables and other receivables in the financial statements of an economic entity. Specifies that the accounts receivable based on a contract represent a financial instrument.
MFRS C-9 “Provisions, contingencies and commitments”.

MFRS C-16 “Impairment of receivable financial instruments”. Establishes the valuation, accounting recognition, presentation and disclosure standards of impairment losses of receivable financial instruments.
MFRS C-19 “Payable financial instruments”. Establishes the valuation, presentation and disclosure standards for the initial and subsequent recognition of accounts payable, borrowings and other financial liabilities in the financial statements of an economic entity. The concepts of amortized cost to value financial liabilities and the effective interest rate method, based on the effective interest rate, to make such valuation are introduced. Both discounts and costs of issuance of a financial liability are deducted from the liability.
MFRS C-20 “Receivable financial instruments”. Establishes the valuation, presentation and disclosure standards for the initial and subsequent recognition of receivable financing instruments in the financial statements of an economic entity that carries out financing activities.

MFRS D-2 “Costs for client contracts”. Establishes the valuation, presentation and disclosure standards of costs arising from client contracts. Establishes the regulation related to the recognition of costs of client contracts, it also includes the accounting treatment of costs related to contracts for construction and manufacturing of capital goods, including costs related to client contracts. This MFRS, together with MFRS D-1, “Revenue for client contracts”, revokes Bulletin D-7, “Contracts for construction and manufacturing of some capital goods” and IFRIC 14, “Contracts for construction, sale and delivery of services related to real estate”.*

MFRS C-11 “Stockholders’ equity”. Establishes that registration costs in a stock exchange that at the date of such registration were already owned by investors and by which the issuer had already received the corresponding funds should be recognized by the entity in net profit or loss at the time of their accrual, and not in stockholders' equity since they are not considered to be related to an equity transaction of the entity. Additionally, any profit or loss on the acquisition, relocation, issuance or cancelation of entity's shares should be recognized in the comprehensive income statement.
Note 18 - Summary of significant differences between MFRS and U.S. Generally Accounting Accepted Principles (GAAP):
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with MFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. (U.S. GAAP). Such differences involve methods of measuring certain amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Pursuant to Item 15 of Form 10K, this reconciliation does not include the disclosure of all information that would be required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC.
| |
I. | Differences in measurement methods |
| |
a. | The figures of non-monetary line items at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are stated in historical Mexican pesos modified by the inflation effects up to December 31, 2007. Starting January 1, 2008, according to the provisions of MFRS B-10 “Inflation Effects”, the Company discontinued the recognition of inflation accounting as the Mexican economy is not an inflationary environment, since cumulative inflation has been below 26% (limit to define an economy as inflationary under MFRS). Under U.S. GAAP effects of inflation recognized under MFRS up to 2007 might not be recognized. The reconciliation does not include the reversal of the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements for the effects of inflation, because, as permitted by the SEC, it represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price-level changes in the Mexican economy, and as such, is considered a more meaningful presentation than historical cost-based financial reporting for U.S. GAAP. |
| |
b. | The Company provides financing to related parties, for which interest is determined by using the nominal interest rate. In accordance with ASC 470 “Debt” the borrower’s periodic interest cost shall be determined by using the effective interest method considering in the determination of interest, the debt issuance costs, discounts and premium throughout the outstanding term of the loan using a constant interest rate. |
The Company quantified the effects of the differences in the measurement methods explained above, and determined that the impact to the consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP derived from those differences was not significant neither to the statement of financial position (balance sheet), net income nor the stockholders’ equity; therefore a reconciliation of the balance sheet, net income and stockholders' equity from MFRS to U.S. GAAP is not presented for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
| |
II. | Additional accounting policies under U.S. GAAP and reclassifications |
Subsidiaries
The Company uses the acquisition method to recognize the business acquisitions. The consideration of the acquisition of a subsidiary is determined based on the fair value of the net transferred assets, the assumed liabilities and the share capital issued by the Company. The acquisition consideration also includes the fair value of such contingent amounts receivable or payable as part of the agreement.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses when incurred. Identifiable acquired assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest in the acquiree is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date.
The excess of the consideration paid and the non-controlling interest in the acquiree equity over the fair value of the Company's share in the net identifiable assets of the acquired entity is recognized as goodwill. If such comparison results in a negative amount, as in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized reducing the acquired non-current assets.
Transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated. The accounting policies for subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Company, in cases where it was necessary.
The consolidation was carried out by using the financial statements of its subsidiaries.
Recording, functional and reporting currency
The recording, functional and reporting currencies of the Company, its subsidiaries and associates is the Mexican peso, therefore, no translation process was necessary.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 consolidated financial statements to conform the 2016 presentation. There is no impact to the consolidated financial statements.
| |
b. | Impairment of accounts receivables for ticket sales |
The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Generally, it records specific allowances to reduce the amounts of the receivables recorded when a customer’s account matures beyond typical collection patterns, or the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations.
The Company believes that the credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the significant diversification of its customers.
| |
c. | Furniture and equipment - Impairment |
The Company performs tests for possible impairment of furniture and equipment whenever events or circumstances change, such as a current period operating cash flow loss combined with a history of, or projected, operating cash flow losses or a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is intended to be used, which may indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If indicators exist, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the assets is compared with the carrying amount of those assets. If the carrying value is greater than the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the cost basis of the asset is reduced to reflect its current fair value.
The Company uses various assumptions in determining the current fair market value of these assets, including future expected cash flows and discount rates and other fair value measures. Impairment loss calculations requires management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows, including forecasting useful lives of the assets and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions and judgments used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, the Company may be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material to our results of operations.
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost at date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Computer and peripheral equipment - 3 years
Furniture and equipment - 10 years
Transportation equipment - 4 years
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the economic life or associated lease term assuming the Company exercises renewal periods, if appropriate. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, whereas expenditures for asset renewal and improvements are capitalized.
Definite-lived: are those which expected future economic benefits is limited by any legal or economic condition and are amortized on a straight line basis, based on the best estimate of their useful life and are subject to annual impairment testing when impairment indicators are identified.
Indefinite-lived assets. Depending on facts and circumstances, qualitative factors may first be assessed to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If it is concluded that it is more likely than not impaired, then the Company performs a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount.
The Company tests for possible impairment of definite-lived intangible assets whenever events or circumstances change, such as a current period operating cash flow loss combined with a history of, or projected, operating cash flow losses or a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is intended to be used, which may indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. When specific assets are determined to be unrecoverable, the cost basis of the asset is reduced to reflect the current fair value.
The Company test for possible impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets on at least an annual basis. Based on facts and circumstances, the Company performs either a qualitative or a quantitative assessment for impairment. If a qualitative assessment is performed, and the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the Company performs the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. When specific assets are determined to be impaired, the cost basis of the asset is reduced to reflect the current fair value.
The Company uses various assumptions in determining the current fair market value of these definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including future expected cash flows and discount rates, as well as other fair value measures. Our impairment loss calculations require us to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows, including forecasting useful lives of the assets and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.
If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, the Company may be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material to our results of operations.

e. | Ticketing contract advances |
Ticketing contract advances, represent amounts paid in advance to the Company’s clients pursuant to ticketing agreements, which are reflected as intangible assets with definite-life if the amount is expected to be recouped or recognized over a period of more than 12 months. Recoupable ticketing contract advances are generally recoupable against future royalties earned by the clients, based on the contract terms, over the life of the contract. Ticketing contract advances, are fixed additional incentives paid by the Company to secure exclusive rights with certain clients and are normally amortized over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis. Amortization of these ticketing contract advances is included in the statements of income.
| |
a. | Revenue from commissions on ticket sales |
Revenue from ticketing operations primarily consists of convenience and order processing fees charged at the time a ticket for an event is sold and is recorded on a net basis (net of the face value of the ticket). The Company delivers the face value of the tickets sold to the venue at which the event took place within two working days after the event occurs.
| |
b. | Revenue recognition for services |
The revenues from marketing services, commercialization of databases and other services are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
III. Additional disclosure requirements
| |
a. | Fair value measurements disclosures |
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as 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. Effective January 2010, the Company adopted new accounting guidance under ASC 820 that requires additional disclosures including, among other things, (i) the amounts and reasons for certain significant transfers among the three hierarchy levels of inputs, (ii) the gross, rather than net, basis for certain level 3 roll forward information, (iii) use of a “class” rather than a “major category” basis for assets and liabilities, and (iv) valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate level 2 and level 3 fair value measurements.
In addition, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following instruments were recognized at fair value using the aforementioned hierarchy (mainly level 1):
Cash and cash equivalents: consist of cash in hand and money market funds. Fair values for cash equivalents are based on quoted prices in an active market.
Account receivables and account payables: The book value of the account receivables and accounts payables is similar to their fair value and corresponds to current account receivables and current accounts payable.

Indefinite-lived intangibles
The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets which consist primarily to trade names and non-compete agreements. These indefinite-lived intangible assets had a carrying value of Ps7,500 December 31, 2015.
Management signed a non-compete agreement with the owners of the non-controlling interest; the contract will be effective only if the non-controlling interest determines to sell their ownership of the Company. Since Management did not have elements to determine when the contract will be effective, the non-compete agreement was considered as an indefinite-lived intangible asset up to 2015, since 2016 this agreement is considered as definitive-lived intangible asset, see Notes 3h and 10.
The Company tests for possible impairment of definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets on at least an annual basis. There was no impairment charge on these assets recorded for the year ended December 31 2016 and 2015.
Gross versus net presentation of revenue
The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction. To the extent the Company acts as the principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company has the substantial risks and rewards of ownership under the terms of an arrangement. The Company’s revenue, which primarily consists of convenience charges and order processing fees from its ticketing operations, is recorded net of the face value of the ticket as the Company generally acts as an agent in these transactions. These reclassifications do not affect the operating income. Revenue associated with fees charged to clients to cover bank commissions for the use of credit cards are presented on a gross basis.
A reclassification is considered in the analysis below to present costs of bank commissions net of the relating revenue:

(1) | Bank commissions paid for the sale of tickets with credit cards are recovered as part of the price of the services. Amounts paid are recognized within the Cost of Services and amounts charged to clients for this concept are recognized as revenue on a gross basis. The reclassification is to present the amount paid for bank commissions net of the amounts recognized for credit card recovery. |
