Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Latitude 360, Inc., (“Latitude”, or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation and was formed on August 22, 2006 as Kingdom Koncrete, Inc. The Company operates restaurant/entertainment complexes within the United States.
On May 30, 2014 the Company completed its acquisition of Latitude 360, Inc., a Florida corporation (“L360”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) dated April 8, 2014, among the Company, Latitude Global Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and L360. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 30, 2014, Merger Sub merged with and into L360, and L360 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Company changed its name to Latitude 360, Inc. on June 2, 2014.
At the effective date of the Merger, the Company had 5,721,900 shares outstanding and issued an aggregate of 114,070,828 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Merger Shares”) to the shareholders of L360 as consideration for the 68,278,434 common shares of L360. The Merger Shares represent approximately 98.9% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction was regarded as a reverse merger whereby L360 is considered to be the accounting acquirer and is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes.
2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred significant losses from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, and as of June 30, 2015 has a retained deficit of $174,628,145. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has a working capital deficit of $88,105,182. Notes payable and bank debt with a face value of $15,270,131 was in default, as of June 30, 2015. Capital lease obligations of $20,988,280 were in default as of June 30, 2015. The Company is delinquent in the payment and filing of certain of its 2013, 2014 and 2015 payroll tax liabilities with the Internal Revenue Services and other state and local taxing authorizes. As of June 30, 2015, unpaid payroll taxes total approximately $4,870,462 and related penalties and interest total approximately $821,428. These liabilities have been recorded within accrued expenses on the balance sheet at June 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, unpaid payroll taxes total approximately $2,981,085 and related penalties and interest total approximately $160,927. These liabilities have been recorded within accrued expenses on the balance sheet at December 31, 2014.The Company has hired a consultant to assist in the completion of the filings and expects to have an agreement in place to pay these amounts as soon as possible. Based on the results of a review of these tax filings, the Company may be subject to additional interest and penalties by the taxing authorities if such amounts are not forthcoming.
The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to pay its obligations when they become due is contingent upon obtaining additional financing and generating positive cash flows from its operations. Management’s plans include seeking to procure additional funds through debt and equity financings and to increase operating cash flows from revenues expected to be generated from the operation of new venues.
The company has been actively seeking a combination of funding and is currently in discussions with several potential financing sources in regards to raising equity, bridge funding, balance sheet funding and/or equipment financing that management believes that, if obtained, will ultimately improve the Company's liquidity and provide the capital necessary to fund the Company’s growth plans.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, or that cash flow generated from its venues will be sufficient to meet its current operating costs and required debt service. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development, which could harm its financial condition and operating results, or it may not be able to continue to fund its ongoing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding unaudited interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statement of Operations and Cash Flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year due to seasonal and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.
Segment Information
The FASB has established standards for reporting information on operating segments of an enterprise in interim and annual financial statements. The Company operates in one segment which is the business of operating restaurant entertainment venues. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker reviews the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and also affect the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each period. Actual results could differ from those which result from using such estimates. Management utilizes various estimates, including but not limited to recording revenues under its contracts, assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the valuation of securities underlying stock based compensation and derivative financial instruments, income tax expense, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and to assess its litigation, other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues from Venues
Revenues from the operation of the Company’s facilities are recognized when sales occur. The revenue from electronic gift cards is deferred when purchased by the customer and revenue is recognized when the gift cards are redeemed.
Customer Membership Program
During 2014, the Company introduced a customer membership program in which customers pay a monthly membership fee and receive in exchange coupons and admission for that period to venue activities and events. The proceeds from the sale of the membership cards are deferred upon receipt and are recognized as earned, generally within two months of the sale of the membership card.
Franchise Revenues
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an “Area Development Term Sheet” with a franchisee (“Area Development Franchisee”). The Company has granted the Area Development Franchisee the exclusive right to open and operate the Company’s outlets in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The Area Development Franchisee will have the right to use the applicable trademarks in the territory; provided that the Area Development Franchisee must open the first outlet no later than two years from the effective date in each of the two countries of the territory. The term of the agreement is ten years with a fee of $800,000, plus one additional consecutive term of another ten years with a fee of $250,000 per territory for the renewal of the agreement.
Under the agreement, the Company is required to provide, at no cost to the Area Development Franchisee, training, reasonable on-site pre-opening and opening supervision and assistance, reasonable continuing advisory assistance in the operation, operating manuals, and research data related to merchandising, marketing and advertising.
As of June 30, 2015, the Area Development Franchisee has two venues currently in design phase, both of which are expected to open in the first quarter of 2016.
The Company is recording the initial $800,000 fee on the straight-line method over the ten year term of the development agreement. Any ongoing royalty fees are based on a percentage of gross sales and are recognized as revenue as incurred. The renewal fee will be recognized over the term of the renewal. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded franchise revenue of $20,000 and $40,000 which is recorded within Other (income) expense – other, within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign Currency
The Company has two foreign subsidiaries. Although transactions to date through these subsidiaries are minimal, all such transactions have been denominated in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for these entities.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company does not expect to pay or declare any cash dividends on its common stock. The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has not experienced significant exercise activity on stock options. Due to the lack of historical information, the Company determined the expected term of its stock option awards issued using the simplified method. The simplified method assumes each vesting tranche of the award has a term equal to the midpoint between when the award vests and when the award expires. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the Company’s, convertible notes payable, and warrants (using the if-converted method). The computation of basic loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 excludes potentially dilutive securities. At June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company excluded potentially dilutive securities of 59,063,229 and 46,003,930, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into convertible debt agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same.
Conversion options recorded as both equity and derivatives are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Fair Value
The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and, as of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and stock options approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
| ● Level 1. | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● Level 2. | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| ● Level 3. | Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data. |

Fair Value Measurements, continued
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
| | Consolidated Balance Sheet | | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1) | | | Quoted Prices for Similar Assets or Liabilities in Active Markets (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |

December 31, 2014 | | $ | 588,420 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 588,420 | |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities shown in the above table consist of convertible debt “down-round protection”. And, since the down round protection does not have a floor, the Company is unable to determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements. Accordingly, the conversion feature of other convertible debt and warrants issued since May 30, 2014 were also determined to be derivative liabilities
Assumptions utilized in the valuation of Level 3 liabilities are described as follows:
| For the Three Months Ended | | For the Six Months Ended | |
| June 30, | | June 30, | |
| 2015 | | 2014 | | 2015 | | 2014 | |

Risk-free interest rate | 0.08% | - | 1.74% | | 1.62% | - | 1.65% | | 0.03% | – | 1.74% | | 0.11% | - | 1.62% | |
Expected term (years) | 0.50 | - | 5.00 | | 1.00 | - | 5.25 | | 0.25 | - | 5.00 | | 4.33 | - | 5.00 | |
Expected volatility | | 104% | | | | 108% | | | | 104% | | | | 108% | | |
Expected dividends | | 0.00% | | | | 0.00% | | | | 0.00% | | | | 0.00% | | |
The expected term used is the contractual life of the instrument being valued. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

Fair Value Measurements, continued
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | 2015 | |
Beginning balance | | $ | 588,420 | |

On May 30, 2014, the Company assumed certain convertible debt agreements in connection with the Merger. These debt agreements contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, and as such, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12, whereby these and all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability, with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors.

Fair Value Measurements, continued
The derivative conversion feature liabilities are measured at fair value and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are provided below:
| | As of June 30, | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Stock price | | $ | 0.83 | | | $ | 1.40 | |
Expected volatility | | | 104 | % | | | 108 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.63 | % | | | 1.50 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
Weighted average contractual term (in years) | | | 4.4 | | | | 4.5 | |
Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s consultants and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.
A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded in change in fair value of derivative liabilities within other expense (income) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations
As of June 30, 2015, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”), the Company presented the conversion feature liabilities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheet, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the applicable reporting periods. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same.
Income Taxes
Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Sponsorship costs are capitalized and amortized to expense over the sponsorship periods. Advertising costs for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, were approximately $78,445 and $253,829 respectively. Advertising costs for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, were approximately $158,700 and $383,470 respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash.
The Company maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Interest bearing accounts are insured up to $250,000 and non-interest bearing accounts have no limitation. From time to time, the Company may have cash in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have cash in excess of FDIC limits.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, one supplier represented approximately 59% and 58%, respectively, of the Company’s cost of goods sold. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, one supplier represented approximately 56% and 53%, respectively, of the Company’s cost of goods sold.
As of June 30, 2015, obligations to two suppliers represented approximately 28% and 11%, respectively of the aggregate of Accounts payable – trade and Accounts payable – construction related. As of December 31, 2014, obligations to one supplier represented approximately 12% of the aggregate of Accounts payable – trade and Accounts payable – construction related.
Lease and Leasehold Improvements
The Company has leases that contain predetermined fixed escalations of minimum rentals and/or rent abatements subsequent to taking possession of the leased property. The Company recognizes the related rent expense on a straight-line basis commencing upon store possession date. The Company records the difference between the recognized rental expense and amounts payable under the leases as deferred lease credits.
The Company receives allowances from landlords related to its retail venues. These allowances are generally comprised of amounts paid by the landlord to the Company’s contractors for the build-out of its venues as part of the negotiated lease terms. The Company records as an asset and an offsetting deferred lease credit obligation to the landlord for each payment made by the landlord for improvements to the venue location. The deferred lease credit is amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. The Company’s unamortized portion of landlord allowances, which amounted to $9,256,419 as of June 30, 2015 and $7,276,996 as of December 31, 2014, is included in deferred rent and obligations to landlords on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company also has leasehold improvements which are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the period from the date the assets are placed in service to the end of the initial lease term. Leasehold improvements made after the inception of the initial lease term are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured, (see Note 10).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB modified ASU 2014-09 to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. As modified, the FASB permits the adoption of the new revenue standard early, but not before the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. A public organization would apply the new revenue standard to all interim reporting periods within the year of adoption. The company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, US GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in last-out (“LIFO”). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoptions of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

Litigation
In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company is exposed to litigation risks from time to time that can have significant adverse effects upon its financial and operating condition, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.
On December 12, 2012, The Estate of Jerome H. Denner commenced an action entitled Larry Grossinger, Personal Representative of the Estate of Jerome H. Denner v. The Brownstone Group, LLC and Latitude 30 Group, LLC in Duval County Circuit Court, Florida. The lawsuit alleges that Brownstone and the Company’s subsidiary, Latitude 30 Group, LLC (“Latitude 30”), on June 25, 2010, executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $879,807 and that the note was not paid on the maturity date of December 31, 2010. The suit seeks money damages in the amount of $879,807 plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Latitude 30 intends to vigorously defend the action on the ground that most of plaintiff’s funds were provided by plaintiff’s attorney in fact to an escrow agent who converted the monies and failed to make restitution to the plaintiff. The SEC brought a lawsuit against the parties responsible for the conversion of escrow funds for similar allegations, and provided a restitution check in the amount of approximately $155,000, which partially offset the amount of this claim. Latitude 30 has repaid the plaintiff all of the funds the escrow agent disbursed to Latitude 30, and Latitude 30 asserts that it is not liable to repay the other funds that were converted by the escrow agent in the approximate amount of $775,000. In March 2015, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in this matter. Latitude 30 has filed a motion for reconsideration but was denied on July 29, 2015, but intends to appeal the summary judgment decision. The Company believes it still has a viable defensible position in this case. There can be no assurance given that the Company will prevail in this matter and in the event that the Company is ultimately found liable in such litigation, it would have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that if such event should occur, that Latitude 30 will be able to look to Brownstone to contribute a pro rata amount to the payment of any judgment. Through June 30, 2015, the Company has not accrued for any loss on this matter.
On October 10, 2014 a complaint was filed by a former employee seeking $150,000 in severance and 2,412,574 shares of stock. The Company denies that any sums are due to the plaintiff as a result of his voluntary termination of his employment. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. On November 6, 2014 the Company filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff arising from his employment with the Company for breach of his employment agreement, declaratory relief, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, breach of confidentiality agreement, and other claims. This lawsuit is currently in the discovery stage. Latitude’s position is that are no outstanding paychecks from the Company, and no stock is due under the terms of the restrictive stock agreement.There can be no assurance given that the Company will prevail in this matter and in the event that the Company is ultimately found liable in such litigation, it would have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
On October 17, 2014, the Company received a demand for arbitration from Summit Trading Ltd. (“Summit”) arising from a consulting agreement between the Company and Summit. Summit is seeking 3,344,988 shares of common stock of the Company. This matter was in the discovery phase as of June 30, 2015. We do not believe that any sum is due to Summit and intend to vigorously defend the action.There can be no assurance given that the Company will prevail in this matter and in the event that the Company is ultimately found liable in such litigation, it would have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
Nevertheless, if one or more of the pending lawsuits, or any lawsuits in the future, are adjudicated in a manner adverse to the Company and/or its subsidiary’s interests, or if a settlement of any lawsuit requires the Company to pay a significant amount, the result could have an adverse impact on the Company’s overall financial position.

The term of the Territory Agreement is perpetual, unless terminated by either party upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Territory Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Territory Agreement, the Company is responsible for, among other things, operating the subject venues like other Company venues, making available certain sales, marketing and other data to the Grantee, siting and outfitting each venue in accordance with the Company’s guidelines, outfitting the subject venues with signage, making any required capital improvements with respect to the subject venues, and marketing and advertising each of the subject venues.
The Company’s obligations under the Territory Agreement were contingent upon the Company receiving a total of $1,000,000 in funding from the Grantee, which was provided in the form of two loans to the Company from the Grantee in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, the proceeds of which were received on May 13, 2015. Pursuant to the note agreement, the maturity date is May 13, 2020 and the notes bear interest at 12% per annum.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, at any time until April 17, 2016, the third party shall be entitled to exchange any portion of the outstanding and unpaid promissory notes for shares of the Company’s common stock, as provided in the Agreement in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a) (9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to the third party upon any such exchange shall be determined by dividing (i) 200% of the amount of the Existing Debt to be exchanged by (ii) the Exchange Price which is the Closing Bid Price on the Exchange Date, provided that the number of shares to be issued shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. On July 20, 2015, the third party exchanged a portion of the outstanding and unpaid promissory notes for 6,903,356 shares of the Company's common stock.
Private Placement Agreement
On July 13, 2015, the Company entered into a one year agreement with an investment banker to provide advice to the Company and to lead a capital raise should the Company pursue such raise. The advisor is eligible to earn certain fees and the reimbursement of expenses upon a successful offering.

Pursuant to the terms of each Management Agreement, the applicable Company subsidiary will serve as the manager and operator of the subject venue (as applicable, the “Manager”) for the duration of such Management Agreement. Each Manager is responsible for funding the operations, and discharging the obligations, of the applicable venue during the term, and for paying a monthly fee to Owners ($20,819 and $38,681 per month for the Bethlehem and Syracuse locations, respectively). Each Manager is entitled to retain the excess, if any, of revenues from the applicable venue over the cost of operating the facility and the monthly fee paid to Owners. The Company has guaranteed the Managers’ obligations under the Management Agreements.
The term of each Management Agreement is from August 17, 2015 until the earlier to occur of (i) settlement or termination of an agreement pursuant to which the Company would purchase, as to each venue, the interest in the venue from the Owner or (ii) 60 days from the execution of such Management Agreement, subject to the right of the Manager to extend the term for an additional period, not to exceed six months, until such time as the Manager receives approval from the applicable state to transfer the Owner’s liquor license to the manager.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with theunaudited consolidated financial statements, and related notes included herein. Unless otherwise specified, the meanings of all defined terms in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) are consistent with the meanings of such terms as defined in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, management changed its accounting for the following items in order to comply with US GAAP:
| a. | Record the value of leasehold improvements funded by the Company’s landlord and the related deferred rent on the Company’s balance sheet |
| b. | Correct the recording of stock based compensation |
| c. | Correct the recording of certain capital leases that had been previously treated as operating leases for the six months ended June 30, 2014 |
| d. | Correct the accounting for the merger of Latitude and Kingdom Koncrete to account for it as a reverse acquisition |
| e. | Correct the recording of certain equity transactions during the year ended December 31, 2014 |
| f. | Reverse the recognition of certain franchise fee revenue that should not have been recorded |
| g. | Record the effect of derivative liabilities during the six and months ended June 30, 2014 that had not previously been recorded |
| h. | Record the effect of certain non-cash interest expense and the amortization of debt discounts |
Within the quarterly report on this Form 10-Q, the Company changed its accounting for certain matters in prior periods to conform to US GAAP and corrected certain presentations and disclosures within the financial statements and notes to the financial statements. As a result of these changes in accounting treatments, the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the period ended December 31, 2014 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the Quarters ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2015, should no longer be relied upon. For the period ended March 31, 2015, (the results of which are included within the amounts reported for the six months ended June 30, 2015), such amounts have also been restated to reflect certain corrections for the impact of the items reflected above associated with 2014. The Company intends to file amendments to the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports as soon as possible.
Specifically, the changes in treatment will result in a change to the assets, and equity portions of the consolidated balance sheets at the aforementioned reporting dates and will result in a change in the results of operations and earnings (loss) per share as reported in the Company’s statement of operations for such periods.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Form 10-Q and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. An expanded discussion of these risk factors is contained in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Nature of Activities, History and Organization:
Latitude 360 (“L360” or the Company), is an independent, full-service entertainment company whose predecessor entity was founded in 2009 to plan, develop, construct and operate state-of-the-art, 40,000 to 70,000 square foot premier entertainment venues while targeting “A” location commercial properties at distressed prices. Each L360 location fuses an exceptional food & beverage experience with multiple entertainment options in an upscale and contemporary designed venue. Entertainment options include; a dine-in luxury movie screening room (Cinegrille), a dine-in live performance theater with a full-size stage (Latitude LIVE), luxury bowling lanes (bowling/full food service to lanes), a sports theater, a main bar with small stage/dance floor (Axis bar), the latest offering in hi-tech electronic video games, and an upscale Nuevo-American casual dining restaurant and sports bar. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had three operational entertainment venues.
On May 30, 2014 the Company completed its acquisition of Latitude 360, Inc., a Florida corporation (“L360 Florida”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) dated April 8, 2014, among the Company, Latitude Global Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and L360 Florida. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 30, 2014, Merger Sub merged with and into L360 Florida, and L360 Florida became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger the Company issued (or reserved for issuance) an aggregate of 114,070,828 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Merger Shares”) to the shareholders of L360 Florida immediately prior to the effective time as consideration for the acquisition. The Merger Shares represent approximately 98.9% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Except for certain convertible securities of L360 Florida which did not convert into shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Merger (the “L360 Non-Converting Securities”), each outstanding share of preferred stock of L360 Florida, each warrant to purchase L360 Florida common stock, and any other security of L360 Florida exchangeable for or convertible into shares of L360 common stock (the “L360 Convertible Securities”) was exchanged or converted into shares of L360 Florida common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, such that the shares of L360 common stock issued upon conversion, along with the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the L360 Non-Converting Securities, represented the right to receive a portion of the Merger Shares. Each L360 Non-Converting Security outstanding at the effective time of the Merger was automatically converted into a like convertible security, or the right to receive a like convertible security, to acquire a portion of the Merger Shares, at an exercise price per share appropriately adjusted so that the aggregate exercise price is the same as it was prior to the effective time of the Merger. The Company changed its name to Latitude 360 Inc. on June 2, 2014. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, and as such, the historical financial statements of L360 Florida are those of Latitude.
The Company’s Business
L360 is an award-winning, full-service upscale casual restaurant/entertainment venue operator. Founded in 2009, L360’s objective is to plan, develop, construct and operate state-of-the-art, 40,000 to 85,000 square foot upscale dining and entertainment venues taking advantage of the downturn in big box commercial property locations and leasing at discounted rates. The L360 target locations are shopping centers and urban markets in “A” cities as well as destination locations. L360 venues fuse an exceptional food and beverage experience with multiple entertainment options in an upscale and contemporary designed venue.
Entertainment options (all with an array of dining and beverage service, from casual to upscale) can include:
| • | The 360 Grille & Bar – a casual yet contemporary American restaurant. |
| • | The Lanes – Luxury bowling lanes with leather couches and cutting-edge audio/visual systems on every lane, creating an upscale, lounge-like atmosphere. |
| • | The Cinegrille – A dine-in movie theater featuring home theater-style seating. |
| • | Game Room – The latest offering in hi-tech electronic video, redemption games and prizes. |
| • | Latitude LIVE – A live performance theater with a full-stage, high-end theatrical sound and lighting systems and seating for 170-300+ guests. Features live comedy on Friday and Saturday. |
| • | HD Sports Theater–A sports theater with multiple HD screens, similar to sports books in Vegas. |
| • | The AXIS Bar & Stage–A unique bar, dance floor and stage with weekend performances by the hottest DJs and regional bands. |
| • | Latitude Lit–A luxury cigar lounge with HD screens and patio access. |
L360’s unique concept creates what its founders believe to be a one-of-a-kind venue with a first-class menu including hand-crafted and signature items. What in the past may have traditionally been viewed as separate industries and businesses, L360 is combining and operating its locations as one stand-alone, multi-venue facility. The strategy includes co-locating several distinct businesses (dining, movies, bowling, video and redemption gaming, Latitude Live entertainment and sports bars), and others as the imagination and technology further evolves. It is anticipated that the public’s discretionary dining and entertainment spending dollars can be captured by offering a single destination for an entire day and evening. By combining separate businesses in its multi-venue centers, the Company believes the L360 concept will also continue to capture more of the consumer’s leisure time.
Consumer acceptance of these concepts is due to many economic, social and business factors including, in part, a growing social trend of families enjoying more time together (cocooning), time constraints reflecting their busy schedules, as well as the current high cost of fuel. By combining dining with other forms of entertainment, families can increasingly plan and enjoy the convenience of an entire evening’s activities at one multi-functional location without the hassle of driving from venue to venue, while also being socially responsible. The Company has been capitalizing on this growing trend by leveraging its strengths and applying its experience in creating premier multi-venue entertainment complexes located in Jacksonville, FL, Indianapolis, IN and Pittsburgh, PA, respectively. These venues offer upscale casual dining restaurants, luxury sports bars, billiards and electronic gaming rooms, luxury bowling lanes, Latitude Live (Vegas-style Review) and private luxury movie screening rooms that cater to families and the corporate community. L360 strives to offer its patrons, including groups, a wide variety of appealing dining, entertainment and activity choices, at an array of different price points.
Group sales is a key component of L360’s ongoing and future success. L360 has already hosted over 8,600 group events, with hundreds of corporate events held annually. More than 400 different corporate clients, including more than half of the leading corporations that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, have used one of L360’s venues for hosting an event. Event sales revenue presently represents approximately 20% of total L360 sales and this percentage is expected to grow over time. Importantly, group sales showcase L360 venues, including its multiple dining and entertainment options.
As a result, attendees often bring family and friends for future visits, thereby creating a ‘ripple effect.’ The ripple effect also works in the other direction as family and friend visits also lead to future corporate or other event bookings at L360 locations, for their own organization or via word of mouth recommendations and endorsements to work colleagues and other friends/ family members.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (Restated)
Net Sales – Net sales increased by $285,824 or 7% to $4,267,504 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $3,981,680 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
We have recently added several new revenue streams to Latitude 360 through marketing sponsorships, a new gift card program and our membership program.
Additionally we are actively seeking other opportunities internationally, besides the Middle East, to grow our brand abroad, which we expect will increase franchise revenues.
Cost of Sales – Cost of sales increased by $64,837 or 8% from $799,681 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $864,518 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase relates to an increase in the cost of food and beverage of $81,862 or 10.9% to $831,730 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $749,868 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The cost of food and beverage as a percentage to food and beverage net sales increased to 28.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 28.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The cost of amusement, entertainment and other sales decreased by $17,025 or 34.2% to $32,788 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $49,813 in for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The cost of amusement, entertainment and other sales as a percentage to amusement, entertainment and other revenue net sales decreased to 2.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 3.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Labor - Labor increased by $101,542 or 5% to $2,056,219 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $1,954,677 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in operating labor relates mainly to hiring additional personnel to manage and execute our new membership program. Management is continuously evaluating all the staffing needs and will make adjustments accordingly if needed.
We have recently implemented an aggressive labor cost cutting program at both the Venue and Corporate levels which we expect will reduce labor costs significantly. Additionally, we are in the process of implementing three major computer systems, which we expect will allow the Company to become more efficient, resulting in additional labor cost reductions.
Stock-based compensation –Stock-based compensation decreased by $1,115,054 or 93% to $84,136 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $1,199,190 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, on account of fewer stock options being granted in the 2015 period.
Occupancy and related costs – The occupancy and related costs decreased by $104,449 or 13% to $682,916 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $787,365 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was mainly related to decreased utility and other costs.
Professional fees – Professional fees decreased by $68,518 or 9% from $789,244 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $720,726 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was on account of the Company’s greater focus on managing professional fees and the costs in 2014 included the reverse merger with fewer related costs in the current period.
Depreciation and Amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $207,151 or 20% to $1,233,997 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from approximately $1,026,846 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 because of improvements in the venues during the period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, General and Administrative expenses, which primarily consist of administration, travel, sales and marketing decreased by $291,085 or 10% to $2,722,259 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $3,013,344 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease relates principally to decreased travel from the levels in place during 2014 for merger related activities.
Other income expense –Other income expense decreased by $18,143,028 or 99% from $18,348,039 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $205,011 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in other operating expenses was principally due to a decrease in interest expense of $4,785,317 and a decrease in the change in fair value of derivative of $13,285,014. The decrease was partially off-set by an increase on loss from fixed assets sold of $145,788.
Net Loss –Net loss decreased by $19,634,328 or 82% to $4,302,378 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $23,936,706 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (Restated)

Cost of Sales – Cost of sales increased by $160,743 or 9% from $1,772,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $1,933,683 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase relates to an increase in the cost of food and beverage of $146,241 or 8.8% to $1,808,252 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $1,662,011 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The cost of food and beverage as a percentage to food and beverage net sales decreased to 27.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 28.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The cost of amusement, entertainment and other sales increased by $14,502 or 13% to $125,431 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $110,929 in for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The cost of amusement, entertainment and other sales as a percentage to amusement, entertainment and other revenue net sales increased to 3.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 3.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Labor - Labor increased by $662,133 or 17% to $4,475,670 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $3,813,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in operating labor relates mainly to hiring of additional personnel to manage and execute our new membership program. Management is continuously evaluating all the staffing needs and will make adjustments accordingly if needed.
We have recently implemented an aggressive labor cost cutting program at both the Venue and Corporate levels which we expect will reduce labor costs significantly. Additionally, we are in the process of implementing three major computer systems, which will allow the Company to become more efficient, resulting in additional labor cost reductions.
Stock-based compensation –Stock-based compensation decreased by $958,857 or 80% to $240,333 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $1,199,190 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, on account of fewer stock options being granted in the 2015 period.
Occupancy and related costs – The occupancy and related costs decreased by $274,406 or 17% to $1,331,874 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1,606,280 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was mainly related to decreased utility and other costs.
Professional fees – Professional fees increased by $336,572 or 27% from $1,252,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $1,589,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These costs increased as a result of becoming a public company and the related reporting responsibilities.
Depreciation and Amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $233,948 or 11% to $2,310,223 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $2,076,275 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, on account of improvements to the venues.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expensesfor the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared tothe six months ended June 30, 2014 relates to increases in labor, payroll taxes and commission expenses related to increased group sales, increased local taxes and increased penalties and expenses. These increases in expenses were offset by a decrease in service fees paid to related parties.
Other income expense –Other income expense decreased by $18,424,931 or 78% from $23,563,420 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $5,138,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in other operating expenses was principally due to a decrease in interest expense of $8,264,213 and a decrease in the change in fair value of derivative of $14,340,726. The decrease was partially off-set by an increase in loss on modification of debt of $4,074,577.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total assets were $56.0 million at June 30, 2015, of which approximately $0.4 million were current assets. As of June 30, 2015 we had a working capital deficit of $88.1 million. During the past two years, we have experienced net losses. We anticipate our operating cash flows to continue to be negative during the construction and development periods for our new venues.
The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to pay its obligations when they become due is contingent upon obtaining additional financing and generating positive cash flows from its operations. Management’s plans include the procurement of additional funds through debt and equity instruments, including through the Exchange agreement (see Note 13) in consolidated financials included herein, and seeking to increase operating cash flows from improved performance at our venues. We are currently in discussions with several financing sources in regard to bridge funding, balance sheet funding and equipment financing we expect, if obtained, will improve the Company’s liquidity. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, or that cash flow generated from our venues will be sufficient to meets our current operating costs and required debt service. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development, which could harm its financial condition and operating results, or curtain its operations.
While we currently operate as a going concern, certain significant factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of food, beverages and game redemption items. Inventories are accounted for at lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Spoilage is expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the related lease
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Franchise Revenues
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an “Area Development Term Sheet” with Al Sedriyah a (“Franchisee”). The Company has granted the Franchisee the exclusive right to open and operate the Company’s outlets in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The Franchisee will have the right to use the applicable trademarks in the territory; provided that the Franchisee must open the first outlet no later than two years from the effective date in each of the two countries of the territory. The term of the agreement is ten years with a fee of $800,000, plus one additional consecutive term of another ten years with a fee of $250,000 per territory for the renewal of the agreement.
Under the agreement, the Company is required to provide, at no cost to the Franchisee, training, reasonable on-site pre-opening and opening supervision and assistance, reasonable continuing advisory assistance in the operation, operating manuals, and research data related to merchandising, marketing and advertising.
As of June 30, 2015, the Franchisee has two venues currently in design phase, both of which are expected to open in the first quarter of 2016.
The Company is recording the initial $800,000 fee on the straight-line method over the ten year term of the development agreement. Any ongoing royalty fees are based on a percentage of gross sales and are recognized as revenue as incurred. The renewal fee will be recognized over the term of the renewal. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded franchise revenue of $20,000 and $40,000.
Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services and property.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company does not expect to pay or declare any cash dividends on its common stock. The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has not experienced significant exercise activity on stock options. Due to the lack of historical information, the Company determined the expected term of its stock option awards issued using the simplified method. The simplified method assumes each vesting tranche of the award has a term equal to the midpoint between when the award vests and when the award expires. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method.
Loss per Share of Common Stock
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Sponsorship costs are capitalized and amortized to expense over the sponsorship periods.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements. On August 17, 2015, after consulting with the Company’s Audit Committee, management changed its accounting for certain matters in prior periods to conform to US GAAP and corrected certain presentations and disclosures within the financial statements and notes to the financial statements. As a result of these changes in accounting treatment, the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the period ended December 31, 2014 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the Quarters ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2015, should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file amendments to the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports as soon as possible.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Remediation plan. Since the determination regarding this deficiency, we have devoted significant effort and resources to remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we had processes in place to identify and apply developments in accounting standards, we enhanced these processes to better evaluate our research of the nuances of complex accounting standards and engaged a third party financial reporting consulting firm to assist the Company in its financial reporting compliance. Our enhancements included retaining a third party consultant, who is a technical accounting professional, to assist us in the interpretation and application of new and complex accounting guidance. Management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment.
Except for the remediation efforts described above, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Litigation
In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company is exposed to litigation risks from time to time that can have significant adverse effects upon its financial and operating condition, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.
On December 12, 2012, The Estate of Jerome H. Denner commenced an action entitled Larry Grossinger, Personal Representative of the Estate of Jerome H. Denner v. The Brownstone Group, LLC and Latitude 30 Group, LLC in Duval County Circuit Court, Florida. The lawsuit alleges that Brownstone and the Company’s subsidiary, Latitude 30 Group, LLC (“Latitude 30”), on June 25, 2010, executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $879,807 and that the note was not paid on the maturity date of December 31, 2010. The suit seeks money damages in the amount of $879,807 plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Latitude 30 intends to vigorously defend the action on the ground that most of plaintiff’s funds were provided by plaintiff’s attorney in fact to an escrow agent who converted the monies and failed to make restitution to the plaintiff. The SEC brought a lawsuit against the parties responsible for the conversion of escrow funds for similar allegations, and provided a restitution check in the amount of approximately $155,000, which partially offset the amount of this claim. Latitude 30 has repaid the plaintiff all of the funds the escrow agent disbursed to Latitude 30, and Latitude 30 asserts that it is not liable to repay the other funds that were converted by the escrow agent in the approximate amount of $775,000. In March 2015, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in this matter. Latitude 30 has filed a motion for reconsideration but was denied on July 29, 2015, but intends to appeal the summary judgment decision. The Company believes it still has a viable defensible position in this case. There can be no assurance given that Latitude 30 will prevail in this litigation and in the event that Brownstone and Latitude 30 are ultimately found liable in such litigation it would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that if such event should occur, that Latitude 30 will be able to look to Brownstone to contribute a pro rata amount to the payment of any judgment. The Company has not accrued for any loss on this matter.
On October 10, 2014 a complaint was filed by a former employee seeking $150,000 in severance and 2,412,574 shares of stock. The Company denies that any sums are due to the plaintiff as a result of his voluntary termination of his employment. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. On November 6, 2014 the Company filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff arising from his employment with the Company for breach of his employment agreement, declaratory relief, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, breach of confidentiality agreement, and other claims. This lawsuit is currently in the discovery stage. Latitude’s position is that are no outstanding paychecks from the company, and no stock is due under the terms of the restrictive stock agreement.
On October 17, 2014, the Company received a demand for arbitration from Summit Trading Ltd. (“Summit”) arising from a consulting agreement between the Company and Summit. Summit is seeking 3,344,988 shares of common stock of the Company. This matter was in the discovery phase as of June 30, 2015. We do not believe that any sum is due to Summit and intend to vigorously defend the action.
Nevertheless, if one or more of the pending lawsuits, or any lawsuits in the future, are adjudicated in a manner adverse to the Company and/or its subsidiary’s interests, or if a settlement of any lawsuit requires the Company to pay a significant amount, the result could have an adverse impact on the Company’s overall financial position.
Landlord Disputes
On May 15, 2014, the Company entered into a lease for a new venue location in Minneapolis, MN. On January 27, 2015 the Company sent a Demand and Notice to the Landlord notifying the landlord that it was in breach of the lease, and obstructed and/or delayed the Company’s progress on the project, and had tortuously interfered with the Company’s contractors. The Company also demanded certain documentation and records. On June 15, 2015 the Landlord notified the Company of its intention to terminate the lease. On June 26, 2015 the Company was notified that the lease was terminated and shortly thereafter, the possession of the property was returned to the landlord. Both parties have reserved the right to legally recoup any damage due.
On January 14, 2014, the Company entered into a lease for a new venue location in Albany, NY. The landlord sent the Company a "Notice of Lease Termination" dated July 23, 2015. On August 12, 2015 the Company received a notice of eviction. The landlord and the Company are in discussions to resolve the dispute.
On June 6, 2014, the Company entered into a lease for a new venue location in Kingston, MA property, which was in default at June 30, 2015. During June 2015, the Company received a notice of default under the lease. The landlord and the Company are in discussions to resolve the dispute.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report [Including the recoverability of assets, defaults on debt obligations and liquidity restrictions], you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements contained in this report.
