NIGHTCULTURE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

NightCulture, Inc. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company operates in the event promotion business.

The Company was originally incorporated as Texxon, Inc. on October 6, 1998, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma.   From inception until 2011, the Company pursued various business plans under multiple names, made an acquisition pursuant to a share exchange and carried out multiple reverse stock splits.  From March 2009 until July 31, 2011, the Company operated under the name XXX Acquisition Corp and conducted no operations other than seeking a business to acquire.  Since completion of an Exchange (defined below) in July 2011, the Company has been engaged in the event promotion business. In August 2011, the Company changed its name to NightCulture, Inc. and carried out an 8-for-1 forward stock split.  See “Reverse Merger” below.  In May 2012, the Company acquired Stereo Live, a related event venue operator, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. See “Stereo Live Acquisition” below.

Reverse Merger

On July 31, 2011, the Company completed a share exchange (the “Exchange”) with Night Culture, Inc. (“Night Culture – Texas), a Texas corporation. Under terms of the Exchange, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Night Culture – Texas in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Night Culture – Texas. As a result of the Exchange, Night Culture – Texas became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the sole officer of the Company resigned and was replaced by the sole officer of Night Culture – Texas, a director of Night Culture – Texas was appointed to the board of directors of the Company, the shareholders of Night Culture – Texas became the majority shareholders of the Company and the Company adopted the business plan of Night Culture – Texas.  In August 2011, the Company changed its name from XXX Acquisition Corp. to NightCulture, Inc. and the Company affected an 8-for-1 forward stock split.

The Exchange was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization and Night Culture - Texas is considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes and XXX Acquisition the acquired company. The business of Night Culture - Texas became the business of XXX Acquisition. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Exchange are those of Night Culture - Texas and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Night Culture - Texas.

Stereo Live Acquisition

On May 21, 2012, the Company acquired from Michael Long and Surain Adyanthaya 100% ownership of Stereo Live, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Stereo Live”), in exchange for the issuance of one share of stock to each of Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya and the agreement of the Company to indemnify Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya against any obligations of Stereo Live that may have been guaranteed by those individuals. Stereo Live is the owner/operator of a live music venue located at 6400 Richmond Avenue, Houston, Texas.  Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya are the principal shareholders of the Company and, at the time of the Company’s acquisition of Stereo Live, Stereo Live was indebted to the Company in the amount of $151,500.

Financial Statements Presented

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end December 31, 2011 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $226,571 for the six months ending June 30, 2012.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company reported an accumulated deficit of $8,931,066.   As of June 30, 2012, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s plans to attain profitability, improve its liquidity and service its debt entails strategic initiatives designed to increase revenues and, in turn, profitability and efforts to secure additional capital and funding through sales of equity and potential profit sharing arrangements with partners that may agree to fund specific events.  The Company’s plans regarding sales of equity to raise capital may include accessing funding under an equity line of credit facility established in 2011 under which the Company would have the ability to put up to $1,000,000 of its common stock to the provider of the facility based on sales of shares at a discount to the price of the Company’s common stock.  Access to funding under the equity line of credit facility is contingent on, among other things, filing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares underlying the equity line of credit facility and having the registration statement declared effective.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to grow its revenues and profitability or to secure additional equity funding, through the equity line of credit facility or otherwise.

NOTE 3 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Under ASC-815 the warrants issued in 2011 (See “Note 8 – Warrants” below) are considered an embedded derivative requiring measurement of it beneficial conversion feature. ASC-815-15-35-2 states if an entity cannot reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative that paragraph 815-15-25-1 requires be separated from the host contract, the entire contract shall be measured subsequently at fair value with gain or loss recognized in earnings. As the warrants were issued during the year ending December 31, 2011and there was no market for the stock in which the warrants were exercisable, a measurement of fair value and derivative liability could not be determined. The fair value and derivative liability will be determined on each reporting period going forward.

As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1    –
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2     -
Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3     –
Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

NOTE 4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE

The Company issued a promissory note to First Bridge Capital Inc., on January 20, 2007 with interest accruing at 10%. The principal along with the accrued interest was due on or before December 31, 2007 or on the date the Company receives proceeds from the public offering of its shares, whichever is earlier.  During the period ending March, 2009 the Company agreed to convert $258,378 of debt to 56,786,461 shares of common stock. As neither has occurred, the note is in default with the outstanding balance of the note payable as of June 30, 2012 with a principal balance of $649,349 plus accrued interest of $444,936 for a total amount of $1,094,285.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

During the year ending December 31, 2011, Night Culture – Texas, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $480,818 of convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) maturing on December 30, 2013. The Debentures accrued interest at 5% per annum with a default rate of 18% per annum.  The Debentures were convertible into common stock of Night Culture – Texas at a price equal to 70% of the average closing price of the common stock over the 20 trading day period ending prior to the date of conversion; provided, however, that a holder of Debentures could not convert Debentures to the extent that the share holdings in Night Culture - Texas of such holder would exceed 4.99% following such conversion.

On February 27, 2012, following the Company’s acquisition of NightCulture – Texas, the Company, (NightCulture - Nevada) assumed the convertible debentures and warrants and there liabilities under the terms as issued by its subsidiary NightCulture - Texas.

During the six months ending June 2012, the holders of the Debentures converted all $480,818 of the Debentures, and accrued interest, into 2,869,178 shares of common stock. (See “Note 7 – Equity”).

NOTE 7 – EQUITY

On July 30, 2011, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to two individuals in exchange of all the outstanding shares (100,000,000) of Night Culture - Texas.  The issuance of the shares caused a change in control of the Company.
 
 
9

 

On August 26, 2011, the Company effected an eight-for-one (8-for-1) forward split to shareholders of record on August 19, 2011.  As a result of this forward stock split, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock increased to 46,453,152.

In March 2012, the Company issued 2,869,178 shares of common stock to the Debenture holders on conversion of $480,818 plus accrued interest owing on the Debentures. (See “Note 6 – Convertible Debentures”).

NOTE 8 – WARRANTS

In conjunction with the issuance of the Debentures, Night Culture – Texas issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock for each $10,000 in principal amount of Debentures issued.  On February 27, 2012, the Company assumed all obligations under the Warrants. At June 30, 2012, Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 24,040,900 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding.  The Warrants are exercisable until December 31, 2014 at a price equal to 70% of the average closing price of the common stock over the 20 trading day period ending prior to the date of conversion; provided, however, that a holder of Warrants may not exercise Warrants to the extent that the share holdings of such holder would exceed 4.99% following such exercise.

The Company’s stock commenced trading on January 18, 2012 and, as the Warrants are convertible at 70% of the trailing 20 day closing price, the determination of a fair value using the trading price of the Company stock or comparative companies was not an accurate basis.  Thus, the Company elected to determine the fair value at March 31, 2012 as its basis for changes in fair value in future periods and re-determines value each quarter thereafter.

The fair value of each Warrant granted was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions:

NOTE 9 – ACQUISITION OF STEREO LIVE

On May 21, 2012, the Company acquired from Michael Long and Surain Adyanthaya 100% ownership of Stereo Live, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Stereo Live”), in exchange for the issuance of one share of stock to each of Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya and the agreement of the Company to indemnify Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya against any obligations of Stereo Live that may have been guaranteed by those individuals.   Messrs. Long and Adyanthaya are the principal shareholders of the Company.

SEC S-X Regulation 210.3-05 guideline states if an acquired business is under common control or management; the financial statement presentation shall be presented on a combined basis for the period they are under common control.  Based on this guideline the financials of the Company and Stereo Live have been combined in this report.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Overview

Our principal line of business is promoting and producing, and selling merchandise at, live concerts, primarily in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) genre and, since May 2012, hosting entertainment events at our Stereo Live venue. Since 2009, we have promoted and/or produced in excess of 200 live concerts. To date, we have organized events principally in Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Oklahoma City.

Our revenues are principally derived from ticket sales to events that we promote and produce for which we typically receive a negotiated percentage of the ticket revenues. We typically act as agent for acts and recognize only our net share of revenues from ticket sales. In situations where we act as principal in promoting an event and take on the risks and rewards of such event we will recognize the gross revenues from ticket sales. We may also derive additional revenues associated with events that we promote and produce, including negotiated portions of revenues from merchandising, concessions and promotional opportunities.

Commencing with our acquisition of Stereo Live in May 2012, we also derive revenues from venue rentals, beverage sales and other related fees and charges derived from operation of our Stereo Live venue.

Our principal costs of generating revenues are direct costs associated with promotion and production of events, including, but not limited to, venue costs, advertising, ticketing agency costs and costs of event support personnel.  With our acquisition of Stereo Live, our principal costs also include costs of beverage sales, venue lease expense and venue operating personnel.

2012 Developments

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the following events affected our financial position and results of operations:

Conversion of Debentures.  All outstanding Debentures, in the principal amount of $480,818 plus accrued interest in the amount of $20,745, were converted into an aggregate of 2,869,178 shares of our common stock.

Recording of Derivative Liabilities.  During the six months period, our stock began trading on a public market and we recorded as a derivative liability, the embedded derivative identified in the warrants in the amount of $115,171.

Stereo Live Acquisition.  On May 21, 2012, we acquired 100% ownership of Stereo Live, an entertainment venue operator, from our two principal shareholders in exchange for an aggregate of two shares of common stock.  As a result of the acquisition, operating results of Stereo Live are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $695,019 and $1,248,071, compared to $295,217 and $640,791 during the same periods in 2011. The increase in revenues was attributable to expanded concert promotion efforts and the addition of revenues from the operation of Stereo Live.

Direct Costs

Direct costs were $322,706 and $472,036 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 188% and 160% respectively compared to $171,363 and $294,784 for the same period in 2011. As a percentage of revenues direct costs were 46.3% and 37.8% in 2012 compare to 58.4% and 46% in 2011.  The change in direct cost as a percentage of sales in 2012 over 2011 was due to lower production costs as related to revenue in 2012.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists principal of interest expense and gain/ (loss) on changes in the value of derivative liability associated with outstanding warrants. Other income and expense, net, totaled income of $249,353 for the three months period and expense of $153,344 for the six months ending June 30, 2012 compared to $18,084 and $36,000 in the same periods in 2011.

Financial Condition

Cash, Cash Flows and Working Capital

At June 30, 2012, we had a cash balance of $60,562 and a working capital deficit of $1,413,164 as compared to a cash balance of $13,105 and a working capital deficit of $1,243,750 at December 31, 2011.  The change in working capital reflected our recording of our non-cash derivative liability in the amount of $15,171. The changes in cash and working capital reflects our acquisition of Stereo Live and the elimination of intercompany transactions.

Net cash provided in operations for the six months ending June 30, 2012 was $47,457 compared to net cash used in operations of $57,180 provided in the same period in 2011.   The increase in cash provided in operations was principally attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses during 2012.

Net cash used in investing activities for the period ending June 30, 2012 was zero compared to $5,573 for the same period in 2011.  Cash used in investing activities relates to acquisition of equipment during the 2011 period

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was zero compared to $328,975 for the same period in 2011. Financing activities in 2011 reflect repayment of certain advances of $21,025 and the issuance of $350,000 of 5% interest bearing convertible debentures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal requirement for capital is to fund our operating deficits and growth initiatives and satisfy our contractual obligations and outstanding debt and payables.

During 2011, we received $480,818 of proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Debentures.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, all of the Convertible Debentures were converted to common stock and no amounts owed on the debentures at June 30, 2012.

As we continued to operate at a loss during the six months ended June 30, 2012, we believe that we will be required to either improve profitability and operating cash flow or to borrow additional funds or otherwise secure additional financing, or both, to support our operations during 2012.  Except as described below regarding our equity line of credit, we do not presently have any commitments to provide financing, if needed, to support our operations.

In 2011, we established an equity line of credit in an amount up to $1,000,000 with Calm Seas. Pursuant to the terms of the equity line of credit, commencing on the effective date of the Exchange and continuing for a period of 24 months, we will have the right to put to Calm Seas shares of our common stock on a monthly basis at a price equal to 80% of the market price of our common stock.  Monthly draws under the equity line of credit facility are limited to the lesser of (1) $75,000 or (2) 150% of the average daily trading in our common stock multiplied by the average daily closing price of our common stock for the 3 trading days immediately preceding delivery of a notice of our intent to draw on the facility; provided, however, that our right to draw on the facility will be reduced as to any specific draw to the extent that the lowest bid price of our common stock during the 5 trading days following a draw is less than 75% of the average closing bid price of our common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the draw. In connection with the establishment of the equity line of credit, we have undertaken to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the shares issuable under the facility.  To date, no registration statement has been filed relative to the equity line of credit and there is no assurance that we will ever be able to access funds under that facility or that we will be able secure other capital needed to support our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of third party obligations at June 30, 2012.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations since inception.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of June 30, 2012 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2012. Such conclusion reflects the identification as material weakness: (1) the lack of written procedures and job descriptions within the Company and (2) our principal accounting officer’s lack accounting expertise.  Until we are able to remedy these material weaknesses, we have engaged third party consultants and accounting firm to assist with financial reporting.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
