These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived from utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:

·

the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of our blank check preferred stock.


Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made herein.

BRIGHT MOUNTAIN ACQUISITION CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(formerly known as Bright Mountain Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

 


Basis of Presentation


The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and the consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2015 have been made. The results of operations for such interim period is not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.


In connection with the preparation of its Form 10-Q in the Second quarter of 2015, the Company identified an error in the loss attributable to common stockholders on the June 30, 2014 form 10-Q.  The Company considered guidance in ASC 250, including ASC 250-10-S99 SEC, formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin Release Topic 1.M, Materiality (“SAB 99”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Release Topic 1.N, Considering the Effect of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”), and concluded that the error did not constitute a material change to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. However, in order to accurately reflect the preferred stock dividends in the appropriate period, the Company has restated the loss available to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The identified error did not have any effect on the balance sheet, statement of stockholders equity or statement of cashflows. The balances for the three and six month periods have been adjusted to reflect the adjustment as if it had been made in the correct period.


The table below describes the impact on the loss attributable to common stockholders for the changes described above:

Principles of Consolidation


The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bright Mountain LLC and The Bright Insurance Agency, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Use of Estimates


Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our condensed consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management's judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Significant estimates included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the fair value of acquired assets for purchase price allocation in business combinations, valuation of inventory, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of amortization period for intangible assets, estimates of depreciation period for fixed assets, valuation of equity based transactions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.


We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures."  This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.


Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.


The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.


Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.

Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue on our products in accordance with ASC 605-10, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized on sales transactions when all of the following exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement did exist; delivery of product has occurred; the sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has several revenue streams generated directly from its website and specific revenue recognition criteria for each revenue stream is as follows:


·

Sale of merchandise directly to consumers: The Company's product sales are recognized either FOB shipping point or FOB destination, dependent on the customer. Revenues are therefore recognized at point of ownership transfer, accordingly.

·

Advertising revenue is received directly form companies who pay the Company a monthly fee for advertising space.

·

Advertising revenues are generated by users "clicking" on website advertisements utilizing several ad network partners: Revenues are recognized, on a net basis, upon receipt of payment by the ad network partner since the revenue is not determinable until it is received.

·

Subscription revenues are generated by the sale of access to career postings on one of our websites. The term of the subscriptions range from one month to twelve months. Revenues are recognized, on a net basis, over the term of the subscription period. All sales are final per the subscription Terms of Use.


The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605-50-25, "Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments". Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products included in inventories. Promotional products or samples given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of goods sold. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.


Cost of Sales


Components of costs of sales include product costs, shipping costs to customers and any inventory adjustments.


Shipping and Handling Costs


The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers as cost of revenues.


Sales Return Reserve Policy


Our return policy generally allows our end users to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products. We estimate a reserve for sales returns, if any, and record that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability. Sales to consumers on our web site generally may be returned within a reasonable period of time.


Product Warranty Reserve Policy


The Company is a retail distributor of products and warranties are the responsibility of the manufacturer. Therefore, the Company does not record a reserve for product warranty


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets of seven years for office furniture and equipment, and five years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements, if any, would be amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs along with fixed assets below our capitalization threshold of $500 are expensed as incurred.

Website Development Costs


The Company accounts for its website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50 "Website Development Costs". These costs, if any, are included in intangible assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements or expensed immediately if the Company cannot support recovery of these costs from positive future cash flows.


ASC 350-50 requires the expensing of all costs of the preliminary project stage and the training and application maintenance stage and the capitalization of all internal or external direct costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage. Upgrades or enhancements that add functionality are capitalized while other costs during the operating stage are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes the capitalized website development costs over an estimated life of five years.


As of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, all website development costs have been expensed.


Amortization and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Amortization and impairment of long-lived assets are non-cash expenses relating primarily to website acquisitions. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.


Website acquisition costs are amortized over five years. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net 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 of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. While it is likely that we will have significant amortization expense as we continue to acquire websites, we believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired website to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of assets, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business. Non-cash impairment loss is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, non-cash impairment expense was $0 and $0 respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, non-cash amortization expense was $86,136 and $52,849 respectively.


ASC 360-10 requires the review of the residual value and useful life of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles at least at each financial year end.  The Company revised the useful life of its website acquisition assets with effect from January 1, 2015. The revision was accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimates and as a result, the Company’s website acquisition assets costs are amortized over five years.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees for services in accordance with ASC Topic 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation." ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC Topic 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees". The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Non-cash stock-based stock option compensation is expensed over the requisite service period and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, non-cash stock-based stock option compensation expense was $29,124 and $41,325, respectively.

Advertising, Marketing and Promotion Costs


Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $14,537 and $68,873, respectively.


Income Taxes


We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.


The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10 "Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions." tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.


As of June 30, 2015, tax years 2014, 2013, and 2012 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit or any notifications from the IRS for any of the open tax years.


Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share


In accordance with ASC 260-10 "Earnings Per Share", basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 there were approximately 1,605,000 and 1,470,000 common stock equivalent shares outstanding as stock options, respectively and 5,200,000 and 2,600,000 common stock equivalents from the conversion of preferred stock, respectively. Equivalent shares were not utilized as the effect is anti-dilutive.


Segment Information


In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company has two identifiable operating segments based on the activities of the Company in accordance with the ASC 28-10. The Company's two segments are product sales and services as of June 30, 2015. The product sales segment sells merchandise to customers thorough e-commerce distributor portals and directly to consumers through our proprietary websites and retail location. The services segment is focused on producing advertising revenue generated by users "clicking" on website advertisements utilizing several ad network partners and direct advertisers and subscription revenue generated by the sale of access to career postings on one of our websites.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35 "Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts." The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 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 provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.


In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter.  Early application is permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a net loss of $721,982 and used cash in operating activities of $785,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,206,643 at June 30, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from related parties to sustain its current level of operations.

 

Management plans to continue to raise additional capital through private placements and is exploring additional avenues for future fund-raising through both public and private sources.


The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Leases


The Company leases its corporate offices at 6400 Congress Avenue, Suite 2050, Boca Raton, Florida 33487 under a long-term non-cancellable lease agreement, which contains renewal options. The lease, which was entered into on August 25, 2014 was amended on July 30, 2015 to increase the original approximate 2,014 square feet to approximately 4,450 square feet.  The term of the lease was extended and will terminate on March 14, 2019 at a current base rent of for a term of approximately $8,978 per month for the first twelve months with a 3% escalation each year. An additional security deposit of $2,500 was required. Rent is all-inclusive and includes electricity, heat, air-conditioning, and water. The original rent commencement date is October 11, 2014 and will expire on March 14, 2019.


Legal


From time-to-time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2015, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.


Other Commitments


The Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, with an effective date of June 1, 2014. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will compensate the Chief Executive Officer with a base salary of $75,000 annually, and he is entitled to receive discretionary bonuses as may be awarded by the Company's Board of Directors from time to time. The initial term of the agreement is three years, and the Company may extend it for an additional one-year period upon written notice at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the term.


The Chief Executive Officer's base salary was increased to $96,000 annual effective July 1, 2015 upon recommendation of the compensation committee.


The agreement will terminate upon the Chief Executive Officer's death or disability. In the event of a termination upon his death, the Company is obligated to pay his beneficiary or estate an amount equal to one year base salary plus any earned bonus at the time of his death. In the event the agreement is terminated as a result of his disability, as defined in the agreement, he is entitled to continue to receive his base salary for a period of one year. The Company is also entitled to terminate the agreement either with or without case, and the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to voluntarily terminate the agreement upon one year's notice to the Company. In the event of a termination by the Company for cause, as defined in the agreement, or voluntarily by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company is obligated to pay him the base salary through the date of termination. In the event the Company terminates the agreement without cause, the Company is obligated to give him one years' notice of the Company's intent to terminate and, at the end of the one year period, pay an amount equal to two times his annual base salary together with any bonuses which may have been earned as of the date of termination. A constructive termination of the agreement will also occur if the Company materially breaches any term of the agreement or if a successor company to Bright Mountain Acquisition Corporation fails to assume the Company's obligations under the employment agreement. In that event, the Chief Executive Officer will be entitled to the same compensation as if the Company terminated the agreement without cause.


The employment agreement contains customary non-compete and confidentiality provisions. The Company also agreed to indemnify the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Restated By-laws.

Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option Grants to Employees and Directors


The Company accounts for stock option compensation issued to employees for services in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC Topic 505-50,"Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees." The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.


Stock options issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with ASC 505 "Equity" and ASC 718, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided.


Stock Option Plans


The Company has adopted three stock option plans, the terms of which are substantially identical.  The purpose of each plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons into our development and financial success. Under each plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards.  The Compensation Committee of the Company's board of directors administers each plan. The material terms of each option which may be granted under each plan will contain the following terms: (i) that the purchase price of each share purchasable under an incentive option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, (ii) the term of each option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date such option is granted, and (iii) in the absence of any option vesting periods designated by the Committee at the time of grant, options shall vest and become exercisable in terms and conditions, consistent with the plan, as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the grant instrument.


On April 20, 2011, the Company's board of directors and majority stockholder adopted the 2011 Stock Option Plan (the "2011 Plan"), to be effective on January 3, 2011.  The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to Grants made under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 180,000 shares. As of June 30, 2015, 81,000 shares were remaining under the 2011 Plan for future issuance.


On April 1, 2013, the Company's board of directors and majority stockholder adopted the 2013 Stock Option Plan (the "2013 Plan"), to be effective on April 1, 2013. The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to grants made under the 2013 Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 180,000 shares. During the year ended December 31, 2014, 129,000 shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan were forfeited. As of June 30, 2015, 44,000 shares were remaining under the 2013 Plan for future issuance.

(formerly known as Bright Mountain Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

 


On May 22, 2015, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2015 Stock Option Plan (the "2015 Plan"), to be effective on May 22, 2015.  Effective August 3, 2015, and as disclosed in the Company's Information Statement on Schedule 14C, the Company's majority shareholders ratified the adoption of the 2015 Plan.  The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2015 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to grants made under the 2015 Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 100,000 shares. As of June 30, 2015, 1,000,000 shares were remaining under the 2015 Plan for future issuance.


On March 23, 2015 the Company granted 40,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.75 per share to a director.  The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $17,223 or $0.4306 per option.


The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates.


The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors, which is subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

The expected life is computed using the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on an average of similar public companies historical volatility.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.


The Company recorded $15,390 and $15,563 stock option expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 respectively.  The Company recorded $29,124 and $41,325 stock option expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 respectively.  The $29,124 non-cash stock option expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 has been recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


As of June 30, 2015 there were total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements of $72,091 to be recognized through June 2019.


The grant date weighted average for fair values of options granted in 2015 is $ 0.43 per option.

NOTE 9 – CONCENTRATIONS


The Company purchases a substantial amount of its products from two vendors; Citizens Watch Company of America, Inc., and Bulova Corporation. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, purchases from Citizens accounted for 39% and purchases from Bulova accounted for 22%, of the total products purchased as compared to 60% and 32%, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  During the six months ended June 30, 2015, purchases from Citizens accounted for 39% and purchases from Bulova accounted for 26%, of the total products purchased as compared to 64% and 29%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Although we have added additional product vendors in the past twelve month period, and we continue to expand our product line and vendor relationships, due to continued high concentration and reliance on these two vendors, the loss of one of these two vendors could adversely affect the Company's operations.


The Company sells many of its products through various e-commerce distribution portals, which include Amazon and eBay. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, these two distributor portals accounted for 78% and 2%, respectively of our total revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, these two distributor portals accounted for 77% and 3%, respectively of our total revenue. Although our direct product sales has increased to 7% of total revenue as compared to 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 6% of total revenue as compared to <1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to the high concentration and reliance on these two e-commerce distributor portals, the loss of a working relationship with either of these two distributor portals could adversely affect the Company's operations.


A substantial amount of payments for our products sold are processed through PayPal. A disruption in PayPal payment processing could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and cash flow.


The Company obtained approximately 57% of its advertising revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from a third-party provider, namely Google AdSense. Paid listings are priced on a price per click basis and when a user submits a search query and then clicks on a Google AdSense paid listing displayed in response to the query, Google bills the advertiser that purchased the paid listing directly and shares a portion of the fee charged to the advertiser with the Company. The Company's remaining 43% of advertising revenue was from direct advertising and subscriptions.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


The following discussion of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.


Overview


We are a media holding company for online assets primarily targeted to the military and public safety sectors. We own and manage websites, which are customized to provide our niche users, including active, reserve and retired military, law enforcement, and fire fighters with information and news that which believe may be of interest to them. We generate revenues from two segments, product sales and services, which consists of advertising revenue and subscriptions. Within our product sales segment, we generate product sales revenue through e-commerce distributors portals such as Amazon and eBay, and direct sales though proprietary websites and a retail location.


We have grown from one website in March 2013 to 20 websites today, including our corporate website and TheBright.com. Of the 20 websites currently in our portfolio, 17 were acquired; six were acquired in 2013, seven were acquired in 2014, and four were acquired in 2015. Additionally, we own the website BrightWatches.com which we developed and operate. Our strategy is to continue to build scale and also expand our reach to our chosen demographic.  We hired a digital sales manager July 1, 2015 with the goal of increasing the level of e-commerce of our websites.


The following table provides comparative information on the quarterly growth in our revenues over the periods presented:

Although our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 6% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, our total revenue increased by 47% and our gross profit increased by 77% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ending June 30, 2014. Further, revenue from services, comprised of advertising revenue and subscriptions, increased by 169% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.   Our direct product sales and our e-commerce distributor product sales increased 1,217% and 28% respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. These increases are being powered by website traffic increases of over 380% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of organic growth and acquisitions.

[bmaq_10q005.gif]


While the Department of Defense and military and civilian personnel payroll outlays have increased in recent years, in part due to rising U.S. health-care costs, the number of personnel employed by the Department of Defense has declined. These economic factors could likely have an impact on expendable income within our target demographics, which could also have an effect on advertisers' spending budgets for our demographics. Conversely, we believe that an increase in governmental defense budgets could have a positive result.


We believe that advertising and marketing budgets continue to grow with digital marketing and advertising channels having budget increases where traditional print channels are likely to continue to see budget reductions. Management continues to focus its efforts on continued growth of our digital media reach through organic growth and acquisitions of strategic websites consistent with its niche market.


We are committed to continue to add websites to our portfolio in 2015 and beyond with additional Internet properties that will fit strategically into our business objectives, subject to the availability of sufficient capital.

Going Concern


For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we reported a net loss of $721,982, cash used in operating activities of $785,357 and we had an accumulated deficit of $5,206,643 at June 30, 2015.  The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the years then ended contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses, cash used in operations and accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate revenues or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

The increase in both our direct product sales and revenues from services reflects the impact of increased visitor traffic as a result of additional websites acquired during 2014 and to date in 2015, and organic growth from cross traffic to our full family of sites.  The increase in distributor product sales reflects the impact of expanded product lines.


Cost of sales: We recognize cost of sales related to our product sales segment. Cost of sales, as a percentage of total revenue, was 73% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 71% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and cost of sales, as a percentage of total revenue was 67% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 73% for the same period 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Our total selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased 2% from the three months ended June 30, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 6% from the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increases in total selling, general and administrative expenses in each period can be attributed to ongoing implementation of our business plan and our need to add employees to manage our growth.  Non-cash amortization of our website acquisition assets, increased 46% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, and increased 63% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. The following expenses represent the other material increases in our total selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 from the comparable periods in 2014;


·

payroll, payroll taxes, and employee medical expenses increased by 11% and 15% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015;

·

rent increased by 35% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015;

·

insurance expense increased by 120% and 117% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015; and

·

non-cash amortization expense, which represents amortization of the Company’s website acquisition assets, increased by 46% and 63% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.


While our total revenue increased by 48% and 47% for the second quarter of 2015 and the six months then ended, respectively, as compared to 2014 periods, our total selling, general and administrative expense increased by 2% and 6%, respectively.  While our gross profit decreased to 27% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 33% of total revenue as compared to 27% for the same period in 2014.


Liquidity and capital resources


Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of June 30, 2015 we had $289,370 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $1,081,549, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $590,236 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $1,138,903 at December 31, 2014. Our principal sources of operating capital have been equity financings. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we raised $690,000 in capital through the sale of our securities.


We continue to use our working capital to purchase additional websites. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we purchased four websites for an aggregate amount of $439,500; $262,500 through the issuance of 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and $177,000 is cash.  Of the $177,000 in cash, $157,500 had been paid as of June 30, 2015 with the remaining $19,500 to be paid at a rate of $1,500 per month for 13 months as further described under Note 3 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing earlier in this report. Presently, our average total monthly operating overhead is approximately $157,000 of which, approximately $137,000 is cash operating overhead. As we continue to grow our business we expect that our monthly cash operating overhead will continue to increase as we add personnel, although we are not able at this time to quantify the amount of this expected increase.


While we generated revenues of $682,030 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, we do not anticipate that we will generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations for the next 12 months and we will need to raise additional working capital of at least $1,200,000.  We do not have any firm commitments for this necessary capital and there are no assurances we will be successful in raising the capital upon terms and conditions, which are acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise the necessary additional working capital, absent a significant increase in our revenues, of which there is no assurance, we will be unable to continue to grow our company and may be forced to reduce certain operating expenses in an effort to conserve our working capital.


Cash flows


Net cash flows used in operating activities was $785,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $876,129 used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014. In the six months ended June 30, 2015 we used cash primarily to fund our net loss of $721,982, and increases in our inventory of $219,796. These increases were offset by a decrease in prepaid costs and expenses.


Net cash used in investing activities was $160,272 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $359,517 used in investing activities for the same period in 2014.  Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was substantially less than for the same period in 2014 since the Company issued common stock valued at $262,500 for website acquisitions.  In the 2015 period we used cash and issued common stock to purchase websites and fixed assets, and in the 2014 period we used cash only to purchase websites and fixed assets.




24



 


Net cash flows provided from financing activities was $644,763 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $651,202 for the same period in 2014. In both periods, cash was provided from the sale of our securities, net of repayments of debt obligations.


Non-GAAP Measure


We report adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to GAAP. This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our business, on which our internal budgets and based. We believe that investors have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and description of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure.


Our adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income/loss excluding: (1) non-cash stock option compensation expense, (2) depreciation, (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization expense, and (ii) impairment expense, and (4) non-cash stock compensation for services. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful year-to-year comparison of our performance. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business as a whole. The above items are excluded from adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, and we believe that by excluding these items, adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the cash operating income/loss generated from our business. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our statement of operations of certain expense.

Critical accounting policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.


Recent accounting pronouncements


The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies as described in Note 1 appearing earlier in this report that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.


All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.




25



 


Off balance sheet arrangements


As of the date of this report, 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 are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.


ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.


ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.


Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  These material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting included:


Ÿ

our company currently has only one employee who is responsible for handling the cash and making deposits, posting cash receipts, writing and mailing checks, and posting cash disbursements. Our CEO reviews bank statements and reconciliations on a monthly basis as a mitigating control until such time as funds are available to us to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives, and


Ÿ

we do not currently have monitoring controls in place to ensure correct analysis and application of generally accepted accounting principles.


The material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2014 remain unchanged from December 31, 2013.  During 2014, as a partial remedial action for the material weaknesses, we contemplated retaining an outside accountant with SEC accounting experience on an as needed basis as a monitoring control. This consultant was, however, not engaged during 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we retained an outside accountant with SEC accounting experience on an as needed basis as a partial remedial action for material weaknesses in internal control and as a monitoring control.  Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2014 or for the six months ended June 30, 2015.


However, management recognized that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors could adversely affect reporting in future years, when our operations become more complex and less transparent and require higher level of financial expertise. As a result, between October 2014 and March 2015 we expanded our board of directors to add two additional independent members, one of which is considered an audit committee financial expert. Our board of directors is now comprised of 50% management directors and 50% independent directors and created an audit committee consisting of two outside directors of our board who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.




26



 


Subject to the availability of sufficient funds during 2015 to expand our accounting staff, we also expect to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and, if necessary, hire independent third parties or consultants to provide expert advice as needed. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have improved our internal control over financial reporting.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
