Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
 
 
 
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

Boston Omaha Corporation was organized on August 11, 2009 and present management took over operations in February 2015.  The Company's operations include its ownership of multiple billboards in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Wisconsin, and equity method investments in several real estate and real estate service companies.  The Company's insurance operations are conducted through its subsidiary, General Indemnity Group, LLC.  Today, the Company's operations include both the billboard advertising business and an insurance business that specializes in surety bonds.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company realized revenues from consulting services which were attributable to one client that was related to a former officer and director of the Company.  Beginning with the second quarter of 2015, the Company ceased rendering consulting services.

On December 31, 2015, the Company transferred its interest in Ananda Investments, LLC ("Ananda") to the former controlling stockholder in full satisfaction of its note payable.  On January 22, 2016, in connection with the transfer of its interest in Ananda, the Company was released from its guaranty of Ananda's mortgage payable.  In connection with the sale of its interest in Ananda, the Company's subsidiary Ananda Holdings, LLC ceased operations. During March 2016, the ownership of Ananda Holdings, LLC was transferred to the former controlling stockholder.

The Company completed an acquisition of an outdoor advertising business and entered the outdoor advertising industry on June 19, 2015.  On July 23, 2015, August 31, 2015, February 16, 2016 and June 15, 2016, the Company completed five additional acquisitions.

On April 20, 2016, the Company completed an acquisition of a surety bond business, thus expanding its operations in insurance.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the unaudited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 as reported in the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 have been omitted.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Consolidation Policy (continued)

AHLLC is a Texas limited liability company and was formed on February 6, 2015 for the purposed of holding the Company's 40% interest in Ananda Investments LLC ("Ananda".)  LMH is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed on June 9, 2015 for the purpose of holding the investments in LMA, LMF and LMW and future entities which will be in the outdoor advertising business.  LMA is an Alabama limited liability company and was formed on June 10, 2015 to acquire outdoor advertising assets.  LMF is a Florida limited liability company and was formed on July 9, 2015 to acquire outdoor advertising assets.  LMW is a Wisconsin limited liability company and was formed on January 22, 2016 to acquire outdoor advertising assets.  GIG was formed on September 11, 2015 and began operations during October 2015 for the purpose of holding the Company's insurance operations.  The Company acquired TWA on April 20, 2016 for the purpose of expanding its insurance operations.
 
Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of advertising agency commissions, sales discounts, and allowances for doubtful accounts.  The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on its knowledge of its customers and historical experience of bad debts.  In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, it records a specific allowance to reduce the amounts recorded to what it believes will be collected.  For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad debt based upon historical experience of bad debts as a percentage of revenue, adjusted for relative improvement or deterioration in its agings and changes in current economic conditions.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $28,577 and $2,111, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation and amortization are provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from:

 
Structures 15 years 
Digital displays and electrical
3 to 10 years
Static and tri-vision displays
7 to 15 years

Overview

Boston Omaha Corporation was originally incorporated as REO Plus, Inc. on August 10, 2009 under the laws of the State of Texas.  On March 18, 2015, we reincorporated as a Delaware corporation and changed our name to Boston Omaha Corporation.   Our principal address is 292 Newbury Street, Suite 333, Boston, Massachusetts  02115 and our telephone number is 857-256-0079.

We currently operate several lines of business, including outdoor billboards and related advertising services, a surety insurance brokerage firm, and maintain minority ownership positions in several real estate ventures.  Since June 2015, we have acquired seven different outdoor billboard businesses located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Wisconsin which own and operate over 520 billboard signs. 

Acquisitions.

In April 2016, we acquired The Warnock Agency, Inc., a broker of surety insurance policies.  On May 19, 2016, General Indemnity Group, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a stock purchase agreement with the shareholders of United Casualty and Surety Insurance Company ("UC&S"), pursuant to which General Indemnity Group, LLC will purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of UC&S.  The purchase price for the acquired stock will be $13,000,000, to be paid to the selling stockholders at closing.  UC&S is an insurance company headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts, specializing in providing surety bonds.  UC&S is authorized to conduct business in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Florida.  The closing of the acquisition is contingent upon certain closing conditions, including the approval by the Massachusetts Division of Insurance. If such approval is granted, we estimate that the transaction would close during the second half of 2016.  During the second quarter, we also acquired several additional billboards in Georgia and Wisconsin.

Our business objective is to grow intrinsic value per share at an attractive rate by retaining capital to reinvest in the productive capabilities of our current subsidiaries, make opportunistic investments, and/or invest in new, other anticipated durable earnings streams. 
 
We were formed by a Delaware corporation then known as "Akashic Ventures, Inc." for purposes of acquiring financially attractive real estate properties.    Until December 31, 2015 we owned a 40% membership interest in Ananda Investments, LLC ("Ananda"), a Texas limited liability company that owns a particular real estate property near and west of downtown Houston, Texas.   On December 31, 2015, we sold this interest to Richard Church, our former principal stockholder, in exchange for cancellation of a promissory note we issued to Mr. Church in the original principal amount of $135,494.  
 
Financing Activities:
 
In January 2016, we commenced an offering of shares of our common stock to accredited investors (the "2016 Financing") at a price of $10.15 per share.  We raised $41,747,129 in gross proceeds, issuing an additional 4,113,017 shares of our Common Stock.  
 
As of June 30, 2016, we had issued and outstanding 5,840,417 shares of Common Stock, 1,055,560 shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase 105,556 shares of Class A Common Stock.   Including the shares issued in the 2016 Financing, and assuming all currently exercisable warrants are exercised, Magnolia and Boulderado collectively own approximately 84.8% of our current outstanding shares of common stock on a combined basis.  As each share of Class A Common Stock has 10 votes, Magnolia and Boulderado combined control the voting of 93.23% of all votes held by the holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock on a combined basis.
 
 Each holder of our common stock on January 15, 2016 who is an accredited investor has been notified of the holder's right to participate in a rights offering of common stock, which commenced in early June and which expires on August 31, 2016.    Under the terms of the rights offering, each of these qualified stockholders may participate based on his, her or its proportionate ownership of our stock prior to the commencement of the 2016 Financing and may elect to subscribe to purchase Common Stock at a price of $10.15 per share of Common Stock.   Boulderado and Magnolia will not participate further in the rights offering.
 
 We became a publicly held corporation in November 2012 when Akashic distributed to certain of its shareholders a total of 132,927 shares of our Common Stock held by it.  We have not yet registered as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but intend to do so in the near future.
 
Plan of Operation
 
 Present management took over operations in May 2015.  Since June 2015, we have  acquired outdoor billboard assets in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Wisconsin and expect to continue to seek additional acquisitions in billboard advertising.  We have also acquired an insurance brokerage firm specializing in surety insurance and have entered into an agreement to acquire UC&S, an insurance company specializing in providing surety bonds. We believe these businesses offer the potential to provide a durable and growing cash flow stream over time.  In addition, we believe that in the outdoor billboard business, multiple opportunities could exist in time for the industry at large including but not limited to: supply limitations, demand growth, opportunity to convert static billboard faces to digital applications when the economics are favorable, and a growing use of billboard advertising by customers who previously ignored or underutilized the medium due to the general inflexibility of static board contracts.  We source acquisitions both internally via phone calls or mailings and also by receipt of target acquisition opportunities from a number of brokers and other professionals.  
21

 
 
In addition to these completed and pending acquisitions, we are also seeking opportunities to acquire other businesses or a significant interest in existing businesses.  We look to acquire businesses in their entirety that have consistently demonstrated earnings power over time, with attractive pretax historical returns on tangible equity capital, while utilizing minimal to no debt, and that are available at a reasonable price.  However, we may consider minority positions when the economics are favorable.  In certain circumstances, we may enter lines of business directly when the opportunities and economics of doing so are favorable in comparison to acquisitions.
 
From June 19, 2015 through June 30, 2016, we have raised $66,858,310 through the sale of our equity securities, which includes the conversion of $606,000 in principal and interest under certain loans to equity.  We have also extinguished the remaining $135,494 in debt through the exchange of our minority interest in a real estate venture for the cancellation of this debt.  As a result, and after payment for the acquisitions described above, as of June 30, 2016, we had $43,230,597 in cash and no debt.  This figure excludes our obligation to pay $13,000,000 to the stockholders of UC&S if and when the UC&S transaction is consummated.

 
Results of Operations 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
 
Revenues.  During the second quarter of 2016, we had revenues of $994,279. During the second quarter of 2015, we had no revenues.  We realized revenues of $800,518 from billboard rentals during the second quarter of 2016.  We also realized revenues of $193,761 from  insurance commissions from our subsidiary, The Warnock Agency, Inc., which we acquired in April 2016.  Revenues increased 93.6% in the second quarter of 2016 from the first quarter of 2016, principally as the result of the acquisitions completed in 2016.  Billboard rental revenues increased to $800,518 in the second quarter of 2016 compared to billboard rental revenues of $513,544 during the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 55.9%.  This increase was derived primarily from the addition of certain billboard operations acquired during the first quarter of 2016.  Revenues also increased from insurance commissions following the acquisition of The Warnock Agency, Inc.  during the second quarter of 2016.
 
Expenses.  During the second quarter of 2016, we had expenses in the amount of $1,651,450, primarily from the cost of employees, cost of billboard revenues excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, and general and administrative expenses, which combined totaled $871,014.  Non-cash expenses included $225,370 in depreciation and $206,814 in amortization expenses associated with our acquisitions in 2015 and 2016.   We also incurred $346,975 in professional fees, associated primarily with legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with a number of acquisitions which occurred in the second quarter of 2016, as well as our costs incurred as a public company.  Expenses increased 26.3% in the second quarter of 2016 from $1,307,749 during the first quarter of 2016 as a result of increased billboard operations, including the addition of certain billboard operations acquired  primarily during the first quarter of 2016, and expenses associated with the operations of The Warnock Agency, Inc., which was acquired during the second quarter of 2016.   For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred total costs and expenses of $176,178, primarily associated with the acquisition of outdoor billboards from Bell Media, LLC, activities in connection with the acquisition of assets of Fair Outdoor, LLC, which acquisition was completed in July 2015, and our reincorporation as a Delaware corporation.    
 
Net Loss from Operations.   Net loss from operations during the second quarter of 2016 increased to $657,171 from a net loss from operations of $176,178 during the second quarter of 2015. However, net loss from operations decreased from a net loss of $793,935 during the first quarter of 2016, or a decrease of 17.2%.   $432,184 of this net loss from operations is associated with non-cash amortization and depreciation expenses.  In addition, certain of our professional legal and accounting expenses are one-time expenses associated with acquisitions.  At June 30, 2016, we had recorded goodwill of $7,632,698 and intangible assets of $3,428,250, net of amortization.  We expect to continue to incur significant depreciation, and amortization expenses for the foreseeable future as we incur depreciation and amortization charges associated with completed acquisitions, our pending anticipated acquisition of UC&S and potential future acquisitions.
 
22

 
Other Income (Expense).   During the second quarter of 2016, we had equity in income of $17,826 from our investments in certain real estate businesses.  This equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate represents a $13,184 increase from the equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate in the amount of $4,642 during the second quarter of 2015 from our then interest in Ananda Holdings.   During the second quarter of 2016, we had interest expense in the amount of $316, a decrease from interest expense of $8,009 in the second quarter of 2015.  All of this interest expense was due to loans issued to Boulderado and Magnolia and a prior loan issued by the Company to Richard Church.  We converted or otherwise extinguished many of our outstanding loans in 2015 and converted the final outstanding loans during the first quarter of 2016.

Net Loss.   We had a net loss before income taxes of $639,661 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to a loss of $179,545 during the second quarter of 2015, or a per-share loss of $0.11 during the second quarter of 2016, compared to a per-share loss of $0.44 during the second quarter of 2015.  Although the net loss increased, the net loss per share decreased because the shares sold in the 2016 financing increased the number of weighted shares outstanding from 407,195 at June 30, 2015 to 5,945,267 at June 30, 2016.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
 
Revenues.  We realized revenues of $1,507,823 during the six months ended June 30, 2016.  $1,314,062 of these revenues were from billboard rentals.  We completed three billboard rental acquisitions at various times during this six month period.  Revenues also included revenues from The Warnock Agency, Inc. which we acquired during the second quarter of 2016.   During the first six months of 2015, we had revenues in the amount of $9,700 from consulting services.   We no longer provide the real estate consulting services from which we derived revenues during the first six months of 2015.
 
Expenses.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had expenses in the amount of $2,958,929, primarily from the cost of employees, cost of billboard revenues excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, and general and administrative expenses, which combined totaled $1,488,108.  Non-cash expenses included $408,338 in depreciation and $341,306 in amortization expenses associated with our acquisitions in 2015 and 2016.   We also incurred $692,495 in professional fees, associated primarily with legal and accounting expenses associated with a number of acquisitions which occurred in 2016, as well as costs associated with the 2016 Financing and our costs incurred as a public company.      During the first six months of 2015, we had expenses in the amount of $248,599, which expenses were primarily in professional fees in the first six months of 2015 in connection with several acquisitions and potential acquisitions during the first six months of 2015 and certain corporate reorganization activities.
 
Net Loss from Operations.  Net loss from operations was $1,451,106 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Of this loss, non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses associated with acquisitions accounted for $749,644 of the loss.  This compares to net losses from operations in the amount of $238,899 during the first six months of 2015 when we did not have any billboard operations or depreciation and amortization expenses associated with any acquisitions.
 
Other Income (Expense).   During the first six months of 2016, we had a loss of $26,335 in equity of our interests in certain real estate ventures.  We also incurred interest expense of $2,058.  During the first six months of 2015, we had equity in income of its unconsolidated affiliate, Ananda, in the amount of $8,414.    During the first six months of 2015, we had interest expense in the amount of $16,303.  
 
Net loss.   We had a net loss in the amount of $1,479,499 during the first six months of 2016, or a per-share loss of $0.29, based on 5,167,433 weighted average shares issued and outstanding.   This compared to a net loss in the amount of $246,788 during the first six months of 2015, or a per-share loss of $0.73, based on 337,982 weighted average shares issued and outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

Currently, we own billboards in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Wisconsin, a surety insurance brokerage firm we acquired in April 2016, and have minority investments in several real estate entities.  We also have a pending acquisition of UC&S with a purchase price of $13,000,000.   Our strategy is to continue to acquire other billboard locations and insurance businesses as well as acquire other businesses which we would expect to generate positive cash flows.  We currently expect to finance any future acquisition with cash and seller or third party financing.  In the future, we may satisfy a portion of the purchase price for a property with the Company's equity securities.  At June 30, 2016, we had $43,230,597 in cash.  As a result, we have adequate resources to complete the UC&S acquisition and a certain limited number of acquisitions with these proceeds.    We expect we will need to procure cash to fund future acquisitions once these funds are utilized.  

We continue to explore both the type and scope of acquisitions and business lines that we wish to pursue.  The amount of capital that we will need will depend on the scope of the acquisitions and business lines that we ultimately decide to pursue, which is uncertain at this time.  However, for us to acquire significant additional businesses, we expect to undertake certain financing activities once we exhaust the funding raised in the 2016 Financing.  The sources for financing would initially most likely be institutional investors or accredited individuals.  We currently do not have any binding commitments for additional financing.  We cannot assure anyone that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonably terms.  If we do not obtain additional financing, it will limit the acquisitions we can complete.   We cannot assure anyone that we will be successful in obtaining necessary capital in our acquisition activities or that any acquisition will achieve or maintain profitability.
 
  
Seasonal Effects and Effects of Inflation

Management believes that its business interest in real estate and outdoor billboard advertising are not subject to significant seasonal variations.  Management further believes that the service nature of the businesses we operate may not be as impacted by inflation as more capital intensive businesses, since materials are not anticipated to be a significant component of our costs, and we currently possess businesses with relatively minimal capital expenditure needs.  However, management also believes inflation can affect all businesses.  Our labor, electricity usage, insurance, and other costs may be subject to inflationary pressures.  It should also be understood that we own digital billboards within our billboard assets, which must be replaced over time to maintain revenue levels and remain competitive, therefore depreciating faster than static billboards.  Historically, the cost of digital billboard faces has declined as the technology advanced, thus proving somewhat deflationary.  There is no guarantee that this will continue though, and the cost of digital billboard faces may increase.  In addition, significant decreases in general economic conditions may reduce outdoor advertising rates and adversely impact the real estate market.  Currently, we do not anticipate raising significant debt financing; therefore, we do not anticipate that operating results will be adversely affected by increased interest rates.  In the future though, we may seek to raise additional capital through debt or convertible debt financings, and in such an event, increased interest rates may increase the cost of any future borrowing.


Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 

24

 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting described below. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation.
 
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, "An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments," established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), 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.
 
Our management believes that the factors listed below raise a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements may not be timely prevented or detected and that it should therefore be considered a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Because of this material weakness, our management believes that as of June 30, 2016, our company's internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective.  
 
We are taking a number of steps to address this potential situation.  In June 2016, we hired a full-time controller.    The controller is working on a risk assessment, currently analyzing existing internal controls and coordinating our efforts to remediate any potential deficiencies in our internal controls. Earlier this year, we appointed our first independent member of our board of directors and we intend to add additional independent directors as soon as we find qualified persons willing to serve as such.   Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, based on the post-closing procedures performed, we believe that our financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls 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; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
Other than as disclosed above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
